With this thought, I calmed down a little, and then let go of the hand holding him: "Anyway, I'll take you out of here first." ”

☆★☆

Xavier stared at me for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing, just laughing and laughing, and he coughed again, his face flushed, and he looked like a wolf.

Xavier ......

"Kroll, I'm just...... So happy. Xavier covered his mouth with his hand, tried to suppress his cough, and said to me, "It's like a dream." ”

It's like a dream......

His tattered body and the scars on his cheeks all show the countless hardships he has endured over the years.

I swallowed the bitterness that welled up in my throat and smiled at him.

It's okay, now I have the ability to save him.

It's like he saved me back then.

"I have some health care potions here, you can take them for the time being, and drink one dose a day." I took out a few potion bottles from my robe and placed them on the table: "I'm helping the Viscount of Bro City to heal now, and when he gets better, I'll take you to the Northern Forest." ”

"There's a magician who teaches me healing magic, I think...... With her there, you have a good chance of recovery. ”

Xavier nodded, and ruffled his unkempt hair with his hand: "That...... I'm going to work? ”

“……”

He stood up a little cramped: "There is still a lot of work to be done today...... Those boys will snatch the food at night. ”

“…… Come with me today. I looked up and said to Xavier.

"Is that okay...... I can...... Leaving the plantation......"

"It's okay, I need a lot of Saint Louise Flowers, you can be my assistant, and bring Saint Louis Flowers into the city with me." I also stood up and reached out to take his arm: "It's okay, Xavier, I'll get you out of here. ”

He looked a little dazed, but he didn't say anything against my suggestion, and I said no more to him, turned and walked out of the cabin, and called Pyne over to arrange the rest of the business.

On the return bus, Xavier straightened his waist and stared at the scroll with the magic circle printed with the transfer of the Saint Louise Flower that had been picked, looking very funny.

"By the way, Xavier, my current name is Kolo, don't make a mistake in front of others."

Xavier turned his head to look at me and nodded earnestly, "Kolo, I remember. ”

"Yes." I smiled at him and turned to look out the window.

The majestic and tall plantation in the north of the city had gradually sunk into the thick night and disappeared into the distant horizon with the roar of traffic.

☆★☆

As the minutes ticked by, I felt the wind leak through the cracks in the windows, blowing my cheeks with pain.

It was pitch black outside the window, and it would be a while before the Viscount's castle was reached.

I looked at the dark road ahead and suddenly missed Ryan.

I would love to tell him so much joy and so much confusion that I am facing now.

- Ryan, I've finally found the friend I hold dear.

"Great, Kroll."

He would have said that, and then hugged and kissed me. His face was as happy as mine, and his amber eyes were as bright as the first rays of dawn.

"Ryan......" I muttered his name, my voice so low that it was drowned out by the whirring of the night wind.

☆★☆

Back at the castle of the Hebrew Viscount, I explained Xavier's origin to Luke, and after looking Xavier up and down, he shrugged helplessly: "Wizard Kolo, as long as you can cure the Viscount's illness, let alone this slave, even the plantation in the north of the city will become your private property." ”

"I understand, I just want some advance right now." I put my right hand on my left shoulder, and then lowered my head slightly: "The viscount's illness will be relieved soon, and I ask you to grant my request." ”

"As you wish, Venerable Magician." Luke's face was wrinkled as he rubbed the staff in his hand, but he agreed to my request and ordered Xavier to be prepared a small, clean room.

As long as Xavier can settle down temporarily, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

☆★☆

In the days that followed, I began to heal the body of the Hebrew Viscount with a potion made of Saint Louise flowers. Since he and Ryan were in pretty much the same situation, I saved myself a lot of trouble.

However, healing elemental stasis is a time-consuming affair, and I will probably be staying in Bro City for a long time, so I have some free time to send a letter to the Eastern Continent to tell Sù Ryan about some of the things that have happened to me here.

By the time I received his reply, it was already a month later.

There were only a few sentences on the beige letterhead, and the handwriting was messy, and it seemed that it had been written in a hurry.

[Great, Kroll, I know how important that friend is to you, and I'm glad for you. 】

[After you left, I also continued to investigate the Panson Welfare Institute. A few days ago, I unexpectedly discovered some new clues. 】

[The mercenary group is temporarily managed by Biden and Barron, and I will leave in half a month to join you in Bro City. 】

New Clues......

Is Ryan coming to Barrow City too?

Judging by the time mentioned in his letter, he arrived here only a few days ago.

My mind, which had been very calm, was suddenly a little chaotic, and there were more indescribable emotions, but ...... But I couldn't help but want to smile.

At the end of the letter, I saw a sentence crossed out by black ink.

【…… Can I go to Bro City? I miss you so much, Kroll. 】

I was a little speechless for a while, this guy was worried that I didn't want him to come, so he crossed out this sentence, so that I had no room to refuse him at all.

But...... If you don't want me to see it, you can use a knife to scrape it off. In the final analysis, the focus of this sentence is still in the latter sentence.

…… I don't know what to say, but Ryan is a funny guy.

☆★☆

Maybe it's because he knows that Ryan is coming here, and his boring life has become a little better.

"Are you happy? Kroll. ”

Xavier's voice came from beside me, and I turned to look at him and saw that he was playing with the empty flask in his hand.

"I'm in a good mood...... I put down the ground herbs in my hand and couldn't help laughing: "Because things to be happy about come one after another." ”

"Heh......" Xavier smiled as well, a deep dimple floating on his cheek.

I walked over to him, then took his hand, slowly pumped the healing elements into his body, and said to him, "You should also relax and make yourself happy." It's great for your body to heal. ”

"Yes." He nodded earnestly, smiling brightly at me with a mouthful of white teeth.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the pharmacy, and the voice of the castle guard was heard outside the door.

"Master Magician, a fighter has come from outside the castle, saying that he is here to find you."
