While bowing, there was still a bit of discomfort in his heart.
He thought that Lord Marquis must have seen the "helplessness" he felt towards Hope Village, unsure if the Marquis would be satisfied.
Marquis Boyle was naturally dissatisfied, but he understood that Hope Village was different, so he did not bla too much and responded lightly before leaving.
Zhou Bai watched Marquis Boyle as he appeared and observed him.
She had previously t Viscount Lancelot from Glasgow Village and thought perhaps because Hope Village was of the sa level, his deanor was very approachable. Even without eting the so-called "Lord," he treated her, the Village Chief, very equally.
But she did not think this Marquis would share the sa view.
In fact, she sowhat doubted the purpose of his visit to Hope Village.
Being a Marquis, he surely held control over a city territory and must have many capable people under him. Even though the products of Hope Village were tempting, he rely needed to give the command and many would run errands for him; there was no need for him to co here, at least not initially.
Yet, he did co.
Therefore, Zhou Bai remained very cautious of him.
Though she thought this, Zhou Bai’s face did not betray her thoughts, and she perford a polite bow.
After all, it was just a small bow! She could manage that.
Seeing this, Marquis Boyle raised his eyebrows and actually returned the bow.
Thinking over it for a mont, he seed to understand her mind.
Looking at Carl, he spoke in a slightly cold voice, "I’ve said before, don’t make a show of power outside, disturbing the residents of other territories. Have you not taken my words to heart?"
Upon hearing this, Carl instantly understood the Marquis’s intention and quickly knelt down to apologize, "Lord Marquis, I am at fault."
"You will be punished when we return." After saying this, Marquis Boyle turned to Zhou Bai, "Lax control, making a joke of us, today just consider a regular tourist! I ca hearing about the delicious food in Hope Village."
Hearing?
Lovisa City indeed had Morrison’s rchant team return, and Morrison’s banner followed them.
Morrison had returned quite a ti ago, surely having sold their goods by now.
Had it been within his territory, as a Lord, Marquis Boyle surely would have tasted them.
But outside the territory, that was plausible.
Then why, if outside his territory, would Lord Marquis be curious about Hope Village!
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Zhou Bai’s mind, that was the recent Territory War that had just ended in Hope Village.
Fasal Village was rely a village, and Bayer had ntioned that this aggressive type of territory must have a large territory backing it.
Could she reasonably speculate that the backing behind Fasal Village was Lovisa City?
But this was just her guess, without verification, it was not a fact.
However, Zhou Bai sotis did trust her gut instincts.
Thinking this, Zhou Bai smiled politely at Marquis Boyle, "Welco, our Hope Village is very welcoming to friends from all places. Especially to entertain soone like Lord Marquis, we even specifically allocated a piece of land to construct a resort! It’s just unfortunate, the construction has just begun, and we won’t be able to host Lord Marquis in the short term. You might have to make do."
Zhou Bai had also suddenly recalled the "habits" of nobility; last ti Viscount Lancelot had "despised" the inn in Hope Village, this one would likely be even more disdainful!
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhou Bai’s words, Marquis Boyle imdiately said, "Does your Lord not have any manor?"
The entire territory belonged to the Lord, and setting up manors was common practice.
He had several manors in his own Lovisa City, so of which were used to entertain nobles from other territories, which was already customary.
If the resort was already under construction, he could reluctantly stay in the Lord’s manor, later switching so furniture to what he was used to.
Zhou Bai shook her head, "No, currently, the only places in our territory suitable for living are residential hos and the hotel. The Lord has no manor."
Marquis Boyle: "..."
Isn’t Hope Village already a Level 3 village? How can it still be so rudintary?
"So for now, I must trouble Marquis Boyle to stay in the hotel. If you are worried about disturbances from others, you can book the entire hotel, so it will not accommodate anyone else." Zhou Bai reminded him kindly.
She too had figured out that the Marquis’s intention just now was to receive free hospitality.
