Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2169: 0467 Twilight Demon King! (Big chapter for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

A month later.

A small wedding was held on the Ancient Dragon Continent, and Levi mused that yet another member of their group had settled life’s major events, evoking a sort of parental pride from his past life.

The Dark Moon Knight was a level 6 knight, paired with Calona, the primordial soul witch, truly a match made in heaven.

After their wedding, the couple eagerly set out to have children. For them, reaching level 6 meant entering a new phase; levels 7 and 8 were yet uncharted territories, necessitating offspring to inherit their bloodlines and legacies early.

The knight bloodline aspect was largely assured, only varying in concentration, but wizarding talent remained an unknown factor.

However, historical research from the Wizard World suggested that children born to primordial soul witches were often imbued with the affinity talent, and the odds of birthing talented offspring were not low.

It is seen that most top-level geniuses are the descendants of dual primordial souls.

Regarding having children, Levi also discussed this with Elena, and after a thorough discussion, they reached a surprising consensus:

For now, they wouldn’t have any.

Firstly, both of them were currently focused on cultivation, aiming for level 9 or even legendary status. Given their potential, this wasn’t a mere fantasy.

Secondly, both had busy schedules, making it hard to care for offspring, let alone accompany them. Leaving them entirely in the care of servants would turn the kids into “latchkey children,” which was clearly irresponsible.

Besides these reasons, they simply weren’t inclined towards having children at the moment.

Otherwise, Levi, with his Lovers Rune ability, could have children even if their Dragon Clan’s bloodlines were difficult to merge.

They’ve thought about it, though—if the Hundred Flowers reached level 9, or if Levi attained legendary status, once either condition was met, they would consider having children. There was no need to delay until reaching an invincible state in the universe.

Even though he wasn’t planning on having children anytime soon, Levi consistently encouraged the Eighteen Riders and Dusk Holy Temple members to start families at suitable stages and leave behind bloodline inheritances.

The path of knights is fundamentally about bloodline inheritance; nothing is more befitting for growth and expansion than natural procreation.

He even established a complete set of rewards and measures to encourage childbirth. Considering the current resources and wealth of the organization, even offspring with limited talent could live and work comfortably in the mortal settlements on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Under such measures, most of the ordinary knights had, except for those solely dedicated to cultivation, established their own families, thereby forming many small knight families on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Centuries of proliferation later, talented descendants from these knight families could enter the Dusk Holy Temple for learning, while the average ones could secure minor positions in the mortal settlements, aiding in the protection of mortals and maintenance of order.

Fearing the potential for familial power abuses as seen in past kingdoms, which could disrupt the social order, these knight families primarily served to produce knight seedlings, ensuring bloodlines continued with little power or influence.

The same principles applied to wizard families and transcendent families, as Levi manipulated the familial concepts on the Ancient Dragon Continent to align with the organization’s collective ideals.

Among the 18 Twilight Cavalry, the Golden Lion Knight and the Divine Light Knight had been partners for a long time; though they hadn’t held a wedding, they were already a couple in practice.

In the Yellow Earth Continent, when the “Old Golden Lion” was around, he frequently urged his beloved son, dreaming of grandchildren.

As a filial person with a strong family sense, the Golden Lion had long since had two daughters and a son with the Divine Light.

Among the two daughters, one inherited the [Golden Lion Bloodline], while the other inherited the [Peacock Bloodline]. The youngest son’s luck was unfortunate; inheriting both bloodlines simultaneously led to a near-fatal conflict, and while he was saved, he lost his bloodline inheritance. Such occurrences were common in inter-familial marriages among different knight families. During the Doomsday Era, many knight families opted for close kin marriages or used mortals as reproductive tools to avoid the so-called “bloodline curse.”

However, with the evolution of knight civilization, the knights of the Dusk Holy Temple came to understand that the bloodline curse was merely a bloodline conflict, which was later resolved. Now, different bloodline knight combinations can stably inherit one side’s bloodline. Achieving the inheritance of both bloodlines without conflicts remains a significant research challenge for the Dusk Holy Temple.

The Golden Lion Knight’s two daughters are gifted, both having reached level 1 knight status and officially joining the Dusk Holy Temple, embarking on their own journeys. Although the youngest son didn’t inherit a knight bloodline, he possesses a Dual Affinity Talent and an extraordinary talent [Frost Breath], placing him on par with talents like Anya and Sorrett, with great potential for a promising primordial soul if he diligently cultivates.

Since the youngest son did not inherit the Golden Lion Bloodline, the Golden Lion Knight, respecting the Divine Light, was keen on having another son. Yet, transcendent beings are not mere reproductive tools; on the contrary, compared to mortals, their unions and offspring entail greater consumption, sometimes severely affecting their cultivation, so the couple wasn’t in a hurry about the matter.

The situation of the Goddess Knight and Saint Ape Knight was similar.

After the Goddess Knight advanced to level 6, the couple began seriously considering having children, especially the Goddess Knight, who felt that level 6 might be her limit and she might not keep up with Emperor Mu in the future. Hence, she wanted to leave behind a talented offspring to accompany Emperor Mu.
