"A dwarf?" Leech asked, looking at the half-height man.
"My name is Fla, a dwarf carpenter," the man said, seemingly long used to being looked down upon. "Lord, only people with a special status were allowed to survive on this ship."
"'I suppose so,'" Leech said with a nod. Then he asked, "Where is your home, Fla?"
"Golden Wheat Field."
"That's a bountiful land." Leech raised an eyebrow. It was located in the center of Lu Leiyi, not far from the capital, and its lord was the current King.
But what surprised Leech even more was that the place was landlocked. 'How did this guy get captured and brought onto a ship?'
The dwarf carpenter seemed to guess Leech's thoughts and explained, "Because of my stature, it was hard to find steady work back home. So I thought I'd try my luck in other cities, and then..."
Leech nodded in understanding. People with disabilities were bound to face discrimination everywhere. Fortunately, Fla had a valuable skill.
