Chapter 0152: Maple Town
Nock dragged his broken leg and crawled to the corpses brought by the white ghost, and took off the clothes of the dead.
Although this is very disrespectful to the deceased, there is no way, and Nock needs to make sure that he and Leo can live.
You can only desecrate the corpse.
"Merciful Holy Lord, my servant Nock Lane has blasphemed the dignity of the deceased today for the sake of his life, and I hope that the merciful Lord will forgive me for my sins, and I pray for the deceased to return to the kingdom of God of the Holy Lord as soon as possible, Amen."
Nock dragged his heavy laundry back to Leo's side.
It's just that looking at Leo, who was pushed by icicles thirty centimeters above the ground, he was a little embarrassed.
He had to wrap all his legs in a fur coat to keep him warm.
Then, enduring the pain, he knelt in the snow and wrapped Leo's feet in other clothes.
The whole process was done carefully, for fear of breaking Leo's leg as well.
He then covers Leo's body with two fur coats to keep him as warm as possible.
Then he knelt down in front of Leo's head alone, with the rest of his clothes and his own body, and supported a tent for Leo's head to protect him from the cold.
In this way, Nock knelt in the cold spring wind until he lost consciousness.
……
When Nock opened his eyes again, he saw the wooden ceiling, the warm room, and the simple furnishings, and Leo's surprised face.
Nock knew they were saved.
Looking at Nock who woke up and fell asleep, Leo was surprised and delighted.
Hurry out and ask the owner of the place to help you get the priest.
It's been five days since they met the white ghost.
When Leo wakes up in the snow and finds out that he is still alive, he doesn't know how happy he is.
It's just that when he carefully looked at the environment, happiness turned into worry.
He found himself still in the snow, which made him uneasy.
He believed that Nock would not have been able to throw him in the snow, and that even if he died, he would at least collect his body.
So, something might have happened to Nock!
Leo struggled to the ground, only to find Nock frozen behind him.
This made Leo panic, and he trembled and probed Nock's snort with his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was still alive.
But Nock's red and cold body tells Leo that if Nock can't be treated in time, he'll die!
But Leo found that he had lost sensation in his legs, and even with clothes to keep him warm, he was still frostbitten.
Fortunately, he still has a killer feature.
He summoned the earth-walking dragon Ukao, had him and Nock on the dragon's back, and then led the two out of the snow and along the riverbank.
Perhaps the two were lucky, and along the river, Ukao walked out of the forest and soon found traces of humans.
Leo didn't care to frighten the men, and urged Ucao to rush forward.
It was a caravan that was about to deliver supplies to Maple Town.
The whole team was thrown into disarray by Ukao, and the horses were frightened, either scared away or scared away.
The guards of the caravan were even more like a great enemy, and felt that great disaster was coming.
After all, they have to walk this road a hundred times a year, and it has always been safe.
Except for the wandering bandits and the small monsters that pop up from time to time, there is basically not much danger.
But Ukao is a growing earthly dragon, and there are only four dragons of the same level among the dragon knights, with a body length of seven or eight meters and a body of four meters high, and the sense of oppression is enough to scare ordinary people.
Fortunately, Leo spoke out in time and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people!" I need your help! I'll pay you! ”
Leo's shout made the caravan understand that this giant beast was a human mount, and he was relieved and let go of his defense.
However, when they saw the seriously injured Leo and the unconscious Nock, the merchant was fine, and the guards who acted as adventurers had bad thoughts, but after seeing the Earth Walking Dragon beside Leo, they dispelled their small calculations.
In this way, Leo was taken to Maple Town by the caravan with the escort of the Earth Dragon.
Maple Town is famous for its maple tree planting, and the whole town, as its name suggests, is filled with a variety of maple trees.
However, the most famous is a kind of maple tree called "Danfeng Bailu", which is said to have been planted as a tribute to the royal capital of Pali.
With Ukao's intimidation, Leo and Nock managed to reach Maple Town.
It even alarmed the mayor.
There was no way, the guards guarding the city thought it was a monster attacking the city at first, and they were so frightened that they closed the city gates.
The caravan was so bad that the mayor of the town came forward, and Leo put Ukao away in front of him, and the mayor of Maple Town believed that it was a mount.
A knight who can conquer such a powerful beast as a mount, even if he is injured, the mayor of the town is welcome.
So, under the mayor's arrangement, Leo and Nock stay at a hot spring inn in Maple Town.
At the same time, the mayor also invited the town's priest to treat the two.
At the same time, the mayor was even more shocked when he learned from the information that Leo had inadvertently leaked that such a powerful knight was actually just the retinue of the unconscious young man.
He immediately sent his guards to the countryside to bring back the priest who had gone to the countryside to bid farewell to a believer.
Let him be sure to bring people back.
However, Leo's injuries are good, and after the priest's treatment, he can barely get off the ground in just two days.
But Nock kept his fever high, and even though the priest and priest had been treated with magic for two days in a row, it still didn't improve.
Finally, the well-informed priest mentioned that there were some backward places where herbal remedies were used.
He happens to know a prescription for reducing fever and asks Leo if he wants to try it.
Leo had no choice but to decide to try.
Fortunately, Nock, who took the medicine, had a fever the next day, but he was still unconscious.
I still have nightmares at night.
But the priest said that Nock's body was fine, but he was sick, and Nock's body was frostbitten, and now although the fever has subsided, his body still needs to be cultivated.
Coupled with the torment of illness, his spirit was very weak.
After the priest tranquilizes Nock, Leo keeps an eye on him, and as long as he wakes up, he is basically fine.
So, Leo stayed for two more days, and finally saw Nock wake up, and immediately wept with joy, and hurriedly asked the innkeeper to ask the priest.
Because he knew that the old priest who could not be idle had gone to the countryside again.
In his words, he did everything he could, and the rest was up to Nock's own will to live.
If the person wakes up, his disciples will also be able to complete the follow-up treatment.
So, he himself went to the countryside again.
This time, the mayor of the town could not stand in the way of the priest's decision.
The old priest's prestige in Maple Town was not comparable to that of Nock in Tarn Village, it was the prestige accumulated over decades, and even the mayor of the town would not dare to offend him.
The priest who arrived in a hurry checked Nock's body and came to a conclusion.
The person is already fine, as for why he fell asleep, he was purely tired.
He told Leo to prepare a liquid diet so that Nok could wake up and replenish his strength, after all, he hadn't eaten for five days, and if it wasn't for the magic to maintain it, he would have starved to death.
Then, with a gold coin from Leo, he returned to the church happily.
In just five days, Leo lived like a year.
The caravan was paid twenty gold coins, and the hotel paid a deposit of ten gold coins, and the priest and priest spent twenty gold on the treatment of these days.
It can be said that if Nock doesn't wake up again, Leo doesn't know how to survive.
The hundred gold that Nock had hidden was half of it at once, and if he wanted to continue the treatment, Leo could only move out of the hotel, find a house to rent, and then work to earn money.
Otherwise, it will soon be empty.
Fortunately, now that Nock has woken up, the priest says that at most night, Nock will be fully awake.
This completely relieved Leo.
As for what the priest and the priest said about Nock's crippled leg, he was not at all worried.
Isn't it just a broken leg, it's not that it hasn't been broken, it's not a big deal.
Originally, if Leo had revealed Nock's identity, the priest would definitely not accept them for a consultation, and would even take Nock to live in the church.
However, Leo understands that although Nock and he have the identity of the village of Tarn, Nock himself still does not have the identity recognized by the church.
Rashly saying that Nock is a priest, in case the old priest asks for proof, it will be troublesome if he can't show it.
He's not a nock, and he doesn't know how to deal with church people.
Moreover, the old priest has a special status, and it can be said that he is a universal response in this part of Maple Town, and even the mayor of the town is respectful to the old priest.
That's respect from the heart, and Leo can't be mistaken.
Of course, in the past five days, there were many people who came to visit Leo, but they were all rejected by Leo.
Those were the rich merchants and petty nobles who felt that Nok would not survive and planned to recruit Leo.
They only heard about Leo's strength, and they had never seen the appearance of the Earth Walking Dragon, and they didn't even believe the rumors about the Earth Walking Dragon.
Mayor Mare turns a blind eye to their stupidity, and even recklessly offends Leo.
In case Nock really has three longs and two shorts, an angry strong man, it is enough to make those rich and small nobles who usually disobey the mayor of the town unable to eat and walk around.
Fortunately, those people are not too stupid, and after learning that Leo spent fifty gold coins in five days of lavish spending, he knew that Leo's identity was not simple.
An entourage can come up with expenses that make them all feel distressed, and what a noble identity the unwielding master of the retinue must be!
That's right, it wasn't Leo who shook the hearts of these people.
It was the unconscious Nock that made them feel jealous.
They decided to wait and see.
If Nock is not saved, they will come forward to recruit Leo.
A master who can make a team of adventurers fearful, and he is also a rare thug in a small town, and they will not let it go.
They didn't think about whether Leo would take a fancy to them.
