章節 226: New Year *

Another bright year passed by. What replaced it was a frigid one. People opened up their locked trunks and took out their old winter clothes- created from warm animal furs. The richer ones hit the market and bought whole new sets of warm apparels to live through the year.

Uropolis, the capital of the Empire, the strongest nation in the continent- was not safe by any means from the invasion of the winter. Every bright year, professional hunters coarse through the woods and mountains to kill hundreds of hibernating animals.

Their furry skins were used by the most able of craftsmen to make extravagant warm robes, sold exclusively to the nobles. The residents of the city, the richest community in the entire country, had no difficulty whatsoever to buy these clothes in bulk.
