"Brother, brother, do you think my new clothes look good?"
"Brother, brother, do you want to eat beef or chicken today?"
"Brother, brother, are you tired? Why are you ignoring me?"
Days continued as usual, but Boom gradually discovered that Rikka was far more clingy than expected. No matter how indifferent he was, the other party always seemed to enjoy it.
If this kind of thing happened to a noble, it might be lucky. But for Boom, who was born as an orphan, it gradually became a sweet burden.
He didn't want to hurt Rikka's enthusiasm and always responded as much as possible. However, the result was that his practice was intermittent, and he even misremembered the key points of knowledge in the book last night.
He also thought about showing shame, no matter how sad the other party was, he could just ignore it and get over it. But relatives are relatives, or because of the existence of a master-servant contract, he never acted like this.
But the problem must always be solved, not only for the sake of my own cultivation, but also for the hope that the other party will find something to do. They will not be like now, doing nothing all day long.
"Rikka, since you are a contract beast, besides being able to turn your hands into sharp blades and the dimensional space in your belly, what other abilities do you have?" Boom asked carefully during breakfast.
"I don't know. I am just my brother's little follower now. Taking care of my brother is the most important thing." Rikka replied nonchalantly.
"Counting the days, you have lived in this ancient city for a long time. From today on, I will not interfere in any of your affairs. I hope you can make a breakthrough in combat." Boom put down his knife and fork with a serious look on his face.
Earthly said.
"Really? Is it okay for them to go outside the city?" Or sneak into the Imperial Academy secretly, will my brother agree? Rikka suddenly became interested and asked expectantly.
"Uh... As long as you can promise not to get into trouble, I don't care where you go. But remember, don't lose your life casually." Boom gave a firm answer.
However, Boom did not know that his decision would directly affect Rikka's personality throughout his life. One night not long ago, after watching a tragic human tragedy, he gradually awakened to his greatest ability.
This is like a seed that has been dried for thousands of years, accidentally fell into the soil, and quietly took root and sprouted after the spring rain of the next year. But the owner who expected it to bear fruit finally discovered that it was a monster that would bring disaster to the country and the people.
I wanted to kill him, but it was too late.
After breakfast, Rikka put on her hood with some excitement and ran quickly outside the city. Boom, who was always standing by the window, stared into the distance with some worry.
The elemental summons lit up in the attic. Boom has never been a genius, and he gave up the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy. Therefore, this path of magic is extremely difficult, but fortunately, hope is not extinguished and the struggle continues.
Three years, this is the bottom line he has drawn for himself. If he can successfully advance in three years, then there will be unlimited possibilities in the future. Otherwise, he will not be more nostalgic, and will just be an ordinary person and play a game.
Do business in a shop.
At this moment, Rikka was standing outside the gate of Ogu City. This was her second time coming to Miracle Plains. She remembered that the last time she met her brother was not long ago, and the smell of roasted beef intestines was still fresh in her memory.
Tightening the small bag on her back, Rikka slowly walked towards the depths of the Miracle Plain. The mercenary groups that occasionally passed by along the way were in a hurry, and countless carriages were filled with goods.
Just when she felt a little bored, a small black dot in the distance caught her attention. However, it was her first time to go out alone, but she didn't know that that thing was the life-seeking ghost that the Ogu people were afraid of.
Rikka's footsteps gradually changed from bouncing to running at a high speed. The surroundings also gradually changed from the noise of the main road to the deserted silence.
The Aogu City behind him had long been reduced to a blur. Rikka was now standing on the back slope of a small hill, staring at the little thing out of breath.
This thing is called a stone snake. Although there are not many in number, as long as one is bitten, anyone whose strength is lower than that of a junior professional will be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, his character is naturally as timid as a mouse. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke, it is rare to hear news of death due to this. But for someone like Rikka, who is a stubborn stalker, it is another matter.
Therefore, this stone snake that was forced into a desperate situation, after confirming that the opponent would not give up, put on a desperate posture. The fine fangs reflected the sunlight, and the gray-black snake scales contracted and fluttered. p>
Crunch! The stone snake suddenly burst out without warning, and its small mouth instantly bit Rikka's arm. However, time stopped here, and the two parties remained motionless as if they were petrified.
"Oh! Why did you bite me? Did you smell the food in the bag? Come on, let me eat it!" Rikka held the opponent in her hands like a rope, completely ignoring his ferocious attacks.
"Okay, okay, I won't eat anything for you. Go home quickly." The stone snake, which had been kneaded by Rikka for nearly half an hour, crawled away in a dejected manner.
Rikka also opened the cloth bag, took out the food prepared in advance, and sat on the Miracle Plain like a picnic. But she did not notice that a huge shadow came quietly.
Ouch! A brown bear that had just woken up from hibernation was standing, its eyes exuding bloodthirsty light, staring at Rikka. Looking at its posture, it seemed as if it was going to eat the opponent alive.
But when Rikka saw this, she didn't show the slightest panic. Her first reaction was not to run away, but to check again and again to see if there was anyone else around.
Although the brown bear is not as intelligent as humans, it can still understand the meaning of contempt and provocation. He roared again, his huge body seemed extremely flexible, and he rushed to Rikka in the blink of an eye.
The sharp claws like steel cones were raised high and fell again. However, time seemed to stand still again, the brown bear still maintained its attack appearance, and the Rikka in front of him looked like a stone sculpture.
"Except for my brother, no one can touch my body!" Rikka's eyes changed from their usual cuteness and innocence to extremely cold and silent.
Her hands slowly turned into short blades, and the skin on her body took on a tan shape. She lifted the knife and dropped it, and a heavy bear head rolled away.
"Is this what brother calls cultivation? It seems too simple. But since brother likes it, then I will kill him to death!" Rikka thought as she got into the woods.
Not long after, the roars of beasts sounded one after another, frightening the sleeping owl and frightening the clever and cunning plains fox.
The sun finally kissed the horizon, and the golden-red light was divided into countless bright spots by the leaves. A dozen beast corpses were stacked on top of each other, and Rikka tilted her head, thinking about what to do next.
"Oh shit! It's time to go back and cook, otherwise my brother will be worried!" Rikka, who was still stunned at first, looked at the sky, then turned around and ran towards Ogu City.
The fact is indeed the case. Standing at the exit of the black market, Boom has a donkey face, like a resentful woman who is owed money and refuses to pay it back.
Although he allows Rikka to move freely, this does not mean that he is laissez-faire. How can he not worry about a little girl who has a little trouble with her brain?
"You still know how to come back? Come home with me!" Seeing that the other party was intact, Boom turned around and turned back. Rikka, who had a dusty face, followed him with a smile, without any of the previous bloodthirsty cruelty.
