One afternoon a few days later, Boom and Rikka walked out of the courtyard again. The former was holding a bamboo basket, while the latter was holding a bag of snacks.
In these days, Boom has become more and more proficient in the movement of the healing circle. Under the influence of ventriloquism, it is even comparable to ordinary healing potions.
And during this period, Boom also learned another secret about Rikka, a fatal flaw about her tan skin.
With Rikka's current strength, she can only maintain that tan skin for half an hour. As soon as the time is up, it will return to its normal state.
"So you can only fight for half an hour. Please be more careful in the future and don't provoke those strong men." Boom said with some worry.
"Half an hour isn't enough. I never fight for more than five minutes. Besides, at worst, I can just run away. I'm not a fool."
"Besides, this kind of thing is only now. As my strength increases, the duration of the skin should also be extended."
"Brother, if you have time, you should practice more. I can kill you a thousand times in half an hour! Your distinguished mid-level magician!"
When Rikka heard this, she was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. She turned around and stared at Boom, chattering non-stop.
Boom sighed. He didn't care about Rikka's strength, because what he cared about most was his safety and being healthy and happy every day.
"Yes, yes, my sister is the most powerful, but you still have to be careful in the future, you know." Boom warned again while putting the ingredients into the bamboo basket.
"I know, I know, hurry up and buy beef, otherwise the good part will be taken away by others." Rikka pulled Boom towards another stall.
More than two hours later, after the two of them stuffed everything into the dimensional space, they planned to walk around and eat something casually.
This is the westernmost corner of High Court. Although the environment is a bit messy, it has the largest number of food stalls. And according to Rikka, the food is far better than those expensive shops.
"Huh? I didn't expect someone in Highgarden would make bacon soup. Rikka has finally grown up and can take care of her brother." Boom smiled, and then quickly drank the meat soup.
"Hee hee, you are awesome, please praise me more." Rikka happily slapped the table, looking like a good kid who has done good things.
The fat boss behind him sighed. The meat soup he served here was supposed to be sweet. But this female diner suddenly found him yesterday, and after paying a few gold coins, she made a reservation for today's bowl of bacon soup. p>
But no one would have trouble with gold coins. Since the other party's request is just to change the taste, then it must be the little girl chasing the other party.
Thinking of this, the fat boss had an "aunt's smile" on his face. Sometimes he looked at Boom who was swallowing the meat soup, and sometimes he nodded to Rikka.
However, Boom shook his head slightly. He was a Roccoli eater, so how could he not be able to sing about the spices that only Riccoli would add to the meat soup?
To put it bluntly, even if these are all coincidences, given the affordability of such a small stall, they will never add expensive exotic spices.
But Boom did not expose Rikka's lie, because it was the other party's good intention, and it was also to his own liking. Under innocuous circumstances, Boom would usually choose to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.
More than half an hour later, Boom and Rikka got up and left. The fat boss looked at the two meaningfully, as if he remembered what he used to be.
"This should be the slum area of Highgarden. I really miss it." Boom stood across the street and said with some regret.
"Let's go and have a look. There's nothing to do anyway, so why not revisit the old place." Rikka said with a smile. Although the two of them are no longer poor, this place is the environment that Boom is most familiar with.
Then the two of them walked into the slums, the air was no longer fresh, the noise gradually faded away, and even the sunset in the sky seemed to be receding.
The familiar dirty streets, the familiar bugs and rats, the familiar dull pupils, the familiar breath of freedom. The two walked forward slowly, and finally got into a dark alley.
The green moss on the wall is like an old friend we haven't seen for a long time, which is constantly shaking in the wind, exuding a fishy stench. There are wild cats crawling on the filthy trash cans, but they appear to be listless.
Boom slowly sat on the ground, completely ignoring the dirty environment around him. Rikka did not question this, but directly held Boom's arm.
The two of them did not communicate or make any sound. They just looked at the street quietly, looking at everything they were once familiar with.
Although the children are in ragged clothes, there is a smile on every little face. Although the old people are sallow and thin, they can still appreciate the sunset.
As for those who were in their prime, they either gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about today's harvest. Or they were being scolded by their wives and then got into the wooden house obediently.
The rows of wooden houses are very similar to those in Augu City. They are as narrow as the toilets of nobles, and they are too thin to cover any sound.
Arguments, accusations, cries, roars, countless voices blended together, but were eventually dispersed by the noise in the High Court.
Boom slowly closed his eyes, trying to recall his past life, and trying to imagine his current situation if he had not met Rikka.
However, just when he was about to fall into darkness, a familiar smell suddenly poured into his nose. The faint fragrance kept touching the dull hair on his cheeks.
Boom hugged Rikka and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he sighed. He has never been a person who is good at expressing emotions, and can only express his feelings in this way.
And Rikka's laughter instantly echoed in the dark alley. She looked up at Boom, looking at her brother who was usually so calm and gloomy.
"Brother, it is my greatest happiness to meet you." Rikka said, got up and walked out.
Boom grinned when he heard this, wondering which novel this was from. Although it was a bit gross, it best expressed the two people's thoughts at the moment.
Turning around and walking out of the slums, Boom stroked his black robe and smiled again. At this time, Rikka was looking around, and her right hand was quietly retracted into the Viking dress.
Perhaps because it was almost night, the two of them walked very slowly. The setting sun was gradually replaced by moonlight, and more and more children followed behind them.
Crack! Crack! Candies slowly fell from Rikka’s sleeves. The children reached out to pick them up while looking at Boom and Rikka.
Although Boom does not have the keen hearing of Dou Qi users, he is not a fool, and he can naturally hear the whispers behind him.
"If you do these stupid things again, I'll make you sleep standing up tonight." Boom stroked Rikka's dull hair and said helplessly.
"Hmph! People are not careful. Besides, eating too much sugar will make you fat." Rikka replied nonchalantly, with no trace of regret on her face.
But just as the two were about to walk out of the slum, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of them. Boom's eyes instantly turned cold, and Rikka also put her hand on the scabbard.
