Perhaps it was the hope of finally seeing a recovery, and the Hebrew Viscount gradually trusted me very much, and gave me a magic scroll that allowed me to enter and leave all the plantations in Bro City at will.

It just so happened that I had used up the Elive's potion with me, so I picked a clear day and hopped on a bus to the plantation north of Bro to see if I could bring back some Saint Louise flowers.

☆★☆

The streets of Bro City aren't spacious, but they're clean, and through the car windows, I can occasionally see people sleeping on deck chairs basking in the sun in the alleys.

The afternoon sun is warm, and the whole city is a little more lazy because of it.

☆★☆

Finally to the north of Bro, I saw the plantation.

It was only then that I understood why the Viscount had given it as a thank you gift to the magician who had cured him of his ills.

- Yes, this plantation is spectacular.

Unlike ordinary plantations, it is surrounded by a magic circle. From the outside, the inside is full of towering ancient trees, which is almost like a pristine jungle.

"Venerable Magician, the villain wants to check the passage scroll."

The sudden sound in my ears woke me up from my surprise, and I came back to my senses and looked at the person standing in front of me.

This is a very fat guy, and the fat on his body is a little tightened by his clothes, and he looks very funny.

He bowed his head respectfully and spread his hands out at me.

There seemed to be a special ornament in the palm of his hand, which I guess was the magic circle that checked the scrolls.

With that in mind, I took the scroll from my bosom and placed it in his outstretched hand.

With a glimmer of light, the passage scroll disappeared, and he withdrew his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Venerable Magician, it is my honor to lead you in the way. ”

A plantation that needs people to guide it...... I'm really looking forward to it.

I nodded and followed him into the plantation.

☆★☆

"Our plantation is roughly circular in shape, with three floors inside and out, with the outermost area being the wild planting area, the middle layer being where the slaves lived, and the innermost area being the slave planting area."

The trees on both sides of the road blocked the sun's rays, and the air was a little humid, and the fat man who led the way talked to me about the plantation.

"The St. Louise flower you need is both wild and artificially grown, which one do you need?"

I looked left and right, and then said to him, "Take me there...... Just from the wild ones, I also want to take a look at other herbs by the way. ”

He bowed his head respectfully, led me to the right corner, and walked into the wild planting area.

☆★☆

Walking on the narrow road in the wild growing area, the wet and soft soil under my feet made it a little difficult for me to walk, and a lot of brown and yellow dirt stained my shoes. It's quiet, except for the occasional bird call or the rustle of leaves in the wind.

In a short time, we came to the place where the St. Louis flower was planted.

Vast expanses of white flowers spread into the distance, as if they were about to drown the area, such a spectacular sight that I have only seen twice in all these years.

"The St. Louis Flower is the economic backbone of our Bro City." The fat man rubbed his hands, pointed to the sea of flowers and said, "Don't look at this flower, it doesn't look very pleasing, but after grinding it into powder, it can be concocted into the best-selling incense on this continent!" ”

"You must have heard of the incense of the Sphinx Mystery!"

"Of course I've heard of the famous incense in Bro City." I patted the fat man, who was a little excited, "It's just...... It turns out that the mystery of the Sphinx is the incense made from St. Louis flowers. ”

"It's so simple to sue me, doesn't it matter?"

The fat man paused for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "You hold the passage scroll issued by the city lord himself...... Things on the plantation will not be hidden from you according to the regulations. ”

"That's right......" I smiled, "I don't want to bother you, now, take me to see the artificially planted St. Louis flowers." ”

The Mystery of the Sphinx, a charming incense from the closed city-state of Bro, has been sold across the continent for nearly a hundred years, and it turns out that it was also concocted from the flower of St. Louise.

I always feel that the raw materials of incense are going to be monopolized by the Saint Louise flower.

☆★☆

Walk through the slave quarters in the middle to reach the plantation park.

The mud huts where slaves lived looked very rudimentary, with occasional tall houses standing in them.

The neighborhood is very deserted, and I think it's probably because it's a good day and everyone is working.

But as I was leaving, I saw a long line of vague figures strung with rope in the distance.

☆★☆

"Pine! Are there any guests coming? ”

As soon as I walked into the plantation area, I heard the slaves around me greeting the fat man.

After a few pleasantries with the people around him, he led me to the west.

Was his name Pyne? Actually, I won't be able to do anything, right...... He was still too cautious...... Well, no, I don't know his name, and even if he doesn't do anything bad, I can't tell him his name afterwards and let the plantation keepers clean him up.

What a slippery guy.

But...... I always thought his name was familiar, probably somewhere I had heard it before.

There are too many people with the same name on the mainland, and it is inevitable that such a thing will happen.

I was bored thinking about it like this, and I looked in both directions, but when I wasn't paying attention, I bumped into someone.

"Shhhh

I rubbed my chin and before I could complain, I saw the flaxen-haired man across from me take a few steps back, sit down on the ground with a snap, and scream.

No way......

"Boss ......"

Fat Pine almost didn't jump up, and quickly took two steps to help the man who fell to the ground up, and called out "boss" in his mouth.

I watched them both whisper a few words with their heads down, and the flaxen-haired man came up with his head down, bowed deeply to me, and said, "I'm sorry, Venerable Magician, but it was the lowly villain who ran into you...... Please forgive the lowly villain......"

"Forget it......" I reached out and lifted him up, lest the eyes around me gather more and more, and I still had business to do.

The man straightened up and raised his head.

I casually looked at his face, only to find that beneath the tousled flaxen hair were tired but still bright eyes.

Pair...... Familiar to the extreme.

These eyes, this face, and the black back, and the fire that will never disappear at the Panson Welfare Home, are buried in the scorched earth of my memory.

The whole world seemed to be speechless, and it was eerily quiet.

Xavier ......

My throat was shaking, my lips were shaking, but I couldn't help but pronounce his name.
