Soul Map·Dragon's Breath

Before the new year was over, Xia Qi went to retreat again.But this time Orcas can't accompany him for the time being, because he has to deal with Monica's affairs, but Xia Qi is not completely alone, the queen will take care of Xia Qi during the time when Orcas can't accompany Xia Qi .

Wen Lian entered the palace and talked with Okas in private for a long time.After the New Year, the conclusion of the Tribunal came out.Monica did commit the crime of endangering members of the royal family. Although Xia Qi has not officially joined the royal family, it is already a public matter as the prospective partner of His Royal Highness Orcas. In [-], her title of nobility was withdrawn, and since then Monica can no longer call herself Monica Tony King, and she will lose her surname.At the same time, the court fined the Tony King family to pay a fine of [-] shellfish coins, which was the punishment for the Tony King family for condoning the crimes committed by their clansmen.

As soon as the trial came out, the four heads of the Oz family, the Bunger family, the Frankia family and the Brelling family all came forward to intercede for Monica for reasons of humanity or other reasons.After listening to His Royal Highness Orcas' opinions, the court decided that Monica's five-year sentence would be suspended for one year. If she did something that endangered the royal family or violated the laws of the empire within one year, she would be imprisoned immediately. And aggravate the penalty.However, because Monica is no longer an aristocrat, Monica will not be able to attend any aristocratic activities held by the royal family in the future.

Although in the end Monica was not in prison for the time being, the entire royal family and even the entire empire were still shocked when the penalty was issued.Monica is a nobleman and a woman, which shows how much she annoys Orcas.Monica is no longer an aristocrat, and all her noble privileges have been deprived. She can never say that she is the eldest lady of the Tony King family. Perhaps for Monica, being deprived of the title of nobility is more painful than going to jail.

As soon as the penalty came out, Lechton sent a message to Okas and left the capital that day.He knew that Okas would show mercy after all.

Lannai, who was extremely affected by this incident, also sent a message to Okas, and then he asked Wen Lian out, and the place where the two met was the dormitory of the college.Wen Lian's first sentence when he saw Lan Nai was: "Don't say anything. What you have to do is to practice hard, surpass your father, and then have the ability to stop your father and your sister when they are restless."

Lannai's first words were: "Can you, let me hug you."

"It's time for you to shave."

Wen Lian shook his head and left.Behind him, Lannai stroked her beard and smiled helplessly.

Xia Qi didn't know all this.In the first stage of the retreat, what he had to do was to study the soul patterns of Kaixin and Belevin.After studying the soul patterns of the two of them thoroughly, he still has the second stage of retreat, which is to supplement the design drawings of the two.

The matter of Monica came to an end, and Orcas replaced his mother and accompanied Xia Qi.

Years later, Nordin and Jinna came back.Notting fought with Belevin and Orcas in a secret place, and then left the capital again to practice.Originally he wanted to say goodbye to Xia Qi, but Xia Qi didn't know when he would leave the test, so Nuoding had to ask Okas to tell Xia Qi for him.This time, Nordin made a promise to Jinna that on his next return, he would propose to his princess.

The New Year's holiday is over, and the matter of Monica has caused a lot of discussion in the college.But before the students recovered from the Monica incident, another major event happened in the academy—Okas submitted a graduation application to the academy, which meant that he was leaving the academy to formally go out for training.Not only that, Okas also attached another person's withdrawal application, which turned out to be Xia Qi's!This student who came to the school for only three months dropped out of school!It's not a suspension, it's a dropout!

Even Lan Lu, Boya, and Anbu were all taken aback. After getting the news, Lan Lu immediately contacted Brother Wang and asked what was going on, why Xia Qi dropped out of school!After getting the reply, Lan Lu, Boya and Anbu felt very complicated.The reason Xia Qi dropped out of school turned out to be to practice with Brother Wang (His Royal Highness).On the one hand, they are disappointed that they will be separated from their good friends for a long time, and on the other hand, they envy the relationship between the two people.

Okas only told Lan Luo that Xia Qi wanted to practice with him, but he did not publicize it in the academy.After removing all his belongings in the dormitory, Orcas really left the academy.When Xia Qi comes out of retreat, and when their engagement is over, they will embark on the road of experience.Okas has expectations for the future experience and life with Xia Qi, looking forward to the thrills along the way, and also looking forward to the common growth of him and Xia Qi.

And before they leave, Okas will continue to be Wen Lian and Lannai's partner training, and strive to reach the top level before he leaves.Lannai originally thought that after so many things happened, Okas would definitely not want to guide him anymore, but unexpectedly, it was Okas who contacted him on the initiative.What Okas said was that he had already promised Lan Nai, and he was going to do it.In this regard, Lannai has mixed feelings in her heart.

Apart from being Wen Lian and Lan Nai's sparring partner, Okas spent the rest of the time accompanying and taking care of Xia Qi.But others got busy—busy about Orcas and Shaggy's engagement.

After retreating for more than two months, Xia Qi was released.The next day, Ambu's grandfather and father retreated.In contrast to Beraven, who exudes a strong smell of excitement from head to toe, Kathin is a little absent-minded, as his mind will be on his new gear.

However, after leaving the customs, Xia Qi did not rest obediently, but nestled in the room and drew a draft again.During this period of retreat, he had new ideas about Orcas' outfits.Bai Mimi, who had grown several times larger, nestled at his feet and fell asleep soundly.Every time Bai Mimi was called out, Bai Mimi would circle around him a few times, and then began to sleep soundly until he disappeared automatically.Xia Qi reluctantly accepts Bai Mimi's uniqueness now, and treats it as a pet white tiger he raises, but he doesn't know when this tiger will become an adult.

But after Bai Mimi got bigger, Xia Qi's appetite became bigger.In the past, Xia Qi didn't understand why he didn't grow any meat because he could eat so much. Now he had to suspect that all the nutrients he ate had been absorbed by Bai Mimi. You can tell by Bai Mimi's body shape!Even able to absorb nutrients, Xia Qi will never be able to treat Bai Mimi as a soul beast anymore, Bai Mimi is completely a big fat cat parasitic on him.Xia Qi trembled and trembled, who can explain to him what is going on?Fortunately, the person next to him was Okas. If it was someone else, he would have been sent to some secret laboratory for research.

On April 5st, on April Fool's Day in Xia Qi's memory, Orcas held a grand engagement banquet for him in the palace.Not only the nobles with the status of the king were all present, but even the famous people in various royal cities and empires all received invitations from the royal family. The three master casters and two master pharmacists were also invited to attend.Many people were surprised by the fact that the royal family attached great importance to Orcas's partner with a commoner boy.Not only that, but the two clan elders of the royal family even made an appearance. Even though their appearance time was less than [-] minutes, it was enough to shock everyone present.

What made everyone even more suspicious of Xia Qi, a commoner boy, was that the four commanders of the demon race even sent their retainers to accompany the four commanders to congratulate them.Xia Qi's engagement banquet can be said to be as high-profile as possible, which made him not only not excited, but looked up from time to time, fearing that God would come to catch him again.

The presence of heavyweight guests added a lot of brilliance to the engagement banquet, and a set of gorgeous jewelry worn by Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Jinna each caught the eyes of the female guests from the former emperor.Her Majesty’s is a set of intricately crafted gold jewellery, inlaid with golden crystals, forming beautiful little flowers; Princess Jinna’s is a set of equally intricately crafted silver jewellery, inlaid with light green crystals. spar.

Leaving aside the beauty of jewelry, Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Jinna actually had a hole in their ear, and both wore beautiful jewelry on their earlobes.Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Jinna are so dazzling and beautiful, and the witch Ling who came from the demons also has a similar set of jewelry.The women were all moved. They gathered around the queen and princess to ask where they bought the jewelry and how to get their ears pierced. They wanted to buy them too.The queen said it was designed by herself after she had nothing to do, and the princess said it was made for her by her mother.

No one dared to ask Ling, but they didn't know that Ling was planning to find an opportunity to capture Xia Qi.Xia Qi took the time to design and made two sets of jewelry sent to her by Anbu, both of which were robbed by her good sisters. Ling's heart is still bleeding, and only Xia Qi can restore the creation of her heart.

Jewelry designed by Her Majesty the Queen herself...how can I buy it?The queen laughed but said nothing.She plans to learn jewelry design from Xia Qi, and opening a jewelry store in the future is also a good choice.

King Fanwei strongly supported the Queen's business. Once the royal family has the strength to compete with the Versailles family, the empire's economy will no longer need to rely on the Versailles family, and there will be no such situation as Ivan was pissed off last time.The king is now ambitious. He not only wants to make the royal family an absolute powerhouse, but also firmly controls the military, politics, and economy, and takes back the power that should belong to the royal family that was divided by the big nobles and big families.

Needless to say, the queen and Jinna's jewelry was definitely Shaggy's idea again.Xia Qi designed jewelry for his good friend, so he must not forget his future mother and sister!He intended to give to the queen and princess what he could instill in the queen and princess before training with Orcas.Maybe ten or ten years later, the distance between this place and the world of his previous life will be a little bit closer.

The engagement banquet took place all day.After that day, Shaggy had a reddish petal-shaped pattern the size of a pinky fingernail on the back of his left ear, which was a proof of his engagement; Orcas also had a similar pattern on the back of his right ear.After they are married, the pattern will turn pale gold.Xia Qi was very surprised, he thought engagement was a set of rings or something, but Okas would choose the most serious way of engagement.

Engagement and marriage represent responsibility and loyalty.Many couples who truly love each other will swear with their souls and blood when they are engaged and married, and the vows will be displayed behind their ears.If a certain party goes out to flirt with such a pattern, it will be cast aside by others, and it will also give people a sense of lack of integrity.So the oath mark is like the loyalty mark of the demons, it is very rigorous and serious.

Such oath imprints mostly appear among civilians, but among nobles who are based on the premise of combining interests, the use of this imprint is very careful.Most nobles usually do not choose to seal when they are engaged or married.The patriarchs of the five great nobles have no imprints, but His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen both have a pale gold imprint behind their ears.

Okas chose to form seals with Xia Qi, and he no longer needs to say more about his thoughts on Xia Qi.Orcas' close relatives such as Belevin and Jinna all understand why he chose to form a seal with Xia Qi.And other people can't understand it.They couldn't figure out why His Royal Highness Okas was so devoted to such a common boy.No matter how special the other party was, he was just a commoner, a boy who could not give birth to offspring.

What is the reason, Okas does not need to explain to outsiders.With this imprint, Xia Qi doesn't have to always worry that he will be reduced to scum by some woman.This is Okas' promise to Xia Qi, he will take his responsibility and treat Xia Qi wholeheartedly.Although, he never said such an oath verbally.

On this day, Shaggy has a new surname - Smoker.King Fan Wei personally announced that he would be given the most noble surname of the royal family, which is a more noble title than the surnames of the five nobles.Shaggy also has his own surname - Shaggy Smoker.When accepting this surname, Xia Qi couldn't help thinking in his head: Is this a combination of Chinese and Western?

That night, Xia Qi didn't sleep all night, and he woke up the next afternoon because Bai Mimi was hungry.Orcas has never asked Xia Qi to show others how Bai Mimi looks when she grows up, and Belevin and the others politely did not let Xia Qi summon Bai Mimi to show them.Bai Mimi can no longer be called a soul beast, Xia Qi thinks this is quite scary, and he is a bit repelled calling Bai Mimi in front of people, except in front of Orcas.

On the third day, a visitor came, and it was Puli.Seeing Puli, Okas knew exactly what he was here for, so he took the initiative to leave the room to Puli and Xia Qi, and he avoided it.

Facing Puli again, Xia Qi was no longer nervous, but was a little cordial like seeing an old friend.Puli's right hand has been wrapped in a bandage since he left last time, and Xia Qi also deliberately chose the kind of clothes with longer sleeves to cover his palm.

The purple mark of loyalty left by Puli is very light, and it is in the palm of the hand, so it is hard to find without looking carefully.Xia Qi didn't want others to find out and question him, so he simply covered it up as much as possible, and seeing Puli's bandaged right hand, Xia Qi also thought that the other party had the same thoughts as him. He gave his allegiance to humans, and he was sure to be laughed at.

Glancing at Puli's right hand, Xia Qi asked, "Well, your family doesn't blame you, does it?"

"I'm in charge of my own affairs."

"Oh."

Puli didn't say that he didn't show anyone the mark on his palm, not because he was afraid of being laughed at, but because of other reasons.Puli is a person who is less talkative than Orcas, and because he is a demon, he looks cold, Xia Qi really doesn't know what to say.But Puli obviously had something to do with Xia Qi, so even if Xia Qi didn't know what to say, Puli had something to say.

"The sketch you gave me, I asked the foundry in Shuaifu to make it."

"Ah! What did you choose?"

"Battleblade."

Xia Qi smiled: "Well, the warblade is more handsome and more flexible. Did you tell the other party to engrave that pattern on it?"

"Yes. He said the pattern was magical, and had some kind of power that worked for me."

Xia Qi's smile was a little more mysterious: Of course it works, that's the pattern in your magic pattern.

"Then when you're done, show me if you have the chance."

"Ah."

Pooley stared into Shaggy's black eyes and asked, 'I heard you dropped out. ""Um. Xia Qi nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Senior Orcas is worried that I am alone in the academy, and he wants to take me to practice together." "

"What about your studies?"

"Uh, actually I'm not very interested in pharmacy. I used to study so hard just to come to the capital. Now I want to learn something else."

Xia Qi didn't explain what the "other things" were, and Puli didn't ask, just said: "It's good for you to practice with Orcas. If you can, you can come to the Demon Race."

"Well, yes, I am very curious about the demons."

"I am waiting for you."

"……it is good."

Puli seemed to just want to talk to Xia Qi about weapons, and then he said goodbye and left.Tonight he and the others will return to the Mozu.

Not long after Puli left, Orcas returned.Xia Qi took the initiative to tell the other party, "Pulley chose Warblade."

"Yeah." Okas said, "We're leaving on the [-]th of next month. During this time, I'll be a training partner for Wen Lian and Lan Nai at the academy. Be good at home."

Be good...Xia Qi is very embarrassed: "Could it be that I usually call people indiscriminately?"

"Rest obediently, don't retreat anymore."

"..."

Well, Xia Qi raised his hand and promised: "I only draw sketches and recipes, and I don't retreat."

"Very nice."

Xia Qi protested: "I am not a child!"

"You are not yet of age."

"...I'll be an adult next year!" And he's already an adult!

Okas raised Xia Qi's chin and kissed him, "Your mental strength has been exhausted recently, you need to rest more."

"I see." Xia Qi's face was flushed, senior Okas's gentleness was too much to bear! ——
