Koda’s legs were currently completely unable to move.
Although they were not paralyzed, the effect was much the same, and he did not want to explain anything to this shrewd man.
“That’s right.
Just now, my legs were grazed by the Spirit Nose Beast’s tongue.
Since I have the Water Control Divine Art, I’ve already treated the wound.
However, the toxin is contained in my legs and can’t be expelled.
I probably won’t be able to move my lower body for the next couple of days, so I’ll have to rely on your help to get around.”
That was not the reason Koda’s legs could not move at all, but to avoid arousing the President’s suspicion, he could only explain it this way.
“Young hero, what are you saying?
If it were not for you, we would have certainly suffered heavy losses this time.
That thief has been famous in the Earth Kingdom for a long time, relying on the speed of the Spirit Nose Beast to plunder everywhere.
Even Earthbending Grandmasters can do nothing against her.
Now that she has suffered a setback at your hands, I imagine she won’t let you off in the near future.”
“If possible, I would like to invite you on behalf of the Northern Family to become our Guest Elder.
That way, your safety can be guaranteed.
What do you think?”
The President’s calculations were very good.
He used honorifics every time he spoke, simply because he saw Koda’s potential—having the strength to repel that thief at such a young age, and being a rare waterbender.
The Northern Family was also very willing to establish a friendly relationship; if that was not possible, they at least could not become enemies.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I have a mission to complete and cannot stay in one place for long.
I’m very grateful for the guidance during this time, so please take back the offer of becoming a Guest Elder.”
Koda replied with honorifics as well, politely declining the President’s invitation.
“It’s all right, it’s all right.
Although it’s a pity you can’t become a Guest Elder, I cannot ignore your heroic feat this time.
After returning to the family, I will properly request instructions from Master Lao to hold a welcoming banquet for you.
You are welcome to visit Northern Town as a guest; please do not refuse.”
“Then I shall thank you.
However, I have one more request.
I hope you can prepare a map for me; I have a great use for it.”
Faced with such a warm invitation, Koda really found it hard to refuse.
The main reason was that he had not had a big meal in a long time and missed the taste.
“No problem, such a small matter can certainly be done.
We will definitely prepare the most detailed map of the Earth Kingdom for you.
For now, please transfer to a ‘Half-Body Horse’ to rest.
At our current speed, it will take a few more days to reach the town.
You can leave all your concerns to us during these few days.”
“He Jia!
Come here, quickly help this guest up to rest.”
At this moment, Koda could not help but interject.
“Wait a moment…
I don’t want one of just the Earth Kingdom.
I want a world map.
It doesn’t have to be detailed, as long as the general locations are marked.”
Koda still had some lingering trauma from being cheated by Uncle Lettuce.
He had long since thrown away that old map; the north and south were all wrong, and it could not be used as a reference at all.
“Alright, we have maps of areas outside the Earth Kingdom, but they are much more incomplete.
Many places are not that detailed, so I hope you won’t mind.”
Following the President’s instructions, he picked Koda up from the ground and placed him on the horse’s back to rest.
The President watched as everyone finished packing and distributing the luggage, then gathered them to speak.
Koda watched from a distance.
“This surprise attack has caused us huge losses.
I’ve already had He Jia record all the damages.
The earthbenders hired by the Northern Family to protect the goods, step forward.”
Five earthbenders stepped forward, their faces showing fear, somewhat unwilling to face the President’s questioning.
“The Northern Family does not support you for nothing.
After returning to the family this time, I will report the process truthfully to the Clan Leader.
As for your future punishment, it will also be decided by the Clan Leader.
The rest of you, pack your bags and prepare to set off.
You five, protect that young brother and don’t let anyone get close.
If any laziness is discovered, you will be directly expelled from the Northern Family.”
After the President finished his announcement, the caravan moved out again.
Those five men surrounded Koda, not letting anyone get close.
The entire team’s speed was much faster this time to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
“A Yi Koda…
Koda.
Look, look.
That town over there, we’ve finally reached our destination.
A Yi”
A Yi, lying in Koda’s arms, looked into the distance with sparkling eyes and pointed at the town with her small claws.
“I’m not blind, I can see it.
Can you stop treating me like a disabled person from now on?”
“A Yi Aren’t you a disabled person right now?
A Yi”
“…”
He felt that the little panda in his arms was very much in need of a beating, no less than he himself had been back in the day.
After two days of traveling, through forests and across canyons, the caravan finally saw the small town hidden behind the mountains.
During this time, they were not attacked by that girl named June; she likely had not suffered light injuries either.
In these two days, Koda’s legs had mostly recovered.
As long as he did not exercise vigorously, the feeling of numbness would not return.
He had previously wanted to use the unique healing properties of the Water Control Divine Art to treat himself, but the divine power of water was repelled as soon as it entered his legs.
Finally, after some research, he discovered that there was a trace of Life Energy in the muscles of his legs blocking the entry of the divine power.
This Life Energy could not be used by him; he could only wait for it to slowly dissipate before his legs would return to normal.
Before that, he could not move at all.
The side effects of the Numerology Mode were still too great; he definitely did not want to use it unless it was a critical moment.
After walking for a while longer, the caravan finally entered the town.
The size of the town could not compare at all to the Omashu City he had stayed in before, but its level of prosperity was even greater.
It truly deserved to be called a gathering place for merchants; it was indeed different.
There were quite a few tourists from other places as well.
Many people could be seen setting up stalls on the streets, introducing items to passersby, and there were many people shouting their wares.
The return of the caravan did not disturb this atmosphere; the nearby merchants had long since become accustomed to such situations.
After entering the town, Koda was attracted by the prosperity around him.
“I must find time to walk around and experience the local customs here.”
Following the President all the way, they left the prosperous trade street and gradually entered the outskirts.
The environment here was filled with the fragrance of flowers and birds, and the air was permeated with an intoxicating scent.
Stepping on the uneven stones, they walked forward for another distance, turned a corner, and entered the backyard.
The Northern Family’s territory was very large, and the environment he had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg.
Under the President’s lead, the group entered through the back door.
After he gave a few more instructions to the crowd, everyone else dispersed to arrange the goods, leaving only Koda and the other person in the backyard.
“President, do you have any clothes here that would fit my size?
My current clothes are all dirty, and I want to change into a new set.”
“Yes, yes, yes.
You rest in that room over there first.
I’ll have a servant bring them to you and prepare bathwater for you as well.”
“Then I shall trouble you.”
“Not at all, not at all.”
Ever since the President discovered that Koda had the strength to repel that famous thief, he had been very polite every time he spoke.
Koda had told him many times not to be like this, but after it was to no avail, he let it drop.
“A hot bath is still the most comfortable.”
“A Yi Right, right, right, so comfortable.
My fur is clean too, A Yi”
Just as the person and the beast were enjoying the hot bath, a knock came from the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Come in.”
“Young brother Koda, I’ve placed the clothes and towel here.
If you have any other requests, just say them loudly.
I’ll be waiting outside the door to prepare everything for you.”
After entering with his permission, the President placed the prepared items on the back of the screen, then exited the room and waited outside for him to finish washing and changing.
After waiting for a while, Koda finally came out of the room.
At this moment, he was radiant, the dust gone from his face, and A Yi’s fur was also glossy and bright, with black and white clearly defined.
The President had already been waiting here for a long time.
“Young brother Koda, please follow me.
There is an empty room ahead where you can stay temporarily for the next few days.
I will help you arrange the map, please rest assured.”
This time, the President did not call him a young hero.
At Koda’s strong objection, he changed the form of address; calling him a young hero was simply too embarrassing.
Walking out of the backyard, they saw a different scenery.
The road on the ground had turned into a brick-and-tile road, with rows of houses lined up on the roadside, all the same height and size—likely the servants’ rooms.
After passing the servants’ living quarters, there was an empty courtyard not far away.
The President stopped here; it seemed this was where he would be staying temporarily.
