"You said you spent the whole day with a hunter today?" Boom handed the roasted rabbit meat to Rikka and asked curiously.
"Yes, since I have to keep pretending to be a human, I must have more contact and learn more." Rikka muttered while sprinkling chili powder.
"Then what did you say? Lost child?" Boom frowned and asked again.
"Child? Why are you so young? I'm just a low-level warrior now." Rikka chuckled and patted the twin swords on his waist.
Boom has always been in favor of Rikka's contact with humans. In his opinion, if a contracted beast wants to fully integrate into the human world, it must spend a lot of time with it.
But more exposure does not mean being defenseless. Boom, who has been living in the slums for many years, understands the sinister nature of the human heart best. The countless scars on his body are the most straightforward answer.
Although Rikka is powerful, she is still a child at heart. She can kill high-level strong men, but she cannot kill a group of high-level strong men.
If you are trapped by someone, with your current strength, let alone rescue, you will probably both die.
"You haven't used the ability of the contract beast, have you? Tell me about that person's situation, the more detailed the better." Boom grabbed the last rabbit leg and even shook off the peppers.
"Just tell me, if you give me the rabbit legs, my brother will be a nuisance!" Rikka tilted her head and told the whole story between herself and the middle-aged man.
After listening, Boom nodded slightly. If what Rikka said is true, then the other party is probably just an ordinary hunter, not a villain.
But you still have to be cautious about this kind of thing. Boom is very confident in Rikka's strength, but he doesn't dare to compliment her carefree character.
"Brother, why don't I just play by myself from now on? I really can't tell the difference between good and bad people." Rikka bit the rabbit leg and whispered.
She is not a fool, and naturally knows what Boom is worried about. But she has only been born for less than a year, and it is already a miracle that she has reached what she is today.
And in Rikka's heart, Boom is the existence she cares about the most. Although the outside world is wonderful, it can never compare to being by Boom's side.
Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly. It turned out that her brother had always been thinking about her, and had always stood behind her, guarding her silently.
"Why are you laughing? I mean, I have to be more careful in the future and keep you away from the crowd." Boom said while putting away the dishes.
"The reality is that I am just an ordinary person. From now on, I will leave everything to my brother." Rikka jumped to Boom's side with a smile and said in a very rogue manner.
"Oh? Aren't you a low-level warrior? You are one level higher than a magic apprentice like me." Boom turned around and replied, with flattery written all over his face.
After the meal, Boom and Rikka sat opposite each other on the ground. The former talked about his experience in getting along with others, while the latter lowered his head and recorded it completely in his notebook.
"Well, these are just the most superficial things. Everyone has their own judgment. You can only explore this by yourself." Boom looked at the serious look on the other party's face and found it very funny.
Human nature is always changing. The person may be a sage today, but become a guest in a dark prison tomorrow. It is like a piece of clay that can be shaped into a handicraft, or it may be worthless in the end. p>
And everyone looks at the world from a different perspective, just like a giant does not pay attention to the ants at his feet, and a goblin has never tasted the fragrance of the flowers under the eaves.
"Also, I have a bold idea. I wonder what you think..." Boom said again, while Rikka's face became more and more confused.
Boom and Rikka are now living in a dense forest. Although there is no problem for the time being, it is not a long-term solution. Since the other party is the head of a small mountain village, why not try to live in it.
"Then I'll just ask him tomorrow. Why does my brother have to go alone first and pretend that we never know each other?" Rikka asked her biggest doubt.
"I will sneak in as a down-and-out magic apprentice, and then you agree to Fang's invitation two days later. This way no one will doubt our identity." Boom explained.
"Then we can't live together from now on, no, no, no!" Rikka shook her head like a rattle, with a look of absolute disapproval.
Boom was stunned when he heard this, because in his opinion, whether the two of them lived together was not a problem at all. But he didn't expect that what Rikka cared about most was this matter.
"We can use the excuse of hunting to go out together every day, and then you can do whatever you want, and I will practice in the Wonder House." Boom thought for a while and said his own strategy.
After hearing this, Rikka was still a little reluctant, but she didn't make trouble anymore because she didn't want to embarrass Boom, let alone make him unhappy because of her.
In the Wonderful House, the conversation between the two continued from dusk until late at night. From tomorrow's "unexpected encounter" to every little detail after that.
At this time, the middle-aged man was sitting at home, surrounded by three villagers.
"Village Chief Hu Ke, this meat is enough for us to eat for more than two months. We are really lucky today." A villager smiled and wiped away his sweat, but his breath had not yet calmed down.
"If half of it is made into bacon, half of the winter reserves will be solved. Oh my god, this is a thunderstorm month." Another villager also looked very excited.
In the eyes of these mountain people, food is always the most important thing, because it is directly related to whether everyone can survive the dark rainy night.
But not everyone is immersed in this unexpected joy. The middle-aged hunter Hook is one, and the last elderly man is also one.
"Hook, is the other party really just a low-level warrior who goes out to practice? He doesn't have any other intentions." Finally, the old man asked slowly.
"It shouldn't be so. Do you think there is anything valuable in this small mountain village like ours? Oh, except for those children!" Hook was suddenly surprised. Although he did not live in Aogu City, he often went in and out, and he knew very well that the slave owners
Their evil deeds.
"You two gather all the children into the barn immediately, and no one can leak any news." Hook ordered the two previous villagers.
Not long after, the five children in the small mountain village were brought to the barn. Although their parents were reluctant, they believed in Hook's judgment.
Because Hook is the only one who can go out hunting alone, and he is also the teacher of his children. Over the years, he has broken countless bow strings and blunted countless long knives, just so that everyone can eat.
"However, if the other party is really an orphan soldier as you said, we may be able to win him over." The old man said again with his eyes closed.
"Win over? What to win over? That old sow of yours?" Hook replied a little discouraged. It's not that he has never had this idea, but how can a young and promising professional like that live in a shelter?
In my own small mountain village.
"Hook, you were once an orphan. You must know better than me what orphans need most." After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and left, while Hook fell into deep thought.
