In the afternoon of the next day, after Boom finished his training, he and Rikka wandered around Changsuo City. Rikka never mentioned the owner of the beast's pressure again, and Boom also had his own plans.
"Brother, we are also enjoying the treatment of nobles now. I guess it was sent by sister Belinda." Rikka did not look back, but there was a half-smile on her face.
"Asking them to follow us will save Belinda from guessing, but if they dare to disturb us, don't blame my brother for taking action."
Boom sighed after hearing this, and did not want to cause trouble for no reason. But Rikka was a person who liked to make things clear, so she immediately stopped.
"You have all heard it, right? Follow if you like, but if you disturb us, Rikka will be very unhappy. Don't let Sister Belinda embarrass you then."
Rikka blurted out these words, which not only shocked the pedestrians, but also made Boom shake his head. A Er walked out of a dark alley, and then stood in front of the two of them very naked.
Boom didn't talk nonsense anymore, and Rikka patted Ah Er's forehead with her small hand. The street returned to normal again, Rikka held up the candied haws, and Boom's hands were filled with brown paper bags.
"No one will live here anymore? How about we move here?" Rikka stood outside the Marquis's mansion, but it was already covered with ice and snow.
"Let's forget it. It's too unlucky here. Aren't Rikka afraid of nightmares in the middle of the night?" Boom looked at the ruins in front of him and replied with a smile.
Time passed slowly, and after another half an hour passed, Boom and Rikka walked into a certain shop. This is the only bookstore in Changsuo City, and it is also a place that few people visit.
Most of the Vikings are extremely tough. Perhaps except for the professionals and the orcs, their physical fitness is the best. But in terms of knowledge level, they are only stronger than the beasts, not even as good as the young people of the ancient continent. Although the world has always been in conflict, overall, it is also in a delicate balance. However, the Vikings have always upheld the ancestral precepts and always respected martial arts.
Therefore, although Boom has been to this bookstore, in his impression, most of the books sold there are outdated.
If Rikka hadn't asked to come and see if there were any new romance novels today, Boom would never have taken another step forward, or even glanced at them.
Books were placed on the bookshelf one after another, with a thin layer of dust clinging to the surface. Liuhua walked to the wooden cabinet in the center with ease, her eyes full of longing.
A moment later, Rikka held four or five brand-new books and ran back to Boom with a satisfied look on her face. Apart from eating snacks, her only other hobby was reading novels.
"Boss, how much are these books in total?" Boom took out the storage bag and asked flatly. But his eyes froze for an instant, fixed on the piece of brown paper in the other person's hand.
"Ah, it's Rikka-sama, it's twenty silver coins in total, just a fraction." The old man put away the brown paper and immediately put on a businessman's professional smile.
However, after Boom paid the silver coins, he did not leave. He took a step forward, and then showed a rare trace of kindness.
Rikka grinned and thought to herself: This brother of mine must be trying to trick people again, otherwise how could he show himself like this, and the other party is still a stranger.
"Boss, this kraft paper is a map of the world? Can you let me take a look?" Boom pointed at the thing in the other person's hand and then said.
The boss was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Boom seriously. He didn't know him, so he thought he was one of Rikka-sama's personal servants.
"Oh? Little brother is also interested in geography knowledge? Come on, come on, just take a look." The old man had a preconceived idea and thought that Boom was a young man who likes to learn.
In this situation of meeting a close friend from a long distance, the old man didn't mind sharing his collection with Boom, and took out another notebook from under the table.
"This is the city of Ogu, and in the northwest are the Principality of Cambay, the Principality of Knight, and the Principality of Cisse."
"This is a sea of ice, and this area is naturally the frozen continent where I am."
While Boom carefully identified various signs, he talked about them like a treasure trove. After hearing the words, the old man nodded in agreement, and his eyes became much gentler.
He is a native Viking, and has never left Changsuo City in his life. But he is also an outlier. He does not like to wield swords and guns, but immerses himself in the ocean of knowledge all day long.
This piece of kraft paper was a pledge of a foreign businessman, but more than ten years later, it has now become his own collection.
Despite its shabby appearance, it has detailed records of the geographical location of the entire world, and even the cities within each principality are marked in detail.
For ordinary people, and even most professionals, this thing is dispensable and useless. But for homeless people like Boom, it is an extremely important thing.
"Is there only one copy of this map? Does the boss have any other copies?" Boom carefully rolled up the brown paper and then returned it to the other party.
"No more, we Vikings are not good at these delicate jobs, so this is the only one we have." The boss sighed, his brows filled with regret.
"That's such a pity, I won't bother you. Goodbye." Boom pulled the confused Rikka out of the shop, and then walked straight to the city lord's mansion.
Rikka wanted to ask, but after seeing the sneer on Boom's lips, she said nothing more. Ah Er stood in the dark alley and did not take this episode to heart.
As night fell, Boom and Rikka had dinner as usual. The former lit up the fire, and the latter happily looked at the novel he had just bought.
She likes these imaginative words very much. It is an illusion that she can never experience personally, and it is also the way for her to perceive human beings.
Boom walked up to Rikka, caressing her little head, and picked up a certain novel. He had read every novel by Rikka, not because he liked her, but because he wanted to know more about her.
"Are there any interesting novels recently?" Boom asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that novel is so well written. It imagines a world thousands of years from now, where people live in beehives, and the sun is replaced by some kind of luminous body." Rikka replied with excitement.<
/p>
"That's really exciting, but my brother is going out now. Can Miss Rikka accompany me?" Boom put on his leather robe and asked softly.
"Brother Stinky, how many times have I told you to call me Princess!" Rikka blew out the candle and followed him with a smile.
A moment later, a certain shop in Changsuo City was engulfed in flames. The city owner, Belinda, frowned and wore only a pair of pajamas. However, Boom and Rikka, who had returned to the courtyard again, were sitting around the fire. "Rikka, this map is very interesting. Keep it away and study it more if you have nothing else to do." Boom said and drank the hot tea with a smile.
This is also a change caused by Boom's madness. If it were before, he would not kill the opponent, but would steal or rob.
But now Boom has understood that if he doesn't do this, others will do the same to him. Therefore, he has no feelings for anyone except Rikka.
