Zhou Bai hurried back as fast as she could. Fortunately, she wasn't too far away. In the afternoon, she returned to the territory.
When the soldiers guarding the gate looked at Zhou Bai, they were all shocked.
"Village chief, why are you back so early today?" One of them couldn't help but ask.
After all, Zhou Bai always came back after dark, and everyone had a rough idea of the time she would come back. How could they not be surprised when she came back suddenly!
"Something happened in the territory." Zhou Bai said simply, looking somewhat helpless.
Even if she's fine, isn't it normal for her to come back early and rest?
Abnormal! If others knew what Zhou Bai was thinking, they would definitely give her a negative answer.
If one day the King of Rolls stops rolling, there must be something wrong.
"Then how did you know?" the soldier asked subconsciously. Wouldn't he not be able to receive notifications after leaving the territory?
Zhou Bai raised her head, revealing the magic pigeon in her palm. At this moment, the magic pigeon looked particularly well-behaved in Zhou Bai's hand.
...
...
The little black dove is particularly cute when placed in the palm of your hand.
The soldiers were instantly captivated by this cute little creature.
"Is this a magic... pigeon?" They had long been accustomed to the fact that the magical beasts in this world were related to the names of some animals in their original world, so they asked directly.
"right."
"When did we start raising these magic pigeons in our territory? We've never heard of them before." The soldiers said in surprise.
In fact, there are also many flying monsters in Hope Village now.
The Golden Roc, the Magic Eagle, the Magic Condor... each one is bigger than the other and can hold not only objects but also people.
But because it is so large, it is very expensive to keep one, and there is no need for it at present, so only a very small number of people have one.
However, the size of this demon pigeon was obviously different from that in their original world, and it had become smaller.
This is the dream love pigeon in this world!
“I don’t know either.
She thought about it on the way back and had some guesses in her mind.
If we talk about the changes in the territory in the past two days, the only thing is the new beast tamer NPC summoned by the territory.
"Okay, then you go and get busy!" The soldier came to his senses instantly. Since he called the person back halfway, there must be something wrong.
"Yeah." After responding, Zhou Bai went to the lord's mansion.
At this time, after entering the Hope Village, the magic pigeon seemed to sense a familiar breath and began to recover blood on the spot, gently pecking Zhou Bai's hand.
Zhou Bai understood, and then stretched his hand into the air.
Seeing this, the little devil pigeon took off directly from Zhou Bai's hand, and then disappeared in a flash. However, based on the shadow just seen, it was obviously heading to the north of the territory.
It turns out to be the result of the newly invited NPC!
What an efficient system!
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai took the beast cart directly to the lord's mansion.
Bayer was already waiting for her in his office.
Zhou Bai knocked on the door and walked in after Bayer looked up.
After closing the door, Zhou Bai asked directly: "What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Bayer directly informed Zhou Bai about the events in Benguela Town, and mentioned in passing the activities of Zhong Yongnian and his team near Benguela Town.
After hearing this, Zhou Bai fell silent.
From my perspective, this is the charm and strength of my territory!
If we look at it from the other side's perspective, Hope Village's behavior can be said to be sucking their blood to promote its own growth.
but……
"Isn't it said that the strong are respected on the Stan continent? Everything is determined by strength. Those residents chose Hope Village over Benguela Town, which may not be a bad choice. The other party has no right to blame us! As for Qian Yongnian and his men's actions, we also considered it when we encountered Benguela Town. Their professionals will rob our resources in order to reduce risks. We have made corresponding preparations, and vice versa." Zhou Bai said bluntly.
In this magical world, why should she hold herself to the moral standards she had on Blue Star?
"Because of the reminder from Viscount Lancelot of Glasgow Village, Viscount Robin, the lord of Barnes Village, is organizing forces from surrounding territories to target Hope Village. I am worried that the town of Benguela will not come forward, but instead support Barnes Village from behind and let them take the lead." Bayer told the story of Barnes Village.
"So what? In terms of economy, Banes Village can't sanction us. In terms of military strength, we have repelled Fasal Village, and our strength has risen to a new level recently. No matter which aspect, Banes Village can't deal with us, even with Benguela Town, unless Benguela Town raids us like the leopard orcs in a non-territorial war. But even if it is a raid, given the current situation of Hope Village, we are not afraid of them." Zhou Bai analyzed rationally, "I think that the visit of the lord of Benguela Town is not necessarily malicious. If it is malicious, they can completely deal with Zhong Yongnian and his men to give Hope Village a warning. In other words, even if there is malicious intent, they did not target Zhong Yongnian, which shows that he is a principled person and does not vent his anger on others. Facing such an enemy, it is much better than the one in Fasal Village."
As Hope Village has developed to this point, Zhou Bai has continued to grow. The gold coins and various resources in her account have really given her a lot of confidence.
Facing a strong enemy, she was no longer as fearful and anxious as before.
She has now learned to analyze specific issues specifically.
"Besides, we hope the village has a backer! Loviisa City!" Seeing Bayer thinking, Zhou Bai threw out another sentence.
This one is the biggest hungry wolf.
Before the other party "swallows" them, they will not let other forces easily touch Hope Village.
After hearing this, Bayer smiled helplessly.
Sure enough, it was pretty much what he thought.
"So, Lord, are you going to do the same as before? Ignore it?" Bayer followed closely.
"It depends on whether the other party will reveal their identity. If they do, I still have to deal with it. After all, they are close neighbors. If they don't, I will pretend that I don't know." Zhou Bai said directly, "I hope the other party will not reveal their identity and take a good look at Hope Village. So that they can understand that the existence of Hope Village is more of a win-win cooperation for the surrounding territories than plunder!"
The small town of Benguela is the capital of craftsmen, and the Village of Hope can be said to be the capital of food and commodities. There will be no conflict between the two in the most fundamental interests.
As for the issue of population inflow and outflow, it is the personal choice of the residents!
And considering the current popularity of the town of Benguela, this population loss is nothing.
She thought that what the other party might be more concerned about was whether the existence of Hope Village would affect the other party's path to dominating this area.
That's all she could say sorry for.
She will not back down in the development of her territory.
No matter what move the opponent makes, she will respond accordingly.
In a word, it depends on your ability.
"It seems that it was unnecessary for me to ask you, Lord, to come back." Bayer looked at Zhou Bai's clear and organized speech and said nothing more.
As for the development of Hope Village, we just need to listen to the Lord alone.
"Not really. At least I have a good idea in mind and have prepared myself mentally in advance. I can react quickly when the situation arises." Zhou Bai shook his head in denial. However, thinking of the magic pigeon that sent him the message, Zhou Bai continued to ask, "Is the magic pigeon domesticated by Mario and his friends?"
Zhou Bai's topic jumped so fast that Bayer didn't react. When he reacted, he nodded and said, "It was tamed by Mario. I found it when I went to the breeding farm. I saw a summoner in Zhong Yongnian's team using his own flying beast, the Magic Eagle, to send a message. I wanted to go to the breeding farm to see if there was a suitable flying beast that could send a message to you. I didn't expect to find it right away."
"Then he's really good at it." Even though Zhou Bai had guessed it beforehand, he was still surprised.
Because this proves that as Hope Village develops, it will continue to move closer to the native territory and become a qualified magical city.
Perhaps the future development of some aspects of Hope Village does not necessarily have to be based on magic, but it must be there.
"Except for Mario, the other two also have their own skills! Jax is good at training war horses, and Cassie is good at affinity training between various monsters and humans." At that time, Bayer also learned about the skills of the other two trainers from Mario.
Facts have proved that the existence of Valhalla is still very reliable and is urgently needed by the territory. Of course, the lord is also very lucky.
"Are they used to staying in Hope Village?" Zhou Bai asked quickly.
These are the backbone of the future territory!
Can’t be less!
"Habits. They all like Hope Village very much!" Bayer did not hesitate at all about this.
Hope Village is a place where residents can feel happy and warm.
"Anyway, we have to give preferential treatment to talents." As he spoke, Zhou Bai thought of the recruitment at the mission center and asked about it.
"At present, Hope Village is just a village, and the talents it can attract are still limited. Some of them have empty titles but no skills at all, and they can't even pass the exams." Bayer responded, "We still have to take it slow!"
Originally, there was a lack or even no such personnel as architects, doctors, animal trainers, pharmacists, and magic scroll makers.
But after the special buildings were upgraded, the gap was immediately filled.
Therefore, when it comes to talent, we should rather have none than have the wrong ones.
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded in approval.
Anyway, the next period is for Hope Village to accumulate strength and lay a solid foundation, so there is no need to rush!
Then, the two continued to talk about some affairs in the territory.
While the two were negotiating, Viscount Olcott had already led his team into the territory of Hope Village.
At this time, it was already evening, and it was also the busiest time at the gate of Xiwang Village.
When Viscount Olcott arrived, he was surprised by the queue in front of the city gate.
The "prosperity" of Hope Village was a little beyond his expectations!
