Rebirth Lives Up to the Stars

"I heard from Biden and the others that you found out that the Lucas mercenary group is related to the previous black magic village?" After a lot of tenderness, Ryan and I chatted about the Lucas mercenary group. .

"That's right, you mentioned to me about the Pansen Welfare Institute and the Lucas Mercenary Corps before, and I've thought about it, maybe the fire that year was an act of revenge by the Lucas Mercenary Corps."

Hearing what Ryan said, I nodded.

Before the fire, the orphanage did often receive strange and disgusting things and threatening letters.

"But... Kroll, do you know what the dean of yours is doing now?" Ryan looked at me with some obscure emotions in his eyes.

"...I don't understand." I shook my head: "Is there something wrong with the dean? Didn't he die in the fire?"

"On the surface, it looks like this." Ryan said, "It's just that I used the power of my family to investigate a little deeper."

"The dean of yours is actually in the Western Continent now. He is still passionate about charity and serves as the dean of a welfare home in the Western Continent."

"...Western Continent?" I was taken aback: "Isn't the Lucas mercenary group supported by the nobles of the Western Continent? Why did the dean come to the Western Continent... Isn't he afraid of the past happening again?"

"Of course he's not afraid, he—" Ryan's words were interrupted by a knock on the door outside the earthen house.

I have no choice but to open the door to see who it is.

As soon as I opened the door, a fluffy thing greeted my face and kept thumping.

"George..."

It was the owl kept by Master Heber again.

I took his wing and lifted it up, and saw that its right paw was holding a roll of sheepskin.

It turned out that Master Heber had something to do with me.

I pulled the sheepskin out and let it go.

[Kroll, something is wrong with that friend of yours, you have to come back to me quickly. 】

On the parchment, Master Heber's round characters are as beautiful and smooth as ever, but the news brought to me is not so beautiful.

Something wrong with Xavier?

My heart, which had been relaxed just now because Ryan woke up, tightened again.

I thought Master Heber was the safest place, but who knew...

This is really a wave of ups and downs.

"What's the matter, Kroll?" Ryan asked, walking up to me.

I handed him the parchment in my hand: "Ryan, I'm sorry, something happened to Xavier, I may have to rush back to the northern forest, you rest here—"

"I'll go with you." Ryan interrupted my arrangement and said, "He's your savior. Something happened to him, so I have to go and see."

"But your body—"

"It doesn't matter." Ryan smiled proudly at me: "Don't forget, I am a fighter known for my physical strength on this continent."

"...That's fine." His attitude was very tough, and it seemed that he wanted to go with me, so I didn't insist anymore: "If you feel unwell on the road, you must tell me as soon as possible."

"kindness."

Fortunately, Bessie is not far from the northern forest, and Ryan and I didn't spend much time getting there.

"Ah, you're here." Master Heber was sitting on a wicker chair in front of her house, weaving a basket out of vines.

She seemed laid-back and undisciplined, completely oblivious to what was going on here that required me to come back quickly.

"Yes, because you said that Xavier's condition is not very good, so I hurried back." I said, "Where are the others?"

Master Hebe put down the vine in his hand, stood up and patted the debris left on his robe: "Something happened indeed, come in with me."

I nodded, and Ryan followed her into the house.

"Kroll!"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xavier sitting at the table, who seemed to be in good spirits.

"This..." It doesn't look like something happened, is Master Heber playing tricks on me?No, with Master Heber's temper, how could he make such a silly joke with me.

"Sit down." Master Heber raised his chin, motioned for us to sit at the table, and then took out a small wooden box from the low cabinet beside it.

"It's what you want them to see, won't you regret it?" After we sat down, Master Hebe turned his head and asked Xavier seriously: "You can choose to destroy this thing."

"..." The smile on Xavier's face melted like the first snow. He was silent for a long time, but he shook his head: "I know that Kroll has always cared about it, and I have always wanted to investigate this matter... I am useless, I can't I use my tongue to describe, but at least... there is still a way."

"Thank you, Master Mage, please show them."

Hearing what he said, Mage Hebe's expression became very solemn. She opened the wooden box and took out a black crystal from it.

"This is my newly developed healing magic over the years."

"Specifically for people with mental illness, or memory impairment."

"Using healing magic to transfer the stimulation source in the brain to the crystal, although there will be some sequelae, the mental illness will also be cured."

"Sequelae?" It was only then that I realized that Mage Heber had developed such a miraculous healing magic.In terms of healing magic, I really can't hold a candle to it.

"Yes, such as your friend." Master Heber said: "He had a psychological barrier because of a past experience. Through my healing magic, his memory was transferred to the crystal, and brought The aftereffect is that he will completely lose his memory of that time."

"This crystal is a bit like a magic crystal that can record images."

"Next, I will let you see what kind of experience is recorded here."

After Master Hebe explained, he turned to look at Xavier again: "You should avoid it, otherwise, our treatment will be meaningless."

"George, take him to stay with Old Huo Sen."

Xavier pursed his lips tightly, but nodded obediently, and followed George out of the room.

When they were far away, Master Heber took out the magic wand from his robe, and chanted a spell softly.

A magical element that was so green that it was almost black came out of the magic wand and poured into the crystals on the table continuously.

And the memory that made Xavier so painful, just like this, appeared in front of us——

Flames, flames soaring—

It was the day Pantheon Orphanage caught fire.

These pictures are all seen through Xavier's eyes. He seems to be running, so the picture is shaking all the time.

The orphanage was getting closer and closer, and in the light of the fire, two groups of mercenaries were fighting.

Xavier bowed his waist, carefully bypassed the red-eyed person, and ran into the orphanage.

This route... should be my room.

At that time, I was talking to Master Booz in his infirmary, so of course Xavier didn't see me in my room.

He ran to Master Buzz's clinic again——

Pushing open the door, he saw me who was about to bump into the corner of the table, he ran up quickly and hugged me who was almost unconscious.

"...Xavier?"

I heard my voice calling him. At that time, it was still a clear voice in my youth.

"I'll take you out!"

The screen was shaking violently again, even a little blurry...

Yes, at that time, I almost fell into a coma after smelling the strange fragrance. How could Xavier not be affected? I only struggled to support myself because I was a fighter and had a relatively strong physique...

"Kroll, you stay here, I'm going to save others, listen, you must wait for me here."

Xavier put me in the dark forest, and explained to me while I was still a little conscious.

"Too...too dangerous...too..."

"It's okay, Kroll...I'm going to rescue Master Buzz...and others."

"..."

He has always been so loyal, so he ignored his own safety and ran back to the dangerous orphanage.

Unfortunately, Xavier's second infiltration was not as lucky as the first time.

he……

Encountered mercenaries who attacked the Pantheon Welfare Institute——

"Hey, Poker, look, here's another little guy who's alone."

The two strong and tall mercenaries looked very nasty, and they approached Xavier with a playful smile, holding ropes to bind people in their hands.

"Hey, he's still a fire-type fighter." The mercenary named Poker laughed, "But he's of poor quality, so it's not of much use."

"Okay, let's get rid of this nagging little guy quickly, and take him there." Another mercenary said.

"Okay, okay——" Pokel nuzzled impatiently: "I said, when will Earl Claus's weird hobby be good?"

Count Claus?What they were talking about... was the aristocratic dean of the Pan Sen Welfare Institute? !

"Obviously I can't resist the lure of huge profits from the slave trade, and I still feel that the kidnapping we did before is a serious crime, so we should only pick such an orphanage that has nothing to do with it."

"Yeah, and pretending to be the dean for two days—"

"Hahaha... But, compared to before, it's better to deal with the aftermath. Haven't you seen that the mainland has been going crazy over the years, have we changed our ways?"

"Yeah! Hahahahaha..."

The following words became blurred, and I saw the picture in front of me gradually darken, leaving only a dead silence——
