The day after Boom left, the dense forest was still the same dense forest, and Rikka was still the same Rikka. But she chose to stay in the Wonderful House, eating snacks and reading notes.
The midday sunlight was separated by the branches and finally appeared in the form of spots. The owls had already fallen into a deep sleep and hid in tree holes.
Tomorrow is the day agreed with Boom. Rikka looked at the scenery outside the window, looking a little expectant and a little confused. She wanted to be inseparable from Boom, but she was extremely resistant to the unfamiliar environment.
Putting on the gray linen hood and inserting the two meteorite iron swords, Rikka put away the Wonder House, slowly walked out of the dense forest, and ran towards the direction of Ogu City.
And the bookmark of the sycamore leaf happened to be sandwiched between the page about rebellion.
Familiar with the road and without any obstacles, Rikka returned to Ogu City again. It was deserted and lifeless. She stood opposite the black market, as if she was thinking about an old friend.
Walking on the bluestone road, Liuhua found that she had long been accustomed to the life in Aogu City and had already regarded this place as her home.
Plunging into the market area, countless ingredients were stuffed into the dimensional space, and the tailor shop was emptied one after another. As for the dried meat and ale, they were already piled up.
As the sun set, Rikka sat in the monastery, listening to people's chants and looking at the huge stone statues of the gods. She did not pray because she did not believe in the gods.
A gold coin was put into the wooden box, and the nun next to her bowed and saluted. Rikka turned and left, as if she had never been here before. She liked the smell here, the smell of Boom.
Eating soft white sugar cake and sending away the beggars. Rikka came to the Lion Bar and sat in the box with the boss Achilles.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Rikka and his opponent stood in the backyard, waiting for the magic barrier to come.
But the result seemed to have never changed, and even tended to become unbalanced. Blood flowed from the corner of Achilles' mouth, and he was half-kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of bitterness.
But Rikka didn't even use the illusion this time, and just relied on the two meteorite iron swords to beat the opponent severely. If the opponent hadn't begged for mercy, he would have been dead and dismembered by now.
Drink, eat meat, and have a carnival! Rikka is like the most shameless mercenary, sometimes pulling others to punch, sometimes grabbing the sauced meat on the plate.
"If you have something on your mind, you should talk to the person you trust most, rather than drinking to drown your sorrows or causing trouble." Achilles pressed Rikka's hand and said sincerely.
"But that person is not around now. You are a good person, but I won't believe you." Rikka stood up and left without leaving a single copper coin.
She originally planned to return to the Miracle Plain, but she stopped at the edge of the Noble District. She thought of the old Marquis and his wife.
Boom's route that night reappeared again, including cowsheds, eaves, dark alleys, and walls. But when Rikka arrived at the old Marquis's courtyard, she was stunned.
The originally magnificent mansion was now dilapidated, like a miraculous plain trampled by a hundred elephants. And the two seals were filled with the royal family's resentment.
A dragon crystal appeared instantly, and Liuhua rubbed it, recalling the old Marquis' request for him, and even the desperate look in his and his wife's eyes.
Queen Isabella, Rikka smiled, this was her first debt of gratitude. But she didn't expect that she would directly challenge the Ogu royal family, and she didn't know if Boom would help.
Turning around and leaving, Rikka tumbled into the black market like a ghost and returned to the small courtyard. Although everything had been destroyed, the remaining tiles still separated a space.
The familiar sycamore tree was cut in half, and the familiar wooden door was broken into countless pieces. Rikka lit a candle and hung the lantern under the eaves again.
She huddled in the space made of broken tiles, her eyes dimmed. The laughter and laughter of the past reappeared, and she could always sleep peacefully during countless unforgettable nights.
Rikka slowly stretched out her arms, trying to grab something, but she could only grasp a sliver of air. The Wonderful Room unfolded instantly, she opened the door curtain, and walked in as if for countless times.
The charcoal fire was lit, the rice cooked, the ale warmed, and the dinner plates set. Rikka sat on the ground alone, eating her dinner alone.
Only then did she realize that her attachment to Boom had reached an unimaginable level. But she was extremely panicked about it because she was not sure that the other person was like her.
The fire crackled and the moon shone silvery white. Rikka hugged herself with her arms and slowly closed her eyes.
She wants to sleep because when she wakes up, she will see Boom. She doesn’t want to sleep because she is destined to be alone tonight and is destined to be accompanied by loneliness.
The black market is like an existence separated from Aogu City. No one comes to disturb it, and no one cares about it. Rikka slept until dawn, and even when she woke up, the sun was already shining brightly.
After putting away the Wonderful House and putting on the gray linen hood, she quietly left the black market and Aogu City.
Walking on the Miracle Plain, Rikka breathed out the suffocating breath held in her chest, and a smile appeared on her face again. Today she will meet her brother, although the way is a bit special.
Arriving at the place where they parted ways with the middle-aged man, Rikka drew out the twin swords of meteorite iron, imitated Boom, and started her own performance.
An hour later, the middle-aged man "arrived as promised." He looked at Rikka in surprise, but his face was full of smiles.
"Are you here to practice again? We are really destined." The middle-aged man said loudly.
"It's fate, why don't I bring some wild beasts back every day and you can give me food to eat?" Liuhua cut off the buffalo's neck with his sword and replied angrily.
"Haha, my name is Hook, and I am the head of a small mountain village. I now officially invite you to move in!" Hook seemed to have grown up after the Boom incident, at least getting rid of those useless hypocrisies.
"Wine and meat?" Rikka asked.
"If you have enough ale, you can eat as much meat as you like," Hook replied.
"How many beasts are there every day?" Rikka asked again.
"At least one, the more the merrier." Hook replied.
"Is there a handsome young man?" Rikka suddenly asked, changing the topic.
"Uh... I guess so, but we advocate free love there." Hook replied again.
The sunshine coated the Miracle Plain with a layer of golden color. Hook walked in front and Rikka followed. As for the corpses of the beasts, villagers would take care of them.
Rikka did not wear the gray linen hood this time, but put on a leather armor. Coupled with the twin iron swords on her waist, the whole person looked particularly energetic.
All the villagers lined up on both sides, welcoming Rikka into the small mountain village as if welcoming a noble. And Boom was naturally inside, but because of his height limit, he was lost in the crowd.
"This is our lucky year. Thank the gods for sending a magician and a powerful warrior!" Hook said while holding the wine glass.
He is very happy because this is his hometown and all the villagers are his elders, brothers and sisters.
"The black rainy night will become history from now on, and the death of the beasts is coming." A villager agreed.
"Master Magician, how do you think my child is doing? Is it a good seedling?" asked another villager.
"Sister, sister, I want to be a warrior when I grow up. Look at my muscles." The children gathered around and said all kinds of things.
