"This level of war is too dangerous. I'm sorry, but I can't not agree to this cooperation."

Upon hearing Roland's response, Igor was somewhat shocked. In his opinion, Roland should not have reacted that way.

After all, it had been a very rare opportunity, and how could nobles let go of any chance to rise?

For nobles, increasing their rank was of paramount importance. Any opportunity that arrived needed to be seized with everything they had.

The last war at the kingdom level had been over ten years ago. If they miss this opportunity, the chance to be promoted through military achievements might have to wait a long time.

"Baron Roland, won't you reconsider?"

Coming back to his senses, Igor persisted and spoke again.

The reason he wanted Roland to join was because he had heard of Roland's feat of slaying the advanced mutant monster, the Flaming Tiger.

With such combat power joining them, their safety on the battlefield would have been greatly enhanced. Secondly, his wealth would also have aided them in times of need.

"No need to consider! My wife was about to give birth soon, and I didn't want to go out."

Roland waved his hand, refusing to succumb to temptation. He also advised them not to take such a big risk that could lead to death.

Seeing Roland's resolute attitude, Igor and the other two had no choice. They could only give up. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Roland,

the three of them left with their guards.

Since the cooperation with Roland didn't work out, they could only think of ways to recruit other nobles.

As for considering Roland's advice, none of them took it seriously.

......

After seeing Igor and the others off, Roland's life returned to tranquility.

Two weeks later, Janet entered the delivery room again.

After about ten minutes, accompanied by the cry of a baby, Roland's fourth child was born.

He didn't know if the advanced magic potion that Roland had bought for Janet before had had an effect, or if it had just been good luck.

The talent of this child was exceptionally high!

[Detected the birth of the host's 4th child. The magic aptitude of this offspring was average, while the fighting spirit aptitude was high. Evaluation: D rank]

[Reward: 50 years of fighting spirit cultivation, average fighting spirit aptitude, 6-star martial art - Berserk Dragon Technique Combination.]

"These rewards are luxurious."

Roland's face was full of joy. Fifty years of fighting spirit cultivation went without saying.

The key was the fighting spirit aptitude.

His fighting spirit aptitude had been poor. Just enough to step into the paths of cultivation and reach Beginner Master Knight. To reach Intermediate, he needs a miracle and the luck of several lifetimes.

Even if he had worked hard to cultivate for more than his life, he might not have been able to catch up with the progress of a genius cultivating for a few years. year.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

The improvement in aptitude was like being able to keep up with the pace of a genius.

Most importantly, Roland had found through experiments that the amount of fighting spirit cultivation rewarded by the system had also been calculated based on how many years he had cultivated according to his aptitude. That was why the previous amount had been like a drop in the bucket.

If his aptitude could reach the level of a true genius, the one-year fighting spirit cultivation rewarded by the birth of an F-rank child would have been more than ten times higher in quality than before.

Secondly, once a person went past advanced, he could directly take in the Qi in the atmosphere without converting to battle force.

One needed to remember that as the person took the qi and converted to a battle force, the efficiency of conversion was quite low.

As for why they had needed to convert it, Roland, after some research, had found that the battle force was nothing but a fancy name for chemical energy stored in the body but unlike his world, humans can manipulate this energy. And human bodies hadn't been strong enough to harness qi at the beginning.

So it could be said to be a wave of improvement, benefiting him for a lifetime.

And the 6-star martial art - Berserk Dragon Fighting Spirit, he needed no further explanation.

As the foundation of a warrior, fighting spirit cultivation had been much more precious than combat skills.

In the Jin region where he had been now, the most powerful noble family, the Rey family, had only had a 6-star martial art - Frozen Fighting Spirit in their hidden collection.

The higher the level of martial arts cultivated, the higher the quality of the fighting spirit.

If the fighting spirit cultivated from a 1-star martial art had been compared to a sword, then the fighting spirit cultivated from a 6-star martial art would have been like a bomb.

In terms of power, the latter had completely crushed the former. The two had been fundamentally incomparable. And each increase had brought about exponential growth in strength.

"Accept the rewards."

Roland had impatiently given the order in his heart.

The next second, Roland had felt his body sublimating.

The meridians in his body had continued to expand and strengthen.

Harder and more robust.

The efficiency of taking in Qi and converting to battle force had increased by more than ten times compared to before.

After the body transformation had been completed.

Information about the Berserk Dragon Qi technique and the breathing pattern to use this had been integrated into his brain.

According to the information, the Qi cultivated from this technique not only possessed the power of a dragon but also had a formidable destructive force that could shatter everything.

Even when cultivated to a profound realm, it had been able to enhance the physique to a level comparable to that of a lower-level dragon.

"It's too powerful!"

Recalling the information in his mind, Roland couldn't help but feel amazed.

The current breathing technique he had been currently cultivating had been a 2-star technique, which had been nothing compared to the 6-star technique.

Without hesitation, he immediately activated the technique. Converting all of his battle force Qi into the Berserk Dragon battle force that churned turning into Qi.

At the same time, he had incorporated the fifth year of Qi cultivation into his body.

Strength had surged through his body, followed by a sharp influx of pain. Muscles had bulged, and pores had started sucking the qi, converting it to battle force.

After completely digesting this fifty years of Dou Qi cultivation, Roland's knight rank had directly reached the 9th rank. Leaping from an intermediate knight to the level of a peak advanced-level Master knight in one go.

Although this level of strength hadn't been considered much on the Roland Continent, it had already been quite good in the Jim Kingdom.

The strongest in the Jin Kingdom had been only a 14th-rank Legendary Knight.

If he could have gone further and broken through to the 10th rank, becoming a Transcendent Knight, he would have truly become one of the strongest in the Jin Kingdom.

By then, it would have been easy to elevate his noble title.

As long as a Transcendent Knight-level powerhouse had been willing to pledge allegiance to the king, they had automatically received the title of Count and the corresponding territory.

After digesting the rewards from this time.

With an excited heart, Roland had walked into the delivery room. At first glance, Roland had seen Janet holding the baby in her arms.

"Roland, this is a boy, our first child! Look how cute he is!"

Janet had said with joy on her face.

"No matter how cute he is, he's not as cute as you."

Roland had taken the baby in his arms and had said with a smile.

"You always use sweet words to deceive me!"

That's what she had said, but Janet had had a sweet smile on her face.

......

Three months later.

Janet's body had recovered its vitality.

Roland and his wife had resumed their days working hard during the day and partaking in sensual bliss at night. Though Janet had been quite averse to giving birth before, she had always co-operated.

During that time, Roland had felt something amiss.

After months of trying and plowing, there had been still no sign of a baby in Janet's belly. It hadn't been that he had wanted another badly rather he had felt something might have been wrong with her that had worried her. Though Roland had used natural methods and had taken measures to prevent pregnancy, there was been no 100% guarantee.

So, Roland had invited a priest from the Church of Life to examine her.

According to the divine examination results, it seemed that Janet's fertility had been significantly affected due to prolonged pregnancy.

She had needed to take it easy and slowly recover.

She couldn't have gotten pregnant again in the short term.

Faced with this result, Roland had found it difficult to accept. Still, he had heaved in relief. At least, his wife had been all right.

Janet hadn't been too saddened by it, but she had noticed her husband's sadness that he had masked away.

After all…

If it hadn't been for satisfying her husband's desire to expand the family bloodline, she would have stopped having children long ago.

She had been somewhat pleased that she couldn't have gotten pregnant in the short term.

"Roland, I can't help you have children now."

"How about you marry another woman?"

Roland had eyed Janet with a suspicious gaze.

'What is this? A test?'

'Am I going to be kicked out?'

"I don't mind! You can find some more sisters."

After a storm, Janet had laid in Roland's arms and had suddenly spoken up.

She had known how much her husband had desired children. In order to not affect their marital relationship, she hadn't minded if her husband had found other women to help him have children.

However, seeing her voluntary agreement, Roland senses which had been honed by the interactions of the 21st-century girls, screamed for danger.
