Durin's countryside was beautiful.
Especially the area they were in, any random spot could become a picturesque scene.
And compared to when they first arrived in January, now approaching March, Durin's temperature was much higher than Swallow City. Everywhere was filled with lush green, like Monet's paintings.
Unfortunately, Brandon Piers was not in the mood to appreciate this easily accessible beauty.
He was in a bad mood.
Compared to a month ago, this was the first time he felt a sense of confusion.
When he was on the island, he was convinced that this time he could find Abigail.
When people don't hold hope for something, the level of expectation is low and setbacks are relatively easier to accept. When he was in Australia, he knew very well that Jeffrey Foster wouldn't let him find them so easily. So, although that time was hard, he still hadn't found Abigail's whereabouts. He was downcast but not as much as now.
