A week later, Border Toelcoiant blizzard

Roland gazed out of his officeat the dark figures on the snowy rooftops—these were the townspeople carrying out their daily task of shoveling away the snow on their rooftops, so their houses wouldn't collapse under the weight

This dayin this world, but last year's fall was not nearly this cold, and his view from this as not nearly this orderly

At that time, the toas practically a wasteland Besides a few decent wooden houses around the square, there were only shabby clay huts and straw shacks Most of the nobilities lived near the square, from which the only stone road led to the castle Otherwise, there was not a single inch of clean ground in the entire town, and everything reeked of the faeces of human and livestock

Now, all the roads here were built from cement pavement, and even the uncovered roads were expertly packed solid Dark lines separated the town into various sections, with the two sides of the main road reserved as a co areas as residential complexes

”Sure” Roland nodded ”Be careful”

”Don't worry They can't touch me”

He felt a slight warmth on his cheek, and the voice disappeared
