Chapter 559: The Gift of Saint Shana of Light
"You, you don't seem very happy recently..." The little girl hesitated and spoke hesitantly.
"Ah?" Colin was stunned.
He didn't seem to show it much, but Shana could see through it. If she wanted to, she could even directly peek into a person's soul and interpret what the person was thinking through some subtle changes.
It was difficult for ordinary people, even Colin, to keep any secrets from her...
Xiaohong can see this...is it because he is too obvious?
"Yeah." Xiaohong nodded vigorously.
Colin touched his chin and said, "I might have something troublesome to do, so I guess I won't be here for a while."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohong clenched her fists, her face filled with nervousness: "Will it take a long time? Will it be dangerous? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I can't say for sure..."
Looking at the girl's series of questions, Kelin laughed dumbly and took out a large bag of White Rabbit Candy from his pocket:
"Don't even think about helping me. Just study hard and grow up. Don't even think about slacking off when I'm not around."
Xiaohong was holding her favorite candy, still feeling a little uneasy, but she nodded. "Oh, I won't be lazy. I will be able to learn high school knowledge soon..."
Colin smiled, looked at the girl who had grown to the height of his chest , and thought of some things about her.
There is no doubt that during this time of Shanna's searching, her eyes did have something to say.
There have indeed been some traces of this happening in past history, but there are no specific signs.
But... it seems to have been rendered harmless at the moment...
The person who solved these problems seemed to be Colin's old acquaintance, Rosen.
There may be some kind of great terror involved here, but there may also be nothing at all, and it can just be solved easily and directly.
Anyway, the handling should be quite thorough and not much information will leak out.
If I really want to understand, based on the few fragments Shana found, I'm afraid the only way to understand what happened is to find the "Seed of Light" that records everything here...
But, even the "branch" only knows some location information.
"Ms. Rabbit" had no intention of investigating at all. Given the importance of this thing, if there was even a slight possibility, "Ms. Rabbit" would start making plans.
Since she didn't show any movement, it either means it is extremely difficult, or it is impossible, or it doesn't make much sense.
Colin himself felt that even the "Fire Wielder" might not be able to find this thing.
Therefore, it is impossible to delve too deeply into Xiaohong’s matter.
Anyway, at present, it seems that the development is relatively stable, and maybe some particularly powerful extraordinary methods can be mastered. Overall, the problem is not too big.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin came back to his senses. Seeing the worried look on the little girl's face, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled:
"Don't worry too much. Eat two candies a day. I should be back when I finish all the candies in this bag."
As he spoke, he took out a bag of Big Rabbit White Milk Candy and stuffed it into Xiaohong's arms.
There are at least sixty or seventy pills in this package. According to past incidents, it should take at most ten days to half a month, or at most a month. It should be mostly resolved.
At least, the most intense time should have passed, and we can have time to continue the "Advent Project".
"Oh, okay, thank you, big brother..." Xiaohong said in a muffled voice while holding the milk candy that she never got tired of eating. However, because she was worried, she was not particularly happy.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she needed strength...
You need to have a power as strong as Sister Sana, or even stronger than her, otherwise you can't do anything!
As she thought about it, the dark background of her pupils began to turn a faint crimson color.
But before the crimson color could even begin to show, Colin slapped it on the head and rubbed it away.
"Go get some ingredients from the kitchen. We're having hot pot..."
…
One day later, the day before leaving, Shana suddenly called Colin to the "Bonfire Cathedral".
There were no people here at this time.
"This is the 'Mark of Light'. Even if used every day, it should be able to last about one or two months..." Shana took out some golden marks that had been prepared long ago from her pocket.
There are ten of them, each the size of a palm, with pure white light flowing on them, emitting an extraordinary aura.
"You... made preparations in advance?" Colin did not refuse and took the marks as usual, but was a little surprised at the large number.
You know, to complete a mark of this level, Shana seems to need a day or two of full concentration.
"Well, after all, our road won't always be smooth. There will always be unexpected moments, like now. So usually I use multiple bodies to make things together to avoid getting myself into embarrassing situations. Fortunately, it came in handy. Of course, it's also unfortunate that it came in handy..."
Shana spoke softly, and her words seemed to have an aura that could purify the soul.
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Colin to continue, she bit her lip, seemed a little hesitant, but her hands did not stop moving. She rummaged through her small "storage room", took out a finger bone as white as mutton-fat jade, and handed it to Colin.
"What is this..."
Colin took it in his hand and looked at it for a second. He could feel that this finger bone contained various blessings, skills, etc. of extremely powerful "light".
Its concentration even exceeds the sum of the first ten golden marks!
As for it itself, it feels a bit like a bone spur, and it is also a female bone.
Colin, who has extensive experience, can even recognize at a glance that it should be the little finger area of the left palm...
"Are these the remains of Saint Chrisis again?"
Colin immediately thought of the saint from a hundred years ago, but something didn’t feel right. Although this finger bone seemed to be from a large-scale store, it was a bit new. It didn’t look like it was from the “Shang and Zhou Dynasties”, but it looked like it was from last week.
And it looks strangely familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before...
No, it's like I see it often?
Huh? Wait? Colin suddenly realized something, glanced at Shana's hand, and made a bold guess.
Noticing Colin's gaze, Shana subconsciously clenched her fists, tucked them under the long sleeves of her loose church robe, and in a rare act of avoidance, put both hands behind her back...
This action seems relatively natural under normal circumstances and no one will find it strange.
But now...
"Ah, um, hum hum..."
Shana looked a little embarrassed, the dancing bonfire reflecting off her cheeks made them red. She hesitated for a moment, but the next second, she regained her composure and explained:
"There was an incident before where my entire arm was frostbitten. I concentrated all the contamination on one finger, which saved my hand, but not my finger, which was frozen off..."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to raise her hand and scratch the back of her head like Colin did, to relieve an indescribable embarrassment. However, she seemed to realize that this action might be impolite to others, so she raised her hand, put it back, and continued:
"Logically, I should have destroyed it completely, but it felt a bit... well, wasteful, so I purified it and kept it. I originally wanted to keep it as material for myself, but I never had the opportunity to use it..."
After hearing the explanation, Colin opened his mouth slightly, feeling a complicated shock in his heart.
"Well, I think you should be the one to take charge of the Fire Bearer reserve. Maybe you can attract the First Flame right here..."
However, he was still very moved by the gift from the saint.
Not only because of its effect, but also because of the huge risks of this matter itself...
You know, in mysticism, a hair can kill a person.
What's more, it's a finger bone that came from myself and was given to me personally, without much cutting?
Especially the act of giving it as a gift.
In the mysterious realm, the risks are already extremely high...
Faced with such a gift, Colin felt that any words of thanks would be insufficient.
Ke Lin raised his eyebrows: "This, the thing that hurt you before..."
“I basically solved it.”
Shana wanted to say that, but after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "When you come back, let's go clean it up together?"
That thing is indeed not completely dead, but that place is the area where the mission "arrives", which is not easy to get to. But if you really want to go there, there is always a way...
"Okay." Colin nodded and kept this matter deeply in mind.
"This territory, this believers, Xiaohong, and... many unrealized plans, everyone needs you..."
As Shana spoke, her figure suddenly grew taller, and pairs of huge wings of pure white light grew from her back. When these wings flapped, they seemed to fill the entire hall, and then gathered together to wrap Colin.
The holy feathers of light filled the sky as if falling from heaven, and the hymns of young children echoed in my ears.
A soft yet cold feather brushed against his cheek like a hand...
At this moment, Colin seemed to see a magnificent building complex built above the clouds, with a white base and decorated with a large amount of gold. At the end of the building complex, at the end of the wide passage, there was a dazzling sun-like light hanging in the sky.
And beneath this light, there seemed to be an unclear glowing figure...
However, when Colin subconsciously opened his eyes wide and drove the flames into his eyes in an attempt to see the details of the figure's appearance, all the "illusions" had disappeared.
All I could see was Sana in front of me, dressed in a white dress with gold trim...
The two seem to overlap, yet they also seem not to.
And Colin felt that at this moment, he seemed to have received a special blessing, and he suddenly felt much more stable and calm.
Just as he came back to his senses from this indescribable feeling of spiritual comfort, he heard Shana look at him seriously and say:
"In short, I'm very strong, even stronger than you think. If you need me, remember to call me!"
Colin blinked, flames surging in his pupils, and nodded: "I understand."
Although he still didn't know what exactly he had just seen.
But he knew very well that it should contain Shana's greatest secret as a saint. Of course, it was more about truly showing certain strengths so that he would not have too many concerns when calling for help.
The brief conversation ends here.
There will be some time left, and Colin will have to gather the believers and explain some things to them.
Whether it’s because of that “what if” or because it may not come for a long time.
I should explain a bit more...
Otherwise, Colin didn't want the people here to start saying things like "God has abandoned us" after he came back from solving the incident on Earth.
Often, conflicts arise from misunderstandings...
Colin had seen similar things more than once or twice in other worlds.
It’s actually not particularly difficult to solve.
After Colin finished the "World of Thorns" mission, he discussed this with the "Thorn Lady" who didn't like to wear shoes in the carriage.
The other party's advice is to just say it directly.
If you have the opportunity, just tell us in advance what difficulties you will encounter and what might happen.
You must express your meaning clearly and explicitly, without too many euphemisms, otherwise it will be misinterpreted by others.
As for the church's "god" encountering problems...
Don't worry too much.
After all, they weren't really trying to establish some supreme church of absolute faith, nor were they striving to make believers feel they were absolutely supreme, absolutely omnipotent, or anything like that...
Having been a "world administrator" for who knows how many years, the experienced "Ms. Thorn" told him in a rather nagging manner:
"In the early days, I was just like you, caring a little about these things, but later I realized that there was actually no point in being so concerned about them. Anyway, if the believers can understand, then they will understand. If they can't understand, then they can just switch sides. It's not a big deal."
The main idea of the "Temple of Thorns" under her command is that you can believe it or not, if you don't believe it, just turn right and go to another one.
As long as you don't believe in some twisted things, there is no problem in praying to a chicken. At most, when you see it, you can mutter a few words about how the 18 years of compulsory education were not taught well, and the chicken doesn't even know how to find a proper god to worship, and then pull over the company employee in charge of education and scold him.
This didn't stop her church from being the largest, nor did it stop them from continuing to do what they were doing: enlightening people, saving lives, attracting more people with similar ideals, and gaining more benefits for the company and for humanity...
At this moment, Colin manipulated a magnificent "flame giant" over five hundred meters tall to stand on the ground, conveying some information related to this incident to all the believers who had gathered...
Shana adjusted the brightness of the entire area, making Colin appear more majestic and sacred, but not too blinding because of the glare of the flames.
After listening to Colin's words, a large number of believers showed reluctance on their faces and wanted to help frantically. They expressed their willingness to contribute and to contribute everything, including their lives, to this church that saved them from the ignorance of the wilderness.
Some people even burst into tears and fainted when they heard that the "great" being was in trouble and they were unable to help...
"A little too excited."
Colin began to use the words he had previously sorted out with the professionals on Earth to appease everyone.
…
On the other side, in the underground maze, the "King of Mad Sound" was very uneasy at the moment, as he put his ears against the wall and tried to eavesdrop on the outside world, but he could hear nothing. This was the only way to relieve his irritability.
It’s better to say that this uneasiness has existed for some time, but it has reached its peak today!
The intuition derived from the "God" person made him realize that the source of this uneasiness might be related to the "Fire Wielder" - and then he became even more uneasy!
During this time, the other party seemed to have been using the "pie-in-the-sky" rhetoric that he had just learned from human nature, and didn't seem to have any clear explanation for this...
You don't want to go back on your promise to let him go, do you?
Just when he was feeling anxious, the "King of Mad Sound" felt Colin walking into the scene.
