"I suppose using wood doesn't make much sense, but it has its uses." Elder Samuel murmured. "The village occasionally needs to be expanded and having a wooden perimeter allows for us to expand much quicker."
Serena could see the logic in that. It was easier to tear down a wooden wall and expand further into the forest before rebuilding the wall back up.
Not to mention, it would take less time lowering the risks of danger getting into the village. But even then, it did lead to more questions.
"Why not just expand the village by a much wider radius to account for future growth?" Serena asked. "Surely that would be much easier than constantly tearing down and rebuilding the perimeter. You'd be able to build a much better perimeter too."
"If only it were that simple." Elder Samuel sighed. "Big development tends to attract a lot of…. attention."
