On the last day of the Withering Month, Boom completely ended his training, and at the same time, the magic power in his body reached saturation again. Although he had not yet mastered the new spell, his power was doubled.
In the past two days, Liuhua went crazy on the Nightingale Grassland during the day to rob and kill the mercenary group. Although the harvest was not much, it was better than nothing.
And every night when night falls, Boom will sit next to her, with no intention of practicing. Rikka is very happy these days, because she will hold Boom's hand and fall asleep every night.
But she also noticed the sadness in Boom's eyes, which was something that never appeared even when Lulu passed away. It was darker than despair and more painful than death.
Rikka didn't know what to do and could only repeat over and over again that the dream was just an illusion. She even quoted passages from the novel, but Boom was indifferent to it.
"Brother, we now have four middle-grade magic crystals and one high-grade magic crystal. We don't plan to go out today." Rikka gave Boom a few more slices of bacon and said with a smile.
"That's fine, do you want to go for a walk? I have a lot of free time all day." Boom replied numbly. He would have nightmares every night, dreaming that he would devour Rikka in one mouthful.
"Then let's go find Sister Christine with me. Don't you want to ask about the 'Great Demon Realm'?" Rikka cheered up and asked Boom again.
Immediately, after putting away the tableware, the two of them left the courtyard. After many days, Boom heard the noise in the high court again, and it felt so cordial.
In a slightly cold courtyard with extremely bright flowers, the dark elf Christine huddled in the lounge chair and looked at Boom and Rikka with a smile.
However, behind this indifferent expression, there was a shock that was extremely shocking. Entering the "Great Demon Realm" for the second time, and actually succeeding, this kind of thing may only appear in the mouth of bards.
As time passed slowly, Christine told Boom's situation and confessed his luck. There was no need to hide these things, and it was a small gift that she regarded the two as friends. p>
Boom's doubts are gradually solved, but as for the secrets of the fantasy ocean, Boom can only explore it himself as the person involved.
"Mr. Christine, I have another question. Why did I choose to devour Rikka's flesh and blood and use it to advance to an intermediate magician?"
Boom finally tore open the scar with his own hands, his eyes filled with anger. If this problem cannot be solved, he will definitely be trapped in self-blame forever.
Seeing Boom's expression, Rikka slowly closed her open mouth. But she also had doubts in her heart, wondering why Boom was so persistent.
"Poor people will pick up scraps in order to survive, rats will kill each other in order to survive, and strong people will take action to kill others if they fancy other people's things."
"I hope you have a deep understanding of these principles, the mysterious space system mid-level magician, Little Boom."
"In the end, it doesn't matter what you dream about. What matters is your choice and the belief you insist on."
The voice of the dark elf Christine stopped suddenly. Boom and Rikka bowed and bowed, then exited the courtyard. After returning to the room, he hugged Rikka gently, as if he was holding the most precious gem.
Tears kept pouring out of his eyes, and then fell to the ground along Rikka's long hair. Boom bit his lips hard, trying not to make a sound, until the blood kept dripping.
"Brother, it's been hard. Come on and cry. Rikka is my brother's relative and won't laugh at him." Rikka hugged Boom with her backhand and gently stroked his head.
This is what Boom always does to Rikka, so in Rikka's eyes, this is also the best way to comfort a person. The crying gradually gets louder, and Boom vents the fear accumulated in his heart.
"Rikka, brother doesn't want to lose you, and doesn't want to become an orphan again. It's enough to experience that feeling once, it's really enough..."
"Rikka, can you promise me, brother, that if I go crazy one day and do anything to harm you, you will kill me with your own hands."
Boom was paralyzed in Liuhua's arms, like a giant baby that had not yet awakened. He raised his head, his eyes full of prayer.
"No, no, no! Rikka wants to live with her brother! Even if they die, they must die together!" Rikka shook her little head and replied decisively.
On this day, the two talked about many things, and Boom told all his experiences in the fantasy world without hiding anything.
Rikka listened with great interest, sometimes asking about this, and sometimes raising her own doubts. In the end, a question that Boom had never thought of was placed in front of Boom.
"Brother, if that illusion is your consciousness, then why don't you change a place, a place you like."
"Perhaps Rikka is just fanciful, but if my brother has a weapon, there should be a solution."
The stupid hair on Rikka's head kept shaking. She poked Boom's cheek with her fingertips and whispered. Rikka's idea was very simple. Since those were just dreams, why did Boom, as the master, choose to obey instead of changing?
.
Boom's emotions gradually calmed down. Now that he has vented those negative emotions, life will naturally continue. And he will continue to move towards his goal, becoming a great mage and protecting Rikka.
Dinner was very simple, long-lost dried meat and some hot tea. However, Rikka seemed very happy today because Boom ate a lot, which also meant that he had untied his knot.
"Your Highness, is it hot enough? If not, I'll add some charcoal." Boom squatted beside the iron stove and asked with a smile.
"You wanton thing, call me Queen! Come over as soon as you're done, and feed them white sugar cakes." Rikka waved the black wooden staff and shouted with a smile.
The dim candlelight illuminated the room, and Boom and Rikka were eating snacks and playing around. Because Boom has been depressed recently, Rikka also had a hard time.
Just now we have this so-called "forgiveness" trip, and the specific content is that Boom must completely obey Rikka within this week.
"My queen, I'm thirsty. Go get some milk and put more candies." Rikka pointed at Boom with the black wooden staff, and the latter slowly climbed out of bed.
"This is the polysaccharide milk you asked for, Your Highness Princess." Boom held the cup and sat next to Rikka again.
That night, under Rikka's constant begging, Boom demonstrated the power of an intermediate magician. Although it is still insignificant, it is the only way for every strong person.
"Rikka, it's great to see you every day when I wake up." Boom patted Rikka gently and said with a smile.
"Same goes for Rikka. Rikka likes her brother the most." Hearing this, Rikka threw herself into Boom's arms and kept nudging him with her little head.
The two relied on each other, whether they were in the wooden house or now in the high garden courtyard. Although Boom and Rikka are not biological brothers and sisters, they are the only people who can rely on each other.
"Change the illusion, try it next time you advance, at least have a weapon in your hand." Boom thought, slowly closing his eyes.
