At midnight, Boom was practicing his magic power under the soft light of the magic crystal shadow lamp. This had nothing to do with the dark elf Christine across the door. It was just that he was in the High Garden and had to be cautious.
Rikka was still chewing rice balls in the dimensional space, her red face seemed to be dripping with blood, and seven or eight clay pots were filled with broken glutinous rice and saliva.
The owl cooed on the branch. Boom finished his practice, stood up and gently wrapped Rikka's blanket. This was his habit from Augu City to today.
The morning light is like a mountain spring, awakening the sleeping people and melting countless dews into it. The sewage ditch that has been calm all night speeds up, and the drunkards on the roadside are replaced by businessmen.
At this time, Boom was standing in the house, calmly looking at the sleeping Rikka. Although he didn't know what the other party was doing in the dimensional space, he was sure that he had been busy all night.
Go out and make an omelette with milk. The sausage as thick as a thumb is sizzling in the pan, and the twisted bacon slices are browned and crispy.
The salt grains turned into fine snow and floated in the air, and the cold silver plate reflected Boom's confidence. But he still had some self-awareness and was not prepared to face the Dark Elf this morning.
"Get up, get up, if you don't get up, the sun will hit your butt!" Boom cleared his throat and shouted in imitation of Rikka's tone.
After Boom placed the dinner plates neatly, he squatted beside Rikka's bed and kept shaking his arm. Rikka, who was originally sleeping, naturally woke up instantly.
"Well, good morning, brother, why are you having sore throat today?" Rikka stood up unsteadily and said while wiping her saliva.
"Get up quickly, I've prepared breakfast." Boom patted the other party's little head and replied with a smile.
"What! Brother cooked again today? Why? Do you want to murder someone?" Liuhua woke up instantly after hearing this, but her face looked very ugly.
Not long after, the two of them were eating and chatting. Boom did not ask about the origin of the chewing wine, and Rikka naturally would not tell the whole story.
This is what the so-called trust is. As long as one party is still smiling, the other person will not have any worries or even a doubt.
"Brother, what are we doing today? It's so boring here, why don't we go have a barbecue outside the city." Rikka said while clearing the plates.
"Well, how about going to the mercenary union? Our 'Rikka Mercenary Group' has never taken on a mission." Boom thought for a while and replied.
"Oh? Mercenary! He's going to find the most difficult mission today. It would be better if he goes to another place."
Rikka was wearing a Viking war dress, with two meteorite swords hanging on her waist. Boom was wearing a black robe, but her expression looked very helpless. The courtyard door slowly opened, and the noisy noise gradually expanded.
An hour later, the two stood on the street, with Boom looking strange and Rikka looking helpless. The parchment recording the mission was in his hands, but the mission seemed too childish.
"Brother, we are really going to catch cats today. Why don't you go there by yourself? I'm sleepy." Liuhua lowered her head and whispered.
"Captain Rikka, this is the first mission of our mercenary group. Can you be more serious?" Boom put the parchment away and replied with a wry smile.
As a new mercenary group with only two members, the tasks they can take on are very limited. This is not because they are deliberately making things difficult, but out of the protection of the client.
Although the so-called difficult tasks in Rikka's mouth are well-paid, not everyone can take them. This requires not only accumulation of strength, but also good reputation.
Therefore, after some selection, the two finally accepted the first task. The content was very simple, they found a long-haired cat in the High Court.
Time passed quickly, and Boom and Rikka had already circled the noble area twice. Although the wild cats saw a lot, the target never appeared.
In the end, Boom disembowelled a dead mouse and threw it into the courtyard under the astonished eyes of his employer. The three of them squatted in the corner, while an old cat slowly appeared.
Seeing this, Rikka was overjoyed, and then turned her body into a hurricane, instantly grabbing the back of the opponent's neck. With a burst of heart-rending howling, the "Rikka Mercenary Group" officially completed its first transaction.
Five gold coins were put into the account, but Rikka was about to leave, but was suddenly pulled back by Boom. The two stood in the alley across the street, quietly looking at the cat and its owner.
Tears overflowed her eyes and fell to the ground along the cat's long hair. The girl slowly let go of her hands, no longer restraining the other person, and allowed him to move freely.
"You are his pet, but he has died at the border. If you insist on looking for him, I will not stop you anymore."
"However, the pain in my heart is no less than yours! He is my lover, the man who promised to stay with me forever!"
"If his soul is attached to your body, then please stay with me, at least until I die of lovesickness!"
The girl sat slumped on the grass, completely ignoring the noble carriages that occasionally passed by, not to mention the complicated expressions of the servants.
The words of her lover seemed to be in her ears, so soft, as cautious as touching a glass toy. But during these days when even breathing was painful, the girl could only immerse herself in collecting the cat's voice, refusing to believe the words of others.
.
I don’t know when she started telling lies. Every day she either smiled and cheered up, or pretended to be nonchalant and went in and out of the old restaurant.
Today she put on a pale pink robe, with exquisite embroidery neatly stretched out, and the leather ropes in her hair were tightly wrapped in circles. The old servant beside her lowered her head and put a shawl on her tremblingly.<
/p>
"Miss, do you have to go and have a look? The money left by the master is enough to cover your expenses, so why are you so desperate?" the old slave said softly.
"If I don't come back tonight, I'll leave this place to you. Thank you for taking care of me over the years." The girl held the cat and slowly walked into the crowd.
There was no sound in the alley, and Boom shook his head. Although he felt that the other party was a little miserable, he did not have too many emotions. Everyone has his own life, and living his own life well is the most important thing.<
/p>
Rikka bit her lip and kept stretching her head to look into the distance, but the body she wanted to look for was pulled gently by Boom. Rikka turned to look at Boom, her eyes already filled with tears.
"Brother, if someone disappears one day, will you look for them?" Rikka held Boom's arm and lowered her head and asked.
"I think so. At least I'm going to avenge you." Boom replied in a low voice while dodging the crowd.
"Then what if brother can't defeat the opponent?" The noise in the market area gradually decreased, and Rikka asked again as she pushed open the courtyard door.
"Revenge may be a new round of suffering, and death may also mean reunion with loved ones again. If you are not me, how can you know my final choice?" Boom sat by the bed and asked with a smile.
After dinner, the two of them leaned on the bedside, each thinking about their own things. Boom looked at the mark on the mercenary document, and then put it into his storage bag.
But Rikka looked out the window, imagining a girl holding a cat, standing at the border of the Golden Halberd Plain. Her robe danced in the wind, and the stars in the night condensed into her lover.
