Soul Map·Dragon's Breath
Chapter 2
Shaggy's white tits are on his right chest.After he woke up, he looked down and saw two hazy blue cat eyes on his chest, which almost scared him to death.Not to mention whether it looks good or not, at first glance, Dudu's pair of slit blue cat's eyes really make hair stand on end.After trying to summon his soul beast once with spiritual power, Xia Qi really wanted to hit the wall - it really was a cat, a transparent and thin white cat!And this white cat persisted for 10 minutes before disappearing.
The control of soul beasts is very complicated, not just using mental power, so the cultivation of soul warriors is also very complicated.Xia Qi, who can only show his mental strength, can only let this little white cat stay in a daze for 10 minutes.
After the soul beast awakens, the soul pattern will gradually disappear and hide under its own skin, just like Yaheng's wolf.Not Shaggy.After his two cat eyes came out, he never went back.Not only that, but his soul beast Bai Mimi has no sense of attributes after being summoned, it is just a transparent and dull cat.Yaheng's soul pattern is completely black, including the eyes, but Xia Qi's soul pattern has two blue eyes, so Xia Qi has been holding on to the content about the power of the soul beast and the soul pattern described in the book. The skeptical attitude obviously doesn't match his.
As an illustrator who has drawn countless cats, now facing such a pair of scary cat eyes, Xia Qi looks darker and darker.If the one awakened is a tiger, he will work hard in the direction of the soul warrior.But what can a cat do?Catch mice and ward off evil spirits?It has to be a black cat to ward off evil spirits!Xia Qi resolutely gave up the path of soul warrior and concentrated on studying his pharmacy.But those cat eyes couldn't get out of his head, because he was startled every time he took a shower.
After thinking about it, Xia Qi, who completely gave up on the soul warrior, did not have any hope for his transparent little white cat.He concocted a white dyeing potion, and then used a pharmacist's needle pen to tattoo himself a cute cat's head on the basis of the cat's eye.For soul illustrators, painting on skin is similar to painting on paper, the only difference is the pain!While getting the tattoo, Shaki couldn't help but slip into another world.It wasn't until he woke up covered in sweat that he realized that he was out of strength, and only half of the cat's head was tattooed.
However, this act of not scaring him for the sake of beauty, made Xia Qi discover an amazing thing.It was originally a transparent little white cat, but after he got half of the cat's head tattooed, it was summoned again and turned into a fat big white cat!And it's alive!Can touch it!Not the original translucent cat that felt like it could be poked with a finger!It's just that the white cat is still very dull, and still doesn't have any attribute abilities.
In this world, the attacks of soul beasts are similar to the magic attacks in the magical world that Xia Qi is familiar with. They are divided into metal, plant, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, and wind attributes.The attributes and abilities of the soul beast will also affect the character of the soul warrior.
Yaheng's wolf is earth attribute.Yaheng's temper is simple and straightforward, with the tenacity of the earth, but he is not a good old man without principles. After all, the attributes of soul beasts only have some influence on the master, not the character of the master.
Back to Shaggy.After discovering that the cat has changed, Xia Qi has been trembling for a whole month, for fear that someone will discover his "secret".If tattoos can change soul beasts, that would be simply too terrifying!Even if he came here through time travel, he also knows that no one here would do this!Otherwise, the textbook would not indicate that the integrity of the soul pattern is related to the level of soul power.The reason why commoners have low abilities is that the soul beasts are not strong enough, and the other reason is that their soul patterns are very incomplete, so it is difficult to appear soul warriors, and high-level soul warriors are even more extravagant.And if the incompleteness of the soul pattern can be made up through tattoos, then these will not be a problem long ago, so no one in this world can complete the soul pattern, no!
Thinking that he might be the first person to eat crabs, Xia Qi is glad that he has never shown the original white Mimi in front of others.When Bai Mimi was summoned for the first time, Xia Qi was worried that the soul beast would not look good, so he secretly summoned it by himself; later, he didn’t want to make people laugh, so he was too embarrassed to call it out in front of others; later, Bai Mimi changed, and Xia Qi was afraid of death , and let no one see it.Only Yaheng saw it once, and Xia Qi only showed him once after he asked for it several times.
Afterwards, Xia Qi completed the other half of the cat's head. As a result, Bai Mimi gained a lot of weight and could move!Afterwards, Xia Qi re-prepared a tattoo potion, which was the best potion he could make at this stage of ability, adding the effects of speed and refreshing.As a cat, you need to be quick and agile, but Bai Mimi is too dull, so you need to be smarter.Xia Qi, who was broken and broken, didn't care if he could do it or not, so he used the newly prepared potion to get the tattoo again. He had already decided not to call out Bai Mimi unless necessary.
This time Xia Qi still had a cat head tattoo, and he was going to experiment.The tattoo potion dispensed this time was brown, but the white Mimi summoned was still "white" Mimi, and did not turn into brown Mimi.But this time, Bai Mimi grew bigger again, the new potion on the tattoo actually swallowed the white potion on the first tattoo, so there is no need to worry about the tattoo getting lost.This time he still only got half of the cat's head tattooed. As soon as he recovered from the cat's head, Xia Qi fainted directly. His mental strength was seriously overdrawn, and his physical fitness was too poor. This overdraft directly affected his body. It took a month of recuperation to recover.
Mental power can be recovered, improved, and cultivated through meditation, but physical fitness must be hammered and chained by the power of the soul beast in addition to exercise.But the power of hammering and chaining soul beasts needs to absorb natural spirit crystals or soul crystals of strange beasts. Xia Qi has no conditions to get these things. He has only seen first-level spirit crystals and soul crystals, and it was Yaheng who got them. Yes, he was embarrassed to ask for it.Besides, higher-level potions require higher-level materials, which are all money.So no matter how you look at it, Xia Qi must try his best to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Tramingo. He needs to learn more advanced knowledge of potions to develop more advanced tattoo potions, and he has to use more advanced potions in exchange for renown tattoos. You can spend more money to buy spirit crystals and soul crystals to enhance your physical fitness.Without the blessing of his family, he can only rely on himself.
Xia Qi didn't intend to reveal the secret that he was going to develop a tattoo potion, but he wanted to use the best potion to complete Bai Mimi.He wanted to know if Bai Mimi would turn into a white tiger when he tattooed Bai Mimi's whole body; he also wanted to study whether tattooing other patterns on his body would affect the spirit beast's ability.It's just that this kind of tattoo requires strong mental and physical support, and also needs more research on the soul tattoo, so he must take his time, there is no rush.
Xia Qi didn't intend to complete Yaheng's wolf, his mental and physical strength couldn't support it, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.The wolf's head on Yaheng's left shoulder is only two-thirds, and one eye is missing.Yaheng's wolf is earth attribute, with high defense and good attack power.Xia Qi focused on strength-enhancing and defensive potions, added auxiliary potions that enhanced soil attributes, and formulated a suitable tattoo potion according to a certain ratio——Xia Qi found that potions can be used as tattoo potions after research, so he dared to do this. what to do.
Using a stylus to dip in the potion, Xia Qi carefully pierced Yaheng's left shoulder. Relying on his own memory, he added little by little the missing third of the wolf's head.First drew two strokes on the original soul tattoo, and found that the color of the potion was slowly disappearing under the skin, Xia Qi let go of his hands and feet, otherwise Yaheng woke up and found that he had a third wolf head tattoo on his body, Surely it would have occurred to him that he did it.If the tattoo medicine can disappear, then Yaheng will only show the extra part of the soul tattoo during the battle, and it will be difficult for Yaheng to find out. Even if he finds out later, he will not think that he did it.If Yaheng's wolf head can be complete, then he will definitely reach the star level, and he will be qualified to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Tramingo.Xia Qi is really grateful to this good friend who has been taking care of him.
Although there is only one-third of the wolf's head, it may have something to do with Yaheng's own soul power, so Xia Qi, who just woke up from the soul pattern, was sweating profusely and pale after just mending the wolf's head.As long as he starts tattooing, he will have no way to control his mental power, maybe only mental power can allow him to use the potion on the soul tattoo.From Yaheng, Xia Qi discovered that it seems that the stronger the opponent's soul power is, the higher the mental and physical requirements for tattooing the soul tattoo.Xia Qiwen didn't have such a hard time whitening his own boobs, but it might also have something to do with the level of the potion used.
All of this, Xia Qi is still only in the initial stage of exploration.The potions he used for Yaheng were the best potions he could make. Many of the medicinal materials used to make the potions were found by Yaheng for him, and it was considered a return to Yaheng.
After dressing Yaheng and packing up his things, the tired Xia Qi sat beside Yaheng and meditated, and soon he entered his own meditation world.
When he woke up from meditation, Yaheng was no longer there, and the sky outside the window was bright.Xia Qi rubbed his throbbing forehead and sat up.Tattooing soul tattoos is very mentally exhausting. Xia Qi's mental power is already considered outstanding, but he only painted a third of the wolf's head for Yaheng, and he meditated for a whole night.Xia Qi also knew that his too thin body had hindered him a lot.
There is a note next to the pillow, Xia Qi picked it up and read it
Shaggy, I'm leaving.Thank you for dinner last night.I will train hard, and I will definitely meet you in Tramingo!Take care of yourself!Be sure to write me! (standard letters)
After exhaling, Xia Qi got out of bed with the note.Putting the note into the backpack, he looked around the room where he had lived for two years, Yaheng had cleaned all the tableware on the table.Xia Qi stared blankly at the room for a while, put on his backpack and went out of the room.As a rare good student who can be admitted to Tramingo Imperial College, the dean of the orphanage, the aunt who is in charge of taking care of Xia Qi in the orphanage, Xia Qi's teacher and principal at the school all came to see him off.After boarding the airship that runs every ten days, Xia Qi took one last look at the town where he had lived for 11 years, and waved goodbye to everyone.
■
After sitting on the airship for 20 days, Xia Qi, who was about to vomit, finally arrived in the city of Bellamica.With a one-shoulder backpack, a thin body of only 160 cm, a pale face, and the black hair of a commoner at first glance, Xia Qi who just got off the airship and came out was at a loss.The people who catch the eye are no longer the familiar black, gray, brown and other civilian colors, but there are various bright colors such as red, gold, green and blue.
Bellamica City is considered to be a relatively large main city of the Opa Empire. There are many small nobles here, and there are also branches of big nobles, so people's hair color is much brighter.Correspondingly, those nobles with bright hair will subconsciously stay away from civilians like Xia Qi. The most obvious one is that a noble who passed by Xia Qi just now pushed him aside with a cane and scolded him. I told him that he was blocking the way, and at least two people could walk between that man and Xia Qi.
Xia Qi almost couldn't resist finding a brick to shoot at, but at the moment he was impulsive, reason reminded him.This is not the earth he is familiar with. This is a perverted world with distinct classes that cannot be explained by science.Shaggy was frustrated.Although Saisaila Town is remote, everyone is the same, no one looks down on anyone, and no one discriminates against anyone.But as soon as he arrived in the big city, he was treated as a second-class citizen, thinking that in his previous life, everyone loved him, and flowers bloomed everywhere...
Exhaling, Xia Qi touched his nose in frustration, rubbed his side that hurt from the crutches, looked up and found the airship ticket office.He originally said he wanted to go shopping in Bellamica City, but he dismissed the idea. He didn't want to be chased away with a cane, so he bought a ticket to the capital, and there was an airship to fly to the capital at night.Aristocrats usually choose teleportation formations, and people like Xia Qi who have no money will come to take long-distance airships.
The waiting area is mostly populated by civilians, and you can also see a few people with brighter hair.Nobles also have their downfalls, don't they?But even if you are down and out, you are still a nobleman.The few people with bright hair formed a circle of their own, and there was a clear dividing line between them and the common people.Most of the commoners still stay away. Of course, there are also commoners who will try to curry favor with the nobles—usually such people will get contemptuous and envious looks from other commoners.
Xia Qi didn't think so much, he went to the place where the water was fetched and got a pot of water.The waiting area is a bit like a train waiting room in human society, where hot water and food are provided, hot water is free, and food has to be bought.Xia Qi bought twenty sheets of the cheapest dry biscuits for ten copper coins as his food on the road.There are boxes on the airship and food is also provided, but it costs money, and the food is very expensive.Poor people like Xia Qi can only bring their own dry food and nest in the public rest area on the airship.The airship will stop for resupply midway, and Xia Qi can leave the airship to buy the food he needs, so he only bought [-] cakes, and if he buys too many cakes, it will easily break. This is the disadvantage of not having a storage space.But Xia Qi can only think about such a high-tech thing.
Finding an empty seat, Xia Qi sat down.His legs are a little edema, his body is really not good.After drinking two sips of water, Xia Qi massaged his legs, thinking about Yaheng in his heart—wondering whether there is any expected change in Yaheng's soul beast.Yaheng had finished eating the jerky Pippi rabbit meat that Yaheng gave him, and he didn't plan to eat any more meat before he arrived at school.
"Hello."
Someone around said hello, Xia Qi turned his head, a stranger.
The one who greeted Xia Qi was a boy with brown hair and brown eyes, who was taller and stronger than Xia Qi.However, it is still very difficult to find someone who is weaker than Xia Qi in the same age.Well, the just-turned-shaggy is still underage.However, Xia Qi can only be regarded as a junior high school student now. If he goes to the advanced class step by step, he will have to study at school for at least seven years before he can graduate. This does not include repeating grades due to poor grades.If he can't advance to higher education for three consecutive years, he will have to graduate early, which of course is not a good thing.
There was a friendly smile on the other party's face, and Xia Qi responded with a smile, "Hello."
"My name is Ambu Kewa, and I'm from Babu Town. I heard you said you were going to the capital when you bought the ticket just now, and I am also going to the capital."
Xia Qi was surprised and said: "What a coincidence, my name is Xia Qi." No wonder the other party would take the initiative to greet him.
Kova asked shyly, "Well, are you a freshman recruited by Gramingo this year?"
"Huh?" This person doesn't have mind reading or clairvoyance, does he?
Seeing Xia Qi's expression, the other party knew that he had guessed right, and he said happily: "I am also a freshman recruited by Glamingo this year."
"Wow, you are a soul warrior?" In Xia Qi's opinion, the first choice of people here is the soul warrior.
Unexpectedly, Anbu Kowa shook his head and said, "I'm not a soul warrior, I'm a foundry apprentice. Are you a soul warrior?" Anbu's eyes were suspicious.
Xia Qi laughed twice: "How could I be. I am a pharmacy apprentice. You learned casting?" It seems that this person is also in the elementary class like himself.Beginner class students are all apprentice grade.
No wonder she's so skinny, but she's so pretty.Anbu smiled, "Well, my grandfather and father are both intermediate casting masters, and I have liked casting since I was a child."
"So it's a family business!"
Forge masters are the ones who forge soul warrior equipment, including weapons, armor and shields.Weapons are what every soul warrior needs.Some strength-type soul warriors use armor, shields, etc.However, soul warriors who mainly attack do not usually wear armor and shields. For example, soul warriors with fire attributes will never use bulky armor and shields.
An Bu said: "Then we can walk together."
"Yeah." Xia Qi was also very happy to meet a companion.However, Xia Qi looked at Anbu and asked curiously, "Why did you come to take the airship?" The foundry's family should not be short of money, right?
Anbu replied: "You can see a lot of scenery from the airship. You can also know where you will pass along the way. If you use the teleportation array, you won't have such fun."
"Oh..." What a great sentiment.
Xia Qi laughed and said: "I have no money. Taking the airship can save a lot of money, which can be used for my living expenses after I go to school. I am an orphan."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Anbu immediately felt embarrassed.
Xia Qi waved his hand, "It's nothing, I was an orphan in the first place, and I had no money in the first place."
Looking at the other party's face that didn't force a smile at all and really didn't care, Anbu showed a big smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you here, Xia Qi."
"I'm glad too."
Two teenagers who entered school at the same time gave birth to a pure friendship between teenagers in the waiting room of the airship.Anbu generously took out a pack of jerky from his interspatial ring and asked Xia Qi to eat it.Xia Qi didn't intend to hide that he was a bumpkin, he picked up Anbu's left hand and looked at the space ring curiously.He had only seen the one in the mayor's hand, and he had seen it from a distance. It was the first time he had seen it at such a close distance, and it was very fresh.
Putting down Anbu's hand, Xia Qi unceremoniously ate the jerky and asked, "How much can you put in your ring? Can you put living things?"
Anbu also ate the jerky, and replied: "This ring of mine was given to me by my father when I set off. It only has four cubes, and no living things can be placed in it. No living things can be placed in space props, it's just for storage. tool."
"Oh, that's it, I thought it could pretend to be a living thing." Xia Qi nodded, showing that he was educated.
Xia Qi is very cheerful, without the low self-esteem and sensitivity that civilians often have.After chatting for a while, Anbu fell in love with Xia Qi, a new friend, especially Xia Qi was very beautiful, with those black eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and the only shortcoming was that he was too thin and white.It was the first time Amber met someone who could say with a smile that he was an orphan and that he had no money.Although Anbu is a commoner, his grandfather and father are foundry masters and have a certain reputation. Even some minor nobles treat them with courtesy. It can be said that the Anbu family can be regarded as an upper-class family among commoners.
Xia Qi didn't treat Anbu cautiously or apprehensively.If Anbu gave him jerky, he would eat it; if there was no water in Anbu's kettle, Xia Qi would pour water from his own kettle to Anbu, and he would go get it himself.Anbu felt that Xia Qi was a very special person, but he couldn't explain why.
Two teenagers in similar grades were chatting, and the conversation started.Anbu asked curiously: "Xia Qi, what's your last name?"
Xia Qi almost subconsciously said "My surname is Xia", but he immediately reacted and said: "As long as I can remember, my name is Xia Qi. The grandmother of the orphanage said that when she picked me up, there was a letter in my swaddle." , wrote my name and date of birth on it, and said my name is Xia Qi. Maybe my surname is "Xia"." Maybe the person who gave birth to him didn't want him to check his own life experience, Xia Qi thinks this is the most likely possibility.
The way humans in the Opa Continent named their names is similar to the way Westerners named them in Xia Qi’s previous life, with the first name in front and the last name in the back.
An orphan with no surname but only a first name... Anbu also thought of that possibility, and he suddenly felt that Xia Qi was very pitiful.
Ambu asked: "Then are you going to find your parents?"
Xia Qi shook his head resolutely, "I won't go. The dean's grandma said that I was thrown at the gate of the orphanage, and they didn't want me anymore. What should I do with them? I can live a good life alone." The sum of his two lives He was already in his forties, and he would be embarrassed to death if he asked someone he had never met and who might be younger than him to be his parent.And "Xia Qi" was indeed thrown away, and he didn't even have a surname, so he didn't want to make fun of himself.
Anbu patted Xia Qi on the shoulder, "If you don't look for it, you won't look for it. I will be your good friend from now on."
"Hehe, I'm your friend too." Xia Qi lightly punched Anbu on the shoulder.When his hand touched the opponent's body, Xia Qi became curious again. Ambu's muscles felt very strong!
"Anbu, are you only a foundry because of family reasons?"
Anbu nodded, "Well, I have liked casting since I was a child. I don't have much talent in soul warriors, so it's better to do what I am interested in and like." As he said, Anbu tensed the muscles of his left arm, "I am interested in soul warriors. The main purpose of exercising is to enhance one's own physical strength. A casting master must have a strong physique."
As mentioned above, the strength and weakness between humans and spirit beasts will affect each other.Even if you don't have the talent to be a soul warrior, strengthening your soul beast ability can also exercise your physique.
Xia Qi agreed with this point, saying: "Well, my physical fitness is not good, and I plan to strengthen my physical exercise after school starts."
Ambu laughed and said, "You really should exercise, I think I can lift you up with one hand."
Xia Qi rolled his eyes at Anbu, "Try it."
Amber wiped his nose and grinned.
"Hey, what is your soul beast?" Xia Qi continued to be curious.
Anbu replied generously: "It's a leopard, with water attributes, but it's very weak."
"That's better than me." Xia Qi sighed, "Mine is a white Mimi."
"Bai Mimi?" What?
"Just a white cat. A chubby white cat."
"..." The smile on Anbu's face froze a little, and after a long time, he choked out a comforting word: "That should be cute." He couldn't imagine what a chubby would look like, after all, soul beasts are not real of.
Xia Qi rolled his eyes at Anbu again, thinking: Are you sure this is comforting and not adding salt to my wound?
■
The same is true for Ambu. Two teenagers of the same age walked together, and the road was not so difficult.Ambu also shared his box with Shaggy.Xia Qi is really grateful to Anbu. The other party did not dislike him because of his poverty and orphan status, but took care of him along the way.Anbu will take care of Xia Qi for the jerky and rice bought on the airship, which makes Xia Qi feel embarrassed.
Ambu said: "Please don't deprive me of the opportunity to please a future great pharmacist, I am planning for my future."
"..." Xia Qi took the plate from Anbu's hand, "Then you have to pray that you are not ingratiating yourself. Maybe I will be an apprentice all my life."
Ambu took his own plate to eat and shrugged, "It's always good to have a friend who is a pharmacist. Casting requires a lot of materials, and many materials need to be found by the foundry. Remember to prepare more invisibility potions for me in the future. Escape Potion, Quick Recovery Potion!"
Xia Qi almost spat out a mouthful of rice.After wiping the sprayed rice grains, he said, "Then just wait." These medicines can only be made by senior pharmacists at the worst!Ambu flattered him too much.
"Hehe." Anbu smiled and ate.Of course he is not good to Xia Qi because the other party is a pharmacist, he just wants to do this simply, Xia Qi is a worthy friend.
Satisfied and sitting on the bed, Xia Qi's curiosity came again: "Anbu, what can you do at this stage?"
As soon as he talked about his art skills, Anbu immediately became more serious, saying: "The apprentice is still in the learning stage, and the weapons he made are not yet ranked up."
It is easy to make weapons, but it is difficult to make weapons for soul warriors. This is also the origin of the profession of foundry.
Anbu took out a dagger from the space ring, and Xia Qi approached it.
The top of the handle of the dagger is a faint purple stone, and the center below the handle is also a stone of the same color.There are three serrated teeth on both sides of the dagger body and the handle, and the whole dagger body exudes a simple lavender luster, which is not the kind of light that can illuminate a human face.
Anbu explained: "This dagger can slightly enhance the power of thunder-attribute soul warriors, and is suitable for those who have just awakened the power of soul beasts."
"What about the soul beasts?"
Knowing that Xia Qi doesn't have a deep understanding of soul warriors and soul beasts, Anbu explained: "It must have weapons that can affect soul beasts. Such weapons are very rare, and I have never seen them. At least they must be advanced. It is only possible for a foundry to cast it."
Xia Qi nodded slowly, "Well, I thought that the effect of weapons can affect both soul warriors and soul beasts at the same time. It turns out that special weapons are needed."
"Good weapons are very rare. Even a master-level foundry may only be able to cast one highest-level weapon or a set of highest-level armor in his lifetime. The highest-level weapons I know so far are ten Level [-], armor is also level [-]. Although level [-] is the highest level that a master can make, level [-] is the closest to the god level, so basically there is no such thing.”
"Understood. Anyway, if a soul warrior wants to become very powerful, first of all, he and his soul beast must be powerful, and secondly, he must have powerful weapons and armor." In short, when playing games, players need various occupations and The equipment that matches the talent.Thinking of this, Xia Qi understood.
Anbu said: "The armor is heavy, and only powerful soul warriors will wear armor. Most soul warriors only use weapons, and some defensive soul warriors also use shields."
"Then do you specialize in weapons or do everything?"
Anbu put away the dagger, "Apprentices should choose what they are good at to improve their abilities. Usually, they will not start to formally learn the casting of weapons, armor and other soul warrior equipment until they reach the elementary level."
"Oh... that's similar to a pharmacy apprentice. I only know how to configure a few pharmacies now, which is very low-level." Xia Qi nodded, and after thinking for a long time while rubbing his chin, he asked: "Then you are a weapon maker?" Will you draw the blueprints first?"
"of course."
"Then..." Xia Qi rolled his eyes and coughed twice, "Actually, I like drawing very much. If you don't mind, I can help you design weapons."
Ambu exclaimed: "You know how to design weapons?!" Only those who learn casting can do this!
Xia Qi coughed twice again and said, "I just have an idea, and I will never make it."
"That's already amazing!" Anbu grabbed Xia Qi, "Do you have a drawing?!"
Xia Qi moved his fingers, "I don't have a drawing, but I can draw it for you now."
"I want!"
"..." Why are these two words so ambiguous?
Although it is impossible to live by painting in this life, Xia Qi has never given up painting. This is the instinct and nature that has been carved into his bones.He will save money to buy drawing paper and monochrome brushes to practice basic skills such as sketching.He didn't have the money to buy colorful brushes, and he didn't dare to let others discover that he could draw "magic" paintings. He also burned all the drawing paper for practicing basic skills before leaving, mainly because he had no place to store them.He couldn't lose his instinct, let alone his 23 years of memory.
And Xia Qi, who has drawn countless fantasy and fantasy story illustrations, is very familiar with weapons and armor.Since this skill cannot be sold for money, it is better to help friends in need.
Anbu took a brand new painting book from the ring to Xia Qi, as well as a whole set of paintbrushes.Xia Qi asked Anbu for his own design drawings, first to understand Anbu's current level, and what kind of profession a foundry is.Anbu's design drawings are very simple, and the style is relatively simple. Anbu is still an apprentice, so he can't draw complicated ones.If it is a master-level foundry, their design drawings will be very shocking.In this regard, Xia Qi expressed his understanding.However, the design of Ambu is really too simple, and this is a weapon for newbies at most in the game.
Well, this is not a game and there are no players.Before starting to paint, Xia Qi said: "What I draw may not be able to be done."
"It's okay, maybe not now, but definitely in the future! Even if it's never possible, it's enough to see the new design."
Xia Qi didn't quite understand the foundry's psychology, but it didn't hinder his plan. "Do you want a dagger or a sword, knife, axe, or spear?"
Anbu pursed his lips and shyly said, "If possible, can you draw me a copy of them all? When my ability improves, I will also forge other weapons."
Greedy guy.Xia Qi smiled, "Then let me draw a sword for you first."
"Okay!" Ambu looked forward to it.Can a person who doesn't learn casting really draw blueprints?
The foundry's brushes are color-coded, which is great.Xia Qi holds the drawing book in one hand and writes in the other.Seeing that he was about to start, Ambu suppressed his curiosity and kept quiet.After the first stroke, Xia Qi's expression became extraordinarily serious, and his whole body seemed to have entered the drawing paper. He also longed for this day for a long time, and every cell was clamoring to really draw a picture.Anbu sat beside him quietly, and saw that Xia Qi's hand seemed to have magic power. With a few strokes, the outline of a sword came out, and Anbu almost held his breath.
What Xia Qi chose was a sword called "Frostmourne", which is the saber of a big boss in a popular game.Xia Qi held four paintbrushes in one hand at the same time.This is a big silver sword with faint blue light. There are no extra gemstones on the hilt. Between the hilt and the sword body is a skeleton sheep's head full of evil spirits. There is a line of blue light shining on the sword body. magic text.The original Frostmourne was an evil sword, and the sword bearer would fall with the sword. Shaki changed the content of the magic text. The skull sheep head was replaced with a black western dragon head, and the horns became two. The side parted dragon horns.
Xia Qi, who was immersed in the sword, didn't see Anbu's blushing face, he was holding his breath.Anbu only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat following Xia Qi's pen.He had never seen such a beautiful and shocking sword!Even the swords made by those master-level foundries are definitely not as good as this one!Although this sword is still just a sword on drawing paper, Anbu can already predict what kind of madness it will cause if this sword can really be made.
Xia Qi seems to have become the maker of the "Dragon's Breath of Frost".Yes, "Dragon's Breath of Frost", there is no dark power that will deprive the will, no sadness that will bring doom and tragedy, this is a strong sword with the power of a dragon, which can summon the world of snow and ice !
For a whole afternoon, Xia Qi's soul was integrated into the sword on the drawing paper.In the heavy snow all over the sky, a pair of blue dragon eyes stared at the front coldly; the magic words were looming, and the powerful magic breath spit out from the dragon's mouth, surrounding the sword body in circles, as if it would be attacked by it if it got close freeze.And with the ground touched by the sword point as the center, the ice spread.
The snow fell more and more, and the surrounding mountains turned into icebergs.In the howling cold wind, "Dragon's Breath of Frost" stands quietly on the ice, waiting for the real warrior who can possess it to appear.
The control of soul beasts is very complicated, not just using mental power, so the cultivation of soul warriors is also very complicated.Xia Qi, who can only show his mental strength, can only let this little white cat stay in a daze for 10 minutes.
After the soul beast awakens, the soul pattern will gradually disappear and hide under its own skin, just like Yaheng's wolf.Not Shaggy.After his two cat eyes came out, he never went back.Not only that, but his soul beast Bai Mimi has no sense of attributes after being summoned, it is just a transparent and dull cat.Yaheng's soul pattern is completely black, including the eyes, but Xia Qi's soul pattern has two blue eyes, so Xia Qi has been holding on to the content about the power of the soul beast and the soul pattern described in the book. The skeptical attitude obviously doesn't match his.
As an illustrator who has drawn countless cats, now facing such a pair of scary cat eyes, Xia Qi looks darker and darker.If the one awakened is a tiger, he will work hard in the direction of the soul warrior.But what can a cat do?Catch mice and ward off evil spirits?It has to be a black cat to ward off evil spirits!Xia Qi resolutely gave up the path of soul warrior and concentrated on studying his pharmacy.But those cat eyes couldn't get out of his head, because he was startled every time he took a shower.
After thinking about it, Xia Qi, who completely gave up on the soul warrior, did not have any hope for his transparent little white cat.He concocted a white dyeing potion, and then used a pharmacist's needle pen to tattoo himself a cute cat's head on the basis of the cat's eye.For soul illustrators, painting on skin is similar to painting on paper, the only difference is the pain!While getting the tattoo, Shaki couldn't help but slip into another world.It wasn't until he woke up covered in sweat that he realized that he was out of strength, and only half of the cat's head was tattooed.
However, this act of not scaring him for the sake of beauty, made Xia Qi discover an amazing thing.It was originally a transparent little white cat, but after he got half of the cat's head tattooed, it was summoned again and turned into a fat big white cat!And it's alive!Can touch it!Not the original translucent cat that felt like it could be poked with a finger!It's just that the white cat is still very dull, and still doesn't have any attribute abilities.
In this world, the attacks of soul beasts are similar to the magic attacks in the magical world that Xia Qi is familiar with. They are divided into metal, plant, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, and wind attributes.The attributes and abilities of the soul beast will also affect the character of the soul warrior.
Yaheng's wolf is earth attribute.Yaheng's temper is simple and straightforward, with the tenacity of the earth, but he is not a good old man without principles. After all, the attributes of soul beasts only have some influence on the master, not the character of the master.
Back to Shaggy.After discovering that the cat has changed, Xia Qi has been trembling for a whole month, for fear that someone will discover his "secret".If tattoos can change soul beasts, that would be simply too terrifying!Even if he came here through time travel, he also knows that no one here would do this!Otherwise, the textbook would not indicate that the integrity of the soul pattern is related to the level of soul power.The reason why commoners have low abilities is that the soul beasts are not strong enough, and the other reason is that their soul patterns are very incomplete, so it is difficult to appear soul warriors, and high-level soul warriors are even more extravagant.And if the incompleteness of the soul pattern can be made up through tattoos, then these will not be a problem long ago, so no one in this world can complete the soul pattern, no!
Thinking that he might be the first person to eat crabs, Xia Qi is glad that he has never shown the original white Mimi in front of others.When Bai Mimi was summoned for the first time, Xia Qi was worried that the soul beast would not look good, so he secretly summoned it by himself; later, he didn’t want to make people laugh, so he was too embarrassed to call it out in front of others; later, Bai Mimi changed, and Xia Qi was afraid of death , and let no one see it.Only Yaheng saw it once, and Xia Qi only showed him once after he asked for it several times.
Afterwards, Xia Qi completed the other half of the cat's head. As a result, Bai Mimi gained a lot of weight and could move!Afterwards, Xia Qi re-prepared a tattoo potion, which was the best potion he could make at this stage of ability, adding the effects of speed and refreshing.As a cat, you need to be quick and agile, but Bai Mimi is too dull, so you need to be smarter.Xia Qi, who was broken and broken, didn't care if he could do it or not, so he used the newly prepared potion to get the tattoo again. He had already decided not to call out Bai Mimi unless necessary.
This time Xia Qi still had a cat head tattoo, and he was going to experiment.The tattoo potion dispensed this time was brown, but the white Mimi summoned was still "white" Mimi, and did not turn into brown Mimi.But this time, Bai Mimi grew bigger again, the new potion on the tattoo actually swallowed the white potion on the first tattoo, so there is no need to worry about the tattoo getting lost.This time he still only got half of the cat's head tattooed. As soon as he recovered from the cat's head, Xia Qi fainted directly. His mental strength was seriously overdrawn, and his physical fitness was too poor. This overdraft directly affected his body. It took a month of recuperation to recover.
Mental power can be recovered, improved, and cultivated through meditation, but physical fitness must be hammered and chained by the power of the soul beast in addition to exercise.But the power of hammering and chaining soul beasts needs to absorb natural spirit crystals or soul crystals of strange beasts. Xia Qi has no conditions to get these things. He has only seen first-level spirit crystals and soul crystals, and it was Yaheng who got them. Yes, he was embarrassed to ask for it.Besides, higher-level potions require higher-level materials, which are all money.So no matter how you look at it, Xia Qi must try his best to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Tramingo. He needs to learn more advanced knowledge of potions to develop more advanced tattoo potions, and he has to use more advanced potions in exchange for renown tattoos. You can spend more money to buy spirit crystals and soul crystals to enhance your physical fitness.Without the blessing of his family, he can only rely on himself.
Xia Qi didn't intend to reveal the secret that he was going to develop a tattoo potion, but he wanted to use the best potion to complete Bai Mimi.He wanted to know if Bai Mimi would turn into a white tiger when he tattooed Bai Mimi's whole body; he also wanted to study whether tattooing other patterns on his body would affect the spirit beast's ability.It's just that this kind of tattoo requires strong mental and physical support, and also needs more research on the soul tattoo, so he must take his time, there is no rush.
Xia Qi didn't intend to complete Yaheng's wolf, his mental and physical strength couldn't support it, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.The wolf's head on Yaheng's left shoulder is only two-thirds, and one eye is missing.Yaheng's wolf is earth attribute, with high defense and good attack power.Xia Qi focused on strength-enhancing and defensive potions, added auxiliary potions that enhanced soil attributes, and formulated a suitable tattoo potion according to a certain ratio——Xia Qi found that potions can be used as tattoo potions after research, so he dared to do this. what to do.
Using a stylus to dip in the potion, Xia Qi carefully pierced Yaheng's left shoulder. Relying on his own memory, he added little by little the missing third of the wolf's head.First drew two strokes on the original soul tattoo, and found that the color of the potion was slowly disappearing under the skin, Xia Qi let go of his hands and feet, otherwise Yaheng woke up and found that he had a third wolf head tattoo on his body, Surely it would have occurred to him that he did it.If the tattoo medicine can disappear, then Yaheng will only show the extra part of the soul tattoo during the battle, and it will be difficult for Yaheng to find out. Even if he finds out later, he will not think that he did it.If Yaheng's wolf head can be complete, then he will definitely reach the star level, and he will be qualified to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Tramingo.Xia Qi is really grateful to this good friend who has been taking care of him.
Although there is only one-third of the wolf's head, it may have something to do with Yaheng's own soul power, so Xia Qi, who just woke up from the soul pattern, was sweating profusely and pale after just mending the wolf's head.As long as he starts tattooing, he will have no way to control his mental power, maybe only mental power can allow him to use the potion on the soul tattoo.From Yaheng, Xia Qi discovered that it seems that the stronger the opponent's soul power is, the higher the mental and physical requirements for tattooing the soul tattoo.Xia Qiwen didn't have such a hard time whitening his own boobs, but it might also have something to do with the level of the potion used.
All of this, Xia Qi is still only in the initial stage of exploration.The potions he used for Yaheng were the best potions he could make. Many of the medicinal materials used to make the potions were found by Yaheng for him, and it was considered a return to Yaheng.
After dressing Yaheng and packing up his things, the tired Xia Qi sat beside Yaheng and meditated, and soon he entered his own meditation world.
When he woke up from meditation, Yaheng was no longer there, and the sky outside the window was bright.Xia Qi rubbed his throbbing forehead and sat up.Tattooing soul tattoos is very mentally exhausting. Xia Qi's mental power is already considered outstanding, but he only painted a third of the wolf's head for Yaheng, and he meditated for a whole night.Xia Qi also knew that his too thin body had hindered him a lot.
There is a note next to the pillow, Xia Qi picked it up and read it
Shaggy, I'm leaving.Thank you for dinner last night.I will train hard, and I will definitely meet you in Tramingo!Take care of yourself!Be sure to write me! (standard letters)
After exhaling, Xia Qi got out of bed with the note.Putting the note into the backpack, he looked around the room where he had lived for two years, Yaheng had cleaned all the tableware on the table.Xia Qi stared blankly at the room for a while, put on his backpack and went out of the room.As a rare good student who can be admitted to Tramingo Imperial College, the dean of the orphanage, the aunt who is in charge of taking care of Xia Qi in the orphanage, Xia Qi's teacher and principal at the school all came to see him off.After boarding the airship that runs every ten days, Xia Qi took one last look at the town where he had lived for 11 years, and waved goodbye to everyone.
■
After sitting on the airship for 20 days, Xia Qi, who was about to vomit, finally arrived in the city of Bellamica.With a one-shoulder backpack, a thin body of only 160 cm, a pale face, and the black hair of a commoner at first glance, Xia Qi who just got off the airship and came out was at a loss.The people who catch the eye are no longer the familiar black, gray, brown and other civilian colors, but there are various bright colors such as red, gold, green and blue.
Bellamica City is considered to be a relatively large main city of the Opa Empire. There are many small nobles here, and there are also branches of big nobles, so people's hair color is much brighter.Correspondingly, those nobles with bright hair will subconsciously stay away from civilians like Xia Qi. The most obvious one is that a noble who passed by Xia Qi just now pushed him aside with a cane and scolded him. I told him that he was blocking the way, and at least two people could walk between that man and Xia Qi.
Xia Qi almost couldn't resist finding a brick to shoot at, but at the moment he was impulsive, reason reminded him.This is not the earth he is familiar with. This is a perverted world with distinct classes that cannot be explained by science.Shaggy was frustrated.Although Saisaila Town is remote, everyone is the same, no one looks down on anyone, and no one discriminates against anyone.But as soon as he arrived in the big city, he was treated as a second-class citizen, thinking that in his previous life, everyone loved him, and flowers bloomed everywhere...
Exhaling, Xia Qi touched his nose in frustration, rubbed his side that hurt from the crutches, looked up and found the airship ticket office.He originally said he wanted to go shopping in Bellamica City, but he dismissed the idea. He didn't want to be chased away with a cane, so he bought a ticket to the capital, and there was an airship to fly to the capital at night.Aristocrats usually choose teleportation formations, and people like Xia Qi who have no money will come to take long-distance airships.
The waiting area is mostly populated by civilians, and you can also see a few people with brighter hair.Nobles also have their downfalls, don't they?But even if you are down and out, you are still a nobleman.The few people with bright hair formed a circle of their own, and there was a clear dividing line between them and the common people.Most of the commoners still stay away. Of course, there are also commoners who will try to curry favor with the nobles—usually such people will get contemptuous and envious looks from other commoners.
Xia Qi didn't think so much, he went to the place where the water was fetched and got a pot of water.The waiting area is a bit like a train waiting room in human society, where hot water and food are provided, hot water is free, and food has to be bought.Xia Qi bought twenty sheets of the cheapest dry biscuits for ten copper coins as his food on the road.There are boxes on the airship and food is also provided, but it costs money, and the food is very expensive.Poor people like Xia Qi can only bring their own dry food and nest in the public rest area on the airship.The airship will stop for resupply midway, and Xia Qi can leave the airship to buy the food he needs, so he only bought [-] cakes, and if he buys too many cakes, it will easily break. This is the disadvantage of not having a storage space.But Xia Qi can only think about such a high-tech thing.
Finding an empty seat, Xia Qi sat down.His legs are a little edema, his body is really not good.After drinking two sips of water, Xia Qi massaged his legs, thinking about Yaheng in his heart—wondering whether there is any expected change in Yaheng's soul beast.Yaheng had finished eating the jerky Pippi rabbit meat that Yaheng gave him, and he didn't plan to eat any more meat before he arrived at school.
"Hello."
Someone around said hello, Xia Qi turned his head, a stranger.
The one who greeted Xia Qi was a boy with brown hair and brown eyes, who was taller and stronger than Xia Qi.However, it is still very difficult to find someone who is weaker than Xia Qi in the same age.Well, the just-turned-shaggy is still underage.However, Xia Qi can only be regarded as a junior high school student now. If he goes to the advanced class step by step, he will have to study at school for at least seven years before he can graduate. This does not include repeating grades due to poor grades.If he can't advance to higher education for three consecutive years, he will have to graduate early, which of course is not a good thing.
There was a friendly smile on the other party's face, and Xia Qi responded with a smile, "Hello."
"My name is Ambu Kewa, and I'm from Babu Town. I heard you said you were going to the capital when you bought the ticket just now, and I am also going to the capital."
Xia Qi was surprised and said: "What a coincidence, my name is Xia Qi." No wonder the other party would take the initiative to greet him.
Kova asked shyly, "Well, are you a freshman recruited by Gramingo this year?"
"Huh?" This person doesn't have mind reading or clairvoyance, does he?
Seeing Xia Qi's expression, the other party knew that he had guessed right, and he said happily: "I am also a freshman recruited by Glamingo this year."
"Wow, you are a soul warrior?" In Xia Qi's opinion, the first choice of people here is the soul warrior.
Unexpectedly, Anbu Kowa shook his head and said, "I'm not a soul warrior, I'm a foundry apprentice. Are you a soul warrior?" Anbu's eyes were suspicious.
Xia Qi laughed twice: "How could I be. I am a pharmacy apprentice. You learned casting?" It seems that this person is also in the elementary class like himself.Beginner class students are all apprentice grade.
No wonder she's so skinny, but she's so pretty.Anbu smiled, "Well, my grandfather and father are both intermediate casting masters, and I have liked casting since I was a child."
"So it's a family business!"
Forge masters are the ones who forge soul warrior equipment, including weapons, armor and shields.Weapons are what every soul warrior needs.Some strength-type soul warriors use armor, shields, etc.However, soul warriors who mainly attack do not usually wear armor and shields. For example, soul warriors with fire attributes will never use bulky armor and shields.
An Bu said: "Then we can walk together."
"Yeah." Xia Qi was also very happy to meet a companion.However, Xia Qi looked at Anbu and asked curiously, "Why did you come to take the airship?" The foundry's family should not be short of money, right?
Anbu replied: "You can see a lot of scenery from the airship. You can also know where you will pass along the way. If you use the teleportation array, you won't have such fun."
"Oh..." What a great sentiment.
Xia Qi laughed and said: "I have no money. Taking the airship can save a lot of money, which can be used for my living expenses after I go to school. I am an orphan."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Anbu immediately felt embarrassed.
Xia Qi waved his hand, "It's nothing, I was an orphan in the first place, and I had no money in the first place."
Looking at the other party's face that didn't force a smile at all and really didn't care, Anbu showed a big smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you here, Xia Qi."
"I'm glad too."
Two teenagers who entered school at the same time gave birth to a pure friendship between teenagers in the waiting room of the airship.Anbu generously took out a pack of jerky from his interspatial ring and asked Xia Qi to eat it.Xia Qi didn't intend to hide that he was a bumpkin, he picked up Anbu's left hand and looked at the space ring curiously.He had only seen the one in the mayor's hand, and he had seen it from a distance. It was the first time he had seen it at such a close distance, and it was very fresh.
Putting down Anbu's hand, Xia Qi unceremoniously ate the jerky and asked, "How much can you put in your ring? Can you put living things?"
Anbu also ate the jerky, and replied: "This ring of mine was given to me by my father when I set off. It only has four cubes, and no living things can be placed in it. No living things can be placed in space props, it's just for storage. tool."
"Oh, that's it, I thought it could pretend to be a living thing." Xia Qi nodded, showing that he was educated.
Xia Qi is very cheerful, without the low self-esteem and sensitivity that civilians often have.After chatting for a while, Anbu fell in love with Xia Qi, a new friend, especially Xia Qi was very beautiful, with those black eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and the only shortcoming was that he was too thin and white.It was the first time Amber met someone who could say with a smile that he was an orphan and that he had no money.Although Anbu is a commoner, his grandfather and father are foundry masters and have a certain reputation. Even some minor nobles treat them with courtesy. It can be said that the Anbu family can be regarded as an upper-class family among commoners.
Xia Qi didn't treat Anbu cautiously or apprehensively.If Anbu gave him jerky, he would eat it; if there was no water in Anbu's kettle, Xia Qi would pour water from his own kettle to Anbu, and he would go get it himself.Anbu felt that Xia Qi was a very special person, but he couldn't explain why.
Two teenagers in similar grades were chatting, and the conversation started.Anbu asked curiously: "Xia Qi, what's your last name?"
Xia Qi almost subconsciously said "My surname is Xia", but he immediately reacted and said: "As long as I can remember, my name is Xia Qi. The grandmother of the orphanage said that when she picked me up, there was a letter in my swaddle." , wrote my name and date of birth on it, and said my name is Xia Qi. Maybe my surname is "Xia"." Maybe the person who gave birth to him didn't want him to check his own life experience, Xia Qi thinks this is the most likely possibility.
The way humans in the Opa Continent named their names is similar to the way Westerners named them in Xia Qi’s previous life, with the first name in front and the last name in the back.
An orphan with no surname but only a first name... Anbu also thought of that possibility, and he suddenly felt that Xia Qi was very pitiful.
Ambu asked: "Then are you going to find your parents?"
Xia Qi shook his head resolutely, "I won't go. The dean's grandma said that I was thrown at the gate of the orphanage, and they didn't want me anymore. What should I do with them? I can live a good life alone." The sum of his two lives He was already in his forties, and he would be embarrassed to death if he asked someone he had never met and who might be younger than him to be his parent.And "Xia Qi" was indeed thrown away, and he didn't even have a surname, so he didn't want to make fun of himself.
Anbu patted Xia Qi on the shoulder, "If you don't look for it, you won't look for it. I will be your good friend from now on."
"Hehe, I'm your friend too." Xia Qi lightly punched Anbu on the shoulder.When his hand touched the opponent's body, Xia Qi became curious again. Ambu's muscles felt very strong!
"Anbu, are you only a foundry because of family reasons?"
Anbu nodded, "Well, I have liked casting since I was a child. I don't have much talent in soul warriors, so it's better to do what I am interested in and like." As he said, Anbu tensed the muscles of his left arm, "I am interested in soul warriors. The main purpose of exercising is to enhance one's own physical strength. A casting master must have a strong physique."
As mentioned above, the strength and weakness between humans and spirit beasts will affect each other.Even if you don't have the talent to be a soul warrior, strengthening your soul beast ability can also exercise your physique.
Xia Qi agreed with this point, saying: "Well, my physical fitness is not good, and I plan to strengthen my physical exercise after school starts."
Ambu laughed and said, "You really should exercise, I think I can lift you up with one hand."
Xia Qi rolled his eyes at Anbu, "Try it."
Amber wiped his nose and grinned.
"Hey, what is your soul beast?" Xia Qi continued to be curious.
Anbu replied generously: "It's a leopard, with water attributes, but it's very weak."
"That's better than me." Xia Qi sighed, "Mine is a white Mimi."
"Bai Mimi?" What?
"Just a white cat. A chubby white cat."
"..." The smile on Anbu's face froze a little, and after a long time, he choked out a comforting word: "That should be cute." He couldn't imagine what a chubby would look like, after all, soul beasts are not real of.
Xia Qi rolled his eyes at Anbu again, thinking: Are you sure this is comforting and not adding salt to my wound?
■
The same is true for Ambu. Two teenagers of the same age walked together, and the road was not so difficult.Ambu also shared his box with Shaggy.Xia Qi is really grateful to Anbu. The other party did not dislike him because of his poverty and orphan status, but took care of him along the way.Anbu will take care of Xia Qi for the jerky and rice bought on the airship, which makes Xia Qi feel embarrassed.
Ambu said: "Please don't deprive me of the opportunity to please a future great pharmacist, I am planning for my future."
"..." Xia Qi took the plate from Anbu's hand, "Then you have to pray that you are not ingratiating yourself. Maybe I will be an apprentice all my life."
Ambu took his own plate to eat and shrugged, "It's always good to have a friend who is a pharmacist. Casting requires a lot of materials, and many materials need to be found by the foundry. Remember to prepare more invisibility potions for me in the future. Escape Potion, Quick Recovery Potion!"
Xia Qi almost spat out a mouthful of rice.After wiping the sprayed rice grains, he said, "Then just wait." These medicines can only be made by senior pharmacists at the worst!Ambu flattered him too much.
"Hehe." Anbu smiled and ate.Of course he is not good to Xia Qi because the other party is a pharmacist, he just wants to do this simply, Xia Qi is a worthy friend.
Satisfied and sitting on the bed, Xia Qi's curiosity came again: "Anbu, what can you do at this stage?"
As soon as he talked about his art skills, Anbu immediately became more serious, saying: "The apprentice is still in the learning stage, and the weapons he made are not yet ranked up."
It is easy to make weapons, but it is difficult to make weapons for soul warriors. This is also the origin of the profession of foundry.
Anbu took out a dagger from the space ring, and Xia Qi approached it.
The top of the handle of the dagger is a faint purple stone, and the center below the handle is also a stone of the same color.There are three serrated teeth on both sides of the dagger body and the handle, and the whole dagger body exudes a simple lavender luster, which is not the kind of light that can illuminate a human face.
Anbu explained: "This dagger can slightly enhance the power of thunder-attribute soul warriors, and is suitable for those who have just awakened the power of soul beasts."
"What about the soul beasts?"
Knowing that Xia Qi doesn't have a deep understanding of soul warriors and soul beasts, Anbu explained: "It must have weapons that can affect soul beasts. Such weapons are very rare, and I have never seen them. At least they must be advanced. It is only possible for a foundry to cast it."
Xia Qi nodded slowly, "Well, I thought that the effect of weapons can affect both soul warriors and soul beasts at the same time. It turns out that special weapons are needed."
"Good weapons are very rare. Even a master-level foundry may only be able to cast one highest-level weapon or a set of highest-level armor in his lifetime. The highest-level weapons I know so far are ten Level [-], armor is also level [-]. Although level [-] is the highest level that a master can make, level [-] is the closest to the god level, so basically there is no such thing.”
"Understood. Anyway, if a soul warrior wants to become very powerful, first of all, he and his soul beast must be powerful, and secondly, he must have powerful weapons and armor." In short, when playing games, players need various occupations and The equipment that matches the talent.Thinking of this, Xia Qi understood.
Anbu said: "The armor is heavy, and only powerful soul warriors will wear armor. Most soul warriors only use weapons, and some defensive soul warriors also use shields."
"Then do you specialize in weapons or do everything?"
Anbu put away the dagger, "Apprentices should choose what they are good at to improve their abilities. Usually, they will not start to formally learn the casting of weapons, armor and other soul warrior equipment until they reach the elementary level."
"Oh... that's similar to a pharmacy apprentice. I only know how to configure a few pharmacies now, which is very low-level." Xia Qi nodded, and after thinking for a long time while rubbing his chin, he asked: "Then you are a weapon maker?" Will you draw the blueprints first?"
"of course."
"Then..." Xia Qi rolled his eyes and coughed twice, "Actually, I like drawing very much. If you don't mind, I can help you design weapons."
Ambu exclaimed: "You know how to design weapons?!" Only those who learn casting can do this!
Xia Qi coughed twice again and said, "I just have an idea, and I will never make it."
"That's already amazing!" Anbu grabbed Xia Qi, "Do you have a drawing?!"
Xia Qi moved his fingers, "I don't have a drawing, but I can draw it for you now."
"I want!"
"..." Why are these two words so ambiguous?
Although it is impossible to live by painting in this life, Xia Qi has never given up painting. This is the instinct and nature that has been carved into his bones.He will save money to buy drawing paper and monochrome brushes to practice basic skills such as sketching.He didn't have the money to buy colorful brushes, and he didn't dare to let others discover that he could draw "magic" paintings. He also burned all the drawing paper for practicing basic skills before leaving, mainly because he had no place to store them.He couldn't lose his instinct, let alone his 23 years of memory.
And Xia Qi, who has drawn countless fantasy and fantasy story illustrations, is very familiar with weapons and armor.Since this skill cannot be sold for money, it is better to help friends in need.
Anbu took a brand new painting book from the ring to Xia Qi, as well as a whole set of paintbrushes.Xia Qi asked Anbu for his own design drawings, first to understand Anbu's current level, and what kind of profession a foundry is.Anbu's design drawings are very simple, and the style is relatively simple. Anbu is still an apprentice, so he can't draw complicated ones.If it is a master-level foundry, their design drawings will be very shocking.In this regard, Xia Qi expressed his understanding.However, the design of Ambu is really too simple, and this is a weapon for newbies at most in the game.
Well, this is not a game and there are no players.Before starting to paint, Xia Qi said: "What I draw may not be able to be done."
"It's okay, maybe not now, but definitely in the future! Even if it's never possible, it's enough to see the new design."
Xia Qi didn't quite understand the foundry's psychology, but it didn't hinder his plan. "Do you want a dagger or a sword, knife, axe, or spear?"
Anbu pursed his lips and shyly said, "If possible, can you draw me a copy of them all? When my ability improves, I will also forge other weapons."
Greedy guy.Xia Qi smiled, "Then let me draw a sword for you first."
"Okay!" Ambu looked forward to it.Can a person who doesn't learn casting really draw blueprints?
The foundry's brushes are color-coded, which is great.Xia Qi holds the drawing book in one hand and writes in the other.Seeing that he was about to start, Ambu suppressed his curiosity and kept quiet.After the first stroke, Xia Qi's expression became extraordinarily serious, and his whole body seemed to have entered the drawing paper. He also longed for this day for a long time, and every cell was clamoring to really draw a picture.Anbu sat beside him quietly, and saw that Xia Qi's hand seemed to have magic power. With a few strokes, the outline of a sword came out, and Anbu almost held his breath.
What Xia Qi chose was a sword called "Frostmourne", which is the saber of a big boss in a popular game.Xia Qi held four paintbrushes in one hand at the same time.This is a big silver sword with faint blue light. There are no extra gemstones on the hilt. Between the hilt and the sword body is a skeleton sheep's head full of evil spirits. There is a line of blue light shining on the sword body. magic text.The original Frostmourne was an evil sword, and the sword bearer would fall with the sword. Shaki changed the content of the magic text. The skull sheep head was replaced with a black western dragon head, and the horns became two. The side parted dragon horns.
Xia Qi, who was immersed in the sword, didn't see Anbu's blushing face, he was holding his breath.Anbu only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat following Xia Qi's pen.He had never seen such a beautiful and shocking sword!Even the swords made by those master-level foundries are definitely not as good as this one!Although this sword is still just a sword on drawing paper, Anbu can already predict what kind of madness it will cause if this sword can really be made.
Xia Qi seems to have become the maker of the "Dragon's Breath of Frost".Yes, "Dragon's Breath of Frost", there is no dark power that will deprive the will, no sadness that will bring doom and tragedy, this is a strong sword with the power of a dragon, which can summon the world of snow and ice !
For a whole afternoon, Xia Qi's soul was integrated into the sword on the drawing paper.In the heavy snow all over the sky, a pair of blue dragon eyes stared at the front coldly; the magic words were looming, and the powerful magic breath spit out from the dragon's mouth, surrounding the sword body in circles, as if it would be attacked by it if it got close freeze.And with the ground touched by the sword point as the center, the ice spread.
The snow fell more and more, and the surrounding mountains turned into icebergs.In the howling cold wind, "Dragon's Breath of Frost" stands quietly on the ice, waiting for the real warrior who can possess it to appear.
