Mystery: Lucky

Walter's words made Aloli very curious, but the hallway was not a suitable place for chatting, so she smiled and continued:

"Oh? Really?

"Then I have to meet this guest."

Seeing this, Klein simply signaled Walter to lead Aloli inside, while looking at the next guest coming.

Aloli's entry into the hall did not attract Alice's attention. She was checking the drinks on the long banquet table and was satisfied to find a cup of sweet iced tea at her seat.

When the time was almost up, Alice saw Klein walk into the hall and invite everyone to celebrate. Next was the dance session that Alice had experienced many times. She had a lot of experience in dealing with it. In the intervals between people dancing or chatting, she concentrated on eating.

The chatter of the nobles was boring as usual. Alice lost interest after listening to it. When they mentioned Alan, she perked up a little, but soon disappeared with the change of topic.

It would be better to just watch Alan doing it. Well... Alice muttered to herself as she turned her attention to the other side.

Allen was still by the bedside, and there was no doctor or nurse around Wilma. Alice thought that she might still be some distance away from giving birth, but probably not far away, because this seemed to be an independent ward.

Alice looked at Wilma's expression and found that she was no longer in as much pain as before, and seemed to have calmed down, but she looked listless, and her pale face and listless look told of her poor condition. To be honest, Alice was very worried about this.

After she stared at the two of them for a while, Allen began to feed Wilma with food spoonful by spoonful. This scene made Alice decide to wait until they finished eating before continuing to watch.

Alice didn't wait too long, because Wilma really couldn't eat much, She saw that Wilma swallowed hard twice and then waved her hand to refuse, frowning slightly.

Even though she didn't know much about the process of childbirth, Alice had heard a lot of sayings like "giving birth is like going through the gates of hell". She at least knew that sufficient physical strength was needed before giving birth.

But Wilma was like this now...

Alice's "sight" was focused on her abdomen, wondering if Will Auceptin could crawl out of her stomach by himself.

Putting aside the possibility of this matter, Will Auceptin didn't seem very happy to be stared at by the enemy in this way. Wilma's expression soon became painful again, and Alice also withdrew her attention after being "stared".

This matter did not come to a conclusion until Alice left the dance. She took a few glances over there during the time, and sometimes she could see Allen I was trying to feed Wilma. Sometimes I could see Allen helping Wilma walk, but it seemed that there was no further progress.

Alice was not the only one who was anxious. In fact, Allen was also anxious.

In the hospital, the birth process of pregnant women can be roughly divided into three stages. Wilma is currently in the first stage, which is the longest part of the birth process. It can last up to a day, but this is for first-time mothers.

For Wilma, who has already given birth to two children, this step should not be difficult. At least Wilma will not have such a hard time as she is now. In fact, even when Wilma gave birth for the first time, Allen did not think the situation was as bad as it is now.

He doubted whether Wilma would have the strength to complete the birth process.

Allen thought of the horror stories he had read, such as cutting open the mother's belly to take out the child when it was difficult, and he couldn't help shuddering.

-- Due to many reasons such as anesthesia technology, cesarean section is not popular in this era, especially the lack of successful cases as evidence.

In anxiety and uneasiness, Allen remembered the honorific name he had already obtained.

He did not immediately pronounce the honorific name. His intuition told him that it represented something irreversible. He should try to pronounce the honorific name at a more cautious time, such as when things were really hopeless.

... Right?

On Sunday afternoon, things finally took a new turn. Wilma was sent to the delivery room. Alice, who was secretly watching over there, felt that it had finally come. She only took a glance and turned her attention away from the bloody delivery room, frowning at Allen.

It's almost now... Alice thought without any emotion.

Although for Will Ausetin, from pregnancy to childbirth, and then to the long childhood and adolescence, He should have been in a relatively weak position, but Alice believed that the time of actual childbirth was undoubtedly the most dangerous.

It was not because of weakness. In fact, He was quite fragile throughout the whole process, but during childbirth, it was the time when the breath was most likely to leak out, because there was an obvious thing - the umbilical cord blood of the "Mercury Snake" was the blood of a mythical creature.

Alice guessed that Will Auceptin would find a chance to exchange the blood, otherwise, with one cut of the scissors, the lives of the entire delivery room and even the people in the hospital would be in danger. As for the rest, it depends on everyone's reaction speed and luck.

Alice didn't have much ambition to kill with one strike, she knew it was unrealistic, her biggest goal was to attract Ouroboros, so as to make Will Auceptin panic, and then take the opportunity to injure Will Auceptin a little - she only wanted to weaken Will Auceptin and get some blood of mythical creatures by the way.

Of course, if I can really kill him, I won't refuse... Alice muttered to herself and looked at Allen. Just as she was about to secretly influence the probability of the matter, she suddenly frowned.

Something seems to be wrong...

Alice withdrew her attention from Allen and observed the surroundings.

This is a waiting area specially provided for family members. There are many family members like Allen in the area. Most of them are also uneasy. There are also a few who are relaxed, but a little anxious.

Oh, and some irresponsible family members are not thinking about the operating room at all...

Alice silently moved her eyes away and fell on the person who made her feel the most wrong.

The man was wearing a linen robe with a cross on his chest. His soft facial features lacked memorable points, and only a pair of blue eyes were clear and transparent.

"...Adam." She appeared at the scene and shouted softly.

It was natural that the people around didn't notice the two of them. Alice stared at Adam intently. She didn't speak, and Adam didn't say anything. Alice saw Him look at her with a gentle smile, and then disappeared directly.

...?

Alice looked at the previous position with a confused look, not understanding what Adam was doing here.

She scratched her head, but suddenly heard a voice stand out from many other voices:

"The lingering heroic spirit,

"The followers of the true creator,

"The eyes that stare at fate,

"..."

...It's the language of Hermes!

The hairs all over her body suddenly stood up, and Alice turned her head to look at Allen, but she knew it was too late - Ouroboros had already noticed this place.

Damn it...

Feeling the approach of Ouroboros's power, Alice didn't care about cursing, and her attention fell on the delivery room. The originally difficult delivery process suddenly became smooth. Alice saw that The child slipped out of the birth canal in an instant. Then, the doctor picked up the child, wiped the dirt off his body, and picked up the scissors to cut the umbilical cord.

Alice's pupils shrank. She could see more clearly than ordinary people. She could realize at a glance that the blood in it was still umbilical cord blood. With that cut, everyone in the room would be doomed, and it was hard to say what would happen outside.

Will? Where are you, Will Auceptin!

Alice gritted her teeth. At this moment, she realized that the child with the umbilical cord had no life at all!

——It was obvious that Will Auceptin had run away at some point.

"Bang! "

The doctor holding the scissors trembled, and the scissors fell to the ground, making a buzzing sound on the floor. Alice exhaled and then turned her attention to Allen.

Ourolus didn't come...?

Alice was slightly stunned, and noticed that this matter obviously made her happier than saving the doctor just now. After all, she had no subjective intention to save people. Everything just now was actually done under the guidance of the spirit.

By the way, the spirit didn't want me to save people. This, this is a kind of self-help!

Alice suddenly connected everything. Ourolus, who didn't come, had the answer at this moment. She realized that it was precisely because she saved people.

-It didn't seem easy for Ourolus to detect her breath, and Ouroboros didn't seem to be interested in her either.

But Will Auceptin's umbilical cord blood...

Alice paused, subconsciously ignoring the possibility that Ouroboros might not want to kill her or even bother to pay attention to her. She ignored Allen and appeared in the delivery room, picking up the scissors on the ground in the doctor's horrified eyes.

She glanced at the doctor. The completely released aura of the mythical creature made it difficult for mortals to react for a while. The poor surgeon was still trembling on the spot, and the others were not much better.

Alice lowered her eyes and ignored this group of ordinary people. She just looked away indifferently, approached Wilma, and said in a calm voice:

"... After you go out, report this to the church.

"You can tell the church that I am Miss Destiny."

Having said that, she cut the umbilical cord without hesitation. Strangely, there was no sign of the umbilical cord blood flowing, and there was not even any blood on the scissors.

Alice was not surprised by this scene, but she, who was always handsome for less than three seconds, looked at the scissors in her hand, frowned, and then looked at the doctor and asked:

"Um... if you use the scissors that fell on the ground and were not washed to cut the umbilical cord, will it be infected?"

In the silence, a trembling hand stretched out. Alice turned her head and saw that it was a nurse who handed over a scalpel for some reason.

Alice was not polite to the nurse. She took the scalpel and cut off the other end of the umbilical cord. This was not necessary under normal circumstances, but Alice had to do it - she had to take away the blood of the mythical creature inside.

So a more bizarre scene appeared. One side of the scalpel was stained with blood, but the other side was not. Alice took a look, put the scalpel down, and then took the umbilical cord with blood constantly overflowing and flowing back, looked at Alan who was praying to Ouroboros outside, and looked at the abandoned fetus' body, and her expression was dazed for a while.

——In a sense, the prophecies of Allen and Wilma's dreams really came true.

Alice shook her head and left with the umbilical cord she had removed.

When she returned home, the first thing she did was to call Klein to take down the "water pipe" placed above the gray fog. This was the only suitable container she could think of.

——She can indeed make a simple seal with a small cycle of fate, but it is a small thing, and it needs to be updated from time to time to prevent the power from running out.

The blood of mythical creatures was not within this range. Before finding a suitable container for this thing, Alice thought she needed a more reliable temporary container. The "water pipe" that almost trapped her that day was a good choice.

As for Will Auceptin’s peek... Haha, isn’t that the Source Castle?

Alice, who easily solved the problem, happily decided to arrange for Cattleya to obtain a long-term container - she was going to ask Cattleya to bring her own container.

Thinking of this, she immediately remembered that she had forgotten to ask Klein to inform "The Hermit" Cattleya about successfully obtaining the blood of the mythical creature. After hesitating, Alice decided to wait until Monday to talk about it together.

That way I can show off in front of others... Alice nodded with satisfaction and made her decision.

…

After Alice left the delivery room, the frightened doctors and nurses stayed where they were, and no one dared to move first.

Velma, who remained conscious throughout the whole process, was actually aware of what seemed to be happening in the outside world, but just now she did not dare to react like everyone else. It was not until Alice left that the weakness of blood loss forced her to speak out:

"Well……"

The moans from his throat awakened everyone present, so the delivery room was in a hurry again and began to deal with the situation at the scene.

At the same time, Allen outside the door opened his eyes in disappointment.

Simply reciting the honorable name will not attract attention. The reason why Ourolius paid attention was because Allen recited the honorable name, but it was not entirely because of Allen reciting the honorable name. The main reason had to be deduced. To Alice who was there and Will Asceptin who was almost there.

Of course, we can't say that. The more accurate statement is that in the strange voice of prayer, Ourolius noticed that there was something wrong with Allen's fate, which seemed to be involved with his own future, so he looked this way. One glance.

But after the ripples disappeared, Ourolius also looked away. As for what impact his remaining power would have on Allen, who knows?

Anyway, after everything was over, one of his colleagues walked out of the delivery room, shook his head and said to him:

"Alan, you have to be mentally prepared..." (End of Chapter)
