The surrounding chefs asked about the aroma and watched Lynn and Red drinking the soup. Their mouths watered uncontrollably, and they couldn't help but swallow.

After finishing the soup in the pottery bowl, they noticed the increasing number of townsmen gradually returning to the cafeteria.

Under the watchful eyes of the chefs and townsmen, Lynn led Red away from the cafeteria.

Just as Lynn had guessed.

Outside the cafeteria, the sky was already gradually darkening.

More and more townsmen returning from their labor walked on the lime road, forming a long line heading back to the town.

Despite the temperature being very low, minus two degrees.

It couldn't stop their desire to return to the town for a meal and to rest at home.

After watching for a moment.

Lynn started walking towards the distant castle.

While walking, Lynn spoke, "Red, do you feel fortunate now that I didn't let you leave back then?"

Red hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I have felt fortunate. Kuisi has mentioned this topic to me no less than ten times."

"She said that if it weren't for your kind heart letting me heal here, staying on your territory."

"Perhaps I would have died at the hands of bandits or been exploited by other lords already..."

"Master, I can survive in the forest, in the mountains."

"But Kuisi..."

Listening to Red's outpouring of grievances, Lynn didn't mind at all.

On the contrary, once Kuisi was mentioned, Red began to speak more.

Kuisi is his younger sister, naturally the person closest to him.

Lynn responded, "Mm, stay here in the future!"

Red looked straight at Lynn and replied firmly, "Yes, Master!"

Crossing the red brick ground, Lynn returned to the castle.

As usual, Kuisi had already prepared dinner.

After dinner, Lynn once again sat in the study illuminated by candlelight.

Now, the designs for the Wolf Fang Club and Winch were completed and annotated.

He still needed to draw the design for the Semen Knife Car and needed to use the most straightforward language for annotations and explanations.

Otherwise.

Even if Colin could read, he wouldn't understand some specialized jargon.

…

Below the city wall.

A squad of soldiers exchanging meals began swapping positions.

Despite the previous snowy weather, layers of snow pressed down on them, making them shiver.

Their task of guarding the city wall never stopped.

Let alone now, when it was just a cold wind blowing.

After dinner, Earl stepped onto the tower stairs, but a shout came from behind him.

"Earl."

Seemingly deep in thought, Earl didn't notice at all.

He continued walking, and the next second, the shout grew louder and reached his ears.

"Earl, Mendes!"

Earl was startled and came back to his senses instantly.

He turned to look behind, where Rose was standing, looking at him.

Earl dared not delay any longer, and quickly retreated down the stairs, jogging towards Rose.

Earl bowed, saying, "Instructor Ross!"

Rose stared straight at Earl and asked, "What happened? You're not required to guard the night today."

Earl hesitated for two seconds before explaining, "Instructor Ross, when I returned to town today to report information about the spies to the Lord..."

"I inadvertently contradicted Master Lynn..."

Rose furrowed his brows, "Explain more clearly."

Earl continued, "Instructor Ross, Jeremy was the first person I met after coming to the territory."

"He's a good person with a wife and son...even before I became a soldier, he invited me to his Red Brick House as a guest."

"Besides the food given to me by the Lord, he was the one who brightened my days the most."

"But now, Jeremy has been taken back to his territory by Aiden..."

"Although it's very likely he was killed like other spies, the spies sent out again have not gathered any information on him..."

"His fate remains uncertain."

Rose acknowledged with a sound, "Continue."

Earl proceeded, "So... I subconsciously asked the Lord, are we really doing nothing?"

"The Lord said he doesn't like to repeat himself."

"Instructor Ross, I've probably disappointed the Lord, let him down..."

Knowing that a few days later, the Lord publicly praised and conferred honors upon him in front of many townsmen.

Rose stared at him, frowning, "Why didn't you mention this when you reported to me this morning?"

Earl lowered his head, "I thought... it wasn't important."

Rose replied powerfully, "It is important!"

Hearing this, Earl's body trembled sharply, not daring to utter a word.

Rose continued, "According to the return message from the spies who gathered information, Jeremy indeed has a chance of survival!"

"However, after being caught by the enemy, even if he's still alive, he must die immediately under the conditions that allow it!"

Earl immediately raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why? Instructor?"

Rose said solemnly, "Being captured by the enemy means facing torture, a life of utter misery."

"Until finally, forced to divulge the information the enemy wishes to hear."

"For him, it might be the only way to stay alive, but for the territory, for the Lord, and even for his family, it's betrayal!"

Earl remained silent.

Rose continued, "Moreover, the information within Aiden's territory remains unknown."
