It's not just her hair, but also the black leather armor she wears and the short sword at her waist that are constantly swaying.

Even though it's just a silhouette, Grayson only needs to watch from afar to feel the powerful aura and pressure emanating from her.

His heart races with nervousness and his breathing becomes rapid.

Grayson takes a deep breath, suppresses the tension in his heart, exhales a warm breath, and steps towards the woman ahead.

Tap-tap~

The sound of leather boots stepping on the wooden deck reaches the woman's ears.

The woman doesn't turn her head at all, as if she already knows that the person approaching is Grayson.

Cold words emanate from her mouth.

"Are the slaves appeased?"

Grayson walks beside the woman and responds, "Appeased, Audrey."

Audrey slightly turns her head to glance at Grayson, her words remaining cold.

"Grayson, how old are you this year?"

Grayson raises his eyebrows in confusion, momentarily unsure why Audrey would ask such a question.

However, he still responds truthfully, "I'm seventeen this year..."

Audrey shakes her head, "Still too immature. Someone like you can't manage the entire Brown Clan!"

Faced with Audrey's doubts, Grayson doesn't resist or refute.

Audrey continues to speak, "Slaves are slaves!"

"If there aren't enough, go capture more. Once captured, sell them. Selling them accumulates capital!"

"If slaves misbehave during transport, then just kill them off."

"As long as you possess enough power, slaves are everywhere."

Upon hearing this.

Grayson's face turns solemn, and he agrees, "You're right, Audrey."

If someone else said such things, Grayson would've scoffed at them.

What power, what rank?

Dare to speak such arrogant words?

But now, the person speaking is Audrey!

She single-handedly intervened in the imperial power struggle of the Portlands Empire.

Even though the Portlands Empire is currently in a stalemate, each side summoning vassals and soldiers.

But Audrey supports the Imperial Grandson Chronos's side, controlling the entire Royal City, holding a significant advantage.

Complete victory is just a matter of time.

Basically, once the war is won, if Audrey wishes to take vanquished soldiers and Free People as slaves.

She would have countless slaves to trade!

Audrey's words make perfect sense!

And as Audrey's caring clan sibling, he can conveniently act as a means of transport for her.

Perhaps due to their natural sibling dynamic pressure.

Grayson and Audrey soon fall into silence.

Grayson hesitates for a few seconds, just about to speak when Audrey speaks first.

"How much longer until we reach that wasteland?"

Without a moment's thought, Grayson responds, "If the river ice inland melts, we'll reach Kakasong City of the Karedi Empire in no more than ten days, and then..."

Before finishing his sentence, Grayson raises his eyebrows and immediately begins to explain.

"Audrey, I've explained to you that Lynn's territory is no longer a wasteland!"

"The city walls... right, you've already seen them!"

"In just a few short months, his territory has undergone tremendous change!"

"Dining halls, pastures, over a dozen workshop areas, hospitals, schools, even a castle, have all been completed!"

"His town has at least four to five thousand red bricks used for the daily living and residence of the townsmen!"

"The key is that Lynn's territory possesses three major mines!"

"Salt mines, iron mines, and coal mines."

"Put simply, given enough time, Lynn's presence will definitely become a force not to be underestimated by the Karedi Empire."

Listening to Grayson's uninterrupted praise and introduction of that Lord, Audrey slightly furrows her eyebrows.

"It seems you really think highly of that Lord?"

Upon hearing these words, Grayson is taken aback.

He slightly recalls; Audrey merely casually referred to it as a 'wasteland,' and he unwittingly started defending it.

Even wishing to forcibly instill his views into Audrey's mind.

Grayson doesn't refute or counter but openly admits, "Yes."

"Lynn is the most unique existence I have ever seen."

"Other Lords use force and pressure to make Peasants work laboriously."

"But Lynn tells his townsmen that their work isn't just for the territory and Lord but also for themselves."

"Other Lords want slaves to work without wanting to feed Peasants."

"But Lynn provides his townsmen with plenty of food to improve their physical condition, thereby increasing labor efficiency!"

"Other Lords never consider building schools and hospitals on their land, even if there're scholars and doctors, they're solely for them."

"But Lynn thinks about building good schools so more people can learn to read and write, gain more knowledge and skills."

"..."

Grayson's words are plain, without embellishment, merely sharing his observations from Lynn's Territory.

Through his mouth, narrating them for Audrey.

After listing several examples, Grayson looks at Audrey.

"Such a Lord, I believe, has never existed from ancient times to present, right?"

"I think what Lord Lynn has done can even be compared to you, Audrey!"
