The days are like a sponge. Yesterday I was praying for nectar, but today I excreted countless body fluids. Boom stood at the door of the courtyard, watching Rikka's figure disappear.
However, Rikka did not go to the Miracle Plains. She did not know when she started to develop the habit of taking one day off every week. On this day, she hypnotized herself into an ordinary human being and wandered around Augu City like a poor person. As a contracted beast, her ultimate goal is not to earn gold coins, nor is she a bloodthirsty butcher. Instead, like Boom, she fully integrates into the human world.
Because only in this way can she better protect Boom or enhance the relationship between the two. No matter how bad it is, she will not be scolded for some trivial things.
Walking on the bluestone road, the noisy and crowded crowd was like an invisible big hand, pushing her forward. Rikka had no destination, and she had to learn everything related to human beings.
Because Boom once said that although Rikka looks the same as a humanoid in appearance, you can still feel some differences as long as you stay close to her for a long time.
It felt like facing a talking monster. No matter how well Rikka concealed it, she could not completely eliminate the natural beastly aura.
Therefore, Rikka privately decided to take one day a week to observe humans, observe everyone's behavior, observe quarrels, fights and coercion.
Under the gray linen hood, Rikka's little face always had a smile, which was the disguise given to her by Boom. The two meteorite iron swords at her waist were wrapped in rags, which proved that she did not want to transform her hands. p>
Sitting at a stall on the street, she was eating a bowl of meat soup that was not too delicious, or it would be more accurate to call it starch soup.
Occasionally passing pedestrians may be mercenary groups planning to leave the city, or criminals looking for their targets. As for the carriages of nobles, apart from bringing a puff of dust, they have no value for observation.
The market area was crowded at this time. The poor were choosing the cheapest food, and the servants of the nobles were still arrogant. Countless vendors were shouting, just hoping that the things could be cleared out as soon as possible.
Two fish, a bundle of celery, and a few potatoes. When Rikka finally put the milk into the bamboo basket, she quietly turned into a small alley.
A few minutes later, Rikka started her observation journey again, but the things she just bought were put into the dimensional space.
Near noon, she was sitting in the small square in front of the Imperial College. Although her eyes were always staring at the fountain in the center, she glanced to one side from the corner of her eye.
The death of Francis, the blessed knight, at the hands of Antony has already spread throughout the world. But no one knows that the Cisse spy who disappeared has done it himself.
As for those stolen magic books, they are all piled up in the House of Wonders at the moment, and the hand resting on them is naturally Boom’s.
Therefore, after hearing that Imperial College planned to rebuild the tutor building, Rikka decided to come and take a look. She had no good impression of this college, except for the scene where Boom was ridiculed and had no choice but to drop out.
To be honest, Rikka now wants to rush in, pull out the noble who laughed at Boom, and poke a hundred holes in his body with a steel knife.
Thinking of this, Rikka suddenly lowered her head, and her little face hidden under the hood was full of coldness. Although this expression disappeared in a flash, there was still a possibility of exposing herself.
Rikka learned a lot from Boom, and one of them is: when facing unnecessary dangers, choosing to stay away is the wisest choice.
I saw that she was holding a small leather notebook in her hand, which was filled with what Boom had said, and she even added her own thoughts recently.
"I'm such a good baby. I guess there aren't many contract beasts who work as hard as I do." Rikka closed the notepad and put it into the dimensional space under her robe.
She did not eat at noon today because she came to experience human life, so she naturally had to follow the habits of most poor people.
Walking in the narrow alley near the Imperial Academy, Rikka looked up at the sky from time to time to identify the direction. In the afternoon, she planned to go to the East Gate because she had never been there.
The overall view of the Royal City of Ogu is like a huge poached egg. In the center is the city, and surrounding it is the Miracle Plain.
The city gate is divided into four parts from southeast to northwest. The north gate is closest to the black market and is where Rikka comes in and out most. The south gate is close to the Secret Magic Union and the Mage Tower, and leads directly to the Principality of Moronir.
The west gate is the most spacious, connecting the palace, and is the main route to the Principality of Knight and the Principality of Floy. The east gate is close to the market area and the Imperial Academy, and outside the city is a smelly garbage dump.<
/p>
With the attitude of learning everything, Rikka walked out of the east city gate, and dived into the garbage dump under the strange gazes of the guards.
However, Rikka's expression suddenly became very strange, because in front of her there was not just a lot of garbage, but as if she had entered another world.
I saw countless people in ragged clothes, lying or sitting. As for the residences of these people, they were shacks made of garbage.
When everyone saw Rikka's arrival, they did not show the slightest surprise. In their eyes, this little girl was just a curious baby in the city, and today's game should be to explore the garbage dump.
Rikka was walking on a road that couldn't be called a road. Sometimes her feet got caught on a piece of scrap metal, and sometimes she stepped on dog feces and cat urine.
Lowering her head, Rikka's expression was very ugly. She didn't believe that Boom didn't know anything about this place, which was a kind of concealment from herself and a lie.
"Humph! My brother is indeed a bad guy! I must ask for an explanation after I go back today!" Rikka thought, but gradually went deeper and deeper.
Stab! A broken sword stuck diagonally on the ground made a small opening in Rikka's robe. When Rikka, who was already a little depressed, saw this, she could no longer suppress her emotions.
The hood was slowly taken off, and Rikka stood there with a cold face. She really wanted to meet someone or any living thing now, and her hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
However, as time passed by, Rikka inhaled countless stenches into her lungs and found no one to vent to.
She slowly pulled her hood up again, and after a moment of hesitation, she threw it into the garbage beside her. And the leather-bound notepad appeared again.
"Today is the last few days of Kagetsu, and I came to the garbage dump outside the East City Gate. It seems like another Ogu City, but there are no nobles, only poor people, or those people can't even be called poor." Rikka quickly recorded it.
The beautiful cursive calligraphy is no less impressive than that of any Star City scholar.
"Brother deceived me again, but being deceived can only be attributed to my own incompetence. Because deception is also a skill, this is my current shortcoming." After Liuhua finished writing this, he did not forget to describe it again.
to express one’s complaints.
After doing all this, Rikka really looked around, or she wanted to leave as soon as possible. But just when she was about to get up and return the same way, she suddenly heard the sound of a piano, low and emotional.
