I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 873 - 413: Hope Town Has Always Walked the Path of Struggle (Part 4)
Even though they had delicacies in their territory, due to limitations in ingredients, it had been a long time since they had savored such an aromatic and flavorful meal.
This is what it means to live!
Compared to the ravenous eating of others, Earl Orkot and Viscount Lancelot maintained their noble demeanor, eating slowly and gracefully.
A whole table set with different "sceneries" for different people.
Watching everyone eat heartily, Zhou Bai was pondering over how to introduce the suitable topic.
Finally, it was Liang Tianli who perceptively noticed and directly looked at Zhou Bai, saying: "Mayor, is there something you’d like to tell us?"
This hesitation seems like there’s a major issue?
With these words, everyone’s gaze swiftly focused on Zhou Bai.
Especially Viscount Lancelot and Bei Wenkang, who were more familiar with Zhou Bai, immediately sensed something unusual.
Oh right, during previous collaborations, when had Zhou Bai ever invited them for a meal???
Suddenly inviting them for a meal, and with so many people, there must be an issue.
"Is there any bad news?" Bei Wenkang instinctively asked, "Tell us, we will be prepared."
Zhou Bai didn’t expect Bei Wenkang to be so perceptive and said directly: "What do you think of special weather?"
"Hasn’t special weather not appeared for a while now?"
"When we first arrived, the weather really left us in disarray."
"Unexpectedly, when we made all types of preparations, it stopped coming."
"Mentioning special weather so suddenly, could it be about to appear irregularly again?"
"Does this special weather have any patterns, like appearing for a while and then not coming? Is it time for it to come again?"
"..."
As everyone talked, their attention was immediately captivated.
Earl Orkot’s expression was somewhat unusual.
Speaking of which, he had just received his family’s notification to prepare, and didn’t expect Hope Town to know so soon, or should I say, whose actions were so swift???
He initially thought of finding an opportunity to curry favor!
Watching everyone speculate, Zhou Bai then said: "I also just received the news; after we landed, special weather disappeared not due to patterns, but because it was brewing, brewing larger special weather. This time, the special weather is reported to be prolonged and possibly continuous, with no one knowing when it will stop next."
With those words, the scene fell silent.
A moment later, voices erupted.
"Damn, this is too treacherous, launching disaster mode directly?"
"Territory wars have already worn us out physically and mentally, and now a disaster?"
"This world should just be destroyed!"
"Apocalypse! Truly deserves the name, in every world it’s the same."
"Just when I thought it was getting easier in this world, fate slapped me hard across the face."
"..."
Liang Tianli’s group talked back and forth, expressionless.
They all felt struck by reality.
Listening to their words, Viscount Lancelot also felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
This indeed was not good news.
Viscount Lancelot instinctively glanced at Earl Orkot beside him, whose face showed no surprise but rather calmness.
Earl Orkot also noticed Viscount Lancelot’s gaze and then confidently spoke: "Several large territories have already prepared early, secretly purchasing a lot of materials on the market. If you want to get through peacefully and continue acquiring resources in the wild, you must prepare early. Previously, only some large territories knew; even I, was informed by my family two days ago to prepare."
He was telling Zhou Bai and everyone else.
This information, he didn’t know much earlier than Zhou Bai, and Zhou Bai also had just learned it, not concealing it until the last moment.
Listening, Zhou Bai unexpectedly glanced at Earl Orkot; she truly hadn’t expected him to speak up for her.
Understanding Earl Orkot’s intention, the others felt uneasy.
"Thank you for the hospitality, we’ll go back to prepare."
"Me too."
"Thank you, we’ll remember this favor."
"..."
Immediately, everyone began to take their leave.
They needed to return to discuss preparations among their people!
Especially for large territories, having made early purchases, they surely plan to profit handsomely; entering now, the price of special materials surely wouldn’t be cheap.
They needed to calculate the quantity needed for their territory early.
In an instant, the room quickly emptied.
Only Viscount Lancelot, Earl Orkot, Zhou Bai, and Bayer remained.
"Thank you for sharing such precious information with us." Viscount Lancelot said to Zhou Bai.
He truly didn’t have any backing, so this information was the first he’d heard.
Especially since he recently upgraded to a town level, spending a lot of Gold Coins in construction. If he had known earlier, no, even knowing early, he would still upgrade the town level.
Facing a disaster, a town-level territory has significantly stronger resistance.
"No need to be polite, after all, we are companions!" Zhou Bai simply replied.
With continuous good relations with Glasgow Town, Zhou Bai felt fortunate to have such a good neighbor.
Viscount Lancelot chuckled, "Then dear companion, I shall take my leave."
"Goodbye." Zhou Bai directly replied.
After Viscount Lancelot left, Earl Orkot then spoke: "Who informed you of this news? Baron Charlotte?"
In Hope Town’s social circle, Earl Orkot could only think of this individual having such strength.
"Yes." Zhou Bai nodded.
Listen to the Earl Orkot, paused, "It seems Baron Charlotte’s family truly favors Hope Town!"
"They favor cement." Zhou Bai candidly stated.
If not for that, her small town truly wouldn’t catch their eye.
"Indeed, in the future, cement as a physically defensive material, will be beloved by many territories." Earl Orkot remarked, "With the upcoming special weather, I hope you can hold steady."
"Hmm?"
"Aggressive territorial plundering will only accelerate, and more territories will join in. Hope Town, to establish itself, can only rely on its strength to prove itself. Once revealing weakness, not only hidden enemies but even allied partners might show their fangs." Earl Orkot kindly reminded.
"I will." Zhou Bai replied resolutely.
Hope Town has always walked the path of struggle, never letting up!
"Thank you." Zhou Bai then said, Earl Orkot’s words genuinely seemed heartfelt.
"No need, I just hope this region can remain stable because of our presence." Earl Orkot thought of the continent’s current situation and suddenly felt having Hope Town as a neighbor wasn’t so bad.
"Let’s work together." Zhou Bai followed up.
The greater the challenge, the more they should advance hand in hand!
"...Alright." Taking a deep look at Zhou Bai, Earl Orkot agreed.
Hope Town and this Mayor seemed to have a special allure!
Prompting one to instinctively want to...trust her!
