The snow fell for a full day and night, turning Mountain Forest Town into a world draped in silver.
Ronin stood atop the tower, gazing into the distance. The mountains, too, were covered in a thick layer of snow, as if draped with a pristine white carpet.
'So this is the awkward situation of being trapped in the mountains.'
The heavy snow had sealed off the mountains. It would be incredibly difficult for anyone living here to leave in this weather.
First of all, the mountain roads were already treacherous. Buried under the snow, their conditions were impossible to see. Ordinary horses would be useless. Perhaps only Ronin's Cloud Stepper could even attempt it, but even then, its pace would surely be slow.
If they were short on food and clothing, and the snow kept falling, this winter would be a harsh one.
Fortunately, the sun was already up. He believed it would only take a few days to melt the snow on the roads, so his trip to Wushan Castle wouldn't be delayed.
