This world has never stopped experiencing turbulence, such as the "Conscription Law" of the Principality of Cambay, or the undercurrents between Iron Hook Island and Crab Island.
Compared with the frozen continent on the other side of the world, it seems surprisingly peaceful, at least on the surface it seems peaceful.
After more than ten days of training, Boom not only recovered, but also completely mastered the essentials of strangling the magic circle. Compared with attacking the magic circle, although it consumes a lot more magic power, the power is also increased countless times. p>
"The raging flames of vengeance hide, torment, wait, the weird faceless face, the dim magic crystal remains, in my name, strangle the magic circle!"
The black wooden staff floats in mid-air, and wisps of magic fluorescence are constantly leaking out. The magic pattern petals covered with barbs on the surface are lifelike, with lightning and thunder inside, roaring waves and fire resonating.
However, there is always a trace of helplessness on Boom's face, or it would be more appropriate to call it "satisfaction". Because the target of the strangulation circle is the little girl Rikka.
Rikka was seen standing motionless, with no intention of taking action except that her skin was completely tan.
Bang! Bang! He was even chewing sugar-fried nuts in his mouth, and almost sat down on the ground to sleep. The strangulation circle lasted for five minutes, and finally Boom put away the black wooden staff, and then
Walked in front of the other party.
"Brother, this new magic circle is quite powerful, probably no worse than those high-level magicians." Rikka clapped her hands, raised her head and asked with a smile.
However, in her eyes, Boom's health is the most important thing. As for whether he is powerful or not, he can only be ranked second or even third.
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't compare to Little Princess Liuhua. You don't have dwarf blood, right? That tan skin looks like dwarf stone skin."
"How are you doing? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you are tired, take a few magic crystals, and don't hold on. The power of the strangulation circle is terrifying, at least it is far more powerful than ordinary high-level spells."
Boom stroked Rikka's little head and said softly. Two high-grade magic crystals appeared in his hand, and they were stuffed into his hands without waiting for the other party to refuse.
Boom has two purposes for doing this. One is to test the strength of the strangling circle, and the other is to ensure that Rikka will not be injured in the circle.
The difference in results will directly affect the way the two cooperate in the future. But Boom is very happy at the moment, because nothing has changed, and he is getting stronger.
"Lord Boom, Miss Rikka, the dinner time is approaching, would you like to go and join us? The dishes tonight are very good, including fresh snow crabs and fruits from Shimmering Forest."
When the waiter saw that the battle between Boom and Rikka was over, he cautiously came up to them. As their exclusive servant, although he is not a professional, he is also very thoughtful and knows how to observe words and emotions.
Boom nodded lightly, and after Rikka heard the word "snow crab", she had the intention of jumping directly into the palace. However, the bunch of stupid hair on her head was tightly held in her hand by Boom. Along the way, although the waiter gave a lively introduction, Boom and Rikka turned a deaf ear to it. One listened with a smile, while the other kept making noisy noises.
Today is the celebration day of the village. This is how the Vikings are. As long as there is any excuse, they will get together and have a drink. This habit can be called barbaric, but it is also bold and simple.
The snow on the square is melting rapidly, the huge bonfire is crackling, half-pound barbecues are piled up like a mountain, the aroma of ale permeates the air, and obscene words can be heard endlessly.
Rudeness was the only theme of the banquet, and the sounds of informal chewing came together. The poor worked hard to stuff the meat into their bellies, while the nobles sipped their ale and whispered.
"Welcome to the banquet, Count Boom, who is in good health, and our lovely and playful Miss Rikka." Ragna, the Lord of the frozen soil, nodded slightly, and then motioned for Boom and Rikka to sit down.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have a few words to say. Count Boom is young and promising, so I plan to appoint him as the monitor of the village and participate in the daily royal meeting discussions."
"Our frozen continent has always adhered to the concept of 'those who can live there'. I also hope that everyone can treat Count Boom well in the future, otherwise I will kill those guys who don't open their eyes."
Ragna said with a smile, and then turned to stare at Boom who was in a daze beside him. This was the result of several days of discussions between him and the Divine Blessing Knight Tanya, with the sole purpose of keeping Rikka in the tundra continent.
"I have no interest in participating in the Royal Council, and I have never even thought of myself as a noble count. I appreciate your kindness, but please don't embarrass me."
"I have a very good impression of the Tundra Continent, whether it is Changsuo City or the current Qunzhai. Although I am a guest, it still feels like my homeland."
"So I don't want to ruin this atmosphere, let alone leave angrily again. I just treat these words as a drunken gaffe, and forget them all after a sleep."
Boom shook his head and refused bluntly. Because he rejected the nobles from the bottom of his heart, it was naturally impossible for him to attend any imperial meeting.
What's more, Rikka's wish is to travel the whole world, not to stay in this bitter cold place all her life. Just now, Boom rejected the other party without hesitation, without any hesitation at all.
"Do you want my brother to stay on the frozen continent for the rest of his life? If that's the case, Rikka will be angry."
"What are you looking at? I have never seen such a cute girl! Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyes!"
Rikka's face also darkened. Although he didn't understand the deep meaning behind these words, he didn't intend to stay with the wind and snow for the rest of his life.
Divine Knight Tanya smiled bitterly and shook her head, while Lord Ragnar of the frozen soil sighed. The banquet was still going on, but the air around Boom became more and more stagnant.
"I agree with Teacher Boom's response. Strong people should go out and explore the world instead of settling in a corner and enjoying leisure time every day."
The eldest prince Bjorn was the first to speak. His idea was simple. His parents were right. Because they were the masters of the frozen soil, they naturally wanted to seek strong support for the frozen soil continent.
But Boom and Rikka are right. To be honest, they are just strangers in a foreign land. As long as they can leave with gratitude, that will be the best ending.
"I also agree with Teacher Boom's response, but everyone in the world has to choose a place to stay in the end, and I hope to see you two again one day in the future."
"And by then, the situation in the frozen continent will definitely improve. At least the magic crystals needed for cultivation and the snacks that Master Rikka loves to eat will definitely be provided."
The second prince Umber thought for a while, and then gave his suggestion. As soon as he said this, Ragna looked at his youngest son in surprise, while Tanya frowned slightly.
Rikka was still eating as if nothing was wrong, as if she didn't hear what the other party said at all. As for Boom, he nodded happily and raised his glass for the first time, acknowledging Umber's thoughts.
The nobles present had different expressions. They were all old foxes, so they naturally understood the intention of Boom's move. However, in their hearts, the eldest prince Bjorn was the best candidate to succeed the Lord of the Tundra in the future.
