Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 118 The Last Heir of the Magic Continent 7

"Hey, have you heard that Teacher Kevin recruited a single child this year?" Shenok sat on the sofa, elegantly crossed his legs, supported his head with one hand, and held an apple in the other hand, chewing it while speaking without any princely image.

"I heard about it..." The person standing beside him answered respectfully.

"Do you know who it is?" Shenok asked with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

"Your Highness, would you like to go and take a look?"

"Well...that's not necessary."

After giving him a smiling look, Shenok casually threw the fruit core in his hand into the trash can accurately, and then reached out.

Seeing this, Finny immediately stretched out his hands and gently held the other person's hands, then carefully wiped each finger of Shenok with a handkerchief, fearing that there was even a little dirt.

At this moment, Szellot had already returned to the academy. Compared to other magic students, a capable and outstanding magic student like Szellot would wear a more advanced magic robe.

As he walked through the academy, he attracted the attention of all the students, but no one dared to come forward and say hello. After all, Senior Szelote was notoriously aloof.

When Szelote pushed open the door, he saw two people with flushed faces sitting at the two ends of the sofa, with a long distance between them.

Szelote walked into the room, his eyes fell on them, and he couldn't help but ask, "Did you two have a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Shenok immediately stood up and loudly retorted, "No!" Then he quickly changed the subject: "Why are you back so late?"

Szelot rubbed his aching forehead and walked into the house while answering, "I was summoned to the palace by the king on the way."

However, when Shenoke heard the news, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but ask, "Why did my father call you? Could it be about me again?"

Szelote walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and after drinking it all, he slowly said, "Xenok, do you think your father has been acting strangely lately?"

Shenok sat back on the sofa, sighed deeply, and replied in a heavy tone, "It's more than just strange. In fact... I felt a long time ago that he had become different from before."

He didn't know when it started, but he suddenly felt that his father had changed. After his father became king, the communication between them became less and less, as if they were separated by an invisible wall.

Over time, this gap deepened, especially after their mother's death, when their relationship reached a freezing point. Now, they would never contact each other unless there was something important to communicate.

Just as the three were still discussing the king's affairs, suddenly, the door of their dormitory was pushed open without warning.

Xie Qi just stuck his head out and looked over cautiously.

"Um...hello." He greeted softly.

As soon as Shenok saw him, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Hey... Aren't you the person from this morning? How did you find yourself here?!"

After Shenok finished speaking, he quickly turned around and stared at Szelote. He winked and asked quietly in a low voice, "Didn't you compensate him? Why did he follow me?"

However, facing Shenok's question, Szellot did not answer, but instead turned his gaze to Xie Qi. Xie Qi was now wearing a magic robe, which made him particularly eye-catching.

"It seems you've successfully passed the exam, but is there anything special that brings you here?"

Xie Qi hugged the items he got after the exam tightly, walked slowly into the dormitory, and then stood quietly at the door, looking at the three people in front of him sincerely.

He explained seriously, "Teacher Kevin told me that he didn't plan to recruit any students this year, so he didn't apply for a freshman dormitory. Recruiting me was a surprise, so I have nowhere to live. Teacher Kevin mentioned that yours is the only vacant room in the four-person dormitory, so he asked me to stay here first..."

"Wow! So you're the only one!" Xie Nuoke exclaimed after hearing Xie Qi's words. His eyes widened, and his face showed an expression of surprise and curiosity, as if he was full of interest in Xie Qi.

Szelote slowly walked up to Xie Qi, looking at him gently. With a faint smile, he said, "It seems we are destined to be together. Since we have become roommates, let me show you your room first."

After Szelote finished speaking, he turned to Finny and said, "Finny, please collect His Highness's things from the room immediately."

Shenok finally came to his senses and quickly responded, "Ah... right, it's my stuff!"

The originally empty room had been unoccupied for a long time and eventually became the little prince's storage room, filled with all kinds of items. Now that Xie Qi was going to move in, these things naturally couldn't be kept here anymore.

Xie Qi then watched as Finny quickly drew a sharp sword from his waist, then gestured three times towards the room filled with objects, as if casting some kind of magical spell. Following his movements, a mysterious magic circle quietly appeared on the ground.

In just a few seconds, the room that had been packed just a moment ago suddenly became empty, all the items vanishing without a trace. Even the room seemed to have been cleaned and spotless.

Finney looked at Xie Qi and said, "Okay, the room is clean now, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, please."

Finney nodded, then walked over to Shenok and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, all the belongings have been safely transferred to my home."

At this moment, Xie Qi placed the magic book on the table. He looked at the three people opposite him who were already looking at him curiously, then said with a smile: "My name is Xie Qi, a freshman this year. I'm very happy to live with you in the future."

However, after hearing the other party's self-introduction, Xie Nok's eyes lingered on Xie Qi's face, as if looking for some familiar traces.

He couldn't help but move closer, his eyes almost touching Xie Qi's face. The scrutiny was almost oppressive. However, the emotions revealed in those eyes were complex and deep.

Because he knew that this speculation did not exist at all, he watched his cousin being cremated, but he still couldn't help but say: "I thought you looked like someone before, and now even the name is similar..." There was a hint of confusion and doubt in his words.

As Xie Nok said this, he wanted to reach out and touch Xie Qi's face, but was grabbed by the collar and pulled away by Szelote behind him.

"Just talk, don't move your hands or feet."

Xie Qi also immediately avoided Xie Nuoke's gaze, ran behind Si Ze, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and said: "Your Highness, you must have remembered it wrongly."

Shenok sighed softly, covered his mouth and yawned. He took a step back, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Maybe I really am remembering it wrongly. It's been too long."

Then he turned and walked towards the door, stretching: "You can stay here, I'm a little sleepy and need to rest." After saying that, he waved to Finny, "Finny, follow me."

With the two people leaving, only Xie Qi and Szelote were left in the room.
