Time passed in a flash.
After four months of hard work, when Lane's hands touched Kailia's face again, the interface of The Breeder's Gift changed.
[Pregnant]
Looking at the words in front of him, Lane lowered his eyes, but his heart was full of pride.
Finally, it's here!
It's not for nothing that he worked hard every day, plowing on Kailia's body. It just goes to show that hard work will always pay off.
Lane didn't care whether the child he was going to have was a son or a daughter. After all, it's his own flesh and blood. He only hoped that this child would have strong abilities, so that Lane could get a more powerful feedback.
"Lord Lane, what's wrong with you?"
Kailia looked at Lane, who was deep in thought, and asked curiously. But her hot body trembled slightly.
It was an instinctive reaction. In these four months, Kailia had received countless waterings from Lane. They say there's no land that can't be plowed, only cows that get tired to death. But under such high-frequency impacts, Kailia more or less couldn't take it.
After all, Lane's physique is so good, and that thing is so...
Thinking of this, Kailia spat lightly, swept the embarrassing images out of her mind, and then looked at Lane again with curiosity.
"I've said it, just call me Lane."
Four months of intimate contact made Lane and Kailia get along very well and understand each other. Kailia was good in every way, a very typical gentle woman. She almost followed Lane in everything and never complained.
Only one thing: every time she called him, it was Lord Lane, even during sex, it never changed.
In bed, this kind of address more or less had a little fun, but on weekdays, it sounded a little strange to Lane's ears.
Kailia, who was always obedient, shook her head: "You are a knight lord, and I'm just an ordinary person. If I call you by your name directly, it's really too presumptuous. If it gets out and people talk about you not being strict in discipline, that would be bad."
Looking at the gentle and lovely girl lying in his arms, Lane stroked her face and then said: "From today on, don't do heavy work. Leave everything to the servants. You should also pay more attention to rest, do you hear me?"
After all, Lane is a knight.
The world he lives in is called "Arya". On this continent, there really are elements called magic power. People who can master and use magic power are called mages. Humans who master the Knight of the Heart and practice their own qi are called knights.
In addition to knights and mages, there are other professions in this world, such as Druids who control natural energy and befriend animals, thieves who control shadow energy and lurk in the dark, warriors who stimulate bloodline power and practice battle qi....
Such beings are all called Transcendents.
To become a Transcendent, what's needed is not only hard work, but more importantly, aptitude. A person's aptitude is determined from birth. What kind of person they can become and how high they can reach are all predestined.
Take Lane, for example. Even if his Knight of the Heart hadn't been shattered, with his aptitude, he could at most reach stage 4, which is the limit of his aptitude and won't be changed by hard work.
Transcendents have 9 stages in total. Stage 4 is neither high nor low, but in this remote small city called Deepwinter City, not to mention a stage 4 Transcendent, even a stage 1 knight would be called "knight lord".
Lane's strength as a stage 3 knight is a realm unheard of in the entire city, so naturally he is respected by the whole city. Lane is already married to the city lord's daughter, and he himself has quite a lot of savings. Buying a large manor in Deepwinter City is not a problem for him.
He also has many servants to take care of the daily life of the manor. In this era where beating and scolding servants is common and they are not treated as humans, the servants in Berk Manor are surprisingly well-treated. Even many commoners are scrambling to get in.
These servants were also prepared early to serve Kailia after she got pregnant.
"What?" Kailia didn't understand for a moment: "Lord Lane, I don't do much work on weekdays. I can handle it, and I can't stay idle either..."
Lane interrupted her: "It's different now."
Hearing Lane's words, Kailia was stunned at first, then looked at her lower abdomen with some disbelief: "Lord Lane, are you saying... I'm pregnant?"
Lane nodded: "So, you can't do any more exercise."
A look of surprise appeared on Kailia's face. Although she was only an 18-year-old girl, the excitement of being about to become a mother when she suddenly heard the news of her pregnancy still shook her.
"Then I must eat more." Kailia touched her belly, as if she could hear the call of the little life inside: "Mother said that eating more food with magic power during pregnancy might give birth to a child with mage aptitude."
"However, since it's Lord Lane's child, it must have extraordinary talent."
Lane smiled without saying a word.
His aptitude is only grade 4, and the highest he can reach is stage 4. He would already be very happy if the child can inherit his aptitude. As for the idea that eating food with magic power can give birth to a child with mage aptitude, it's even more nonsense.
Mages are an extremely rare Extraordinary Class. If it were that easy, there wouldn't be so few mages in the world.
Of course, Lane wouldn't be so low in emotional intelligence as to refute his wife. He just held Kailia in his arms and shared the joy of pregnancy with her. No matter how much talent this child has, Lane can get some feedback. Even if the quality is not enough, he can make up for it with quantity.
What's more, after having five children, he can activate the next divine gift. As long as his wife gives birth to enough children, he will become stronger and stronger. It's really "More Kids, More Blessings!"
However, the children born are after all Lane's offspring, not tools to improve his talent. In addition, Bloodline Link allows him to borrow power, so cultivating his children is also a crucial matter.
Lane is a knight. If Kailia's child is born with knight aptitude, that's okay. But if Kailia gives birth to a child with thief aptitude or other aptitudes, Lane will be at a loss.
This matter also needs to be carefully planned. For his children, Lane is not indifferent. No matter what their talents are, Lane always wants them to have a better future.
In this way, Lane held Kailia in his arms and fell into deep thought.
...
As time passed bit by bit, Kailia's belly grew bigger and bigger.
The baby in her belly was a lively and active little thing, kicking Kailia from time to time, making her giggle. Although Kailia was only eighteen now, her face was already full of maternal brilliance.
When Lane saw this scene, a faint smile appeared on his face. Calculating the time, the ten months of pregnancy were almost over, and Kailia's due date was approaching.
The power of Birth Rite was really strong. During these long ten months, Kailia's body had no abnormalities and didn't have the pregnancy symptoms that ordinary people would have. If it weren't for her big belly, no one would have known that Kailia was a pregnant mother.
This put Lane's mind at ease a lot. Although the Arya continent had Extraordinary Classes, the overall civilization was similar to the Middle Ages, dirty, messy and poor. Pregnant women had to rely purely on their own physique to give birth. Even if Lane knew some hygiene methods, he was not an obstetrician after all. Without the power of Birth Rite, there might have been problems when Kailia gave birth.
With Birth Rite, there was no need to worry about these things.
"Lord Lane, are you here?"
In the garden, Kailia also saw Lane's figure and walked over slowly: "The baby has been kicking me a lot recently. Maybe it wants to come out to meet its father and mother?"
As she spoke, Kailia's face was full of joy, but soon, she turned her head to look at Lane and said nervously.
"Lord Lane.... How about you take another wife?"
