Although no brick kilns or bricklayers could be found in the western territories, fortunately, there were still a good number of carpenters.
In virtually every village, there were people skilled in carpentry, yet in Ireya's domain, the common people had a poor perception of the lizard people.
Many of them had relatives or friends who had died at the hands of the lizard people and harbored both hatred and fear towards these raiders living in the swamps.
Even though Li Yu had already requested that the lizard people remove the giant lizard skull that could be worn on the body, making them appear no different from ordinary humans, the moment they heard about working in the lands where the lizard people lived, not a single person was willing to respond, even though Li Yu was willing to offer double the pay.
Eventually, Li Yu could only bring in five carpenters from the neighboring Black Stone City, along with their assistants, totaling twelve people.
