At the beginning of the second month of winter, Barov walked into Roland's office, carrying a stack of books under his arms.
As he walked up to Roland's table, a huge color painting on the table caught his attention. "Is this... a map of the entire Western Region?"
"Not just the Western Region," Roland said, laughing. "It also includes a portion of the Barbarian Land and the Misty Forest, especially this space over here." He pointed to an area in the northern part of the Impassable Mountain Range—it was the Fertile Plains that Agatha had talked about. "At present, the area that we've already discovered is equivalent to three Western Regions. If we manage to cultivate the land of this large space, we can resettle hundreds of thousands of people."
