Chapter 365 Along the Inland River

 Grand Duke Grylls informed the Hornworm Bay garrison that Natasha was pregnant. In his eyes, although this person had a naughty nature, he was still a reliable person.

And this powerful man, who was only one step away from the Divine Blessing Knight, left the Horned Insect Bay directly. Natasha was his good friend, so naturally she did not hesitate to help.

At this time, he and his daughter were sitting in the carriage. The latter tried hard to stick his head out of the carriage, while he was playing with two dragon crystals. This was something given to him by the Grand Duke Grylls, and he was asked to protect Na.

Tasha's reward.

At the same time, Boom stopped at Hornworm Bay under Rikka's constant requests. Fortunately, there were so many tents here that no one paid attention to the priceless magical house just now.

"We'd better go back to the Iron Birch Forest. If we don't keep it safe here, Highgarden's pursuers will appear." Boom looked at the bustling crowd outside the window and said very uneasily.

Although this kind of character is very unappetizing most of the time, it is the reason why Boom and Rikka can survive to this day. Therefore, Boom always feels that Hornworm Bay is too chaotic and there are too many dangers hidden in it.

"The pursuers from Highgarden crawled over here. Brother, don't worry. If we encounter danger, we'll just run away."

"Also, this is just the pier and trading center of Hornworm Bay. The inland river extending to the Principality of Cisse is the favorite place for ordinary people."

"Brother also said that we are on the run now. How can we give up an opportunity like this to purchase daily necessities?"

Rikka kept talking like beans from a bamboo tube. These words were something she had thought of long ago to deal with Boom's rejection. Boom sighed after hearing this and no longer struggled with this issue.

The next morning, after packing up the wonderful house, the two slowly walked towards the bank of the inland river. As time passed by, the noise in the air reappeared.

I saw countless leather tents spreading towards the horizon, and every household set up stalls at the entrance of the leather tents, selling various items.

From low-grade magic crystals to goblin clocks, from fresh vegetables to robes and leather boots, from seasonings to glass containers, from books to a wide range of snacks.

The area along the inland river is like a new gathering place, and the people who choose this place are the first residents. Children are running on the streets, and adults are busy hawking goods.

"Rikka, what's going on? Which main city do they belong to? Pama City or Crystal Castle?" Boom asked with a frown. In his opinion, the Principality of Xisai definitely knows the situation here, but why?

Will acquiesce to this existence.

The population is equal to the basic tax amount, so each principality strives to double its population over thousands of years, which is also the main reason for the decline of nomadic tribes.

"This is what it looks like along the inland river. These people are businessmen or poor people who chose to leave the four main cities, as well as immigrants from other principalities."

"I heard that although this place belongs to Jiao Chong Bay, no one has managed it in more than ten years. It just became a new residence."

"And the most important thing is that there is no tax here, so the things sold here are much cheaper than in the four major cities."

"Although there are no very high-quality goods, the types are very diverse. Some foreign merchants will also choose to come here to sell off-quality goods."

Rikka was talking about what she heard in Hornworm Bay. Rikka liked visiting this kind of place the most, so she begged Boom to stay one more day.

But what she didn't expect was that the situation here was far more exaggerated than she imagined. From Rikka's point of view, except for the lack of city walls along the Black River, it was like a new main city.

Boom also nodded after hearing this. He suddenly felt that Grand Duke Cisse was very powerful, at least in terms of running the principality, he was not inferior to King Fernando of August.

Boom was originally a poor man at the bottom of the class, so from the bottom of his heart he disliked the bossy nobles. He felt very free here, and the endless leather tents were like wooden houses.

With a smile on his face, Boom nodded to Rikka, and the two of them started wandering around. Today's main purchases were daily necessities, which had already been recorded on the kraft paper in Rikka's hand.

Although the two chose to escape from Highgarden, they could not just eat their hair and drink blood like wild beasts. Life would go on, and in addition to magic crystals and meat soup, life also included all the trivial matters.

"Miss, you are really discerning. These candles are made by my family and they will burn for a long time."

"These are the steel needles we got back from Hornworm Bay. A person as ingenious as Miss should not miss them."

"Thick pan, you can come back to me in less than ten years and I will compensate you tenfold."

"The Black Rain Moon is coming soon. Do you want to buy two deer skins? They will make clothes very warm."

The cries of sales continued to ring in his ears, and Rikka seemed to have turned into another person, lingering in front of each stall. As for Boom, his face was full of tears, he was now completely reduced to a tool.

This was something the two of them had discussed in advance. The identity of the professional must not be discovered along the inland river, and the storage bag and dimensional space must not be shown to anyone.

So Boom is now like a wooden frame covered with decorations, carrying vegetables and fresh meat in each hand, three strings of sausages hanging around his neck, his waist full of odds and ends, and bread and bacon on his back.

Rikka turned around and smiled, then pulled Boom to a deserted place. The fluorescent light flashed slightly, and everything was taken into the dimensional space by her.

"Let's go have something to eat first. Do you have anything else to buy this afternoon?" Boom said weakly, sitting on the ground.

He is really tired now. If he had a choice, I believe Boom would practice in the Wonderful House. As for physical strength, he is always far behind Rikka.

"It should be almost there, but we still need to buy some seasonings. Brother always sprinkles a lot of cinnamon powder into the meat soup, which consumes it very quickly."

As soon as Rikka said these words, Boom felt that she was no longer the lovely sister she used to be. In her heart, meat soup without cinnamon powder was soulless. Not only was the taste much worse, but the feeling had also changed.

"The trick succeeded." After the two rested for a while, they got into the crowd again. Time passed by, and finally Rikka sat on the wooden chair and chewed snacks contentedly, while Boom sat slumped like a dead dog.

On the ground.

"Brother, are you okay? Your face is very pale." Rikka asked with a playful smile.

"I'm tired, but I like the feeling here very much. It's a long-lost sense of freedom."

"To be honest, if we weren't on the run now, I would have chosen to settle here. Because there are neither those annoying nobles nor the principality's cavalry with eyes on their heads."

Boom smiled and shook his head, and was immediately pulled up by Rikka. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, and the two sat on wooden chairs, eating and chatting.

There was always a lot of noise along the inland river. Some residents were raising smoke from their cooking stoves, while others were still selling their goods. Rikka leaned against Boom, while Boom stared blankly at the blue sky.
