Chapter 2671 Abnormal Baby

Curious, Joan turned to look at the newborn beholder cub, and found that she was indeed relatively large, with a layer of pink fetal membranes covering her body, her main eye was squinted, and she looked listless.

"Forget it, just one." Ishtar sighed with disinterest, "Saoirsa, throw the cub into the bucket and wash it, and then show it to me. If it looks like I, just stay and raise it."

"As you order, my lord."

Saoirse floated to the bathtub with the newborn in her arms, soaked her in the warm water purified by magic, and wiped her gently.

Joan floated over to help, but also wanted to take a closer look at Udinos' little princess.

As soon as she got close to the bathtub, Saoirse's mental fluctuations from the "spiritual connection" came in her mind.

"Mitra, I have some bad news for you."

"What's the matter, Lady Saoirse?"

Seeing that Saoirse didn't want Ishtar to hear their conversation, Joan also asked telepathically.

"Look at the poor little one," Saoirse pointed at the newborn floating in the tub, "there's something wrong with her dominant eye!"

Joan probed into the barrel, and his eyes fell on the newborn's main eyes through the dense steam. After a little observation, he saw something abnormal.

Since it was born by Ishtar, the cub's main eye has not been fully opened, and its eyes are squinted, as if it has not yet woken up.

At first, Joan thought it was a normal phenomenon. The newborn was weak and didn't have the strength to open his eyes. It would be fine after a while.

But after listening to Saoirse's reminder and taking a closer look, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with the little guy's dominant eye, at least it was severely myopic. Otherwise, how could his eyes look so dull and lifeless?

With a trace of worry, Joan summoned the "Hand of Arcana" and lifted the upper eyelid of the newborn's dominant eye as gently as possible. The moment he finally saw the whole picture of the eyeball, he couldn't help but be moved by it, and felt a chill in his heart!

This poor little guy was born with a deformed dominant eye.

The structure of the eyeball is similar to that of a mango. The lens and other visual tissues are completely concentrated in the middle of the eyeball, which is flat, like a mango core. Most of the other eyeball tissues... can't be called eyeballs, but just a lifeless and useless mass. It's just fat.

No wonder the child kept squinting her main eye. It turned out that her field of vision was too narrow, and she could only observe the world outside her body through such a narrow slit.

Joan withdrew the "Hand of Arcana", and the newborn lowered its eyelids and resumed its squinting posture.

Staring at the beholder cub in the bathtub, Joan, with sympathy and anxiety, performed "advanced internal vision" to further check her health.

It turned out to be worse than she expected.

This newborn baby was bigger than a healthy beholder cub when it was just born. It was very weak and obviously born with stunted growth. According to the tradition of free-range cubs of the beholder clan, she couldn't even survive a week.

It is still possible to raise her with good care, the question is is it worth it?

The child's dominant eye was severely distorted, and his eyesight was so weak that he could not see anything more than ten feet directly in front of him. He was nearly half-blind.

Of course, she is a beholder after all, and besides the dominant eye, she has ten healthy stalked eyes, so the comprehensive vision will not be affected by the deformity of the dominant eye.

But the dominant eye is of far greater significance to the beholder than other terrier eyes. The deformed dominant eye of the newborn not only has weak eyesight, but also seriously affects her supernatural talent.

"Even if this child can survive, it is very likely that he will not be able to awaken the 'Anti-Magic Cone', or the ability of the 'Anti-Magic Cone' is too weak to be compared with a healthy beholder."

Saoirse communicated with Joan through a "psychic connection" and made a pessimistic prediction.

Joan nodded sympathetically, completely understanding why Saoirse's eyes were full of disappointment.

It doesn't matter if the poor freak is the offspring of Saoirse or some other beholder noble.

If she can survive and grow up to maturity, it is just a joke for Udinos, a "poor creature" that can be ridiculed by those healthy beholder nobles.

If she strives a little bit, even if she is not congenital, she may gain great strength through continuous self-improvement and hard work in the future, and become another Mitra, making her compatriots who made fun of her look admirable.

It's a pity that she was not born in an ordinary family, but the daughter of the beholder queen Ishtar. She was destined to live under the focus of people's attention and be subject to stricter scrutiny from the moment she was born.

Her birth defect will not only attract discrimination to herself, but also cause her mother to lose face.

The Supreme of Udinos, all the cubs born in the first birth died, and finally conceived again at the age of nearly a hundred years old, but the baby was born with a deformity. What does this mean?

In Joan's view, this is probably just a coincidence, but will the beholder nobles in the city who are full of delusions and conspiracy theories believe that this is just a coincidence?

Just as Saoirse was worried, the nobles were more willing to think that this was a curse, indicating that Ishtar probably committed some kind of unforgivable crime, angered the Great Mistress, and lost the favor of the beholder god. Cursed to give birth to deformed babies.

If the matter spreads, such rumors and rumors will surely fill Udinos and make people's hearts fluctuate.

Ishtar has ruled the Beholder's Nest City for many years, and her prestige is still there. The beholder nobles dare not openly rebel, but after all, she is getting old, her days are numbered, and she will die in the future. Who can inherit the supreme position?

Is this the little princess who was born with a deformed dominant eye?

The beholder nobles probably won't be convinced.

If that day really comes, an unprecedented civil strife may break out in Udinos!

"Saoirsa, Mitra, what are you dawdling about there? Hurry up and bring the cub over here and show me!"

Ishtar's impatient urging suddenly came from behind.

Saoirse and Joann exchanged glances quickly, then stretched out an eye stalk, rolled up the beholder cub in the tub, brought it to Ishtar, and told the Supreme about the newborn's story in the most tactful way possible. Symptoms of congenital malformation of the dominant eye.

Ishtar's demeanor was unusually calm. He silently listened to the Prime Minister's words and waved his eyes. What he said made Joan feel a chill in his heart.

"This disgusting freak, who doesn't look like me at all, has no right to live in this world."

"My lord, what do you mean..." Saoirse hesitated to speak.

"Don't play dumb, Saoirse, you should know what I'm up to! Get rid of that mess, I don't want to see her again, it makes me sick!"

"But, Your Majesty, that is your only heir!" Joan couldn't help but interjected.
