"Morey hasn't come in a long time," Roman said to Seth.
To be precise, more than a hundred days have passed again.
Since the merchant left in the autumn, he hasn't appeared in Sige Town.
Seth replied, "Maybe something delayed him."
For a merchant, a delay of one or two months is not a big deal.
But winter is almost over, and still no sign of him.
He probably encountered bigger troubles, making it impossible to break free.
With high mountains and long roads, and cut-off transportation, it's unknown whether Morry is alive or dead.
Roman can only wait quietly for news.
Now his reach doesn't extend to lands thousands of miles away, only barely to Kant Territory a hundred miles away.
During this time,
Roman started major construction, building over five hundred empty brick houses waiting for slaves to move in.
The roads for salt, iron, and coal routes have been completed.
He also renovated the blacksmith's shed and the wood factory.
