Broughton

"So …. This is Broughton?" Helena murmured. She swallowed nervously, looking around. She appeared disappointed with the environment.

Unlike Erast, where it only snowed a few times in winter, Broughton would remain cold throughout the year, as there were areas that remained snowy even during the summer in Erast. Currently, in front of them, from right to left, there were only piles of snow everywhere.

"I've heard that it's cold here, with its poor life. But I didn't expect the place to be so depressing when seen firsthand," Helena said, holding her breath, trying to calm her uncomfortable thoughts.

Not hearing Ethan's response, Helena turned around. To her surprise, she found Ethan gazing around with sparkling eyes.

"Hey!" Helena pinched Ethan, causing him to yelp.

"Ouch! That hurt!" he protested.

"You made me talk to myself!" Helena scolded.

"Sorry, I haven't seen a pleasant place like this in a long time," Ethan apologized.
