The reconstruction progress of the backyard of the city lord's mansion is a bit slow, because it is not only Belinda's private space, but also the treasury settlement point of Changsuo City.
From choosing trustworthy manpower, to measuring dimensions and selecting materials, to layer upon layer of approval and inventory, the final start date was set for more than half a month.
As the city lord, Belinda is naturally accustomed to this kind of thing, while Boom and Rikka always have an indifferent attitude.
The days did not seem to fall into chaos due to Boom's trouble, but the ripples were spreading rapidly in Changsuo City.
"Have you heard? The explosion two days ago was caused by Lord Boom. It is said that he went crazy while practicing and just couldn't control the magic power leaking out of his body."
"Really? Why are the facts I heard different from yours? I have a buddy who works in the city lord's mansion. He said that Master Boom was innocently acting out of temper, so he destroyed the courtyard."
"What you said is wrong. The truth is that Master Boom asked the city lord for magic crystals necessary for practice, and the quantity was huge. He just had a quarrel with the city lord, and finally vented his anger."
"Everyone, actually the reason of the matter is not important. The end point is why the city lord indulges Lord Boom so much? If there is nothing else going on between the two of us?"
"You mean... between the city lord and Lord Boom... how is this possible? The city lord is a descendant of an old noble family, and although Lord Boom is powerful, he is not one of our Vikings."<
/p>
"Brother, this is wrong. What age are we in now? Let's not talk about those young beauties who fly on the branches and become phoenixes. Even with Lord Boom's own tyrannical strength, if he wants to, can he easily get a noble title?
”
"That's not right. The city lord is already in his forties, and Lord Boom is heard to be less than twenty years old. The gap is too big. If I say that both of them can be mother and son."
"Bah, this is called mutual love, isn't it? Is age a problem? Look at those nobles, which one is not surrounded by little wives all day long?"
"Shhh! The city guards changing the guard have come in. Let's keep our voices down. Don't watch the excitement and get yourself killed."
In the Changsuo City bar, business seems to be very good these two days. But it's not that the bar has come up with any new tricks, but that people are used to exchanging news, or gossip, here.
They already knew about the destruction of the city lord's mansion through various channels. However, the city lord Belinda kept her mouth shut about the matter. She had no intention of punishing Boom, and even welcomed the brother and sister into the stone tower where she lived. Therefore, in this case, it will inevitably make people suspicious. Because even if Boom has potential, he is only a mid-level magician now. How can a city lord compromise like this?
If there wasn't some inexplicable relationship between the two, it is estimated that even if Boom was not punished, he would at least be kicked out of the city lord's mansion.
The city guards ate their food while listening to the whispers in their ears. However, they did not scold the gossiping crowd, because even they themselves were a little puzzled by the city lord's actions.
Two days later, Liuhua got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast with Boom, she skipped towards the market area.
The snow crabs ordered arrived today, and several seasonings not found in the tundra continent were also promised to be delivered in the morning. Just now, Rikka did not go to the ice field again today, but walked out of the stone tower side by side with Boom.
Along the way, Rikka, a heartless little girl, was not only having fun, but Boom always felt a little weird, or there was a hint of strangeness in the eyes of passers-by.
"Miss Rikka, these are the snow crabs you ordered, three males and three females, with fresh, yellow and fat flesh."
"In addition, this big fish is all my thoughts. I wish Lord Boom and the city lord a happy marriage and a son soon. I will also give you more thoughtful gifts at the wedding banquet."
While the vendor handed the snow crab to Rikka, he also handed over the frozen lake fish that had been prepared for a long time. Rumor has it that after these two days of fermentation, Boom has been vividly described as Belinda's lover. p>
"What?" Poof, Liuhua spurted out the juice in his mouth when he heard the words, while Boom frowned even more, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, the brother and sister walked out of an alley again, and their current appearance was that of the mother-in-law mask.
There were endless rumors, and Boom couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and Rikka became more and more angry. The brother and sister were no longer in the mood to hang around, and then turned around and walked quickly towards the city lord's mansion.
Dong Dong Dong! Someone knocked on the wooden door from outside. The city owner Belinda rubbed her brow and motioned for the other party to come in angrily.
"You are here, just in time. I plan to go find you too."
"Have you heard about those things? They are so ridiculous! I will definitely deal with this matter seriously!"
It was rare for Belinda to drink in broad daylight, and she could be seen walking back and forth in the room irritably, sometimes scolding the servants, and sometimes glaring at her trusted guards.
"How did you become the captain of the guard? Why didn't you notice the abnormality in Changsuo City at the first time!"
"Now go away and guard the city gate. When you have figured it out, you will come back!"
"Also, tell the bar owner and the mercenary union that if I hear another gossip, their lives will be in danger."
The personal guard adjutant left silently amidst Belinda's scolding. He was also very depressed now, thinking that he was not a snow cat, so how could he pay attention to everyone's actions at all times.
"Rikka and I plan to leave Changsuo City right now. These gold coins are a small token of our brother and sister's wishes. We hope that more people can survive."
After Boom finished speaking, he waited for the other party to respond, then pulled Rikka out of the stone tower. Rikka made no sound from the beginning to the end, because the other party had already violated her reverse scale.
Rikka can tolerate saying that Boom is a bumpkin; Rikka also agrees with saying that Boom is not strong enough. But if someone tries to possess her brother, Rikka will have a different attitude.
The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, and the city owner Belinda sat alone in the ruins, staring at the sky silently. The personal guard adjutant stood aside at some point, neither speaking nor making any move.
"Have you left? Do you feel sorry for them?" Belinda's voice sounded faintly.
It turns out that the whole thing was a farce directed and performed by her, just because Boom and Rikka declined the kindness of the Lord of the Tundra, just because she was the Lord of Changsuo City.
It will naturally be of great benefit to Changsuo City for the two brothers and sisters to stay. But if someone with ulterior motives is reported to the Lord of the Tundra for this reason, then she, as the city owner, will be done for.
When it's time to break, it's time to break, and Belinda believes in her ability to recognize people, and she also believes in the strength of Boom and Rikka. Instead of living in the frozen continent for a lifetime, it is better to take this opportunity to stay away completely.
"We have entered the ice field, but Miss Rikka seems a little unhappy." The adjutant of the personal guard sighed and replied softly.
As the supporting actor in this farce, he felt very sorry for Boom and Rikka to leave. However, this is often the case. Since you can't resist, it's better to accept it calmly.
