Injured? Injured by the humanoid lizard? Lumian made a casual guess after hearing Lugano's judgment.
He stood by the carriage, his gaze naturally surveying the surroundings of the Governor of the Sea's residence.
The location was close to the fishing village's docks, with boats sailing into the sea and fishing nets secured to the reefs. Around nearby houses, women were busy processing seafood, turning them into salted fish and jerky. Children ran along various village roads, playing games.
Though different from Cordu, the essence of the scene remained similar.
In front of the Governor of the Sea's residence stretched a sizable square where Lumian and the others awaited Madame Martha, RubiĆ³ Paco, and their emergence.
Children gathered in a corner, arranging numerous shells and engaging in an acting game.
The eldest, dressed in a linen shirt, declared, "I'm the Governor of the Sea!"
"I'll be the guard!"
