The blue mist is hazy and the smoke is curling up. Boom is still sitting cross-legged on the bed, but most of the villagers have started a new day of life, or another round of busyness.
Boom's black robe was hung at the door, the women made a fire to cook, and the men bundled wheat straw. The sound of humming came from the pig pen, and the crunching came from the cowshed.
A big rooster stood proudly on the well rope. As he crowed, the hens took the chicks out of the iron cage one after another.
"Master Magician, Master Magician! Chief Hook asked me to bring breakfast. Please open the door." A villager kept shouting while holding fried eggs and brown bread.
"Asshole! What are you doing! If you interrupt someone's practice, you may be burned to ashes." Seeing how rude he was, Hook's face instantly turned pale.
He knows something about magicians. He heard that these powerful people like to practice quietly, and if anyone dares to disturb them, they will be killed.
Although Boom is young and always speaks well, he has only been in contact with him for one day. As the old man said, God knows what he really thinks.
Creak! The wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and Boom stood in front of the two of them wearing that black robe with a smile on his face. He was neither angry nor annoyed.
"Brother Boom, I'm so sorry. They are poor people who have never seen the world. You must not argue with them." Hook laughed and turned to slap the villager on the head.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just got up, and I wanted to thank the woman who cleaned the mage's robe for me." Boom stroked the wrinkle-free black robe and said sincerely.
Then the three of them entered the earthen house where Boom was, eating breakfast and chatting about the interesting things they had heard. Naturally, Hook and the villager were the audience, because Boom's story was so exciting.
From the chaos in the slums of Augu City to the luxury in the aristocratic district. From the destruction of the Imperial College to the overthrow of the black market overnight. Boom spoke carefully, and Hook nodded repeatedly.
This was done deliberately by Boom. First, he wanted to make the other party believe that he was a local who escaped from Aogu City, and was definitely not a spy from other principalities.
The second is to prove his identity as a magician, because there are many things that the poor cannot know. For example, the demon baby incident in the aristocratic district was inconveniently the cause of the death of the third prince.
For Hook, Boom's straightforward behavior is the best way to communicate. He knew Boom's intentions and finally made a decision in his heart.
"Brother Boom, are you going to rest at home today or go for a walk?" Hook said as he stood up.
"I want to hunt wild beasts. This will not only improve my actual combat ability, but also pay for living here." Boom replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, Brother Boom is really joking. This is the first time a magician has visited us. We can stay as long as we want." Hook said and took the lead to walk towards the entrance of the village.
Boom followed closely, always with a smile on his face. He knew what the other party meant. The word "home" seemed unintentional, but it was the most sinister.
As an orphan, how can Boom resist the temptation of "home". But now he has a wonderful house and six flowers, so all this seems very ridiculous.
Hook walked in front. He did not look back at Boom, but he secretly admired the old man's shrewdness. Because he felt that Boom must be feeling a lot in his heart at this moment, and staying in the small mountain village was no longer a problem.
Boom followed behind, always with a neutral look. Although he wanted to move into this small mountain village to give himself and Rikka a place to stay, but if the other party always behaved like this, he wouldn't mind killing him.
.
Familiar place, familiar buffalo herd, familiar reeds. Boom unconsciously looked towards the hillside in the distance to see if he still saw that familiar figure.
At this time, Hook untied the cloth bag behind him and placed the pieces of ironware on the ground. Boom looked at these things curiously, but then he became confused about whether to laugh or cry.
A shovel for digging a trap, a hemp rope for binding the beast, a low-quality steel arrow, and a broken long knife. Hook put the things away skillfully, and then looked at Boom expectantly.
"Brother, let's hunt buffalo today. These animals are very timid and are the best hunting targets." He already knew the identity of Boom's magic apprentice, so he chose these weakest creatures.
"No, Chief Hook, please look at me first. If you are defeated, you can run away first." Boom wanted to give the other party a warning today, a warning that was enough to scare him.
Hook watched Boom walking toward the lions, and wanted to stop him, but somehow he kept his mouth shut. He needed to know the opponent's strength, because only in this way could he get along better with him.
Boom walked in the reeds that were half waist high, and finally stopped less than 20 meters away from the lions. The beasts roared instantly, and Hook tightened his grip on the long knife.
The black wooden staff danced gently, and a fireball the size of a watermelon appeared out of thin air, and then slowly floated towards the herd. The enraged lions bared their fangs and approached Boom step by step.
Hook felt that he was wrong. Although the other party was just a magic apprentice, for the small mountain village, he was a rare and precious resource.
But based on the current situation, the other party may die in the mouths of those beasts in the next second. This is my own error in judgment, and it is also the other party's arrogance.
However, at this time, Boom wrapped the black wooden staff with magic power, floating in the air as if alive. A very strange coercion slowly overflowed, which was the unique aura of a space magician.
"Twelve consecutive bullets!" Boom shouted, and in an instant twelve fireballs appeared around him. They were of different shapes, sizes and colors.
Boom! A huge boom echoed in the reeds. Countless lions were killed and injured instantly, while the rest chose to flee in all directions.
Boom held the black wooden staff with satisfaction and walked away again. The Zodiac Bullet was released again, and more lions were killed by it.
After doing this, he turned around and returned to Hook, with the smile still on his face. But in the eyes of the other party, Boom was no longer the down-and-out boy he was yesterday.
"Village Chief Hook, please find someone to move these corpses back. Treat them as a welcome gift for me as a new member." Boom sat on the ground and said nonchalantly.
"Oh, ah? How can that be done! These are your trophies, brother, we can't take them!" Hook replied dully.
"Hey, it seems I should leave. Maybe it would be good to go to Fata City for a stroll." Boom said with a "sad" look on his face, like an orphan who has been abandoned again.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that I feel a little ashamed. I have always doubted you before." Hook looked directly at Boom, without any suspicion in his eyes.
The beast's corpse was dragged back to the small mountain village by the villagers. This sudden surprise ignited everyone's emotions. Each family brought out food one after another, and the five children finally walked out of the barn.
Boom sat in the first place, constantly dealing with everyone's compliments, and occasionally "dyking" his glass to be filled. He drank so much that day that he couldn't even remember how he got back to the earthen house.
