Chapter 390: Chapter 223: Hope Village Became Famous_2

Within just two days, Morrison had experienced a colossal rise in his status within the territory.

The commodities they brought back instantly became the talk of the entire territory, turning into a coveted goal pursued by many. Even when the prices rose tenfold, they were still eagerly snatched up by the masses.

Morrison naturally became even more sought-after, and every day, there were merchant teams and mercenary teams seeking him out.

Of course, more of them were there to gather information about Hope Village, hoping to carve out their own slice of the pie.

After all, the goods from Hope Village were visibly popular.

They relied on genuine quality.

Especially the food, it simply refreshed their taste buds.

Once tasted, they found it impossible to forget.

And in this territory’s inheritance hierarchy, they were still ranked in the thousands, and moreover, it was one of those territories that had surged forward suddenly; so, they could only turn to Morrison for information.

One day, another merchant team came looking for Morrison.

This merchant team had quite an impressive background; it belonged to Marquis Boyer, the lord of Lovisa City, and virtually monopolized half of the city’s business.

The person in charge of the merchant team was Theodore, one of Marquis Boyer’s sons; of course, he was a son by a favoured concubine, not the legitimate heir, but he had been given his own path.

Under such circumstances, Morrison couldn’t simply turn him away.

Moreover, Theodore wasn’t an unreasonable person. To take on the position of the merchant team’s leader among many siblings, he couldn’t solely rely on his mother’s favor. He had considerable personal abilities, treated his subordinates well, and navigated interpersonal relationships with ease, naturally earning his father’s attention.

"Lord Theodore," Morrison greeted the man with due respect upon meeting him.

The other party had no official title, but carried himself as if he had one; Morrison had no qualms about calling him "lord."

"Captain Morrison, you flatter me," said Theodore. He did not deny the address and then directly stated his purpose, "Captain Morrison, you must be aware of why I am here, right?"

"Hope Village?" Morrison acknowledged openly.

"Exactly. I heard that Hope Village has suddenly jumped by more than a thousand ranks. You’ve just returned from there; do you know why?" Theodore asked not about the novel goods from Hope Village but rather about the status of the village.

After all, the strength of a territory determined its capability to protect such commodities.

He had intended to visit personally, assessing whether there was a profit to be made, but the sudden elevation in ranks indicated that Hope Village was far from simple.

The less simple it was, the less likely he was to gain any advantage there.

Morrison, listening to the other’s words, already understood his intentions.

Because in recent days, there were quite a few merchant teams, both great and small, with similar plans.

However, due to certain considerations, he didn’t spell it out, merely stating that it was a decent territory with a lot of potential.

Those merchant teams didn’t completely believe him and were already planning to organize a trip to follow him to Hope Village next time.

He didn’t refuse, after all, given the extensive market of Lovisa City and the surrounding territories, he couldn’t possibly swallow it all at once.

Of course, he hoped to gain the maximum benefits, so finding a collaborator became crucial.

Theodore was the person he deemed most suitable; Morrison could completely use this opportunity to leap onto the larger vessel.

Thinking this over, Morrison had made up his mind and replied, "I left that place quite some time ago, so why it suddenly went up, I don’t know, but the territory is quite strong, and the Lord behind it has plans. As long as it doesn’t fail along the way, it will surely become a significant city in the future."

"Oh, you rate it so highly? Do tell," Theodore’s interest was piqued instantly, as he eyed Morrison with an inscrutable gaze.

Morrison paused briefly before hesitatingly revealing all he had seen and heard in Hope Village, concluding, "I feel that behind them lies a complete and valuable knowledge system entirely different from our world, hence hiding an immeasurable amount of wealth... The most important aspect is their thinking; it’s so out of place, yet, most residents quite enjoy it..."

As Morrison narrated, Theodore could envision an extraordinary territory unfolding before him, a spark of curiosity lurking in the depths of his eyes.
