What Year Is Today?(2)

In that frozen wilderness, there was no concept of day or night. The sun never stopped shining, bathing the glaciers and snow in its eternal light. This created an expansive and dazzling white world that could momentarily overwhelm and mesmerize anyone who beheld it.

"Lord, do you think they'll come back?" Anina asked with boredom, using her large sword to scrape the snow on the ground.

Ji Chen smiled and, to be honest, he didn't know either. However, in order to make them let down their guard, he had no choice but to do this.

After about half a day, when he was beginning to doubt if the elves would return, more than ten figures appeared in the distance, striding briskly toward them.

It was the same group of elves as before, with Arlin taking the lead. She glanced at Ji Chen with a cautious expression.

"Elder said I should take you to the village, but you can only bring ten guards with you."

Ji Chen nodded with a smile. "Of course."
