Erica carefully picked up the newborn and put it into the array. The mage in charge of the ceremony waved his staff, and invisible detection waves instantly emanated from the array, slowly sweeping over the newborn's body.
But when it entered the newborn's spiritual space, it encountered a special obstacle - the strange energy that carried Xia Yuan through.
The detection wave slid directly away from the surface of the energy layer, as if it were in two different time and spaces. At the same time, Xia Yuan's consciousness was also completely unaware of it.
On the other side, the two rune rings in the magic circle changed instantly. Starting from the top, the ten special runes in the ring gradually turned into blood red one by one.
The Duke couldn't help but hold his breath slightly, his eyes followed the runes slowly, his blue eyes unblinking.
As time went by, the changes gradually stopped. The number of blood-colored runes in the two small rings finally stopped at nine at the same time, and the last rune still shone with a faint blue light.
"Both bloodline concentrations have reached level nine, Your Excellency the Duke!"
The ritual mage stared at the changes in the magic circle and said in awe.
"Um--"
The Duke simply agreed. There was no emotion or anger in his voice, but there was an undetectable smile on his lips.
At this time, he was looking at the strange three-dimensional rune on the other side of the magic circle without blinking.
The blood test results have appeared, but the rune remains unchanged.
Looking at the rune that didn't respond for a long time, the Duke couldn't help but frown.
This made the mage who was paying attention to the Duke's reaction sweat in his heart, secretly worrying whether he had made a mistake in a certain line.
In Xia Yuan's mind, the strange energy seemed to sense something, and the surface rippled like ripples.
A slightly illusory spiritual fragment gradually squeezed away the surrounding energy and 'floated' out of the energy layer.
When the detection wave touched the mental fragment, the rune suddenly emitted a dazzling white glow. Seeing this, the Duke let out a sigh of relief, and an unconcealable smile finally spread across his cheeks.
"The soul synchronization rate is 100%, Your Excellency the Duke."
The spell caster who presided over the ceremony finally relaxed and reported quickly.
"Hahahaha - good! Very good!"
The prince laughed loudly, and his tone of voice rose half a degree with such joy.
"Leonard! Inform the chief of the mage group to prepare for the registration ceremony. Submit invitations to the royal family and major families and invite them to attend on the next full moon night!
In addition, please send me an order to prepare for the festival celebration! Starting from the day of the registration ceremony, all mines, farms, and manors will have a holiday. This year, the taxes of all Kallas citizens will be halved! I want the entire Kallas province to celebrate the three
day!"
"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Butler Leonard bowed to accept the order, then faced the Duke, walked backwards and left the room.

Unlike ordinary people, the higher the level of a professional, the smaller the chance of producing offspring.
If the difficulty for an ordinary couple to obtain offspring is set as one, then the difficulty for a pair of first-level professionals is two, a pair of second-level professionals is four, the third-level is eight, the fourth-level is sixteen... and so on.
Moreover, if the level gap between the couple is large, the difficulty of obtaining offspring will be doubled.
As a rare ninth-level bloodline magician in the mainland, the Duke's difficulty in obtaining descendants can be imagined.
Under this situation, if high-level professionals want to obtain offspring, they must either use some rare treasures that can increase the probability, or... increase the number of efforts.
The energetic and wealthy Grand Duke Karlas chose to pursue a two-pronged approach.
Therefore, whenever a new offspring is obtained, the Duke will hold a grand celebration. During the celebration, all slave classes will receive a three-day holiday.
During these three days, the city lord's palace and major merchants will provide unlimited free bread and ale. The most important thing is that the tax for the year will be halved.
For ordinary people, a tax cut in half means brand new clothes for their children and a smile on the face of their tired wife.
For the poorer people, the tax cut by half means that the cold winter can be passed safely and the whole family can be together.
Therefore, when the news spread that the lord was pregnant with a son, the atmosphere of celebration suddenly filled the city of Kalras.
With the help of magic, this atmosphere quickly spread to the entire Kalras province.
"Praise to the Duke!"
People are singing the praises.
"The generous and kind-hearted Duke and his kind lady have once again received a gift from God! May the gods bless them."

The year of Yunivar is also divided into twelve months, and its length is divided by the lunar phases of Silver Moon Severn.
It’s May 15th, Year 2442 of the Glorious Calendar.
Breathing the air with the faint fragrance of Ningshen flower, Xia Yuan was held in the arms of a pink-haired girl. He quietly looked at the gorgeous platinum-gold carriage roof that was half blocked by something, doubting life.
It has been about a month since the time travel, and during this time, he has obtained more memory fragments.
He was born in the Yar continent in this world. The continent's territory is divided by three super powers. From largest to smallest, they are:
As the game information introduces, the background of this world is the medieval era of swords and magic.
Those powerful professionals can form an army by themselves, easily leveling towering mountain peaks, overturning unfathomable oceans, and even causing stars in the sky to fall.
The owner of the memory fragment is a noble boy named Anvis - for the convenience of separation, Xia Yuan calls him Little Anvis.
The time he remembers the scene ranges from childhood to adolescence. To put it simply, he is a direct descendant of the Olivendi family, one of the four major Duke families in Gloria.
A noble child who inherited a legendary bloodline and was extremely talented.
It's a pity that he was an unlucky child who was born at the wrong time.
At this juncture between old and new eras, this noble and gorgeous background is not a protective umbrella, but a reminder.
In the decades after little Anvis was born, the old aristocracy gradually declined and the new aristocracy rose strongly.
As one of the representatives of the old aristocracy, the Olivendi family has been completely labeled as villains and suffered an almost devastating blow.
In the second expansion pack of the previous game, "The Changing of Times", it existed in name only and could only form an alliance with the other three major families to survive.
As a player, he even took over the task of clearing out alliance forces...
………
But where do these memory fragments come from?
Gently closing his eyes, Xia Yuan fell into deep thought.
It's not like he hasn't read novels, and he knows that there is a saying that rebirth will gain the memory of the original owner, but he was reincarnated as a newborn, so where did he get the memory of the original owner?
After a while, Xia Yuan gave up thinking.
Even time travel has happened, and having one more memory from an unknown source doesn't seem to be a big deal.
When the story is over——
Compared with these, he was more interested in a new discovery:
In a certain memory scene, a figure that appears to be a player suddenly appeared!
Indeed, except for being resurrected, the appearance of players is basically the same as that of NPCs.
But it was hard not to catch Xia Yuan's attention as the two people jumped around.
