After five days of stopping and going, sleeping day and night, Boom and Liuhua finally left the Nightingale Grassland and officially entered the sphere of influence of Pama City.
However, judging from the current situation, the two of them will naturally not choose to enter another main city of the Principality of Xisai. They continue to walk eastward, and a lake gradually appears on the horizon.
Back in time five nights ago, a high-level magician walked into the right tower of the Twin Stars. He came to the top with some fear and told what happened.
"Lord Kamerin, two hours ago, the team that went to search the Dark Elf's residence was annihilated."
"The murderer is a brother and sister who are rivals. One of them is a fire magician. Judging from the remaining traces, this person should be a high-level one."
"The identity of the two has not been recorded in the High Court. It is initially determined that they are outsiders, and the possibility of spies or partners of the other party cannot be ruled out."
"When we arrived at the scene, all traces had been destroyed and no clues could be found."
"The two of them should have escaped from High Court by now. I'm sorry for my incompetence as to where they are."
The high-level magician always lowered his head, and cold sweat soaked his robe at some point. He tried hard to restrain his trembling legs and tried not to show his ugly appearance.
The room seemed very quiet. Kamerin stood by the window sill and looked at the sky quietly. At this time, the morning light had already appeared, and there was a lot of noise in the high court.
"Split the troops into two groups. First, we must thoroughly search the city of Gaoting. Anyone who is suspicious must not be let go. But this must be done more covertly. If necessary, we can kill them directly."
"Second, ask Commander Ford to send Dou Qi professionals to follow, and dispatch four members of the secret house to search the four main cities in Xisse at the same time."
"This matter is big or small. Remember not to make any mistakes. If you have any questions, just come to me directly. Also, there is no need to keep these two alive. Just kill them after they are confirmed to be correct."
Kamerin said softly, and threw a palm-sized token to the opponent. Thirteen two-headed dragons were engraved on it, which symbolized the identity of Grand Duke Grylls.
The words were divided into two parts. When the Twin Towers began to search for Boom and Rikka, the two finally arrived at their destination on the seventh day.
Yinghuo Lake is the largest lake in the ancient continent. Star scholars have calculated that its total area is nearly one thousand square kilometers.
It is named because of the countless fireflies that gather all year round. Under the dual effects of groundwater and rainwater at the bottom of the lake, there are even swarms of fish and shrimp inside.
It is located directly north of Pama City, bordering the Nightingale Grassland to the west, and the iron birch dense forest and cold sand wasteland to the east. Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is also full of dangers.
Therefore, although Yinghuo Lake is famous, it is still a no-man's land. Except for some mercenaries and caravans, very few people go here.
Although Boom and Rikka were amazed, they didn't stop much. They continued walking eastward and finally entered the iron birch forest in the evening.
Today's human residences have long been dominated by bricks and stones. In addition, although iron birch can be regarded as a fire starter, it is very hard and extremely difficult to cut down.
This is also the biggest reason why Boom chose this place. He and Rikka now need to stay as far away from the crowd as possible and make the Cisse cavalry as invisible as possible.
In the end, the two placed the wonderful house beside a stream, with the cold sand wasteland as its back and the looming Hornworm Bay to the east.
Skillfully raising the bonfire, Rikka took out the food from the dimensional space with a smile, while Boom always held the black wooden staff and never put it into the storage bag again.
"Brother, are you scared? It's all sister Christine's fault. If only I had known we could go to the Whispering Forest too." Rikka looked at Boom and asked helplessly.
"It's a lie to say I'm not afraid. I don't want to die, and I don't know what's going on in Highgarden now." Boom replied softly while eating the meat soup.
"Don't worry. If someone really chases us, we'll run away again. Why did my brother choose to settle here? People think Yinghuo Lake is better."
Rikka fell in love with the scenery of Firefly Lake from the first time she saw it. If she had to choose, she would definitely place a wonder house by the lake.
However, Boom sighed after hearing this, thinking that we are fleeing, not outing. Although Firefly Lake is nice, people will pass by there from time to time.
The environment in the cold sand wasteland at the northern end is too harsh. If you really want to live there, they will probably be torn to pieces by wild beasts before the Xisai cavalry can find them.
Therefore, after some choices, Boom finally chose the iron birch forest. The lush trees here can not only block the smoke and sound to the greatest extent, but also block the enemy's sight.
After dinner, Boom did not practice. Instead, he used the most primitive method to set up several traps around the Wonder House. Although these traps could not cause harm to the professionals, they could well prevent the two of them from being attacked by wild beasts.<

Sitting back by the campfire again, Boom took out a book from his storage bag. Since he can't practice magic, it's a good time to strengthen his theoretical knowledge of magic.
However, Rikka on the side looked very bored, or in other words, she was still interested. She looked in a certain direction from time to time, which seemed like she wanted to explore.
"What are you looking at? Isn't it the Cisse cavalry coming again?" Boom raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Ah? No, but I was planning to take a look around. After all, my intuition is much more sensitive than my brother's." Rikka's eyes rolled around, and she replied without blushing or heartbeat.
"Oh, then you go and have a look, but you have to wear a robe. It should be very cold at Firefly Lake at night." Boom threw a black robe to the other party and then ignored it.
Rikka was overjoyed when she heard this. After she untied the two meteorite swords from their sheaths, they melted into the night like a ghost. More than an hour later, she stood by the Firefly Lake, her eyes filled with obsession.
The reflection of the bright moon was swaying on the lake, and the starlight was broken into countless bright spots. Countless fireflies floated in the air, merging into a huge fluorescent group.
Bubbles appeared on the lake from time to time, and the fish slowly twisted their bodies, as if they were enjoying the tranquility of the night. Rikka took out the steel knife from the dimensional space and held it tightly to her chest.
A moment later, a blush appeared on Rikka's face for no reason, and she remembered what Christine had whispered to her before she left.
"Rikka, although love takes time to prove its value, it will also fade away in the years."
"In many cases, rejection is also a response, and even if you are rejected, it does not mean there will be no more opportunities."
"If you are very shy, at least make sure that you are the only woman around the other person."
With these words echoing in Rikka's mind, Boom's appearance became clearer and clearer. She wanted to stay by Boom's side for the rest of her life, preferably as a lover.
"Hmph! Stinky brother, you big bad guy, I feed the dogs every day's food!" Liuhua pouted her little mouth and said in dissatisfaction.
"Let's wait until my brother becomes the Great Mage. I don't know if he will like her at that time." Rikka sighed with some disappointment, then turned around and ran towards the Iron Birch Forest.
