The mother in law gifts me a mountain for a new beginning - Chapter 14

Yes!” Lucy exclaimed while waving her fist. “ Let us fight ourselves! Rely on no one!”

”You should go to bed first,” Lynn said while patting her head.

”What about you?”

”I want to go to the study since I am not sleepy. I will meditate for a while there.”

”Well, I am sleepy. I will go ahead first, then.’

Lucy went to bed while Lynn went to the study. He sat down and began to meditate. He was getting the feel for magic, but Lynn got tired because he was focusing until late into the night. So, he went to his room to sleep. At six in the morning, Lynn woke up from his sleep. Since the days were filled with territorial construction and temporary stability, the system points raised a little every day. Today’s total was two hundred and sixty points.

Lynn went to evolve more warriors. When two hundred and fifty points were used, five half-wolves turned into class three soldiers. The legions strength was increasing again! After the evolution, Lynn sent five warriors to protect the women and children as they picked more mountain grapes, and to have them hunt along the way.

The cylinders were empty and needed to be filled to continue brewing. Lynn was not worried about the success of the wine sales as wine had always been a scarce product. Even if it was not sold out, he would not panic. The cost was very low, so the loss was small. As today’s work had been arranged, Lynn went back to the study and ate the first fire mushroom.

The time was ripe. With his improved sense of magic combined with the consumption of potions, the effect was at its best. The moment he ate the fire mushroom, Lunn could feel a stream of heat flowing through his body. His spirit became more focused. Yet the surge of power made his vision grow hazy and he lost focus of everything in his study for a while.

At the end of the day’s meditation, Lynn had yet to realize the magic in his body. Yet, that was normal. Even talented aristocrats who had plenty of resources often spent years of training before finding their threshold. Lynn’s talent was a little different. He had touched his threshold faster than anyone else before him. It was just that no one noticed this.

Of course, he did not worry. Five days in a row Lynn meditated and made progress. However, he was still unable to use his mana. Meanwhile, more system points were consumed, and Lynn managed to evolve three of the remaining sixteen werewolves. There were two more half-wolves who had reached rank four evolution. The fighting power of the Half Wolf Corps was amazing!

The only downside was that the numbers were still limited. There just was not enough food to feed them all. If the food problem was solved, Lynn would be able to grow the army. He had high hopes for the magic crop as the wheat was growing very well and was already a palm’s height.

The villagers of Fenglin Village were also reinforcing their houses, as Lynn had told them that the beast wave was coming. The wine had been brewed in a batch, but Lynn was in no hurry to sell them. He intended to ferment them at a low temperature for a few days to make a more fragrant alcohol. The price would be higher then.

There were two days left to go before Buno was expected to be back. If he did not arrive on time, Lynn would assume that something was wrong with the road and would send someone to find them. Lynn was not worried about Buno stealing the money, as the servants who followed Lynn away from the Kyle family were extremely loyal. He was worried about his life, however. Contrary to his worries, it turned out to be okay.

In the evening, several carriages suddenly appeared in the west. Buno was back! Lynn came out to greet him. Buno saw Lynn and quickly came down from the carriage. He saluted the young lord.

”I missed you, Lord Lynn,” he said. Lynn smiled at him.

”You just came back safely. Go, I will arrange a reception for you. Please, drink our wine!”　Buno swallowed his saliva, but he had business to get to first.

”Let me report the sales of wine to you.” Lynn told him to continue.

”The wine has been sold, including the casks. A total of eight gold and fifty silver coins are our revenue. We sold them to a caravan and made a deal to go to them whenever we had more wine. They said they would help sell it, and if the quality was better it would sell for more.”

Lynn was happy! A long term and stable sale through channels was the most important thing. The wine also sold at an ideal price! The casks even made a small profit. This was a great outcome.

“What about the procurement of goods?” Lynn asked, to which Buno took out a sheepskin.

”One thousand pounds of lamb that cost a gold coin, one thousand pounds of beef for a gold and twenty silver, two cows for a gold, and fifty chicken cubes for fifty silver,” He said.

“Two hundred pounds of sugar for eighteen silver, one thousand pounds of flour for forty silver, and thirty swords for five gold coins.”

Many materials were purchased! Lynn glanced around and found that there was not one part of the Maple Village carriage was empty. It was the caravan’s responsibility to deliver the goods. Food was a great supplement! Lynn was worried about a food and grass shortage, but it was temporarily solved! The Half Wolf Corps could continue to expand! It could grow to at least fifty fighters!

The livestock that was bought could also be raised up so that the Half-Wolf Corps could eat eggs and drink milk. The sugar was running out too, but it was replenished at the right time! Most importantly, the materials that were brewed out of the wine with little cost were also exchanged! Lynn was excited at the profits earned.

What excited Lynn even more was the purchase of weapons. Lynn went to the carriage that housed them and took a look. The quality of the swords were very good. Although not an enchanted high weapon, the forging process seemed decent enough. The sword’s blade was rion cyan with a handle made of black wrapped in coarse cloth. The sword was not sharp, but it was heavy. It was not meant for chopping, but instead used to smash. It was very suitable for a semi-beast warrior, who possessed incredible strength.

The swords were expensive, but the quality made the purchase worthwhile. Lynn let the warriors take up their arms, and they became very excited. They waved the swords around vigorously, causing a strong wind to kick up. They were too fierce! The semi-orc power was strong! With these big swords and a madman’s fighting style, the war force greatly increased with the new implementation.

The tension brought about by the incoming wave of beasts disappeared instantaneously! Lynn’s incredible self-confidence increased just by watching the big beasts heating up. This caused Lynn to sincerely hope that the nobles never send their troops. The Half Wolf Army was enough!
