Early June.
Kao led several thousand slaves back to Fertile City.
Roman accepted them all without exception.
He had now swept through the surrounding nobility and was not short of labor.
But since they were brought back, they shouldn't expect to leave again.
Those purchased children were also of great use, all possessing malleability, they accepted education and cultivated loyalty, and would become the pillars of the future.
Of course, this process was a very lengthy one.
Roman was naturally willing to wait.
Kao temporarily resided in Fertile Castle, and Sanna settled down as well.
Both of them had something to say to him. The former believed the Black Iron King was but a skeleton in the tomb, while the latter brought intelligence on Iota Hina.
News from afar was both important and unimportant. It would affect the future, yet the future was still out of reach.
Before the future arrives, Roman could only try his best to develop.
