Dragging his broken leg, Nok crawled to the corpses brought by the White Ghost and took off the clothes of the deceased.
Although this approach was very disrespectful to the deceased, there was no other way. Nok needed to ensure that he and Leo could survive.
One can only desecrate the body.
"My merciful Holy Lord, my servant Nok Lane insulted the dignity of the deceased in order to survive today. I hope that the merciful Holy Lord can forgive my crime. I hereby pray for the deceased and pray that they will return to the Kingdom of the Holy Lord as soon as possible. ,Amen."
Nok dragged his heavy clothes back to Leo's side.
However, looking at Leo who was pushed thirty centimeters above the ground by the icicle, he was a little confused.
He could only wrap his legs in a fur coat to keep warm.
Then he endured the pain, knelt in the snow, and wrapped Leo's feet on the ground with other clothes.
The whole process was done carefully, for fear of breaking Leo's leg.
Then, he covered Leo's body with two fur coats to keep him as warm as possible.
Then he knelt in front of Leo's head alone, taking the remaining clothes with him, and used the remaining clothes and his body to prop up a tent for Leo's head to block the cold air.
In this way, Nok knelt in the cold spring wind until he lost consciousness.
…
When Nok opened his eyes again, what he saw was a wooden ceiling, a warm room, and simple furnishings, and Leo had a surprised face.
Knock knew they were saved.
Looking at Nok who fell asleep after waking up, Leo was surprised and happy.
He hurried out and asked the owner here to help him find a priest.
Five days had passed since they met the white ghost.
When Leo woke up in the snow and found that he was still alive, he didn't know how happy he was.
However, when he took a closer look at the environment, his happiness turned into worry.
He found himself still in the snow, which made him uneasy.
He believed that Nok would not throw him in the snow. Even if he died, he would at least collect his body.
So something might have happened to Nok!
Leo, who came to this conclusion, struggled to the ground, only to find Nok frozen behind him.
This made Leo panic. He probed Nok's nose with trembling hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was still alive.
But Nok's red and cold body told Leo that Nok would die if he couldn't get treatment in time!
But Leo found that he also lost feeling in his legs. Even if he had clothes to keep him warm, he still suffered from frostbite.
Fortunately, he still has a trump card.
He summoned the earth dragon Ukao, and asked Ukao to carry him and Nok onto the dragon's back, and then led the two of them out of the snow and along the river bank.
Perhaps the two of them were lucky. Along the river, Ukao walked out of the forest and soon discovered traces of humans.
Leo didn't care about scaring those people and urged Ukao to rush forward.
It was a caravan that was about to transport supplies to Maple Town.
The entire team was thrown into chaos by Ukao's charge. The horses were frightened and either ran away or collapsed.
The caravan's guards felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and felt that a disaster was imminent.
After all, they walked this road hundreds of times a year, and it was always considered safe.
Except for the wandering bandits and small monsters that pop up from time to time, there is basically no big danger.
But Ukao is a growing earth dragon, and among the dragon knights there are only four of the same level. With a body length of seven to eight meters and a height of four meters, the pressure is enough to scare ordinary people to the point of peeing.
Fortunately, Leo spoke up in time and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people! I need your help! I will pay you!"
Leo's shout made the caravan understand that this giant beast was a human mount, and they breathed a sigh of relief and let down a lot of their guard.
However, when they saw the seriously injured Leo and the unconscious Nok, the merchant was okay, but the guards who acted as adventurers had bad thoughts. However, when they saw the Earthly Dragon Queen guarding Leo, they I gave up my little calculation in my mind.
In this way, Leo was brought to Maple Town by the caravan, relying on the escort of the Earthly Dragon.
Maple Town is famous for planting maple trees. As its name suggests, the entire town is filled with various maple trees.
But the most famous one is a maple tree called "Danfeng Bailu". It is said that it was used as a tribute and planted in the royal capital of Pali.
With Ukao's shock, Leo and Nok successfully arrived in 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 were so frightened that they closed the city gates.
The caravan persuaded the mayor to come forward, and Leo put Ukao away in person. Only then did the mayor of Maple Town believe that it was a mount.
A knight who can conquer such a powerful monster as a mount will be welcomed by the mayor even if he is injured.
So, under the arrangement of the mayor, Leo and Nok checked into the hot spring hotel in Maple Town.
At the same time, the mayor also invited the town's priest to treat the two people.
At the same time, the mayor was even more shocked when he learned from the information that Leo accidentally leaked that such a powerful knight was just a follower of the unconscious young man.
He immediately sent out his escort and rushed to the countryside to bring back the priest who had gone to the countryside to say farewell to a believer.
Let him save the people.
However, Leo's injury was not bad. After the priest's treatment, he was able to get off the ground in just two days.
But Nok's fever persisted. Even though the priest and priest used magical treatments for two consecutive days, there was still no improvement.
Finally, the knowledgeable priest mentioned that there were once some backward places where herbal medicine was used to treat diseases.
He happened to know a prescription for reducing fever and asked Leo if he wanted to try it.
Leo had no other choice and decided to try.
Fortunately, Nok's fever subsided the next day after taking the medicine, but he was still unconscious.
I still have nightmares at night.
But the priest said that Nok's body was fine, but he was seriously ill. Nok's body was frostbitten. Although the fever has gone away, his body still needs to be recuperated.
Coupled with the torture of illness, his spirit was very weak.
The priest performed a tranquilizing operation on Nok and asked Leo to pay attention. As long as the person wakes up, it will basically be fine.
So, Leo stayed on guard for another two days and finally saw Nok waking up. He immediately cried with joy and quickly asked the hotel clerk to ask for a priest.
Because he knew that the restless old priest had gone to the countryside again.
In his words, he has done everything he can, and the rest depends on Nok's own will to survive.
If the person wakes up, his disciples can also complete the subsequent treatment.
So, he himself went to the countryside again.
This time, the mayor couldn't stop the priest's decision.
The old priest's prestige in Maple Town was not comparable to that of Nok in Tarn Village. It was a prestige accumulated over decades. Even the mayor did not dare to offend him.
The priest who hurried over examined Nok's body and came to a conclusion.
He was already fine. As for why he fell asleep, it was just because he was tired.
He asked Leo to prepare liquid food so that Nok could replenish his strength when he woke up. After all, he had not eaten for five days and would have starved to death if it were not for the maintenance of magic.
Then, he happily returned to the church with a gold coin given by Leo for the consultation fee.
In just five days, Leo lived like a year.
I gave the caravan 20 gold coins as a reward, paid a deposit of 10 gold coins for the hotel, and paid 20 gold coins for the priest and priest's treatment these days.
It can be said that if Nok doesn't wake up, Leo doesn't know how to survive.
Nok spent half of the hundred gold he had hidden in one go. 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, you will soon be left with nothing.
Fortunately, Nok is awake now. The pastor said that Nok will be able to fully wake up at night at most.
This made Leo completely relieved.
As for what the priest and priest said about Nok's legs being disabled, he was not worried at all.
Isn't it just a broken leg? It's not like I've never had it broken before, so it's not a big deal.
Originally, if Leo revealed Nok's identity, the priest would definitely not charge them for consultation, and would even take Nok to live in the church.
But Leo understood that although Nok and he had identification certificates from Tarn Village, Nok himself still did not have an identity certificate recognized by the church.
He rashly said that Nok was a priest. If the old priest asked for proof, he would be in trouble if he couldn't produce it.
He is not Nok, and he does not know how to deal with people from the church.
Moreover, the old priest has a special status. In Maple Town, it can be said that he responds to everything. Even the mayor treats the old priest respectfully.
That was respect from the bottom of my heart, and Leo couldn't mistake it.
Of course, in the past five days, many people came to visit Leo, but they were all rejected by Leo.
Those were the wealthy businessmen and minor nobles who thought Nok would not survive and planned to recruit Leo.
They only heard about Leo's power from hearsay. They had never seen an Earth-walking dragon, and they didn't even believe the rumors about an Earth-walking dragon.
The mayor turns a blind eye to their foolish behavior and even enjoys them offending Leo.
If there is something wrong with Nok, a violent and powerful man will be enough to make the rich and small nobles who usually defy the mayor of the town miserable.
Fortunately, those people were not too stupid. After learning that Leo spent fifty gold coins in five days, they knew that Leo's identity was not simple.
A follower can spend money that makes them all feel distressed. What a noble status must the owner of the follower who is unconscious have!
That's right, it wasn't Leo who shocked these people's hearts.
It was the unconscious Nok who made them feel afraid.
They decided to wait and see what happens.
If Nok can't be saved, they will come out to recruit Leo again.
A master who can make a team of adventurers fear him is also a rare thug in a small town, and they will not let him go.
But they didn't consider the possibility that Leo would like them.
