Mafo headed down the stairs and observed the room, with his nephew and the others following behind him.
As they walked down, they could hear the good words on their feast. Most towns seemed to enjoy themselves, and the nobles from various cities didn’t have distaste on their faces.
After all, those people’s standards were different. This time, their eyebrows were not furrowed, which was good enough, let alone that there were good words the majority of the others gave out.
"This is really good."
"Hmn, the Lord definitely invested a bit in this."
He smirked.
With this, the prestige of Voumi Town was sure to rise! They had been stuck at Level 1 for decades. It was about time for them to get to Level 2. They needed new land and new power!
However, at some point, he overheard some discussion that caught his attention.
"It’s amazing... how’d they get so many elementalists?"
"We will find out," another said, and his partner looked around.
"Hmnn... I realized everyone here are from certain regions, I recognize many," he said.
Another nodded. "I heard from my cousins here that they were getting them some thousand kilometers or so from the East."
"That’s quite a distance," he said. "No wonder I don’t see many from the East."
"I don’t even see anyone from Twinwave. Isn’t that the nearest Town here?"
The mention of Twinwave irked Mafo quite a bit.
Twinwave was also a Level 2 Town, and they had been at this level even before Voumi became a Town. Further, its location made it into a good trading hub in this area, especially because it was connected to the resource-rich central plains.
Most businesses in the region would naturally go there, which ultimately grew its power.
They were also the greatest threat when he upgraded within—hopefully—less than a decade.
At the mention of Twinwave many people, particularly those from the South and Southwest, had expressions of longing.
"Ah, Twinwave. They’re really upgrading... I’m in love with their new products, especially the sauces."
"Ah yes, I love the condiments there. If only they didn’t have purchase limits!"
"To be honest, if I hadn’t tasted the goods from there, I would’ve been impressed by the food here."
Mafo was not able to hear more because he was approached by other amicable people, who asked him if he could increase the numbers—and quality—next time.
It reminded him that they had not received anything in the past few weeks. freēwebnovel.com
