However.

Despite Kari's blatant actions, she still couldn't draw Lynn's attention...

She felt that Lynn's interest in the slaves far exceeded any attention he might give her.

Could it be that Master Lynn doesn't like women?

Does he perhaps favor young men?

Unwilling to accept this, Kari wanted to try again, but she noticed a faint smile at the corner of Lynn's mouth...

Only then.

Kari finally understood.

So Lynn had already seen through her little scheming...

Lynn nodded, "No problem, I want both the slaves and the linen cloth."

Upon hearing Master Lynn's refreshing and earnestly expressed words, a bright light emerged in Kari's eyes.

Master Lynn is indeed a big client!

Kari took a deep breath, "Master Lynn, twenty thousand yards of linen cloth plus three hundred slaves..."

"That would be a total of seven hundred twenty-six Gold Pounds and thirteen shillings!"

Lynn looked directly at Kari, his words calm, "You can choose to have fine salt, or..."

Before Lynn could finish his sentence, Kari's eyes widened immediately, interrupting him.

"Fine salt?"

"Master Lynn, did you say fine salt?"

Lynn nodded, "Is there a problem?"

Embarrassment appeared on Kari's face.

Damn Grayson, he didn't tell her that Master Lynn's territory had fine salt.

"No... no problem, Master Lynn, I want the fine salt!"

"At the current market price of eight pence per pound... twenty-one thousand eight hundred pounds of fine salt!"

Listening to Kari's words, Lynn nodded slightly.

That was almost the Salt Factory's production for twenty-eight days.

The price for linen cloth was indeed somewhat steep.

However, just as he had guessed.

The appearance of the Sea Siren in the Gibraltar Strait had caused the longships to be unable to enter for transporting goods.

How long has it been?

The price of fine salt has already begun to gradually rise!

After confirming the transaction with Kari, the villagers arranged by Kuisi behind Lynn began unloading.

The three hundred slaves were handed over by Lynn to Gavin and Wilbur.

Coincidentally, the pea fields required a lot of labor, so Kari brought these slaves to his territory.

It was like providing charcoal in the snow, a pillow when tired!

As for whether these slaves would show any rebellious tendencies or attempt to escape...

Lynn wasn't worried at all; Rose was there with over fifty soldiers to oversee them.

As long as they didn't wish for death, they surely wouldn't try to escape now.

The twenty thousand yards of linen cloth weighed approximately seventy thousand pounds!

To unload it would take a certain amount of time.

According to the normal production of a robe, about six yards of linen cloth would be needed!

That is to say.

This twenty thousand yards of linen cloth would be enough to make robes for four thousand villagers.

Kari, who was waiting nearby, occasionally eavesdropped on Lynn's instructions and orders.

Gradually, her face became filled with curiosity.

If it weren't for Grayson's introduction, she might never have known in her lifetime that there was a lord on this territory with fine salt!

The key was, this lord was so young.

His words and commands were never questioned or doubted by anyone.

Kari felt as if he were a general, passing down orders to soldiers.

Not only that.

Kari also noticed differences between this manor and other territories!

This territory was actually protected by city walls.

Countless red brick houses were just residences for the villagers!

The sky gradually turned dark and somber.

The linen cloth on the carriage had all been unloaded.

It took nearly two hours just for the unloading.

After which, more than twenty thousand pounds of fine salt would need to be loaded onto it...

That, too, would take time.

On the open ground in front of the village, the chefs who had prepared dinner had already placed the food on the tables and were setting up bonfires.

The bonfire seemed meant as both light and a celebration for the villagers returning after a hard day's work.

Even Lynn had forgotten when this bonfire ritual began...

Lynn sat on a long wooden bench, his gaze shifting to the not-so-distant Kari.

After speaking a few words to Kuisi, Kuisi responded and walked forward.

Being a merchant from the Brown Clan, her vigilance far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Shortly after.

Kuisi brought Kari over to Lynn.

Looking at the somewhat weary Kari, Lynn spoke, "Sit and rest for a while. It will take some time to finish loading."

Kari looked at Lynn with some surprise.

From Lynn's earlier demeanor, he hadn't shown the slightest interest in her.

But now, Lynn was actually inviting him over.

Kari hesitated for a few seconds, then finally sat down beside him.

Kuisi, being sensible, poured Kari a glass of beer.

Kari, inhaling the aroma wafting from the cup of pale yellow beer, couldn't help but swallow hard.

She knew there were hops added to the beer.

Lynn said with a calm smile, "Don't worry, it's not poisoned."

Kari's brow slightly raised.

The Lynn before her seemed to read her inner thoughts!

However.

As Lynn said, if he wanted to keep her on his land.

With just the dozen guards and coachmen she brought, she wouldn't be able to leave.

Kari didn't say another word, and took a gulp of the beer.

Forget about elegant postures, appropriate attire, table manners...

They were merchants who roamed far and wide, naturally not bound by trivial formalities.

Not long after night fell.

Teams of villagers began returning to the village from their various workstations.
