As an earl, Olcott has traveled to many territories and gained a lot of experience, so he has a deeper understanding of the territories.
After getting a general understanding of the situation in Hope Village, he already had a solid image of it in his mind.
After all, no matter how a territory develops, no matter how well it develops, there is a certain limit.
But Hope Village seems a little different.
Is this really the newly upgraded level 3 village?
He saw that it was comparable to an average level 1 town.
The most important thing is, he has only established it for more than two months. To achieve this level in such a short time is really a bit... outrageous.
Even Earl Olcott was so surprised, let alone the soldiers who were accompanying him. They couldn't help but whisper to the people around them.
"Didn't you say more than two months?"
"Yes, just over two months."
...
...
"Isn't this development speed too...fast?"
"It's very fast. Not only is it short in time, but it's also more prosperous than an average level 3 village. I wonder what it's like inside?"
"It will definitely be good! If these people are here to buy goods, Hope Village will make a lot of money every day."
"My family knew I was coming to Hope Village, and they had already made a list of things to buy for me, saying it would be much cheaper than buying in Benguela town."
“…”
The group's conversation was already very low, but it still faintly reached Earl Olcott's ears.
In fact, the soldiers escorted this time included those who had gone out with him before and those who were re-assigned.
From their simple conversation, we can tell that when he was away, the trade between Hope Village and Benguela Town had probably already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
He came back a little late.
But even he himself never thought that his "home" would be robbed just because he went out for fun.
"My Lord Earl, do you need to reveal your identity and take a special passage?" Murtagh asked at this time. He was obviously more concerned about the time it would take them to enter the city.
Judging from the way the queue is arranged, it will take quite a while to get into the city.
The Earl has never suffered such "hardship" before.
Earl Olcott was listening and was about to say something when he saw Marvin's hesitant look.
He raised his eyebrows directly. Marvin had this expression on his face quite a few times today, and every time it appeared, he would say something that was difficult to say!
Is there something to say about the special passage in Hope Village?
"Just say whatever you want to say! Now that we are here, there is no need to hide it anymore." Earl Olcott said directly to Marvin.
He has always been a person with a relatively calm and stable mood, and he is really not that easily affected.
"Hope Village has a special situation. The nobles here don't have many privileges." Marvin said, "So it's unlikely that our team will be able to cut in line."
Count Olcott didn't say anything, but Murtagh on the side couldn't help but frowned, "How can this be possible?"
"All the nobles who came here before were like this, and Hope Village is no exception. Last time, the Marquis of Lovisa City wanted the soldiers of Hope Village to kneel down to greet him, but he refused. In fact, the residents of Hope Village are quite... selfish." Marvin said helplessly.
He really could not forget the scene where a group of residents mocked the Marquis!
Perhaps under normal circumstances, only a few people will be affected by the general environment.
But what about Hope Village? Most people are influenced by a few people in Hope Village, and their entire worldview will follow the rules of the other party.
Many people who come to Hope Village are not used to it, but once they get used to it, they can never go back to the way it was before.
Marvin felt that after being between the two places for a long time, he seemed to have been tempered a little.
Although I am still afraid of the Earl, I am not as nervous as before.
He felt that he was quite relaxed in front of the Earl today, and it seemed that he gave a good explanation.
They gave them a different perspective on the world.
This is probably why so many people flock to Hope Village!
Marvin won’t talk about this point. Anyway, the Earl can feel it as long as he enters the territory.
It seems that most nobles are not used to it.
Murtagh: “…”
Compared to Murtagh's speechless response, Count Olcott was obviously quite interested in this phenomenon. He waved his hand and said, "No need. Let's just queue up to enter! It's a good opportunity to experience it."
Since you are planning to observe Hope Village, it would be best to hide your identity.
As a nobleman, he enjoyed life but did not indulge in it.
He can still endure this little bit of "bitterness".
"Yes." Murtagh nodded.
Ma Wen didn't say much.
Just like that, the entire team was at the back of a long line.
However, even though Earl Olcott had concealed his identity, the soldiers in the watchtower who had received the observation order from above focused their attention on this team.
After all, there were hundreds of people in the team, each riding a horse, and there were two beast carts, one of which was ridiculously large, like a motorhome, which showed that their background was particularly different.
Who else but him?
Immediately, the news of the discovery of the suspected target was sent back.
After Zhou Bai and Bayer received the message, seeing that the system did not notify them, Zhou Bai knew that the other party had really hidden his identity.
"Since your identity has been hidden, let's just pretend we don't know!" Zhou Bai said directly, and then prepared to go off work.
I came back early today and went to have dinner with her mother.
Dad is out on a mission, and mom is left alone at home, so she still has to spend more time with her.
I don’t know whether their mission is going smoothly.
"Yeah." Bayer nodded without revealing his identity directly. Just as the lord said, it was highly likely that he was not here to cause trouble, but it was still worth keeping an eye on.
Soon after Zhou Bai got off work, the staff of the Lord's Mansion also gradually left work.
After all, after dark, we need to rely on torches for lighting, but the brightness is too low and work is not efficient, so naturally we work during the day and rest at night.
Just like that, as it got darker, more people were seen walking on the streets in the territory.
It was only after it was completely dark that Earl Olcott and his party successfully entered the city.
The moment they entered the city, they saw the lights of thousands of houses on both sides of the road and the surging crowds of people in the entire territory.
At this moment, they all had a slight illusion.
Hope Village seems to be more lively than the town of Benguela.
At least in the small town of Benguela, there aren't so many people concentrated in one block, so they have this sense of disparity.
Olcott got off the animal cart and looked at the people on the road and on both sides, his expression paused slightly.
Because I had been waiting in line for a long time, I had some idea of how lively the village would be. But I didn't expect that there would be something else after entering.
Hope Village is really willing to spend money on the roads!
Such a big road really provides a wide view.
Everything you see is in sight.
At this moment, Earl Olcott saw some shadows of the "city" in Hope Village.
As far as he could remember, only when the territory reached the level of a city would such large roads be opened up in some important locations.
Hope Village, has been aiming to become a "city" since the establishment of the territory?
It is indeed different from ordinary territories!
The next moment, looking at the stunned Murta and others, he said directly: "Murta, follow me, and the others should go and settle down first. After settling down, you can move freely."
Now that he was here, he planned to take a good walk and have a look.
