After a good while of ploughing and planting, Yunan eventually got a seed to bloom, after trying enough times that would cause anyone to want to give up, Reina got her chance to carry a child, she was so happy she ended up kissing Yunan till his lips swell up to twice the size, having never seen the lady this aggressive before, he decided to spend his days making sure she took her happiness out on him. While the nights were spent challenging the guardian on the 69th floor.Yunan was hoping to cross to the sage level before stepping back into the 70th floor, as for the guardian, it did not provide enough of a challenge after three months, he would defeat it every night before dawn just in time to return to the increasingly fatter Reina.
Three more months were enough for Yunan to breakthrough and become a full-fledged sage, he was able to completely stop his own power from affecting the world around him at rest, as well as reliably last for a day while fighting without letting any bit of his power escape.
He now understood why he could not tell when Debauchery party used magic or skills; unless they wanted him to take notice, now, he could do the same, but as a beginner and not as impressive as his teachers, especially when it came to skills, hiding magic came to him easier due to his proficiency in magic concealment skills.
Since Reina was no longer sticking to him as much lately, Yunan decided to start working on the 70th floors, this place was a mountainous region dotted with caves and forests on the slopes and a prairie in the valleys and ridges between mountains, this was where he would find an abundance of wyrms with different affinities each trying to fight their way to the highest cave in the nearest mountain, as for the rest of the fields they were full to bursting with pray.
As per the usual habit he sent Drogon to scout out and look for anything worthwhile to bring back to the portable home, as for Yunan himself, he started working his way through the mountain caves, since he witnessed the wyrms fighting over the caves, he decided he should do so as well, being dragonkin himself, it would be of poor taste to shun the habits of one"s relatives.
After exploring the caves he came to a conclusion, each mountain contained some kind of an elemental core, each core had an affinity, and each mountain was swarmed by wyrms of said affinity, each cave represents a training spot to help the wyrms advance their elemental sensitivity, making their spells cast faster as well consume less mana, as he made his way through the mountain Yunan fought desperately for each cave.
These wyrms were not very friendly to someone like him, someone with three bloodlines, even if one of them was telling the wyrms not to mess with him, they were not as smart and not as sane as the dragonkin that still live in the world.
The wyrms had two types of attacks, an elemental breath and their bodies, the sharp claws and the dagger-like teeth, the thin razor-like wings, it was as if they needed no way to defend themselves, and they truly did not care about taking damages.
The scaly hide and the taut muscles underneath worked like shields, although the ability to injure each other was there, the fights ended always with submission instead of severe injury between wyrms, Yunan was not as merciful and simply killed his way as he integrated the physical weapons of the wyrms into his a.r.s.enal, making his weapons and claws even sharper and tougher, capable of dealing much more damage and last longer in unfavourable fights, a really nice upgrade.
The second child was born a male, Yunan had just cleared his first mountain range, it was a fire element one, after beating the boss of the mountain he dug out the elemental core and sent it home to see how it can be used, the core turned out to be a crystal of condensed fire element, it was a prism 50 meters long and 50 meters wide and 100 meters high.
The boy did not have any special bloodline other than the default kitsune one, which dampened Yunan"s spirit, he had failed to pa.s.s his bloodlines twice already, that eventually turned into a long query that only ended after Hephaestus was fed the strongest alcoholic drinks to make his tight lips loosen up.
It seems that for Yunan, even having two children was already too impressive, according to the old smith, since both Dragons and Phoenix were blessed with long lives, their reproductive age was very high, to them, Yunan should still be in diapers, the addition of both bloodlines have made Yunan a juvenile, thankfully, they integrated perfectly, thus he did not return to prep.u.b.escence.
That also affected his ability to share his bloodlines, he could force the bloodlines on his children but it was not as safe as being born with it, Hephaestus said that until Yunan reached maturity in terms of each bloodline, he would only pa.s.s on only his human blood to his children.
Hearing this, Yunan felt much better, as did the wives, it was not their fault they could not bear children, they just had to wait for a few thousand years until Yunan went through p.u.b.erty again, if they did not care about bloodlines, they could still try for ordinary children in the meantime.
As for the boy it was named Kaeser, Reina wanted him to be as regal as an emperor and live as comfortably as one, although knowing that his father will not let the boy off easy before making him truly worthy of the name, she still had hopes of secretly spoiling her child, just like she did with Catelyn.
