Time passed day by day, and the giant bud wrapping the six flowers was silent. If it weren't for the magic pattern flashing on its surface, Boom would probably have been unable to sit still.
Today is the eighth day of Rikka's evolution. Boom woke up early and cooked dried meat as usual. Now he seems to have returned to the past, the days when he lived alone in Ogu City.
What Rikka said was absolutely correct, or she was a rare tactful one. Because with Boom's current level as an intermediate magician, it would not be able to help her evolution.
After Boom figured it out a few days ago, she actually stood in front of the giant flower bud and couldn't laugh or cry. She never thought that her sister, who was usually silly, would one day be considerate of others.
Therefore, Boom simply stopped sending magic power to the opponent. Instead of wasting magic power here, it is better to stay in the best condition to prevent sudden events.
After breakfast, Boom walked around the giant flower bud twice as a habit. After confirming that everything was normal, he turned around and left the Wonder House.
Boom didn't know how long it would take for Rikka to evolve, so the food issue became a top priority. Although there was still a lot of dried meat, he would eventually finish it.
Fortunately, there is a small stream next to the Wonderful House. Although the number of fish and shrimps is not large, perhaps because of the approaching Black Rain Moon, all of them are fat and delicious.
The squirrels and grass snakes that planned to overwinter fell into the traps that Boom had already set. They were hanging on the branches, accepting the baptism of sunshine and cold wind.
Every half hour, Boom would return to the Wonder House to check on Rikka. As for the rest of the time, he enjoyed his private time.
He was wearing the leather robe that Liuhua bought earlier, and was not afraid of the cold weather at all. The bonfire made a little noise from time to time, and the green smoke drifted away in the dense iron birch forest.
Life is always rich and colorful, no matter whether the nobles spend a lot of money or the poor are numerous. As long as you have a pair of bright eyes, you can live a happier life.
It's like a piece of bread, it tastes the same as the sauce it is dipped in. The only difference is whether you actively choose this taste, or you have no choice but to accept it.
Boom panted and put the firewood at his feet, then slumped down on the ground randomly. The iron birch forest is good everywhere, but the iron birch tree itself is too hard.
Therefore, even if the burning time is not the same as that of charcoal, Boom will rarely chop it. He is not a Rikka, so naturally he is extremely disgusted with physical work.
"I didn't expect that getting these wooden piles back would take so much energy. If Rikka doesn't complete the purification, I will probably die of exhaustion."
Boom shook his head and gently opened the curtain on the door of the Wonderful House. The giant flower bud was still floating in the air, and nothing had changed except that the magic patterns on the surface were becoming more and more complex.
Boom took out the black wood staff and shot a fireball the size of a fingernail onto the iron birch stake. A moment later, he slowly started playing with the skewers.
The squirrels and grass snakes that had been cleaned up long ago were skewered on iron sticks. Although the wild mushrooms looked numb on the outside, their flavor was very rich.
As for the dozen or so fat fish, Boom hung them above the bonfire. He planned to make these fish into smoked products so that they could be preserved to the maximum extent.
Boom has always been a cautious person, so in his opinion, no matter how long it takes for Rikka to evolve, he must be prepared in advance.
So not only did those squirrels become Boom's food, but the nuts accumulated in the tree holes were also collected by Boom into the storage bag.
I believe that at this speed, the area around the Wonder House will become a dead place within half a month. However, Boom is very happy now, because he collected a full month's worth of food without spending a single copper coin.
The snake meat was skewered on iron skewers, and after being smoky by the campfire, the alluring aroma slowly emitted. The dried meat quickly softened in the boiling water, and a sumptuous dinner was completed in a moment. "This bottle is the last salt in the Wonderful House. I'd better use it sparingly. Otherwise, even if I wait until Rikka wakes up, my survival will be a problem."
"I don't know how she is doing now. She should be fighting an unknown enemy just like I did in the Demon Realm before."
"You stinky girl is really careless and doesn't know how to give me a hint. Even if you can't make the giant bud bloom, just shake it."
Boom was thinking wildly as he bit into the snake meat. This was not the first time he had eaten snake meat, because in the past in Aogu City, Boom had even eaten rats, and the ones that died for two or three days. When it comes to food, Boom is far less particular than Rikka. In his eyes, there are only two kinds of food. One is that you will not die if you eat it, and the other is that you must not eat it.
"These squirrel meat are really delicious. It's a pity that Rikka can't eat them, otherwise he would definitely praise my brother."
"How about leaving one for her? Maybe Rikka will be able to complete her evolution tonight."
"Forget it, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is better to eat less of such things of unknown origin."
Boom smiled, and then bit off the head of the last roasted squirrel. The hot fat filled his mouth, without any greasy meat, and it had a unique flavor.
At midnight, Boom waved his hand and launched an attack circle, and the bonfire was instantly extinguished by a few water bombs. As for the smoked fish, they had already been put into the storage bag.
Returning to the Wonderful House, Boom leaned against the iron stove, drinking hot tea while looking at the giant flower buds in the sky. The weak firelight mixed with the tea smell, and the iron birch forest outside the Wonderful House was completely plunged into darkness.
Although Boom has not done any training these days, he has been able to return to normal life and rest. He rises when the sun rises and sleeps when the moon rises. He is always in the best condition.
Moreover, Boom did not gain nothing in these days. One day, he had a sudden idea and actually tried to talk to himself.
When one sound comes out of the mouth, another sound comes out, but the second sound comes out of the abdomen.
Although Boom is not a magic genius and his talent is mediocre, his thinking is different from ordinary people and he can always come up with ways to make others stunned.
The ability to cast ventriloquism does not matter whether you are a great mage or not, because it can be understood by ordinary people in an instant, it will also stump many powerful peak experts.
And during the days when Rikka was evolving, Boom was so bored that he chatted with himself all day long. Therefore, his understanding of ventriloquism was becoming more and more perfect at an astonishing speed.
Now that he had found a way to enhance his strength in a short period of time, Boom was naturally extremely excited. Magicians are such weird existences. Some people rely on hard work, some rely on magic weapons, and some people can always come up with bad ideas. The weak fire continued to emit orange light, and Boom held two books and kept flipping through them. Two small voices echoed in the Wonder House, which looked very strange.
An hour later, Boom closed the book at the same time, and then added a few pieces of firewood to the iron stove. When the rest time came, Boom slowly got into the bearskin blanket.
Prepare for danger and do what you should do. Boom quickly fell asleep and no longer thought about unnecessary trivial matters.
