"Three days from now, Hope Village will face territory war. The whole territory's attention will be on fending off other territories, so we won't have the mind to arrange anything for you yet. Even if we could, we wouldn't be able to assign everything at once, and the pay isn't high enough to let you buy out your tribe for the long term," Zhou Bai said honestly.
"The ore we have on hand now is enough to last us for a while. As long as you can arrange something for us later, it's fine," Mills quickly added, "Whatever work it is, our clansmen will definitely do a good job, so long as you give us a chance."
Zhou Bai had already noticed the urgency in the other's mood. He paused, then spoke: "There is actually a task right now. Our territory is preparing to reinforce the walls, and we need a team of workers. I could hire you directly for this. It's just that since it requires little skill, the wages are low. Is that okay with you?"
"That's fine," Mills replied immediately.
