Rebirth Lives Up to the Stars

"Please." I handed the parchment in my hand to Bernard. He raised his head, and there seemed to be some emotion flashing through his amber eyes, which I couldn't see clearly.

Seeing that Bena didn't take the parchment in my hand for a long time, the mercenary beside him smiled at me, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

He finally came to his senses, took the parchment, and apologized to me in embarrassment: "Sorry, I was just thinking about which way I should go back to the Eastern Continent."

"...Because, I feel that your physical fitness is not very good." After deliberating for a while, he looked into my eyes with a very sincere expression.

I am very aware of my physical weakness.Even if he doesn't say it out, and doesn't put on such a loyal and reliable appearance, I will propose and ask them to take a relatively easy path.

But... this man named Bena can deduce my physical condition in a very short period of time and take care of it, which makes me feel very happy.Perhaps my thousand marks were not in vain.

"It's not very good." I simply nodded.

He didn't seem to expect me to be so frank, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips: "I see, leave the rest to us." Then, he stuffed the parchment in his hand into the package , and then motioned for me to walk among them.

The city gate of Lucerne opened slowly, and the huge gate was dragged, making a dull sound, and the khaki avenue stretched into the distance. I saw mountains and hills rising and falling in the distance, and saw the slowly climbing the sun, and its golden light.

On the way back to the Eastern Continent, we encountered several gangs of bandits, but the mercenaries of Zhan Ren are very powerful fighters, and under their escort, there was no major trouble.

It’s just that the mage’s robe I’m wearing now is too cumbersome, and it’s not as convenient as their tight underwear when walking and running. In this way, it will inevitably drag them down. After Bena was cut on his right arm for protecting me , I decided to buy some clothes like theirs.

"Are you willing to wear such clothes?" Benar and the others seemed very surprised by my decision.

I'm a little confused, so: "Yes."

But it’s not possible right now, we didn’t make it to the next town today, so we can only sleep in the open by the river, naturally… there’s no place for me to buy it.

Seeing the blood oozing from Bena's bandaged arm, I crouched down and reached out to remove his bandages.

The moment I approached, I saw that the muscles on Benner's body tensed up, but then relaxed again.

I glanced at him, and then condensed a light green elemental cluster in my hand, and brought it close to the place where Benar was cut.

Bena gently raised his arm so that the elemental group could better wrap his wound, while thanking him: "...Thank you...Thank you."

I feel a little emotional, people like Bena and the others are indeed excellent mercenaries.Even if they saw the light green element group representing healing magic in my hand, they would react so strongly, similar to resistance, as soon as I approached.

"Are you a healing magician?"

After healed, Bena began to chat with me.

"En." I put my five fingers together, pinched the element clusters in my hands, then picked up a handful of water, and slowly cleaned the blood stains on my hands.

"You are such a strange magician." Bena smiled at me: "I thought that magicians should be the same as those guys in the mercenary group."

Am I any different from those magicians?

I thought about it carefully and asked, "You mean...it's weird that I'm going to wear clothes like you?"

"Ah...well..." Bena lay back on the grass, with his two strong arms crossed behind his head.I turned my head to look at him, although his body is slender and vigorous, full of vitality, but he looks very experienced, not the kind of young and energetic young man.At this moment, the moonlight was pouring down, and he was bathed in the moonlight, and his whole body was like a statue carved out of marble.

"Mages are generally obsessed with mage robes..." His voice came: "It represents the glory of mages after all."

glory?

I don't know.

I have lived in the northern forest for three years, and every three months, Mage Hebe will give me a new mage robe.But she never mentioned to me such things as "the mage's robe symbolizes the mage's glory".

but……

I pulled up the hem of the mage's robe, and under the clear light of the moon, I could vaguely see very delicate and complicated dark patterns on it.

This... should be a new one I bought before I was thrown out of the northern forest by Mage Hebe.How should I put it... Indeed, it is as beautiful as a handicraft.

I let go of my hand, and the cloth slipped from my hand, then stood up, walked around the place where Bena was lying, and walked to the place where the bonfire was burning: "On the bumpy road, it can't represent glory, it can only drag you back .”

——Glory can only be produced because of strength, and it will not last forever because of such a robe.

Back to the Eastern Continent.

Before entering the city, I saw Bena take out the parchment, and then handed me a seal, asking me to activate the magic to stamp the parchment.

I followed suit, and soon, the parchment started from the place where the seal appeared, and gradually turned into ashes, and from the ashes, six hundred marks slowly appeared.

He saluted me: "I hope you are satisfied with the service we provide."

I smiled: "You are very good."

He glanced at me as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.The other mercenaries had already come to the front and were shouting his name loudly.

"Can I ask a more personal question?" He asked me quickly while waving his hands at the mercenaries.

"...?"

"May I know your first...surname?"

"Surname?" My heart beat violently, and then I said almost without thinking, "...I don't have a surname. You can call me...well...Kolo."

"... Well, I hope we still have a chance to meet, Keluo." Bena thought he had hit on something sad about me, and even looked at me with some pity in his eyes.

Not having a surname is not a big deal to me.

But I am not familiar with him, there is no need to explain, let him misunderstand.

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Bena, I entered the city and walked towards the eastern suburbs.

On the way, I felt that the city was both strange and familiar.I even saw the School of Magic still standing in place...and the dilapidated transport vehicles.

I got on the bus.When I heard the familiar sound of wind-type magic driving the car, my heartbeat suddenly became faster.

Pantheon Orphanage.

I'm coming back to this place soon.

After encountering that fire... what does it look like there now?

After getting off the traffic car, I walked towards the orphanage along the path I remembered.

There is still part of the scorched black soil beside the road, and low and fragile trees are planted in the distance.

If I remember correctly, I should have arrived at the Pantheon Orphanage after crossing this forest.

then……

Then, I walked through the woods, and what appeared in front of me... was a vast and desolate area...

cemetery.
