System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 205: Military Merit Promotion (10000) (5)


No one would choose to hide their strengths.

Especially in the presence of a lord with whom you are about to establish a cooperative relationship.

Hunter began to explain, "Master Lynn, business is going great!"

"Let me put it this way, many foreign merchants, once they arrive at Fisherman's Wharf, won't miss the chance to have a drink at my tavern!"

"It's not just merchants, but travelers, mercenaries, clergy, and even some relatively well-off artisans, who visit my tavern during their leisure time."

"Not just because of the convenient location near the Seine River, but also because I have very high demands and control over the quality of the drinks I sell."

"What I'm sorry about is, there was a merchant who used to transport beer to Kakasong City for sale."

"Even though it's just beer, and the price is low, that beer is one of the best-tasting I've ever had."

Listening to Hunter's eloquent explanation, Lynn couldn't help but smile.

Hunter truly lives up to being a wine merchant, his conversational oratory skills are indeed quite extraordinary.

Lynn spoke, "Speaking of beer, I do have a brewing workshop in my territory, and the inventory should be quite substantial."

"Mr. Hunter, if you're interested, you can have a taste later."

Hunter replied gratefully, "That would be great, Master Lynn. Uncle Grayson said, you have always been a unique presence."

"Looking at everything now, he indeed wasn't exaggerating in the slightest..."

Lynn chuckled, "Mr. Hunter, have you known Grayson for a long time?"

Perhaps it was because of a few exchanges, Hunter let down his guard.

Or perhaps, Hunter was naturally talkative.

He admitted without reservation, "Not that long, Master Lynn."

"Altogether, it should be less than two years."

"However, I clearly remember, the first time Uncle Grayson came to Fisherman's Wharf with his longboat, he was swindled until he was left with just his underpants."

"I happened to see him then, and I let him stay at the tavern for a few days..."

"That's when I became acquainted with him, and it was because of this guy's pickiness with wines."

"It made me realize that just relying on cheap wines isn't enough to make a tavern successful."

"One must have top-quality wines to satisfy customers and make them willing to pay more!"

"By chance, I found out that Grayson is a member of the Sea Black Brown Clan, and since then, I've always addressed him as Uncle Grayson..."

Lynn nodded.

Indeed, all fates are born from coincidences.

If he hadn't taken Red and Kuisi to Kent Village to sell smoked fish,

he wouldn't have met the local traveling merchant George.

If George hadn't exchanged beer with him to sell in Morgan Town and Kakasong City,

George wouldn't have met Grayson, this slave merchant...

While Lynn and Hunter were conversing, they arrived at the tavern.

However, considering it's still work hours, apart from Lex waiting by the counter, there was no one else present.

Hunter's gaze curiously assessed the tavern's decoration and scale.

He could naturally see that this tavern hadn't been constructed long ago, as the signs of use were still faint.

Arriving at the counter, Lynn led Hunter to sit down on the chairs.

After Lex bowed in greeting, Lynn spoke,

"Lex, this is Hunter, a wine merchant from Kakasong City. He came to the territory specifically for your gin."

Lex's eyes lit up with a hint of delight.

He couldn't help but speak, "The reputation of the gin has already spread to Kakasong City?"

Hunter glanced at Lynn and, seeing that he didn't mind at all, he explained, "Yes, sir."

"But for now, only I know... Uncle Grayson told me..."

Listening to Hunter's explanation, the excitement on Lex's face didn't diminish.

Lex looked at Lynn.

Lynn spoke, "Bring out the best gin and beer to entertain Mr. Hunter."

Lex responded with a few words and, without any hesitation, took out a glazed bottle containing golden liquid from the shelf behind him.

Because the glazed bottle was so clear and transparent, they could clearly see the golden liquid inside swirling around.

Hunter's gaze was naturally drawn to the glazed bottle.

Master Lynn's brewing workshop actually used glazed glass to store the liquor!

How extravagant!

Hunter couldn't help but exclaim, "This is..."

"A glazed bottle... What a beautiful liquor color."

Lynn said nothing as Lex explained, "Gin, Lexus Gin."

"Master taught me to brew and produce it, and it was Master who named it 'Lexus Gin'."

Hunter glanced in surprise at the middle-aged man missing a left hand in front of him.

He clearly remembered that Master Lynn referred to him as 'Lex.'

Lex didn't make any unnecessary movements.

He reached out and opened the cap of the glazed bottle, and immediately, a rich aroma of the liquor wafted out from the bottle.

Even Hunter, across the counter, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What a fragrant aroma!

Under Hunter's watchful eyes, Lex first poured a glass for Lynn.

He then turned the bottle's opening to avoid spilling the gin inside.

Subsequently, Lex poured a glass of gin for Hunter.

Hunter picked up the glazed wine glass in front of him, carefully observing and smelling it.

With eyes closed, he began to narrate,

"In the herbal aroma, there is also a faint malt fragrance. The two scents complement each other, creating an inexplicable comfort without being overly pungent."
