The next morning, Christine knocked on the courtyard door again. Boom and Rikka looked at each other with strange expressions, while she put on a dark purple robe at this time.
"You guys go to wait outside the city first, and buy me a piece of sugar cake by the way." Christine said lightly, waving her hand to signal the three followers to leave.
"As you command, Lady Christine." The three followers are all dark elves, and each of them has reached the level of a two-winged killer.
Boom's expression became even weirder, because this was the first time he had seen the other party act like this, and there was no trace of his usual elegance and easy-going.
A very bad premonition filled his mind. Boom pulled Rikka, who looked excited, and then closed the courtyard door with his own hands.
"What happened? If possible, Rikka and I will help." Boom thought for a while and asked.
"I'm going home, how can you help, cute little Boom." Christine was stunned when she heard this, and then replied with a smile.
"Go home? Isn't this my sister's home? Could it be..." Rikka said carelessly, but she only said half of the words before Boom covered her back with her hand.
Christine sighed, and then reached out to touch Rikka's little head. She didn't like to be separated from him, but she would not force him to leave.
"Xiao Liuhua, my sister has always liked you. From the moment I saw you, I felt an inexplicable feeling of intimacy towards you."
"If it weren't for your special status, I would definitely tie you back to the Whispering Forest."
Christine's eyes are full of tenderness. In her eyes, Rikka is like her sister, as if she has already been connected by blood.
Rikka turned to look at Boom. After receiving a positive reply, she finally understood the meaning of Christine's words. The other party was going home, to the Whispering Forest on the other side of the world.
It was separation again, and another person she knew was about to disappear. Rikka hugged the other person with her backhand and buried her head into Christine's body.
Seeing this situation, Boom didn't know what to do. First Lulu, then Rebecca, and now even Christine is leaving.
Although this kind of thing is nothing to Boom, and it will not even affect his mood. But for Rikka, it is a reality that is difficult to accept.
"Why did you leave so suddenly? Sister Christine also taught me Elvish language, you big liar!" Rikka wailed, clutching her opponent's robe with both hands.
She doesn't want the other party to leave, and she doesn't like the way the other party leaves so suddenly. Because in her heart, Christine has become an indispensable part of her life.
She would meet him every morning, and she would get a lot of snacks every time she went to the other party. The other party taught her how to chew wine, and gave her the tongue skills as a gift. Even Boom's successful advancement was partly due to the other party.
.
"I have completed the task assigned by the queen, and I have made no mistakes in these years, so the queen allows me to return to the Whispering Forest."
Christine patted Rikka gently and held her in her arms like a sister. A faint fragrance filled her nose, and Rikka's mood gradually calmed down.
This is a dark elf perfume that not only smells great, but also has the effect of calming the nerves and calming panic. Christine let out a long breath and then looked up at Boom.
"Boom, you must be very curious about my identity. Why have you never asked?" Christine said softly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
"I'm not interested in knowing. You are who you are. What I value is not your true identity, but your knowledge." Boom grinned and replied very straightforwardly.
This is his true thought, and it is also a way to keep distance from each other. Both of them are magicians, so if the communication is limited to magic, there will never be any extraneous issues.
What's more, he has no interest in exploring the other party's secrets. Years of experience at the bottom told him that the less a person knows, the safer he is.
Therefore, whether it is Christine's true identity, her true strength, or that tyrannical female insect, Boom has only one response to these things, and that is to close his eyes.
"That's it, okay then. Come to the Whispering Forest to find me when you have a chance. My sister will treat you to dinner."
"It's almost time. You two need to hide your identities from now on. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me, especially you strong humans."
"Only when you are strong can you survive better. Goodbye."
After Christine said that, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard. The shadows of trees and spots of light filled the alley, and Rikka waved her hands blankly, hoping that it was all just a joke.
Boom bowed and saluted, and it was also the junior ceremony between master and apprentice. In his heart, Christine was half the mentor, and the other half was the parchment.
After gently closing the courtyard door, Boom sighed, and then planned to comfort Rikka. However, Rikka took out a pack of snacks at some point and was chewing them with relish.
"Aren't you supposed to be sad? Don't tell me that those tears before were all fake." Boom came to the bedside dumbfounded and asked immediately.
"No, it's sad, but it's not like sister Christine is dead. We can see her again in the future."
"Besides, my sister's lover has been waiting for her for decades, so I think we should be happy for her."
"I'm really looking forward to the taste of the secret dried insects. Insects can be turned into food. The dark elves are really great."
Rikka put her little feet into Boom's arms, and then smiled with satisfaction. In her heart, as long as the other person is still alive, it is not a sad thing.
"But I really don't want to let go of Sister Christine, and I don't know if there will be another dark elf in the opposite door." Rikka said again.
Boom grabbed a handful of Rikka's little feet, thinking that just one Christine was enough, and he didn't want his identity to be known to others.
The two gradually returned to normal. Rikka cleaned the room in the afternoon, and Boom rarely got into the kitchen. Christine, on the other hand, was staring blankly at the sky at this time.
The carriage was speeding on the Nightingale Grassland, and the three servants silently guided the direction, but Christine seemed a little lonely.
I saw that she slowly activated a trace of magic power, completely covering her body. The fluorescence kept flashing, and her skin color gradually turned white.
A mixed-blood dark elf, she inherited her mother's magical talent since she was a child, and at the same time, her father lived in the Whispering Forest. If it were not for her identity as a dark magician, she would have died a thousand times.
But even so, most of the tribesmen stayed away from her, and her only lover was monitored like a prisoner. The queen's cold eyes penetrated deep into her bones, and she wanted to escape or be killed by someone.
Countless thoughts were mixed together, and Christine suddenly realized that she preferred to stay in Highgarden and listen to the noise of humans every day.
Boom's somewhat gloomy look came to mind, and Rikka's cute appearance continued to expand. Christine had an urge to turn around and return to the High Garden.
She took a bite of the white sugar cake, which was Rikka's favorite thing to eat on weekdays. Her tears blended with the sugar, and finally entered Christine's mouth.
