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.
Gorgeous blue-gold curtains tightly covered the window, and a woman with long light blonde hair lay on her back on the bedding in the middle of the room.
Her fair forehead was tightly furrowed, her hands unconsciously grasping the bed sheets, her body was covered in sweat, and her amethyst eyes were filled with pain.
The magic circle at the bottom of the bedding was glowing dimly, constantly monitoring the woman's life fluctuations.
Several maids were standing by with various enchanted knives in their hands, or staring at the crystal ball connected to the life monitoring array, observing the stability of the crystal ball's light.
"How is Madam's life fluctuation?"
The plump brown-haired midwife asked as she massaged the woman on the bed. Gentle magical power flowed between her fingers, relieving the woman's pain.
"A little weak, but stable!"
"Very good, keep monitoring."
On the other side, the pink-haired girl mage was concentrating on maintaining the recovery spell. The condensed life magic power was continuously input into the girl's body, replenishing her consumption.
Amid the intense and orderly busyness of the crowd, the baby was successfully born with a loud cry.
"Congratulations, ma'am, it's a healthy young master."
The brown-haired midwife wiped her sweat and said respectfully to the slightly weak woman on the bed. Several enchanted tools danced rapidly under mental control, quickly carrying out follow-up processing.
When everything was done, she picked up the child and brought him to the tired and panting woman.
Staring at the cute little face so close to her, the woman nodded, let out a long breath, smiled relaxedly, completely relaxed her body, and closed her eyes slightly.
"Jennifer, Erica, I'm tired and need to rest. You guys go out first."
"Yes, ma'am." x2 ……
I... turned into a newborn baby...? In a strange environment, with people around him speaking incomprehensible words, Xia Yuan's thinking ability was reduced to the extreme due to his physical condition.
"@ω，﹡·)╰ひ╯."
Then he felt himself being picked up, and the blurry image of a woman with long light blonde hair appeared before his eyes.
When he looked at her, her expression moved and she seemed to be smiling.
She... is...? She began to speak, her voice was slow and clear, but Xia Yuan couldn't understand it, it was not any language he had ever come into contact with.
",^,⊙#,%○⌒,◎◇╦."
"￥, &ω." x2 ? ... So sleepy... Can't think...
His thoughts gradually became stagnant, and he forced himself to open his eyes and glance around. The last thing he saw was the blurry backs of people filing out. Then, his young body fell into sleep.
…………
Outside the door, two men stood silently, one in front and one behind.
The leader had strange ice-blue hair, and his eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows were deep blue, like a bottomless ocean. His face was handsome and three-dimensional, and his whole body exuded 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 legendary ninth-rank blood sorcerer - Carrot.
The latter was about the same height as the former, but thinner. He was wearing a crisp black tuxedo, and his iron-gray eyes were sharp and bright.
He stood straight about three steps behind the former with his white-gloved hands folded in front of him.
Seeing the midwife and the maids walk out of the room, Duke Carrot immediately looked over with an inquiring look.
"How is it going?"
"Your Excellency the Duke—"
Midwife Jennifer lowered her head slightly, staring at the ground in front of the Duke, and answered respectfully.
"Madam has given 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!"
Hearing the midwife's words, the Duke nodded. The barely perceptible worry in the depths of his blue eyes disappeared, replaced by relaxation and joy, and his tone softened.
“Leonard—”
The Duke turned around and faced the butler behind him.
"As usual, after Madam's weakness after childbirth is over, rewards will be distributed to all servants and guards in the castle."
"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke."
The butler bowed slightly and accepted the order.
At the same time, the young wizard Erica carefully pushed the newborn baby out of the room.
Seeing this, the Duke took a step forward and gently picked up the swaddled newborn. His blue eyes carefully examined his adorable sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Is the bloodline testing ceremony ready?"
"The magic array and materials have been prepared, and the family magician 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 the newborn down again, turned around and strode towards the testing room.
………
Xia Yuan was unaware of his current situation. At this moment, a strange change was taking place in his consciousness space.
As everyone took his body to the testing room.
A piece of spiritual fragment that came from nowhere and was full of "sense of existence" "floated" out from the strange energy that enveloped his consciousness.
In perception, the scene was like a bright star suddenly appearing in the boundless dark sky.
The stars gradually approached, and "collided" with his consciousness, and then turned into a stream of information and merged into his consciousness.
That was a short memory fragment recorded from a child's perspective.
In the gorgeous room, there is a child who looks two or three years old.
He was being held by the beautiful woman with blonde hair and purple eyes whom he had seen when he was born, and was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror with a carved gold frame.
The child restlessly stretched out his hand towards the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror was synchronized with it. The two hands touched each other through the mirror, causing the child to giggle.
Through the mirror, Xia Yuan saw the appearance of the owner of the memory.
Her bright eyes were as clear and blue as lake water, her small mouth was stretched into a big smile under her straight nose, her tender skin was as white and smooth as milk, and her light golden hair was as bright as the sun.
The woman looked down at the child, her cheek close to his, smiling gently with her eyes narrowed, radiating a charming glow.
"Remember, child, your name is Anvis, Anvis Karlas Carlot Elena Lo Olivendi."
What a long name... No! Can I understand what she is saying now?!
In the spiritual space, Xia Yuan instinctively made a comment, and then suddenly reacted.
No, it's not me who can understand it, but the owner of the memory. By acquiring his memory, I also mastered the language.
But speaking of it, the last name Olivendi seems a little familiar...
Xia Yuan was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it and just continued to immerse himself in browsing the information.
………
In the testing room, a blue-robed wizard stood in front of a huge ritual formation, waiting silently.
Seeing the Duke and others coming, he hurriedly lowered his head, raised his right hand, and tapped his chest three times, 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 magic circle on the ground.
“Be prepared to be tested.”
The ritual mage nodded, took out a magic crystal that shone with a faint blue luster, placed it at the core of the magic circle, and then tapped it lightly with his staff.
The crystal emitted a hazy halo, and the faint blue light spread out from it as the center point, lighting up the entire ritual array.
