"Ah! Cedar tree, there's fish soup to drink!"
"Ah! This black bread is really delicious, there's not a single sawdust in it."
"Ah! There's even barbecue! Are all of this free to eat, Cedar?" Elm asked incredulously.
The cedar tree looked at the elm tree with amusement: "Weren't you already eating?"
Everyone wolfed down the food on the table and quickly finished it, but they were all still a little unsatisfied and hadn't eaten enough.
"Can we still eat cedar?" Elm looked at the cedar, but before the cedar could answer, the person sitting behind him spoke up.
"You're new here, aren't you? If you want more food, what will the people who come later eat? Each person only gets one serving, no more." Villager A turned to look at Yumu, his face clearly showing some dissatisfaction.
The companion sitting next to the elm tree was also somewhat dissatisfied. He looked at the villager A who had spoken.
"We just arrived, and we didn't ask you anything, so why are you coming over here? Who do you think you are?"
The fact that Yumu's companion dared to instigate him to escape suggests that he himself must be a person who dares to speak and act.
Villager Jia was furious and got up to argue with his companion, Yu Mu. These days, more and more newcomers are coming, and they really don't respect him, an old man.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shan Shu quickly stood up. "Brother, I am Shan Shu. They just arrived and don't know. The lord asked me to take care of them."
"Fir trees! Do you work for the territory? To eat here, you must work for the territory."
Villager A looked at the familiar cedar tree. If the cedar tree hadn't just mentioned the lord, he would have definitely taught this newcomer a lesson.
"Yes, we just came from the mines. We don't work for the territory, so we don't dare to come here to eat."
Hearing this, Elmwood's companion became even more displeased, and he looked at Villager A again.
"You come here to eat, but what work do you do for the territory?"
This question made Villager A a little flustered. He happened to be off work today, but he had been working every day before.
He glared at the ungrateful fellow. "Whether I work or not is none of your business. You're just a stupid newbie."
"Then I'll eat here, what's it to you?" Elmwood's companion was equally stubborn and wouldn't back down.
Seeing that the conversation between the two sides was getting out of control, Sugiki quickly stepped between them.
The commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, who all looked on with curiosity.
Even Ed, who was in the private room, sensed something unusual about what was happening outside.
"Adelaide, go see what's going on outside?" It was so noisy just now, and now it's so quiet.
Adelaide returned to the private room shortly afterward.
"Master, outside a villager and a newly arrived worker are standing face to face, looking at each other with unspeakable affection in their eyes, while the cedar tree stands between them, as if preventing them from getting closer."
Ed looked at Adelaide, thinking to himself, "What kind of description is this? I don't understand it at all."
"Is that so, Adelaide?"
"Yes, Master, you can go out and see for yourself if you don't believe me."
Adelaide lied to Ed; the two outside weren't gazing at each other affectionately at all. Instead, they were wrestling. Cedar and the others tried to break them up, and thankfully, there were enough people to quickly separate them.
Ed walked over; he still held considerable authority in Grayhold, and the matter was quickly clarified.
Ed didn't say much, but after glancing at the newcomer, he asked:
"May I have your name?"
"My lord, my name is Orange Dragon Smith."
