Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary-Chapter 103: Breastfeeding Twin Baby-Girls?
Chapter 103 - Breastfeeding Twin Baby-Girls?
"... So, we have an alliance, Lady Lakrii...?"
Christel and Kashya are sitting at a table where a map of the Khanduras area was spread. In front, sits Lakrii with her elite guards standing behind her.
They have been negotiating for a couple of hours; the sun is now at an altitude of almost 45 degrees.
After leaving Jaina and Roxene in charge of the little baby girls, Christel helped set up camp with Fenrir.
When Christel opened the petal bud and everyone saw inside, they were amazed. Christel cut a few squares of fabric with a small bone knife summoned. And then, with the experience gained from caring for baby Celine, Christel put the new cloth diapers on each baby and wrapped them in the cotton sheets.
Christel heated some milk in a pot, and with magic, Christel created some bottles by melting some glass glasses and molding them into bottles with a pacifier tip. In the absence of something similar to rubber or plastic, Christel had to make it completely out of glass, in addition, glass is easy to kill microorganisms.
After doing all that, Christel placed each baby in Roxene and Jaina's arms and told them how to give them the bottle and prevent them from choking. Although Christel knows that the latter is impossible, they are not simple babies. And they have a strength comparable to that of baby Celine.
Before Christel started doing all this, she gave a nod to Kashya, who took Lakrii to talk to the side alone.
Christel hopes that, despite the past, there will still be a friendship or camaraderie between the two, and that Kashya can start peace talks. But even so, Christel has not taken them out of her spiritual perception. Although I block the auditory spiritual perception, to give them a little privacy. Although Christel is a person who likes to know everything always, private conversations are something that does not enter into everything Whole.
After setting up camp, and placing everything in the wagon, Christel led the two cows to move forward under the guidance of the Rogue Sisters of Lakrii.
Christel breathed a sigh of relief when Lakrii agreed to take them to her camp.
Unlike what is known about a forest, this place is closer to a jungle with a lush variety of plants, shrubs, and trees.
Although it is a jungle, the climate is not at all tropical as it is felt in the hottest season, a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. It is a very cold area at night.
It is called Dark Forest because of a special tree native to this area that covers the forest in shade all year round. The Nocturnal Tectona tree. A tree very similar to the Teak, but with five times its dimensions in height, measuring more than 200 meters and with a trunk diameter of more than six meters.
These nocturnal tectonas have a high vitality, their trunk is fireproof and water-repellent and very resistant. And only a couple of trees were needed to build Camp Rogue. Of course, falling one of these trees is also very complicated, since its wood is as hard as iron.
Thanks to its height, its canopy, which is very wide, blocks the sun by absorbing most of the energy from sunlight. And it is called nocturnal, since, although during the day it absorbs the sunlight that is very important for all trees, at night is when it transforms this energy and the minerals in the soil into what is necessary to grow and strengthen.
Christel was impressed to see the enormous height of these trees. And how fast they grow and their abundant vitality to reproduce. Reaching almost 40 percent of the plant population of this dark jungle.
Christel is already thinking about bringing people to cut down these trees and bring them back to their territory, and Christel is also thinking about creating a special area for the cultivation of this species. Each of these giant trees is a treasure in itself.
Upon entering the newly named Bloodsworn camp, Christel noticed that the Rogues of Lakrii have a bit of red corruption, unlike the Corrupted Rogues of Moreina who were enslaved by Andariel. These Bloodsworn Rogues are being enslaved by bloody and furious energy.
But this bloody energy doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere, which gave Christel the idea that they were only becoming bloodthirsty by murdering people and staining themselves with blood.
What Christel doesn't know is that she has just broken the connection of these Lakrii Rogues and Lakrii herself with The Countess, who was the one who was supplying and corrupting them with blood energy.
Then, after arriving at the Bloodsworn Camp, Lakrii offered them a breakfast which Christel accepted ignoring Kashya's signals and gestures.
Christel is not worried that Lakrii wants to poison them, besides, Christel is the student with the highest grades of the necromancy master Malachar. Malachar would mock her if Christel ended up poisoned easily.
After breakfast and Christel checking on the two little babies and explaining certain things to consider about the babies to Jaina and Roxene, Christel followed Kashya to the larger tent in the camp that Lakrii uses as an office-command center.

Telling a bit of Christel's story, about Camp Rogue, about building new settlements and the work of clearing and purifying the land, Christel also extended an invitation for Lakrii and her girls to return, which were needed. Faced with Lakrii's refusal, Christel went to the second purpose, an alliance.
Christel can provide new, more nutritious foods, such as meat, vegetables and fruits, spices, salt and sugar, and more. It can also provide new tools, weapons, and armor. Christel, at the quick glance towards the Bloodsworn camp, Christel notices that not all Lakrii's sisters are properly dressed in armor and do not carry the best weapons.
Only a few Rogues of Lakrii carry the best weapons and armor, and the others must rely on getting a good weapon from the bandits that are hunted as well as the merchant caravans that no longer pass through this route.
Lakrii knows that there is no better blacksmith in this place than her sister Charsi and her forging technology.
Lakrii is really tempted by all this. And especially with the last thing the little girl with golden hair said. The so-called source of power.
Christel brings a mini-Tesla tower. With the ability to provide power to a five-story building. It can't create a mana shield like the main Tesla towers, but it's enough to provide light and heat, as well as provide power for machines that help cut wood, and heat metals.
After seeing it work in the cart. Lakrii returned inside with Kashya and Christel.
And it is at this point that Christel asked.
"... So, we have an alliance, Lady Lakrii...?"
....
"Then what did Senior Sister Lakrii say?"
"She's going to think about it... I left her the letter from the King of Westmarch, but I feel that she will accept the alliance"
"That's good..."
"How have they behaved?"
Christel entered the tent lent by the Bloodsworn Rogues where Jaina and Roxene are waiting.
Even though it has been approximately seven years since Lakrii left the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye, Jaina and Roxene, although they were little girls, already had an understanding and knew all the sisters who are in this camp. So, there isn't much distancing, and the Bloodsworn Rogues don't treat Jaina and Roxene badly.
At this point in time, there is no enmity to the death between the Bloodsworn Sisters and the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye as shown in the mobile video game Diablo Immortal. Which makes Christel happy.
"After the bottle hours ago, they haven't cried or anything, they just sleep, is that normal?"
Jaina said, looking at the two babies who now sleep on a fur bed on the floor of the tent.
Roxene is also sitting on the floor, both Jaina and Roxene never imagined that they would take care of a baby, but they feel some happiness.
They know it's obvious that these babies weren't born to Christel, and for now, they can only wait to return for Christel to tell where baby girls came from.
But Jaina, who is always by Christel's side and usually sleeps with her, can feel the aura that comes out of these two babies is very similar to Christel's.
Roxene, despite being the youngest of the priestesses trained by Akara, can detect the signatures of mana unique to each living being, so she also, like Jaina, feels that these two babies seem to have a connection to Christel.
They both know that these babies are not ordinary, and they seem to have a blood connection to Christel. Sure, Christel has noticed this too, but Christel knows what's going on. Like Celine, the Blood Rose drank some of Christel blood, and then transformed. And like Celine, the Blood Rose used its genetic code in the blood to form its new body.
But what Christel never imagined, is that the Blood Rose would turn against The Countess, devour her in its entirety, and use the large amount of blood magic in The Countess to form her body, and at the same time a new body was formed for The Countess. Thus, two twin girls were born, physically identical, but with unique color characteristics in their hair.
One of the girls has blood red hair, although still short, the similarity to Christel's hair is noticeable as well as Celine. The eyes are also scarlet red. Christel feels that this baby is the Blood Rose, since her spirit and that thread of spirituality now transformed into a soul is the same as the one that was in the vine of red thorns.
Now, Christel has never met The Countess, but the other baby has a soul already fully formed. Although now this soul's consciousness sleeps and looks like a newborn baby, at some point Christel knows that soul will awaken. This baby is completely reborn.
The baby who is the sleeping soul of The Countess has silver hair like moonlight, with a hint of pink at the ends very faint, has the same characteristics of her sister's hair and her eyes are also scarlet red.
A pair of twin girls, identical, but with different hair colors.
"They're both fine, but they'll be hungry in a short time, I'll go and make another pair of bottles..."
"Sister Christel, won't cow's milk harm them?" Roxene asked worriedly.
"What can we do, no one here can breastfeed them, right..."
"But Sister Christel, isn´t breast milk better?... and you are..."
"ah? I???"
"Roxene, what do you mean, Christel is producing milk?"
"I'm not producing milk!"
"But, sister Christel, yes, you are... Master Akara has taught us everything about the woman's body, and I can identify these things with ease..."
"But I..."
"Christel is true?"
"How am I going to know if it's true!"
"But it's your body... Could it be that you..." Jaina placed a hand on Christel's belly and gently circulated a trickle of mana.
Christel was caught off guard and by the time Christel backed out it was too late.
"No, there is no baby inside Christel... So how can Christel produce milk?" Jaina gave a sad and disappointed look.
"Why are you disappointed, Jaina, you know Akara said to take care of ourselves, babies can't be born at Camp Rogue now on this time!"
"I know..."
"pfff...." Christel was relieved, Jaina is not like Malachar who has a high degree of study and knowledge about life, Malachar was able to easily detect Christel's fertilized egg, despite being in a suspended-time state.
But not even Malachar has detected the other foreign eggs in Christel's womb, such as Yuuma's white pearls.
'But that can't make my body produce milk, can it?' Christel thought
"ah~ the red-haired girl woke up~" Roxene exclaimed softly.
Jaina carefully picked up the red-haired girl, aka Blood Rose, and walked towards Christel.
"Honey, you know that breast milk is the best, at dawn there was no other than cow's milk, but they can get sick..."
"But I..."
"Roxene, help me take off Christel's blouse"
"Yes, Sister Jaina... Sister Christel"
"But I..."
"The silver-haired baby woke up~" Jaina exclaimed softly.
"Nooooo!" Christel lamented more.
