Wrong Adversary
The innkeeper's words initially brought a slight sense of relief to those present, as it appeared that Prophet Magus had finally unearthed some clues.
However, the innkeeper's subsequent remarks left the guests feeling increasingly anxious.
"While it is true that the cloaked figure stayed at the inn, he left before the blizzard arrived," the innkeeper explained.
"But what if he didn't truly depart and has been hiding within the inn all along? Is it possible that he's lurking in the shadows, plotting an attack against us? Should we bolster our defenses? We have no means of escaping from here, and as the blizzard intensifies, seeking help from the outside world becomes an increasingly distant possibility."
Upon hearing the innkeeper's words, Ethan turned his gaze towards the window.
He could see that the blizzard outside was growing increasingly fierce, and within the raging storm, the creatures' strength seemed to be intensifying.
