Time passed day by day, and finally the frozen continent ushered in a black rainy night. But here, there was no cold and dark rain, but was replaced by clouds.
Boom seemed a little taciturn that day, and Rikka also changed from her usual frolics and quietly added firewood to make tea, looking extremely well-behaved.
"Rikka, in the next three days, you must not leave me even half a step, let alone leave the Wonder House on your own." Although there are no dark rainy nights in the frozen continent, Boom still habitually reminds Rikka to be more careful.<
/p>
This is Boom's old habit, or it would be more appropriate to call it a "problem". Because he can't forget all the experiences he had when he was a child, and he doesn't want to rummage through the trash cans anymore.
Rikka nodded when she heard the words, then smiled and put a pot of hot tea next to her. There was no sound of rejecting snacks in the Wonder House, only the occasional sound of the fire was constantly emitting an orange-red light. p>
Looking at the gloomy clouds outside the window, Boom felt depressed for no reason. He raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and then sighed heavily.
"Brother... why don't we go live in the dimensional space tonight? Anyway, we can observe the situation in the real world there. Even if there is any danger, we can come back immediately."
Rikka's voice was inaudible. Because of the fusion of souls, she naturally noticed something strange about Boom. It was a breath of despair, so desperate that it was comparable to the dark clouds in the sky.
Boom did not speak, but slowly raised his right hand. The petal magic pattern inside it flashed fluorescently, and then it was printed on Rikka's forehead.
Two balls of white light came one after another. After Boom came to the dimensional space, he exhaled heavily. Rikka, who was beside him, frowned and helped Boom up with a look of concern.
"I'm fine, but because today happens to be a dark rainy night, I'm a little upset."
"Now that we have arrived in the dimensional space, let's simply take stock of our supplies and prepare for the upcoming journey."
Boom tried his best to force out a smile, but when this smile fell in Rikka's eyes, it was uglier than crying. Nodding, Rikka took Boom's arm and walked slowly towards the small courtyard.
Ten sacks of dried meat, five large wooden boxes of white bread, and countless kinds of seasonings. Boom only felt that the dimensional space was like a miniature market area, except for the fresh vegetables and fruits that were not easy to preserve.
Besides, maybe there are only a few missing vendors.
Gently pushing the door open, Boom stood there blankly. It wasn't that he didn't want to go in, but that there was no place to step inside.
There are more than a dozen black mage robes and more than twenty pairs of handmade leather boots. The burlap hood is spotless, and the perfectly cut beast furs are constantly exuding fragrance.
Candles, needlework, mirrors, teapots, pots and pans. A change of clothes and pants were neatly ironed, and the exquisite tableware was polished to a shine.
Gently open the first box on the wooden table, and you can see that the things inside have been classified and arranged. On the left are nearly a hundred middle-grade magic crystals, in the middle are more than 20 high-grade magic crystals, and on the far right
In the grid, there are three dragon crystals presented by the frost giant Ymir.
The other two boxes were also opened by Boom, and one was filled with gold coins, while the other was filled with more than a dozen crystal coins. These are all the material reserves of the brother and sister, or in other words, Rikka's personal treasury.<
/p>
"Rikka, thank you for your hard work. Not only was my brother unable to help, but I also asked you to support me." Boom sighed, then turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.
"No, my brother is very good to me. If my brother hadn't carried me and fled to the tundra continent, I would have died on that unknown hill."
"Brother has always said, we brothers and sisters don't need these vain things. If my brother can escape thousands of miles to the tundra continent, then Rikka can naturally do something."
Rikka smiled sweetly and followed Boom towards the pool. She was very happy now, because getting Boom's approval was the greatest meaning of her life.
The ancient trees are still there, the pool is like a mirror, and the sea of flowers in the dimensional space rustles from time to time, as if they can feel Rikka's mood at the moment.
"Rikka, I will trouble you to come and watch tonight. My brother is a little tired and wants to take a nap." Boom lay on Rikka's lap and slowly closed his eyes.
Rikka nodded slightly, then smiled and covered Boom with a blanket, and then quietly observed everything outside.
The breeze blew a few strands of hair, and the thin dark purple threads swam back and forth on Boom's face, but Boom still fell into a deep sleep.
Gently holding each other's body, Rikka's face flushed, but she had no intention of letting go. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, Rikka completely ignored everything in the outside world, as if only she and her brother were left in the whole space.
.
She likes Boom, likes Boom's stubbornness, likes Boom's coldness and ruthlessness, likes the innocence and kindness shown by the other person occasionally, and even more likes the special smell of the other person.
Once upon a time, Rikka was born on a dark rainy night, but the first thing she saw was not her master, but a pair of black eyes.
Those eyes were full of fear, doubt, confusion, and resentment. The cold black rain hit me, and the bluestone road under my feet had no warmth.
It was a dark and dirty alley, where bedbugs and cockroaches walked together, rats hid from wild cats, and wild dogs kept barking on the side.
It was an extremely simple wooden house, and it was a dim lantern. The night in the black market is always brighter than the sun. Gold coins can be exchanged for food, but so-called magicians need expensive magic crystals to help.
The extremely noisy market area, the strange and mysterious market, the dilapidated stone statues of the gods, and the old nun who taught me herbal medicine.
The sleepless night outside the dark prison, the dazzling glare of the blade of light, the pungent smell in the garbage dump, and the two figures escaping into the distance.
Tears fell from his cheeks drop by drop, and Rikka's little hand was attached to Boom's chest, where was the wound left by him in the dark prison.
Boom is a person who doesn't like to show off his body, and perhaps only Rikka knows the reason. Because Boom's body is full of scars, and there are no intact parts.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up, the black rainy night has passed. Tomorrow Rikka will still be by your brother's side, and will always be with him until the end of the world."
"But brother, when will you understand Rikka's feelings? I don't want to be your sister. Have you really not read those romance novels seriously, big idiot brother!"
As Rikka spoke, she quickly wiped away her tears. Holding Boom quietly, she silently looked at the mysterious barrier around her, not letting go of any unusual movements in the outside world.
Some petals fell on the surface of the pool, and then they outlined circles of ripples. The ancient trees behind them moved without wind, and their branches blocked the light, seeming to be trying to piece together a shadow.
"It would be great if you could speak. Thank you for everything you have done, but people don't know the language and cannot understand what you convey."
Rikka touched the ancient tree with her little head, and then said with a smile. However, what she didn't expect was that precisely because of this small gesture, she would gain her first trusted lieutenant one day in the future.
