As the blizzard descended upon them, Ethan and Shadow Elf found themselves trapped within the inn, unable to venture outside.
Over the course of the next two days, the two of them discreetly gathered information about the inn's guests.
The majority of the inn's occupants were adventurers.
Some had faced immense dangers within the Glacial Peaks on previous journeys, while others were experiencing it for the first time.
A common thread among them all was a sense of unease regarding the peculiar nature of this blizzard.
One seasoned adventurer, who had crossed the Glacial Peaks multiple times, cryptically addressed those around him.
"Don't be fooled by the calm demeanor of the local residents here. This blizzard is far from ordinary. The blizzards in Glacial Peaks have always followed a strict pattern. Under normal circumstances, a blizzard at this time is highly unusual. I believe it might be an ominous sign of something terrible about to happen."
