"It was bound to happen," Wendell's face showed no surprise, as all this was within his expectations.
From the moment they entered Hope Village, the village kept refreshing their understanding of it; his face was swollen beyond recognition already, how could it be slapped again!
Marvin listened and felt the same way.
That Hope Village elicited such confidence about a territory was a testament to its capability.
"Is there any movement in the territory?" Wendell continued to ask.
Previously, Lord Earl had been in Hope Village, evidently planning a long vacation, and then he suddenly left; Wendell always felt there must be a reason, and if there was something afoot, he wanted to see if there were opportunities for him to prove his worth and catch Lord Earl's eye.
Marvin, instantly understanding, responded, "Lord Earl departed with Baron Charlotte. Not long after, two Holy-level Mages came from the Capital, accompanying a team handpicked by Lord Earl on a task outside."
