The next morning, Liuhua returned to the small courtyard like a thief. Although Ah Da and Ah Er wanted to ask, Liuhua glared back fiercely.
After seeing that Boom was still asleep, Rikka quickly walked to the stove. But before she could light the fire to cook, Boom sat up like a ghost.
"The smell is so fragrant. Although it is very unfamiliar, it has to be convincing." Boom smiled, stretched, and then put away the black wooden staff.
"Uh... this is whale oil perfume. If my brother likes it, then Rikka can buy more in the future."
"You haven't slept all night. Rikka will make breakfast right now. Brother, it's better to lie down."
Rikka's face turned red, and then she glanced at the black wooden staff. Since her brother had just put it away, it proved that he didn't sleep at all last night.
"I'm just practicing. If Rikka likes to live in the stone tower, you can go find Belinda in the future." Boom waved his hand indifferently, then walked out of the room unchanged and stood blankly in the center of the yard. This is Boom's habit. According to his words: Only by truly feeling the world can we live a valuable life. Human beings are very small, at least compared to the sky.
A moment later, the bacon was sizzling in the pot, and the bread was lying softly on the plate. Rikka greeted Boom, and then gave some of the food to Ah Da and Ah Er.
"Brother, how many gold coins do you think a bottle of this whale oil perfume costs? It will probably be very expensive." Liuhua picked up a piece of bread and asked with a smile.
"I don't know. We will find out later when we go to the Whispering Forest and ask Grand Magister Christine." Boom sniffed and replied helplessly.
"So what should we do today? The snowstorm has stopped, and Rikka wants to go out for more walks." Even though she said this, her real intention was to find the orphan brother and sister.
"Okay, then let's go hunting in the ice field, but my magic power has not recovered yet, so today I have to rely on Rikka-sama." Boom cupped his hands and replied half-jokingly.
Rikka laughed when she heard this, and then patted her chest. She didn't care about anything else, but she was happy with Boom's mental state.
Old injuries flare up from time to time, new injuries have just healed, the scenes of bulimia are vivid in my mind, and the threat of losing my mind and going crazy is always lingering.
Therefore, Rikka no longer cares about Boom's training, let alone where Boom will reach in the end. As long as he is healthy, that is her greatest wish.
The courtyard door slowly opened, and the two walked out of the city lord's mansion side by side, and stepped into the ice field half an hour later. However, today Boom was huddled in his leather robe like an ordinary person, looking like he was watching a show.
As for Rikka, her hands have long been transformed into short blades. Her long dark purple hair is dancing in the wind, and her whole body stands like a god of war between heaven and earth.
However, as time passed, Boom yawned again and again, and finally even leaned against an ice tree and narrowed his eyes. Rikka put down the short blade and ran to Boom with a suspicious look on his face.
"Brother, what's going on? A herd of beasts?" Rikka tilted her little head, and the bunch of stupid hair on her head kept shaking, indicating that she was very confused and confused at the moment.
"It's a warm moon now. Even in this frozen continent, those beasts will expand their range of operations."
"Coupled with the continuous hunting for several months, no matter how stupid the beasts are, they will instinctively stay away from Changsuo City. And according to my guess, they will never hunt now. Even if we find them, they will only be two or three kittens.
Only."
Boom smiled and explained that this was the reason why he agreed to allow Rikka to hunt alone today. Boom, like Rikka, also likes to read books, but most of the books he reads are historical or informational.<
/p>
Therefore, compared to Rikka's literary and artistic atmosphere, Boom appears to be extremely realistic. Otherwise, how would he know about such a thing.
"Oh, this is why brother fooled Rikka. I'm not happy. Brother, hurry up and coax me." Rikka sat down on the snow and said with a pout.
Soon after, the two returned to Changsuo City. Boom was holding two bunches of candied haws, while Rikka was walking in front of them. But just as the two were about to return to the small courtyard, the guard captain came over. p>
After explaining his purpose, he led the two of them into the stone tower and finally into Belinda's room. Rikka sat by the fireplace with a dark face, rubbing the two-tailed raccoon casually, with the intention of strangling it to death.
.
Boom stood there, looking directly at Belinda, waiting for the other party's explanation. A hint of violence emerged out of thin air, the guard captain put his hand on his waist, and Rikka suddenly grabbed Boom's leather robe. p>
"You must also know that after the frozen continent enters the warm moon, the beasts disperse, and the food problem arises again."
"But fortunately, foreign caravans are also arriving in the Forgotten Strait one after another, so we can survive for another year. I invite you here today because I plan to expand Changsuo City."
Belinda is a straightforward person, which is also the nature of the Vikings. Since the other party has lived in the ancient city for a long time, the other party's advice is needed on this matter.
"First, the tundra continent is poor in resources. Instead of laboring to expand Changsuo City, it would be better to think about getting more gold coins or food."
"Second, these matters have nothing to do with us. As the city lord, you should discuss it with the nobles instead of sending someone to invite us brothers and sisters."
"Third, I don't understand your behavior. No matter what aspect you consider, expanding Changsuo City is a thankless move."
Boom thought for a while and then expressed his opinion. Although he was born in Aogu City, he had no feelings for it.
In his childhood memories, suffering is always present, and pain is as close as the air. Therefore, although these words may seem very blunt, they are also words from the bottom of Boom's heart.
"First of all, any development is based on sacrifice. The frozen continent is barren and backward, and only by making changes can there be a glimmer of hope."
"Secondly, this is not the ancient continent. My status as city lord is far superior to that of those nobles. I believe you already know that."
"Finally, the expansion is to provide more residences, because only in this way can more poor people survive the cold months, and an exclusive trading area for foreigners can be established."
Belinda answered slowly and calmly that these were the goals she had set long ago, so they seemed to be watertight and well-founded.
Boom was speechless again, and then he sighed and sat next to Rikka. Time passed by, and Boom also expressed his thoughts.
Referring to the reconstruction of the garbage dump outside Aogu City, he suggested to Belinda that on the one hand, the expansion area should be set up in the slums, and on the other hand, he also gave numerous bloody strategies.
The guard captain stood beside him all the time. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was shocked in his heart. He admired his thoughtfulness but was also afraid of his cruelty and ruthlessness.
The setting sun dyed Changsuo City red, and Boom and Rikka also returned to the small courtyard. Belinda stroked her contracted beast, sometimes smiling, sometimes lamenting.
Finally, she picked up the quill and signed her name on the official document that had been prepared. The captain of the guard bowed and saluted, and then an owl flew towards the village.
