FLTL Ch 71. Unseasoned Logs

Taniok gave a thoughtful nod. "I realize that, milord. Ideally, we should have left the logs to season them for at least a year, so that they would dry properly and thus they'd last much longer. Bu...

FLTL Ch 70. New Ideas

A few hours later, around noon, when Kivamus was talking with others, a servant entered the manor hall.

FLTL Ch 67. Safety In Anonymity

Feroy gave a shrug. "It wouldn't really make a difference, I’d say. We are also using the three wagons from Pydas along with the horses to pull them. If we decided to do everything ourselv...

Pinoto continued, "After we move the logs away from the stump, we could simply burn them to clear the area faster."

FLTL Ch 60. Isuha

The shop owner shook his head immediately. "No, as you can see, I'm the only one who works here. But you might want to ask in the other seamstress' shop, a few doors ahead in the alley."

FLTL Ch 59. Cinran Market

The guard captain explained, "In case of a bandit raid, it would make it much easier for us to respond if we had wide, straight roads in the village. In that case we could even ride on horses to th...

"No, that's not what I meant," Kivamus said. "We already ha...

FLTL Ch 55. Journey

Soon, Cedoron walked towards them. After a quick bow, he said, "I have brought the axes I have made today." When Kivamus gazed at his empty hands, he explain...

FLTL Chapter 53. Seed Drill

FLTL Chapter 52. Yields

The ex-farmer walked a little ahead and bent down to the ground near the trees. Picking up a small amount of dirt in his hand, he crushed it, watching it carefully. With a nod to himself, he got up...

FLTL Chapter 51. Pinoto
