Chapter 591: Chapter 224: You Can Marry
(10,000 Words)_6
But thinking about the current number of large livestock in the territory, and the towering trees ahead, each over tens of ters tall and more than half a ter in diater.
Lynn decided to give up.
Under the current conditions of the territory, logging can only be done manually!
Rested a little.
Lynn tightened his grip on the two-handed axe, ready to continue chopping.
A guard strode quickly, running towards him.
Perhaps because the logging site was a bit hectic, the guard kept turning his body, maneuvering to dodge.
Upon reaching Lynn’s back, the guard finally stood firm and began to report.
"Master Lynn, Kali rchant has arrived at your territory and is waiting at the Lord’s Square."
"Mr. George says... they need your help."
Kari Brown!
Ever since she returned from Triumph City and brought back tens of thousands of pounds of food for him.
It’s been almost five months!
Lynn set down the two-handed axe in his hands, "I’ll go over there right now."
The guard bent down slightly and followed behind Lynn and Red.
As they walked, Lynn asked, "Did they say what goods were delivered?"
The guard did not hesitate and responded, "Sorry, Master, I did not hear the conversation between Mr. George and Kali rchant."
Lynn acknowledged without any concern.
The guard’s duty is to maintain order and ensure stability in the territory.
Being able to achieve that is already quite comndable.
Walking through a timber and branch-strewn logging area, Lynn stepped onto the li road heading towards the town.
About ten minutes later.
Lynn arrived at the edge of the Lord’s Square.
He turned his gaze, scanning the area.
As expected, a team of horse-drawn carriages, pulled by four horses, were parked on the Lord’s Square.
Without hesitation, Lynn stepped forward.
After walking several dozen ters, a tall silhouette entered his view.
With a lithe posture, wearing a soft leather armor tightly fit against the body.
Smooth lines outlining a full chest, slender waist, and prominent hips.
Displaying power while accentuating the high curvature behind her, and that waist in clear view that could be held by a hand...
Her impressive figure is revealed without a doubt.
This familiar silhouette, this body that sparks imagination, even without seeing the face, Lynn can tell.
It’s Kari!
Kari, standing in front of George, seed to have heard a set of footsteps behind her.
Her body turned, a cascade of long hair slightly swung, as she looked over.
Upon seeing Lynn gradually walking towards her from a distance, Kari’s neatly trimd eyebrows slightly arched.
She took small steps and went to et him.
Kari’s gaze swept over Lynn, and she said, "Master Lynn, it’s been months, have you thought about ?"
Lynn similarly glanced at the embracing arms in front of him, highlighting that round whiteness and an infinite abyss.
He responded, "Of course, Miss Kari!"
This ti, Lynn did not start with the topic of goods.
Kari felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
She naturally saw Lynn’s gaze sweeping in front of her.
Kari playfully asked, "Master Lynn, do you like the leather armor I’m wearing?"
"I’ve noticed you’ve been sneaking glances several tis!"
George, who had been waiting aside, along with Red, both had slightly peculiar expressions.
Lynn naturally understood Kari’s sowhat quirky personality, he did not hide anything.
"This outfit is indeed more attractive than the last ti we t."
"Because it covers less, it better accentuates Lady Kari’s figure."
Listening to Lynn’s calm yet non-flattering words, Kari’s eyelashes slightly trembled.
Countless have praised her good figure!
Others’ praises were all in an attempt to win her affection or seduce her, then indulge in her body greedily.
But the Lynn in front of her...
Kari could clearly feel, it was a genuine admiration from the heart.
Just like looking at a beautiful piece of glazed glass, or an antique!
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Kari even felt that if it were in a room with no outsiders.
If Lynn asked her to remove the leather armor, to be admired, she wouldn’t feel afraid or timid.
All of a sudden.
Kari’s gaze towards Lynn carried a unique brilliance.
Seeing Lynn’s gaze still scanning over her, Kari laughed and said, "Master Lynn, if you like it, you could marry !"
"From the Brown Clan, marrying off a girl is not expensive."
"It only costs... ten thousand Gold Pounds!"
Lynn heard this and raised an eyebrow.
Ten thousand Gold Pounds?
If fine salt is priced at six pence per pound, that’s four hundred thousand pounds worth!
Is this marrying off a girl?
This is clearly selling!
Kari seed to have guessed Lynn’s inner thoughts; she explained, "Master Lynn, do you find it bizarre?"
Lynn nodded in response.
Kari raised her eyebrows and said, "It is indeed bizarre! To everyone, it’s not a bride price, but a sale!"
"However, this is one of the family rules of the Brown Clan."
"Not just the Brown Clan, but all Imperial Royal Families or Great Lords, highly regard the inheritance of bloodlines."
"Therefore, to ensure an orderly inheritance of bloodlines, a rule like this was specially set."
"If you want to form a family and marry outside the family, you must pay ten thousand Gold Pounds."
"Otherwise, obediently accept the family-arranged marriage."
"Regardless of gender, they share the sa fate."
Lynn thought of sothing and asked, "Grayson said if he beca the patriarch of the Brown Clan, the first thing he’d do is abolish family rules..."
"Does it relate to this rule?"
Kari nodded, "The Brown Clan has many family rules, that’s just one."
"But all family rules, without exception, are ant to uphold the family’s interests and maintain control over family mbers."
"Even if interests surpass family mbers!"
Lynn acknowledged without further questioning.
The Brown Clan, being one of the great rchants on the Garonia Continent.
Essentially, it’s no different from the Emperor of the Empire holding sway over all royal descendants.
Descendants are rely tools and chips to uphold their rule.
Seeing Lynn fall silent, Kari did not continue the topic.
She worried that if asked further and refused by Lynn.
It would be too awkward!
Understandably.
Even for a Great Lord, producing ten thousand Gold Pounds at once is extrely challenging!
Let alone Lynn, a border lord just starting to develop.
Even if his territory has salt mines, it’s still the case.
Kari shifted the topic, introducing instead.
"Master Lynn, this ti apart from transporting fifty thousand pounds of grain for you."
"I also brought a batch of dye for you!"
