"No, old man, it's easy for you to say that!"
When Godfrey heard the old man's words, he was immediately displeased and looked at him sadly.
What kind of words are those?
What does he mean by he is unreliable? Although his master was indeed a very reliable person, to say that he was unreliable was simply too much.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Seeing Godfrey so angry, Joelson wanted to stop him, but he was a step too late.
"You old man, it's easy for you to say that. Try alone. Do you dare to go down? It's easy to say you want to get off. I thought you had lost your mind!"
Godfrey complained sadly until he saw an annoyed expression in Joelson's eyes. He doesn't keep complaining.
"Godfrey...really too rude...!"
Joelson glared at Godfrey sadly.
Even if the old man spoke a lot, he should not criticize an old man with such cruel words.
"Haha... It's my fault, it's my fault. Good boy, don't blame him!"
The old man laughed and stroked his white beard with an open look.
"Sorry, old man!"
Although the old man did not care, Godfrey still lowered his head in guilt.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Good boy, you're young. There are many things you have not experienced. I can understand."
The old man was happy and did not feel angry at all.
"You know, those bright crystals grew in a place so dark and silent. How was it found?"
The old man smiled and asked the first question.
"Well..."
Godfrey's confused.
That's right, why was that sparkling crystal found in a place where there were no humans?
After thinking for a moment, Godfrey was unable to understand it. He lowered his head and said humbly.
"Please tell me, old man. I don't know!"
"Hehehe..."
The old man said with a smile.
"In this world, the first person to eat a crab is a warrior. That's because it might be poisonous and inedible."
“When I was young, I was an explorer. I once stepped on a mountain peak and entered the valley of the world. Both are very useful to me. In my life as a living person, I devoted my life to exploration. . I conquered the natural trenches one after another under my feet. I conquered those terrifying hopeless situations one by one. At this time at the top ... "
The old man was in high spirits and his face flushed red. He was so excited just by talking about the past. It was as if his body was no longer old and weak.
"All this ends with an ordinary adventure that I think is very simple..."
"It's just a very small valley ..."
"It is said that there are very few medicinal herbs in it. With the aim of earning extra money and warming up, I set out without any protective gear ..."
"Sighs..."
"In a realm I've conquered, this is just a very small mountain peak. Originally, I would have been like an old man walking around the back garden as usual..."
The old man took a deep breath.
"You should be able to guess what happened after that."
"Yes..."
"Parents .. do you miss ..."
Hades also listened to the old man's story.
"Yes, right. An explorer, a brave man who has conquered countless wonders, falls on a very ordinary mountain peak and lands on his head first. As far as I know ... My body was exposed in the wilderness and no one found my body because they never thought that I would be on a mountain top like that ..."
"Sighs..."
The old man sighed.
"Then, I came here and lost the challenge of the wonders of nature. Even if I get another life, I will never be able to feel the excitement again..."
"Until I meet that person."
"Who?"
Both Joelson and Godfrey are confused.
"The founder of a free city-state, Kiana, Kaslan!"
As the old man said this, his eyes shone with a dazzling light.
"That's a legendary person. At that time, he was not extraordinary and did not create a city-state, but his personality was dazzling ..."
The old man's eyes stared at the dark sky, drowning in memory.
"I became his subordinate. Under his guidance, under the guidance of that great woman, I found the meaning of my life once again."
"Huh?"
Joelson, Godfrey, and Hades were all shocked.
"That's right. Under his introduction, I learned about this beautiful world, the land of Everwinter!"
“Just cross that natural trench, that strange point of gravity, I thought hard and challenged it many times. Finally, under my tireless efforts, I finally conquered that natural trench. I was ordered to investigate the forbidden lands of these undead, which had no natural moat it made me regain hope for life!"
"After entering, this place was different from the Underworld outside. This place is covered in yellow soil and dust. There are no high mountains or steep valleys. This place is full of danger. I have a new life in this land of eternal winter. "
"After that, I found this place through constant exploration and challenges. The Wailing Abyss!"
"Now, let's go back to the first question. Do you know why no one lives here? Why did someone find that sparkling gemstone?"
The old man paused for a moment before continuing to ask.
"Hmm.. I guess the answer is already on the tip of my tongue!"
Joelson's eyes were filled with admiration, and an embarrassed expression appeared on Godfrey's face.
"I'm sorry..."
"Hahaha, I already said that I don't care. Children, as you think, the first person to descend to the bottom of the Wailing Abyss is indeed me!"
After these words were spoken, everyone was second-guessing, but they still sighed.
What they admire is the unyielding lives of parents, his endless desire to investigate, and his courage to face nature, which only humans have.
"Hows it? Do you still feel that coming down from the Lamenting Abyss is something impossible?"
"No..."
Godfrey lowered his head in shame.
"Yes ... Alright ... It's okay."
The old man stroked his beard with a smile.
"Hows it? Do you want to challenge the most difficult natural trenches in the entire Underworld?"
Then, the old man threw a challenge.
"Of course, you can also refuse. Better to come back empty-handed than dead!"
