Soul Map·Dragon's Breath
Chapter 3
The airship moved forward at a constant speed, the sun gradually disappeared in the jungle, and night came.The whole room can only hear the sound of writing brushes and Anbu's heartbeat.Anbu was sluggish, he was already trapped in this painting and couldn't extricate himself.The room was completely dark, but it didn't affect Xia Qi's movements at all.
For a sword, Xia Qi drew for a full eight hours.After he wrote the name of the sword in the words here, Xia Qi's mental power was withdrawn from the painting, his body swayed, and he immediately sat cross-legged and entered meditation instantly.In the room, a faint blue light flickered.On the drawing paper, a pair of dark blue dragon eyes exudes icy light, wisps of blue ice breath and bright or dark magic words complement each other, surrounding the entire body of the sword.
"Clap!"
The drawing book fell to the ground, and the statue-like figure beside the bed moved.An Bu stared at the sword tightly, not daring to vent his breath.After a long time, he nervously, tremblingly, excitedly, and fearfully stretched out a hand, and slowly approached the sword.
"hiss!"
An Bu only felt his finger was cold, and he pulled his hand back instantly, blood dripped from his finger, if he reacted a little slower, his finger would be gone!
Ambu's eyes widened to the limit.The whole room seemed to be shrouded in frost, his teeth were trembling, and waves of cold air diffused from the drawing paper, as if the ice and snow in the painting would float out of the drawing paper in an instant.Anbu shuddered and closed the drawing book.The room was completely plunged into darkness, the chill that made Anbu's hair stand on end disappeared, the room returned to its original temperature, and everything returned to normal.Pressing his hands firmly on the drawing book, Anbu's eyes that were about to burst were locked on Xia Qi's body.
Xia Qi was still meditating and did not find any abnormalities.Amber suddenly realizes he's made an amazing friend.When the heartbeat stopped so fast, he took out the lighting crystal from the ring, and the room lit up.He simply didn't have the strength to open the lighting crystal installed in the wall.
With the light, Anbu immediately went to look at his picture book.
"hiss!"
He gasped again.There are obvious blood stains on the cover of the picture book.Anbu looked at the fingers of his right hand, the two cut fingers were still bleeding.
Holding the two injured fingers in his mouth, Anbu looked at the picture book in awe, then turned to Xia Qi.How could such a "terrible" person be an orphan? !Not even a master foundry can draw such a design!Ambu had never heard of anyone who could draw a magical weapon on a piece of paper!
Xia Qi was meditating, and Anbu's head was extremely chaotic.After drinking two large glasses of water and pacing back and forth in the room to calm down for a long time, Anbu boldly opened the drawing book again.When the sword appeared, the threatening cold air emerged again, and the blue light was full of danger.This time Anbu was very fast, and immediately closed the picture book, and the coldness disappeared.
After a long time, Anbu let out a long breath.Picking up the picture book with both hands and holding it tightly in his arms, he sat down beside Xia Qi's bed and guarded Xia Qi.
■
Every time Xia Qi wakes up from meditation after excessive consumption of mental power, Xia Qi can clearly notice that his mental power has improved.It seems that the best way to train mental power is to constantly consume too much mental power, which sounds a bit self-inflicted.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Xia Qi opened his eyes.Mentally, I feel as if I have had a full sleep, but my body is exhausted.Xia Qi thumped his shoulder, knowing that his physical strength was holding him back again.The shoulder-beating hand stopped in mid-air, and Xia Qi saw Anbu who was sitting on the ground with his head tilted, leaning on his bed, who was holding the picture book in his hand.There is a lighting crystal on the ground, but it is bright in the room, and the sunlight outside the window is very good.
Xia Qi glanced at the time, it was already afternoon, and he had meditated for so long?Also, how did Ambu sleep on the ground?There are two beds in the room.Xia Qi's shoulder-beating hand turned in a different direction to push Anbu, "Anbu, wake up."
"Ahh!" Anbu seemed to be having a nightmare, as soon as Xia Qi touched him, he woke up in a panic, his arms fluttered wildly, which startled Xia Qi.
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?" Xia Qi asked with concern.
Anbu stared blankly at Xia Qi, and forgot to react for a moment.Xia Qi waved his hand in front of Anbu, "Anbu, what's wrong with you? Wake up. Do you know who I am?" Ah, I'm so hungry.
"Shaki..."
Fortunately, not stupid.Xia Qi leaned over to help Anbu, but Anbu avoided it.
Xia Qi frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
Anbu came back to his senses at this time, turned his head to look out the window in the bright sky, then turned his head and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xia Qi and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xia Qi was speechless: "It's you who has something to do. Have a nightmare? Why are you sleeping on the floor?" Then, he rubbed his stomach, "I'm just very hungry, I'm hungry."
Ambu murmured, "You have been meditating for two whole days."
"What?!" So long? !
Before Xia Qi could figure it out, Anbu hurriedly lowered his head to look at the drawing book in his arms, and then stuffed the drawing book into Xia Qi's arms, "Look at your drawing!"
"What's wrong with my painting?" Xia Qi was stunned. Could it be that his painting is broken?impossible.
Suspiciously, he dug out the "Dragon's Breath of Frost" that he seemed to have painted for a long time, Xia Qi looked at the painting, looked at An Bu, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You don't like it? Don't you like it? "
Xia Qi's hand was placed on the painting naturally, and there was nothing abnormal in the room.Anbu blinked, a little dazed.
"Anbu, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Xia Qi was really frightened, and waved his hands in front of Anbu, summoning his soul.
Anbu swallowed his throat, paused, and he looked at his right hand.Seeing this, his body visibly shook.Xia Qi also saw it, and hurriedly put the drawing book aside and took Anbu's hand, "Why are you injured?" The middle finger and index finger seemed to be scratched by a sharp knife, and the wound was quite deep.Xia Qi pulled his backpack to find the potion.
Anbu held Xia Qi's hand instead, "I'm fine."
The mutation appeared at this time.Xia Qi shivered, why is it so cold all of a sudden?
Anbu pulled out his hand and pointed to the painting, "Xia Qi, look."
Shaggy turned his head.
"Ah!"
Xia Qi's whole body's hair stood up, and his hair suddenly rose.Next, what Xia Qi saw was the same as what Anbu saw before.The sword emitted a distinct blue light, and the temperature in the room dropped significantly.
"Ah!" Xia Qi rushed over, grabbed the drawing book and closed it, and the room returned to normal.Xia Qi was dumbfounded, "How could this happen!"
Anbu was even more stupid, "You don't know?"
Xia Qi shook his head fiercely, "I don't know. I always draw sketches and practice pens, and sometimes I can draw landscapes. This is the first time I have drawn weapons."
Anbu's eyeballs protruded, and he stretched out his injured finger, "As soon as I get close, I will..."
Xia Qi's eyeballs are also protruding, and a big egg can be stuffed in his mouth.
"how so!"
Although he was a "soul illustrator" in his previous life, he definitely didn't have such a soul effect!At most it seems to be true.
Anbu rushed over to close the drawing book in two steps, made a silent gesture to Xia Qi, and then lowered his voice and said, "Be careful! The room is not soundproof!"
"Oh!" Xia Qi gasped, and shouted: "How could this happen! Anbu! You must keep it a secret for me! Don't tell others that I painted it!" Struck by lightning!No, no, this painting cannot be kept!Xia Qi snatched the painting book, and opened the painting with trembling hands, about to tear it up.
"Xia Qi!" Anbu pressed Xia Qi's hand vigorously.With Xia Qi pressing the painting, the painting did not "appear", otherwise An Bu would have to die.
"Don't tear it!" growled.
"It's me who won't be torn to death!"
"Can't tear it!"
Grabbing Xia Qi's hand with one hand, and flipping through the drawing book quickly with the other, Anbu raised his hand and swore: "I will not tell anyone that this painting was drawn by you unless you agree. Xia Qi, I am your friend , your most loyal friend!"
Xia Qi's teeth were chattering, he grabbed Anbu's clothes and shook violently, "If someone finds out, I'm sure to die! Do you know that!"
"I know I know." Anbu kept gesturing to Xia Qi to whisper, then pulled Xia Qi's hands that were about to strangle him, and said again: "I won't tell anyone, I swear on my soul!"
Swearing with the soul is the heaviest oath.
"This painting cannot be kept!" Xia Qi was determined to tear it up.
An Bu held Xia Qi's hands tightly and said, "Calm down first. Would you like to listen to my opinion first?"
"I really don't want to die!" Xia Qi was very depressed. If he knew it would be like this, he wouldn't be able to draw even if he was killed.
Anbu lowered his voice to a minimum and said, "Don't you have no money? This is money!"
Xia Qi's eyes lit up instantly, and An Bu said: "Even a master-level foundry can't draw such a design. And the weapon you designed is very powerful. Even an ordinary design can sell a lot Money, not to mention your blueprint has such a miraculous effect. I bet that your blueprint will be snatched away by ice and metal spirit warriors!"
Xia Qi licked his dry lips, his eyes brightened, "Really?"
"Of course! Your blueprint is worth at least twenty shellfish coins!"
"Hiss!" Xia Qi's pores all over his body opened, "So many?!"
A shellfish coin is worth 1 gold coins!Twenty shellfish coins are 20 gold coins!That was the most advanced coin of the Opa Empire that Shaki had never seen before!
"Not much less!"
"hiss--!"
For a person who was so poor that he only had ten gold coins and fifty copper coins, twenty shellfish coins... Xia Qi seemed to see a table full of vegetables and fruits.
Anbu let go of Xia Qi, "Are you sure you want to tear it up? It was drawn by you with so much effort, and it's worth at least twenty shellfish coins."
It would be a lie to say that Xia Qi was not moved!He licked his lips, "But it's very dangerous! And even if someone buys it, they'll have to ask a foundry to make it, and I don't know if it can be made."
Anbu reassured: "You can put the design in my space ring first, and after you sell the money, you can buy a large space ring to put your design in, and no one else can see it. You just now I also saw that as long as you hold or close the drawing book, there will be no abnormalities in the drawing. You have this talent, you can’t give up. As for whether you can make it, you can’t make it without the design drawing. With the design drawing There is hope. Not every soul warrior can get a weapon that suits them, and someone will definitely buy it."
Xia Qi frowned, "But this blueprint was given to you by me."
Anbu waved his hand for a while, then his shoulders slumped, and he said in frustration: "I can't make it at my current level. I think it is at least possible for a senior casting master to make it. You give it to me." wasted."
Xia Qi said: "Then do it after you reach the advanced level."
Anbu was silent for a moment, and then smiled deeply. The two brothers put their arms around Xia Qi's shoulders and said, "Go and sell the money first. When my ability is up, you can draw a new one for me."
"But I promised to draw the design for you." Xia Qi was very guilty and moved to meet such a sincere friend.
Anbu chuckled: "Then you can draw me a new one that is not so powerful, so that I can touch it."
Xia Qi stared into Anbu's eyes, and there was no trace of greed for the painting in the other's eyes.Pursing his lips, he smiled, "Okay, I'll draw some sketches of weapons for you."
Anbu's eyes lit up instantly, "Do you have any weapons you want? Although I can only make the lowest weapons, they are enough for you."
Xia Qi shook his head, took Anbu's drawing book, and said, "I don't have anything I particularly like, and I don't know what is suitable for me. My white Mimi is just in a daze. Why don't you give me one if you look at it."
"Okay." Anbu handed the pen to Xia Qi, and warned: "Don't draw so powerfully."
"understood."
Not daring to enter the painting again, Xia Qi controlled his mental power.Just draw a sketch, and the speed is fast. In less than 10 minutes, the sketch of a one-handed sword is completed.But even though it was just a sketch, Ambu almost forgot to breathe again.All Anbu can make now are daggers and swords. Xia Qi drew five sketches, two one-handed swords, one two-handed sword and two daggers, all in less than an hour.
When Xia Qi finished painting, Anbu excitedly took the painting book and couldn't put it down.
"Beautiful...these weapons are beautiful..."
"I'll write down the original attributes and usage methods of these weapons for you, and you will know what materials to choose when you make them."
"thank you so much!"
Anbu hurriedly returned the drawing book to Xia Qi.Xia Qi wrote down the attributes, usage methods, and effects of these five weapons in detail, and then under Ambu's awe-inspiring eyes, he said: "The original attributes of these weapons are like this. Modify your actual situation, don't be restricted."
"Ok, I know."
Xia Qi returned the painting book to Anbu, and gave the new painting book with "Dragon's Breath of Frost" to Anbu for safekeeping.An Bu didn't answer, but said: "Actually, you can draw a picture that is not too good and sell it for money first."
Xia Qi was taken aback: That's right, why didn't he think of that!
Anbu asked: "Does your sword need to be used by a very high-level soul warrior?"
Very high level?Well, that is a special weapon for big bosses in the game.Xia Qi nodded, "That's right. But I don't know if it can be done, and it's hard to say whether it will have this effect."
Anbu said: "I don't care if you can make it or not. You draw a few low-level design drawings and sell them. I guess the money you sell for one design drawing is enough for you to buy a high-level space item."
Advanced space items... Xia Qi didn't want to say that he had coveted this kind of thing for a long time.But... "How do I sell it? As soon as I take it out, people will know that I painted it?"
Anbu patiently explained the confusion for the bumpkin from the small mountain village of Xia Qi: "You can take it to the auction house to sell. The auction house can auction anonymously. When the time comes, you can change into disguise so that others can't recognize you. And the auction house is very reputable, without your consent, they will not easily disclose your information. After the painting is sold, the auction house will transfer the money to your account, and you don't have to go to get the money yourself .”
"Account? Isn't it gold coins?" Xia Qi took out his small bag of money from his trouser waist. He always thought that the money here could only be held in his hands.
Anbu smiled and said: "If you carry a large amount of money with you, firstly it is inconvenient to use, and secondly it is not safe. Even if there are space tools, it is unrealistic to carry so many gold coins. After all, it is still a minority to use shell coins. , so it’s more convenient to store money in an account.” Anbu raised his left hand to show Xia Qi a black metal bracelet he was wearing, “This is my identity ring, and there is my account in it, you can also Connect with me through your identity ring."
Xia Qi smiled awkwardly: "Uh, I haven't, and I haven't seen it. I live in a remote place, a small village, and I haven't even seen a shell coin."
Anbu patted Xia Qi, telling him not to mind, and said: "When you get to the capital, I will take you to do it soon. After registration, the school will give us a special contact device for the school, and we will get it in the school later. Scholarships, points, etc. will be stored in the contact device, which is similar to an identity ring, which is convenient for students to contact and is also one of the students' benefits."
Xia Qi was surprised when he heard it, "How do you know such details?"
An Bu said: "My cousin graduated from Tramingo College, and he told me this. I have also been to the Royal Capital with my father before."
Xia Qi was depressed: "I don't know anything."
Anbu smiled and comforted: "It's okay, you will know later. I will help you when you get to school."
Xia Qi said sincerely: "Anbu, it's great that I can meet you."
Ann Bu said: "It's really good that I met you. I'm so glad that I took the initiative to talk to you at that time."
After finishing speaking, he chuckled with a lucky look on his face, which made Xia Qi smile too.
Anbu went on to say: "Then before you arrive at the school, you can draw a few auction ones. It may be inconvenient when you arrive at the school. I heard that our freshmen share a room with three or four people. They cannot be assigned to the same dormitory."
really.When he arrived at school, Xia Qi would not dare to scribble in the dormitory. If he was found to be absolutely dead, even if he was not dead, he would cause terrible trouble.
"Okay, I'll just draw a few and get ready. But you have to keep them for me first."
"no problem."
Anbu took out all the paintbrushes he brought, and asked casually, "Did you draw anything abnormal before?"
Xia Qi shook his head, "No. I usually practice brushwork. At most I draw landscapes and figures. I haven't drawn weapons specifically. I don't have money to buy professional drawing books and drawing paper."
Anbu pursed his lips and put his arms around Xia Qi's shoulders, "In the future, no matter what difficulties you have, you can come to me, and I will help you."
"Thank you, Ambu."
"We're friends."
The two looked at each other and smiled, this friendship is really fate.
Anbu said again with relief: "Don't be too scared, you just need to be careful. Do you want to consider switching to a foundry?"
Xia Qi shook his head decisively, "No, I don't like it."
Anbu asked in puzzlement: "Why? A casting master is no worse than a pharmacist! And you have this talent, it would be a pity not to learn casting."
Xia Qi curled his lips: "I'm not interested in this kind of rude man's occupation, the pharmacist is so elegant." When he heard the foundry, Xia Qi thought of a blacksmith who was blacksmithing with shirtless arms. Although the two are very different, he is very similar. It's hard not to think that way.In his previous life, he was a painter, definitely not a blacksmith.
Anbu almost lost his breath, "Am I like a rude man? You are too weak!"
"Then I'm even more unsuitable to be a casting master. What I lack most is strength."
"..."
Picking a paintbrush and preparing to paint, ignoring Anbu's depression, Xia Qi muttered alone: "You said that I am a medicine learner, how can I have this ability? I should have a portable space, allowing me to plant land and plant medicines, It’s worthy of my profession.”
Anbu couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Don't be too greedy. I'm already envious of you."
"Anbu, I'm very hungry, I'm starving to death."
Only then remembered that Xia Qi hadn't eaten for two days, so Anbu hurried to buy food.He didn't know that the future relationship between him and Xia Qi had already been fixed at this time.
■
The weapons of soul warriors are mainly swords, daggers and spears, and relatively few knives are used. Some powerful soul warriors will choose heavy weapons such as axes and hammers.Xia Qi thought very simply about the weapon designs to be auctioned. There are too many weapons in the game, so he can just choose a few low-level ones.As a result, when he started to write, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought.
First of all, to draw a weapon with a magical effect like "Frost Dragon's Breath", the referenced weapon must be a weapon with a magical background.The weapon itself does not need to have magical attributes, but the historical background of the existence of the weapon must have magic or magical power; neither can it be found in oriental myths, it must also be in a western magical background or a globally famous game made with a western magical background Appeared weapons.Same goes for armor etc.Only when this condition is met can it have the effect of "Dragon's Breath of Frost", and only then can it be modified on this basis, otherwise it is just drawn.
Secondly, the chosen weapon or armor must also be able to integrate Shaki's spiritual power, otherwise it is also an ordinary design drawing.There are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of weapons and armor types that appear in games and history. If Xia Qi can draw each one with such an effect, God will definitely take his soul away again, and there may be a direct thunderbolt. Chop him down and kill him.Xia Qi had no choice but to find out the weapons in his memory and experiment with them. As long as his spiritual power can be integrated into the weapon or armor he wants to draw, then it is fine; if not, then it is not.
Finally, even if the above two conditions are met, Xia Qi does not mean that he can draw a picture.If the weapon is too advanced, such as the Xuanyuan Sword in ancient legends or the ultimate weapon of a god-level boss in the game, Xia Qi will not be able to draw it, let alone draw it, the pen will not be able to fall, let alone integrate spiritual power into it.Even if he already has a complete pattern in his head, he just can't write, or he will feel dizzy and lose strength after trying to draw two strokes.Xia Qi didn't know whether it was because such a heaven-defying weapon should not be drawn at all, or because of his lack of mental strength.The requirements for armor are slightly lower than for weapons.
God gave Xia Qi a non-ability to draw soul patterns, but unfortunately it was restricted by his mental strength, physical strength and potion making ability.Now, God has given him another magical ability, but it also has many restrictions.But after thinking about it, Xia Qi felt that it should be so, otherwise he might be struck to death by God in the next second, and he would be struck by lightning if he was too high-profile.
It took more than ten days to figure out these requirements, and Xia Qi borrowed the books on foundry brought by Anbu.When painting "Dragon's Breath of Frost", he found that he could make small modifications on the original basis, but he still hasn't figured out the principle of the modification.In order to make the design drawings more in line with the needs of the Opa Continent, Shaki must first understand what the weapons and armor cast by the forgers usually look like, and what methods the forgers use to make weapons have various attributes.At the same time, he also needs to figure out the different requirements for weapons and armor of soul warriors with different attributes.
Fortunately, the "teacher" Ambu is there.Although Anbu's casting ability is only an apprentice, he comes from a casting family, and his knowledge of casting can definitely be Xia Qi's teacher.With him explaining at the side, Xia Qi spent more than ten days reading all the books brought by Anbu with his excellent memory and reading ability at a glance. So far, he has no doubts about how he should draw The blueprints are also more clearly understood.
Anbu felt that it was a waste for Xia Qi not to learn casting.However, although Xia Qi is interested in casting, it is only limited to the design drawings.Although Anbu explained countless times how sacred and respected the profession of a foundry is, Xia Qi was influenced by the memories of his previous life, and he just couldn't get rid of the "rude blacksmith" that popped up in his head from time to time. As a result, he cruelly rejected Anbu's request to change his major again and again.
The airship is getting closer and closer to the capital.In the process of exploring and learning, Xia Qi also thought about what he wanted to paint.After a good meal, Xia Qi meditated for another three hours, then picked up the drawing book and brush, and started to paint.Anbu restrained his breath to the minimum, waiting for another exciting moment to arrive.
Draw, meditate, wake up, eat something, go to the toilet and continue.In the last eight days, Xia Qi didn't say a word to An Bu, and devoted himself to the creation.Combining the knowledge of foundry he had just absorbed, Xia Qi made bold innovations.Just imitating is not a real skill, Xia Qi also wants to know how far he can go on this road and what kind of achievements he can make.When the airship arrived at the capital, Xia Qi, who was in meditation, slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was the third design that had just been completed.
"Xia Qi!" Anbu blushed with excitement.
Xia Qi came back to his senses, and then showed a deep smile to Anbu, "Ah, the painting is finished. How is it?"
"I think it's even better than "Dragon's Breath"!"
Xia Qi blinked, "Impossible? I have control."
Anbu shook his head vigorously, "It's not grades, but attributes, and feelings!"
There was a notice of the arrival of the airship in the room, and Anbu threw all of Xia Qi's things into his space ring, supported Xia Qi and said quickly, "I'll tell you slowly, let's go out first."
"it is good."
Xia Qi got off the bed with the help of Anbu.Meditation can restore his mental strength, but not his physical strength.Xia Qi has been in a tense state for the past few days, and Xia Qi hasn't felt it yet. Now when he relaxes, he feels weak in his hands and feet, and his face is pale.If there's a price to be paid for drawing that magical blueprint, maybe that's the price.
"Can I go? I'll carry you on my back." Anbu felt distressed.
Xia Qi shook his head, "No, just support me. Let's go eat something after getting off the airship. Maybe I'm too hungry and have no strength."
"it is good!"
Anbu carefully helped Xia Qi get off the airship.There is a place to eat at the entrance of the airship management office, and Anbu doesn't care if it's expensive or not, so he took Xia Qi in first to eat, and he also bought two fruits for Xia Qi.
After eating and sitting and resting for more than an hour, Xia Qi regained his strength, but his complexion was still bad, and his cheeks were obviously sunken.Anbu found another hotel nearby and asked for a room. Xia Qi must not be able to report to school now.Anyway, there are still three days before the registration time, so there is still time.
Xia Qi was very moved, Anbu really took care of him, even though he was the same age as him, he was like a big brother.Xia Qi also knew that saying any words of gratitude would seem artificial, so he silently accepted Anbu's kindness.After sleeping for a whole day and night in the hotel, Xia Qi who woke up the next morning finally recovered and became the talkative and laughing person before. worried.
Anbu repeatedly urged: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you." Xia Qi's eyes sparkled, "Let me take a look at those three design drawings." He hasn't looked at them carefully yet.
Anbu took out the drawing book from the ring and asked Xia Qi to turn it over by himself.Of the three design drawings drawn by Xia Qi, two are weapons and one is armor; one of the two weapon design drawings is a dagger and the other is a one-handed sword, and Ambu can't even touch them.
Xia Qi turned over "Dragon's Breath of Frost", and what he entered was a dagger emitting a faint red light. On the lower right corner of the design drawing was written the words "Ecstasy Messenger", and the inscription was the abbreviation "XQ" of Xia Qi's name. It's a memory of myself.The characters in Opa Continent are not letters, and no one knows what "XQ" means.Founders all have their own symbols, and Anbu only thought it was Xia Qi's symbol.
The two weapons and a pair of armor have the original shape in Xia Qi's memory, but the attributes of the weapons are quite different.Xia Qi did not use the pure soul energy array used by the foundry of Oppa Continent to make the weapon have certain attributes, but used the "magic word array" invented by himself, inspired by the "Frost Dragon's Breath" . The magic characters on the "Dragon's Breath of Frost" are in Tibetan. Xia Qi has always believed that Tibetan is a very magical language, and he even studied it.This time, he used Tibetan to engrave the soul energy array, and each Tibetan word combined showed different attributes, so the engraved soul energy array had the effect of dual attributes.
As Anbu said, the weapons and armor levels on these three design drawings are not as good as "Frost Dragon's Breath", but both the attributes and the purity of power are higher than "Frost Dragon's Breath".After carefully looking at the three new design drawings he had drawn, Xia Qi suddenly wanted to tear up the design drawing of "Dragon's Breath of Frost" and draw it again.
"Shaki, what do these symbols mean?" Ambu couldn't touch the two weapon blueprints, but he could touch the armor blueprint.He touched the Tibetan characters on the armor and asked.
Xia Qi replied: "This is a symbol I thought of, and its function is to strengthen the effect of the soul energy array."
"You are amazing..." Anbu's eyes were full of admiration, "You should learn to be a foundry master!"
"No. I'm not interested in rough blacksmiths."
"...a foundry is not a blacksmith!" Anbu's protest was again ignored by Xia Qi.
After closing the drawing book and asking Anbu to put it away, Xia Qi said, "Let's go to school, I'm fine."
Anbu said discouragedly: "Then help you apply for the identity ring first, and then we will report to the school." He didn't understand why Xia Qi always likes to associate the foundry with the blacksmith, these two are obviously different professions!
"...Okay." Thinking of asking Anbu to spend money again, Xia Qi hesitated, but agreed.He will deeply remember Anbu's friendship with him, and he will definitely repay Anbu in the future.
After leaving the room, Anbu took Xia Qi to the Identity Management Institute.At this time, Xia Qi had the energy to take a good look at the largest and most prosperous capital of the Opa Empire.There are many shops along the road, and there are more people with bright colored hair on the road. There are also many civilians with darker hair like Xia Qi and Anbu.However, there will still be an invisible but obvious dividing line between commoners and nobles.
Xia Qi, a country boy, followed Anbu closely, and Anbu held Xia Qi's wrist tightly, for fear of losing him.Xia Qi is definitely Anbu's key protection object now.Xia Qi was very careful to avoid those people with bright hair, he didn't want to experience being hit by someone with a cane again.
The two young men, who looked like commoners at first glance, received a lot of disgusting and contemptuous looks, but most of them were from noble ladies, Xia Qi curled his lips from time to time.For more than 20 years in his previous life, he lived in a society where everyone was equal on the surface, and in the past 11 years, he was surrounded by people like himself, at least casually, but after going out, he became a little boy who was spurned by others. There are ants, Xia Qi really wants to release Bai Mimi to bite people... well, Bai Mimi will only be bitten.
Xia Qi's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, and the Identity Management Institute is a little far away. After walking out of this street, Ambu called a carriage.There are no cars here, only horse-drawn carriages and energy crystal carts.A horse-drawn carriage is a horse-drawn carriage, and a Nengjing carriage is powered by spirit crystals or soul crystals, and the fare is very expensive.An Bu originally wanted to take the Nengjing carriage, but Xia Qi refused desperately, so he called a carriage.Ambu is absolutely willing to spend money for Xia Qi.
It took an hour for the carriage to arrive at the Identity Management Institute.An Bu paid ten gold coins for Xia Qi, and Xia Qi handed over the crystal card representing his identity to the handler, who entered his identity into the identity ring and opened a personal account for him.Half an hour later, Xia Qi was wearing his own silver identity ring, feeling very heartbroken.Originally, Anbu wanted to give Xia Qi an identity ring, but Xia Qi resolutely refused, and said that if Anbu didn't let him pay back the money, he would not do it, so Anbu had to accept it.
"Ten gold coins... My annual living expenses in Saisera are only two gold coins!"
Ambra led Xia Qi to find the carriage, and said: "If it's just for daily necessities, ten gold coins can take a long time, but if you want to buy medicine and plants in the future, ten gold coins is too little, so you need to earn money. "
Because the identity ring also has the function of communication, it is relatively expensive.
"Sure enough, a penny crushed a good man to death."
"what?"
"It means that no matter how powerful a soul warrior is, he will be very poor if he has no money."
Anbu immediately said seriously: "That's impossible. High-level soul warriors are very rich." Then he added: "But they spend more money. The highest level of spirit crystals is only five. To get Energy spars above level five must hunt high-level alien beasts. The higher-level alien beast soul crystals are more expensive, and soul warriors need a lot of money to cultivate upwards. And they also need to buy weapons and potions, so Many soul warriors will go to work as mercenaries to earn money. However, some things cannot be bought with money, and very high-end things are usually exchanged for things of equivalent value, which cannot be bought with shell crystal coins."
"Don't talk about soul warriors, I'm about to be crushed to death now." Xia Qi touched the waistband of his trousers where he hid money. He originally planned to use these ten gold coins to buy medicine plants, brushes and sketchbooks, etc. He also planned to read See if I can buy a space ring or something, but now... it really is wishful thinking.
"Anbu, let's find out where the auction house is after we report and have dinner."
"it is good."
■
The two still went to school by carriage.Holding the admission notice, Anbu and Xia Qi were taken to the registration office by the seniors who were in charge of receiving freshmen.The seniors who received them were also civilians.At the place of registration, there are already
For a sword, Xia Qi drew for a full eight hours.After he wrote the name of the sword in the words here, Xia Qi's mental power was withdrawn from the painting, his body swayed, and he immediately sat cross-legged and entered meditation instantly.In the room, a faint blue light flickered.On the drawing paper, a pair of dark blue dragon eyes exudes icy light, wisps of blue ice breath and bright or dark magic words complement each other, surrounding the entire body of the sword.
"Clap!"
The drawing book fell to the ground, and the statue-like figure beside the bed moved.An Bu stared at the sword tightly, not daring to vent his breath.After a long time, he nervously, tremblingly, excitedly, and fearfully stretched out a hand, and slowly approached the sword.
"hiss!"
An Bu only felt his finger was cold, and he pulled his hand back instantly, blood dripped from his finger, if he reacted a little slower, his finger would be gone!
Ambu's eyes widened to the limit.The whole room seemed to be shrouded in frost, his teeth were trembling, and waves of cold air diffused from the drawing paper, as if the ice and snow in the painting would float out of the drawing paper in an instant.Anbu shuddered and closed the drawing book.The room was completely plunged into darkness, the chill that made Anbu's hair stand on end disappeared, the room returned to its original temperature, and everything returned to normal.Pressing his hands firmly on the drawing book, Anbu's eyes that were about to burst were locked on Xia Qi's body.
Xia Qi was still meditating and did not find any abnormalities.Amber suddenly realizes he's made an amazing friend.When the heartbeat stopped so fast, he took out the lighting crystal from the ring, and the room lit up.He simply didn't have the strength to open the lighting crystal installed in the wall.
With the light, Anbu immediately went to look at his picture book.
"hiss!"
He gasped again.There are obvious blood stains on the cover of the picture book.Anbu looked at the fingers of his right hand, the two cut fingers were still bleeding.
Holding the two injured fingers in his mouth, Anbu looked at the picture book in awe, then turned to Xia Qi.How could such a "terrible" person be an orphan? !Not even a master foundry can draw such a design!Ambu had never heard of anyone who could draw a magical weapon on a piece of paper!
Xia Qi was meditating, and Anbu's head was extremely chaotic.After drinking two large glasses of water and pacing back and forth in the room to calm down for a long time, Anbu boldly opened the drawing book again.When the sword appeared, the threatening cold air emerged again, and the blue light was full of danger.This time Anbu was very fast, and immediately closed the picture book, and the coldness disappeared.
After a long time, Anbu let out a long breath.Picking up the picture book with both hands and holding it tightly in his arms, he sat down beside Xia Qi's bed and guarded Xia Qi.
■
Every time Xia Qi wakes up from meditation after excessive consumption of mental power, Xia Qi can clearly notice that his mental power has improved.It seems that the best way to train mental power is to constantly consume too much mental power, which sounds a bit self-inflicted.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Xia Qi opened his eyes.Mentally, I feel as if I have had a full sleep, but my body is exhausted.Xia Qi thumped his shoulder, knowing that his physical strength was holding him back again.The shoulder-beating hand stopped in mid-air, and Xia Qi saw Anbu who was sitting on the ground with his head tilted, leaning on his bed, who was holding the picture book in his hand.There is a lighting crystal on the ground, but it is bright in the room, and the sunlight outside the window is very good.
Xia Qi glanced at the time, it was already afternoon, and he had meditated for so long?Also, how did Ambu sleep on the ground?There are two beds in the room.Xia Qi's shoulder-beating hand turned in a different direction to push Anbu, "Anbu, wake up."
"Ahh!" Anbu seemed to be having a nightmare, as soon as Xia Qi touched him, he woke up in a panic, his arms fluttered wildly, which startled Xia Qi.
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?" Xia Qi asked with concern.
Anbu stared blankly at Xia Qi, and forgot to react for a moment.Xia Qi waved his hand in front of Anbu, "Anbu, what's wrong with you? Wake up. Do you know who I am?" Ah, I'm so hungry.
"Shaki..."
Fortunately, not stupid.Xia Qi leaned over to help Anbu, but Anbu avoided it.
Xia Qi frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
Anbu came back to his senses at this time, turned his head to look out the window in the bright sky, then turned his head and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xia Qi and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xia Qi was speechless: "It's you who has something to do. Have a nightmare? Why are you sleeping on the floor?" Then, he rubbed his stomach, "I'm just very hungry, I'm hungry."
Ambu murmured, "You have been meditating for two whole days."
"What?!" So long? !
Before Xia Qi could figure it out, Anbu hurriedly lowered his head to look at the drawing book in his arms, and then stuffed the drawing book into Xia Qi's arms, "Look at your drawing!"
"What's wrong with my painting?" Xia Qi was stunned. Could it be that his painting is broken?impossible.
Suspiciously, he dug out the "Dragon's Breath of Frost" that he seemed to have painted for a long time, Xia Qi looked at the painting, looked at An Bu, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You don't like it? Don't you like it? "
Xia Qi's hand was placed on the painting naturally, and there was nothing abnormal in the room.Anbu blinked, a little dazed.
"Anbu, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Xia Qi was really frightened, and waved his hands in front of Anbu, summoning his soul.
Anbu swallowed his throat, paused, and he looked at his right hand.Seeing this, his body visibly shook.Xia Qi also saw it, and hurriedly put the drawing book aside and took Anbu's hand, "Why are you injured?" The middle finger and index finger seemed to be scratched by a sharp knife, and the wound was quite deep.Xia Qi pulled his backpack to find the potion.
Anbu held Xia Qi's hand instead, "I'm fine."
The mutation appeared at this time.Xia Qi shivered, why is it so cold all of a sudden?
Anbu pulled out his hand and pointed to the painting, "Xia Qi, look."
Shaggy turned his head.
"Ah!"
Xia Qi's whole body's hair stood up, and his hair suddenly rose.Next, what Xia Qi saw was the same as what Anbu saw before.The sword emitted a distinct blue light, and the temperature in the room dropped significantly.
"Ah!" Xia Qi rushed over, grabbed the drawing book and closed it, and the room returned to normal.Xia Qi was dumbfounded, "How could this happen!"
Anbu was even more stupid, "You don't know?"
Xia Qi shook his head fiercely, "I don't know. I always draw sketches and practice pens, and sometimes I can draw landscapes. This is the first time I have drawn weapons."
Anbu's eyeballs protruded, and he stretched out his injured finger, "As soon as I get close, I will..."
Xia Qi's eyeballs are also protruding, and a big egg can be stuffed in his mouth.
"how so!"
Although he was a "soul illustrator" in his previous life, he definitely didn't have such a soul effect!At most it seems to be true.
Anbu rushed over to close the drawing book in two steps, made a silent gesture to Xia Qi, and then lowered his voice and said, "Be careful! The room is not soundproof!"
"Oh!" Xia Qi gasped, and shouted: "How could this happen! Anbu! You must keep it a secret for me! Don't tell others that I painted it!" Struck by lightning!No, no, this painting cannot be kept!Xia Qi snatched the painting book, and opened the painting with trembling hands, about to tear it up.
"Xia Qi!" Anbu pressed Xia Qi's hand vigorously.With Xia Qi pressing the painting, the painting did not "appear", otherwise An Bu would have to die.
"Don't tear it!" growled.
"It's me who won't be torn to death!"
"Can't tear it!"
Grabbing Xia Qi's hand with one hand, and flipping through the drawing book quickly with the other, Anbu raised his hand and swore: "I will not tell anyone that this painting was drawn by you unless you agree. Xia Qi, I am your friend , your most loyal friend!"
Xia Qi's teeth were chattering, he grabbed Anbu's clothes and shook violently, "If someone finds out, I'm sure to die! Do you know that!"
"I know I know." Anbu kept gesturing to Xia Qi to whisper, then pulled Xia Qi's hands that were about to strangle him, and said again: "I won't tell anyone, I swear on my soul!"
Swearing with the soul is the heaviest oath.
"This painting cannot be kept!" Xia Qi was determined to tear it up.
An Bu held Xia Qi's hands tightly and said, "Calm down first. Would you like to listen to my opinion first?"
"I really don't want to die!" Xia Qi was very depressed. If he knew it would be like this, he wouldn't be able to draw even if he was killed.
Anbu lowered his voice to a minimum and said, "Don't you have no money? This is money!"
Xia Qi's eyes lit up instantly, and An Bu said: "Even a master-level foundry can't draw such a design. And the weapon you designed is very powerful. Even an ordinary design can sell a lot Money, not to mention your blueprint has such a miraculous effect. I bet that your blueprint will be snatched away by ice and metal spirit warriors!"
Xia Qi licked his dry lips, his eyes brightened, "Really?"
"Of course! Your blueprint is worth at least twenty shellfish coins!"
"Hiss!" Xia Qi's pores all over his body opened, "So many?!"
A shellfish coin is worth 1 gold coins!Twenty shellfish coins are 20 gold coins!That was the most advanced coin of the Opa Empire that Shaki had never seen before!
"Not much less!"
"hiss--!"
For a person who was so poor that he only had ten gold coins and fifty copper coins, twenty shellfish coins... Xia Qi seemed to see a table full of vegetables and fruits.
Anbu let go of Xia Qi, "Are you sure you want to tear it up? It was drawn by you with so much effort, and it's worth at least twenty shellfish coins."
It would be a lie to say that Xia Qi was not moved!He licked his lips, "But it's very dangerous! And even if someone buys it, they'll have to ask a foundry to make it, and I don't know if it can be made."
Anbu reassured: "You can put the design in my space ring first, and after you sell the money, you can buy a large space ring to put your design in, and no one else can see it. You just now I also saw that as long as you hold or close the drawing book, there will be no abnormalities in the drawing. You have this talent, you can’t give up. As for whether you can make it, you can’t make it without the design drawing. With the design drawing There is hope. Not every soul warrior can get a weapon that suits them, and someone will definitely buy it."
Xia Qi frowned, "But this blueprint was given to you by me."
Anbu waved his hand for a while, then his shoulders slumped, and he said in frustration: "I can't make it at my current level. I think it is at least possible for a senior casting master to make it. You give it to me." wasted."
Xia Qi said: "Then do it after you reach the advanced level."
Anbu was silent for a moment, and then smiled deeply. The two brothers put their arms around Xia Qi's shoulders and said, "Go and sell the money first. When my ability is up, you can draw a new one for me."
"But I promised to draw the design for you." Xia Qi was very guilty and moved to meet such a sincere friend.
Anbu chuckled: "Then you can draw me a new one that is not so powerful, so that I can touch it."
Xia Qi stared into Anbu's eyes, and there was no trace of greed for the painting in the other's eyes.Pursing his lips, he smiled, "Okay, I'll draw some sketches of weapons for you."
Anbu's eyes lit up instantly, "Do you have any weapons you want? Although I can only make the lowest weapons, they are enough for you."
Xia Qi shook his head, took Anbu's drawing book, and said, "I don't have anything I particularly like, and I don't know what is suitable for me. My white Mimi is just in a daze. Why don't you give me one if you look at it."
"Okay." Anbu handed the pen to Xia Qi, and warned: "Don't draw so powerfully."
"understood."
Not daring to enter the painting again, Xia Qi controlled his mental power.Just draw a sketch, and the speed is fast. In less than 10 minutes, the sketch of a one-handed sword is completed.But even though it was just a sketch, Ambu almost forgot to breathe again.All Anbu can make now are daggers and swords. Xia Qi drew five sketches, two one-handed swords, one two-handed sword and two daggers, all in less than an hour.
When Xia Qi finished painting, Anbu excitedly took the painting book and couldn't put it down.
"Beautiful...these weapons are beautiful..."
"I'll write down the original attributes and usage methods of these weapons for you, and you will know what materials to choose when you make them."
"thank you so much!"
Anbu hurriedly returned the drawing book to Xia Qi.Xia Qi wrote down the attributes, usage methods, and effects of these five weapons in detail, and then under Ambu's awe-inspiring eyes, he said: "The original attributes of these weapons are like this. Modify your actual situation, don't be restricted."
"Ok, I know."
Xia Qi returned the painting book to Anbu, and gave the new painting book with "Dragon's Breath of Frost" to Anbu for safekeeping.An Bu didn't answer, but said: "Actually, you can draw a picture that is not too good and sell it for money first."
Xia Qi was taken aback: That's right, why didn't he think of that!
Anbu asked: "Does your sword need to be used by a very high-level soul warrior?"
Very high level?Well, that is a special weapon for big bosses in the game.Xia Qi nodded, "That's right. But I don't know if it can be done, and it's hard to say whether it will have this effect."
Anbu said: "I don't care if you can make it or not. You draw a few low-level design drawings and sell them. I guess the money you sell for one design drawing is enough for you to buy a high-level space item."
Advanced space items... Xia Qi didn't want to say that he had coveted this kind of thing for a long time.But... "How do I sell it? As soon as I take it out, people will know that I painted it?"
Anbu patiently explained the confusion for the bumpkin from the small mountain village of Xia Qi: "You can take it to the auction house to sell. The auction house can auction anonymously. When the time comes, you can change into disguise so that others can't recognize you. And the auction house is very reputable, without your consent, they will not easily disclose your information. After the painting is sold, the auction house will transfer the money to your account, and you don't have to go to get the money yourself .”
"Account? Isn't it gold coins?" Xia Qi took out his small bag of money from his trouser waist. He always thought that the money here could only be held in his hands.
Anbu smiled and said: "If you carry a large amount of money with you, firstly it is inconvenient to use, and secondly it is not safe. Even if there are space tools, it is unrealistic to carry so many gold coins. After all, it is still a minority to use shell coins. , so it’s more convenient to store money in an account.” Anbu raised his left hand to show Xia Qi a black metal bracelet he was wearing, “This is my identity ring, and there is my account in it, you can also Connect with me through your identity ring."
Xia Qi smiled awkwardly: "Uh, I haven't, and I haven't seen it. I live in a remote place, a small village, and I haven't even seen a shell coin."
Anbu patted Xia Qi, telling him not to mind, and said: "When you get to the capital, I will take you to do it soon. After registration, the school will give us a special contact device for the school, and we will get it in the school later. Scholarships, points, etc. will be stored in the contact device, which is similar to an identity ring, which is convenient for students to contact and is also one of the students' benefits."
Xia Qi was surprised when he heard it, "How do you know such details?"
An Bu said: "My cousin graduated from Tramingo College, and he told me this. I have also been to the Royal Capital with my father before."
Xia Qi was depressed: "I don't know anything."
Anbu smiled and comforted: "It's okay, you will know later. I will help you when you get to school."
Xia Qi said sincerely: "Anbu, it's great that I can meet you."
Ann Bu said: "It's really good that I met you. I'm so glad that I took the initiative to talk to you at that time."
After finishing speaking, he chuckled with a lucky look on his face, which made Xia Qi smile too.
Anbu went on to say: "Then before you arrive at the school, you can draw a few auction ones. It may be inconvenient when you arrive at the school. I heard that our freshmen share a room with three or four people. They cannot be assigned to the same dormitory."
really.When he arrived at school, Xia Qi would not dare to scribble in the dormitory. If he was found to be absolutely dead, even if he was not dead, he would cause terrible trouble.
"Okay, I'll just draw a few and get ready. But you have to keep them for me first."
"no problem."
Anbu took out all the paintbrushes he brought, and asked casually, "Did you draw anything abnormal before?"
Xia Qi shook his head, "No. I usually practice brushwork. At most I draw landscapes and figures. I haven't drawn weapons specifically. I don't have money to buy professional drawing books and drawing paper."
Anbu pursed his lips and put his arms around Xia Qi's shoulders, "In the future, no matter what difficulties you have, you can come to me, and I will help you."
"Thank you, Ambu."
"We're friends."
The two looked at each other and smiled, this friendship is really fate.
Anbu said again with relief: "Don't be too scared, you just need to be careful. Do you want to consider switching to a foundry?"
Xia Qi shook his head decisively, "No, I don't like it."
Anbu asked in puzzlement: "Why? A casting master is no worse than a pharmacist! And you have this talent, it would be a pity not to learn casting."
Xia Qi curled his lips: "I'm not interested in this kind of rude man's occupation, the pharmacist is so elegant." When he heard the foundry, Xia Qi thought of a blacksmith who was blacksmithing with shirtless arms. Although the two are very different, he is very similar. It's hard not to think that way.In his previous life, he was a painter, definitely not a blacksmith.
Anbu almost lost his breath, "Am I like a rude man? You are too weak!"
"Then I'm even more unsuitable to be a casting master. What I lack most is strength."
"..."
Picking a paintbrush and preparing to paint, ignoring Anbu's depression, Xia Qi muttered alone: "You said that I am a medicine learner, how can I have this ability? I should have a portable space, allowing me to plant land and plant medicines, It’s worthy of my profession.”
Anbu couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Don't be too greedy. I'm already envious of you."
"Anbu, I'm very hungry, I'm starving to death."
Only then remembered that Xia Qi hadn't eaten for two days, so Anbu hurried to buy food.He didn't know that the future relationship between him and Xia Qi had already been fixed at this time.
■
The weapons of soul warriors are mainly swords, daggers and spears, and relatively few knives are used. Some powerful soul warriors will choose heavy weapons such as axes and hammers.Xia Qi thought very simply about the weapon designs to be auctioned. There are too many weapons in the game, so he can just choose a few low-level ones.As a result, when he started to write, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought.
First of all, to draw a weapon with a magical effect like "Frost Dragon's Breath", the referenced weapon must be a weapon with a magical background.The weapon itself does not need to have magical attributes, but the historical background of the existence of the weapon must have magic or magical power; neither can it be found in oriental myths, it must also be in a western magical background or a globally famous game made with a western magical background Appeared weapons.Same goes for armor etc.Only when this condition is met can it have the effect of "Dragon's Breath of Frost", and only then can it be modified on this basis, otherwise it is just drawn.
Secondly, the chosen weapon or armor must also be able to integrate Shaki's spiritual power, otherwise it is also an ordinary design drawing.There are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of weapons and armor types that appear in games and history. If Xia Qi can draw each one with such an effect, God will definitely take his soul away again, and there may be a direct thunderbolt. Chop him down and kill him.Xia Qi had no choice but to find out the weapons in his memory and experiment with them. As long as his spiritual power can be integrated into the weapon or armor he wants to draw, then it is fine; if not, then it is not.
Finally, even if the above two conditions are met, Xia Qi does not mean that he can draw a picture.If the weapon is too advanced, such as the Xuanyuan Sword in ancient legends or the ultimate weapon of a god-level boss in the game, Xia Qi will not be able to draw it, let alone draw it, the pen will not be able to fall, let alone integrate spiritual power into it.Even if he already has a complete pattern in his head, he just can't write, or he will feel dizzy and lose strength after trying to draw two strokes.Xia Qi didn't know whether it was because such a heaven-defying weapon should not be drawn at all, or because of his lack of mental strength.The requirements for armor are slightly lower than for weapons.
God gave Xia Qi a non-ability to draw soul patterns, but unfortunately it was restricted by his mental strength, physical strength and potion making ability.Now, God has given him another magical ability, but it also has many restrictions.But after thinking about it, Xia Qi felt that it should be so, otherwise he might be struck to death by God in the next second, and he would be struck by lightning if he was too high-profile.
It took more than ten days to figure out these requirements, and Xia Qi borrowed the books on foundry brought by Anbu.When painting "Dragon's Breath of Frost", he found that he could make small modifications on the original basis, but he still hasn't figured out the principle of the modification.In order to make the design drawings more in line with the needs of the Opa Continent, Shaki must first understand what the weapons and armor cast by the forgers usually look like, and what methods the forgers use to make weapons have various attributes.At the same time, he also needs to figure out the different requirements for weapons and armor of soul warriors with different attributes.
Fortunately, the "teacher" Ambu is there.Although Anbu's casting ability is only an apprentice, he comes from a casting family, and his knowledge of casting can definitely be Xia Qi's teacher.With him explaining at the side, Xia Qi spent more than ten days reading all the books brought by Anbu with his excellent memory and reading ability at a glance. So far, he has no doubts about how he should draw The blueprints are also more clearly understood.
Anbu felt that it was a waste for Xia Qi not to learn casting.However, although Xia Qi is interested in casting, it is only limited to the design drawings.Although Anbu explained countless times how sacred and respected the profession of a foundry is, Xia Qi was influenced by the memories of his previous life, and he just couldn't get rid of the "rude blacksmith" that popped up in his head from time to time. As a result, he cruelly rejected Anbu's request to change his major again and again.
The airship is getting closer and closer to the capital.In the process of exploring and learning, Xia Qi also thought about what he wanted to paint.After a good meal, Xia Qi meditated for another three hours, then picked up the drawing book and brush, and started to paint.Anbu restrained his breath to the minimum, waiting for another exciting moment to arrive.
Draw, meditate, wake up, eat something, go to the toilet and continue.In the last eight days, Xia Qi didn't say a word to An Bu, and devoted himself to the creation.Combining the knowledge of foundry he had just absorbed, Xia Qi made bold innovations.Just imitating is not a real skill, Xia Qi also wants to know how far he can go on this road and what kind of achievements he can make.When the airship arrived at the capital, Xia Qi, who was in meditation, slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was the third design that had just been completed.
"Xia Qi!" Anbu blushed with excitement.
Xia Qi came back to his senses, and then showed a deep smile to Anbu, "Ah, the painting is finished. How is it?"
"I think it's even better than "Dragon's Breath"!"
Xia Qi blinked, "Impossible? I have control."
Anbu shook his head vigorously, "It's not grades, but attributes, and feelings!"
There was a notice of the arrival of the airship in the room, and Anbu threw all of Xia Qi's things into his space ring, supported Xia Qi and said quickly, "I'll tell you slowly, let's go out first."
"it is good."
Xia Qi got off the bed with the help of Anbu.Meditation can restore his mental strength, but not his physical strength.Xia Qi has been in a tense state for the past few days, and Xia Qi hasn't felt it yet. Now when he relaxes, he feels weak in his hands and feet, and his face is pale.If there's a price to be paid for drawing that magical blueprint, maybe that's the price.
"Can I go? I'll carry you on my back." Anbu felt distressed.
Xia Qi shook his head, "No, just support me. Let's go eat something after getting off the airship. Maybe I'm too hungry and have no strength."
"it is good!"
Anbu carefully helped Xia Qi get off the airship.There is a place to eat at the entrance of the airship management office, and Anbu doesn't care if it's expensive or not, so he took Xia Qi in first to eat, and he also bought two fruits for Xia Qi.
After eating and sitting and resting for more than an hour, Xia Qi regained his strength, but his complexion was still bad, and his cheeks were obviously sunken.Anbu found another hotel nearby and asked for a room. Xia Qi must not be able to report to school now.Anyway, there are still three days before the registration time, so there is still time.
Xia Qi was very moved, Anbu really took care of him, even though he was the same age as him, he was like a big brother.Xia Qi also knew that saying any words of gratitude would seem artificial, so he silently accepted Anbu's kindness.After sleeping for a whole day and night in the hotel, Xia Qi who woke up the next morning finally recovered and became the talkative and laughing person before. worried.
Anbu repeatedly urged: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you." Xia Qi's eyes sparkled, "Let me take a look at those three design drawings." He hasn't looked at them carefully yet.
Anbu took out the drawing book from the ring and asked Xia Qi to turn it over by himself.Of the three design drawings drawn by Xia Qi, two are weapons and one is armor; one of the two weapon design drawings is a dagger and the other is a one-handed sword, and Ambu can't even touch them.
Xia Qi turned over "Dragon's Breath of Frost", and what he entered was a dagger emitting a faint red light. On the lower right corner of the design drawing was written the words "Ecstasy Messenger", and the inscription was the abbreviation "XQ" of Xia Qi's name. It's a memory of myself.The characters in Opa Continent are not letters, and no one knows what "XQ" means.Founders all have their own symbols, and Anbu only thought it was Xia Qi's symbol.
The two weapons and a pair of armor have the original shape in Xia Qi's memory, but the attributes of the weapons are quite different.Xia Qi did not use the pure soul energy array used by the foundry of Oppa Continent to make the weapon have certain attributes, but used the "magic word array" invented by himself, inspired by the "Frost Dragon's Breath" . The magic characters on the "Dragon's Breath of Frost" are in Tibetan. Xia Qi has always believed that Tibetan is a very magical language, and he even studied it.This time, he used Tibetan to engrave the soul energy array, and each Tibetan word combined showed different attributes, so the engraved soul energy array had the effect of dual attributes.
As Anbu said, the weapons and armor levels on these three design drawings are not as good as "Frost Dragon's Breath", but both the attributes and the purity of power are higher than "Frost Dragon's Breath".After carefully looking at the three new design drawings he had drawn, Xia Qi suddenly wanted to tear up the design drawing of "Dragon's Breath of Frost" and draw it again.
"Shaki, what do these symbols mean?" Ambu couldn't touch the two weapon blueprints, but he could touch the armor blueprint.He touched the Tibetan characters on the armor and asked.
Xia Qi replied: "This is a symbol I thought of, and its function is to strengthen the effect of the soul energy array."
"You are amazing..." Anbu's eyes were full of admiration, "You should learn to be a foundry master!"
"No. I'm not interested in rough blacksmiths."
"...a foundry is not a blacksmith!" Anbu's protest was again ignored by Xia Qi.
After closing the drawing book and asking Anbu to put it away, Xia Qi said, "Let's go to school, I'm fine."
Anbu said discouragedly: "Then help you apply for the identity ring first, and then we will report to the school." He didn't understand why Xia Qi always likes to associate the foundry with the blacksmith, these two are obviously different professions!
"...Okay." Thinking of asking Anbu to spend money again, Xia Qi hesitated, but agreed.He will deeply remember Anbu's friendship with him, and he will definitely repay Anbu in the future.
After leaving the room, Anbu took Xia Qi to the Identity Management Institute.At this time, Xia Qi had the energy to take a good look at the largest and most prosperous capital of the Opa Empire.There are many shops along the road, and there are more people with bright colored hair on the road. There are also many civilians with darker hair like Xia Qi and Anbu.However, there will still be an invisible but obvious dividing line between commoners and nobles.
Xia Qi, a country boy, followed Anbu closely, and Anbu held Xia Qi's wrist tightly, for fear of losing him.Xia Qi is definitely Anbu's key protection object now.Xia Qi was very careful to avoid those people with bright hair, he didn't want to experience being hit by someone with a cane again.
The two young men, who looked like commoners at first glance, received a lot of disgusting and contemptuous looks, but most of them were from noble ladies, Xia Qi curled his lips from time to time.For more than 20 years in his previous life, he lived in a society where everyone was equal on the surface, and in the past 11 years, he was surrounded by people like himself, at least casually, but after going out, he became a little boy who was spurned by others. There are ants, Xia Qi really wants to release Bai Mimi to bite people... well, Bai Mimi will only be bitten.
Xia Qi's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, and the Identity Management Institute is a little far away. After walking out of this street, Ambu called a carriage.There are no cars here, only horse-drawn carriages and energy crystal carts.A horse-drawn carriage is a horse-drawn carriage, and a Nengjing carriage is powered by spirit crystals or soul crystals, and the fare is very expensive.An Bu originally wanted to take the Nengjing carriage, but Xia Qi refused desperately, so he called a carriage.Ambu is absolutely willing to spend money for Xia Qi.
It took an hour for the carriage to arrive at the Identity Management Institute.An Bu paid ten gold coins for Xia Qi, and Xia Qi handed over the crystal card representing his identity to the handler, who entered his identity into the identity ring and opened a personal account for him.Half an hour later, Xia Qi was wearing his own silver identity ring, feeling very heartbroken.Originally, Anbu wanted to give Xia Qi an identity ring, but Xia Qi resolutely refused, and said that if Anbu didn't let him pay back the money, he would not do it, so Anbu had to accept it.
"Ten gold coins... My annual living expenses in Saisera are only two gold coins!"
Ambra led Xia Qi to find the carriage, and said: "If it's just for daily necessities, ten gold coins can take a long time, but if you want to buy medicine and plants in the future, ten gold coins is too little, so you need to earn money. "
Because the identity ring also has the function of communication, it is relatively expensive.
"Sure enough, a penny crushed a good man to death."
"what?"
"It means that no matter how powerful a soul warrior is, he will be very poor if he has no money."
Anbu immediately said seriously: "That's impossible. High-level soul warriors are very rich." Then he added: "But they spend more money. The highest level of spirit crystals is only five. To get Energy spars above level five must hunt high-level alien beasts. The higher-level alien beast soul crystals are more expensive, and soul warriors need a lot of money to cultivate upwards. And they also need to buy weapons and potions, so Many soul warriors will go to work as mercenaries to earn money. However, some things cannot be bought with money, and very high-end things are usually exchanged for things of equivalent value, which cannot be bought with shell crystal coins."
"Don't talk about soul warriors, I'm about to be crushed to death now." Xia Qi touched the waistband of his trousers where he hid money. He originally planned to use these ten gold coins to buy medicine plants, brushes and sketchbooks, etc. He also planned to read See if I can buy a space ring or something, but now... it really is wishful thinking.
"Anbu, let's find out where the auction house is after we report and have dinner."
"it is good."
■
The two still went to school by carriage.Holding the admission notice, Anbu and Xia Qi were taken to the registration office by the seniors who were in charge of receiving freshmen.The seniors who received them were also civilians.At the place of registration, there are already
