"If we move along this route, we will first arrive at the 'Horned Bay' and then the main city of the Pava Federation, Jackdaw City."
"The distance between the two is less than a few days' journey, so we might as well go to the Strawberry Bay to have a look first, maybe we can get something unexpected."
Christine spread out the map of the Pava Federation, first clicked on a certain location, and then moved her finger to another town marked with a red circle.
This is the third day that Boom and his team arrived in the Pava Federation. After everyone has completed their purchases and Gloria has sobered up, they plan to leave for Jackdaw City.
However, Christine's suggestion is to go to the Strawberry Bay first. This is for safety reasons, because very few "merchants" will go straight to Jackdaw City, completely giving up the Pava Federation's only foreign trade.
Port.
"Of course I don't have any problems, so let's make this decision."
"Perseus is in charge of the rear area, and Hastur is taking the Marauder's Map a thousand meters ahead to try to avoid danger in advance. Just don't cause trouble for me, Rikka, we can still count on you to cook." p>
"As for Gloria... you should stay with me and Christine. After all, you were just born and are not yet fully adapted to this world."
Boom, as the nominal leader of the group of six people, said some unnecessary nonsense as usual. Then Perseus slowed down and protected the rear from being attacked by the enemy, while Hastur used the shadow technique, and for a moment
He floated a thousand meters away and acted as a scout with ease.
"Oh yo yo? Why can this stinky girl stay with my brother, but what about others? What does 'just don't cause trouble' mean, my brother bullies me!"
When Rikka heard this, she spat out a core, and then her face fell down, as if Boom would cry if she couldn't give a satisfactory answer.
But Rikka was very satisfied with the sentence "We still count on you to cook". As a cook, she likes others to recognize her skills the most, especially Brother Boom.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense every day? Brother Boom likes me the most, so naturally I should be by your side."
"Wild girl, don't forget to prepare more desserts before you think about what to eat for lunch."
After sobering up, Gloria returned to her elegant and arrogant look, still wearing the black dress, the same blood-red petals, and the same unforgiving mouth.
But Boom strictly prohibited her from mentioning those "crazy things" she did while drunk. Therefore, Gloria didn't know that her disgusting behavior toward Rikka even ended up vomiting out most of the beer, staining the soil.
Boom's mage robe, and bed sheets and quilts.
"Okay, you two have time to bicker here, why not read a few more books and learn more about the most basic laws of order in this world."
Boom saw that the two little girls were beginning to quarrel again, so he quickly interrupted. After this period of getting along, Boom also understood Gloria's character more and more. She was a little girl with a temper as bright as the sky.
Sometimes the sky is so clear that you don't want to step on a cockroach to death, and sometimes you are so cruel that you regard life as nothing and suck out the last drop of blood.
Gloria seems to dislike having too much interaction with strangers. In her eyes, Perseus and Hastur are just two servants. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will be sarcastic and verbally abusive.
Christine's situation is slightly better, but only during teaching time. Usually, if Christine is too harsh, Gloria will ignore it at best, or glare at her with anger at worst.
As for Rikka, Gloria seems to be born with hostility. But after yesterday's drunken lies, everyone also understood that Gloria is simply an extremely evil little girl. The more people she cares about, the more she cares about.
The more ruthless she becomes. This is like a boy who is not good at expressing his feelings. He always seems at a loss in front of the girl he loves. In the end, he can only bully the other person to express some special feelings.
However, Gloria always looked cute and well-behaved only when she was in front of Boom. In other words, whenever Boom said something, Gloria would obey him without any hesitation.
This is because she condensed the life force of Rikka, and Rikka has already merged with Boom's soul, and has long regarded Boom as her only blood relative.
The Eagle Claw Harbor behind it is becoming increasingly blurry. Although it is always gray, there are occasionally eagles taking their young out of the nest to practice.
The herd of beasts was still lazy, which disappointed Rikka so much that he couldn't even get up the mood to kill. There was an endless stream of passing caravans, some of them were fighting spirit professionals wearing armor, or people wearing long robes.
Magicians, or several small caravans left together.
Boom warned Rikka not to act rashly, which naturally gave those caravans an advantage. At least in the Coniferous Plain, they would not encounter the "White Death" coming.
As the sun sets, the cool night breeze stirs the bonfire, spreading the aroma. Boom is still holding his clay bowl and sucking the meat soup, Rikka is still smiling at her brother eating, and Christine is still just
Eat vegetarian dishes.
Perseus gave the first piece of roasted beef marrow to Rikka with both hands, and then gave the second piece to Gloria, who just started chewing it happily. Hastur did the same, waiting for the third skewer of lamb kidneys
After the oil bloomed, we finally started to have dinner together.
Regarding this habit that is somewhat similar to that of the great nobles, Boom has said it more than once. However, what responded to him was the rejection of Perseus and Hastur, saying that this should be the case between ancient beasts and relics.
Even though Gloria is a mysterious existence.
From then on, Boom stopped caring about this kind of behavior, but he still persuaded Gloria that everyone was a companion and there was no need to act like this.
Gloria nodded in agreement without hesitation. However, Perseus and Hastur remained the same, but they no longer called Gloria "Little King", but changed their name to "Little King".
"My lord".
"Lord Gloria, would you like another piece?" Perseus asked after seeing that the roast beef bone marrow in the other person's hand was finished.
"No need, I'm very satisfied with your performance today. I'll keep vigil alone at night. I just have to practice alchemy." Gloria replied coldly after hearing this, her tone unquestionable.
This is also a little habit of Gloria. She likes to practice or read alone, and is extremely disgusted by being disturbed during the process, not even Boom.
So Rikka rolled her eyes one day and suggested that Gloria could replace Perseus and Hastur at any time to keep vigil. Gloria had no objection after hearing this and regarded it as a trivial matter.
However, Rikka's little idea is to get rid of the other person, because then she can be alone with Brother Boom and return to the warm time of the past.
The bonfire crackled, candlelight lit up in the Wonderful House, and Perseus also returned to the original form of the Hanging Tree. Gloria was still sitting under the night, sometimes sketching some alchemy formation with her fingers in the void, sometimes frowning,
There seems to be a key link that I still can’t figure out.
"Release the soul butterfly to protect Gloria. After all, she has just been born, so don't let anything happen to her." Christine's voice sounded faintly, and then a dark soul butterfly emerged from Hastur's left eye.
The bird floated out of the nest and immediately flew to Gloria's side.
"Don't disturb me reading, otherwise even your sister will be implicated." Although Gloria said this, she did not drive away the soul butterflies, and she did not even raise her head.
