Chapter 413 Candle of Life

 After three days of rest, Boom has completely recovered as before. However, at this time, he had to separate from Rikka because the food had reached the bottom.

Boom gently arranged the bearskin blanket and extinguished the fire completely to avoid any accidents when he went out. Rikka still closed her eyes tightly. Although her skin was no longer deteriorating, there was no sign of improvement.

"Rikka, brother is going out. Do you feel lonely at home alone?"

"Don't worry, brother promises you that he will come back before the sun sets every day. Rikka has a good rest."

After Boom said that, he immediately opened the curtain of the Wonder House and got out of the underground secret room. The bed was closed again, and the door was chained. Boom was still wearing his torn leather robe, and the black wooden staff was still shrinking.

In the cuff.

Although Boom has lived in Changsuo City for a while, today was the first time he took a closer look at the city. He looked left and right from time to time along the way, but his figure was always in the shadows.

Rugged leather robes and boots, faces covered with flesh, beast carcasses can be seen everywhere, children are running in the wind and snow, and snow cats appear from time to time passing overhead.

"It's really an interesting place. Although the climate is severe, life here is very peaceful."

"Rikka's decision is very correct. This is the place where escapees should come. The Cisse cavalry must not have thought of it. It's true that stupid people are lucky."

"It's just that there are too few professionals. We didn't even see any magic equipment shops along the way. There isn't even a market area."

Boom's expression froze, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Even if the frozen continent is barren, it is still a principality that has existed for thousands of years, and it is also the home of the Vikings.

Therefore, even if things go wrong, it will definitely not be what he imagined. Boom was thinking wildly while walking forward with the sparse flow of people.

Half an hour later, Boom finally arrived at his destination, but looking around, it looked extremely desolate. A wry smile appeared again, and Boom immediately walked in.

Although the market area of ​​Changsuo City covers a large area, the number of vendors and buyers is very few. And most of the items sold there are beast carcasses or dried bacon.

Along the way, Boom found that the vegetables and fruits in the tundra continent were extremely expensive, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved. It was completely dependent on purchasing from abroad, so it’s crazy that the prices are not high.

Boom didn't have much interest in fresh meat, so after purchasing some dried meat, he turned around and left the market area. It was now mid-afternoon, and Boom continued to explore.

This is his habit, and it is also due to his personality. When it comes to unknown things, Boom always likes to figure out the situation first, and then think about the next step.

Going around and around, although the journey in the snow was a bit difficult, Changsuo City was only one-third the size of the High Court of Cisse. More than two hours later, Boom finally stood at the door of the monastery. This was also the last thing he was interested in.

place.

There were no guards to check, no noise of traffic, and no bustling crowds of people. Boom entered slowly, but stayed where he was in an instant.

Sacred texts praising the gods echoed in the hall. Compared with the ancient city, these Vikings seemed more profound and deep, and more pious.

The nun who presided over the ceremony knelt down in front of the statues of the gods. The open space in front of her was filled with tall candles. The candlelight flickered continuously, and the dim light spread in all corners of the monastery.

Boom was sitting in the third row, neither making any move nor asking questions. He listened to people's prayers, but his expression became increasingly weird.

"All-knowing and all-powerful gods, please save my child. He hasn't eaten for three days. I hope you can give me a few gold coins."

"Since my daughter is getting married, the dowry is pitifully small. I hope the gods can punish that family and return their wealth to us."

"I am the most devout believer. Please bless me to hunt countless wild beasts in the future. It is best if the beast has a storage bag hidden in its belly, and the storage bag contains a thousand gold coins."

"The man I like is an idiot because he doesn't like me. Gods above, please punish this man and let him have no descendants!"

While listening to these "devout prayers", Boom almost didn't laugh. If the candlelight in front of him kept shaking, Boom would even feel like he was in a slum.

Boom doesn't know whether the gods exist because he has never seen them with his own eyes. But these people are real bastards who have nothing else in mind except their own interests.

Sighing, Boom finally walked up to the nun. The gold coin drew a graceful curve in the air, and then accurately fell into the wooden box.

The nun nodded slightly, then handed a large candle to Boom, and pointed to the open space aside. Boom bowed in return. Although he did not believe in the gods, he was willing to try anything that was beneficial to Rikka.<

/p>

Kneeling on the ground, Boom actually recited a sacred text praising the gods for the first time. Accurate and decisive, the nun slowly closed her mouth, and everyone present also looked at Boom curiously.

"May the gods bless my sister who is in deep suffering, and may she wake up soon." After saying this, Boom raised his hand and lit the giant candle. The whole process seemed extremely pious.

I don’t know who was the first to roar, and a moment later, the entire monastery was filled with Viking war roars. Boom kept bowing and saluting. He was very emotional at this time and sincerely thanked these strangers for their blessings.

The door of the monastery slowly closed, and Boom stood in the wind and snow. The depression that had accumulated in his heart was swept away. A smile appeared again, and Boom walked towards the way he came as if he was reborn.

The candle of life is a ritual for people in the frozen continent to pray to the gods. It will burn for three days, and when it is extinguished, the wish will come true.

Boom thought and shook his head slightly. He didn't believe in these things, so he only looked pious on the surface.

The more important thing in front of him was a dark alley in front of him. Creak, creak, creak! He stood at the entrance of the alley and walked in with a playful expression.

"Little girl, that's my money bag, have you seen enough?" Boom's silhouette suddenly sounded, which almost made the other party faint from fright.

"You, you, you... don't come over! Me, me, me, I'm very powerful! No, no, no, leave quickly if you don't want to die." The little girl stammered in reply.

"You're just a little thief. Give me your things back and I can let you go." The black wood staff from the leather sleeve instantly slipped out, and twelve fireballs appeared instantly.

Boom doesn't have the mercy of Rikka. He will deal with anyone who dares to threaten him, even if the other person is just a child.

Bang! Boom finally took back the money bag and stuffed the other person into the trash can. The little girl had tears in her eyes, biting her lips and glaring angrily.

"You stole my things, and I don't hold you accountable. It's the greatest mercy."

"This world is cruel. Be careful next time you steal something. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me. Do you understand?"

After Boom said this, he wanted to turn around and leave. But this time, a weak fighting spirit slash shot out.
