Chapter 756 The immutable mark, the late divine revelation
The candlelight was bright, illuminating the side hall of the goddess and the woman moaning in pain on the white bed. The faint smell of oil candles, the pungent smell of alcohol, the unmistakable smell of blood, the anxious smell of sweat, and the soothing breath of divine smoke,
They all dispersed together in the side hall, like an ominous circle of fate.
After Priest Yin Tuoya finished speaking in a low voice, he glanced at His Highness with red eyes, then immediately lowered his head and became silent. At this moment, a feeling of facing a dangerous beast came over her heart, as if she was encountering a dangerous beast in the deep night.
To the jaguar who endures pain and is about to explode.
Shulot pursed his lips, tightened his fists, and roared silently for a long time as if on the verge of an explosion. However, the terrible explosion finally did not come. After a while, the silent Highness took a long breath and let out a painful cry.
sigh.
"Phew! Destiny! My child!..."
"Your Highness Shulot?"
"Priest Yin Tuoya, the matter has come to this... Then please be sure to protect my woman!"
"Ah? Witness the Lord God! Do you want to choose my lord?"
Hearing such a choice, Priest Yin Tuoya's face instantly showed a trace of astonishment. She hesitated for a while and then asked again cautiously. Because the choice at the moment was of great importance, she had to obtain His Highness's personal promise.
Avoid possible anger afterwards.
"Your Highness... This child is a baby boy, a bloodline of the royal family and you. If you choose to be an adult, we will have to cut this prince into pieces and sacrifice him to the goddess, and then use his divine body bit by bit to
Take it out... During this sacrificial process, the mother may bleed and be unable to survive. And even if she survives, she often loses the ability to have children..."
Priest Yin Tuoya suppressed his voice and warned cautiously. Two steps away, the captain of the guard, Ekart, stood aside, his head lowered. Although his eyes changed, he never said a word.
From a practical point of view, it is naturally more difficult to preserve the baby in a "snail shell" without any help than to directly open the abdomen and take out the baby. And in terms of the subsequent risks, sacrificing an ordinary child in the choice
A commoner woman is far safer than dismembering a respected royal bloodline with your own hands. Similarly, in other difficult births that Yin Tuoya has encountered, the common practice of the nobles is to retain the family bloodline.
...
"Priest Yin Tuoya! This is my choice, and it is also my king's order! Are you going to disobey me?"
Shulot interrupted sharply, his eyes becoming dangerous. Priest Yin Tuoya just looked at each other and immediately fell silent. She lowered her head respectfully and promised obediently.
"Follow your will, Your Highness! Since you choose to give up the baby, we will give the mother the powerful and cherished Obsidian Knife Water! Her pain will soon be relieved, her whole body will relax, and the rhythm of childbirth will also
It will stop because of this...Goddess bless us, we will do our best to protect your woman!"
"...Go get ready!"
After hearing such a promise, Shulot nodded. He waved to Priest Yin Tuoya to prepare, while he stood there, continuing to be silent, looking at the painful woman on the bed. However, the woman heard what he just said
She shouted fiercely and opened her eyes suddenly. She raised her head with great effort, looked at His Highness's figure standing in the distance, and called out with difficulty.
"Your Highness...Your Highness!..."
"I'm here, Naxiu."
Hearing the woman's call, Shulot finally took a few steps forward and came to the woman's side. He pursed his lips, squatted down, reached out and grasped the woman's pale right hand. The other person's hand was very light and white.
, and also clenched it very hard, like an extension of the intense pain during her childbirth.
"Your Highness..."
"I'm here! Don't worry..."
Holding the woman's hand, Shulot's voice became softer. His fierce eyes just now also softened in an instant, and he patiently comforted the nearly exhausted woman.
"Please be patient for a moment longer. The priest is preparing fresh anesthetic water. After taking the water, you can have a good sleep. And when you wake up, everything will be over..."
"Your Highness! No, don't!"
Naxiu's pale hand suddenly tightened, causing even Xurot to feel the pain. As a shadow slave trained by the priestess, she naturally knew the power of the sword water. Once the rhythm of childbirth was lost, the baby would die.
Undoubtedly... Thinking of this, Naxiu shook her head hard, with deep pleading in her eyes. Her weak voice was full of reluctance and determination to sacrifice herself.
"Please...stay...keep...the child..."
"Want...to have a baby!"
"Your Highness, I...I'm not important..."
"Children... are important!..."
Hearing such words, Shulot lowered his head and stared at the pale-faced woman who was pleading softly. He pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this scene, Priest Yin Tuoya's expression flashed and he prepared the knife.
The movement of the water stopped. The captain of the guard, Eckart, raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of His Highness. Everyone was waiting for His Highness's response.
However, the expected response did not come. Hulot looked at Naxiu who was praying, his eyes were deep, and his eyes became deep. Hulot knew that this was a woman who could sacrifice everything for him. The woman turned him
He is regarded as the only one and always lives in his shadow. And the woman's sacrifice, in the eyes of everyone at this moment, is a matter of course...
This cruel era has changed him too much, making him more like a cold and ruthless king. However, there are always some imprints of later generations deeply engraved in his bones, and he is stubbornly unwilling to change!
Shulot was silent for a moment, and then calmly and resolutely shook his head under Naxiu's desperate gaze. Then, he turned his gaze, scanned the people in the hall sternly, and shouted in a low voice.
"Save her! Don't stop! Get the knife and water!"
Priest Yin Tuoya met His Highness' gaze and immediately trembled. Her movements quickened instantly, and she quickly mixed the obsidian knife water. It was said to be a mixture, but in fact it was extracted with wine according to the user's constitution.
Magical morning glory, black feather jade, and datura juice are mixed together in appropriate proportions, plus mixed herbal powder. At this time, in order to ensure safety, the chief priest Yin Tuoya also specially added it, which is unique to the goddess priests.
Heritage hemostatic powder.
"Your Highness, the sword water is ready..."
After a while, Priest Yin Tuoya lowered his head and came over respectfully holding a small clay pot. Shulot sniffed it gently, and the familiar breath penetrated his nose, and his whole body felt relaxed. He nodded affirmatively,
Then he held Naxiu's hand tightly and whispered.
"Na Xiu, be obedient! Open your mouth and don't move. I'm going to give you anesthetic water!"
"Your Highness..."
At this moment, Naxiu's eyes changed again, becoming complicated and difficult to understand. Desperation, hope, pain, and joy were all mixed together, making her shed tears silently. Then, a cold touch came.
Touching her lips. Priest Yin Tuoya's steady hands had already grasped her chin and brought the clay pot to her mouth.
"No, you can't come in!..."
"Get out of the way! We are following His Highness's will!"
At this moment, in the outer hall, the priestesses suddenly shouted to stop them. However, the armored guards did not stop, pushed aside the blocking priestesses, and strode outside the side hall. Then, Feng Chen
Teres, the servant's shield guard, held a slender and strange "brass weapon" in his hands and hurriedly entered the side hall. He took two steps forward, and with a "pop", he knelt down at the door of the side hall.
,Reply to His Highness.
"Your Highness! You ordered the craftsmen to make the divine instrument that can assist in childbirth, and it has been made!"
