The next day, Boom started digging again. Perhaps out of comfort considerations, he actually came up with a bold idea.
"Since we want to find a place to place Rikka, why not simply dig deeper and wider so that we can place the Wonder House directly here."
"The stratum of the frozen continent is very hard, and with the help of ice trees, it is estimated that the stability problem should be easy."
"If this can be done, Rikka will be completely safe from now on. Even if I am killed, she will not be in any danger hiding underground."
"No! We must do it! Rikka has done so much for me. I am not called brother for nothing. My family needs to help each other."
Boom slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time the white light of the healing circle disappeared instantly. After eating some black bread, Boom held the steel cone and jumped into the underground chamber.
Sparks were flying and dust was flying. After Boom destroyed three steel cones, he almost fainted due to force failure. However, he always had a smile on his face and kept measuring the size of the space.
For lunch, Boom had a very simple meal, just a small piece of black bread with some hot water. This was not because he was unable to get some gold coins back, but because he had to arrange Rikka first.
Leaning against the bed, Boom ate in silence while feeling Rikka's faint breath. Although the weather in Changsuo City was very good today, the temperature in this cold month was getting lower and lower. p>
Ice flowers cling to the windows, constantly twisting and refracting the sunlight. Dots of dots spread on the ground, reflecting the faces of Boom and Rikka, but they cannot reach those dark corners.
Countless dust floated in the air, falling on Boom's shoulders, on his torn leather robe, and on the last piece of black bread.
However, Boom turned a blind eye to these things. He stood up tremblingly, and then tightened his grip on the last steel awl.
The clanking sound sounded again, and soil mixed with stones were continuously thrown out from the underground chamber. Ice tree stumps were carefully supported, and iron nails nearly a foot long were fixed.
As for the area close to the ground, it is covered with wooden piles. Although the cold is still there, it is much warmer than outside the room.
Coupled with the dozens of hidden ventilation holes, Boom felt that if he was not a magician, he could still be a craftsman.
Before evening, Boom cleaned up all the waste in the room, and then spent more than two hours before clearing away the ice tree stumps.
He had to drag these things back after a lot of hard work. Since there is still a lot left, he must make the best use of them.
Although firewood is something that can be seen everywhere in the frozen continent, it is also an indispensable consumable in everyone's life.
Whether you are a professional or a noble, whether you are a wealthy businessman or an ordinary poor person, as long as you want to see the morning light of the next day, you cannot lack iron stoves and heating items.
However, these are extremely difficult for Boom who has been exhausted for many days. At this time, his nails still have not grown, let alone his strength, even being blown by the cold wind is painful.
But with his persistence, Boom not only completed the excavation of the underground secret room, but also stacked the freshly chopped firewood.
After doing all this, Boom checked the courtyard door and then dragged his body back into the room. The wooden door was inserted from the inside. After placing the Wonder House in the underground secret room, Boom got in with Rikka in his arms.<
/p>
The cold wind stopped instantly and the cold air disappeared. Boom squatted beside the iron stove and kept trying to pick up the ice trees and firewood.
Once, twice, three times, Boom finally lit the fire after more than 20 minutes, covered in cold sweat. At this time, his face was pale, and he was no longer as majestic as he was during the day.
Boom felt that all the bones in his body were screaming. At this time, he could not even stand up, and even his hands had no feeling. However, Boom suddenly raised his head, and Rikka's figure was reflected in his pupils.
A smile appeared strangely on his face, and Boom immediately put his head on the ground and squirmed toward the other party. Time passed by, but it took Boom half an hour to cover this short distance of a few meters.
The cold ground kept rubbing his cheeks, and Boom seemed to have returned to the past. This feeling was very familiar to him, as familiar as an old friend for many years.
The sweat rolled down quickly, just like those dark dead alleys in Aogu City. Although the sticky feeling from behind was uncomfortable, it made him feel more friendly.
Perhaps because his strength had not yet been restored, Boom actually knocked his head to the ground halfway. Blood instantly oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his teeth seemed to be shaking slightly.
It was salty, a little sticky, and had a very special taste. Boom's throat squirmed, and then he crawled towards Liuhua again. At this time, his forehead was already red and swollen.
Finally, Boom leaned against the tent wall, and tremblingly took out the black wooden staff from his arms. The white light of the healing circle slowly lit up, Boom's pain recovered quickly, and Rikka's skin also showed a trace of rosy.
.
However, today's treatment only lasted a few minutes, and Boom was able to achieve this only after consuming the last trace of his magic power. Boom, who had recovered a little, was eating brown bread and looking at everything in the Wonderful House with satisfaction.
The ice tree firewood is enough for a month, and there is still a lot of food, but the gold coins can only last for another two weeks. This is even when Boom is almost self-abuse every day.
Compared with the three meals a day when Rikka was there, Boom now only eats two meals a day, and most of the time they are black bread or low-quality meat jerky.
But even so, without any income, Boom will soon be penniless. In addition, Rikka also needs magic crystals for auxiliary treatment, so Boom naturally does not have much time to breathe.
"Rikka, how about this secret room? Normally when my brother is out, you will never be discovered."
"I don't know if there is any romance novel store in this frozen continent. I will buy them all for you in a few days and tell them to Liuhua one by one."
"Although my brother is not as strong as you, my brother promised Rikka to live well. There will be magic crystals, and Rikka will wake up, right?"
"Let me rest for a few days. After I recover my magic power, my brother will go to the ice field to kill the mercenary group. Rikka will have a good rest in the Wonder House. My brother will definitely come back before sunset."
During the days when Rikka was in coma, Boom got used to talking to himself, getting used to making promises, getting used to waking up alone every day, and living alone.
Boom's idea is very simple. Since he and Rikka are still alive now, they must live well and never give up on any problem.
As for the outcome, Boom doesn't know, and has no interest in knowing. He likes to enjoy the process, no matter how painful it is.
It was night, and Boom fell asleep soundly against the tent wall. This was the deepest sleep he had had in recent days, and at the same time, he was also the most at ease.
The two hands were close together, one looked white and tender, while the other was covered in filth, with mud mixed with blood stains. The sun rose in the east and set in the west. Boom stayed in the Wonder House for three consecutive days, recovering his magic power every day.
