CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 286: THE LARGEST INFLOW OF POPULATION IS CURRENTLY..._3

After arriving on Stan Continent, many Blue Star people still harbored thoughts of Blue Star in their hearts. The longer they stayed on Stan Continent, the more they yearned for home.

And Hope Village was currently the most developed among all Blue Star territories and boasted the most abundant variety of exotic foods reminiscent of those on Blue Star.

The delicacies of Hope Village alleviated their homesickness to a certain degree, causing a flood of people to come crazily.

As for the residents from other native territories, a significant portion had dealings with Hope Village.

Some were from afar, with several days’ journey to Hope Village. They knew about Hope Village because merchant teams had sold goods in their territories, and they had tried or used products from Hope Village, forming an initial good impression that they couldn’t forget. Therefore, when the "mission" of a free vacation in Hope Village came out, they scurried over, some for the sake of their own pride, even if they had not tasted the cuisine of Hope Village. Seeing others discussing it, they, too, would make the trip; as for those living closer, they were even more influenced by Hope Village, frequently traveling back and forth with their territory’s merchant teams. Now, with this mission, their travel was even more convenient, and naturally, they too decided to join in.

Under the influence of various factors, Hope Village bustled with lively scenes.

And it was foreseeable that this was just the beginning.

Having finished contemplating, Bernie slowly made his way out of the crowd.

The moment he stepped out of the Task Center, the inner environment of Hope Village came into his view.

The moment he saw it, Bernie was utterly stunned.

The environment now differed greatly from what he remembered.

It had not been long, yet it felt like he had stepped into a different territory! He was truly a bit shocked!

The speed of development was just too fast!

While he was still immersed in the beauty of Hope Village, several tour guides promptly approached him.

"Do you need a tour guide? One-stop service for a fulfilling and enjoyable day in Hope Village."

"Gastronomy routes, scenic routes, commercial routes... everything you could want is available for you to choose."

"For just 99 copper coins, you can experience 99 times the happiness."

"..."

Several guides asked, maintaining a respectful distance, their earnest demeanor not arising displeasure.

At least Bernie felt the joy of being a tourist.

Such an attitude, such service, made him almost want to take out his money.

It was just 99 copper coins!

Just as he subconsciously thought about paying, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to Hope Village, and could only cough discreetly with a single hand over his lips, saying, "I’m not a tourist, I have official business here. I’ve come to find your village chief."

Upon hearing this, the guides around quickly showed understanding and hurriedly looked for their next target. Of course, some kindly reminded him, "You might be late. Our village chief just left the territory on a Beast Cart, probably gone on a hunting expedition. Generally, he won’t return until the evening."

Bernie fell silent for a moment.

So long, and the village chief still does this!

Hope Village was so lively; how could he, as the village chief, be so free?

Thinking so, Bernie nonetheless headed toward the Lord Mansion.

Zhou Bai wasn’t there, but Lord Bayer should be!

He could be considered one of Zhou Bai’s confidants; passing the message should suffice.

In no time at all, Bernie met with Bayer in the name of Viscount Lancelot.

"Does Viscount Lancelot have something to discuss with us?" Bayer’s impression of Viscount Lancelot was quite favorable, added to the fact that the two sides would have long-term cooperation in the near future, Bayer’s attitude was quite enthusiastic.

"I’m here to convey a message on behalf of our Lord. Viscount Robin, the lord of Barnes Village, is preparing to gather the forces of nearby territories against Hope Village due to a severe loss of residents in his land," Bernie said matter-of-factly, "They were refused by our territory, but the direction they are headed should be toward Yuxi Village and Qinghe Village areas."

On hearing this, Bayer’s expression paused.

Barnes Village? Qinghe Village?

After quickly reviewing the information of these two territories in his mind, Bayer had an idea.
