The knot in Boom's heart was completely resolved by the black wood staff. Rikka, who was still a little worried at first, smiled happily when she saw that he was back to normal again.
However, in recent days, she has not gone hunting in the Miracle Plains. This is not because of laziness, but because the herd of beasts is pitifully small. With the mentality of fattening up and then killing, Rikka once again transformed into a little cook, spending all day with Boom.
In the small courtyard.
However, that night, the two people who were eating suddenly stopped using their chopsticks and turned their heads towards the wall. Boom's expression instantly turned cold, and Rikka quietly tightened her grip on the steel knife.
In this area of the black market, most houses are separated by walls and courtyards are connected with courtyards. In addition, the surroundings are very quiet, so any slightest noise will attract the attention of others.
Boom had already conducted a thorough investigation before moving in. On his left lived a certain down-and-out nobleman from the royal city, who spent his whole day doing nothing but drinking.
The one on the right is an elderly couple. Both of them were members of a certain mercenary group when they were young. After retirement, they chose to spend their remaining years in the black market.
However, killings that shouldn't have happened fell from the sky. Tonight is destined to be the memorial day of the two elders. As for the reason, it no longer seems important.
"You two, you will live here from today on, and all your daily necessities will be provided. Remember, you have only one mission, to protect the young master from growing up smoothly." A deep voice sounded from inside the black robe. If there is someone next to you,
Those who are familiar with him will definitely find that this is clearly the whip holder, the former Prime Minister Manuel.
"If a swordsman and a magister can't protect such a little baby, then just wait for the wrath of King Ogu." After saying this, Manuel turned and left with the other two men.
.
As for the original owner of this place, he had been turned into smoke by rotten corpses, and he did not leave a single last word before his death.
But the sleeping baby is still unknown at this moment. It seems that everything in the outside world has nothing to do with him, and those blood stains are just patterns to show his status.
The black market was still operating normally, and even the king who controlled the black market, the wandering wind mage Tata, was not aware of it. The two of them bowed and saluted until there was no one left in front of them.
After a while, a dim candlelight quietly lit up, and the baby was awakened by the light, crying for milk. However, what was put into his mouth was a magic pill.
This baby is the youngest son adopted by the blessed knight Anthony to King Ogu. It can also be regarded as filling the gap when the third prince Jacob was killed.
The current structure of the royal family is very delicate. Queen Isabella is a pure native of the Principality of Cisse, and the two remaining princes are the blood of the queen.
Originally, there was a third prince of commoner origin balancing the power, but now everything seems to be tilted like a mountain, so that the major principalities have become more and more distrustful of King Aogu.
Therefore, the Great Magister Yuri, who was as close as a brother to King Augu, privately discussed with the Divine Blessing Knight Anthony to adopt his newly born baby boy to King Augu.
As the eldest brother among the three, Divine Knight Anthony only thought for a moment, then waved his hand and agreed to the matter.
As for his wife, she just smiled lightly, because she knew that this son would inherit King Ogu's lion flag in the future. As a mother, the child's happiness always comes first. As for whether to recognize herself or not, that is
What happens next.
Now that the matter has been decided, the next question is how to raise this baby boy. But King Ogu is afraid, really afraid, afraid of experiencing the tragedy of the third prince Jacob again.
Therefore, at the suggestion of his two brothers, King Augu decided to train the baby privately, hoping to become a magician or a knight when he reaches adulthood.
As for the baby's mentor, they are the two people who are accompanying him at the moment. The swordsman is a personal guard who is loyal to King Augu. Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he is familiar with the way of fighting spirit cultivation.
And that magister is the brother-in-law of Anthony, the Blessed Knight. He is smooth and sophisticated. Although he is very unconventional on weekdays, he never loses his temper at critical moments.
Under the night, Prime Minister Manuel was walking in the black market. His last mission today was to meet the wandering mage Tata.
As a native of Ogu, he naturally knew that the king of the black market, and even all the information about the other party, had already been compiled into a book.
Dong-dong, a clear knock on the door sounded, and before a slave could even speak out a word to scold him, he slumped to the ground. Senhan's giant sword was pressed against his neck, and a shallow blood mark appeared out of thin air.
Tata came out angrily when he heard the sound, but when he saw the person coming, he was dumbfounded. The former Prime Minister Manuel didn't know anyone, and even if he didn't know him, neither could the two masters beside him.
underestimate.
Five minutes later, Manuel's figure walked towards the outside of the black market, while Tata kept bowing, with countless cold sweat dripping on the bluestone.
The other party only said one sentence, "Don't let your people get close to that small courtyard, or they will die!"
However, he knew that the other party not only had the capital to say this, but also had the strength. Not to mention that he was just a high-level magician, even the great magister could not defeat the imperial cavalry.
Tata was a smart man, and he immediately ordered his men to stay away from the yard. He even sent people to monitor it 24 hours a day, completely like a volunteer.
However, Boom and Rikka had just torn off their ears from the wall at this time. The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then quietly returned to the attic.
"Brother, why did the Prime Minister send a baby to the black market? It couldn't be his illegitimate child, right?" Rikka closed the curtains and sat down next to Boom.
"I didn't know, but from today onwards, that small courtyard is a forbidden area. Don't make trouble for yourself." Boom was also a little confused, but then he became worried about Rikka, a curious baby.
"Don't worry, I'll just walk around in the future, but I really obeyed those nobles. If you don't go to nice places, why come to the black market to cause trouble." Rikka said, holding Boom in one hand and holding the stuffed bear in the other.<
/p>
At the same time, Manuel finally returned to the palace. He hurried to the outside of a certain stone tower, and after receiving permission, he slowly walked in.
Pressure! Boundless pressure! Even Manuel rarely faces three strong men at the same time.
"Has my child arrived safely? Is there any problem?" King Fernando of Ogu asked first.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything has been taken care of and there is no trouble as expected." Manuel bowed and saluted and replied with a smile.
"Is that doll a knight's seedling or a magic genius?" Anthony, the divine knight, curled his lips, and the blade of light was deeply inserted into the ground.
"Reporting to Lord Anthony, although this son has a bright future, the final path he takes can only follow the will of the gods." Manuel was still smiling, but the fine sweat on his temples gathered in a stream of water. "How do you plan to deal with that Tata?" Grand Mage Yuri, the president of the Secret Magic Guild, spoke slowly.
"Reporting to Master Yuri, I have sent people to secretly monitor this wandering mage. If he dares to make the slightest move, he will die without a burial place." Manuel's smile became stiffer, and the man who walked from the stone steps
The oppressive feeling coming from the upload made him gradually lose his disguise.
"This son's name is Midas, and he will inherit the lion flag of Ogu City a hundred years from now." King Ogu slowly stood up and walked out of the stone tower accompanied by his two brothers.
