The tragedy in the small mountain village did not make Boom sad. As an orphan in the royal city, he had seen even more miserable things. Rikka only had Boom in her eyes, let alone have feelings for others.
The two of them slept until noon this afternoon because they were digging a tunnel last night. Boom woke up from peeing, and Rikka got up and went to the kitchen, planning to make a fool of herself.
She doesn't like this small courtyard, it's strange and dirty. It doesn't have the tranquility of the black market, nor the tranquility of the small mountain village. But now, this is her home.
"It's time to eat. If you don't get up, you'll have to take off the quilt." Rikka shouted, holding two plates of stir-fried vegetables.
After receiving secret training from village women, Rikka's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Not only does the taste taste much better, but the appearance is also more beautiful.
Five minutes later, Boom endured the cold wind while eating food. This is Rikka's stubbornness. She must not close the window before getting rid of the smell in the house.
"Brother, do you know how to use wind magic? Let's blow it." Rikka grimaced and her nose twitched from time to time.
"I'm not a god, you can do it if you want." Boom didn't look up, he was really hungry.
In the afternoon, Rikka kept cleaning the small courtyard, sometimes wiping here and sometimes wiping there. Boom sat in the house and kept casting attack circles, but the power was only able to blow out the candlelight.
Now that he is in Ogu City, Boom naturally has to be careful. Otherwise, if he does something wrong, not only will he be thrown into the prison, but even Rikka will die miserably on the street.
And this method of controlling magic output is what magicians should learn. It is very simple to attack wantonly, but being able to do whatever you want is the basis of a master.
Although Boom didn't think he could become a master, it was still right to work hard. This was just like the boring training before, which eventually turned into confidence when he advanced.
"The egg of the mayfly, the source of magic, the scarlet vacuum tunnel, the countless black spots that penetrate the barrier, in my name, attack the magic circle!" A long mantra blurted out, and the candle in front of him was extinguished four seconds later. The rhythm is orderly, the spells are clear, the magic power is abundant, and the power is good. But the speed is still the same as before, as slow as a stuttering bard.
Boom smiled bitterly and took back the black wooden staff. He had no mentor, and the parchment did not explain this problem. Therefore, Boom regarded it as a normal phenomenon and blamed it on his low magic power.
Reciting spells, casting spells, and resting. Boom repeated these three actions like a doll. Sometimes the fire flashed in the room, sometimes the breeze surged, sometimes dust scattered, and sometimes it became damp.
But Rikka in the courtyard was wrapping the lower half of her face with a piece of cloth. The bucket in her hand kept getting lighter, and the liquid mixed with disinfectant powder was flying everywhere.
This situation continued until the evening. After repeated testing, Rikka nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the trash can was filled with cockroaches, bed bugs, and five or six rat corpses.
But fortunately, the wind of Shui Tan Yue is very powerful, which not only blows away the strange smell of the small courtyard, but also cools Rikka's heart that is on the verge of explosion.
Returning to Aogu City again is a trivial matter for Boom. But for her, apart from being closer to the market area, it cannot be compared with that dense forest.
But this time Rikka didn't complain, and she didn't even show the slightest bit of disappointment. She was also growing up slowly, and was slowly integrating into the human race.
Carrying a familiar bamboo basket and holding her favorite brother on her arm, she looked at the crowded crowd and listened to countless dirty words. Liuhua picked the ingredients with ease, and then returned separately from Boom.
The two of them were walking on both sides of the road like strangers. Liuhua jumped and opened the door to return to the small courtyard, while Boom opened the door of the wooden house, like a poor person who has lived here for many years.
Gently lifting a stone slab, Boom quietly climbed into the tunnel. A few minutes later, covered in dirt, he returned to the small courtyard.
"Brother, I have a hard time cleaning. You can clean up before entering the house next time." Rikka protested with a dissatisfied look on her face, holding up the spatula.
"I know, it's my fault. I'll tell you a story tonight." Boom took off his robe without hesitation, causing Rikka's pretty face to turn red.
After the meal, Rikka nestled next to Boom, nudging each other like a cat. Boom, on the other hand, held a sketch of the magic circle, with regret in his eyes.
"Brother, this is the magic circle. Why is it so messed up? Is it used to exorcise ghosts?" Rikka grabbed the paper and asked curiously.
"Exorcise ghosts? Exorcise you big-headed ghost!" Boom sighed looking up to the sky. He did not expect that the spell he had practiced for many days would turn into the deception trick the other party said.
"Hehe, I'm just joking. But brother, your casting speed is a bit slow. If you get into a fight, you will definitely be killed." Rikka looked at Boom and said with some worry.
Boom was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that even Rikka, a magical idiot, could actually see his own flaws. What does this mean? It means that his magic moves are just a piece of shit and have no practical use.
The two continued to chat, Rikka asked about tomorrow's menu, and Boom revealed the principle of attacking the magic circle. Rikka is Boom's only relative, and the only one who can tell the truth.
Rikka tilted her head. From being indifferent at first, to frowning slightly in the middle, she finally looked at Boom up and down as if she was looking at a fool.
Boom was overwhelmed by this expression. After making sure that he was not incontinent, he raised his hand and pinched Rikka's little face.
"Let go! Brother, let go quickly, my face will be pinched!" Rikka kept wailing, and "hit" Boom's chest with her small fists.
"Next time you dare to make fun of me, I will throw you into the garbage dump. It just so happens that you can also practice the gift of liberation swordsmanship." Boom let go of his hand and lay on the bed with his head up.
Rikka patted Boom again angrily, but then rolled her eyes, mysteriously leaned into the other person's ear, and expressed her thoughts.
"Brother, your attack array is normally composed of four arrays, right?" Rikka asked.
"Yes, fire, water, wind and earth, the four elemental systems, and the four magic arrays." Boom replied honestly.
"That means, brother, each magic circle currently requires one second of casting time, a total of four seconds?" Rikka asked again.
"That's right, the damn casting time is four seconds. Even a fool can kill me." Boom sighed, looking a little disappointed
"If, I mean if, brother, why don't you only use one magic circle at a time? The power of stacking it four times is not small, right?" Rikka finally expressed her thoughts.
Boom, who was originally sighing, suddenly trembled when he heard this. If this hypothesis can be realized, the effect of the attack circle will be comparable to his own fire "Zodiac Continuous Bomb".
Rikka, on the other hand, was startled by Boom's expression, and saw him turn over and crawl to the corner, staring at him with a wicked smile. The meaning between his eyebrows clearly said: Don't come over.
"Rikka, you are such a little genius. Come here quickly. Whatever story you want to hear, my brother will tell it to you." Boom cleared his throat and said with a serious face.
"Well, I'm sleepy. It's time to go to bed. Brother, let's play by yourself." Liuhua covered her face with the quilt, but the smile on her lips lingered for a long time.
