The game is coming: I rely on the construction of the territory as a charter woman

Chapter 240 What is the ranking of your territory?

Author: Happy Summer

Seeing that many people were not kneeling, Knight Commander Carlisle frowned. Just when he was about to get angry, he heard someone speaking at the scene.

"Get up, there's nothing to kneel on."

"You are residents of Hope Village, and the Marquis is not the Marquis of Hope Village. We have never knelt down to our lord, so why should we kneel down to the lords of other territories!"

"Yes, everyone get up."

"Why are you so arrogant when you come to our Hope Village!"

"I hope everyone in the village will get up for me."

"..."

Many people in the crowd shouted loudly.

In the crowd, no one knew exactly who said this, but rebuttals kept coming.

And behind, the people who were kneeling slowly got up.

If others don’t kneel, it won’t look good if they kneel!

Moreover, they were right. They had never knelt before the lord in Hope Village, even though the lord did not show up.

Seeing this situation, Carlisle's expression changed.

He has been to so many territories with Marquis Boyle. Except for cities at the same level as their territory and powerful level 3 towns, there is no other territory that would not give their marquis face.

It is a rule of the human kingdom to bow down when you see a noble.

He was angry not only because the other party did not kneel down to welcome him, but also because these people dared to offend them with words.

All in all, they just didn't take their marquis seriously.

How is this possible???

"Where are you lords?" Carlisle's sharp eyes instantly turned towards the soldiers guarding the city, and finally settled on Zhou Bai and Bayer.

When he saw Bayer, his eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately said, "How dare you, Hope Village, be so bold to take in the undead clan!"

The undead are not very popular on the continent of Stan, and are even rejected, but this does not mean that there are no undead in the continent of Stan.

There are some hidden in the human kingdom, and they are basically kept by some nobles in order to let them do some shameful things.

If it succeeds, it will be good for their nobles.

If it fails, then it is the work of the undead clan that bears the curse and should be punished.

Speaking of which, the undead are more useful than some private slaves!

But at this time, he hoped that the village would allow them to appear in the territory in a dignified manner, and it happened to offend them. How could he not use the topic to play?

Zhou Bai was quite happy to hear the surrounding residents condemning this convoy.

After all, the opponent's airs are indeed a bit too big.

As a result, the other party suddenly used Bayer to attack, and the whole person was speechless.

This is also the first time Zhou Bai has faced "intrigue", or in other words, the "oppression" of Hope Village by higher territories.

She knows very well that such a situation is inevitable with the development of Hope Village.

Therefore, she must determine Hope Village's attitude early.

And her attitude is naturally "You can't be moved by poverty and humbleness, and you can't bend by force", because if you succumb to the first time, then there will definitely be a second and third time.

She worked hard to develop her territory, not just to make herself and her residents bow to others.

Therefore, he looked at Carlisle in front of him and said coldly: "The undead clan was summoned by our lord through a special building. It is reasonable and reasonable. What does it have to do with boldness? Furthermore, this is the internal affairs of our Hope Village. Is it possible that you want to overstep our lord's control?"

Our territory?”

Carlisle didn't expect Zhou Bai's reaction to be like this. After he reacted, his face turned dark and he said in a deep voice: "Where are your lords? When our Lord Marquis arrives, he should come out to greet us."

"We don't know where our lord is at the moment, so we came to greet the Marquis on his behalf. As for the rest, we didn't receive any orders?" Zhou Bai said firmly. He didn't receive any orders, so there was no special treatment.

At this moment, Zhou Bai was glad that his identity had not been exposed or made public.

You can do things by pulling on the tiger's skin.

The lord is the "backer" behind them.

Carlisle: "..."

Just when Carlisle was thinking of a way to retaliate, Marquis Boyle raised his eyebrows in the car after listening to the conversation between the two parties.

The people in Hope Village are really arrogant.

But he does have a little bit of arrogance.

This time, he didn't come to target Hope Village, he just came to see how sacred Hope Village was, and how it could actually defeat...

A dark light flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Theodore who was still holding the curtain outside, and went out anyway.

As soon as he came out, Carlisle quickly saluted and said: "Your Majesty the Marquis."

When I saluted, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

His "helplessness" towards Hope Village must have been noticed by the Marquis, and I don't know if the Marquis would be satisfied.

Marquis Boyle was naturally dissatisfied, but he knew that Hope Village was different, so he didn't blame him too much and just responded lightly before going down.

Zhou Bai looked at the Marquis Boyle who appeared and was also observing him.

She had met Viscount Lancelot of Glasgow Village before, perhaps because he wanted the village to be of the same level as him. His attitude was very approachable. Even though he had not met the so-called "lord", he treated her as a villager.

The lengths are also very equal.

But she didn't think the Marquis would have the same opinion.

In fact, she was a little suspicious of the other party's purpose in coming to Hope Village.

Since he is a marquis, he must have a city territory in his hands, and he is afraid that there will be no shortage of capable people under his command. Even if the things in Hope Village are tempting, he only needs a word and there are many people to run errands for him.

It is necessary to come, at least there is no need to come at first.

But here he comes.

Therefore, Zhou Bai was still very wary of the other party.

He just thought so in his heart, but Zhou Bai didn't show any emotion in front of him, and bowed politely.

Anyway, it’s just a slight bow! She can do it.

When Marquis Boyle saw this, he raised his eyebrows and even saluted.

After thinking about it for a moment, I started to understand the other person's thoughts.

Looking at Carlisle, he said in a cold voice: "I told you not to make too big a show outside and disturb other territory residents. Didn't you take my words to heart?"

When Carlisle heard this, he instantly understood what his Marquis meant, and he quickly knelt down to apologize and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis, I was wrong."

"I'll punish you when I go back." After saying that, Marquis Boyle looked at Zhou Bai, "The management is not strict, and you are laughing at the joke. Come today, just treat me as an ordinary tourist! I came here after hearing about the delicious food in Hope Village.

of."

Heard?

There is Morrison's caravan going back to Lovisa City, and there is the flag of Morrison's caravan behind them.

Since Morrison has been back for so long, things must have been sold a lot.

If he were in the territory, it would be impossible for the Marquis of Boyle, as the lord, not to have eaten it.

But it makes sense if it's not within the territory.

Then why is it not within the territory? Why is the Marquis curious about Hope Village?

Suddenly, a thought crossed Zhou Bai's mind, that was the territorial war that had just ended in Hope Village.

Fasal Village is just a village, and Bayer also said that this kind of aggressive territory must be backed by a large territory.

Can she make a reasonable guess that the city of Lovisa is the backer behind Fasar Village?

But this is just her conjecture, and it is not fact unless it is verified.

However, Zhou Bai sometimes still believes in his sixth sense.

Thinking about this, Zhou Bai smiled politely at Marquis Boyle, "Welcome, we hope that the village welcomes friends from all over the world. In order to entertain people like the Marquis, a piece of land has been specially approved to build a resort! It's just that it's very

It’s a pity that the work has just started, so we won’t be able to entertain the Marquis in a short period of time, so I may have to make do with it, Marquis.”

Zhou Bai also suddenly thought of some "habits" of nobles. Last time, Viscount Lancelot "disdained" the hotel in Hope Village. I'm afraid this one will dislike it even more!

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhou Bai said, Marquis Boyle said directly: "Don't you lords have any manor?"

The entire territory is the territory of the lord, and it is only human nature to build a manor.

He has several manors in his own city of Lovisa, some of which are used to entertain nobles from other territories. This has become a common practice.

Since the resort is under construction, he can reluctantly live in the lord's manor, and then just replace some of the furniture with what he is used to.

Zhou Bai shook his head, "No, so far, the only habitable places in our territory are houses and hotels, and the lord does not have any manor."

Marquis Boyle: "..."

Isn't Hope Village already a level 3 village? Why is it still so crude?

"So I would like to trouble Marquis Boyle to stay in the hotel first. If you are afraid of being disturbed by others, you can book the entire hotel, then the hotel will not entertain other people." Zhou Bai reminded him friendly.

She also realized that the Marquis meant free entertainment just now.

How is this possible???

She doesn't want to be taken advantage of like that.

Let me quickly remind you that after thinking about it, these nobles are all face-saving. After she said this, the other party should not raise any questions and just accept it.

And as long as the Marquis agrees to come down, there will be "traceable traces" for the coming of other nobles in the future.

Simply perfect!

Zhou Bai was once again glad that his identity was not exposed.

She is the mayor of Hope Village, so she can say this, but she is the lord of Hope Village, so she cannot say this.

Indeed, Marquis Boyle and others understood Zhou Bai's words.

Even if Marquis Boyle wanted to show his generosity, he was still a little speechless.

What the other party meant was that not only did he let him stay in a hotel, but he also had to pay for the hotel stay, right?

Marquis Boyle was too embarrassed to say anything out of noble aristocratic upbringing.

Carlisle on the side listened to this outrageous request and planned to say something for his Marquis.

But Marquis Boyle was the first to speak, "Well, let's stay in the hotel first. It will be a rare experience!"

"Then please, Lord Marquis!" Zhou Bai said respectfully.

The visitor is a guest, and to a certain extent, a "boss", and he can't afford to offend her. If she can be more respectful and avoid trouble, it really doesn't matter.

Marquis Boyle glanced at Zhou Bai and nodded, "Yes."

Afterwards, Zhou Bai asked Bayer beside him to lead them in first.

Facing Carlisle's angry look, he said apologetically: "Our lord is not in the territory, and there are many guests behind who need to be entertained. I can't leave, so let Bayer take you there!"

"Yes." Marquis Boyle responded lightly. He was also very interested in the undead working in Hope Village!

It just so happens that we can have a good chat on the way.

After a while, Marquis Boyle and his party were led away.

When leaving, Theodore, who had been silent beside Marquis Boyle, couldn't help but look at Zhou Bai one more time.

He had also heard about Zhou Bai's acting style from Morrison, but seeing it once was worse than hearing it a hundred times!

During the whole process, he did not interrupt. Firstly, he planned to do business with Zhou Bai, and he was afraid that interrupting would make subsequent matters difficult. Secondly, he knew very well that he had no role to speak out in the situation just now.

He is just an illegitimate child.

Thinking about it, Theodore followed silently. If there is a chance in the future, he will just find Morrison to connect him.

After they left, many onlookers immediately moved back.

Obviously, they were people sent by other teams behind to investigate the situation.

After a while, everyone basically knew what Zhou Bai had to do with Marquis Boyle.

"The people from Hope Village are really brave! That's a marquis."

"But the people in Hope Village seem to be a little special. Under normal circumstances, the residents are absolutely respectful to the nobles. At least no matter what they think in their hearts, they will not let others find fault on the surface, but they can't even show their skill.

Don’t do it.”

"Yes! I hope that if the village lord gives the residents so much freedom, won't he be afraid that they will be disadvantageous to him as the lord in the future?"

"I don't know what the other party thinks."

"Anyway, even if there are problems in the future, it has nothing to do with us."

"If there is a problem, it's better. The good things in Hope Village are really good!"

"Then monitor more and look for opportunities when the time comes! Since no one can eat it, we can only wait for him to mess up. Then it would be a good choice for everyone to share it together."

"The lord of Hope Village doesn't even have a manor. It seems that he can only stay in a hotel today."

"Just live here for a while! It's not like there is a manor under construction."

"But I'm afraid that manor also costs money."

"I care more about enjoyment than money."

"This Hope Village is so simple and doesn't even have a manor. Why on earth does it rank over 5,000 places?"

"that is."

"..."

The subsequent nobles and their cronies slowly came up with their own little ideas based on what they had just seen.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have a certain understanding of the "rules" of Hope Village.

As they were just chatting, there was a little more disdain and... jealousy in their expressions.

Afterwards, they got out of the car one by one and prepared to pay a visit to the so-called village head of Hope Village.

When they were preparing to visit, Morrison had already taken the lead in meeting Zhou Bai.

He was led by the Marquis Boyle before the other teams.

Before others arrived, he had to say hello to Zhou Bai first.

"Village Chief," Morrison said to Zhou Bai with his wife and children.

"Are these your wife and children?" Zhou Bai asked, looking at Rita and Owen next to Morrison.

"Yes, my wife Rita and son Owen."

Morrison's introducer, Rita and Owen, also quickly saluted.

Even a kid like Owen knows how to salute.

Seeing them coming with their children, Zhou Bai had a little guess in his heart and smiled brightly, "Welcome to Hope Village. Speaking of which, our territorial school has started and is currently enrolling students. If Captain Morrison is interested,

, you can take your children to have a look!”

Morrison listened and looked slightly moved. Has school started yet?

The next moment, he directly agreed, "Okay."

It was also at this time that Zhou Bai spoke, "Did Captain Morrison set out from Lovisa with Marquis Boyle?"

She wanted to collect more clues, and Morrison had a breakthrough here. If you don't ask, you will get nothing.

The important thing is that this news is not a big secret, and it is normal for her to ask.

Morrison also knew this. Although he had speculations in his mind, he still said normally: "How am I qualified to go out with Marquis Boyle? I am with a caravan in our territory, and the person in charge of that caravan is

They are relatives of Marquis Boyle, who caught up with our team yesterday."

Morrison also didn't know why Marquis Boyle suddenly became interested in Hope Village.

Zhou Bai listened, his eyes twinkling.

In this way, the possibility she just speculated is becoming more and more likely.

Immediately, Zhou Bai continued to ask some more information about Marquis Boyle, and then ended the conversation, "Thank you, please go to the territory first! The current territory should surprise you."

Seeing the goodness of Hope Village, come and join the embrace of Hope Village!

As long as Morrison's children attend schools in Hope Village, the possibility of recruiting him will be very high in the long run.

"Okay." Morrison became even more curious when he heard Zhou Bai say this.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled the team and walked inside.

After Morrison left, several nobles had already come towards Zhou Bai together.

The eyes that looked at Zhou Bai were appraising and... critical.

"Are you the mayor of Hope Village?"

"How could a woman be the village chief?"

"Do you want the village to be empty?"

"..."

Several nobles said unceremoniously, and their tone was very calm, but the content of their words was undoubtedly arousing people's anger.

The people on the side really clenched their fists when they heard this.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Bai who immediately looked at the crowd watching the excitement and said, "Don't gather here, everyone, go and do your own business!"

This group of nobles is really worse than the Marquis Boyle just now.

Also, could they not know about the conversation between Zhou Bai and Marquis Boyle just now? Yes.

It was precisely because he knew that he took advantage of the large number of people to give the village chief Zhou Bai power.

One is to take this opportunity to make a good sale to Marquis Boyle. After all, they don't believe that Marquis Boyle will really not be angry.

The second is to test the details of Hope Village and suppress her at the same time.

Zhou Bai looked at this group of nobles calmly and said directly: "I am the village chief appointed by our lord. Our territory selects people mainly based on talent, learning and character, and has no regard for gender. Is it possible that your territory only accepts men?"

Don’t accept women?”

"Of course not, it's just that there are very few women who can take charge of a territory! Will your lords leave everything to you?" When speaking, some nobles still had a trace of ambiguity on their faces.

Zhou Bai ignored the other party's hint and asked directly: "But I know that there are many women who serve as lords, and Marquis Catherine is one of them. She has always been a role model for us lords. Because of Marquis Catherine, we lords are not limited to all kinds of talents."

Demoting talents."

Fortunately, she had spent the past few days getting to know some of the higher-ranking cities and towns in the Human Kingdom.

Marquis Catherine's city of Leos is a famous big city, not only because it has a female lord, but also because it is a very powerful big city, with its territory ranking among the top five, and no one dares to ignore him.

exist.

Hearing what Zhou Bai said, several nobles turned dark.

I hope the village chief is really sharp-tongued.

Marquis Catherine has come out, can they say that women don't have that ability?

After taking a look at their aggrieved expressions, Zhou Bai continued: "Speaking of which, I still don't know which territory you all belong to? What's the ranking of the territory?"

She had a premonition.

The ranking of the territories of this group of nobles is probably not very good.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have the thought to embarrass the head of Hope Village like her. Just like the Marquis just now, he didn't take her to heart at all, so he didn't even care about her "offense".

Sure enough, after Zhou Bai said this, the expressions of several nobles changed.

Which territory can be said, but why should we talk about territory ranking???

Said they were after Hope Village???

Isn’t that embarrassing???

Looking at their expressions, Zhou Bai understood instantly.

Sure enough, it ranks behind Hope Village!

But what Zhou Bai understood, the people around him who insisted on not leaving also understood, and they immediately started "booing", and spoke out of curiosity.

"Where is your lord's territory?"

"We will go and take a look when we have the opportunity in the future."

"I think it must be very strong!"

"..."
