Chapter 96: Servant Selection Card
[The top participants were in awe of your speech. They have decided to follow you! Rewards: 2000 Fate Points, and Servant Selection Card x1!]
Fredrinn returned to his study with a satisfied look on his face.
"Now, let's see if my guess was right." He muttered as he took out the Servant Selection Card from his inventory. It was a purple card with the image of a kneeling person.
[Do you want to use the card?]
[Yes] [No]
After clicking [Yes], a wide selection of humanoid species was displayed on the screen.

Fredrinn smiled when he saw this. He had guessed it right. The Servant Selection Card allows him to choose one servant from the list displayed by the system.
'These elves are really talented. All of them have high-grade spirit roots at the least. The only issue is their personality. They are incredibly arrogant beings and it might affect my plans if they act up. Hmm…' Fredrinn pondered deeply.
He sorted out the selection and removed those with low-grade and intermediate-grade spirit roots. He also removed those who were too old.

Among the selection of servants, he was most attracted to the last two. One had an excellent-grade spirit root, while the other was a 10th layer Nascent Soul martial practitioner. Fredrinn was very tempted to choose the dragonkin because of his high cultivation, but he felt that the half-human half-sky race had a higher potential. This left him in a dilemma.
'Which one should I choose?' He scratched his head and pondered deeply.
The Blackcrow Household was already destroyed so the Firecrown Household was safe for the time being. Choosing the half-human half-sky race was ideal since the family would be peaceful for the next few years.
After racking his brain, he clicked on one of the displayed profiles.
A moment later, the sound of a baby crying echoed in his study.
Fredrinn went into daddy mode to pacify the anxious baby. He lifted the baby girl and let her rest on his chest while gently rubbing her back. "Relax. I will take care of you from now on…"
Fredrinn took a closer look at the baby. Her purple eyes reflected the image of the galaxy, looking incredibly beautiful. Her hair and eyebrows were as white as snow, making her look like a little angel. On her back, he noticed a pair of protrusions which he believed were her wings.
"You are a beautiful little angel…" He smiled unknowingly.
"What should I name you? Hmm…"
"You are from the sky race and your hair is white… I'll give you the name Avariel Firecrown… From now on, you are my child…" Fredrinn stroked the little angel's head and kissed her.
"Apa!" The little girl smiled.
"Eh? Did you just call me 'papa'?" Fredrinn grinned and rewarded her with a kiss.
While he was playing with Avariel, he suddenly heard a series of knocks on his door.
He raised his eyebrows. "We have a visitor, Avariel."
He went to open the door while carrying the little girl in his arms.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Roland and Margaret standing outside. His eyes widened in surprise. However, the couple were more surprised than him.
"Whose child is that?" Roland muttered while pointing at the little girl. Meanwhile, Margaret covered her mouth with her hands while staring at Fredrinn suspiciously.
"Ah… this is…" Fredrinn was flustered for a moment, but his face soon broke into a smile. "This is my daughter, Avariel…"
Hearing this, the couple were stunned.
"You mean she is your child?"
"That's right…" Fredrinn nodded.
"Then what about her mother?" Roland furrowed his eyebrows.
Fredrinn sighed and showed the protrusions on the little girl's back. "She is a half-human half-sky race. Someone with a human bloodline like her is not accepted by the sky race. They won't accept her…" He could only tell them vaguely since Avariel was a product of the system. Saying more might expose its existence.
Roland and Margaret sighed.
The sky race was very strict with their bloodline so they were only few in numbers. They refused to copulate with other species since they believed that it would weaken their bloodline. It was said that they would kill their children with half bloodline so it was rare to see someone with half-sky race blood.
"What a pitiful child." Margaret stretched her arms.
Fredrinn understood the assignment. He carefully handed the child to her.
Margaret smiled as she caressed the baby's face. "What is her name?" She asked.
"Avariel…" Fredrinn responded.
Looking at the beautiful child, Roland felt conflicted. Fredrinn wasn't even married and the worst part was the child was motherless. "I believe you know what it means to acknowledge her as your daughter when you are not even married."
Fredrinn knew the meaning behind his words. "I know. I won't let anyone bully my child!" He was determined to raise her as his child.
Roland smiled and patted his shoulder. "Then you must raise her well."
"Yes, father." Fredrinn nodded with a look of determination. "By the way, why did you two visit me at this hour?" He asked.
The couple stared at each other in embarrassment. In the end, it was Margaret who replied. "Actually, we just want to know if there's a girl you like. You are already in the right age to marry so we want to know your plans."
Fredrinn chuckled. "So it's about that… Come in. Let's talk inside…"
