Chapter 376: Chapter 216: Accepting Their Existence_2

Hope Village had already begun to earn a reputation in these territories, and soon, the Lords of these territories would likely take notice of Hope Village, a time when it could surely welcome new opportunities and challenges.

He also planned to look for any profitable venues within.

Therefore, he did not return with his team; he wanted to understand Hope Village more by observing, to comprehend why this territory had so many innovations, and how they formed such a plethora of creative ideas.

"Captain, the Hope Village Chief has returned with the soldier team," said a team member who had just hurried in, "Do you know what they went to do? They actually went to bring back a group of goblins." The team member reported the situation hastily as the Captain had asked them to monitor.

"Goblins? Could it be that Hope Village’s next plan is to search for minerals? Indeed, if Hope Village were to upgrade next, the iron ore wouldn’t be enough," Wendell speculated, "Where did they buy the goblins from?"

Such a large number of goblins, trading wasn’t that easy; could there be some hidden backing behind Hope Village?

"They weren’t bought; it seems they were picked up from a desolate wilderness, probably persuaded by those two Undead Goblins who were already at Hope Village, without spending a penny," the team member said, his expression somewhat strange, "Therefore, these goblins in Hope Village are not slaves, but... residents! Not to mention the Undead and the Beastmen, now they have added goblins; the ideology of Hope Village is indeed open!"

Although many great territories in the Human Clan Kingdom have seen the presence of other Races, few actually accommodate other Races as residents.

"They are not of our kind, and their minds are different."

The larger the territory, the more fearful it is.

After all, there were territories that had suffered losses before.

But now, such a small territory as Hope Village dared to do so.

Most importantly, so far, it has integrated quite well.

The Undead and Beastmen worked wholeheartedly for Hope Village, and now with the addition of the Goblin Clan, based on how Hope Village treated them, they were likely devoted as well.

It really was quite rare.

Wendell, after listening, paused, "Residents?"

"Yes, and not just those they brought back. When other territories’ merchant teams sensed the business opportunity and brought goblins to sell, the Hope Village Chief also bought these goblins and made them residents. They have already been settled in the goblin community. Oh right, the goblin community is divided into different small areas just like the residential area, inhabited by goblins now living together with the Undead and Beastmen," the team member continued to explain the situation, his expression incredulous.

Wendell, looking thoughtful, said after a moment, "There must be something about the goblins that Hope Village covets, perhaps minerals! Keep a closer watch on these goblins to see if we can gain some advantages from this situation beforehand?"

"Yes." The team member nodded, always finding his captain quite insightful, and mostly correct. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "If it really is because of the minerals, would Hope Village still treat the goblins the same after obtaining them?"

"That’s up to Hope Village itself," Wendell responded calmly.

From the standpoint of an observer, he felt that Hope Village was still too idealistic.

After all, Hope Village would have to face countless other territories in the future; would they allow Hope Village to create this "utopia"?

Whether it could persist or would change was still an unknown! It was too early to tell.

He certainly didn’t believe that Hope Village would still uphold the Goblin Clan under circumstances that involved their own interests.

We shall see!

"So how should we treat the goblins..."

"Treat them normally; after all, making money where possible is always good, just pay a bit more attention to them, maybe through them we can understand some of Hope Village’s purposes," Wendell instructed, his expression cool.

"Yes."

Right next to the Magic Equipment Store, in the Potion Shop, Maria and her group also discussed this matter.

Unlike Wendell’s thoughts, Maria’s group leaned more towards trust.

"Maybe Hope Village can accommodate so many Races because it has always adhered to a principle of fairness from top to bottom! Being fair to all residents, regardless of whether they are of the same Race, perhaps that’s what adds an extra charm to Hope Village that other territories lack!" Maria commended after hearing the process, her whole being radiant with confidence.

During her days in Hope Village, her eyes sparkled with a brilliance she had never had before.

"Yes! Hope Village is the territory I’ve seen that treats ordinary residents the best," Helson couldn’t help but agree, "I just didn’t expect that they would also be so favorable to the Goblin Clan; this place must certainly be a special existence for the Goblin Clan."

"If they can treat the Goblin Clan like this, they’ll certainly do even better with us Humans. For now, following in the footsteps of Hope Village is definitely the right path," Maria felt, having noticed the advantages during her time in Hope Village, and for now, she still supported all the policies of Hope Village.

"So, should we treat the goblins the same as other residents?" Helson asked.

"Yes, if they come to our store, let’s treat them kindly! Helping to gather more support for the territory is also good," Maria decisively stated.

Helson nodded.

Thus, even though they harbored different thoughts about the arrival of the goblins, in facing how Hope Village favored the goblins, everyone unanimously chose to follow the principles of Hope Village, and took the commitment to treat the goblins well to heart.

Sometimes, shifts in thoughts happen gradually through these small matters, until they become deeply ingrained in their minds.
