Chapter 41: Hope, Baby (Happy New Year to All!! )

South Red Square Street, West Gate Abbey.

Although Peter the Great overthrew the Cult of the Apocalypse, the churches and monasteries used by the Cult of the Apocalypse have basically been preserved, and there are more than a dozen large and small churches and monasteries in Mosk alone.

After the Church of Truth settled in Mosk, it renovated these churches and monasteries and used them as residences for monks and clergy.

Located on the south side of Red Square, the Simon Monastery is where the blood clan live, not far from St. Basil's Cathedral, only two blocks apart, so you can respond to anything as soon as possible.

In the convent, Louise was watering the flowers in the courtyard when she suddenly heard her husband's call behind her, and hurriedly put down the shower and returned to the convent.

"Jaylan, how are you.... Father? ”

Looking at Mavi, Edward, and a doctor with a medicine box who arrived with Jaylan, Louise was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion, "Father, why are you here?" ”

Ma Wei rarely comes to Simon Monastery, he has a lot of things to do every day, where does he have time to wander around?

"Louise!" Geylan stepped forward excitedly and took out the glass bottle in his arms: "Look! Mercury Blood has been crafted! ”

"Really?!"

Louise's eyes lit up, she took the glass bottle handed by her husband, held her bulging belly, looked at the crimson viscous liquid in the bottle, and couldn't wait to say, "With it, our children can become humans?" ”

"This.... Priests, they are not sure either. ”

If there is a precedent for turning the transcendent race into a human being, Mavi can still learn from it, but the truth is that there is none, and Baji can't help it usefully.

Louise lowered her eyes with some disappointment, gently stroked her bulging belly, and thought for a long time before saying, "Is it risky to take the blood of mercury?" ”

"We've tested the right dose!" Patting his chest, Geylan said confidently: "You will definitely be fine, but it will hurt a little." ”

"I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about children." Louise asked, "Will the blood of mercury cause harm to children?" ”

Jaylan and Louise looked at Mavi together, and Mavi wanted to give an answer to their gaze, but he really didn't know.

But....

"Judging from the results of the experiment, although the blood of mercury will have a strong effect on the bloodline, it still can't kill them, and after the effect of the medicine wears off, the bloodline will quickly recover."

After many tests, the effect of mercury blood is already obvious, it can only block the connection between strength and flesh, not completely, as for the side effects....

The blood clan's self-healing ability is very strong, and after the test, Jaylan quickly jumped alive and bounced, and no obvious side effects or sequelae were found.

Louise nodded as if she didn't understand: "In other words, the blood of mercury can't cause permanent damage to the bloodline?" ”

"Yes."

"Then I'll be relieved...."

Louise's face smiled again, "Since we won't hurt the child, then we have nothing to hesitate about, just try, Priest." ”

"Okay."

Mavi looked at the doctor standing behind him, "Doctor Agatta, please be ready to deliver the baby. ”

"I need a warm room, hot water, enough bright lights and towels...."

The gray-haired, middle-aged doctor, who was already a little old, quickly said his request, he was the most famous obstetrician and gynecologist in Mosk, who had delivered more than 20,000 babies in more than 30 years of practice, and had a lot of experience and prestige.

According to Ma Wei's vision, the sanitary conditions in this era are actually very substandard, but Louise is a blood clan and will not suffer from human diseases, bacterial infections, colds and other things are even more impossible, even if it is difficult to give birth, it is impossible to have a life-threatening situation.

Taking the blood of mercury is a big deal, and the members of the blood clan living in Simon Monastery are busy, and soon set up the greenhouse, waiting outside the door, watching with anticipation as Louise, Jaylan, Mavi, and Edward enter the house.

This is the first naturally born blood baby, and it means a lot, if it weren't for Louise and Jaylan insisting on turning the baby into a human....

Edward should be happier.

The room was lit with a brazier, and the warmth of the red-hot coals diffused with warmth, Louise, in a long white loose dress, sat down on the edge of the soft bed, pulled out the cork of the glass bottle, took her husband's broad palm, and swallowed the mercury little by little.

The crimson viscous liquid entered the throat, and the burning sensation immediately appeared, Louise, who had never felt such pain, clenched her hands all of a sudden, her body trembled, and she forced herself to exhale without pain, and the blue and black blood vessels appeared on the surface of her body, like a wriggling snake, quickly turning red.

"Ah!!h

The moment the blood vessels turned red, Louise felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if something had torn it, and the pain rushed to the top of her head, and she screamed and fell on the bed, clutching her stomach, sweat showing a trace of sweat.

The experienced middle-aged doctor Agata saw the signs of Louise giving birth at a glance, and his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Let her lie down, quickly!" ”

Jaylan immediately hugged Louise, who was constantly struggling, and tried to keep her position still, Agata lifted Louise's skirt, and seeing this scene, Mavi turned his head and walked towards the door, saying, "Let's go, let them deal with it themselves." ”

"Hmm."

Edward turned to follow, and before leaving the door, Mavi did not forget to tell Jaylan to give Louise 37 ml of mercury blood every once in a while to ensure that the effect was stable.

The night sky was full of stars, and outside the greenhouse door, the members of the Blood Clan gathered together, nervously waiting for the result, and Louise's screams could be heard from time to time in the house, and with each scream, the Blood Clan would sweat.

In the courtyard, Ma Wei put his hands behind his back, looked at the starry sky above his head, and suddenly said, "I feel that you have something to hide from me. ”

"Hiding what?" Edward looked at him with a blank expression.

"Something about Louise and Jaylan."

"Don't you already know my story with them?"

"I'm talking about the baby in Louise's womb."

Ma Wei withdrew his gaze from looking at the starry sky, looked at Edward standing in the shadows, and said in a cold voice: "As the Lord of the Blood Clan, you know far more information than me, doesn't your Blood Clan's secret book record things about the descendants of the Blood Clan?" ”

“.......”

"Why won't you let Jaylan and Louise go?"

Edward lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly said, "I didn't target them. ”

"No?"

"Not really." Edward said, "The baby in Louise's womb was a dead baby from the beginning, and I found it when I first saw it. ”

Ma Wei's eyelids jumped, and his face became solemn: "So you...."

"There is indeed my selfishness in turning Jaylan and Louise into a blood clan, but part of the reason is that Jaylan is kind to me, it is really kind, and I don't want it to be sad, so I used the lamprey thing to attack." Edward's voice was calm, "Lampreys are my genus, and I arrived at Roseback Harbor with them, so how could I not know that they were caught by humans?" ”

"I originally wanted to slaughter the humans in Rosslier Harbor, but at the moment I started, Jaylan reached out to me, and I obviously wanted to kill it, but it mistook me for a drowning person, and even loosened the net for lampreys in order to save me..."

Edward grinned: "It is precisely because of its kindness that I have the idea of contacting humans, and I have always wondered how the humans who were once enslaved by the Blood Clan can overthrow the rule of the Blood Clan?" ”

"If you're here to help Jaylan, why would you want to turn it into a Bloodline?" Mavi asked.

"Strictly speaking, I didn't want to help Jaylan, I was just repaying it, at that time, I wholeheartedly thought that the Blood Clan was a higher existence than humans, and turning it into a Blood Clan was not a gift?" Edward shook his head: "Later, I realized that I was wrong, Jaylan didn't want to be a blood race, and the blood race was not higher than humans, and thinking races have their own characteristics.... But I can't admit my mistakes, I'm the Lord of the Blood, and I can correct some mistakes, but I can't admit it. ”

It is a relatively common situation to make a mistake but not admit it, in order to maintain the prestige and dignity of the ruler, in this regard, Mavi understands Edward, but for his behavior of forcing Jaylan to become a blood clan despite Jaylan's thoughts....

Ma Wei didn't approve of it, but this matter Geylan and Edward had already talked about it, and the two sides had reconciled, and it had already passed, and there was nothing to mention.

What really surprised Ma Wei was that the baby in Louise's womb turned out to be a stillborn?

"Will turning Louise into a Bloodline bring the baby in her womb back to life?"

"If it's an ordinary second-generation blood clan, no." Edward said, "That's why I took out Louise's heart and used my blood to warm the baby in its womb and give the stillborn a new life..."

"Why don't you confess to Jaylan about this?"

"What is there to confess?" Edward smiled disapprovingly, a drop of blood jumping on its fingertips, "Originally, I wanted to tell them, but they always wanted to make babies human, didn't they?" In this case, the fact that I confess will become a sharp knife to hurt them, and completely cut off their hope. ”

"So can a baby become a human?"

"Nope." Edward sighed: "If the baby is not stillborn, there is still a glimmer of hope to become a human being, but the baby itself is stillborn, and it has life because of my nourishment, it is a blood race itself, not a human being." ”

"If you want a baby to be forcibly turned into a human, you need to extract its soul and reshape its body, but if you do this, is the baby still the same baby?"

"Louise conceived the child of her and Jaylan, and she is also the daughter of the blood clan who has my power, and its birth will bring prosperity to the blood clan..."

Ma Wei stared into Edward's eyes, and heard a different meaning from these words, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

"Leave hope for the Bloodline."

Edward smiled, and the golden hole was unusually bright in the night:

"I'm already the ghost of the last era, there are many things waiting for me to do, I want to avenge my dead companions, this time, I'm afraid there is no chance to come back, but I still have to go."

"If I die, Louise will take my place as a new..."

"Lord of the Bloodline!"
