Chapter 957

Lotus Palace.

Rennes arranged a private banquet in the evening, and the guest was the Governor of Osian Province, Moserio, who was reporting to the imperial capital.

In the past few years, as the governor of the duchy, Mercerio has been loyal and managed the territory well, and the people's livelihood and economy have developed rapidly. The recruitment of the Duke's Guard in Osian has been going smoothly, and this is also due to the dedication of Moserio.

But suddenly, the duchy became an imperial province again.

Naturally, Rennes would not cross the river and demolish the bridge, and re-appoint Moserio as the governor. Except for the change of title, everything will remain as usual.

However, the governor of the province is a public office after all, which is different from the governor of the duke.

Ren is still in the position of consul, so there is no problem, but Moserio's eyes are far-sighted, and sooner or later, Ren will step down as consul. As the governor of Osian himself, but next to the Duke of Greyhawk, Longpis was once a vassal of the Duke...

"You do not have to worry about."

Ren can naturally see Moserio's worry. Osian is one of the centers of gravity for him to control the Sain Plateau, and he must not give up at will.

Even if the name is not right now, it is necessary to maintain control over Osian.

He comforted: "The Duke of Gray Eagle dare not do anything to you, at least until the end of my term, he will not do anything."

Wren has five years left in his term.

Moserio nodded, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, what about five years from now?"

"Five years later..." Ren smiled playfully. Of course, he couldn't disclose his plan. He could only say in another way: "Even if I don't re-elect, the next consul must be a member of the Modu faction. As long as you If you want to be the governor of Osian, no one can drive you away."

With this promise, Moserio was finally relieved.

He didn't want to be the governor of Osian all the time, he hoped to climb to a higher position, but he also knew that the consul attached great importance to Osian, and now he still needed to control this province by himself.

"Wherever my lord tells me to transfer, I will go there, and it is all up to your arrangement." Moserio expressed his loyalty again.

"very good."

Ren was very satisfied with this and raised his wine glass.

Moserio quickly raised his glass too, raised his head and drank it in a sip, and was about to speak when Ren, who was sitting across from him, changed his expression and quickly calmed down again: "Sorry, I have something urgent to deal with. Frank, replace me Give Governor Mercerio a treat."

"My lord, please go ahead and don't pay attention to me." Moserio was taken aback, thinking that something serious had happened.

Ren nodded to him, and immediately left in a heartbeat.

The next moment, he returned to the Consul's mansion in the Dutch Palace. Two Ultramarines were guarding outside their bedroom. When they saw Ren, one of them reported: "Boss, Ms. Viola is inside, and the two priests and maids are also there." Followed in."

"Hmm..." Ren felt relieved.

It's not the first time he is a father, he has experienced the birth of Rex and Elizabeth, so he is relatively calm.

Moreover, Viola is a legendary transcendent, whose physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. Both priests are bishops of the Church of the Earth and have rich experience in midwifery. They also prepared a large number of potions and scrolls, so there is almost no danger.

There is a sound-proof force field in the bedroom, and Ren can't hear the sound inside.

He didn't want to observe the situation with all-seeing eyes, but just stood outside the door and waited patiently.

The parents who lived in the mansion heard the news and rushed to arrive. Old Bud walked back and forth anxiously, and his mother Malinda kept whispering prayers to the goddess of magic and the mother of the earth, hoping that the two gods would bless Viola and give birth to a child.

After a few minutes, the bedroom door opened.

A middle-aged female priest came out and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Mr. Consul, Ms. Viola and the child are both safe and sound, it is a son."

"Thank you Bishop Angel."

Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the housekeeper Abigail who came out. She watched Viola grow up and has been taking care of Viola these days.

Abigail's face was full of joy, and she immediately understood what Ryan meant, and said respectfully, "Bishop Angel, please follow me."

Then he left with the two priests and maids.

Ren just entered the bedroom and saw Viola standing by the bed.

Her complexion was rosy, without the slightest fatigue or pain, and her figure had returned to that before she was pregnant, not at all like someone who had just given birth. She held the newborn child in her arms, with a gentle and loving face and focused eyes. She didn't turn her head until she heard Ren's footsteps.

"Ren." Viola said joyfully, "Come and see our son!"

Ren walked to her side, held her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

The half-elf smiled, and the whole room was like a hundred flowers in full bloom. She was so glamorous, she laughed softly: "I am the chosen one of the legendary high-ranking wizard and the long-haired lady. I just have a baby. It's not about fighting the enemy. I can have a baby." What's up?"

"Yes." Ren smiled helplessly.

In my own impression, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I always subconsciously forget that extraordinary people are not ordinary people in previous lives. Legendary extraordinary people are even superhuman. There is no danger at all in giving birth. The process is like going to a supermarket to shop. It's over after birth.

Old Bud and Malinda who followed in were also stunned when they saw Viola's appearance.

This is beyond their cognition.

Then, they quickly looked at the baby, their faces filled with astonishment again.

Newborn babies are wrinkled and generally not good-looking. Sometimes there are squeeze marks on the skin, which makes people feel distressed.

But the baby in front of him had extremely beautiful and clear facial features when he was born, and the outlines of the two ears were slightly pointed. This was a half-elf blood inherited from his mother. The nose was small and straight, and a pair of dark eyes looked around curiously. There is a god, nine points similar to Rennes.

"What a beautiful child!"

Malinda couldn't help but praise.

If the pastor hadn't said that Viola gave birth to a son, she would have thought it was a girl, she was so pretty.

Old Bud nodded repeatedly, and then found that his grandson was shimmering faintly. His whole body was covered in a layer of sacred light, which was slowly shrinking, revealing smooth and delicate skin. The last ray of light melted into his eyes and disappeared.

Malinda finally noticed it too, and the two were horrified.

This miraculous phenomenon made them all have an idea, is this really a child of a mortal? The two of them looked at the child a few more times, and felt an inexplicable awe in their hearts, as if what they saw was not their grandson, but a majestic god above the clouds.

Ryan knew exactly what was going on.

Of course, the son of God is different from the children of ordinary people. Even if it is just a newborn baby, the breath released unintentionally will cause spiritual suppression to ordinary people.

However, no matter how noble the Son of God is, he must be obedient in front of Lao Tzu.

Ren took his son from Viola's arms.

The kid didn't cry or fuss, he looked at Ren with dark eyes, and stretched out his small hand to grab Ren's chin, making a babbling sound, as if he was talking and wanted to express his feelings idea.

Old Bud and Malinda didn't dare to say anything at all, and they were even a little scared.

Ren held his son in his arms and observed closely with the eyes of the soul.

Sure enough, there is no blood soul curse, and a newborn soul is comparable to an adult.

In the depths of the soul, there is an obscure rune formed by condensed divine power, roughly in the shape of a heart, surrounded by flowers and musical notes, this is the holy symbol of the lady with long hair.

It emits holy light to protect the entire soul, free from any spiritual attacks and immune to all negative effects, similar to the will of truth, but higher and stronger than the will of truth, it is a small part of the power of gods born with it .

The effect of the holy emblem is not limited to protecting the soul, it will gradually show more functions as he grows up.

"This is the Son of God!"

Ren couldn't help sighing in his heart, remembering a sentence in his previous life: Some people were born in Rome, and some were born as cattle and horses.

This kid was born in the Kingdom of God, and his talent is unmatched by any mortal.

Viola reminded: "Ren, you should name him."

"good."

Ren had already thought of the name, with a smile on his face, he raised his son a little higher, and announced: "From today, your name is 'Octavis', and you will be my heir, full name' Octavius ​​Augustus'."

"I hope that one day, all the worlds will praise your name, praise your courage and glory, and live up to the name of Augustus!"

Ren's words spread throughout the Dutch palace, reaching the ears of many officials and Rick's Imperial Guard Palace.

People recognized the voice of the consul.

Then it became clear that the consul's son was born, named Octavius, and appointed him his heir.

These ambitions and expectations made Viola's heart beat.

She whispered: "Augustavius, you will be Octavius ​​from now on..."

But there is also some doubts. She doesn't know the origin of the name. She has mastered Orion, High Elvish, Dragon and Giant, but there is no relevant explanation, so she asked: "Ren, Octavian What is the meaning of s?"

"No, it's a name I created."

Ren shook his head, and added with a smile: "If you must have a meaning, you can understand it as 'divine greatness'."

This is the original meaning of "Augustus", and he directly appropriated it.

"Holy greatness!"

Viola's eyes lit up, and she was very satisfied with the name. Her son is the Son of God, of course it is holy. As the son of Ren, the future must be great!

Octavius ​​seemed to understand, and looked at his father with dark eyes, but after all, it was a newborn baby, and soon looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on his mother, and stretched out his little hand to Viola to express I am hungry.

Viola quickly took it, ready to breastfeed.

Old Bud and Malinda hurried out of the bedroom and walked outside the door. The pressure that made them uncomfortable disappeared suddenly, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren looked at Viola who was breastfeeding his son, and said with a smile: "Try not to let Octavius ​​come into contact with outsiders these days, we can only take care of it ourselves."

"Yes, I know."

The half-elf also saw the situation of Ren's parents, and the priest and maid who delivered the baby just now also noticed the abnormality, and she knew it well.

Octavius ​​was just born, and his divine power leaked out, scaring mortals.

Just a few days.

Sure enough, after a week, Octavius ​​was almost like a mortal baby except for his beautiful appearance. He eats and sleeps every day, but he stays awake much longer than ordinary children, and he can clearly express what he wants.

By the time of the full moon, Octavius ​​could already call Mom and Dad.

And started crawling around.

It is estimated that he will be able to walk by himself in half a year.

Ryan has been observing his son's situation. Octavius's soul is very stable, and his growth rate is many times faster than other children, so he is particularly precocious.

According to this situation, Octavius ​​could complete his first soul change and become a wizard when he was about ten years old, or even a year or two earlier!

The long-haired lady said that he would not have a bottleneck until the ninth soul change.

This means that Octavius ​​has a smooth journey below the thirty-level wizard, and as long as there is no accident, he can at least reach the twenty-ninth level! With his own help, he could easily break the record for the youngest holy soul wizard.

Ren was a little envious.

On the day of Octavius's full moon, Ren held a grand banquet for his son in the Palace of Holland. Octavius ​​made an appearance at the banquet and officially announced that he was his heir.

The guests congratulated and presented gifts.

The three most honored guests were Anse Wodos, Master Oroin and the Duke of Silver Star. The other members of the Supreme Council were not present in person, but every holy soul wizard and archmage, including Tim * Kenan and Kyle Stone, sent people to the banquet to send blessings and congratulations.

This was unprecedented treatment in the history of the empire, and the name of Octavius ​​spread throughout the country.

After the full moon, Octavius ​​was not seen again.

Ren sent a team of Thundercast Sky Soldiers to hide beside Augustavis 24 hours a day to protect his safety. After taking care of Octavius' healthy growth for more than two months, Viola also returned to work as the Minister of the Interior.

Time to enter summer.

Ren left the double in the He Palace, and the real body left the imperial capital and teleported to the Sain Plateau.

Mount Glagur, Machinery Factory.

Thousands of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers are expanding this huge machinery factory, digging out a larger space in the mountainside, and arranging rune circles to reinforce the structure. On the ground, after being initially smelted by the dwarves of Kharanos, a steady stream of alloys were sent here, piling up like a mountain.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, as if an invisible hand is behind the management.

Ren looked into the air.

A brand-new Star Destroyer is floating there. This is the latest completed No. 4 ship. The core of Iola has been installed, and the Titan Furnace has also been tested. The control system and the rune circle are operating normally and can be activated at any time. jump.

He jumped into the bridge in his mind, sat on the familiar metal seat, and looked thoughtful.

"There are already four Imperial-class ships."

"Four star destroyers can barely form the prototype of a fleet, but there is still one flagship, so the next step is to build a bigger and stronger victory class!"

"I hope I can catch up..."

Ren's gaze returned to the Empire-class ship. According to the usual practice, all Star Destroyers that officially enter service must be named.

He thought for a while, and thought: "Both the No. 2 and No. 4 ships were built on the plateau, and the future Victory class will be born here. The contribution of Kalanos City is very important, even more important than Raleigh City and Loposter." , then call it the 'Karanos'."

After choosing the name of the ship, Ren pressed the start button.

Thirty seconds later, the Kalanos let out a huge roar, and the heavy hull jumped into the void, disappearing.
