The next moment, Charlotte subconsciously expressed her inner thoughts.
Zhou Bai looked at Charlotte's incredulous look, paused, and said directly: "There was no lord in our territory before, and we were always told what to do in the form of tasks. I also became the village chief not long ago, no matter what It may not be possible. Whatever task I receive, I will just do it."
"How can a territory not have a lord? Do you know what a noble status means?" Charlotte said sarcastically. As a noble, he has always been proud of his status. Seeing Zhou Bai, a person with a lower rank than him, He was careless about this matter, and naturally he was dissatisfied.
"How many territories like ours are there in this continent? How many noble titles are there like this?" Zhou Bai asked rhetorically.
She didn't feel much about this noble status from beginning to end, because it didn't bring any real help to the territory, and she even thought it was a trouble.
Because as long as she stands up and claims the noble title as the village chief, there will be no less eyes on her in the territory.
Many people may wonder whether she is the non-existent lord.
Charlotte choked at Zhou Bai's words.
Indeed, according to Zhou Bai's words, the number of nobles in the entire human kingdom is indeed over 10,000, and some nobles in small territories are nothing at all in large territories.
As a lord, or a lord who rules a territory in the eyes of others, she always feels burdened to do the above.
Things were finally settled on the surface.
The other party just left like that?
You must know that they are staying in the best hotel and eating the most exquisite food in the town of Benguela, all of which are provided by the kindness of the mayor of Benguela town.
The caravan following behind saw such a "farce" and was equally curious.
"There are so many people in the territory. It really shouldn't be difficult to hide."
"That's right."
They think so too!
The lord had hidden it before, perhaps to protect himself.
After all, as long as the other party is willing to reveal his identity, no one can pretend to be the lord.
Charlotte was noncommittal.
To make people suspicious of her, and to clear her name, at least on the surface she is still separated from her identity as a lord.
Charlotte watched in disbelief as Zhou Bai and Bayer walked further and further away, and couldn't help grinding her teeth.
She did a good job of taking a preemptive strike!
As an ordinary person, she can quietly develop the territory into what she wants according to her own ideas.
"If it wasn't her, who would it be? Why didn't I think of that!"
"Maybe she has some reasons why she doesn't want to tell her. I think this is good. Everyone in the territory can choose the position they want based on their contribution and act according to the task. It will be more orderly." Zhou Bai said directly.
"Whatever you think, if I can be awarded a title as the village chief, then I will take over the title according to the task. If not, as long as our territory has this title, it will be fine." Zhou Bai continued.
When the spell ended, a ray of light bloomed on the magic scroll.
….
"Did you hear that? We want the village to have a lord!"
[Identity: Lord of Hope Village (Viscount)]
Charlotte looked at Zhou Bai's indifferent expression and stopped insisting that Zhou Bai was the lord.
As a woman who can become the village chief of a territory, at least she has the skills, and she is also hardworking enough. I am afraid she has put in a lot of effort for this profession.
"Come in!" Charlotte gritted her teeth.
But now, it’s no longer necessary! Everyone knows that the existence of the territory depends on the lord, and it is impossible to do anything to the lord.
Charlotte listened and took out a magic scroll, and saw him reciting a few spells to the magic scroll.
Zhou Bai took it with a look on his face.
After a pause, he asked curiously: "Does every territory have to have a lord? Does the successful conferment of honors prove that there are lords in our territory?"
"Every territory must have a lord. Since the award can be successful, it means that your territory has a lord, but you, the lord, have hidden it quite deeply!" Charlotte looked a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, their eyes looked at Charlotte, and the last person asked cautiously: "Sir, are we still coming in?"
"This confirms the rumor."
Many people around Zhou Bai are also concerned about this issue.
The next moment, riding a horse beast, he led the entire knight team into the territory of Hope Village.
"Who could that be?"
The question of whether there is a lord in Hope Village has been on the minds of many people for a long time.
Zhou Bai was naturally aware of the prying eyes around him, and felt helpless.
On one side, many knights also looked surprised.
This caught Charlotte, who was paying attention to her expression, and the last doubt in her heart was instantly wiped away.
Anyway, he still believed that no one would take advantage of him and give up his status as a noble.
It doesn't really look like it.
When Charlotte said this, the eavesdropping ears around her twitched.
If she is a lord, what is the purpose of working so hard and arousing suspicion in the end?
The products of Hope Village have made them a lot of money. This time when they come to Hope Village, they must buy more goods!
After watching this team from the small town of Benguela enter the territory, the surrounding professionals started talking curiously.
But even though this was the case, Zhou Bai's words still sounded harsh.
After saying that, Zhou Bai took Bayer and patted his butt and left.
Goodbye, she won't serve you anymore!
"Where's Village Chief Zhou Bai? She is indeed questionable! She is the village chief, she is preparing to receive a medal, and most importantly, her family is the first to enter Hope Village."
It was also at this time that Zhou Bai discovered that there were two more words after the lord of Hope Village on his personal dashboard.
"She became the village chief based on her own ability. In terms of strength, she is definitely one of the best, and her contribution is far ahead. When the village chief is needed, it is most appropriate to choose her as the acting village chief. As for the first group to enter Hope Village, if she had planned to hide her identity early on, she would have blended in with the crowd and followed the crowd so that no one would notice."
Anyway, he just needs to send the notification of the award.
"Wait, aren't you entertaining us?" Charlotte was immediately confused.
….
He snorted softly and said: "You are the lord of Hope Village, right? It's just that you want to be the village chief for some reason!"
So, is she?
The next moment, Charlotte threw the scroll to Zhou Bai, "You can find a place to put it at will! The information has been recorded, and all the territorial lords will know it. I hope that the village lord will obtain the title of viscount."
He now felt that Hope Village was at odds with him!
He wanted to see what the village could develop into if there was a lord with no tail in sight.
"Then you award it to the Lord of Hope Village! If it is really there, it is her business whether it is used or not, and there is no need for me to stand up. I will be less conspicuous." Zhou Bai said nonchalantly.
For example, in San Sebastian, although he is a noble, he actually has no status. He can only find a sense of presence at the bottom and in small territories.
After adjusting his mood, he returned to his previous scornful attitude, "The title is for the lord of Hope Village. If you are not the lord of Hope Village, I'm sorry. Even if you have the lord's authorization, you can't do it. Your lord does not have this qualification."
Why are they so casual in this Hope Village? Don’t you need to arrange their accommodation?
Zhou Bai couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he heard the meaning revealed in Charlotte's words, and then said a little apologetically: "I am just the acting village chief of the territory. I am not qualified to manage the wealth of the territory. I am also the kind of person who gets salary from the territory. , entertain you
I am determined but unable to do so. You can find the lord! "
I don’t know what the lord of Hope Village thinks, or what the lord’s identity is to hide.
What? This means they have to pay for it themselves.
"Now that the awarding of honors has been completed, you can do whatever you want next." With that, Zhou Bai left with Bayer.
So for the sake of the territory and her own good, it’s better to hide it!
She feels more comfortable, and so does everyone in the territory.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, as long as the territory is good."
A moment later, after paying the very low "city entry fee", the rest of the caravans also entered the territory, and several of them who had an agreement with Hope Village were even more excited.
She really meant it.
Although he saw the change, Zhou Bai's face did not show any signs of it.
"What kind of award ceremony is needed?" Zhou Bai asked.
"...Hmm." Charlotte no longer stuck to this question.
"I just said there must be."
It was just as she expected!
"Yes, the territory is good, I am grateful to her!"
"..."
At this time, when Charlotte and others who entered the territory looked at the situation in Hope Village, a flash of surprise flashed across their eyes.
How can a territory that has been established for more than a month be so prosperous? ? ?
