The setting sun dyed the snow orange red, the noise in the village gradually dissipated, the smoke evaporated, and the ice picks were stretched again.
Rikka ended her week-long observation activities and opened the courtyard door dejectedly. The aroma of barbecue hit her face, and two pieces of white sugar cake were still warm in the copper pot.
When Boom saw the other party coming back, he inserted the half-cooked meat skewers next to the campfire. However, Rikka drooped her little head, without any surprise on her face.
"How is it? Is the life of ordinary people wonderful? Or is the truth of this world terrible?" Boom handed the other party a glass of hot milk and then asked with a smile.
During this week, Boom witnessed Rikka go from being very excited at the beginning to numbly recording everything he saw.
Because of the soul fusion, Boom's mood was also greatly affected. But even so, he did not say anything.
This is something Rikka must experience personally, and it is the threshold for him to integrate into the human world. In the past, he will be like ordinary people in the future. If he fails, his identity will be exposed one day in the future.
Before he becomes a peak powerhouse, Boom will never allow the identity of the Rikka Humanoid Contracted Beast to be announced to the world. Because that is the stupidest behavior and will put the two of them into a desperate situation.
"How many times have I told you that snow crab porridge is delicious! Brother, you are such an idiot, don't you know these things are very expensive!"
"Hurry up and bring me the sugar cake. I haven't eaten anything today and I'm going to starve to death!"
Rikka waved her fist angrily, trying hard to pretend that nothing had happened. However, the irritation in her eyes betrayed her directly.
Boom was not angry when he saw this situation, and directly handed the sugar cake that he had prepared to the other party, and thoughtfully tested the temperature first.
Zhila! The fat in the beef intestines fell on the charcoal, making a sweet sound. Boom said nothing more, just lowered his head and looked at the food.
"Everyone has their own life, just like you are born without knowing what 'fear' is, just like the troubles of ordinary people, just like the blessed knight Tanya will also be jealous, just like my brother, I can never get rid of the problem of doubting people.
, just like these worthless offal, but it can satisfy those who eat it."
"Rikka, you may have some misunderstandings. My brother agrees with you to do this, not to ask you to live like someone else one day in the future, but as a way of learning."
"You know the things you like very well, and you have to force yourself to understand the things you don't like. You are very powerful, and you may be able to surpass all the top experts in the future, but even so, you are not a god."
"The world will not change instantly because of a certain person, or even a certain principality, so we can only adapt to it rather than choose to swim upstream."
"It's like those fish that swim back to their hometown during the spawning period. Have any of them succeeded? Yes! How many? A lot! But with that one-thousandth chance, I won't fight for it, and I don't want you to do that either.
."
"As for what you have seen and heard this week, it is just something that ordinary people know. You can either choose to turn a blind eye or not hear it, or simply be cruel. Anyway, you are just a stranger."
The chili powder was mixed with fat, and the black pepper was roasted to create a charming aroma. After saying this, Boom handed the other party a bunch of grilled beef intestines.
However, Boom was just standing there in a daze, half a piece of sugar cake stuffed in his mouth, but the other half was already covered with frost.
Painful, unbearable, unwilling, and relieved. Finally, Rikka reached out and took the skewer of grilled beef intestines, and her expression changed to her usual look.
This may be Rikka's biggest advantage, she dares to love or hate, and she goes straight. Except for Boom, everything for her is just a small episode to adjust her life.
Because no matter how painful it is, Rikka will not rush to save anyone; no matter how unbearable she is, she will not let go of even a low-grade magic crystal.
No matter how unwilling she is, she will kill the enemy with just a word from Boom. Then when everything is over, as long as her brother can hold her in his arms, everything will be relieved and disappear.
"Then why can't everyone live in peace? The nobles live the lives of the rich, and the ordinary people live their own lives."
Rikka raised her head and looked at Boom with confusion. Because in her opinion, many human behaviors are harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, and are completely unnecessary.
"Because if that happens, the world will collapse! You can think of it as human nature, maybe a substitute for roaring towards fate."
"The more people lack something, the more they have to show it. If everyone were the 'Twelve Monsters', the world would be much quieter, but it would also be extremely boring."
The conversation between the two lasted until late at night. Ragnar, the lord of the frozen soil, and Tanya, the divine knight, stood outside the courtyard gate at some unknown time, listening quietly to Boom's every word.
Although Boom already knew this, he had no intention of inviting him in or expelling him. Rikka's left hand turned into a short blade, but his right hand still held the skewer of grilled beef intestines.
The wind and snow came again, and the four high-ranking knights guarding the courtyard gate bowed and saluted, and then silently stood at their posts. The bonfire in the courtyard was also submerged in the snow, and the wisp of green smoke tried its best to float into the distance, but in the end it dissipated. The four-color magic pattern light strip of "Elemental Summoning" lit up the room, and the black wooden staff floated in the air as usual. Boom started practicing at night, looking like a magician.
But tonight Rikka didn't bother Boom again. She obediently filled the teapot with hot water and then got into the bearskin blanket.
A white light group appeared out of thin air for the first time, and Rikka came to the dimensional space in her belly, intending to sort out her thoughts so that she could figure it out.
Lying in the sea of flowers, the pool in front of her was like a mirror, and the ancient trees beside her were lush. She opened another notebook, which was her secret. Even Boom had never read it.
"I hope that I can leave the ancient continent with my brother in the future and build a pain-free country in an unknown place."
"But before that, Rikka must become stronger, defeat all the peak experts, and defeat all the masters of Warcraft. The phosphorescent beetle Nnoitra tastes pretty good, and I don't know how other ancient beasts are."
Time passed by, and Rikka leaned under the ancient tree, sometimes muttering to herself, sometimes blushing, not daring to raise her head to look at the person who was practicing magic.
The four-color magic pattern light band of "Elemental Summoning" gradually dimmed. Boom slowly opened his eyes and put away the black wooden staff. He came to Rikka's bed and carefully arranged the bearskin blanket that was kicked into pieces by the other party.
.
Boom has done this behavior tens of thousands of times, and Rikka doesn't know she has watched it tens of thousands of times. But this small behavior makes Rikka feel sweet in her heart, and it is her favorite thing before going to bed every night.
Things to look forward to.
The room was completely silent, except for the occasional crackling of the fire, and only the all-pervasive cold wind was still causing trouble. Rikka fell asleep in the dimensional space, and Boom also closed his eyes in the real world.
The ancient tree swayed slightly and inaudibly, as if it were guarding the six flowers, and seemed to be thinking about the two lines of small words on the notebook. A fallen leaf fell into the pond, and the ripples spread outward, and the entire sea of flowers suddenly became orchid. p>
