At this time, in the room on the top floor of the castle, a reproduction of life was taking place.
Gorgeous blue-gold wavy curtains firmly cover the window, and a woman with long light-blond hair lies on her back on the bedding in the center of the room.
She wrinkled her white forehead tightly, her hands unconsciously grasping the sheets, sweat all over her body, and her amethyst-like eyes full of pain.
The magic circle on the bottom of the bedding is dimly lit, constantly monitoring the fluctuating state of a woman's life.
Several maids, holding various enchanted knives in their hands, were on standby nearby. Or keep an eye on the crystal ball connected to the life monitoring array to observe the stability of the crystal ball's light.
"How is Madam's life fluctuation?"
The plump brown-haired midwife asked while massaging the woman on the bed. Gentle magic waves flowed between her fingers, easing the woman's pain.
"A little weak, but very stable!"
"Good, keep monitoring."
On the other side, the pink-haired girl mage concentrated on maintaining the recovery spell. The solid life magic power is continuously input into the woman's body, replenishing her consumption.
Amid the intense and orderly busyness of everyone, and with a loud cry, the baby was successfully born.
"Congratulations, madam, on a healthy young master."
The brown-haired midwife wiped her sweat and said respectfully to the slightly frail woman on the bedding. Several enchanted tools danced rapidly under the control of mental power, allowing for rapid follow-up processing.
After everything was done, she picked up the child and brought it to the tired and panting woman.
Staring at the cute little face close at hand, the woman nodded, took a deep breath, showed a relaxed smile, relaxed her body completely, and closed her eyes slightly.
"Jennifer, Erica, I'm tired and need a rest. You can go out first."
"Yes, my dear ma'am." x2
………
I...became a newborn...?
In an unfamiliar environment, the people around him spoke incomprehensible words, and under the influence of his body, Xia Yuan's thinking ability was reduced to the extreme.
"@ω，﹡·)✄╰ひ╯."
Then, he felt himself being picked up, and a blurry image of a woman with light blond hair appeared in front of him.
When he looked at her, her expression moved and she seemed to be smiling.
she is……?
She began to speak, her voice slow and clear, but Xia Yuan could not understand it. It was not any language he had been exposed to.
"℗▤, ^♡, ⊙#, %○⌒, ◎◇╦."
"￥,&ω." x2
? …so sleepy…can’t think…
His thoughts gradually became stagnant. He forced himself to open his eyes and scanned the scene. The final scene that caught his eye was the blurry back figures of people filing out. Then, the young body fell into sleep.
…………
Outside the door, two men stood silently, one behind the other.
The leader has strange ice-blue hair, and his eyes under the sword eyebrows are deep blue, like a bottomless ocean. His face is handsome and three-dimensional, and his whole person has a strange charm.
He is the owner of this castle, the lord of the province of Kallas, one of the four great dukes of the empire, the current head of the Olivendi family, and the ninth-level legendary blood warlock - Carlot.
The latter is about the same height as the former, but slimmer. Wearing a crisp black tuxedo, his iron-gray eyes are sharp and lively.
He folded his white-gloved hands in front of him and stood about three steps behind the former.
Seeing the midwife and maids walking out of the room, Duke Carlot's inquiring eyes immediately glanced over.
"How is it going?"
"Dear Lord Duke——"
Midwife Jennifer lowered her head slightly, looked at the ground in front of the Duke, and answered respectfully.
"My wife gave birth to a healthy boy. She is a little tired now and is resting. I left two maids in the room to take care of her."
"very good!"
The Duke nodded at the midwife's words. Deep in the blue eyes, a trace of imperceptible worry disappeared, replaced by relaxation and joy, and the tone of voice couldn't help but soften.
"Leonard——"
The Duke turned around and faced the butler behind him.
"As usual, after the lady's postpartum weakness is over, rewards will be distributed to all the servants and guards in the castle."
"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke."
The butler bowed slightly to accept the order.
At the same time, the young mage Erica carefully pushed the newborn and walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, the Duke took a step forward and gently picked up the swaddled newborn. His blue eyes carefully studied his cute sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from raising.
"Are the preparations for the bloodline testing ceremony complete?"
"The magic circle and materials have been prepared, and the family mage is on standby in the testing room."
Leonard lowered his head slightly and answered in a deep voice.
"good."
The Duke nodded, suppressed his thoughts, put down the newborn again, turned around and strode towards the examination room.
………
Xia Yuan was unaware of his current situation. At this moment, a change was taking place in his consciousness space.
When everyone took his body to the examination room.
A spiritual fragment that came from nowhere and was filled with a sense of existence emerged from the strange energy surrounding his consciousness.
In perception, the scene was like a bright star suddenly appearing in the endless dark sky.
The stars gradually approached, 'collided' with his consciousness, and then turned into a flow of information and merged into his consciousness.
It was recorded from the perspective of a child, a short memory fragment——
In the gorgeous room, there is a child who looks to be two or three years old.
He was held by the beautiful woman with blond hair and purple eyes whom he had seen when he was born, and stood in front of a huge floor-length mirror with a gold frame.
The child stretched out his little hand restlessly towards the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror synchronized with it. The two little hands touched each other through the mirror, making the child giggle.
Through the mirror, Xia Yuan saw the appearance of the memory owner.
Her clear eyes were as clear and blue as lake water, and under her straight nose, her small mouth formed a big smile. Her young skin is as white and smooth as milk, and her light golden hair is as bright as the sun.
The woman looked down at the child, her cheeks very close to each other, she smiled softly with narrowed eyes, and her whole body exuded a charming brilliance.
"Remember, child, your name is Anvis, Anvis Kalras Carrot Elena Lo Oliventi."
Such a long name...wrong! Can I understand her now? !
In the mental space, Xia Yuan instinctively made a comment, and then suddenly reacted.
No, it shouldn't be that 'I' can understand it, but the owner of the memory can understand it. Capturing his memory also enabled me to master the language.
But speaking of it, the surname Olivendi seems a bit familiar...
Xia Yuan was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it and just continued to immerse himself in browsing the information.
………
In the testing room, the blue-robed mage stood in front of a huge ritual circle, waiting silently.
Seeing the arrival of the Duke and others, he quickly lowered his head, raised his right hand flat, tapped three times on his chest to form a simple equilateral triangle 'Eye of Truth' symbol, and solemnly performed a mage salute.
The Duke nodded to him, strolled into the room, and casually glanced at the magic circle on the ground.
"Ready for testing."
The ritual mage nodded, took out a magic crystal that shone with blue light, placed it in the core of the magic circle, and then tapped it gently with his staff.
The crystal emits a hazy halo, and the faint blue light spreads from it as the midpoint, lighting up the entire ritual circle.
