"Duke Rennes has been promoted to the half god realm?"
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing this news, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
As it was known, on the surface, there are only five half-god powerhouses in the entire empire of Kukarn and this is accumulated for over thousands of years.
You can imagine, how difficult it is to break through to the realm of half-gods and the Duke Rennes only broke through to the legendary realm a few decades ago, and now, he's promoted to half-god in just a few decades?
Isn't that too outrageous?
Since when did it become so easy to ascend to the realm of half-gods?
However, after verifying the information, all the nobles of the Kukarn Empire were shocked, because this seemingly outrageous news turned out to be true, dozens of legendary powerhouses witnessed it with their own eyes.
In other words, the sixth half-god powerhouse of the Kukarn Empire has truly been born.
"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Habsburg family."
Realizing this, some perceptive nobles took decisive action, preparing to go to the Habsburg family to congratulate them.
The weight of a half-god is evident, as long as one is not a fool, they understood that this is the top powerhouse on the continent, an existence at the pinnacle of the pyramid, if one can establish a relationship with them, it would bring countless benefits to the family's development.
For a while, the Habsburg Manor became extremely lively, it could be said to be bustling with activity.
Hundreds and thousands of imperial nobles came one after another, and the reception couldn't keep up, but not receiving them would be impolite.
After all, others came to offer their blessings. Rejecting them would be disrespectful.
There was no other way, Rennes had to expand the originally internal family celebration banquet to accommodate all the nobles who came to congratulate, only then was this problem solved.
A week later, after this period of news spreading, the news of Duke Rennes' promotion to half-god completely fermented.
After all, the impact of this matter was too significant, there were only five half-gods in the entire Kukarn Empire, now suddenly there's one more, which would undoubtedly affect the empire's existing structure.
Such a major event, everyone paid close attention to it.
That's why, in a short period of time, the news of a newly promoted half-god spread far and wide within the empire, not only among the nobles, even the merchants and commoners knew about it.
Thanks to this, within the Kukarn Empire, the name of Duke Rennes has become known to everyone and it has even spread to the circles of nobles in other human empires.
So nowadays, there was a constant stream of imperial nobles coming to the Habsburg Manor to establish relationships, dozens of them every day, and most of them are looking to form a marriage alliance.
After all, in the noble world, marriage alliances are always the most effective way to establish relationships.
As long as they are married, everyone becomes relatives. (Damn, smart I guess.)
And in order to climb onto Rennes' powerful leg, these nobles spared no expense, directly bringing over outstanding noble girls from their families who were not originally meant to be married off, among them, there are many high-quality beauties with exceptional talent and cultivation.
In addition to sending beautiful women, these nobles also offered extremely generous dowries, it can be said that they were full of "sincerity".
Regarding this, Rennes naturally couldn't help but be moved, after all, his golden finger needs a large number of high-quality beauties to achieve the greatest effect.
Next, Rennes directly entered a frenzy of taking wives.
Almost every one or two days, he would marry a new wife.
In just one month, Rennes married ten fair-skinned, beautiful, and talented noble young ladies.
Other young nobles were envious and drooling, these talented noble girls are all Divine figures in the Kukarn Empire's noble circle.
On ordinary days, it was very difficult for them to have much contact with others, now they are all taken by Rennes.
You can imagine, what their mood would be like, it's as if they have bitten countless lemons an extremely sour ones, and this scandal has further elevated Rennes' reputation.
After all, whether in the previous life or in this world, matters of love and romance have always been the most eye-catching.
Half a month later,
On this day, envoys from the Kukarn Empire's court arrived at the Eagle's city.
They came to reward Rennes on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.
For a transcendent powerhouse who has reached the half god realm, even the esteemed Kukarn's Emperor attached a great importance to.
After all, the deterrent power of each half god is equivalent to a strategic nuclear weapon in the previous life, it is enough to influence the rise and fall of the empire.
If other human empires were to win them over, the Kukarn Empire would suffer a great loss.
Therefore, winning them over and rewarding them, is the basic routine operation.
This time, the Emperor directly gave Rennes two legendary equipment as well as rare magical materials worth billions of gold coins.
Mithril, secret silver, flawless-grade magic gems...
Everything you could ask for was in there.
In addition to this, he also gave the river bay area adjacent to the Rhine region and the Dork region to Rennes as a fiefdom, his generosity knew no bounds.
In response to the Emperor's kindness, Rennes naturally would not refuse and accepted everything.
After receiving this reward, the Habsburg family became rich overnight and their power greatly increased.
Wealth, fiefdom, and prestige were all in place, coupled with Rennes, this top-tier powerhouse, the Habsburg family officially joined the ranks of the top families in the Kukarn Empire.
However, compared to those top families in the empire, the Habsburg family still had a lot of gaps.
After all, their development time was too short, the current Habsburg family relied solely on Rennes, only when the talented descendants of the family truly grew up, could the Habsburg family truly catch up with those top families in the empire.
In the blink of an eye.
Another two months had passed.
As time went on, this huge storm finally gradually subsided.
Rennes also finally had some free time, no longer busy entertaining those nobles all day long, had more time to spend with his wives and children.
On this day.
At night.
Rennes went to Melita's room, all the children were taken care of by dedicated maids, so there was only Melita in the room.
She was wearing a red dress, leaning against the window, the moonlight fell on her face, she looked exceptionally beautiful and holy.
Hearing Rennes' footsteps, Melita showed no intention of turning around.
In her opinion, Rennes must want her to have another child.
In a situation where she had no strength to resist (and didn't want to resist in her heart). Ignoring Rennes was her last stubbornness.
However, after Rennes walked to her side, he did not do anything to her as she had expected.
Instead, he activated his magic power and cast one seal after another, these seals fell on Melita.
Five top-level magic arrays that suppressed the cultivation of the suppression ring began to reverse their operation.
While stopping the absorption of Melita's suppressed power, they retrieved the special magic threads that entangled her meridians and bones one by one.
"Is he lifting the restrictions for me?"
Feeling this, Melita's eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
To be honest, she didn't expect that Rennes would really keep his promise.
After reaching the half-god realm, he indeed removed the suppression ring for her and restored her strength.
Coming back to her sense, Melita's gaze towards Rennes softened completely.
These two years in fact, she had completely gotten used to the life by Rennes' side.
At the same time, she also developed a special and peculiar feeling towards Rennes.
After all, Rennes was her first man, coupled with his strong power and handsome appearance, he almost perfectly met her requirements for a partner.
Naturally, she couldn't have no feelings for him.
However, as the proud Silver Wolf Princess, even if she became Rennes' captive, she still had her own pride so naturally, she couldn't admit that she had fallen in love with a human.
Therefore, she always maintained her stubborn attitude in front of Rennes.
Of course, this stubborn attitude didn't actually have much effect.
Instead, it made Rennes even more excited. (Bruh, he's like, jokes on you I'm into this.)
However, when she saw that Rennes was really willing to remove the restrictions for her, Melita's heart instantly softened, the emotions suppressed deep in her heart surged up all at once.
In her eyes, Rennes became even more extraordinary and important, this figure that silently occupied her heart.
"And done."
When the suppression ring recovered all the magic threads, Rennes then remove the five suppression rings from Melita's body.
Afterward, he took out a bottle of legendary elixir specifically for restoring cultivation and a pair of legendary curved swords from the spatial ring.
"This is the Soul Battle Elixir. After you take it, you should be able to quickly restore your previous cultivation realm."
"These pair of legendary curved swords are your weapons. They are now returned to their rightful owner."
Without rushing to take them, Melita stared into Rennes' eyes and asked,
"You restored my power and returned my weapons. Aren't you afraid I will harm your wives and children?"
Upon hearing this, Rennes remained calm and said.
"I'm not afraid! Even if you were to do that, I can stop you!"
"And I believe you won't do that. We are already a family, aren't we?"
Upon hearing this, Melita stared blankly into Rennes' eyes, without saying anything more.
After a few seconds, she reached out and took the elixir and weapons from Rennes' hand, she didn't make any promises but this action undoubtedly indicated everything.
"I'm tired, let's rest!"
She put away the elixir and weapons. Blushing, Melita suddenly spoke up, Rennes naturally understood the meaning behind Melita's words.
Without hesitation, he approached her and lifted her up.
Soon enough, strange sounds resembling a cat's meow echoed in the room. (Tf!!)
Today, Melita was different from her usual self.
Very proactive...
