Rebirth Lives Up to the Stars

Suddenly my eyes darkened, and my lips felt wet.

"Kroll...I miss you so much..."

Ryan's voice was gentle and low, and a few short words lingered from the tip of his tongue, like fine wine, making people dizzy.

Once the fire starts to burn, the enthusiasm can never be extinguished.

I heard my heart beating like a drum, and I also heard Ryan's breathing gradually deepened. I couldn't help embracing his strong body, reaching into his clothes, and caressing his bare back.

The touch between lips and tongue was extremely lingering, and Ryan whimpered softly, like a wolf cub being gently caressed.

"...you have to go on your way tomorrow." I finished a long kiss and pressed against his forehead, my warm breath intertwined, I felt peaceful but warm in my heart.

"Actually...it doesn't matter." Ryan said in a low voice.

I pressed his head into my arms, and softly reprimanded him: "Shut up, who do you think I abstain from sex for?"

"Hey..." Ryan grinned in my arms, hugging my waist tightly with both hands, like a entangled Orr beast, rubbing against my neck endlessly.

The next day, after a hasty farewell to Ryan, I found Luke and asked about the Hebrew Viscount's illness.

Today the weather is sunny, but Luke is wrapped in a dark mage cloak, coupled with his gully face, he looks like a terrible black magician: "You want to know whether element stasis is a congenital disease of the Viscount?"

"Yes, I heard you say that the Viscount has been like this since he was a child... I just don't know if the Viscount was born with it, or because of some reasons after birth."

"The Viscount..." Luke sighed softly, "This shouldn't be mentioned again."

"Ah... I just think that if I can know more clearly and in detail, it will be very helpful to cure the Viscount's illness."

"..." Luke was silent for a while, and slowly moved to a chair beside him to sit upright, and then used his hoarse voice to tell me about the unknown past of the Hebrew viscount family——

"The viscount is actually not the old viscount's biological son, but he is the old viscount's only and favorite son... This is all because the old viscount loves his wife deeply."

"The old viscount's wife came to Bro City with a mercenary group many years ago. Speaking of which, she is also from your Eastern Continent."

"At that time, Madam was working as a handyman in the mercenary regiment. She was dressed in rags and slovenly. However, by chance, the old Viscount saw her beautiful and moving face, so regardless of Madam's pregnancy at the time, In fact, she was redeemed from the mercenary group."

"Why do you need to buy it from the mercenary group?" I was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"The mercenaries in those years were not as free as they are today. Almost all the mercenaries were recruited by the person in charge from all over the place. After signing the contract, they formed a mercenary group."

"So, that lady used to be a slave... After being rescued by the old Viscount from the mercenary regiment, did she terminate the contract?" Hearing this, I vaguely caught some clues in my heart, but it seemed that there was still something missing. .

"Yes, Madam drank the secret medicine to sever the contract. Although the contract with the mercenary group was terminated, she was bedridden all year round because of this. She passed away shortly after giving birth to the Viscount."

"So, the Hebrew Viscount's illness is congenital?"

"Yes, I've been thinking, maybe, it's some kind of hereditary disease in Madam's family..."

"So it's like this... Then, to find the source of the viscount's illness, it seems that we have to start with the madam." I looked at Luke and sincerely asked: "I wonder if you can tell the name of the madam, or Was it the lady who was bought from some mercenary group?"

"Madam's name is taboo, of course you can't take the liberty to mention it, but that mercenary group was very famous back then, you probably have heard of it." Luke said, "It's the Lucas mercenary group from the Western Continent."

Lucas Mercenary Group?

"Lu... Lucas Mercenary Group? Excuse me, is this Lucas?" I dipped a little water and wrote a few words on the wooden table.

Luke nodded, the emotion in his eyes was dim: "Yes, you really know this mercenary group."

Yes, of course I know about this mercenary group, or rather, like thunder——

The Lucas mercenary group is the notorious mercenary group that is backed by the nobles of the western continent and rampant in the eastern continent.It was the mercenary group that kidnapped and killed the only son of the aristocratic headmaster.

As soon as I thought about it, I blurted out: "Forgive me, I heard the Viscount mention his mother a few days ago, um... Madam seems to be named Leander."

Luke gave me a surprised look, then nodded slowly.

My heart couldn't help beating faster. At this moment, I finally understood why the moment I saw Viscount Hebrew, I felt his face was so familiar.

The name of the mysteriously missing wife of the aristocratic director of the Pantheon Welfare Institute is Leander Josh.And the Hebrew Viscount's light blond hair and azure eyes symbolized his noble and unique blood—the same as the aristocratic dean back then.

Lucas Mercenaries...

It turned out that it was also... the main culprit that caused the dean's wife to disappear.

A conversation with Luke revealed this overwhelming fact.

I paced back and forth in the room, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of my room.I hurriedly restrained my messy thoughts, and then opened the door.

Xavier was standing outside the door with a tray.

"I see you didn't have dinner, so..." He smiled at me honestly, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

"Thank you." I took the tray and led Xavier into the room to sit him at the table while I walked over to the shelf and washed my hands.

On the dinner plate was bread with phoebe and meat sauce, it was baked golden, just looking at it made people move their index fingers.

However, now is not the time to enjoy delicious food.

I sat across from Xavier and met his eyes.He seemed a little uneasy, and looked away from me uncomfortably.

"Is there... something on my face? Look at me like that."

I shook my head and asked after deliberation: "Xavier, you told me before that you were trafficked here by a mercenary group... Well... do you remember which mercenary group it was?"

He froze for a moment, and soon, a look of fear appeared on his face, his arms curled up, and he sat on the stool trembling.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to remind you of bad things..." Seeing him like this made me very uncomfortable, but...

"Is it the Lucas Mercenary Group?" After a moment of silence, I still asked.

At this moment, Xavier seemed to be frozen, suddenly stopped trembling, and stood up.

He stared at me with wide eyes: "You already know..."

"I don't know anything..." I shook my head in distress: "Xavier, I found out today that the fire at the Pantheon Orphanage may have been caused by the Lucas mercenary group."

"No...not... Lucas Mercenary Group..." Xavier suddenly shook his head frantically, as if caught in some memory, his expression was in a trance, and even the dinner plate on the table was swept away by him in a frenzy On the ground, it became a pile of debris.

"Okay... don't think about it..." Seeing that his emotions were out of control, I quickly took out the tranquilizer from the cabinet and poured Xavier down.

Soon, he stopped moving, quietly fell on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

His breathing was light and shallow, as if he was afraid of disturbing others.

I watched him sleep peacefully, but the doubts in my heart swelled to the point where it couldn't be added.

What happened back then... that turned the strong and cheerful Xavier... into what he is now...
