When Jas opened his eyes again he noticed the sunlight coming in through the window in the room, he saw that there was no snowfall today and he tried to move, hoping that things would be easier.
When he tried to move, not only did he fail to do so by even a centitre, but he also noticed the enormous pain in his body and especially in his heart.
Jas had no way of describing the pain in his body. Even when Noah had trained him in poison, or when he had fought the Fallen God to the point of death on the ice mountain, he had never experienced such imnse pain.
He could feel everything from his toes to the hair on his head, but this ti it wasn't excitent, adrenaline or fear, but pure pain.
"Argh..."
With a small whimper, he stared at the ssage window that opened in front of him:
[How are you feeling my not-so-smart husband?]
When Jas looked at this ssage from Nesis, he smiled and then said, "I'm just a little sore." At that mont, the door of the room he was in opened and Ariel entered.
When Ariel saw that Jas was awake, she said, "You had us quite worried." and then pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Can you tell what happened?" Jas suddenly asked, not in a humorous mood.
Ariel giggled at the question, and after a few seconds of waiting, she spoke, making Jas look like an idiot:
"I didn't know that many monsters or races recognise you as their master when you na them, so when you nad the pixies, you bound the pixie queen Sophia to you, just like Elise, your succubus servant, was bound to you."
When Jas heard these words, he made a face as if he didn't understand anything, and then he said, "What?" in surprise. He refused to believe that he had fainted just because he had nad her.
"You nad a being as pure as a pixie queen, literally as pure and perfect as the Archangels. Do you know how many days you have been asleep?"
At the end of Ariel's words, Jas replied, "I don't know," and Ariel replied back, "60 days, exactly 60 days you've been in this bed."
Jas couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number.
"If we add the previous 20 days, we've already quadrupled the floors that we ant to move? That ans we only have 60 days left..." Jas said and Ariel's angry expression appeared when she heard these words.
"Everyone was so worried, not even Nesis or Lady Nyx herself could co here unless this floor belonged to us.
Even Ra, who is considered as a creator, can't get in here, so you were dying Jas, you were dying as usual, you lived with a tiny fraction, if you didn't have both magic and aura in your body, you would have died." Ariel suddenly said, frowning, clenching her teeth and expressing her anger with her worried pupils.
Jas was silent for a few seconds when he heard those words, and then he began to say things that would silence the gods watching, let alone Ariel, and make them agree with him:
"We often try to map everything out, setting everything up, how we know to do things. But the tower, it traps us and it does it all the ti. Different traps always, different dead ends. In our world Ariel, we might have the chance to restard, leave the city and try to do things but in the tower...no---nothing changes."
With Jas' words, Ariel's anger began to fade, but her anxiety began to rise even more.
"Only when I started walking towards what felt the only right for without trying to rationalise everything, I found the exist. In this tower, it always worked like this for . So from ti to ti, I am not thinking, especially if we are in a safe place. I find my exit just like this from almost every danger."
"But what you're doing is dangerous...I understand, I really do, after all, the things we're fighting, the scenarios we're escaping or surviving...so of them are quite dangerous even for the people inside the tower, I really do get it.
You're not the only one though, we've talked about this before." Ariel was able to understand what Jas was saying, like most gods, though like most gods, Ariel herself knew that it wasn't always the best option.
"Sotis everything you do know ans nothing in the face of a new problem. But you should just keep moving towards what feels right. Pretty much, think hard but do not think hard at the sa ti, do you get ?"
Ariel was about to respond to these words when Jas' voice was heard again:
"After all, as long as you move to what's right for you, the exit will be clear ey?"
As Jas said these words, Ariel stood up and then pulled a bottle out of her inventory and gently gave Jas a drink.
Jas wanted to vomit as soon as the disgusting taste touched his tongue, but he restrained himself, and after he had sohow drunk the liquid in his mouth, he asked "What was that?" and received the answer "dicine."
"You need to rest now. For 55 days your body was in deep sleep and pain because every drop of mana in your body went to Sophia, you spent 5 days recovering your magic rings, and now you drank this dicine to recover your mana faster. You'll be as good as new in a day or two."
After Ariel's words, Jas indicated that he understood by closing his eyes, but a completely different question appeared in his mind:
"What about the mines? The construction of the walls must have slowed down while I slept. You can't go and protect the mines when you're protecting the village."
When Jas asked this question, Ariel smiled and gave the most ridiculous answer she could give to Jas' ears:
