Eric, realizing that she was running out of strength, felt a tinge of guilt. We didn't know you were coming. Had we known in advance, we would surely have found a way to clear a path first, making it easier for you to traverse. But Miss Rowland, don't worry. This road is only in such a state on rainy days.

This company was called Sparkle Rocks. It mainly dealt with the production of jadeite and jade, and occasionally supplied raw stones to those stone gambling dens.

Thea had visited the other factories. Most of them were closer to the urban area, but this particular factory was surprisingly

During the journey, she had gained a much deeper understanding of the inconvenient transportation.
