“Phew… Thank you, my body is much better.”
As he spoke, he wanted to sit up, but his lower body could not feel anything.
“Hmm… my leg… what’s going on?”
Joelson pinched his thigh in confusion. What shocked him was that his thigh could not feel anything at all!
Joelson’s eyes widened!
“My… My thigh?”
Looking at Joelson’s shocked gaze, the young girl sighed and said.
“Your waist is broken and your lower body is paralyzed!”
When Joelson heard this terrible news, he was unable to recover.
“This…”
Looking at Joelson’s dejected and disappointed expression, the young girl immediately felt pity for him.
“Sigh, don’t be too sad. Things will turn around eventually.”
Upon hearing this, Joelson immediately reacted.
That’s right. He was not an ordinary human who had not cultivated. So what if his waist was broken? He only needed medicine to recover almost immediately. Even if Godfrey’s internal organs were damaged and all his organs were failing, he could be cured with his medicine. As long as he had medicine, Joelson would not have to be afraid of any pain.
“Yes, you’re right. Thank you, kind lady. I haven’t asked your name. What should I call you?”
Joelson rubbed his numb thigh and asked with a relaxed expression.
“My name is Elena. What’s yours?”
The girl tilted her head and asked Joelson.
“My name is Joelson, kind lady. Such a kind person like you will definitely be rewarded!”
Joelson said with a cheerful face.
Elena’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Joelson had moved on from the pain of his broken leg so quickly, she really had a good impression of this young man that she had picked up.
Such an optimistic person was really strong!
Elena did not know that Joelson had a potion that could allow him to recover quickly. For a moment, she was very impressed by Joelson’s optimism.
“By the way, why are you so brave to come down in the blizzard? Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake? When I came down before the blizzard, I experienced a few setbacks and almost fell off the cliff several times!”
Elena immediately became interested in this optimistic young man. She put down the kettle and sat beside Joelson.
Joelson raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl with a self-mocking expression.
“So, you see, this is the result of being arrogant and blindly confident. See!”
Joelson patted his unconscious thigh.
“Pfft!”
Elena couldn’t hold it in and immediately giggled.
“You’re really interesting.”
Elena, who had finally stopped laughing, said helplessly.
“Ha…”
Joelson was infected by Elena’s beautiful smile and he also revealed a smile.
“Phew… When you’ve rested, we’ll set off.”
“Set off to where?”
Joelson’s eyes slanted as he looked at Elena.
“To the underground world hidden under the Wailing Abyss. This may be the place where the temperature of the land of Everwinter is the most suitable for living. Many civilizations have been born here!”
Elena said.
“The resplendent gems here are all in the hands of these underground civilizations. If you want to get them, you have to go to these civilizations to communicate with those creatures.”
“Don’t tell me you came down in a daze and don’t know anything…”
Elena glanced at Joelson who was lying on the ground.
“Heh, it’s true. I’ve learned a lot…”
Joelson sighed, thinking that he was indeed too impatient. He should have waited a little longer.
“You just said we. Don’t tell me you’re going to bring me, who is half-crippled, with you? You’d better put me in this cave and go get the resplendent gemstone yourself. Bringing me with you might drag you down.”
Joelson said kindly. His magic power had reached the bottom, and he still needed a while before he could activate his storage space to take out his healing potion. Thus, he wanted to dissuade this kind-hearted girl, Elena, from bringing him along. Although… Joelson was very reluctant to part with this kind-hearted girl. Still, he did not want to become a burden for her and disturb others.
“No, no, no, I’ll leave you here alone. What if you get eaten by a wild wolf? If that’s the case, I’ll feel so guilty that I won’t be able to sleep. You’d better go to the underground civilization with me. Maybe you can find some medicinal herbs there, which will be good for your injured leg!”
Elena said with a serious expression.
“Hmm… Alright then.”
Joelson agreed with a conflicted expression. His emotions were extremely complicated right now. On one hand, he felt guilty for troubling this kind-hearted girl in front of him. On the other hand, he was happy that he was temporarily stuck besides this girl… deep in the depths of Joelson’s heart, he was still unwilling to be separated from Elena just like that.
“I’ve almost rested. Your medicinal soup is really effective. Let’s set off as soon as possible. How about it?”
Finally, he gave in to his wish. He looked at Elena with a complicated expression.
“Alright, let’s set off now!”
Elena stood up and patted the snow on her dress. She walked to the campfire and pulled a sleigh.
“Did you use this to pull me here?”
Joelson asked when he saw the sleigh.
“Yes, that’s right!”
The girl nodded and walked over. Joelson, who could not move his lower body, was carried in the sleigh.
“No, no, I can climb up by myself.”
Joelson waved his hand and refused. He was not completely paralyzed. As he spoke, Joelson pulled himself onto the sleigh with his hand. Elena was behind him and helped him move his unconscious legs onto the sleigh.
Elena put out the bonfire, put away the kettle and cup, and also got onto the sleigh. She sat beside Joelson.
“Let’s go. Let’s go!”
Elena shouted. Then, she stretched out her hand, and snow-white magic energy appeared, driving the sleigh to move!
With a beauty beside him, a smile appeared on the corner of Joelson’s mouth as he lay on the sleigh. He looked at the iceberg above his head and felt satisfied.
I wonder how Godfrey is doing?
Joelson thought unethically in his heart.
“Master… My master, where are you…”
Godfrey trembled as he continued to search for the white snowdrift. He dug out a pile of unknown corpses, one after another, but he could not find Joelson’s corpse.
At this moment, Godfrey was at the bottom of the valley, frantically searching for Joelson’s “corpse.” Meanwhile, Joelson, whom Godfrey wanted to find, was sitting comfortably on the beauty’s sleigh, starting a new adventure.
