The first ray of morning light awakened the entire frozen continent. Rikka put away the Wonder House with a smile and jumped up and down talking non-stop. After confirming that everything was correct again, Boom nodded to indicate that the journey could start.
The mother-child masks were put on their faces again. The brother and sister pulled up their hoods and walked slowly outside the ice field. Before noon, the two finally arrived at the Strait of Oblivion. The noise was still there, and the foreign caravans coming and going looked in a hurry.
"This is my mercenary identity certificate. I hope to board the merchant ship heading to the Principality of Floy today. The mission reward will be ten gold coins."
Boom did not go directly to ask every boatman, but chose to go to the mercenary handover point and issued the first mission in his life.
"No problem, please pay ten gold coins first. If the mission fails, we will naturally return the money." Although the clerk was a little surprised when he heard this, his professional quality is still very good.
"The time limit is three days. The sooner the better. The reward is ten gold coins. All other additional expenses will be borne by the employer personally. I am right." The clerk spoke again and confirmed to Boom.
Boom nodded, then turned around and left with Rikka. The two chose a certain restaurant and ate while paying attention to the changes on the mission card.
"Brother, why don't we go and ask the boatman directly? Isn't it too much trouble?" Rikka took a bite of the bread, but her face immediately became very ugly.
"I don't want those in the frozen continent to know our itinerary, because even if we are friends, they will betray each other for the sake of profit."
"I have seen this kind of thing too many times when I was in Aogu City. Without betrayal, I cannot say how noble it is. It may just be that the interests have not reached what I expected."
"So Rikka, remember, keep a low profile at all times, don't speak if you can, and don't draw attention to yourself if you can avoid attracting attention."
Boom smiled bitterly and poured a glass of water for the other party, but after thinking about it, he ordered a glass of hot milk from the servant. The two of them sat by the window of the restaurant, where they could hide their bodies and observe the mercenary mission.
Brand.
"I know, I know! It seems that my brother's situation must be very good, otherwise he won't turn back into that nagging annoying guy."
"But brother, what if someone poops on us in the future? Will Rikka choose to tolerate it, or take action?"
Rikka made a pitiful look, her big watery eyes were gleaming, and her fleshy little face was twitching slightly.
"Then don't be impulsive. For that kind of guy, we must first investigate the opponent's identity, and then choose a place where there is no one to kill him."
"But if the other party's behavior goes too far, my brother allows you to take action directly, but you must ensure that you can escape safely."
Boom sighed, thinking that this was probably the end of his sister. Instead of wasting his words, he might as well keep a close eye on her.
Time passed by, and the Forgotten Strait in the afternoon was filled with countless cargo boxes, making it very crowded. The mission issued by Boom was also taken over by several mercenaries.
But the two brothers and sisters didn't know that there was a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the restaurant with a smile. Although they were hundreds of meters away, this person seemed to really be able to see Boom and Rikka, because there was always a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Smile.
"Grand Magister Christine, our dark elf caravan has all arrived, and nothing is damaged. Do you think..." The dark elf merchant on the side asked in a low voice.
He is a businessman from the Whispering Forest. Although he is not from a big family, he has heard of Christine's name to some extent. Therefore, he will always appear extra cautious when facing this mixed-blood peak powerhouse.
But he won’t get too close to the other person.
This is the case with the dark elves. In their hearts, the queen is the only one who is eternal. And an unpopular existence like Christine is the object of alienation from everyone.
"Well, I understand, then you can set off for Qunzhai now. When you get there, someone will naturally come to pick you up." Christine did not look back, still looking into the distance with a smile.
"Then...what do you mean, you don't plan to return to the village with us? Do you want to report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen first, and then make a decision after getting permission."
The dark elf merchant was stunned when he heard this, and then spoke again. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but he had to say what needed to be said to avoid causing harm to Chiyu in the future.
"I will explain it to the queen myself when I get the chance next time, so I won't bother you to worry about it." Christine slowly withdrew her gaze, and then looked coldly at the dark elf merchant aside.
The businessman was shocked by his stare, and finally sighed, bowed and left. He, a small member of the tribe, could not interfere in this kind of conflict between peak experts.
After all the dark elves completely disappeared on the horizon, Christine was seen lightly wiping it with her hands, and then their appearance changed completely. This is the unique "disguise" of the dark elves, and it is similar to Boom's.
The "Mother-Mother Mask" is very imaginative, and can even be said to have the same origin in different ways.
"These are two tickets to sail to the Principality of Floy." Christine stood in front of the mercenary mission card and said softly.
"Uh... Actually, you only need to provide clues. As for the cost of purchasing the ticket, the employer will bear all the costs. Do you want to wait here for a while, I will send someone to invite the employer over immediately." The clerk is waiting to confirm that the ticket is correct.
Finally, he said with some embarrassment.
"No need, I am a member of the caravan of the Principality of Floy. I just want to make some money this time. I hope you won't make any noise about it." Christine lowered her voice deliberately and made a stern look. Seeing the other party acting like this, the staff understood and accepted the few gold coins that the other party handed over. The task card changed again, and Boom and Rikka also quietly left the restaurant.
"You two, these are the tickets you entrusted. The time is when the sun sets in the evening. I hope you don't miss it." The clerk handed the two tickets to Boom and then said with a smile.
"Who is the other party? Why do you have to pay for it yourself? There will be no problem with these two tickets." Boom's face turned cold when he heard this, and the aura of an intermediate magician was fully revealed.
He did not believe that he had such good luck, nor did he believe that the mercenaries who licked blood all day long would be so kind. Therefore, Boom decided that if the other party could not give him a reasonable explanation, then he and Rikka would never board the
Ship's.
"You probably haven't been to the frozen continent a few times, so I might as well tell you that I see this kind of thing a dozen or even dozens of times every day."
"Secretly selling boat tickets is also a way for people to make a living. Life is not easy for everyone. You get what you want, and the other party also gets paid, so why not do it?"
The clerk lowered his voice, and after confirming that no one was paying attention around him, he told Boom the ins and outs of the whole incident. Boom was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into tears and laughter.
Although this was only his second sea journey in his life, he still understood the meaning of the other party's words. So as long as the two tickets were OK, Boom would naturally not do anything extraneous and stupid.<
