Mei Mi was alone, and she hid herself like a she-cat in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is what she knew when she was just a priest of Flo and when she was messing with thieves, a secret room in a mansion, between the walls, the thief who knew the secret had been killed by her own hands, and many years ago, no mage would have summoned a thief's soul who didn't know if it was still in the mourning wasteland to find her whereabouts. And with Gülen's current power in the Highlands Norman, even if she is the female lord of the Azores, Drake's mother may not dare to do anything to her, but Memmy still can't trust anyone but Gülen.

Anyone who saw this secret room would be astonished at the contrast between the embarrassment, the darkness and the dampness, and the extravagant decorations—of course, this cramped room had no windows, and the air circulated only through the gaps between the stone tiles, but Mei Mi brought the best and least noticeable things she could get, the fist-sized fluorite lit up the space like day, the soft and thick white bear fur, the blanket made of bird fluff, water, snow, and she carried no food. Although it was her first childbirth, she had seen more than one birth scene before this, and Pastor Flo was not allowed to enter into a marriage contract, but because of various accidents, or because they were so devout that they were willing to add a new follower to Flo, they would have just the same birth—the young Reverend Flo was not as honored as the children of the outside world to avoid seeing such bloody scenes, and the priests had to run and run to serve while they were busy with births and deliveries.

Memmy remembered every passage, every node, every breath and every cry so clearly, that even though she was now an adult, she still inevitably trembled at these memories, and she lay on her back on her fur, waiting for the pains to come, and with a smile on her lips, she could not believe that one day she would be stupid enough to give birth to a man—hadn't she seen all the pain and danger of childbirth? A sturdy baby tears its mother's body when it descends into the world, and a weak baby tears its mother's heart when it leaves the world, and the child who dies in its mother's womb is either turned into filthy blood or a rotten, stinking ball of flesh that must be broken up and dragged out piece by piece like a minor child like Mei Mi (whose hands are small enough), and put together when they are finished, so as not to leave a piece in the belly. It is said that because the child is also a part of the mother's body, even if it is a miracle, it will not distinguish it from the mother, and if a piece is left in the womb, it will become a cancer, and the breath emitted will make the suffering woman suffer from unbearable abdominal pain all day long.

Young Reverend Flo had secretly sworn that she would never let herself suffer from childbirth, and that the ointment she had made was the best in the temple, and for that reason even after being banished by her mother, there were still priests who would trade them for precious jewels, even when she shared the bed with Berdwin, she did not forget, but when she was with Gülen...... At first, she had forgotten "unintentionally", and then, "intentionally", and she would never forget Glenn's expression when she knew that he and she were going to have a child—the usual gloom and poison of the thief left his face, like the sun driving out the clouds, he gasped in disbelief, then his eyes lit up, then the corners of his lips that could not be suppressed, he held Memy up in the air, and they whirled and danced around the room, pressing each other's faces against each other's shoulders and chests to suppress laughter.

Ah, how precious and rare a child is to their dark, hard, humble and dangerous lives - this is not an abominable and disgusted child of accidents (like Glenn), nor a proof of tool and piety (like Meme), it is conceived in anticipation, born in longing, and it is because of this that Glenn leaves Memy at all times, and his ambition has shifted from being the leader of a thief's guild to the court.

He wanted a knighthood, dressed in silk and velvet, with a crown and a ring, and walked down the street with Mei Mi in his arms, and people bowed to them when they saw them, and their children were born nobles of noble status and pure blood, and even Gülen, who had always been calm and self-controlled, could not help but show a look of intoxication at the thought of this.

But apart from the current Norman in the Highlands, even the corrupt southern kingdoms would not appoint a fatherless and motherless thief as a knight, or even a lord, not to mention that his wife, like him, also crawled out of the stinking mire, even if he had wealth and power? It was dark, and it couldn't be flaunted in the daytime, but Leona was different from Berdwin's Norman, who was still an unidentified lowly civilian hunter, and maybe his mother's identity was not even as good as that of Memi, at least Mami still had the name of a priest of Frow, but if it was among the mountain people, even if she was not a prostitute, it was a very normal thing for a woman to circulate among dozens or hundreds of men.

Glenn would get the glory he deserved, and Memi inhaled deeply, her pain had become more frequent and regular, and every slight movement (breath) brought unbearable pain - maybe when Glenn returned, they could study how to turn it into a frightening torture? Flo's priest thought bitterly, she lowered her head to observe her situation, groped her hand to inspect the open passage, the narrow touch told her that it was still early, Memi wiped her fingers on the fur, picked up a bottle of snow honey and poured it into her mouth without hesitation— If it was seen by a spellcaster, it would definitely be a wasteful use of beating its chest, but its effect was immediate, the pain immediately became mild, and even Mei Mi's mood strangely stabilized, on the contrary, she could feel every subtle movement of the fetus in her womb, it seemed to be very patient, still sucking her thumb, and there was no urgency that newborns often have.

Memmy lasted all night, and half of the day, which Glenn had brought from another mage to keep time. Seeing it, Memi couldn't help but think of another spellcaster, the black-haired Dragonborn, and to be honest, when Glenn told her that, Memy was surprised, Cremar didn't look like a Dragonborn at all- It wasn't that Memy hadn't seen the Dragonborn, and their blood might be so shallow that even the most pointy-nosed rat might not be able to smell it, but they were so arrogant and arrogant, dirty, not so much golden as yellow eyes with an evil and obscene glint that Flo's priests were not willing to serve such people at all, because if one was not careful, not only would they not get the reward they deserved, but even their own lives would be inexplicably thrown on the bed.

Still a noble descendant of pure blood, Memmy added, a highness, if Glen can't get a knighthood from Norman, he has to try Grenada, but the problem is that Grenada's lord is awe-inspiring, hated by them, and a little nosy, and their heads are often prey to righteous priests and rangers. "It's better to be Norman in the Highlands. She said to herself, and then a sharp pain drowned out all her feelings.

In the midst of the long agony, Memmy would occasionally close her eyes, and when she felt her heart twitch and she couldn't control herself from calling out Glenn's name, she would imagine Glenn wearing a knight's attire, a red velvet hat studded with jewels and silver balls, a wide mink fur, a ridiculous leotard, and a curved boot tip—almost everyone would look ridiculous when they wore it. It's like a clown, but Gülen will be different, he should have had this identity, after all, no one knows who his father is, maybe he was a lord in the first place?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This is the third day, even with snow honey, potions, warm fur, and the body that has been used by the gods, Mei Mi is still in a dangerous stupor, she is holding a rune in her hand, this is a last, forced measure, once the rune is activated, there will be a mage who can barely get their trust to rush here, but if she can, Mei Mi does not want to use it at all.

She muttered a prayer to Flo, a habit almost instinctively engraved for twenty years, and of course, no god would answer her, and when she was a little more sober she prayed to Gredi, to whom she had sacrificed, and who, as a god, should protect her and her children.

But when her prayer was answered, Memi suddenly came to her senses as if she had been pierced in the abdomen, and she looked in horror at the second person in the chamber, who looked like an evil and gorgeous fruit from a dark vine, appearing silently, and the pressure emanating from her body made it almost impossible for Memi to breathe- She had never seen a woman with such a gorgeous face, her posture was even better than that of the erotic god Flo, and her gaze was sharper and sharper than that of Flo, and when it rested on Memi, Memi subconsciously curled herself up to protect her swollen abdomen.

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Gredi's lips, she fixed her priesthood on fertility and marriage, not that she loved children and respected the right to marry, but because these were two things that human beings could not get rid of in their eternal lives, not only could they not get rid of them, but most human beings still had quite ardent expectations for them, otherwise how could she receive so many sacrifices and beliefs in such a short time? Women, in particular, can remain indifferent and even rejoice at the tragic death of their lives on the cold altar when they finally have hope of having a child.

As for the priests of Flo, under the guidance of Gredi, they have lost their dignity as followers of the gods, and have been reduced to the position of prostitutes, and in the strict laws and self-perception, they never even think that they can have the power that a healthy woman should have, they live in a humble way, and then their daughters, daughters' daughters, daughters' daughters' daughters......

But there was still hope for them, and the Mother of the Red Dragons was not so happy to think that perhaps it was because she was no one else in front of her, that she had been the Sage of Flo, but after she had survived, she had broken all the teachings, and had entered into a long marriage contract with a man, and had borne children for him, and she had accompanied her in the name of her wife, and she had turned her back on her gods, and was a hypocrite, and an unbeliever - even if her actions had helped Gredy to some extent, as a future deity, Gredi would not have liked such a human.

She didn't know if it was a hallucination caused by pain, or if it was real, but what she couldn't understand was, if it was true, what could she have that would have made the deity, even if it was a projection, appear in front of her?

You're dying, said Gredi's apparition.

"Please, ancient and great...... Mother," Memi had seen her child in a brief lucidity, it hung between her legs, no struggle, no sound, it was perhaps dead, and the cold sensation seeped from the crook of her leg all the way to her abdomen, and then to her heart: "Please, we once sacrificed to you, Goddess. ”

Not religious. Gredy said.

Mei Mi breathed hard, she had no strength, curling herself up was the last thing she could do, but she also knew that she and Gülen were afraid that they would not have the slightest piety, she and Gülen were born from pain and torment, and before they met, their lives were only bloody. Death and pain, no one loves them, they don't love anyone, and of course, they don't believe in any god, whether it's Rosada, Tyre, or Flor, the god of Meme, or Musk, the god of thieves, who is believed in by most thieves, who only believe in their own bodies and the daggers in their hands. And now, if you say what Mei Mi believes, her belief is probably Gülen, and Gülen's belief is, undoubtedly, only her.

"We are willing to follow you...... A great sacrifice," cried Memi, in fact her voice so low that no one could hear it except her own projection of Gredi, "and, our children, our ......"

I don't need to, Gredy said.

"What do you want?"

Rune shards. Gredy said.

Memi paused for a moment, she certainly knew how important this rune was, and without it, Glenn would be missing half or more of its power to deter the Azores and beyond.

But......

Why don't you just take it?

Say it to me. Gredy didn't answer her question, but Memy knew that if she didn't do anything about it, she would really die.

To you, to ...... Gredi.
