Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 97 The Name of the Witch

"I can understand it more easily with your explanation," Sulian said.

Understand what? Nalin was a bit puzzled.

The expressions of Polly and Ivy also changed differently.

"Father, I once asked you why Mother's name is so different. You told me that Cobb is Mother's surname, and Elosa and Miranda are the clan surnames of Father and Mother respectively. When people from two different clans get married, the clan surnames of both sides will be combined."

"The clan surname is usually inherited from the father's side. This is the custom of Mother's original clan. Mother is not from our Kingdom of Aivisu."

"This explanation is also very reasonable."

Sulian roughly recalled and said, this explanation that he once thought had some unreasonable aspects.

Mother's full name:

Ivy Cobb Elosa Miranda.

"The prerequisite is that Grandma also belongs to a clan with a clan surname."

"And if that's the case, then Mother's appearance should conform to that kind of ethnic group. That is, it should be more in line with the characteristics of a nomadic people."

"Obviously, Mother is an 'exception', an exception with no relevant characteristics at all."

Sulian slowly and very clearly stated his speculation.

In fact, he had noticed it for a long time.

In this world, the human ethnic groups with clan surnames basically come from nomadic countries where grasslands are everywhere.

On the commercial travel ships in the port, he had also seen people from those ethnic groups. In terms of their subtle appearance characteristics, Mother hardly has any of them.

At the same time, the most crucial point is...

That is, his mother, Ivy, since he started remembering things at the age of two, her beautiful appearance has hardly changed.

Except for being naturally beautiful and not looking old easily, there is only the explanation of being a long-lived species.

Then...

"Then according to Sister Cielily's name, can I guess that perhaps the surname 'Cobb' really comes from Grandpa, but the subsequent Elosa Miranda."

"It should be changed to..."

"Sha Marita, right?"

Sulian looked at his father and mother and asked calmly.

...

Cielily's full name is Cellie Hay Marita.

If it conforms to Sulian's speculation, then.

Mother's full name should be: Ivy Cobb Sha Marita.

Replace Elosa with Sha;

Replace Miranda with Marita which has a similar syllable;

...

"Wow, Aunt Ivy, your Lyndel is so smart," Cielily said in surprise.

At the same time, it can be regarded as an approval of Sulian's speculation.

The expressions of Father and Mother both looked a bit helpless.

Nalin still had some small doubts.

"Is there any special rule for the surnames of you witches?" Nalin asked curiously.

"Yes. In our extremely ancient legends of the witch clan, we, who have the strongest magic talent in the world, were originally born from seven legendary witches, and they represent the seven main elements."

"Each of us witches has one of the surnames representing these elements. Mine is 'Hay', representing the water element."

"Aunt Ivy's is 'Sha', representing the earth element."

"Of course, this is just what it represents, not that we are necessarily particularly good at the corresponding element."

"After all, there is no element attribute that we are not good at."

Cielily couldn't help but laugh at the end.

"What about 'Marita'?" Nalin continued to ask.

She didn't care about Cielily's last bit of showing off.

"That's the 'Magic Spirit Tree surname' that has evolved in the subsequent various reproductions and inheritances for me and Aunt Ivy." Cielily said.

"Magic Spirit Tree surname?" Nalin asked.

"This has to do with our way of reproduction. We witches will plant a 'Magic Spirit Tree' in different regions according to our place of residence. The most important nutrient for the Magic Spirit Tree is our witch blood. It will use the nourishment of the witch blood to bear the 'Spirit Birth' frui

t."

"Witches in the appropriate pregnancy period will go and swallow a Spirit Birth fruit to reproduce offspring in this way."

"And it's also useful to swallow the Spirit Birth fruits from other witches' regions. But the surname will change at that time."

Cielily explained.

...

Is this the way of reproduction?

Sulian understood it quite quickly.

If it is understood according to the legend of the Mother River in the Land of Women, witches can plant a Mother River, that is, a "Magic Spirit Tree" by themselves in an area.

One Magic Spirit Tree represents one surname.

The Magic Spirit Tree is nourished by the blood of all the witches in this area. Even if there is something like genetic information in this magical otherworld, there is no need to worry about it being too single. Of course, whether there is such a problem, the biological research in this world has

not reached that level yet.

In addition, with the long lifespan of witches, they can completely go to any other region and eat the Spirit Birth fruit to get pregnant.

This unique way of "bloodline" interlacing is also their means of reproduction.

That is to say...

Each witch has one of the seven surnames. Cielily and Ivy have Hay and Sha respectively.

At the same time, they, at least Grandma and Cielily who were born in this way, are all witches from the same region.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Their Magic Spirit Tree surname is - Marita.

...

"What a magical way of reproduction," Nalin said in surprise.

She didn't understand as quickly as Sulian, but she was smart enough to figure it out quickly.

"Does that mean Sister Cielily and I really have a kind of kinship?" Sulian couldn't help but joke, somewhat trying to relieve the current awkward atmosphere on his own initiative.

"You can put it that way," Cielily smiled. "But at least dozens of witches use their blood to nourish one Magic Spirit Tree. According to the blood relationship of other races, it can at most be regarded as a distant relative level."

Obviously, they are indeed related, but this relationship is much more distant than distant aunts and uncles.

"However, according to our witch clan's habit of resetting the seniority every ten thousand years to ensure that the reproduction speed of witches in different regions doesn't vary too much."

"Coincidentally, Aunt Ivy is indeed of my aunt's seniority, and you and I are of the same generation. So I didn't call you wrong when I asked you to call me sister."

"Although we are cousins with an extremely thin blood relationship, hehe."

Cielily showed her familiar innocent smile, and her mental age is like her appearance.

"That's really a coincidence," Sulian smiled.

He roughly understood their habits in his heart.

Resetting the seniority every ten thousand years. Even if the living areas of witches are far apart, after the settlement every ten thousand years, they will know whether the reproduction speed in that area is too fast or too slow.

If there is no major problem, it will continue for another ten thousand years. For areas with too fast or too slow reproduction speed, the reproduction speed can be adjusted in the next ten thousand years.

As for whether there are any consequences of being too fast or too slow, one needs to study the witch race in depth to understand.

Obviously, this is not the time to study it in depth.

...

"So, now."

"Father, Mother, do you want me to ask Sister Cielily myself, or should I try to guess and perfect the issue of my and Sylvie's origins?"

"Regarding the origin of the witch clan."

Sulian asked calmly, looking at Ivy and Polly.

He also looked at Sylvie, who still didn't understand anything and was still looking at Cielily curiously.
