The black rain came to an end in the early morning of the next day, but the snowy moon that followed seemed even colder. Today, Boom wore the black robe embroidered with gold petals, and sat at the wooden table with Rikka to eat.
Lunch.
The same goes for Rikka, but her expression is still a little awkward. Because those two flowers are so ugly, I think some people would believe those who embroidered them with their feet.
Boom did not choose to practice today, but planned to make up for his responsibility as an elder brother. Yesterday was Rikka's birthday. Instead of saying anything, he received a robe sewn by Rikka himself.
The dark cuisine appeared again, and there were three plates of food placed on the wooden table. Rikka had a sad face and kept swallowing the bread in her hands.
The first plate contained two dark salted fish, which had a strange and pungent smell. The second plate contained beef stew with potatoes, but it looked like leftovers from the trash can.
.
As for the third plate, it was pan-fried meatloaf. Although it looked normal on the outside, Rikka drank a whole pot of water after tasting it.
"Is it really so unpalatable?" Boom asked with a frown. Since his last failure, he spent two days specifically hoping to improve his cooking skills.
As Boom said this, he poked a piece of meat pie with a fork. But as soon as it was put into his mouth, Boom also ran to the pool like Rikka.
"Brother, are you okay? Hahahaha." Rikka leaned against the door, smiling like a shrimp.
Throughout the afternoon, Boom's ears were filled with the other party's strange aura. He smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, and now he gave up the idea of cooking again.
When the setting sun disappeared into the horizon, the two of them left the small courtyard. Rikka held Boom's arm, her eyes full of happy smiles.
She was very happy today because Boom actually mentioned going out for a walk and even promised her to go to the Lion Bar for a drink.
The two of them walked slowly in Aogu City, with pedestrians flowing around them constantly, and the entire royal city fell into a huge noise.
The still warm white sugar cake was taken into the dimensional space by Rikka. Boom held the latest issue of the secret monthly magazine in his hand and chatted with the other party with a smile.
However, Rikka always paid attention to the expressions of passers-by, fearing that the embroidered flower petals on the black robe would become a stain on Boom. But the result was unexpected, because no one paid attention to these dispensable decorations.
Half an hour later, the two of them were sitting in the Lion Bar. After ordering some drinks and dishes, they listened to the sounds around them. Although most of these so-called gossips were false, there was still some useful information in them.
something.
"Boss, why did you change the bard? Where is the original one?" Rikka pointed at the old man who was adjusting the strings and asked curiously.
"I heard that he traveled around the ancient continent, but I guess he was poached by taverns in other principalities." The boss Achilles said with a smile.
Just when Rikka was about to ask more questions, the new bard plucked the strings, and everyone in the bar became quiet.
"The lion and the lone wolf accompany each other, the two-headed dragon soars in the clouds, the mountain scorpion clings to the golden mountain, and the evil tiger roars continuously."
"Cobwebs cling to roses, elk are as skinny as wood, horseshoes are covered with snow, and icefield butterflies wander in the cold wind."
"Brown bears and squids are best partners, and the eagles in the distance are watching eagerly."
"Three arrows and spears advanced side by side, but in the end they were hindered by the two swords."
"The anvil is sparking, the blood ax is flashing, the skull flag is sailing, and the rusty wrench is twisting."
At the end of the song, earth-shattering applause erupted in the Lion Bar, and even Boom nodded, recognizing the other party's ability.
These five seemingly simple sentences contain all clan emblems. This requires not only a certain amount of knowledge, but also profound and unique personal insights.
But Rikka on the side listened in confusion. She looked confused at this time, but she still took out a silver coin and threw it into the center of the field.
"Do you understand?" Boom asked with a smile as he took a sip of wine.
"No! I can't understand a word!" Rikka said with a grimace and answered honestly.
The new bard, after collecting the money on the ground, immediately started singing again.
"The ships on Tiegou Island are the strongest, and the dairy products in Wudun City are the sweetest."
"The ale in Sombra Castle is extremely fragrant, but no one has seen the legendary Ether Magic Crystal."
"The City of Arms always exudes the fragrance of medicine, and the fruits of the Glimmer Forest are sweet and tempting."
"The tea fields in the Hurricane Plains are like a sea of green, and the dragon crystals in Mount Angmar are perfect."
"The noise in Alchemy City never stops, and the clouds in the sky are replaced by airships."
"The snow in Changsuo City never melts all year round, and the sea water in Zhanshen Bay is blood red."
Quiet! No one makes a sound in the Lion Bar. People keep thinking about these six lines because they contain too much information.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Countless coins collided with the ground and made a series of noises. Most of the people who donated generously this time were the mercenaries.
Because they know best the accuracy of these lyrics, which they have seen, heard, and experienced with their own eyes.
Boom was leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes flashing. He was not illiterate like Rikka, so he could naturally understand the scenes described in the lyrics.
A trace of throbbing quietly took root in my heart. When Boom became a junior magician, he yearned more and more for the outside world.
But this thought has always been suppressed by him. The reason is very simple. He is still too weak. And Rikka is still a mystery until now.
Shaking his head, Boom slowly pulled away from his thoughts. But what caught his eye were Rikka's big, watery eyes.
"Brother, would you like to take me to see the snow in the future? What is snow?" Rikka asked with a longing look on her face.
Boom was stunned when he heard this, but then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Because Boom has never left Aogu City since the day he could remember, and it does not snow in Aogu City in winter.
"Actually, I haven't seen many things you haven't seen before," Boom replied softly.
"Really? That's great! Then let's go outside and have a look together!" Rikka smiled sweetly after hearing this, and then held Boom's hand again.
The bard's voice sounded again, and Boom and Rikka also listened quietly. But the world in his mouth was an unknown awe to Boom, but in Rikka's eyes, it became an outing.
Silver coins were thrown out by Rikka, no more, no less. This was Boom's intention. It would not make them appear mean, nor would they get into trouble for spending money like water.
As for Achilles, the owner of the Lion Bar, he clapped his hands with great satisfaction, because a capable bard like this is the best choice to attract customers.
The bard was sitting on the bar at this time, drinking ale and chatting and laughing with others. It seemed that he knew every problem and knew every secret.
As for those around him, they kept expressing their doubts. Some people got satisfactory answers, while others fell into greater confusion.
