The peaceful night passed. The next day, after checking that Big Mouth’s condition had returned to normal, Lugh set off for Village Chief Eddie’s mansion.
After bidding farewell to his father and the villagers, Village Chief Eddie brought Lugh and Austin through the courier station and arrived at Fangshi Village, which was not far from Iron Cloud Village.
As soon as Lugh and the others arrived at the entrance of Fangshi Village, it was already bustling with activity. Peddlers were everywhere. They were peddlers who had heard about the competition from outside and were here to earn small profits.
The venue of the competition was decided by the rotation system. This time, it was Fangshi Village’s turn to hold the competition.
There were already people waiting for Village Chief Eddie and the others to arrive at the entrance of the village. The moment they saw Village Chief Eddie appear.
A plump middle-aged man walked forward with a beaming smile on his face. Behind him were two beautiful handmaidens.
“Eddie, you’ve made me wait for a long time. You’ve finally arrived.”
Due to the hot weather, the middle-aged man took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his head. He extended his right hand to welcome Eddie and the others,
“Andy, just ask your subordinates to handle this matter. Why do you have to personally go out to welcome us?” Eddie held Andy’s hand and said with a smile.
“Eddie, don’t treat me as an outsider. I believe the two people behind you are the genius representatives of your village.”
Andy withdrew his hand and looked at Lugh and Austin behind Eddie with a smile.
“Lugh, Austin, this is the village chief of Fangshi Village, Andy. Why aren’t you greeting him?” Eddie asked the two of them to bow.
“Lugh (Austin) greets Village Chief Andy!” the two of them said in unison.
“Mm. Eddie, follow me. The others are already in position. You’re the only ones left.”
Andy nodded kindly to Lugh and the others, then led them to the venue where the competition would be held in the village.
As Andy led the way for Eddie and the others, the villagers by the roadside greeted Village Chief Andy warmly. It was obvious that Andy was very well-liked in the village.
Such a situation was rare. Beast Masters’ society mostly interacted with benefits. The position of village chief was merely sent by the Imperial Court to manage and supervise. People like Andy, who were sincerely respected by the villagers, were very rare.
Looking at the slightly puzzled Lugh, Austin turned to him and whispered to him quietly.
“Fangshi Village experienced the invasion of berserk source beasts a few years ago. At that time, Andy had just taken over the position of village chief. He organized the villagers to stand firm while waiting for reinforcements. He sacrificed one of his main source beasts to protect the villagers. From then on, Andy’s prestige in the village became very high, and he gained the hearts of the people.
After Lugh nodded to express his understanding, he shifted his gaze to Andy, who was chatting happily with Eddie, and revealed a trace of respect. Towards Andy’s deeds, Lugh felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
As if he had noticed Lugh’s gaze, Andy turned around and revealed an amiable smile to Lugh.
Under Andy’s lead, Eddie and the others quickly arrived at the venue of the competition. The venue of the competition was a colosseum. It was no different from the colosseum in the Iron Cloud Village. The only difference was that the size of the venue was larger than that in the Iron Cloud Village.
However, Andy did not directly lead them into the colosseum. Instead, he walked into the luxurious inn next to the colosseum.
The interior of the inn was very luxurious. Eddie and the others followed Andy straight up to the third floor. The hall on the third floor was large enough to accommodate a gathering of a hundred people. There were tables, bowls, and dishes placed in the hall. It was clear that a banquet was being held.
Most of the tables were already filled with people. Looking around, there were about thirty to forty people in the hall. They were all young people around the same age as Lugh.
At the main and guest table, there were the village chiefs of the other host villages, as well as the representatives of the geniuses from the respective villages.
“Come, Eddie. I paid out of my own pocket today. Before the start of the competition, I did my best as a host and specially organized this banquet. However, the facilities in the village are simple and crude. There are only some common dishes. Please forgive me.”
Andy pulled Eddie’s sleeve and led him to an empty seat at the main table before sitting down.
“It’s not strange, it’s not strange. Thanks to Village Chief’s hospitality today, I’ll thank you in advance.” Eddie hurriedly opened his mouth to express his gratitude. The other party had given him sufficient etiquette, so as a guest, Eddie naturally gave him the same level of friendliness and respect.
“Eddie, today you’re the last one among us to arrive. Later, you’ll have to punish yourself with a cup.”
The one who spoke was a thin middle-aged man. The man’s eyes were deeply sunken, and he looked somewhat gloomy and cold. When he saw Eddie, who had arrived late, he revealed a smile.
