"It's ...... It's ridiculous......"

After listening to this qiē, all that remained in my mind was this thought.

"Kroll......" Ryan took a few steps forward and grabbed my hand, his eyes overflowing with obvious pleading, "I'm sorry...... It was my fault...... I thought about it for a while...... I was just...... I ......"

"I thought you were hiding something from me...... I don't know what you're trying to do...... I'm also worried that what I want to do will conflict with what you're going to do, so ...... I don't dare to explain it to you. ”

"I didn't think you were just hiding your name...... I didn't think you were Kroll...... Sorry ......"

I've never seen such a panicked look on Ryan's face, his hands were so hot that there seemed to be a little sweat dripping out, and I frowned slightly, suddenly feeling like I didn't know what to do.

Is it cursing him with words? Or is it better to walk away and take care of it less?

All of a sudden, many intense and vicious thoughts popped up in my head.

But when I slowed down for a while and looked up to see Ryan's face, I finally had to admit that if I was in his place, maybe ...... I will do something more drastic and irreversible.

How am I going to resent him...... I hid it from him first, he didn't mean to harm me, and his love for me didn't seem to be fake.

After all, I have nothing to lose, and nothing to gain.

I should be sober and not hysterical.

"Alright." I sighed softly: "Can you give me some of the secret medicine that breaks the contract?" ”

Ryan heard me say this, but there was more despair on his face: "Kroll......"

"Didn't you say that you just added the secret medicine of breaking the contract to Burke Bean? I'd like to see the effect of this potion, and if it's as you say, then ......"

Could the blockage of the elemental ring be the result of the combined action of two or more drugs......

The unfinished words disappeared in my throat, and I withdrew my hand from Ryan's hand and whispered, "Go back." Then he turned and walked towards the Mercenary Guild's headquarters.

I didn't look at Ryan's current appearance, but I vaguely thought that he might be sad.

Although it is not resentful, it ......

After all, I still have anger in my heart, and I have nowhere to vent, and I can't vent.

☆★☆

For the rest of the day, I spent the rest of my days in the mercenary guild's pharmacy studying the secret medicine that Ryan had given me.

Maybe it's because I'm not in a good mood, and I'm often inexplicably distracted, and I can't devote myself to it as much as I used to.

Therefore, three full days have passed, and there is still no progress in the research on secret medicine.

I was so agitated that I never expected it - it turned out that before I knew it, Ryan had affected me so much......

I put down the potion bottle in my hand and sat in my chair in a daze, the colorless liquid in the potion bottle swaying slightly, undulating, just like my mood right now.

I've probably figured out the ingredients of this secret potion, but I don't know what to mix with to produce the effect of elemental blockage, and I think maybe Master Heber will know...... I should try my luck in the Boreal Forest and see if I can find her.

…… Besides, I do need a while to calm myself down.

☆★☆

With an idea in mind, I wiped my face with my hand, then stood up and opened the door of the pharmacy, but as soon as I opened it, a heavy object smashed straight in, making a dull sound.

I was startled, but I was stunned to realize that it was Ryan who was wrapped in a cloak and fell into the room.

It was late at night outside, and the thin starlight cast into the silent room, shining on his haggard and depressed face.

He seemed to have just woken up from his slumber, and was busy standing up with his hands propped up, he looked at me, and a flattering smile quickly squeezed out of his pale face, and his reddened eyes curved slightly: "Kroll......"

The voice was hoarse as if it had been sharpened by sandpaper, and I frowned, helped him to a chair and sat down, then poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

"After three days of study, there was no progress." I slowly straightened through the scattered potions on the table, and said to him, "I'd like to go to the Northern Forest and ask Master Heber, who taught me healing magic, to see if she can tell me something useful......

Kroll ...... Sorry ......"

It's still the same sentence.

I sighed, put down the flask in my hand, turned and walked over to Ryan, reaching out to comb his rough hardness.

“…… Well, I can't blame you for that, and I don't mean to blame you. I said, "Actually, I should also take some responsibility." ”

'There are so many doubts about Chelsea and although it seems clear now, the cause of our blockage has not been found.

"Honestly...... I have no intention of studying here, and I can't find the direction of my research, so I want to go to Master Heber......"

Before the words fell, my hand was tightly grasped by him: "...... Don't go. Ryan's amber eyes were a little dim at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly open, as if he was about to say something.

"I'm leaving." I raised my hand to cover his hand: "But this word is not what you think, as long as I find the reason, I will ...... back"

The unfinished words were swallowed up by Ryan's lips and tongue, and I tasted some salty and bitter taste, and I couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

“…… I know. Ryan whispered in my ear, his voice low and dry, "...... You always have your point, when to go? I'll send you. ”

I put my arms around his shoulders and sighed, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

"Well......" Ryan said sullenly, "...... Kroll, you ...... Don't you get mad at me? ”

“…… Have we reconciled? ”

"......" I sighed, "we never quarreled, so how could we need to be 'reconciled'." ”

I don't want to quarrel with him...... Maybe it's because it's too important, so I'm reluctant to use quarrels to kill emotions.

☆★☆

The third day after that night was a sunny but windy day. I said goodbye to Ryan and set out on my way to the Northern Forest.

Although I have learned a lot over the years, I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, and I don't know if this trip will be recognized by the Northern Forest, and whether I will be able to see Master Heber again.

☆★☆

After walking for about six days, I was relieved that a corner of the city gate of Buro City finally loomed in the distance. This is the nearest big town to the northern forest, after this town, it is the city of Luce, as long as you get to the city of Luce, then ...... It's also to the Boreal Forest.

However, when I was not far from the gate of Buro, I suddenly saw a strange thing.

- The gate of Bro is now open only a gap for one person to pass through the city, and there are people from the mercenary guild guarding the gate, and those who want to enter the city must be tested by the mercenary guild.

"Hey dude, I'm sorry, let's-"

Suddenly I was hit on the shoulder, and then I saw a big brown man running past me and hurried into the crowd in front of me, I frowned, thought for a moment, and walked quickly, and stood behind the man, and I saw that he was not covered with dust, and did not have a package in his hand, and kept looking out, thinking that he should be the native of the city, so I raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, dude."

The big man, hearing me call him, turned his head and asked:

"What's the matter?"

His brows were furrowed, and he looked anxious, impatient at my interruption.

"Uh...... I want to ask...... What's going on here? ”

"Oops...... Are you from outside? He looked me up and down.

"Yes, I'm from Tokyo University 6."

“…… No wonder you don't know. He rubbed his hands, pointed to the mercenaries in front of the gate of Buro City and said: "That's the case, the great nobles in Buro City, the Hebrew Viscount suddenly lost his magical ability a few months ago, and he can't be cured, so now those who want to enter the city must be tested by the mercenary union, and if they are healing magicians, they will be taken away by the mercenary guild." ”

"Healing mage?"

"Yes, you also know that there are very few healing magicians on this big 6, after the viscount fell ill, almost all the healing magicians in the city were detained in his castle, and my poor brother was injured when he was cultivating his fighting spirit, and he still can't find anyone to heal him......"

I see, no wonder he looks so anxious and flustered.

A strange illness of the viscount that no one can cure...... Could this be a test from the boreal forest? Thinking of this, a lot of chaotic thoughts popped up in my mind, and it took me a while to come back to my senses.

"By the way, since there are no healing mages in Buro City, why don't you go more and go to a farther town to find a healing mage to heal?"

"My brother's fighting spirit is surging in his body now, and he is forced to suppress himself every day, so as not to explode and die, and where is the strength to support him to go to other towns......" The big man shook his head, curled down, and covered his eyes.

I pondered for a moment, then took out a bottle of potion from the wooden box behind me and handed it to the big man: "This is a potion that has a suppression of fighting spirit, after drinking it with water, it can remain the same as an ordinary person for ten days, but I can't use fighting energy, I probably won't be able to see your brother face-to-face, but drinking this should be able to support him to go to the next town to find a healing magician who can heal him." ”

The big man took the potion with trembling hands and looked at me in disbelief: "You...... Are you a venerable healing magician? ”

I nodded slightly, and raised my hand, a turquoise glow appearing in my palm. As if he had received a great gift, he suddenly knelt down at me: "Thank you, Magician, thank you, Magician......"

I hurriedly helped him up, and just wanted to comfort him, but now the commotion here had attracted the attention of the Mercenary Guild, and two people were walking towards me.
