Chapter 504: Arriving soon, the ninth stop!
"This... How can this be an insult to someone's innocence? Why would I use it as firewood if I had nothing to do? It's a prop after all..."
Colin grumbled in his heart, feeling that this "Lady of Thorns" was too prejudiced against the "Fire Embracers".
Besides, that was something done by those "fire bearers" and had nothing to do with him.
Those people are those people, and he is him. We cannot generalize them.
And so far, he has never burned any props.
This thing was bought with real money, and Colin felt that he was not such a spendthrift.
Then, he took the "Ring of Pain" which was the same as the "Lady of Thorns" and covered with short thorns, looked at it again, and put it on his head according to the other party's instructions.
The thorns pierced the skin the moment they touched it, causing a slight stinging sensation.
"How could my scalp, which can carry a large truck, be pierced like this?"
Colin couldn't help but be surprised.
Then, he asked curiously, "Speaking of which, if I wear it on my head like this, will it fall off easily?"
This situation is quite easy to occur during high-intensity combat .
"Once you put on the connection, it's generally safe. Even if your head falls off, it won't fall off."
Ms. Thorn sat on a high chair, her arms folded across her chest. She seemed to have thought of something, a teasing smile on her lips:
"Of course, if you're really scared, you can put it around your neck, and then I'll give you a 'Chain of Thorns', and then I'll be like holding you by the hand, hahaha..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing happily a few times, as if she thought of an interesting scene.
Colin ignored her teasing and asked the little maid to reach out and grab the ring, trying to see what would happen if he didn't want it to fall...
Then, it was quickly confirmed that this aspect was indeed similar to what "Ms. Thorn" said.
Once it is put on, it is tightly connected to oneself. If one does not want to, the enemy may not be able to remove it even if he flips over his skull.
In addition, at this moment, Colin also felt an inexplicable sense of lightness in his body -
All the gravity that the body bears is transferred to the ground at this moment.
It's different from standing on the ground.
Colin waved his hand. Normally, he would feel a slight resistance from the wind, but this time, although the impact on reality was still there, there was no such resistance...
Everything was moved underfoot.
Looking at the little feet of "Ms. Thorn" swinging back and forth, Colin suddenly wanted to try stepping on the ground with slippers.
But after thinking for a moment, he decided not to do so.
“It’s a strange feeling…”
Colin couldn't help but mutter that he didn't know what grade this item would be, but if nothing unexpected happened, it shouldn't be subject to any restrictions and would almost be in a state of "item liberation".
The intensity is still quite high.
While wearing this ring, the body, spirit, etc. suddenly become particularly "solid".
It's like the loose dumpling filling is tightly locked by the dumpling skin.
Some spiritual energy will not be lost easily...
After a simple trial, Colin was sure that it was indeed a good thing. With "Fatal Insight", he was not afraid of being taken first. With this thing, even if someone took the first move, it might not have any impact on him.
It suddenly becomes very "meaty".
"I didn't lie to you, it's good stuff."
Ms. Thorn spoke with a certain pride, and was confident in her handmade items.
"Um……"
Colin nodded as he took the item off and put it in the "storage room" and asked, "Does it have any side effects?"
"Yes, there are some. For example, the damage you carry doesn't disappear completely. You have to find time to slowly wear it off. To put it simply, if someone punches you, you can absorb the damage of that punch over multiple times at different times."
"Of course, you can also choose to let the ' Ring of Pain' take it, but it will damage the integrity of the item. And if this integrity has not undergone master-level transformation, then only I can repair it, but you can't always find me..."
"So, it depends on whether you want to use it long-term or just carry it once..."
The Thorn Lady pondered as she spoke, "Oh right, this is a new branch, and some of its functions haven't developed yet. You can use some 'colorless crystals' to nourish it later. It should have other abilities in the future, like transferring other people's 'pain' or 'hurt' to yourself..."
"I'm mentally ill, so I transferred other people's injuries to myself."
Colin said, "What about transferring it to someone else?"
"That's fine, but you can't do it. These are some relatively advanced methods. But if you really want to learn, it's not impossible..."
Ms. Thorn rubbed her hands together in front of her and smiled mischievously.
Although Colin felt that it would not be a good thing, he still couldn't help asking.
"It's simple. Give up the Bonfire and become my successor. If you succeed, the things in your body can also be transferred out ..."
"never mind."
Colin interrupted decisively and shook his head.
In these chaotic times, he still prefers to be the one who can fight rather than the one who gets beaten .
Moreover, "Fire Bearer" seems to be constantly being strengthened in this era. Who the hell would choose a version from an ancient and backward era?
"What a pity! I have prepared a gift for you, sister."
"Ms. Thorn" hooked a strand of hair with her index finger and played with it, a trace of regret on her face.
Colin had no interest in the "gift" offered by this seemingly unrealistic lady. He didn't look at her, but instead looked out the car window, which was still obscured by thick gray fog.
I don't know how long it will take for this train to reach the ninth station...
After thinking about it, he asked about "2044" again.
"'2044'? Hmm, is that the 'ultimate time'? That was the rumor circulating in the company back then..."
Ms. Thorn paused at this point, blinked, and then changed her tone:
"But for the specific situation, you should ask the person behind you when you have time. She will let you know when it's time to know."
"All right."
Colin shook his head regretfully.
It can be seen that "Ms. Thorn" must know something, but unfortunately, for some reason, she doesn't seem very willing to talk about it.
He didn't dwell on it too much, and took advantage of the time later to continue chatting with the other party.
Get as much knowledge as possible about the company or some enemies...
Time passed little by little during the conversation.
After another six or seven hours, Colin and "Ms. Thorn" both felt that the speed of the train, which had been moving at a constant speed, seemed to have changed slightly.
This also means...
"Ninth stop, almost here."
Kelin looked out the window, which was still obscured by thick fog, and whispered to himself.
