I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 369 - 212: Collision Between Goblins and Goblins

At that moment, Zhou Bai also noticed these people in the territory.

When she first saw them, she wasn’t too concerned, especially since in the last couple of days, the mercenary teams from Bengala Town had all returned from various territories to restock, and they had brought along quite a few merchant teams from other territories. As such, there was a significant amount of movement of people in and out of Hope Village.

She could no longer simply judge the number of people in the territory based on the green dots.

So today, when she saw a large number of small green dots on the edge of the territory, she had merely glanced at them before continuing with her own business.

But after a while, she noticed that these green dots had not moved at all, and she immediately felt that something must have happened.

As Zhou Bai was rushing to the scene, she ran headlong into the entire group.

Upon seeing O’Neill and others dragging a line of people, she was completely taken aback.

"What’s going on?" Zhou Bai asked O’Neill and then her gaze lingered on Quan Ziqiang and Mills among others.

She had already anticipated that it had something to do with this group of goblins.

"Village Chief!" O’Neill quickly greeted her.

With his lead, the others also promptly spoke up, their respect for Zhou Bai, the village chief, abundantly clear in their tones.

And hearing these words, those who did not know about Zhou Bai’s identity turned their gazes toward her.

So this was Viktor’s previously mentioned Zhou Bai, who was currently managing the entire Hope Village!

Mills felt a surge of nervousness inside him.

What would the village chief’s attitude towards their Goblin Clan be?

Although he had a guess from Quan Ziqiang’s attitude, Mills, who had always been treated differently by races across the Stan Continent, couldn’t help but be gingerly cautious toward others’ goodwill, hoping for more recognition. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Inferior and sensitive, such was the norm for the Goblin Clan.

O’Neill, unable to wait any longer, narrated the whole incident.

"I was on patrol when I encountered them. This group of mercenaries dared to rob within our territory, and the victims were our own residents..." He babbled on, and Zhou Bai instantly understood what he meant.

At this moment, the captured Hashim looked at Zhou Bai and couldn’t help but speak, "Village Chief, I realize my mistake now, it won’t happen again, please give us another chance, I am willing to offer you a treasure."

Begging the group of Beastmen to let them go was impossible, so his hope now rested solely on Zhou Bai, the village chief.

His last statement was an explicit bribe.

Of course, this was also a norm in most of the territories of the Human Clan Kingdom.

Sometimes money could give one the power to do as one pleased.

In many territories, they could gain special privileges in that territory by throwing around money.

He was now hoping to use the authority of Zhou Bai, the village chief, to save himself.

Zhou Bai listened, her lips curling into an ambiguous smile, "What treasure?"

Seeing Zhou Bai being so direct, Hashim glanced at O’Neill and Quan Ziqiang among others, wondering how the village chief didn’t even consider the feelings of her subordinates and was directly "talking business"?

After his initial shock, Hashim felt a surge of relief.

This often signified a very important point.

That was, Zhou Bai, the Lord, had absolute control over Hope Village, and she didn’t need to worry about what her subordinates thought.

Hashim immediately responded, "I have an architectural drawing, obtained by a stroke of luck."

For ordinary professionals, architectural drawings weren’t very useful.

The only benefit was to offer them to some territory lords or high-ranking officials to gain some protection.

The architectural drawing he had was initially meant to be presented to his own territory lord.

Yet, he had encountered this incident before he could return to his territory.

Afraid of being heavily taxed upon entering Hope Village, he naturally had to offer this architectural drawing to gain Zhou Bai’s favor.

"Let me see it," Zhou Bai initially had no intention of accepting the "bribe," but upon hearing the mention of the architectural drawing, she instantly perked up.

For a territory, she could never have too many architectural drawings.

It was just unfortunate that the drop rate of architectural drawings was extremely low.

Hearing this, Hashim hesitated for a moment but then took it out.

Thus, an architectural drawing ended up in Zhou Bai’s hands.
