Chapter 33. The Elder

The next morning, as soon as dawn came, the first thing we did immediately went to the mountains.

Thanks to a fairly detailed tip from local residents, it was not difficult for us to find the one on which the elder's house was located. And since I was looking forward to this moment, I didn't pay attention to how uncomfortable the road turned out to be.

Some of it we really had to climb the slope, and Maxie kept backing me up so that I wouldn't fall down. Elsa, on the other hand, climbed up as easily as if she were walking on the ground. Being the first to reach the top, she gave me her hand to help me climb.

Then we walked forward along the path.

It seems that the rumors that the famous «lord of medicine» was in fact also the world's biggest recluse turned out to be true. There was not a single living soul in the local area, and even animals seemed to be bypassing this mountain. My thoughts were confirmed by the house, which we soon came across.
