Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 223 The Highly Anticipated Birth

474
With the help of the church, Stone quickly restored the old order.

Inevitably, novels with the main themes of "dreams" and "identity exchange" also emerged in the city for a period of time. Residents talked about those bizarre dreams, and most people regarded it as an interesting story. look at.

Audrey's life returned to peace, and she accepted the commendation from the church. However, the church deliberately concealed this extraordinary incident, so the compliments given to Audrey could not be notified to her family, but only verbally.

Even so, Audrey was very happy.

That night, the family talked about their dreams enthusiastically at the dining table full of exquisite meals. Mrs. Caitlin said that she became a female teacher, responsible for teaching music and music to a four-year-old daughter in the employer’s family. Fine art, even recalling the already blurred details of the dream, painted a corner of the employer's house.Earl Hall also vaguely remembered that he seemed to have turned into an elderly man, basking in the sun leisurely in his garden, which was a very novel experience for the earl and his wife.

And Hibbert said that he has almost forgotten the dream, and he doesn't remember what kind of person he has become.

With her brother in front, Audrey also used this argument, saying that she had already forgotten the experience in the dream and couldn't remember it at all.

The family did not suspect that they had a good dinner time.

After the meal, Audrey didn't choose to go for a walk in the garden with her mother, but went straight back to her room to find Susie who was already there.

As soon as the door opened, Susie immediately turned her head when she heard the noise, and ran towards Audrey wagging her tail.

"Susie, didn't we agree that ladies should be more reserved?" Audrey made a little joke, she closed the door to block the maid's view, and then said to Susie, "Tell me quickly, What did you see when you went out?"

Susie still stuck out her tongue, tilted her head to look at her, and barked a few times.

Huh?What about Susie... Audrey was puzzled for a few seconds, then realized the problem, and immediately led Susie to her desk.She sat on the chair, held Susie's head, and opened her green eyes wide.

Audrey used "psychoanalysis"!
Audrey successfully analyzed the situation. Susie must have hypnotized herself and turned herself into an ordinary dog.

"Are you worried about being seen as an extraordinary animal?"

Audrey immediately played the role of a psychiatrist, comforting Susie, and whispered in a gentle tone:
"Susie, you are safe now. I am Audrey. You have returned to my side. We are all safe now..."

"You did a great job. We saved a lot of people. I must praise you well this time. Well, how about giving you all you can eat with your favorite food?"

Under her comfort and words, Susie gradually became quiet, and a few minutes later, she suddenly opened her mouth to speak:

"Audrey? I'm back!"

Susie's tail wagged quickly again, and it rubbed its face against Audrey's hand vigorously, saying happily: "I knew you would definitely bring me back! Woof!"

"Great, Susie, we're all safe and sound!"

Audrey hugged it tightly, and it took two or three seconds for her to let go. She asked curiously, "Is the road dangerous? Susie, why did you hypnotize yourself and turn yourself into an ordinary dog?"

Susie had lingering fears: "I accidentally saw a terrible scene... I also saw two demigod-level powerhouses, one of whom was wearing the bishop's robe of the Church of Storms, and the other was a stranger. He seemed to have spotted me. Said something to me, but I have forgotten."

"What about you, Audrey, what happened to you after I left?"

"Susie, after you left, a Hibbert suddenly came to the door and asked me to have afternoon tea together..."

Audrey had wanted to share her experience with others for a long time, and they couldn't wait to start sharing what happened to them, and they were all sweating for each other.

"...However, fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and we were all saved."

Audrey had just breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little worried: "Only Hibbert...he was immersed in negative emotions for a long time after waking up, probably because he encountered a bad life."

"Well, it's okay, after all, there is a psychiatrist by his side!"

475
Time passed quickly, the last Wednesday in February.

The land abandoned by gods, the City of Silver.

The people in the city are still doing daily tasks such as sparring, patrolling, and making food as usual, but there is a slightly restless atmosphere hanging over everyone. They are somewhat absent-minded, paying attention to the conversations of the people around them from time to time.

"The child" was about to be born.

In the simple values ​​of the people of the City of Silver, the birth of an angel should be somewhat miraculous. Even if there is no sky to shine brightly, the scene where the angel sends this child into the mortal world must at least have some thunder and lightning subside, and the wind blows. Little changes they can't imagine.

If it weren't for the child of the Skold family showing various auspicious omens before they were born, the people of the City of Silver would probably only regard the child as bringing good luck, rather than the child as an angel from the Lord's throne.

Therefore, they are now eagerly and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Messenger of the Lord.

As early as three days ago, Wesson Scold had sent his wife to the asylum.The baby in their family whose growth rate is twice as fast as the normal fetus is finally going to be born, and the doctors and therapists are already ready-not specifically to wait for Mrs. Scold, but to wait for the city of Silver. Physicians are always available for surgical treatment or delivery.

Because these two are crucial events in the City of Silver, they are worth paying attention to at all times.

"Chief" Colin Iliad also ended his 20-day quarantine observation, but he did not immediately return to the eyes of the people of the City of Silver, but secretly followed the family's affairs.

Elder Lovia was also concerned about the child who was about to be born, but because of her belief, Colin temporarily did not allow Lovia to get too close to the child, and asked her to return to her residence and wait for everything to end.

"Chief, I have no objection, but I hope you can pass a word to the couple for me."

Before leaving the round tower, Lovia stopped Colin and hesitated for a long time before saying this sentence:
"Even... even if the child is not an envoy of the Lord, but just an ordinary child, this is still a new birth worthy of joy."

After spending a lot of effort to finish saying this, Lovia clenched her fists, turned around and quickly walked out of Colin's sight.

Recalling this sentence, Colin sighed slightly.

In the past few days, he has passed this point of view to the ears of the people of the City of Silver in some ways. He is gratified that people have accepted this point of view well. All expectations are pinned on a child. While looking forward to it, they also bless that child from the bottom of their hearts.

The people of the City of Silver are strong, they are good at opening a way out of hopelessness and exploring hope, and they have been doing this for more than 2000 years.

As Colin Iliad, as a member of the City of Silver, he naturally knows that no matter whether the divine child shown is a genius born with high spirituality, or an angel born with the will of the Lord, it doesn't matter. is a good thing.

But as the "chief" of the City of Silver, he also hopes to be the latter.

The frequency of thunder and lightning is getting higher and higher, and the time seems to have gradually passed the "early morning" and started to move toward "noon".

In the god-forsaken land without the sun, such words have long lost their meaning of existence, and only exist in ancient books and the necessary knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

at this time.

"Knock, knock."

He heard a slow knock on the door.

Colin tensed his body instantly, turned his head bit by bit, and looked out the window behind him, at the distant gate of the City of Silver.

"Knock, knock."

The knock on the door sounded unhurriedly.

The Round Tower is located in the middle of the City of Silver. The low and slow sound of knocking on the door crossed half of the City of Silver and reached Colin's ears.

The people along the way were still walking and living normally, and even the guards didn't notice it, as if the knock was for Colin alone.

"Is it the angel outside the Silver City?"

Colin's expression didn't change a bit. Ever since he knew that the other party was to "greet the angel of the Lord and send the holy child back to the Lord's side", he knew that the other party would definitely react when the child was born.

But Colin didn't expect that before he was born, this angel had already walked into the buffer distance of 500 meters and knocked on the gate of the City of Silver.

"Knock, knock."

After an interval of ten seconds between knocking on the door, it sounded precisely for the third time, as if urging.

In all fairness, an angel is willing to wait, talk, and knock on the door in the face of a city that doesn't have a single Sequence 3. This is already quite goodwill.If this is a disaster, then the City of Silver cannot avoid it at all, and there is no need for him to hesitate to stay here... Colin naturally drooped his hands, and confirmed through his clothes that his weapons and ointment were in a state of full spirituality.

Then, he used his spirituality to leave a few words on the desktop. Once something happened to him, the members of the council who saw these writings would understand what to do.After he was ready to fight at any time, he pushed open the door of the watchtower and said in a low voice to the guards on both sides:
"Take care of this place."

He didn't explain his purpose because it wasn't necessary.

The guards on both sides did not ask, they tensed their muscles even more, and stood upright: "Yes!"

Colin nodded, left the watchtower, walked down the spiral steps, and left the round tower.

He walked on an inaccessible path, passed through the City of Silver unobtrusively, and walked towards the gate.Colin didn't go through the main entrance, but climbed up the tall city wall through a small gate, looking at the fixed spot 500 meters away.

The place was pitch black, and the cane with the lamp on it had disappeared as expected.

He stood still on the city wall, and after twenty heartbeats, the sound of fingers tapping on the wall came from directly below him.

Colin raised the prepared torch and looked down, only to see a thick and indissoluble shadow at the bottom of the city wall. It was not illuminated by the fire, but naturally twisted and stretched in the light, becoming a human body. contour.

"Angel of the Word" Steve stood at the corner of the wall, holding the cane with the lantern in his hand, still smiling on his old face, looking up at Colin above.

He said: "According to the agreement, I will meet His Royal Highness Angel of Destiny."

Colin replied, "He hasn't come yet."

"Yes, that's why I'm coming to meet him."

Steve was prepared to say: "How can a mortal woman carry a divine child? Even as a baby, His Highness the Angel of Destiny is still a complete mythical creature. At the moment of his birth, everyone will look directly at him die with honor."

Colin frowned: "During the last conversation, you said that his parents would be blessed with good luck and live a stable and happy life."

"Yes, that's why I came here today."

Steve nodded and said with a smile: "Let me enter the city, Guardian of the City of Silver, I will protect that mother, and I will deal with the blood of the gods, so that the angel can be born smoothly."

"Not only to take away the child, but also to obtain the blood of the mythical creature. Is this your real purpose?"

Colin has no reason to refuse, but he still wants to maintain the safety of the City of Silver:

"You have a criminal record of concealing information, I can't trust you."

As expected, Steve looked like this. He slowly raised one hand with his fingers facing the sky:
"I understand your concerns. In the name of the Lord, I swear by the connection between my soul and my compatriots, I will not harm anyone in the City of Silver, and I will allow His Royal Highness Angel of Destiny to be born into this world smoothly."

The surrounding shadows surged, making the words of the Angel of the Word really effective.In the Land Abandoned by God, a land full of complex divine power, such an oath can get a normal response just like a prayer.

"The Lord says that no one who deceives another with a lie shall take His name."

After Steve finished speaking seriously, he looked at Colin again: "If I break my oath, this land full of sacred will will punish me. Now, can I enter the City of Silver?"

Colin lowered his head slightly: "Under the eyes of the Lord."

The shadow on Stephen's body flowed, enveloping him.

In the history of the City of Silver, the thick and towering city walls that kept danger and darkness out more than once and protected the residents countless times were useless in front of Steve.He turned into a shadow, lost his form, and easily "floated" into the city like a piece of paper floating on water.

Colin's eyes sank, he wasn't surprised.

A cane with a lantern, a black robe with strange fabrics, and Steve’s attire was incompatible with the people of the City of Silver, but he did not arouse the surprise of the people along the way. The people of the City of Silver seemed to be unable to see this special old man. To Colin Iliad, who was walking on the road with a serious face, following behind Steve.

People greeted the chief one after another, and Colin responded one by one. In just a few seconds of distraction, the shadow of Steve disappeared.

The Angel of the Word didn't want him to follow, so Colin didn't follow at all. He went directly to the path and went to a warehouse near the treatment center to wait.

After silently counting two thousand heartbeats, Colin suddenly felt a slight change in his surroundings, then he lowered his head and looked at his hands.

On these weather-beaten hands, the scars full of meritorious deeds and achievements are gradually shrinking and disappearing——on the back of his hands, the deep lines caused by aging are gradually becoming lighter, and the skin is gradually returning to smoothness and level.

Not only that, but the people around also exclaimed. The wounded soldiers touched their wounded parts in astonishment while removing the bandages, and the wounds underneath were completely healed!People quickly associated these changes with the child born today, who dropped to their knees and kept praying to the Lord, praising the grace that had befallen them.

It seems that everyone has been reborn, but Colin soon discovered something different:
Those who received grace were mostly adults, the wounded, children and teenagers did not appear to be getting younger.

Colin looked at his hands over and over, and found a mirror to look at his face, and found that his physical state and spiritual control seemed to return to the state ten years ago, not the best, but Far better than it is now.

It's a lot like rejuvenation, but it's not like it.

The wound recovered, the broken limb was regenerated, and the condition improved...

But that was enough, and the City of Silver quickly became lively. People who had received divine grace came out of their homes, chatting with each other with laughter and laughter, as if they had ushered in the annual festival dedicated to the Lord.

Colin hurried to the treatment center, only to see that the newborn child was already held in the arms of his father in the swaddle of the animal skin, and was watched by everyone.

Women who give birth at noon are often able to go to the field soon, but now they have to recuperate in bed.And the young father was overjoyed with the child in his arms, walking around in the treatment center with an overly happy smile on his face, as if he didn't know what to do anymore.

In that brand-new swaddling baby was a white and warm child, neither struggling nor crying, with silver-white fetal hair similar to his father's, small hands holding soft animal skin, eyes half-closed He opened his eyes and looked around, as if observing the people and the world around him.

Soon, he yawned, clicked his mouth, and closed his eyes comfortably.
