Chapter 389: Chapter 223: Hope Village Became Famous

Bengala Town.

"Hope Village’s ranking has risen again! What have they done this time?"

"I just passed by there two days ago, didn’t notice anything special!"

"Could it be because of a victory in the Territory War?"

"Impossible, I had just asked about the timing before I left; they hadn’t even started their war."

"Since that’s the case, they must have discovered something remarkable again."

"The treasures of Hope Village really are endless! I really want to go check it out right away."

"Hehe, let’s go together when the time comes!"

"..."

As trade between Bengala Town and Hope Village grew more frequent, Hope Village had become a very familiar presence in the eyes of the residents of Bengala Town.

Particularly because they often could buy delicious food and cheap goods from Hope Village, which greatly improved the lives of the ordinary residents.

Of course, many ordinary residents of Bengala Town had followed teams to Hope Village, and some keen observers noted that most of those who went to Hope Village stayed there, and those who came back did so only to take their families and leave.

Under such circumstances, more and more residents of Bengala grew curious about Hope Village, and if not for knowing that Hope Village was about to face a dangerous Territory War, they certainly would have followed to see for themselves.

Now, with Hope Village being a hotspot and having risen so many ranks, it was certainly heating up even more.

Mayor Simmons of Bengala Town, hearing everyone’s discussions, especially some saying they wanted to go and see for themselves, couldn’t help but purse his lips into a straight line.

He then looked at Marvin, whom Wendell had sent back as a representative, "I hope your captain hasn’t decided not to return, has he?"

Just thinking about this issue made him angry; the mercenary team that had gone to Hope Village had come back with only one or two members. The rest had stayed in Hope Village and even went to pioneer markets for them.

Furthermore, quite a few ordinary residents had followed them and left as well.

Luckily, Bengala Town was the strongest territory in this region with a large inflow of population, so this minor loss could be ignored for the time being—otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain to Lord when he returned.

Of course, the rise of Hope Village was definitely something he needed to report to the Lord.

Generally speaking, the rise of one territory inevitably affected the surrounding territories.

The rise of Hope Village was already unknowingly affecting Bengala Town.

Especially what he knew about the "favorable treatment" for residents in Hope Village—such practices, in his view, were simply inconceivable.

And of course, they were indeed attractive.

Now he was just worried that Wendell, this fellow, might also have run off.

This was the "moneybag" he had single-handedly cultivated.

If he ran off, the loss would be immense!

Marvin, hearing this, quickly responded, "The captain has no such intention. He stayed in Hope Village to gather information for Bengala Town."

"Has he gathered any information? Also, why has Hope Village suddenly jumped so many levels this time?" Simmons’s demeanor noticeably improved as he continued to press for answers.

He hoped that the other party could provide more information before Lord’s return so that he had something to report!

Marvin hurriedly relayed everything Wendell had instructed him to say, especially that Hope Village had employed numerous goblins and even sheltered them. "Before we returned, Hope Village was employing goblins to build walls, planning to use a new building material called cement to reinforce the walls. We didn’t know if it was successful when we left, but if Hope Village suddenly rose in ranking, it must be because of this."

Hearing this, Simmons’s eyes lit up, and he immediately instructed, "Tell your captain to gather more information in Hope Village, especially about this cement."

If it truly could enhance the strength of the territory, it was certainly a treasure worth its weight in gold!

"Yes, but the captain still needs quite a bit of merchandise, and our shop’s restocking speed can’t keep up."

"Just give me the list of what’s needed, and I’ll arrange it, as for the payment, usual rules," said Simmons with a sideways glance, speaking directly.

"Of course." Marvin nodded in agreement, then silently wiped the cold sweat from his brow in relief, having managed to relay the captain’s instructions well.

As for the "information" about Hope Village that had been exchanged, it was safe to say, in the face of their personal interests, Hope Village had to make room for them.

Morrison’s team had returned to the territory two days ago.
