Fitzwilliam was then warmly invited by the lizard people to enter the village, where he saw much more.
Wherever the shipwright looked, almost everything was bustling with production and construction.
Apart from those figures swinging their sickles to harvest crops in the crisscrossing strip fields, Fitzwilliam also saw logs that had been chopped into sections being dragged back from the direction of the swamp, and piled up under several thatched sheds.
Groups that looked like carpenters selected their preferred logs in these sheds and began processing them right on the spot.
Crab's Corner is located on the eastern side of the Empire where there are hardly any brick kilns, so Fitzwilliam couldn't recognize these smoke-billowing, loaf-shaped buildings and could only guess that the lizard people were probably firing something.
But he himself was a shipwright, and was more than familiar with woodworking.
