"I just want to express that such a division of interests is not reasonable!"

Banaby in the main seat and Theodore across from him fell silent.

Even though Will's words were harsh to hear.

But they knew that Will was right!

It wasn't until ten minutes later.

With Banaby seeing them off, Theodore and Will walked out of the manor residence, reaching the front gate.

Watching as Will climbed into his carriage.

With several soldiers escorting it, the carriage drove away from the residence.

At the manor residence entrance.

Only Banaby and Theodore remained standing.

Banaby's gaze was still on the carriage as it left, and he said calmly, "Theodore, what do you think?"

"Will he stand on our side?"

Theodore shook his head, "I don't know, he's even more shrewd than we imagined."

"As he said, the distribution of interests is more complicated than the three of us working together to destroy Frank Manor."

"If misallocated, it's possible that while we destroy Frank Manor, a new war will immediately erupt, lasting until the bitter end!"

What is the purpose of eradicating the Frank Clan?

To be free from the control and direction of Frank Manor?

Is it disdain for a woman ordering us around?

None of those!

The most fundamental reason is interest.

Banaby replied, "Then let's think it over carefully. Dividing it into thirds is always the simplest and most straightforward way to distribute it, in my opinion."

Theodore neither refuted nor agreed.

Banaby glanced behind him, where six young women from the Golden Desert were lined up.

He said, "Since Moore isn't interested in these women, you can take them back."

"Take three women back with you."

Theodore's eyes lit up at Banaby's words.

He responded, "Thank you, Manor Lord Banaby."

"To be honest, I've never tried women from the Exotic Realm before!"

Banaby laughed, "Then be careful, they say they're quite fierce!"

Theodore showed an expectant smile.

Even before taking the three Kusset women back to his territory.

The image of a ménage à trois had already formed in his mind.

…

For five consecutive days.

Lynn had been working in the logging workshop.

During his breaks, he thought for a moment and opened the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel.

[Collection: Level 2 (431/500)] (+)

Looking at the experience about to level up, Lynn felt a sense of satisfaction.

In just a day or two, he could grind the [Collection] skill to Level 3, unlocking a new function panel and gaining an additional [Talent Duplication Book].

During this time, he'd been observing the attribute panel of people arriving in the territory.

Needless to mention [Talent], even those with [Skills] were extremely rare.

So much so.

That even now, he had four [Talent Duplication Books] but nowhere to use them.

Fortunately.

The current territory hadn't encountered any danger.

With his current abilities and the protection of Red and the territorial guards.

It was enough to deal with most dangers.

Suppressing the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, Lynn gripped the Two-Handed Axe in his hand and continued chopping.

Thud~

Thud~

Thud~

…

With each thud of the axe on the trunk creating a dull sound.

His [Collection] skill experience was rapidly increasing.

[Collection Experience +1]

[Collection Experience +1]

[Collection Experience +1]

…

Lynn also considered improving his [Collection] skill experience by removing weeds.

But cutting down trees would yield more logs, used in the workshops for the production of sleepers and track wood.

As Lynn continued to chop, the sky gradually darkened again.

After telling all woodcutters they could leave work.

Lynn was the first to walk out of the logging site, towards the forest's edge.

However.

This time, Lynn didn't return to Lord's Square to observe the returning townsmen.

Instead, he went with Red towards the hospital.

Ten minutes later.

Lynn walked directly into the hospital.

Upon seeing Lynn, Old John immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Coming up beside him, Old John spoke respectfully, "Milord."

Lynn responded, "Did you make the tincture?"

Old John, feeling somewhat embarrassed, shook his head quickly, "Milord, I mostly grind herbs to treat minor injuries and illnesses for the townsmen, or perhaps just gather and plant some herbs."

"I don't have such skill, do I?"

Old John explained, "The tincture was made by scholar Dorothy."

"She's in the pharmacology room now."

Lynn acknowledged.

With Old John leading, Lynn arrived at a wooden door.

After knocking, Old John opened the door directly.

Immediately.

A strong scent of alcohol wafted into Lynn's nose.

Dorothy Perez, who was busy with her work, looked up at Lynn, her eyes brightening.

She quickly put down her tools, wiped her hands, and walked towards Lynn.

Bowing slightly, she respectfully greeted, "Lord!"

Lynn looked at Dorothy, "Old John said you made the tincture?"

Dorothy raised her brows, showing a smile.

"Yes, Lord, I made the tincture!"

"However, it's all thanks to the fact that your territory has such high-purity alcohol… ethanol!"

The word alcohol naturally came from Old John.

After Lex distilled high-purity ethanol.

A significant portion of the alcohol was used to disinfect and sterilize the wounded townsmen from land clearing and planting.

Dorothy continued, "And after learning the distillation method from foreman Lex in the brewing workshop's distillation room, I started attempting to make tinctures."

"I mixed herbs with alcohol for distillation, during which the alcohol and volatile components in the herbs evaporate into steam."

"Then, through a cooling device, the steam condenses into liquid, resulting in an herbal distillate!"

"Finally, further processing and medicinal blending are done to make herbal tinctures!"

Lynn listened quietly without interrupting Dorothy.

"Using rosemary for distillation to make tinctures can relieve headaches and mental fatigue."

"Chamomile can treat insomnia; witch hazel can stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and treat skin conditions…"

"The main advantage of tinctures is—ease of storage and use!"
