First Wave of Witnesses

‘There's a lot of things I wish to say, but Steward Lewis looks like he wants to ask me a lot of questions, so there’s only one thing I can do for now,’ Ryan thought.

“Welcome to Stonefall Village everyone. We are happy to have all of you come here,” Ryan said with a grin. “I know that my Merchant Herbert has only hired you for only a short duration of ten days, but it is simply a trial. Things can change depending on the results of this trial.”

“Trial…?” one of the newcomers asked. This was something that Merchant Herbert hadn't told them.

“Yes. A trial to see how each one of you will acclimate here in Stonefall Village.” Ryan nodded. “Currently it is at a point of great transformation. We are entering a new era, and thus, if you are all able to fit in and find your place here, then you will be among the first who will get to witness the changes in this village.”

Merchant Herbert blinked at the sudden words. Although he was shocked, he kept his expression neutral.
