"Brook, why are you back?"
"You've been in Hope Village for a long time."
"You are me
"Where are your wife and children? Where are they? Didn't they come back with you?"
"How is Hope Village?"
"It must be bad, otherwise he wouldn't have come back."
"Can't they just come back to take a look?"
“…”
As soon as Brooke showed up in the residential area, he instantly became the focus of residents' attention.
In fact, Brooke was one of the first residents to leave Barnes Village, and many people at that time admired his decisiveness.
...
...
However, most people still understand his choice.
If you offend someone and don't leave, once something happens to him, your family will be destroyed.
But later on, no one expected that the existence of Hope Village would become the "dreamland" for many people in Barnes Village.
Now they are very enthusiastic about Brooke.
After all, I still hope to hear more news about Hope Village from him.
The Hope Village is now considered a taboo in Barnes Village, and everyone talks about it in private.
Brooke didn't expect these people to be so enthusiastic about him.
Oh no, or rather, they are curious about the existence of Hope Village.
Facing their fiery gazes, Brooke sorted out his words and spoke, "I'm staying well in Hope Village. I have no plans to return to Barnes Village. I came back just to tell you some news."
As he spoke, Brooke's expression was solemn, and he glanced at the crowd of onlookers, making sure that these were all familiar faces.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's heart began to rise following Brook's expression. They felt that something was wrong, and someone started asking anxiously on the spot.
"What news?"
Brooke lowered his voice and said, "Some territories are preparing to launch a strong attack on Barnes Village in this territorial war. If you don't want to become pioneers or slaves, you'd better find a way to leave Barnes Village!"
The onlookers' faces suddenly changed when they heard this.
"A territory is going to attack Barnes Village? Which territory is it?"
"when?"
"It's not that easy to leave Barnes Village. I'm afraid we'll be eaten by monsters before we get far."
"You speak so confidently, do you know this territory? Is it Hope Village?"
“…”
Some people panic, some people think, some people question...
All of a sudden, all kinds of eyes were directed at Brooke.
Their reaction was within Brooke's expectations.
After waiting for the surrounding residents to say everything they needed to say, Brooke continued, "Our territory just experienced a territorial war not long ago, and the war exemption period has not yet ended! How could they attack Barnes Village? But I did hear the news from Hope Village."
"So Hope Village is planning to unite with a territory to deal with us?" a resident asked sharply.
Brooke: “…Yes.”
"You also hope that the village will send someone to persuade us?"
When this question was asked, everyone's attention was once again focused on Brooke.
Brooke nodded. "I guess so! Hope Village hopes to poach some people from Barnes Village, making Barnes Village weaker and easier to deal with. Their main targets are professionals from various professions. I got back by mixing with their team. After all, you are all ordinary residents, and I don't want to see you sacrifice in vain."
Brooke's words moved the people around him a little, but most of them were still indifferent.
What was moving was that what Brook said was the truth. Ordinary residents like them were worthless in most territories. If the territory was conquered, they would most likely become spoils of other territories and would no longer have any personal freedom.
The cold thing is that they have no relationship with Brooke. Even if he had some dealings with them when he was in Barnes Village, they don't believe that he would return to Barnes Village to save them. He must have a purpose.
Brooke looked at their expressions, paused, and then continued: "Of course, I came back to tell you the news not simply because I wanted to save you, but for a purpose. Hope Village is still short of people. If I can bring you back, not only can I save you, but I can also get certain rewards from the territory. These rewards are good for me. It's killing two birds with one stone. Naturally, I am willing to come back and take the risk."
After these words came out, everyone's expressions eased a little.
If there is benefit involved, it is understandable that the other party does this.
"If we leave with you, can you guarantee our safety?" someone in the crowd asked first.
Brooke glanced towards him and recognized him.
This man is Finn, a 15-year-old boy and an old resident of this area. After his parents died, he became an orphan and was raised by the neighbors around him.
Although he is just an ordinary person now, everyone believes that he has the potential to become a professional.
Before, he went out early and came back late, and had little contact with the other party, but now that he had contact with him, he found that during the whole process, the other party's mind had been very clear and he was always able to ask the most direct questions in the shortest time.
But he also realized that Finn probably had some yearning for Hope Village, which was why he kept spying on it.
I think, as long as he is convinced, his actions will be much smoother.
After thinking about it, Brooke spoke sincerely, "Of course. My team did not follow me into Barnes Village. They are now waiting outside the territory of Barnes Village. As long as you walk out of the territory, someone will come to pick you up and escort you to Hope Village. Although I can't guarantee that you will be safe, the danger is still relatively small."
As everyone listened, their thoughts were already carried away by Brook, and many people began to consider the possibility of leaving.
The existence of Hope Village is often discussed among them, and they have heard many teams coming to Barnes Village mention the beauty of Hope Village, so they do have a little yearning for Hope Village.
Who doesn’t want to live a good life!
I hope that the life of ordinary residents in the village is the life they want.
However, after the lord of Barnes Village restricted all the major professionals from going out, ordinary people did not dare to leave the territory alone, so they gave up the plan.
But now, the opportunity appears before them again, will they seize it?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In other words, who will take the lead in making decisions?
At this time, Finn spoke again, "There are so many of us. If five or ten of us leave at a time, it won't attract much attention. But if we leave more than once, we might be discovered. So who will leave first and who will leave later? Will your team outside wait for us? How long will they wait? If your people pick up some people and leave, and the people who leave later are discovered, we will be caught in a dilemma. Who will be responsible for these people? We ordinary people have been abandoned, but we have no way out."
One question popped up after another, and he hit the nail on the head!
Everyone's fiery hearts cooled down again.
One is future life, the other is present life.
One has to take great risks and even sacrifice his life, the other may sacrifice his life and freedom.
Which is more important?
