"Gibson No More!" said:Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I don't think they'll be reaching Elfhelm by the end of this episode. As a matter of fact, we might very well be at the start of a 5+ volume "At Sea" arc; they'll get into trouble at sea, get lost, crash land on mysterous islands, and have more adventures. Enjoy the boat ride, I know I'm looking forward to a long, hard journey. =)
Well, why not? If getting to Elfhelm is so important, then the long struggle to get there will make it all the more sweeter.... like eating a scrumptious chocolate pudding after 48 hours without food.
Still, in 5+ volumes, what's that more than 3 years? That'd be testing my patience a bit.
