Don't mess with the yordle

Chapter 20 Fighting for prey with Death

Facts have proved that the "possibly a natural birth" that the unknown maid said was really just a "possibility".

Queen Catherine's birth was actually not very smooth, and it even reached the point where she might die at any time. The situation can be said to be very critical.

However, her husband Jarvan III outside the delivery room, and her good friend and sister Tiana Crownguard, did not know the current situation in the delivery room. They had no idea that Queen Catherine had reached the final moment of life and death.

"Queen! Please! Please! Just let me tell His Majesty! You can't make this kind of decision in private!"

In the delivery room, Queen Catherine's personal maid had tears on her face. She knelt on the ground and begged Queen Catherine to allow her to go out and tell Jarvan III the situation.

But Queen Catherine just kept shaking her head. She gritted her teeth tightly and refused to let go.

Because she knows how much the husband outside the door wants this child. She knows that his husband is looking forward to the birth of this child every day, and she also knows that if her husband is allowed to choose one of the two, the one who loves her deeply A man will definitely choose her and give up this child.

But this is not the result that Queen Catherine wants. She wants to give birth to this child, because she, like her husband Jarvan III, has been looking forward to the birth of this child.

The entire Kingdom of Demacia is waiting for this day to arrive. If this child dies, it will have a great impact on the prestige of her husband Jarvan III.

"But! What if you have a bad boy? This child, and His Majesty the King, what will you do with them!"

The personal maid was still crying and begging bitterly. Of course, she also knew that Queen Catherine had made up her mind. No matter how much she begged, she could not change her decision. The Queen of Demacia was also a determined person.

The whole process of giving birth is long, especially for the mother who is suffering, and this long feeling is directly caused by the severe pain.

Her wet hair was stuck to her forehead, her eyebrows were twisted together, her eyes were almost bulging out of her sockets, her nose was flaring, and she was breathing rapidly, her hands tightly grasping the sheets that had been soaked with sweat, and her arms. The veins in his upper body bulged.

Even a strong woman like Queen Catherine was almost knocked down by this severe pain.

Her face turned from yellow to red to purple and then to white. The water droplets on her face could no longer be distinguished from tears or sweat. There were drops of sweat on her palms. Her whole body was shaking. She didn't even have the strength to speak. Her The situation was obviously dangerous because her bleeding could not be stopped.

She seemed to see a great being, with a black wolf head mask, a pale lamb body, and a silver-white bow in his hand. Catherine knew exactly who it was.

That is "Eternal Hunting Twin" Qian Jue, that is the sheep spirit. In Demacia, they call her "The Daughter of the Veil". The only god of death worshiped by Demacia is this sheep spirit.

When a person is dying, she will see the "God of Death" and will face a choice, the long bow of the sheep spirit or the sharp teeth of the wolf spirit. Now, it is her turn to make a choice.

As a Demacian, she knew what she should choose. It would be a shame to die under the fangs and claws of the wolf spirit.

"Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~"

The child's cry sounded very clear and powerful. This was a healthy boy. He was crying loudly, as if announcing his arrival to the world.

Although the birth of Jarvan IV did not make the entire forest of Demacia whisper his name, in the future, he will also become the embodiment of justice. When Jarvan III's life comes to an end, he will eventually be crowned king. .

"The child is healthy! He is a prince! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The maid came out to announce the good news to Jarvan III, but her expression was not happy, but full of sadness.

Seeing the expression of Queen Catherine's personal maid and the tears on her face, Jarvan III was keenly aware of something, especially when the maid only said that the child was healthy, but did not mention a word about Queen Catherine.

"Your Majesty Jiawen, take this with you. I think it should be able to help you."

Before Jarvan III could rush into the delivery room anxiously, Reed grabbed him and handed him a small bottle.

Under the confused gaze of Jarvan III, Reed explained to him and told him the function of the liquid in the vial.

"It only takes such a small drop to snatch the dying person from the hands of the Everhunting Twins."

Reed's words made Jarvan III's eyes light up. He didn't even have time to say thank you before he rushed into the delivery room with the small bottle. It was indeed a small bottle. After all, it was a size that Reed could carry with him.

"What is going on?! How is Queen Catherine?!" Jarvan III rushed in, but Tiana Crownguard wanted to guard outside. She pulled the queen's maid with renewed hope on her face and thought Ask for clarification.

"Difficult labor. Excessive bleeding. The midwife said there is no way to save the situation. Unless I don't want the child, the queen won't let me come out and tell His Majesty the King. She insists on giving birth to the prince."

As the maid spoke, she began to wipe away her tears again. She seemed to have no idea at first glance, but anyone with a little bit of courage would come out directly at that time and tell King Jarvan III everything.

Of course, it's also possible that Demacia's tradition is at work. Anyway, it's hard for Reed to understand her approach.

"Master Reed, can your potion really save the queen? Will Queen Catherine be fine?"

Tiana Crownguard is really too young now. When her good sister's life and death are unknown, she has long forgotten about managing her expressions.

She looked at Reed with hopeful eyes, hoping to get a positive answer. The holy water given by this legendary yordle must be able to do that kind of thing, right?

"Of course, the sheep spirit has left with her bow and arrows. Queen Catherine is a true Demacian. She is not afraid of death and is ready to receive the sheep spirit's sharp arrows. Unfortunately, she should not die today."

Reed's answer reassured Tiana Crownguard. Although she did not see the arrival of the Everhunting Twins or the legendary "Death", since Reed said so, Queen Catherine should It's safe.

Sure enough, Jiawen III walked out of the delivery room excitedly, holding the small bottle tightly in his hand.

With a face full of gratitude, Jarvan III walked up to Reed, and then bowed directly at [-] degrees. This made Tiana Crownguard on the side hesitate to speak, and made the maids frightened. knelt down.

"Master Reed, there is no way to repay your life-saving grace. If Jarvan Lightshield needs to be used anywhere in the future, please feel free to ask, but please do so without hesitation."

Jarvan III's words were very sincere, and he also made a very clear distinction between public and private matters. He said this from the perspective of Jarvan Lightshield, not from the perspective of Jarvan III, King of Demacia.

As a husband and a Demacian, Reed's kindness to him would make him willing to go through fire and water for it, but if it would harm the interests of Demacia, as Jarvan III, he could refuse.

"No need to thank me, all this is the guidance of fate. Now that I have come here, naturally I cannot ignore death."

Reed supported Jarvan III and asked him to straighten up. Of course, he was just pretending. After all, Jarvan III was tall and his height obviously did not allow him to do that.

"This is your holy water."

Jarvan III straightened up. He returned the holy water that could almost bring the dead back to Reed. There was no nostalgia in his eyes. Although he had just witnessed the power of the holy water with his own eyes, the pride of a Demacian man would not allow it. He behaves like he covets other people's things.

Reed took the small bottle and put it back into his arms. The holy water in this bottle is the "water of life" from Blessed Island. This "water of life" is located in an ancient tomb in Hylia City. , has a powerful healing effect.

Although Blessed Light Island has now become Shadow Island due to the "Curse of Ruin", and the "Water of Life" no longer exists, Reed has saved a lot of "Water of Life". This kind of good thing Reed Of course I won't let it go.

After all, when he went to Fuguang Island to "move water", the "Flashing City" Hylia had not yet developed. At that time, no one had the ability to stop him from "transporting water in basins" to Bandle City. water of life".

However, Reed has always been worried about his failure to save Blessed Island's dilapidated fate, so he has been paying attention to Shadow Island. Since there is no way to save them, let's save them.

At this point, Reed and "Eternal Hunter Twin" Qian Jue have something in common. After all, the "God of Death" has been staring at the Shadow Island. Those souls that escape their fate will eventually be buried in the sheep bow or the wolf fang. under.

Of course, Qian Jue, the "Eternal Hunter Twin", doesn't like the existence of Reed, or the existence of the yordles, because the "magical creatures" yordles born in Bandle City are not affected by time. Restraint and influence so they don't die naturally.

For Qian Jue, the "Eternal Hunting Twin" who symbolizes the concept of death, immortal creatures like Yodels naturally make them feel very disgusted.

In particular, a certain yordle always does things that change the fate of dying people, such as now, which makes Kindred dislike yordles even more.

It is a pity that very few Yodles die, because they are so blessed that they can get help from the spirits of nature wherever they go. This can be seen from the experience of that guy Nar.

He managed to hold on in that dangerous situation. You must know that the guy was going to attack the Void Monitor. As a result, he was frozen in the ice together. Everyone died, but he was the only one who survived. down.

-----Make complaints-----

Just after writing about Kindred's appearance, the official added the LOR deck into the background story. Kindred's strength has dropped, and the level of backstab can only be said to be average, which will not have much impact, but the speed of the backstab is too high. That's outrageous!
