When the two men made eye contact, Baron Barton simply looked away.

The chief of Hope Village also has a keen sense.

It was also during this brief conversation that Marquis Boyle's team had already walked out of Hope Village.

Finally left!

It has to be admitted that Zhou Bai was relieved when Marquis Boyle left.

Then, Zhou Bai said goodbye directly, "Please do as you please, everyone. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"What are you doing? Are you going out of the territory?" Viscount Keynes asked curiously.

"Well, I'll go out and kill some monsters to gain some experience points." Zhou Bai said frankly, "My level is too low. I hope I can become a mid-level professional soon."

In fact, she could tell that the nobles in front of her were all mid-level professionals, even though she didn't know their specific levels.

As for the Marquis Boyle and the Knight Carlisle, although they did not show it, they were both above the senior level.

...

...

"Are you alone?" Viscount Conrad asked in disbelief.

Although Zhou Bai is not a noble, he is the head of a village after all. He has to have some style, and it is not excessive for him to lead a team of soldiers.

Going out alone is too risky! You know, there are intermediate-level monsters around Hope Village.

"I'm more used to being alone, and I have something to save my life." Zhou Bai replied.

"In fact, it is very simple for you to become a mid-level professional. Just let someone help you gain experience points. Anyway, we rarely face danger directly." Viscount Conrad said bluntly.

This is also a common practice for many lords.

It just takes some time to digest the excess strength or magic in the body, but this is not a difficult task.

"I prefer the feeling of improving myself." Zhou Bai said after shaking his head.

"Village chief, you are really special. Maybe that's why your lord is so confident in handing over the territory to you." Keynes' tone contained a bit more admiration.

Professionals who improve themselves will be very powerful, especially those who have unlocked many skills, and can even challenge opponents of higher levels.

There are very few people in high positions who would take such risks.

But as long as they appear, they will become powerful ones after growing up.

"After all, there are so many talented people in the territory. If I want to keep my current position, I have to show some strength. I am not like you gentlemen who are worthy of the title and have no worries." Zhou Bai said, revealing a bit of envy for Viscount Conrad and his party.

I have to say that this attitude is quite applicable to Viscount Conrad and his men.

However, as smart as Viscount Keynes was, he was able to discover some "loopholes" in it.

Zhou Bai's behavior clearly shows that he is under pressure from within Hope Village. He wonders if he can use this incident to bribe the village chief and gain some benefits from it.

He doesn't need much. As long as he can get a little bit, he can definitely make a lot more.

A dark light flashed across the depths of his eyes, disappearing in a flash.

"Mr. Village Chief is already very capable, and everyone in the territory has a very good opinion of you." Viscount Keynes said.

When they learned about Hope Village, they also got a general understanding of some key figures in Hope Village.

Zhou Bai is the best among them.

Apart from anything else, Zhou Bai’s credibility is the best.

Although there are people who look down on her at the bottom, those who hold actual power obey her, and that's enough!

Zhou Bai couldn't help but glance at Keynes after hearing this.

If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

What is this nobleman planning?

Speaking of which, each and every one of them is not easy to deal with.

Oh, except for Viscount Conrad, this guy is a very honest person.

Thinking this in his heart, his expression paused, and he said helplessly: "I got it all through hard work, and also because of the trust that the lord has in me."

Keynes saw this scene, paused, felt more confident, and said nothing more.

As for the others, some of them also had some ideas in their minds.

Then, after chatting for a few more sentences, Zhou Bai took the initiative to say goodbye.

Watching Zhou Bai leave, Baron Barton spoke first, "Now that the Marquis has left, how about we each do what we want?"

"Okay." Viscount Keynes was the first to agree.

They all belonged to different territories, and just now they gathered together more like they were huddling together for warmth. Now that the people who were oppressing them were gone, they felt at ease in Hope Village, and naturally they didn't need to be together. It would also be easier for them to discuss business at the market, and they could also bargain.

Thinking of this, Patton and Chaplin left quickly one after another.

After they left, only Viscount Conrad and Viscount Keynes were left.

Seeing Viscount Keynes, Viscount Conrad also followed him out, but there was a little more emotion in his expression: "It seems that it is quite difficult to be the village chief of Hope Village! But he is quite hardworking. I am

Hearing what Viscount Conrad said, Viscount Keynes glanced at him with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Viscount Conrad met the other person's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "...Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you are quite right." Viscount Keynes coughed lightly and agreed.

Viscount Conrad: "..."

——I always feel that there is something strange about this statement.

Seeing Conrad's silence, Keynes silently looked away. He didn't bother with brainless people.

Then he started to think about when would be the best time to contact Zhou Bai without seeing other people.

Viscount Conrad looked at Viscount Keynes' attitude and reacted a little.

Humph, he is not so sensitive to some things, but that doesn’t mean he is stupid!

Viscount Keynes must be planning something.

When the time comes, he just needs to keep an eye on Viscount Keynes.

At this time, Zhou Bai, who was being missed, had already devoted himself to the battle outside.

She also knew that she was being targeted.

However, this kind of stare is good for the territory for now.

She just sat there waiting for the other party to come to her.

I just don't know.

Zhou Bai guessed

The moment he saw him, Zhou Bai took the initiative and asked, "You came to talk to me about Marquis Boyle?"
