As he spoke, Viscount Conrad's tone carried a hint of something deeper.
The movement of residents between territories is pretty normal. As the Lord of a territory, you wouldn't usually care much about it, but Hope Village's attitude gives him some room to be sarcastic.
Zhou Bai listened and grinned happily. "Having so many people come here at least proves our territory is appealing! Right now, what we want most is to grow our population! So, have you all come to Hope Village to check out our business? If that's the case, our territory will surely offer you folks a little discount."
Viscount Conrad: "..."
He's finally realized that this Hope Village Chief has a seriously slick tongue.
He's managed to steer the whole conversation toward Hope Village's business.
But honestly, they did come for Hope Village's products.
Otherwise, why bother traveling all this way themselves?
The bit about offering discounts hit them right in the sweet spot.
