Bayer on the side was also speechless.

Even though he was mentally prepared that Marquis Boyle came for the school, he did not expect that the other party had such plans.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Zhou Bai worriedly.

How should the Lord respond?

After Zhou Bai got angry, his thoughts gradually calmed down.

She knew very well that it was useless for her to be angry.

To a certain extent, the other party was really using this incident to control her.

She now has only two choices.

One is to accept.

The second is to refuse.

...

...

What are the consequences of accepting and what are the consequences of refusing.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.

She could only try to choose an option that would be less harmful to Hope Village.

Even more, it depends on whether there is any benefit to be gained from it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai looked at Marquis Boyle and asked directly: "Then what benefits can our territory get?"

When Marquis Boyle heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hope Village is not qualified to establish a college. I accept your students to help you. How can you ask for benefits!"

"Then I think there should be many territories willing to help our territory, and we don't lack the city of Lovisa." Zhou Bai said lightly.

Not only does he want to get something for nothing, but he also wants to occupy the moral high ground. You’re dreaming!

She also thought of it suddenly.

If you want to send outstanding graduates to colleges in other territories, why not make friends with a few more colleges?

Anyway, it is for others to use as a wedding dress, why should it be given to the city of Loviisa?

Of course, this is the choice made by the other party under their tough stance.

Marquis Boyle looked at Zhou Bai's flickering eyes and paused slightly.

The chief of Hope Village is quite quick-witted. No wonder he was able to make Fasal Village suffer a great loss.

Marquis Boyle asked, "What do you want?"

When he said this, Theodore and Carlisle beside him were a little surprised.

Because this means that their Marquis (father) has backed down on this matter, which is really rare!

Zhou Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that Marquis Boyle's measures against Hope Village were not as tough as imagined. Although it might be because he had a backup plan, it was still better to deal with one city of Lovisa than multiple territories. He could even use Lovisa as a shield when faced with pressure from other territories.

Zhou Bai made a plan in his mind and then put forward his request, "I want assistance that can improve the strength of the territory, such as magic circles for the city walls, or large defensive and offensive weapons for defending the city. The requirements are not high, just the ones eliminated from the Marquis's territory will do. The Marquis should not be short of these things, right?"

"Can you make this decision on behalf of the lord?" Marquis Boyle looked at Zhou Bai with interest. He really dared to ask that!

Zhou Bai nodded naturally, "I have received the territory order. In the absence of territory orders, I hope that all affairs of the village will be under my full responsibility."

"Okay, I'll give you a batch of weapons you want, and you can ask the city of Lovisa for help in the future." Marquis Boyle promised.

"Okay, I also promise that without interfering with the autonomous operation of Hope Village, outstanding students graduating from the school will be sent to Lovisa City for further studies." Zhou Bai also said directly, "If necessary, we will sign a contract."

Marquis Boyle's eyes moved slightly as he listened to Zhou Bai's words.

Hope Village is clearly planning to sign an "equality" contract.

Equality!

The current Hope Village does have this qualification.

However, let's see if he still has the confidence in the future!

With a slight nod, Lord Boyle agreed.

At this moment, Zhou Bai, as the initiator of the contract, began to draft the contract.

After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, they left the name of their territory on it.

The moment it stayed, the contract began to glow, which meant that the contract was established.

At the moment of establishment, Marquis Boyle stood up and said, "It's settled. I hope to hear relevant news in Hope Village after I leave."

Zhou Bai: "...Okay."

After receiving Zhou Bai's response, Marquis Boyle left, even though he sensed a hint of reluctance.

Lord Boyle left, and Theodore and Carlisle followed him.

They didn't expect that the contract would be signed like this.

Although it came at a small cost, it was a good thing for the city of Loviisa.

As long as the news is announced, Hope Village will be in the same boat with the city of Loviisa to a certain extent. Even if it is not, others will think it is.

No matter how Hope Village develops in the future, the label of Loviisa City will be inseparable.

Unless...Hope Village is stronger than Loviisa City.

But is this possible?

Impossible!

As soon as the three of them left, Bayer looked at Zhou Bai anxiously, "Why did you agree?"

Zhou Bai sighed, "Can I refuse? If I can't, I have no choice but to do this."

"Hope Village will be labeled as Loviisa City, and if your previous guess is correct, in order to prevent you from getting out of control, Loviisa City will not let Hope Village grow. In fact, it will even pick peaches while Hope Village is growing, just like... fleecing wool." Bayer thought about the words of some residents of Hope Village and described it vividly.

"I know." Zhou Bai nodded, "But it's not that easy for the other party to fleece us again and again. Since we can defeat Fasar Village,

She knew very well that she was walking on a tightrope, but there was nothing she could do because she was weak!

Bayer sighed, "Yes! The Lord has no choice."

For now, it is the best option.

"What about the school...what are your plans, Lord?" Bayer continued to ask.

Yes, he knew his lord. He really didn't think that his lord would be willing to train talents for other territories. There must be a back-up plan, right?

Zhou Bai nodded when he heard what Bayer said, "Well, I do have a plan. I plan to add another course in school, an ideological education course!"

No matter what, we have to cultivate students' sense of belonging to Hope Village.

Students can go to Loviisa to study, but after graduation, it is up to the students to choose whether to stay in Hope Village or in Loviisa.

Moreover, a few years is enough time for Hope Village to work hard and grow.

Ideological education class???

Bayer tried hard to dig out relevant information in his mind, and finally dug out what he wanted from the depths of his mind.

He instantly understood his lord's plan to win over the people's hearts.

Other territories might not be able to do this, but residents like you, the Lord, can certainly do it.

Those residents have the most devious ideas.

Speaking of the current situation, if we look at it from a positive perspective, Hope Village now has a "backer".

The city of Lovisa is considered to be among the top cities in the human kingdom.

For the time being, the city of Loviisa is taking the lead. They hope that the village can also take this opportunity to... develop rapidly?

Is this what you think, sir?
