Chapter 4: Rebirth and Spiritual Fragments

At this time, in the room on the top floor of the castle, a reproduction of life is taking place.

The gorgeous blue-gold curtains tightly cover the window, and the woman with long light-gold hair lies on her back on the bedding in the center of the room.

She frowned her fair forehead, her hands unconsciously grasped the sheets, her body was covered with sweat, and her amethyst-like eyes were full of pain.

The magic circle at the bottom of the bedding was emitting a faint light, always monitoring the state of the woman's life fluctuations.

Several maids were holding various enchanted knives in their hands, standing by nervously nearby. Or they stared at the crystal ball connected to the life monitoring magic circle, observing the stability of the crystal ball's light.

"How is the lady's life fluctuation?"

The plump brown-haired midwife asked while massaging the woman on the bed. The gentle magic fluctuations flowed between her fingers, relieving the woman's pain.

"A little weak, but very stable!"

"Very good, keep monitoring."

On the other side, the pink-haired girl mage concentrated on maintaining the recovery spell. The condensed life magic continuously entered the woman's body, replenishing her consumption.

Amid the intense and orderly busyness of the crowd, accompanied by a loud cry, the baby was successfully born.

"Congratulations, madam, it's a healthy little master."

The brown-haired midwife wiped her sweat and said respectfully to the slightly weak woman on the bedding. Several enchanted tools danced rapidly under the control of mental power, and quickly carried out follow-up treatment.

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 long breath, showed a relaxed smile, and completely relaxed her body with her eyes slightly closed.

"Jennifer, Erica, I'm tired and need to rest. You go out first."

"Yes, respected madam." x2

………

I...became a newborn...?

In a strange environment, people around him spoke incomprehensible words. Affected by his body, Xia Yuan's thinking ability was reduced to the extreme.

" x-on:ω，﹡·)╰ひ╯."

Then, he felt himself being picked up, and a blurry image of a woman with long light blonde hair appeared before his eyes.

When he looked at her, her expression moved, as if she was smiling.

She... is...?

She began to speak, her voice was slow and clear, but Xia Yuan could not understand, it was not any language he had ever come into contact with.

"、^，⊙ # ，%○⌒，◎◇╦."

"￥，&ω."x2

? ...So sleepy...I can't think...

My thoughts gradually became stagnant, and I forced myself to open my eyes and glance around. The final scene that came into my eyes was the blurry backs of the people coming out in a line. Then, the young body fell asleep.

…………

Outside the door, two men stood silently one after the other.

The leader had strange ice-blue hair, and his eyes under his sword-like eyebrows were deep blue, like a bottomless ocean. His face was handsome and three-dimensional, and the whole person had a strange charm.

He is the owner of this castle, the lord of the province of Karlas, one of the four great dukes of the empire, the current head of the Olivendi family, and the ninth-level legendary blood warlock-Carrot.

The latter is about the same height as the former, but thinner. He wears a neat black tuxedo, and his iron-gray eyes are sharp and energetic.

He crosses his hands in front of him with white gloves, standing upright about three steps behind the former.

Seeing the midwife and the maids walk out of the room, Duke Carrot's inquiring eyes immediately swept over.

"How is the situation?"

"Respected Duke-"

Midwife Jennifer bowed her head slightly, looking at the ground in front of the Duke, and answered respectfully.

"Madam gave birth to a healthy boy, and now she is a little tired and is resting. I left two maids in the room to take care of her."

"Very good!"

Hearing the words of the midwife, the Duke nodded. In the depths of his blue eyes, a subtle worry disappeared, replaced by relaxation and joy, and his tone softened.

"Leonard——"

The Duke turned around and faced the butler behind him.

"As usual, when the lady's postpartum weakness period is over, rewards will be distributed to all servants and guards in the castle."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

The butler bowed slightly and accepted the order.

At the same time, the young mage Erica carefully pushed the newborn out of the room.

Seeing this, the Duke stepped forward and gently picked up the newborn in the swaddling clothes. His blue eyes carefully looked at his cute sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"Is the blood test ceremony ready?"

"The magic array and materials are ready, and the family mage is on standby in the test room."

Leonard bowed slightly and answered in a deep voice.

"Okay."

The Duke nodded, suppressed his thoughts, put the newborn down again, turned around and strode towards the direction of the test room.

………

Xia Yuan did not know his current situation. At this moment, a change was happening in his consciousness space.

When everyone took his body to the test room.

A spiritual fragment that came from nowhere and was full of "sense of existence" "floated" out from the strange energy that enveloped his consciousness.

In his perception, the scene was like a bright star suddenly appearing in the endless dark deep space.

The star gradually approached and "collided" with his consciousness, and then turned into a stream of information and merged into his consciousness.

It was a short memory fragment recorded from the perspective of a child -

In a gorgeous room, there was a child who looked two or three years old.

Being held by the beautiful woman with blonde hair and purple eyes whom he had seen when he was born, he stood in front of a huge floor-length mirror with a carved gold frame.

The child stretched out his little hand to the mirror restlessly, and the reflection in the mirror was synchronized with it. The two little hands touched each other across the mirror, causing the child to giggle.

Through the mirror, Xia Yuan saw the appearance of the owner of the memory.

The clear eyes were as clear and blue as lake water, and under the straight nose, the little mouth was grinning into a big smile. The tender skin was as white and smooth as milk, and the light golden hair was as bright as the sun.

The woman looked down at the child, her cheek close to him, and she smiled gently with squinting eyes, exuding a charming brilliance all over her body.

"Remember, child, your name is Anvis, Anvis Karlas Carlot Elena Luo Olivendi."

What a long name... No! Can I understand what she said now? !

In the spiritual space, Xia Yuan instinctively made a comment, and then suddenly reacted.

No, it should not be ‘I’ who can understand, but the owner of the memory. Acquiring his memory also made me master this language.

But speaking of it, the surname Olivendi seems a little familiar...

Xia Yuan was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it, just continued to immerse himself in browsing information.

………

In the testing room, the blue-robed wizard stood in front of a huge ritual array, waiting silently.

Seeing the Duke and others coming, he hurriedly lowered his head, raised his right hand horizontally, and tapped three times in front of his chest, forming a simple equilateral triangle ‘Eye of Truth’ symbol, and solemnly performed a wizard's salute.

The Duke nodded to him, strolled into the room, and casually glanced at the array on the ground.

"Prepare for testing."

The ritual wizard nodded, took out a magic crystal with a faint blue luster, placed it in the core of the array, and then gently tapped it with his staff.

The crystal emitted a hazy halo, and the faint blue light spread with it as the midpoint, lighting up the entire ritual array.
