In the next two days, Boom slept like a dead pig, and Rikka returned to his former playful self. The business at the transfer station was still going on in an orderly manner, but most of the gold coins were exchanged for magic crystals.
.Boom’s cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds, but the problems that followed appeared again.
"These books are very useful, but how did you know that I need these things?" Boom closed the "A Brief History of Contract Beasts" in his hand and walked downstairs with Rikka, who was dressed as a little cook. "Hehe, they said that my master is a young nobleman who has just become a magic apprentice. Who knew that the bookstore owner suddenly became energetic and wanted to take out everything he had packed in the bottom of the box." Rikka proudly brought out a plate of vegetable stew.
Rice, this is a new product that she worked hard for many days to complete. However, she still received no compliments in response, but the empty plate was waiting to be filled again.
"Smart! But remember to pay attention to your expression when you speak next time. You have to look like a villain in order to deceive those old fritters. In addition, I have also learned a little about contract beasts these days. After eating for a while,
, let’s study it?” Boom pushed the pottery bowl filled with broth to the other party, which contained meat tendons for two people.
Ten minutes later, the two returned to the house after having lunch. Boom was sorting out his emotions and seemed to be thinking about where to start. Rikka, on the other hand, looked indifferent. As a contracted beast, she had to tell her master
Loyal, not to mention that his brother is so kind to him. I saw Boom frowning, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes flipping through books, but Rikka peeled the orange, and did not forget to taste a few mouthfuls from time to time to praise the name.
It is said to test the poison with one's own body.
"Okay, although you and I are considered brothers and sisters, the relationship between master and servant cannot be ignored. Through these days of research, I have roughly understood what a contract beast is. So now, tell me, what are your abilities?
"Boom raised his hand to catch the orange thrown to him and asked helplessly.
"Actually... I don't know myself. But that day in the trash can, someone seemed to be able to transform. To be precise, he could turn his hands into short blades." Rikka tilted her head and thought about it, and then she recalled what she had done a few days ago.
I spoke out about the strange change, but the weird dream was suppressed in my heart.
"Show me, I need to know your abilities. Only in this way can I make correct judgments in times of danger." Boom heard this and was a little unbelievable, because from what he learned through books, contract beasts can be roughly divided into eggs.
, cub, mature body (with areas that increase fighting spirit or magic power), fully manifested body (fight independently or merge with the master). A very few demon pets can also temporarily possess the level of combat power at the level of transformed monsters through self-destruction or overdraft of life. Rikka stood up after hearing the words, trying to recall the feeling when she transformed that day. Time passed by, and Boom's expression changed from expectant to sleepy, and finally fell asleep. However, the unaware Rikka remained as usual.
My eyes were closed tightly, but except for holding in a few muffled farts, my hands remained unchanged.
"Brother! You are such a bad guy! You have been busy for a long time, but you are lazy and sleeping! Get up! I am about to transform!" Rikka, who was still a little depressed, saw that Boom was sleeping so fast that he even had a smile on his face.
A stream of tears flowed out, and she was immediately out of breath. She jumped up high like a little kitten, and instantly fell on Boom, while the old wooden bed creaked.
Wail.
But at this moment, the Rikka pattern on the forehead suddenly lit up. Boom was startled when he saw this, and his right hand involuntarily touched the steel knife in his arms. Rikka was even more stupid on the spot, but he reacted
After coming over, I was a little happy. I saw that his hands turned into tan short blades again, and even his forearms were dyed tan. However, the mysterious magic pattern on his chest did not light up, but even so, it was enough.
Prove that what you say is true.
The smooth blade reflected the sunlight, causing Boom to squint his eyes, but Rikka's next move almost took his breath away. He could only see him waving the arm that turned into a short blade casually a few times.
Most of the wooden furniture in the house disintegrated and scattered all over the floor.
"Stop! Stop it! Oh my god, if you dare to move again, get out of here immediately!" Boom was a little angry at the moment. His originally good little nest was now in ruins. Apart from the four walls, there was nothing left.
It looks like home.
"Brother, I understand a little bit. This kind of transformation ability will only appear when you are happy or sad. The first time was when the original owner of this place was eliminated, and the second time was when he was thrown into the trash can by my brother.
Now it's because I'm in a happy mood." Rikka stood there, looking at her arms curiously.
"In a happy mood? Are you happy or not? I don't know, but I am definitely unhappy now! Look at the good things you have done!" After saying this, Boom leaned back habitually, but the result was that he fell over and fell straight.
It made Rikka laugh.
Two hours later, the room was tidied up by the two of them. Boom was very happy because today he finally knew about Rikka's abilities. However, there has never been a contracted beast born in human form, at least not recorded in books.
"Therefore, your identity will remain hidden. As for the so-called mysterious magic pattern, we will talk about it when it appears next time. Brother is very happy that you have the ability to protect yourself, but unless it is a matter of life and death, never show it to others.
I hope you can understand what I mean." Boom rubbed Rikka's little head and said softly.
"Huh! I'm just a little girl. All fights with bad guys are naturally handled by my brother. Not to mention, tonight is the 'Magic Crystal Day' and I'm going out." Rikka waved her little hand that had returned to human form.
Then he put on his gray linen hood and quietly went out.
No more, no more secrets! I saw Liuhua turning left and right on a familiar road, and after a while she came to the edge of the trading field. Along the way, her expression always had a satisfied smile, which was a sense of belonging, and even more
It's dependence. As a contracted beast, she can best feel the thoughts of her master and the feeling of pampering. She really wants to do it again, again. If this is also a dream, then it is best that she never wakes up. p>
But she, who had been carefully trained by Boom since she was born, now had a straight face. After confirming that there was no danger around, she walked straight into an alley. But the figure in the dark was already waiting there. "This will be the place where we trade from now on. After all, there are many people talking in that trading place, and it is inevitable that someone will find out one day. In addition, it seems that you came a little early today. Could it be..." Rikka lowered her voice and said, as if
She looked like Boom. However, she also learned about the other party's situation from Boom's mouth, so every time she made a transaction, she would intentionally or unintentionally "be stupid" and pay the other party a few more gold coins.
"Of course there is no problem. I got something from there today. Are you interested? Of course, this does not affect our transaction." The man nodded after hearing this, and then put a long wooden box
Passed it to Rikka.
"This is a staff, called Black Wood. I am not a magician, so I don't know its value. If you make a price, it will belong to you!" The man was also a little timid, because this thing was in the warehouse of the Earl's Mansion.
He has been lying there for I don’t know how many years. If I hadn’t been doing the rat barn thing now, I probably wouldn’t have remembered it.
"Including this week's two magic crystals, there are five gold coins in total! This thing is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't sell it, take it back!" Although Rikka knew what the staff was, she couldn't.
She has never seen it with her own eyes, but her brother seems to be lacking this thing at the moment. If the price is reasonable, she doesn't mind taking it back.
A few minutes later, the two figures went their separate ways. The man returned to the slums with five gold coins in his pocket, and Rikka also carried the wooden box and turned into the small courtyard. This is her habit, to be generous when going out and be cautious when returning.
.It is precisely because of this that she is often praised and even pampered by Boom.
