In the afternoon of the next day, Rikka woke up, and after careful inspection, she found that there was no damage at all. Boom and Christine had been sitting by the bed. The former had a worried look on his face, while the latter got up and opened the wooden door of the tree house.
.
"Now that we're awake, let's talk about the next thing." Queen Donna still looked as cold as ever, and she still arrived quietly.
"Wow! You are a ghost. You can't even make a sound when you walk! My brother can't beat you, and I can't beat you now, but Rikka hasn't used her full strength yet. You'd better be careful!" When Rikka saw Queen Donna coming again, she unexpectedly
He jumped off the bed and scolded loudly.
"Rikka must not be rude. She is the queen of the dark elves and the owner of the Whispering Forest. And she also cured your injury. That pill is very precious." Boom grabbed Rikka and immediately protected her behind him.<
/p>
"Bah! Rikka won't be grateful for hurting someone and then healing them. If you don't ask her to hand over the formula of the pill, you will have made up for it!" Rikka stuck out his head and said fiercely again.
.
Christine felt a headache when she heard this. Although she had not been with Rikka for a long time, she knew that his brain circuit was strange, or that he did not understand the world.
Queen Donna was dumbfounded by Rikka's sudden "attack". She was still sitting at the wooden table, looking at the brother and sister in front of her.
"First of all, you were exhausted because of the secret technique, which has nothing to do with me."
"Secondly, I never took the initiative from beginning to end. You don't think that is my true strength."
"Finally, the formula is the treasure of the dark elves, so don't think about it. But if you need it, you are always welcome to ask me to get it."
Queen Donna said softly while tapping her fingers on the table. Christine, who was standing next to her, heard a hint of surprise on her face.
After getting along for many years, although Christine could not completely guess the thoughts of the dark elf queen, she could still guess its general meaning from a few words. In other words, if she guessed correctly, Queen Donna should give up.
He planned to kill the Boom brothers and sisters.
"Uh... Anyway, he was injured in the Whispering Forest. As the owner, you should be responsible, take full responsibility!" Rikka thought for a while, and finally replied in a very confused manner.
Time passed by, and the four of them kept talking in the bookstore. Except for the so-called secrets, Boom told all his plans without any hesitation. Because in front of the Dark Elf Queen, all lies are like child's play, no matter what
Is it her identity as a four-winged killer, or her experience of being nearly a thousand years old.
"I can let you take Christine out of the Whispering Forest, but everything has a price, so what can you pay?" Queen Donna said, and then swept the female contract beast with a cold gaze. For this
She is even more familiar with the little guy than Christine as her owner, because the female contract beast was Donna's birthday gift to Christine.
"We, brother and sister, have nothing. We are neither big nobles nor the overlords of a separate country. But if you want to be interested in space magic, this parchment is naturally yours." Boom frowned and thought for a while.
Afterwards, he replied without hesitation.
In his heart, whether it is himself, Rikka, or even Christine, they are far more important than that parchment. Becoming a great mage is certainly full of temptations, but if the three of them can safely walk out of the Whispering Forest, all the costs will be
It also seems insignificant.
"Isn't this thing already connected to your bloodline? Moreover, the dark elves have their own way of cultivation and do not need any external help." Queen Donna looked directly at Boom proudly and then replied in a deep voice. Because even if you are a space magician,
In the most prosperous era of ancient magic, dark elves were able to occupy a place in the elven continent with their own hands.
"Okay, I can allow you to come and go freely in the Whispering Forest, but the price is a promise from you. You must help the Whispering Forest when it is in trouble, and from now on, you must not kill any dark elf at will.
”
Queen Donna finally stated the conditions, then raised her hand and threw the parchment that recorded the space spell back to Boom. Christine, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but immediately bowed and saluted, with a flash of light in his eyes.
Admire.
Perhaps Donna is not the most perfect ruler, but she is the one who cherishes her people the most. In addition to her identity as a four-winged killer, she also has a fiery heart.
"If Christine has no objection to this, I would be honored." Boom handed the parchment to Rikka and then turned to look at Christine.
What it means to be a companion is to stand in front of the other person in times of crisis, to drink together in victory, and to consider the other person's feelings before doing anything else. Although Christine is a mixed elf, she
She is a pure dark elf at heart. Therefore, Boom naturally has to seek her advice on this aspect.
"My current identity is only a member of the 'Rikka Mercenary Group', but I personally can guarantee that the Whispering Forest will always be my homeland."
Christine first smiled and nodded to Boom, and then looked at Queen Donna calmly. Although she was very calm on the surface now, her heart was already rippled.
A teardrop slipped from the corner of Christine's eye, and after being refracted with countless lights, it instantly wet the ground. Once upon a time, Christine never thought that one day she would leave the Whispering Forest, and leave so carelessly.
Once upon a time, the only reason for her to live was to become stronger, just to complete the tasks assigned to her by the Queen. Once upon a time, Christine would only stare blankly at the night every night, watching the falling stars.
Once upon a time, she could only look at those tribesmen with envy, could only stay in a daze alone in the tree house, and could only rely on the female contract beast for life.
Queen Donna's hands were delicate and cold. After Boom made the promise, his tense nerves relaxed. Because for a four-winged killer, there was no way to deceive Boom, an intermediate magician.
Necessity, even if Boom is a space weirdo.
"Um...Dark Elf Queen, right? Now that you've finished talking about the serious business, Rikka still has a problem."
"Can you give Rikka some 'secret dried insects'? It's all to commemorate our friendship."
Seeing that the two parties finally shook hands and made peace, Rikka rolled her eyes and asked Queen Donna for the "Secret Dried Insects". Boom and Christine looked at each other and smiled bitterly, while Queen Donna gave a rare sigh and then took it from her storage.
The bagman took out a large bag of "secret dried insects".
The long night has completely faded, and the Whispering Forest is still quiet, but there is no one in the tree house anymore. Boom and Christine bowed and saluted, while Rikka smiled, always holding the cloth bag filled with dried insects in his arms.<
/p>
"Go back. Do I still need you to protect me secretly?" Queen Donna returned to her usual appearance after Boom and the others disappeared. She saw countless assassins appearing from the shadows, waiting for her to return.
