Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
Chapter 84: Brother Lux, Our Baby ls FinallyBorn!

"Brother, say Ahhhh!"

".... Ahhh."

Iris happily spoonfed Lux some apple pie with a sweet smile on her face. Vera looked at his scene happily. Ever since Lux turned ten and Iris turned nine, she had been thinking of pairing the two of them together.

Both of them were her grandchildren and she wanted the two of them to live a happy life together. Fortunately, Iris was more than happy with the idea, and even asked her Grandma to make sure that no other girls became close with Lux while he was in Wildgarde Stronghold.

Truth be told, there were many girls that had a crush on Lux in the stronghold, but their parents told them that it would be better to choose someone else. The first reason was due to Lux's sickly constitution, the other reason being his inability to go to Elysium.

The people of Solaispursued strength, stability, and resources. Lux might be good looking, but that was all he had. He neither had power, stability, nor resources. His good looks made him popular, but good looks and popularity alone wouldn't put food on the table.

When it came to choosing a son-in-law, the parents would prefer men who were strong enough to protect his wife. This was why Lux was not a good prospect in the eyes of those who lived in Wildgarde Stronghold.

But Iris didn't care whether Lux was strong or not. She had fallen in love with him because, although he was sickly, he always played with her and did his best to be there for her whenever her father was away.

Admittedly, Vera also played a vital role in how the two became close because. She always created opportunities for the two of them to always be together.

However, the time they spent together became scarce as Lux focused on his training in order to enter Elysium.

Iris did the same, but her environment was special. As the daughter of a Saint, she was well protected at all times.

Iris' profession was a Beast Tamer, who also specialized in Monster Breeding. The reason Lux came to see her was because there was something that not many people knew about Iris, and that was her unbelievable luck.

It would not be an exaggeration to call her Lady Luck's daughter. If a flock of birds were to drop their poop on a crowd of people. You could be certain that everyone would get hit, except her.

She also stumbled upon monster eggs in the fields and, when she hatched them, rare and legendary monsters would be born 100% of the time.

Right now, Iris had five Beast Companions that she had raised from eggs.

A Blue Dragon, a White Tiger, a Red Phoenix, a Black Turtle, and a Unicorn.

Lux had even joked at one time that if she planned to rule the world, it would definitely become a reality.

After Iris' one-sided display of affection which was sweet enough to rot Lux's teeth, the Half-Elf brought up why he had come to see her.

"An Egg that came from an Alpha Beast?" Iris' eyes sparkled immediately at the mention of the monster egg. "Fufufu. So, Brother came to see me so I could hatch your egg, right?"

"Yes," Lux nodded as he took his egg out of the special storage ring that Vera had given him, which was exclusively used for carrying monster eggs. "Please, help me, Iris."

Iris smiled as she placed the two-foot-tall monster egg on her lap, and lightly caressed its surface.

"I can sense its strong will to live," Iris commented as she closed her eyes. "Don't worry. I will hatch you soon."

The young beauty with light-blue hair smiled as she carried the egg towards the Bestiary. Lux followed behind her because he was quite excited to see the kind of monster that would be born from the egg.

Neither Vera nor Alicia had gone with them because they didn't want to get in the way of the two youngsters.

"Fufufu. Brother Lux, somehow, I feel like I'm going to hatch our baby," Iris said as she placed the egg on an incubator. "So, what would you like to have? A boy or a girl?"

"Um, either one is fine," Lux replied. "As long as they are born healthy."

Because it had been a while since he had seen Iris, Lux had completely forgotten what kind of girl she was. The young beauty beside him was a complete brocon.

However, Iris wasn't just an ordinary brocon. She was the kind of brocon who had the intention of marrying her bro.

Iris smiled as she nodded her head. "Yes. That is the important part. Don't worry, I will make sure to give birth to our baby properly."

Lux was already used to Iris' way of speaking after spending many years with her, so he decided to remain silent and pretend that he didn't hear what she just said.

Iris chanted as her hands wrote runic engravings on the surface of the monster egg. Usually, monster breeders had the ability to inject some of their magical powers, as well as their lifeforce, in order to assist the birth of a monster.

This would ensure that the monster would be born safely and, at times, awaken a rare skill or ability that would set it apart from monsters of its kind, similar to Named Creatures like Diablo and Ishtar.

After she finished her chanting, the egg started to glow, and a small crack appeared on its surface. Soon, the cracks spread until the entire egg was covered by them.

Lux stared at it with bated breath as he thought about the monster that would be born from it.

'Knowing Iris, this will definitely be a mythical monster. Could this be a dragon? Or perhaps a phoenix? Wait. She already has both of them, so what is the thing that is missing from her lineup? The only one I can think of is a Qilin…"

Lux then pushed this thought aside because the egg finally split apart revealing the monster inside it.

"Brother Lux, our baby is finally born!" Iris happily picked up the monster and gave her a kiss. "Isn't she cute? Um, from now on, your name will be Eiko."

The newly born monster, Eiko, pressed her body against Iris' right cheek, as if returning the kiss that she gave her.

Lux, on the other hand, looked at the monster in Iris' hand with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

He was expecting that he would get a mythical or legendary Alpha Beast, after getting Iris' help, but the monster that had been hatched was a very common monster, which made Lux question whether Iris had somehow used up all of her luck hatching her own beast companions.

"Brother Lux, isn't she adorable?" Iris asked as she presented the baby monster to Lux.

"Y-Yes," Lux replied. "She looks so… jiggly."

Iris giggled as she once again planted a kiss on the baby monster before placing her in Lux's hands.

The Half-Elf stared at Eiko, and Eiko stared back at him.

This was their first meeting, and it also marked the start of Eiko's journey alongside Lux, as they explored the world where miracles, and wishes, could become a reality.
