As the personal guard captain of Bishop Simo from Kakasong District Church.

There are naturally many people who come to ask him for help.

But the vast majority rely on verbal promises.

Yet Master Lynn before him is different.

He hasn’t even stated what help he needs, and he starts with Fifteen Gold Pounds!

You must know.

Even the tithing for the half-month of July is only Fifteen Gold Pounds!

While Lynn was speaking to Samuel.

The guard who had left hurriedly for a few minutes returned to Lynn’s side.

And.

Under Samuel’s gaze, he delivered a leather money pouch in both hands to Lynn.

Lynn didn’t reach out to take it, but instead said, "Give it to Captain Samuel."

The guard heard this, stepped forward without any fuss, and stood before Samuel.

Looking at the bowed head, with the pouch delivered before him, Samuel slightly smiled.

He turned his body and looked at a Church Guard behind him.

The Church Guard immediately understood, came forward, took the leather money pouch from the guard, and began checking it.

A few seconds later.

The Church Guard said to Samuel, "Captain, the pouch contains Thirty Gold Pounds."

Samuel turned to look at the Church Guard and then turned to look at Lynn.

"Lord Master Lynn..."

Lynn directly interrupted Samuel’s words.

"Just call me Lynn."

Samuel slightly bowed his head, continuing respectfully: "So, Master Lynn, what do you want me to do for you?"

Hearing Samuel’s query, Lynn smiled contentedly.

Indeed.

Using Gold Pounds to pave the way is the best method for gathering intelligence!

Even standing before him as the personal guard captain of the Church Bishop.

This approach works just as well!

If Fifteen Gold Pounds isn’t enough, then Thirty Gold Pounds!

If Thirty Gold Pounds isn’t enough, then Sixty Gold Pounds, One Hundred Gold Pounds!

As the amount increases, it will surely move the opponent and achieve the ultimate goal.

That’s why every time Gasper returns to the territory to report intelligence to him.

He asks Gasper to go to Kuisi to collect the Gold Pounds.

Lynn leaned back a bit, comfortably resting against the bench back.

"I need to know everything about Viscount Jon Zack of Kakasong City!"

Samuel’s brows slightly furrowed: "Everything?"

Before Samuel could speak, Lynn continued.

"Captain Samuel, you don’t need to be in a hurry to refuse or be nervous."

"Just tell me all the information you know."

"Of course, if you’re willing to continuously gather intelligence for me in Kakasong City, become my collector, transmitting intelligence promptly..."

"I can give you, Captain Samuel, every month... Thirty Gold Pounds! As a token of appreciation!"

Hearing the doubled amount of Gold Pounds, Samuel’s brows couldn’t help but raise again.

Just by becoming Lynn’s intelligence collector, you can earn Thirty Gold Pounds monthly?

Samuel glanced at Lynn still sitting on the bench.

On that handsome young face, rendered in wheat color, a faint smile played at the corner of his mouth.

Warm, stable.

He exudes an indisputable aura only a superior possesses.

Samuel didn’t think much, bowed his head slightly.

"Just as Master Lynn said."

"Samuel is willing to become your intelligence collector."

Lynn gave Samuel an approving glance.

Compared to those who need to constantly ponder.

He prefers Samuel’s decisiveness and boldness.

The decision to agree or refuse, all made in an instant.

Seeing Lynn remain silent.

Samuel bowed his head again and began to narrate.

"Master Lynn, Viscount Jon Zack’s title is inherited."

"The Viscount of the Zack Clan was bestowed by Marquis Duca."

After Samuel finished his words, Lynn spoke directly.

"Marquis Duca’s bestowment?"

Samuel explained, "Yes! It was the former Dukes of Marquis Duca!"

"When I first learned about this, I was just as surprised as you, Master Lynn."

"Even though Duca, as a Marquis, is a Great Lord."

"But affairs of bestowing a Viscount are usually a power held only by the Emperor of the Empire."

Lynn nodded.

Samuel continued: "That’s because the former Zack Clan leader had a life-saving grace towards the Ducas Clan leader!"

"However, the specifics of the event can’t be investigated anymore."

Lynn slightly frowned.

If it weren’t for Samuel standing before him, he truly wouldn’t know.

That the Viscount in Kakasong City, which is so close to his territory, was bestowed by the Ducas Clan!

Is it to strengthen control over distant regions of the territory?

Or perhaps because the Zack Clan of Kakasong City is tightly loyal to the Ducas Clan?

Aside from this, Lynn couldn’t think of any other possible explanations.

Seeing Lynn silent, Samuel’s speech turned.

"There’s one thing you might care about, Master Lynn..."

Lynn replied, "Let’s hear it."

Samuel didn’t waste any words, narrating directly.

"You should have heard that the Ducas Clan recently summoned the vassals in their domain."

"Perhaps due to the prestige of the previous Marquis Duca, or maybe these vassals wish to show their loyalty to the new Marquis."

"This time, apart from some small manor lords from peripheral regions, many vassal Lords responded."
