After Ronin met briefly with the village heads and group leaders, he left the execution and supervision of his orders to Wilson.
He then went to Carlos's blacksmith shop, accompanied by Chahar and Gallon, to get a good look at the newly-crafted Curved Plow.
The blacksmith shop was as messy as his last visit. Broken bone implements, pottery, and stone tools were strewn about everywhere. The only clear space was a patch in the center where the finished Curved Plow had been placed.
If Chahar hadn't given him advance notice that the Lord was coming for an inspection today, Carlos probably wouldn't have bothered to clear even that small space.
"Lord, you're finally here!"
Carlos and his son, Baal, hurried over to greet them from a distance. "We finished assembling the Curved Plow yesterday," he said. "We were just waiting for you to come test it out!"
"You've worked hard, Carlos."
Ronin kept an amiable smile on his face. "I'm also quite eager to see your results. Come, show me."
