Snow filled the sky. As their injuries slowly improved, Shane, Ryan, and the others sat on their two-horned warhorses, relaxed and chatting.
Ford, the Deputy City Lord of the Ice City settlement, walked at the head of the group. An unseen aura around him kept the snow from landing on him.
Ethan kept scanning the area now and then, but most of his attention was on Ford.
Ford could sense his gaze, so Ethan changed tactics, letting his eyes drift and look around Ford instead. That way, he could greatly lower the chance of being noticed.
If Ethan were level 20 now, he would meet the requirement to use [Ice Calamity Intel].
He would use it right away to get more information.
Unfortunately, he was only level 17, so he couldn't use [Ice Calamity Intel] at all.
So, with only guesses to go on, Ethan could only wait and see what Ford would do.
As they got closer to the Ice City settlement, Ford did nothing unusual and kept leading at the front of the group.
