Chapter 427 As light and graceful as tiptoes touching the ground
The next day, the rain of petals in the ancient continent gradually stopped, and the strange movements of the twelve monsters also disappeared. Except for the newly promoted antelope knight Nellie, the whole world seemed to be back on track.
However, people in the frozen continent were panicking at this time. The ice and snow were melting rapidly, and the sun was extremely dazzling. Whether it was a group of villages or Changsuo City, everyone looked blankly at the sky, with white clouds floating inside.
"Wow, the cold moon turns out to be clear and clear. It's so warm. Mom, can I go out to play?"
"Husband, what's going on? Are the gods dissatisfied with our sacrifice? Why do they have to impose divine punishment?"
"Hurry up and close the courtyard door. No one is allowed to go out these days. The frozen continent is over. We will all fall into the abyss."
"Have we finally waited for this day? Everyone deserves to die and should be buried with my son, hahahaha."
Rumors filled the streets and alleys, and many professionals packed their bags and headed towards the Forgotten Strait. They were not Vikings, so naturally they chose to leave when the water was in dire straits.
The ice sheet collapsed, and the dark soil swept across the frozen continent like night. Countless beasts got into the caves, and the ice trees were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom stopped casting the healing circle and looked out the window in astonishment. He didn't know what was going on, but his first reaction was to carry Rikka on his back and escape from Changsuo City.
But just when he was about to wrap the other party with a bearskin blanket, a small hand suddenly grabbed his fur robe. Boom's face was stagnant, but then he was extremely ecstatic.
Two lines of tears welled up in his eyes. After several months, Boom finally received Rikka's response. The door closed with a bang, and Boom returned to the Wonderful House again with Rikka in his arms.
"Rikka, can you hear what my brother is saying? My brother is fine. Rikka can sleep as long as he wants. Do not force him to wake up."
Boom wanted to lose some more magic power to Rikka, but found that the other party turned him away. Withdrawing his palm, Boom immediately lit the fire.
He didn't know what Rikka was going through, nor did he know that the other party already knew everything. Boom was a very simple person, and whenever Rikka needed it, he would give it to her without hesitation.
Be it magic power or fire. Boom has never cared about these things. As long as he can help Rikka, even a little bit is a top priority.
The words were divided into two parts. Just when Boom was extremely happy, Rikka slowly floated into the white light. Her body began to disintegrate, disappearing in the wind like a sand sculpture.
"Brother, Rikka has worked very hard. I don't know if I can return to the living world again. I really want to cook a meal for my brother with my own hands again."
Rikka's feet disappeared, and countless gravel fell. But she always smiled and looked at the white light around her with a gentle look.
"If Rikka really dies, will my brother live a good life? Will he get another contract beast? Will he forget Rikka?"
The trend of collapse spread to her waist. Rikka turned her hands into human shapes, her long dark purple hair draped behind her back, and the stars in her pupils gradually disappeared.
"But... Rikka is very narrow-minded. My brother can only be Rikka's brother, and Rikka can only be my brother's relative."
"My intuition tells me that I must never leave my brother unless we go to the Hall of Valor together, or some other hellish place."
Rikka grinned, then completely ignored the remaining half of her body and kept crawling forward. As long as there is still a trace of strength, the hope of returning to the present world is not completely destroyed.
However, the reality will not change for anyone. Although the white light is soft, the body is about to disappear. The short blade turns into a spot of light, and finally Rikka disappears out of thin air.
There was no lament, no reluctance, and no last words. Liuhua was completely lost in the white light, as if she had never appeared.
The memory was withdrawn, and Rikka fell into a deep sleep again. The sky was strangely clear in Changsuo City, and the temperature rose sharply. People took off their leather robes one after another, and many even stood shirtless on the street.
After an unknown amount of time, a petal appeared in the white void, like a light and graceful dancer, performing an unpredictable scene.
The tip of the petal trembled slightly, as if it had touched something, more like a dancer's toes spinning in place. The temperature in Changsuo City became increasingly sultry, and it was comparable to the Sunrise Hills where the trolls were entrenched.
The city lord Belinda stood by the window, and the guard captain hesitated to speak with a worried look on his face. All the nobles closed the courtyard doors tightly, and there was no longer any bossing around.
The perspective returned to the realm of nothingness again, and the petals were seen curling into a ball, and finally transformed into a fluorescent seed.
In an instant, countless white lights were absorbed crazily by it, and even the space seemed to be crumbling. The fine roots twisted slowly, and the emerald green rhizomes stretched longer and longer.
Ten seconds, one day, three years. The petals finally turned into a giant bud, which was covered with dense magic patterns and constantly exuded a terrifying aura.
The magic patterns flowed slowly, and the petals seemed to be guarding. Rikka closed her eyes tightly, and the scars on her body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Rikka, since you like the frozen continent, my brother will accompany you. At worst, we will go to the Hall of Valor together. My brother only hopes that Rikka is safe and sound, and that you can no longer experience suffering."
Boom has not gone out these days, but has always been with Rikka. He doesn't care about the vision outside the window, which is nothing compared to Rikka.
"Brother, Rikka seems to have made a mistake again. Why don't you wait a little longer? They seem to be changing again."
"Rikka has inherited many strange memories. Rikka doesn't understand these things, so she can only ask her brother for advice in the future."
"I miss my brother so much. I must eat well, otherwise Rikka will be sad."
Sometimes the buds bulge, and sometimes they shrink slowly. The six flowers are curled up inside like a baby. Although they are still unable to move, their thinking is clear and abnormal.
Unlike when she evolved before, Rikka has no other emotions at all now. "Return to the world as soon as possible" is her only thought.
The dew slid rapidly on the outer wall of the flower bud, and the magic lines crawled slowly like a colony of ants. The white light in the space was like a roof, blocking out all disturbances.
Two snow cats quietly jumped into the courtyard. They are the subordinates of Belinda's contract beast, and they are also responsible for monitoring Boom.
But when it approached the door, one of them suddenly froze and jumped into the alley as if fleeing for its life. As for the other snow cat, it was already frozen and motionless.
The escaped snow cat was a little sad, sad about the death of his companion. But he was also a little happy, happy that he could escape from that small courtyard.
But before it could walk out of the alley, it vomited blood and collapsed beside the trash can. It was an undisguised death and the tragic fate of a shattered soul.
At this time, the city lord Belinda was looking at her contracted beast in great astonishment. She saw that the originally lazy two-tailed raccoon was exuding the pressure of a beast for no reason today.
There was no sound, and no reply to the owner's inquiry. The two-tailed raccoon jumped up and jumped out of the stone tower lightly. But after a moment, it was lying on the ground, no longer daring to be agitated.
