There was an enclosed region situated near the Zahara Kingdom's palace. It was heavily guarded, as living within the enclosed region were all men and women related to birthing the second generation of the Wean Clan.
The enclosed region was cordoned off into four parts, with the fourth part being the smallest, which was where Barla lived. Her pregnancy took the stas a human woman, and hence, the chosen men there could only take turns one after another.
But unlike the case of her brothers, she—a Wean Clansman—was the one bearing the child. Hence, the Empyrean Incubator that had been modified by Yarsha Zahara was more compatible with her.
Possessing Gold Grade strength and having reached the 3-Life Stage, Barla was currently the Wean Clansman with the highest quality of genes. Therefore, the children she births will be the most talented amongst the Wean Clansmen.
She could constantly seep in Empyrean Boar King's essence into the child she bore through the Empyrean Incubator.
On the other hand, the children resulting from her brothers will be inferior. After all, the ones bearing those children were Free Human women. So, the quality of Wean Clan genetics that these Free Human women could nurture paled in response.
Therefore, their goal was to produce Wean Clansmen in large numbers to form the grunt fighting force of the Clan. On the other hand, Barla's children will be elites, responsible for leading the Clan in the future.
As a result, the amount of security designated to Barla's section was significantly higher. Every Free Human—who had begun building Human Avatars using Vara—had been granted a dozen Silver Grade Natures at the very least.
Of the five Royal Guards, two were assigned to Barla's security and were granted powerful Gold Grade Natures that Brangara had personally hunted before he made a trip to the Cooter Clan.
The remaining three Royal Guards were split between the three brothers of Brana, Braga, and Baga.
In one of the houses part of the enclosed region resided Penma, Brana's 74th wife. She had the entire house to her name, granted after winning the Wean Selection. Held in her hands was a flute that she blew, producing a piece of pleasant music.
Her belly was significantly more pronounced than her peers, five months pregnant. Once she finished her music piece, Penma grabbed a piece of Vara and used it as an Information Slip, recording her latest composition in it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe smiled upon feeling bumps from her belly, 'Seems my child loves my music.'
She then closed her eyes and focused on her Spirit Container, observing her scantily built Human Avatar, 'I'll have to start from scratch once again.'
Once the Wean Selection was over, the selected participants were assisted by Yarsha Zahara to destroy their original Human Avatars and then were fed Elixirs to reach the Body Stage. With her assistance, they stably cultivated Gold Inheritance Art and began to build a Human Avatar out of Vara.
Penma's Human Avatar was built from the Vara that Brana had provided. Though she only had 120 units of Prana, having barely begun to progress through the Body Stage, she had Silver Grade strength, a significant jump from her initial self who had an Iron Grade Human Avatar.
"Miss Penma, I have brought sextra funds today." Her personal nanny announced and entered her house, transferring her twenty Natures of Bio-Synthesis, which was sourced from Yoked Wyrms.
Primary Nature—Gracious Inheritance!
All Free Humans who build a Human Avatar out of Vara gain this Primary Nature, whose sole function is the inheritance and transfer of Natures. They could inherit Natures from Empyrean Boars and distribute them between each other.
They could only distribute the Natures between Free Humans who have built Human Avatars out of Vara. In the enclosed region, everyone began to live as they would in the Varahan Empire in the future. As a result, all the nannies too had Human Avatars built out of Vara.
"Thank you," Penma smiled and accepted the Natures, "You're working hard."
"That I must," The nanny sighed, "It has merely been five months, but these ladies are already scheming against each other for benefits. The first wife received two hundred Natures of Bio-Synthesis."
"She's consuming precious resources like they're water while relying on Bio-Synthesis to rapidly digest them." The nanny vented, "From what I found out, most of the nannies are claiming that the first wife's son will be born on the slevel as Lady Barla's children."
"If only they distributed resources fairly." She grunted, "I will lodge a complaint to Lord Brana when I get the chance."
"There's no use." Penma shook her head with a wry smile, "Lord Brana is trying his best to remain impartial to all his wives, but it's an unfortunate truth that resources will naturally find themselves in the hands of the talented."
All the wives had been ranked according to their talents, especially judged based on how talented their progeny could be. The resources were distributed accordingly. Though Brana wanted them all to get the samount of resources, there was a limit to how many Natures he could stockpile per day.
He had a lot of work to do, from resource collection to training Skills and running errands for his mother. His interaction with his wives was minimal at best. He would spend snights with them, and once they were successfully pregnant, he would proceed to the next wife.
All the Natures that he had accumulated were given to the Royal Guard assigned to him, since he didn't have the tto personally visit all his wives daily. And it was this Royal Guard who distributed the inherited Natures to all the wives and their respective nannies.
The Royal Guards obeyed Yarsha Zahara's commands. And hence, they distributed the Natures according to her orders. Ranked 74th in the list of Brana's wives, Penma wasn't talented enough. Hence, the resources allocated to her were only the bare minimum.
"But still, you're carrying a Gold Grade existence in your womb! It's not a normal child to be treated like this!" The nanny grumbled.
"The resources I'm being given are enough to nurture my baby. What more could I ask?" Penma smiled wryly.
"But if you had more resources, you could strengthen your baby's foundation. His Wean Clan genes will be purer and he'll progress higher through the Life Stage!" The nanny shed tears.
"I know…" Penma stopped speaking all of a sudden, noticing the stamp on her forehead. The stamp was golden in colour, and cylindrical in shape with cuboidal sections along the shaft. Branches, leaves, and root patterns were engraved on the sides, glowing faintly.
As the stamp touched her forehead, Penma was unable to speak anymore as all the data in her mindspace was sucked into the stamp, emptying her mind. The nanny waited a few seconds and retracted the stamp once it had sucked in all of Penma's data.
She then took out a vial containing a High-Grade Elixir, refined through Parute King Fruits, and poured them in Penma's mouth, "Swallow it whole."
As the Elixir flowed down her food pipe, the Prana in Penma's body took action naturally. Her body digested the High-Grade Elixir and generated Prana that was circulated through her blood.The stamp flashed once and poured in sdata into her mind space. It had an empirical personality, useful only for this digestion process. The personality took effect as Penma employed Gold Inheritance Art to begin digesting the High-
Grade Elixir faster.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe poured all the Prana generated from the process into the Empyrean Incubator that had fused with her womb, generating potent Empyrean Boar King essence into her children. There was a pair of twins growing in her womb.
But the information was withheld by the nanny, who conveyed to others that Penma was only pregnant with a single child.
All the wives were taken care of by their nannies, who were all personally selected for the task by Yarsha Zahara. Only the nannies could meet with the respective wives who will use the pregnancy period to hone their skills and focus on enriching the Wean Clan genes of their children.
If there was outside contact, there was a chance someone could intrude upon the place. Hence, Yarsha Zahara isolated the place and even went to the extent of filling the ground with Mystic Eaters.
This way, Gannala or Virala will never be able to set foot in the place. Indeed, the duo was unable to infiltrate the place, personally, that is.
Minor Treasure—Mystic Human Stamp!
Once the tool growing at the tail end of his Mystic Ewworm was refined through Gold Kinesis Art to the extreme, it beca Minor Treasure, sas the Brimgan Royals who had reached such a point.
It had fused with the nanny assigned to Penma and had been controlling her all along. Every single day, the nanny would use the power of the stamp upon Penma to extract all the data from her mindspace and insert a fake personality to digest the High-Grade Elixir.
"It's done," Penma said once she used up all the Prana generated by the High-Grade Elixir. Immediately in response, the stamp absorbed the fake personality and injected Penma's original data into her mindspace, except for the final few seconds in her memory.
The stamp turned into a golden flash and retreated into the nanny, who wore a crying expression immediately after, "It's tough, Lady Penma."
"It's alright." Penma continued to speak as if she hadn't witnessed the nanny use the stamp on her. The related memories had been wiped out from her mind space.
She activated four Natures of Bio-Synthesis and consumed food, supplying the generated Prana to her Empyrean Incubator. She focused on her Empyrean Incubator and smiled, "My children will grow up to be strong."
But the stamp touched her forehead once again, selectively extracting smemories. Immediately after, Penma spoke, unaware of what had happened just now, "My child will grow up to be strong."
She had forgotten the fact that she was bearing a pair of twins. And every tshe notices it, the nanny will ensure she continues to forget it.
