System: Build My Own Territory

Two days later, early morning.

After breakfast, Lynn headed straight to the shipyard with Red.

For at least the foreseeable future, he would spend every day at the shipyard.

Upon Lynn's arrival at the shipyard.

Colin and a group of apprentices had already cleaned up the messy shipyard and were waiting.

Amidst the orderly shouts of greeting from Colin and the carpenter apprentices.

Lynn continued the teaching of the Noel Ship construction, starting with the production of the ship's bow and stern posts!

Similarly, he selected sturdy oak, and with an axe and iron saw, processed it into specific shapes.

The bow post is crafted with a forward tilt, which helps guide the ship through the waves and reduces resistance, increasing navigation efficiency.

The stern post, located at the aft, is closely connected to the keel, providing crucial support to the stern.

It balances the ship's weight and stresses, also maintaining the overall balance and stability of the structure.

Preventing the ship from falling apart during navigation.

Once the bow and stern posts were completed, the drying process of the oak keel was also finished.

With the assistance of several carpenter apprentices, the connection of the keel and the bow and stern posts began.

Next was the rib production.

Lynn again selected oak, starting to cut it into the needed lengths.

By applying heat, the oak planks are softened and bent into shapes consistent with the curvature of the ship's hull.

They are fixed with clamps and left to cool and set.

According to the small Noel Ship in Lynn's mind, measuring ten meters long and five meters wide.

Around thirty ribs are needed for the hull, not a large number.

While waiting for the ribs to cool and set.

Lynn led the carpenter apprentices to begin processing the planks.

The plank processing involved cutting the oak into boards and then using an iron planer to smooth the surface.

This process, the carpenter apprentices had done countless times before, becoming highly proficient.

Having them join in could further increase production efficiency.

As Lynn continued cutting oak boards, his "Production" skill experience continuously increased.

During the busy intervals, while catching his breath, Lynn thought and opened the "Heavenly Artifacts" panel.

"Production: Level 2 (409/500)" (+)

Lynn felt that once this small Noel Ship was completed, his "Production" experience would reach Level 3!

Although somewhat slow, as long as effort is put forth, results can be seen, and skill levels can be improved.

The construction of the Noel Ship was not something that could be achieved overnight.

As the carpenter apprentices processed the planks, Lynn called out to everyone.

"Everyone, that's it for today. You can stop working and head off to eat."

Upon hearing Master Lynn's instruction, the carpenter apprentices couldn't help but exclaim.

Experiences like this were not new to them.

But each time, an uncontrollable joy rose in their hearts.

It's worth knowing that other lords would wish their free people or peasants to work tirelessly without food or drink!

Under the grateful gazes of the carpenter apprentices, Lynn also left the shipyard.

Seeing the carpenter apprentices' loyalty nearly at a hundred percent.

Lynn felt a surge of satisfaction.

As night gradually descended, if he wanted the apprentices to continue working, they would have to light torches.

But the lighting capacity of torches was limited, as was the apprentices' work efficiency; it could even pose life hazards.

Rather than have them complain about working through the night, reducing loyalty.

It was better to let them stop working and eat before nightfall!

Not only could it increase loyalty, but it also allowed them enough time to build families and have children.

Passing by the red brick houses, Lynn and the others reached the front of the town.

Colin guided the apprentices into the dining hall.

Meanwhile, he sat on a bench at the Lord's Square, watching the townsmen returning from outside the town.

As time continued to pass.

It was already April.

The daily sunrise and sunset were no longer as they were in winter.

Days grew longer, and nights fell faster.

Moreover, the temperature had already risen.

Even in the early morning and evening, it reached around sixteen to seventeen degrees.

By midday, it went up to twenty-five or twenty-six degrees.

This meant.

He could adjust the working hours of the townsmen on the territory.

From winter's nine-to-five.

To a nine-to-six, eight-hour workday.

Amidst expressions of "Master Lynn" from townsmen who had finished dinner.

Lynn nodded and gestured before heading back towards the castle.

As he ate the dinner Kuisi prepared, he listened to her report on the day's events in the territory.

Placing the meat from knife and fork onto Lynn's plate, Kuisi spoke.

"Master, everything in the territory is proceeding normally, you don't have to worry."

"I've taken care of some small matters on your behalf."

Lynn nodded.

With Kuisi around, he indeed had little to worry about.

Half an hour later, after dinner, Lynn asked Kuisi to prepare hot water for the bath in his private room.

Lynn entered the study, sat at the walnut desk, picked up a quill pen, and continued drafting the territorial emblem 'Dragon'.

In the absence of wars, the territory's development was proceeding methodically.

Furthermore.

The townsmen's work was the same, day in and day out.

...

Under the night sky.

Roaring sounds echoed intermittently in the darkness.
