When Rose and He'Er emerged from the crowded cabin onto the Land of Golden, months had passed, and this simple gulf once belonging to the Ogre Tribe had now transformed into something entirely different.
Natural harbor was almost filled with ships, with merchant vessels being loaded, and due to a shortage of labor for moving goods, even some privately armed forces with family crests on their leather armor joined in the effort.
Bundles of exquisite beast hides were casually tossed onto the decks of the merchant ships, then carried into the cabins by the shipworkers.
Crates of agate, conch, gemstones—resources once monopolized by the ogres and unable to be used—were gathered and sent onto the ships.
And those rare minerals like gold, silver mine, refined gold, cold iron, mithril, etc., still needed workshops set up on site, to undergo simple smelting and processing before being loaded onto merchant ships and sent to the Imperial.
