A Ranger's senses were very sharp. Aurelia, who had woken up first, immediately noticed the changes in herself. It was a new life that belonged to both her and Duque. In her lower abdomen, there was a wind elemental blessing of light and nature.
"Duque … I …" Not knowing what to say, Aurelia hugged Duque tightly and kissed him passionately. After a long time, their lips parted. "Ten months later, then …"
Duque gently pressed his index finger against his lover's red lips. "Ten months definitely won't do. That means I'll lose you forever."
"Ah! This … "
He woke Sasha up as well. With Duque's explanation, the Windrunner sisters finally understood why ten months wouldn't do.
It wasn't like ordinary humans and High Elves didn't have interracial love in the 2800 years of the alliance between humans and elves. Not to mention the more recent ones, there was Gina Goldsword who had given birth to King Daelin Proudmoore's illegitimate daughter.
Generally speaking, pregnancy was the same as a human's.
The key was that Duque had already surpassed the limits of humans. If he wanted to give birth to a child, he had to abide by the laws of the world of Azeroth. The more powerful the existence at the top of the food chain, the more difficult it was to give birth to a similarly powerful descendant.
This was quite demanding of parents.
For example, Nethario, the Wing of Death, had slapped so many female Black Dragons and killed them all. Only the strongest Sinestra survived, which was why Nefarian and Onyxia, who were both demigods, were born.
Similarly, Elune, the Goddess of the Moon, couldn't find a suitable true god as a partner. She could only marry the strongest demigod, Malorne, and give birth to the demigod Cenarius.
Of course, the descendants of existences who had stepped into the realm of gods were more about the inheritance of power and energy, not ordinary reproduction. The most effective way was naturally for both sides to contribute a portion of their power or divine power and combine them together, so that their descendants could directly become demigods.
It was not impossible to slack off. It was like pouring soy sauce into water. You could make do with whatever you wanted.
If Duque didn't want his descendants to really do nothing, he had to put in more effort.
From a mortal's point of view, Aurelia was very strong. It was a pity that Duque's soul was an oddity. Unless one became a Demigod, it would be impossible for him to have any descendants. This indirectly increased the requirements.
If a mortal woman wanted to give birth to a Demigod, she would not be able to satisfy the energy needed for her offspring in minutes. She would die of exhaustion.
Now that the war was imminent, and Aurelia and Sasha were unwilling to wait any longer, Duque could only purposely extend the incubation period. This would give his descendants more time to absorb energy and grow.
"What? At least three years? "The Windstalker sisters' mouths pouted, so much so that a soy sauce bottle could be hung from it.
Duque shrugged. "It's already very fast, and that's taking into account that you have to stay in the magic array for a few days every month. It can't be helped. I'm a Demigod of the Magic Element, and most of my children are Magic Element as well. If I don't replenish enough Magic Element, just relying on your own Elemental Absorption ability won't be enough. Oh, also, you are forbidden from participating in C 'Thun's upcoming battle. I don't want the Medivh incident to happen again. Azeroth can't afford another Dark Portal incident. "
The Windrunner sisters opened their mouths. They were in pain and helplessness.
Aegwynn had claimed to have killed Sargeras, but in the end, she found out that Sargeras' soul had run into her stomach and taken over her son's soul. That was how the Dark Portal incident happened.
If there was a precedent, and someone killed C 'Thun and was possessed by C' Thun, that would be a waste of their intelligence. It would be too tragic.
"Duque, is there any other way …" Sasha asked weakly.
"There is! Don't have children before the world is at peace. "
"No! We must have children! "Aurelia and Sasha said at the same time.
Then, they entered a magical grieving mode.
"It's over! We can't go to the battlefield for three years. "
"My bow and arrows!"
"The days when I couldn't sleep and went to the Void Battlefield to hunt …"
"Everything is for the children."
"Sob sob sob!"
The two sisters hugged each other. The scene was unbearable to look at. They even warned Duque fiercely not to have any thoughts of getting them to abort the children. Otherwise, they would fall out with Duque.
"Alright … You chose the path." Duque sighed. He rubbed his brows and left the room.
Women became mothers the moment they became pregnant, but it was a long and slow process for men to become fathers. Men would not feel like they had children if they did not see their children jumping around and demolishing houses.
Duque was very busy. After a rare peaceful sleep, he had no choice but to turn on his daily work mode the next morning.
The adjustments to the Weave had not been completed, and there were many things that Khadgar could not decide. He could only ask Duque.
After the Twin Emperors reached a tacit agreement with him, things like the Twin Emperors being captured began to happen, causing their control over the insectoids to decline. For example, in a 'coincidental' situation, some people in the Alliance found that as long as they held a kind of crystal that was nicknamed 'insectoid crystal', they could summon a four-legged insectoid of the same color. With a thought, as long as they were willing to wait, it would not take long for the insectoid to run over and wait for orders.
Not only were they willing to be mounts, but they would also obey orders even if they were told to attack their own kind.
Of course, these insectoids that could be used as mounts did not have much combat power, and were only slightly better than human militias. When faced with formally trained warriors, their fragile long legs that could be easily cut off by standard steel swords were not enough.
Even so, it was a wonderful experience. A few days ago, the two great formations that were still fighting to the death and would not stop until one side was dead had now completely surrendered.
After noon, Duque had his lunch. When he finished patrolling Naxxramas Fortress and returned to the main control room, he found that many women were looking at him strangely, and most of them were high elves.
Some had seductive looks, as if they wanted to swallow him up.
Some were shy and unbearable, but also seemed to be unable to restrain their curiosity, not daring to look at him, but glancing at him from time to time.
Duque had a headache. After returning to his office, he saw that no one was around and pulled Vanessa over, "Hey! What the hell is going on today? Why is every woman looking at me strangely … "
"Woo woo woo! You finally can't stand it? Marcus the Beast Duke, oh, Your Majesty the Beast Demigod Marcus. You finally can't control your beastly nature, and you want to lay your hands on your lovely and gentle maid? Woo woo woo – although I used to be lucky and thought that you still had humanity and conscience, I didn't expect … woo woo woo – "Vanessa rubbed her eyes with her hands and howled dryly.
Looking at his maid's instant acting, and then looking at his bastard chicken leg staff, three crows suddenly appeared. "Caw, caw, caw!" Duque felt an unusual pain in the ass.
Damn it! I don't know if I should say something …
