Chapter 460 458-The Legend of the White King

On the road from the Shadow Clan's territory to the Glacial Peaks, Ethan and the Shadow Elf were making their way at a leisurely pace.

They weren't in any rush, knowing that adequate preparation was essential before venturing into the Glacial Peaks.

The Glacial Peaks, a massive mountain range, stands as a formidable barrier between the Frost Domain and the Realm of the Gods.

The peaks soar sky-high, with the tallest almost piercing into the domain where deities dwell.

No adventurer or explorer has ever reached the summit of the Glacial Peaks.

It's commonly known that life is virtually impossible at such altitudes, making the existence of anything magical equally improbable.

On their journey to the Glacial Peaks, Ethan knew they needed to gather ample supplies to keep warm.

Traversing the Glacial Peaks meant crossing extremely high mountains.

The temperatures atop these towering peaks were perilously low, and numerous dangerous monsters lurked.

Should these monsters attack Ethan and the Shadow Elf, they would have to retaliate without succumbing to the deadly cold.

As a being purely crafted from the Power of Shadow, the Shadow Elf inherently possessed a strong resistance to cold.

After all, the Power of Shadow itself carried a certain attribute of coldness.Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

However, Ethan, being human, did not have such a high resistance to cold.

Though he had refused Sherry's offer of assistance, he still needed warm supplies.

Passing through a human town, Ethan paused to purchase some very warm clothing.

At this moment, the Shadow Elf observed the humans around him.

In his eyes, there was scarcely any significant difference between humans and the people of the Shadow Clan.

He voiced his confusion to Ethan, saying, "I really don't understand why there's such great hostility between humans and the Shadow Clan. The differences between you and the Shadow Clan's people are minimal."

"The only difference is their fondness for using the Power of Shadow, which you don't share. In my view, the Power of Holy Light or Primordial Light that you use isn't much different from the Power of Shadow."

In response to the Shadow Elf's inquiry, Ethan replied with a smile, "The hostility between us isn't really due to the different powers we wield. The conflict between humans and the Shadow Clan is merely a struggle for resources. Haven't you noticed that the lands we've passed are all cultivated with crops?"

"Clearly, it's just a poorly fabricated legend by humans. Don't be deceived!"

The Shadow Elf's understanding of humans was limited, and his opinions were based solely on the legend of the White King as told by Ethan.

Ethan knew very well that the legend of the White King was more than just a tale, having once summoned one of the White King's knights using the legend itself.

The knight possessed immense power over ice, suggesting that the White King's own ice powers were extraordinarily formidable.

Ethan often thought that the White King might actually be the deity of ice, merely appearing in human form.

"Perhaps you are right, maybe all of this is just a fabrication by humans. However, I think we can't easily conclude whether it's true or false right now. "

"Only by reaching the fortress of the White King can we determine the veracity of these tales. Once there, you are free to mock me as much as you want, after all, I am also a human," Ethan said in a calm tone, feeling no need to argue with the Shadow Elf over this matter.

The Shadow Elf's statements were merely his speculations, not much different from Ethan's recounting of the White King legend.

The Shadow Elf nodded in agreement with Ethan's words.

Although he still didn't believe in the legend of the White King, he was eager to visit the White King's fortress.

After all, in the Shadow Elf's eyes, the fortress of the White King was undoubtedly a human construction.

Up to now, he had only seen the towns built by humans, never witnessing any grand structures they had created.

The Shadow Elf had only heard from Ethan about the vast towns built by humans.

The great bridges over rivers and towns almost suspended between mountains were all novelties to him.

"In that case, let's press on," the Shadow Elf urged.

"We've already wasted two or three days here. Haven't you gathered enough supplies to keep warm? Have you considered obtaining sufficient supplies from the Shadow Clan's territory? I believe Sherry, the High Priest, would have been willing to help you."

Faced with the Shadow Elf's inquiry, Ethan felt a bit embarrassed.

Indeed, he regretted not accepting Sherry's help earlier, knowing now the situation he found himself in.

But regret was futile at this stage, so Ethan decided to put the past behind him.

"Alright, I'm ready. Let's move forward. We must cross the Glacial Peaks before the next storm hits!"
