Departure 7/12

(This morning, I managed to catch the first batch of freshly baked bread on my way out. So happy—one extra chapter.)

"If you give it to a messenger, I'm afraid I'll have been there for over ten days before they arrive."

Bai Ye naturally knew just how underdeveloped communications were in this world. Everyday correspondence relied on messengers, while military intelligence and other important information were sent through transmission stations.

Nearl nodded and set
