Rebirth Lives Up to the Stars

"It's really... too ridiculous..."

After listening to all this, only this thought remained in my mind.

"Kroll..." Ryan took a few steps forward and grabbed my hand, his eyes filled with obvious pleading: "Sorry...it's my fault...it was my thought that went wrong...I just ……I……"

"I felt at the time that you hid some things from me... I don't know what you want to do... and I was worried that what I wanted to do was in conflict with what you wanted to do, so... I didn't dare to talk to you You understand."

"I didn't think you were just hiding your name...nor did I think you were Kroll...sorry..."

I have never seen such a frightened look on Ryan's face. His hands were hot and seemed to be dripping with sweat. I frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that I didn't know what to do.

Was it to curse him with words?Or is it better to walk away without any further talk?

For a while, many intense and vicious thoughts popped up in my mind.

But after I slowed down for a while and looked up to see Ryan's face, I finally had to admit that if I were in his position, maybe... I would have done more drastic and irreversible things.

How should I resent him... I first hid it from him, he didn't mean to harm me, and his love for me doesn't seem to be fake.

After all, I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain.

I should be sober, not hysterical.

"Okay." I sighed lightly: "Can you give me some of that secret medicine that breaks the contract?"

Ryan heard me say this, but his face was a little more desperate: "Kroll..."

"Didn't you say that you just added the secret medicine of severing the contract to the bean? I want to see the effect of this secret medicine. If it is true as you said, then..."

Could the blockage of the elemental ring be the result of the combined action of two or more drugs...

The unfinished words disappeared in my throat, I took my hand away from Ryan's hand, said softly: "Go back.", then turned and walked towards the resident of the mercenary union.

I didn't go to see Ryan's current appearance, but I just vaguely felt that he might be very sad.

Although I don't hate it, but...

After all, I still have anger in my heart, and I have nowhere to vent it, and I can't vent it.

For the next few days, I lived in the pharmacy of the mercenary union to study the secret medicine Ryan gave me.

Maybe it's because I'm not in a good mood, I often get lost in inexplicable distractions, and I can no longer devote myself wholeheartedly like I used to.

Therefore, after three full days, there is still no progress in the research on the secret medicine.

I am very anxious, this situation is something I never expected - it turns out that Ryan has already had such a great influence on me before I knew it...

I put down the potion bottle in my hand, sat on the chair and became dazed. The colorless liquid in the potion bottle shook slightly and fluctuated, just like my current mood.

I have probably figured out the ingredients of this secret medicine, but I just don’t know what to mix it with to produce the effect of blocking the elements. I think, maybe Mage Hebe will know... I should go to the northern forest to try my luck and see if it works. Can't find her.

...Besides, I do need a period of time to calm myself down.

With an idea in my mind, I wiped my face with my hands, then stood up, and opened the door of the pharmacy room. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, a heavy object came straight in, making a dull sound.

I was taken aback, but was shocked to find that the one who fell into the room was none other than Ryan wrapped in a cloak.

It was late at night outside, and the thin starlight projected into the silent room, shining on his haggard and dejected face.

He seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep, and he was busy standing up with his hands. He looked at me, and a flattering smile quickly appeared on his pale face, and his red eyes curved slightly: "Kroll..."

The voice was hoarse as if it had been honed by sandpaper. I frowned, helped him to a chair and sat down, then poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"After three days of research, there is no progress." I slowly tidied up the scattered potions on the table, and said to him: "I want to go to the northern forest and ask the mage Heber who taught me healing magic. Can she tell me something useful..."

"Kroll...I'm sorry..."

It's still the same.

I sighed, put down the potion bottle in my hand, turned around and walked in front of Ryan, reaching out to comb his rough hair.

"...Well, I can't blame you for this, and I don't mean to blame you." I said, "Actually, I should also bear certain responsibilities."

"There are too many doubts about Chelsea. Although it seems to be clear now, the cause of our elemental blockage is still not found."

"To be honest... I have no intention of studying here, and I can't find the direction of research, so I want to go to Master Heber..."

Before I finished speaking, my hand was tightly held by him: "...don't go." Ryan's amber eyes looked a little dim at the moment, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to say something.

"I want to go." I raised my hand to cover his hand: "But the word "go" doesn't mean what you think, as long as I find the reason, I will reply..."

The unfinished words were swallowed by Ryan's lips and tongue, and I tasted some salty and bitter taste, so I couldn't help reaching out and hugging him.

"...I see." Ryan said in my ear, his voice was low and dry: "...you always have your reasons, when are you leaving? I'll see you off."

I hugged his shoulders and sighed: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Well..." Ryan said sullenly, "... Kroll, are you... not angry with me?"

"...are we reconciled?"

"..." I sighed: "We have never quarreled, so why do we need 'reconciliation'."

I don't want to quarrel with him... Maybe it's because it's too important, so I don't want to use quarrels to kill my emotions.

The third day after that night was a sunny but windy day.I bid farewell to Ryan and embarked on the journey to the northern forest.

Although I have learned a lot over the years, I am still a little apprehensive, and I don't know whether this trip will be recognized by the northern forest, and whether I will see Master Heber again.

After walking for about six days, a corner of the city gate of Buro finally appeared in the distance, and I breathed a sigh of relief.This is the closest big town to the northern forest. After passing through this town, you will be in the city of Lusse. As long as you arrive in the city of Lusser, then... you have arrived in the northern forest.

However, when I was not far from the Buro City Gate, I suddenly discovered a strange thing.

——At the moment, the Buro City Gate only has a gap that can allow one person to pass through. There are people from the Mercenary Guild guarding the gate. Those who want to enter the city must be tested by the Mercenary Union.

"Hey dude, sorry, jean-"

I was bumped on the shoulder suddenly, and then, I saw a big man with brown hair rushing past me to the crowd in front of me. I frowned, thought for a moment, and walked forward quickly, standing When I got behind the man, I saw that he was not stained with dust, and he didn't hold a package in his hand. He kept looking up and felt that he should be an aborigine in the city, so I raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder. .

"Hey buddy."

The big man heard me call him, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

His brows were tightly furrowed, with an anxious look on his face, and he seemed very impatient for my interruption.

"Uh... I want to ask... what's going on here?"

"Oh...are you from outside?" He looked me up and down.

"Yes, I'm from the Eastern Continent."

"... No wonder you don't know." He rubbed his hands, pointed to the few mercenaries in front of the city gate of Buro and said, "It's like this, the nobleman in Buro City, the Viscount of Hebrew for a few months I suddenly lost my magical ability before, and no matter how I treat it, it can’t be cured, so people who want to enter the city now must be tested by the mercenary union, and if they are healing magicians, they will be taken away by the mercenary union.”

"Healing magician?"

"Yes, you also know that there are very few healing magicians on this continent. After the viscount fell ill, almost all the healing magicians in the city were detained in his castle. Injury, so far no one can be found to heal..."

That's it, no wonder he looks so anxious and flustered.

The viscount's strange disease that no one can heal... Could this be a test from the northern forest?Thinking of this, many complicated thoughts popped up in my mind, and it took me a while to come back to my senses.

"By the way, since there are no healing magicians in Buro, why don't you go a little further and go to a town farther away to find healing magicians?"

"My brother's fighting spirit is surging in his body now, and he suppresses himself every day so as not to explode and die. How can he have the strength to support him to go to other towns..." The big man shook his head, his curly hair hanging down, Covered eyes.

I thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of potion from the wooden box behind me and handed it to the big man: "This is a potion that can suppress fighting spirit. After drinking it with water, it can remain the same as ordinary people for ten days, but it cannot I probably won't be able to interview your younger brother if I use my fighting spirit, but drinking this should be able to propel him to the next town to find a healing magician who can heal him."

The big man took the potion with trembling hands, and looked at me in disbelief: "You... are you a distinguished healing magician?"

I nodded slightly, raised my hand, and a turquoise light appeared in my palm.He seemed to have received a great gift, and suddenly knelt down towards me: "Thank you, Mister Magician, thank you, Mister Mage..."

I hurriedly helped him up, just as I was about to comfort him, only to find that the commotion here had attracted the attention of the mercenary guild, and two people were walking towards me.
