Rebirth Lives Up to the Stars

"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——

It turns out...that's what got Xavier where he is now.

The aristocratic dean and the Lucas mercenary group turned out to be subordinate... No, or rather, a cooperative relationship...

Pulling the big skin of charity, in fact, secretly, it is a business of large-scale human trafficking.

And choose the welfare home...

Just because people like us, unencumbered, uncared for, are better "acquired" and better dealt with—

"Kroll..."

Ryan's worried voice came from next to my ear, and the next second, my hand was suddenly held by him,

"...I'm fine." I smiled at Ryan: "It's just that there are some things I haven't figured out yet."

——Didn’t the Lucas mercenary group kidnap and kill the son of the aristocratic dean, and sell his wife as a slave to Bro City?

It's clearly a blood feud...why...

Why is the relationship between them like this?

Xavier's memory will not lie, what happened between the noble chief and the Lucas mercenary group?

I don't know……

"I know you're still confused, but that's what I was about to tell you, Kroll." Ryan said, "I was interrupted when I was at Bessie, so I didn't have time to say it."

"Almost all the money earned by the Lucas mercenary group is supporting the research of black magic."

"The former dean of your Pantheon Welfare Institute is very likely to be a fanatical follower of black magic." Ryan said: "Then he hit it off with the Lucas mercenary group and joined forces."

"..." That's right, I just remembered that Ryan came here because he found out that the Lucas mercenary group was related to the Black Magic Village incident, and wanted to find out.

"Ahem——" Mage Hebe suddenly coughed a few times, causing Ryan and I to stop talking and look at her.

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, but..." Mage Heber stroked the magic wand in his hand: "Kroll, that little guy's vindictive cycle was indeed destroyed by something suspected of being a black magic potion."

"... I seem to have some clues in my mind, but there are still some things I don't understand." I breathed out deeply, trying to exhale all the stale air stagnant in my chest.

"Ryan, I think we might try to find a former mercenary from the Lucas mercenary group to understand the situation." I glanced at the black crystal on the table: "The best... is to participate in the Pantheon A mercenary on fire."

In the Magic Continent, the mercenaries who terminated the contract with the mercenary group will be selectively hunted down by the mercenary group because they know too many secrets of the mercenary group. If they want to escape such encounters, they can only commit suicide or choose Then sign a contract with another more powerful mercenary group.

And no matter how they choose, when they are old, the mercenaries will almost always be sent to the city of St. Yidian next to the northern forest to be raised——

Or be regulated.

In a criminal mercenary group like Lucas, there are probably very few mercenaries who can cancel the contract and survive. Perhaps, only in St. Yidian can you find a few anonymous guys.

"Let's try our luck at Saint-Etienne," I said to Ryan.

He froze for a moment, and said: "Actually, with Xavier's memory, we can file a lawsuit with the Mercenary Association and demand a thorough investigation of the Panson Orphanage—"

"No... I don't think it's that simple... because it involves black magic." I said, "Actually, I have an idea in my head, but I don't know if it can be implemented."

"After all, it's too unfair to Xavier..." I closed my eyes and sighed: "Master Hebe, in fact, I came to the northern forest this time to see if you can help me."

Hearing what I said, Master Heber also pulled up a chair and sat down at the table: "Tell me."

I nodded, and then told Master Heber about the ins and outs of Ryan and I suffering from elemental stasis disease for no apparent reason.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence. In Bro City, the 5a mission I received was to help the Hebrew Viscount relieve the elemental blockage on his body. There, I learned that the Hebrew Viscount's illness was born, and His mother is the mysteriously missing wife of the aristocratic head of our orphanage."

"——Leander Josh, this lady was brought to Buro City by the Lucas mercenary group, and also suffered from element stasis after leaving the Lucas mercenary group."

"The healing magician in Buro City told me that she, like us, only developed such symptoms after taking the secret medicine to sever the contract."

"But according to my research on the secret medicine of severing the contract when I was in the Eastern Continent, if I only take the secret medicine, there will be no element blockage."

"So I guess—"

"You guess, it's the result of the combined effect of two drugs." Master Heber chuckled, and took my words: "And what happened to that unlucky woman and Xavier makes you suspect that this well-known and unknown drug is Lu The Cass mercenary group got it from those guys who fiddle with black magic?"

"Yes." I nodded: "After all, Chelsea is also a noble from the Western Continent, and it is very likely that he has a deal with the Lucas Mercenary Group. If this is the case, then Xavier is drinking the secret of breaking the contract." After taking the medicine, there will also be a situation of element stagnation.”

"In this way, we can use Eve's potion to save him..."

The more I talked, the more excited I became, and I felt that the blood all over my body was rushing to my head.

"You know it in your heart, Kroll." Master Heber said mercilessly: "The risk is too great."

"This is just your guesswork."

"Unless we get that well-known potion, we can't rush to give Xavier any potion." Master Hebe shook his head: "His body can't stand the torment..."

"Yes, so... I have to go to St. Yidian once." I clenched my hands: "Also, I really want to know what those black magicians are researching..."

Master Heber took a deep look at me, and then sighed: "Don't go to San Yidian for now. In this way, you go out first, and come back here to find me after three days."

"Master Hebe?" I don't understand why she suddenly drove us away.

"You guys also stay with old Huo Sen, be obedient." Master Heber's old face looked terribly serious.

I have always respected her, so even if I didn't know it, I still pulled Ryan and left her room obediently.

"Master Heber, what's wrong with her?" Ryan followed me out, also a little baffled.

"...I don't know, she has always been so weird." I shrugged: "Okay, let's go to old Huo Sen first as she told me."

"With you, we can go anywhere."

"……kindness."

Old Huo Sen is the old neighbor of Mage Heber. He is an old wind fighter. He lived in seclusion in the northern forest.

When Ryan and I arrived at his house, he and Xavier were playing bridge in the field outside the house.

He had already piled up a lot of mark coins in front of him, but there were only two or three pitiful ones in front of Xavier.

"Kroll—"

Seeing me coming, Xavier seemed to see a savior: "Come and help me, I can't beat old Huo Sen at all..."

"You boy, you can't break the rules..." Old Huo Sen was so angry that Xavier asked me to help him: "I don't play bridge with that bad boy, he is very bad! Always Conspiring against the old man's marks."

"...Pfft." Ryan couldn't help laughing, his shoulders trembled as he held back his laughter.

I really have nothing to do with old Huo Sen: "Didn't you say that you want me to go all out, be honest, respect the rules of bridge, and respect you..."

"Hmph—" Old Huo Sen ignored me, he threw the bridge in his hand, and stood up: "Why do you have time to see me, Master Heber?"

"She didn't tell me...just let us stay with you for three days, and we can go to her after three days."

"Ah... She should be doing that... It's true that I haven't seen her do it for many years..." Old Huo Sen nodded and said something vaguely in his mouth.

"what did you say?"

"I said, you boys, do you want to go hunting with me?"

"Ah?" I was taken aback.

"The monsters in the northern forest are very interesting. Come on, come with me, or I'll kick your ass."

"..."
