Chapter 461 -459-An Inopportune Moment
After two days of traveling along the main road, Ethan and the Shadow Elf finally reached a human town at the foot of the Glacial Peaks, just before the next snowstorm was due to arrive.
However, they received some distressing news upon their arrival: the next snowstorm was set to hit as early as tomorrow.
They would have to wait out the storm before they could continue towards the Glacial Peaks.
Venturing into the Glacial Peaks during the storm would almost certainly spell doom for them, given the ferocity of the snowstorms there.
"It seems we’ll have to stay in this town for about a week. We can use this time to gather more warm supplies. This isn’t necessarily bad news for us," Ethan said, remaining optimistic.
He felt that the warm supplies he had previously purchased were not sufficient, and this stay would allow him to stock up further.
The Shadow Elf, however, wasn’t as optimistic.
He felt they were wasting too much time.
Had Ethan prepared adequately back in the Shadow Clan’s territory, they might have already been at the summit of the Glacial Peaks by now.
"It looks like we have no other choice but to stay here. Let’s find a human inn to stay in, as we certainly can’t just stay outdoors once the snowstorm hits."
"Even as a Shadow Elf, I would freeze to death in such conditions. Though I haven’t experienced the snowstorms of the Glacial Peaks personally, I have foreseen the severity of them," the Shadow Elf conceded.
