Campfire Shelter

"You, you don't seem to be very happy lately." The little girl said hesitantly.

"Ah?" Colin was stunned.

He doesn't seem to show this much, but Shana can see through it. If she is willing, she can even directly peer into a person's soul and interpret what the person is thinking through some subtle changes.

It would be difficult for ordinary people, even Colin, to keep any secrets in front of her.

Xiao Hong can see this. Is he acting too obvious?

"Yes." Xiaohong nodded vigorously.

Colin touched his chin: "There may be something more troublesome to do, so I probably won't be here for a while."

Hearing this, Xiaohong immediately clenched her fists, with a nervous look on her face: "Will it take a long time? Will it be dangerous? Can I help?"

"I can't say for sure"

Looking at the girl's series of questions, Colin laughed dumbly and took out a large bag of milk and white rabbit candies from his pocket:

"Don't think about helping me. Just study hard and grow up. Don't think about being lazy when I'm not around."

Xiaohong hugged her favorite toffee, still a little uneasy, but still nodded: "Oh, I, I won't be lazy, I will learn the knowledge of high school soon."

Colin smiled, looking at the girl who had grown to his chest, and thought of something about her.

There is no doubt that during this period of Shanna's search, there was indeed something to say about her eyes.

There were indeed some traces in the past history, but there were no specific traces.

But it seems to have been rendered harmless for now.

The person who solves these problems seems to be Colin's old acquaintance, Rosen.

There may be some kind of big terror involved here, but it may also be nothing at all, just solved directly.

Anyway, the handling should be relatively thorough, and not much information will leak out.

I really want to understand. According to the few words that Shana found, I am afraid that only by finding the "seed of light" that recorded everything here can we understand some of what happened in the past.

However, for this thing, even the "branch" only knows some location information.

"Ms. Rabbit" has no intention of investigating. Given the importance of this thing, "Ms. Rabbit" will start planning whenever there is a slight possibility.

Since she didn't show any movement, it either means it's extremely difficult, or it means it's simply impossible, or it doesn't mean much.

Colin himself feels that even if this thing seems to be a "fire supporter", he may not be able to find it.

Therefore, Xiao Hong’s matter cannot be thoroughly investigated.

Anyway, at present, it seems that they are developing relatively steadily, and they may be able to master some particularly powerful extraordinary methods. Overall, the problem is not that big.

As his thoughts flashed, Colin came back to his senses. Seeing the worried look on the little girl's face, he couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile:

"Don't worry too much. Eat two of these candies a day. I should be back by the time you finish eating all the candies inside."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of Big Rabbit white toffee and stuffed it into Xiaohong's arms.

There are at least sixty or seventy pills in this bag. According to past events, it will only last ten days and a half at most, and it will only take a month if it exceeds. It should be pretty much the same.

At least, the most intense period should have passed, leaving time to continue the "Advent Project".

"Oh, okay, thank you, big brother." Xiao Hong said angrily while holding the toffee that he never got tired of eating. However, he was not particularly happy because of worry.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that she needed strength.

A person as powerful as Sister Shana must even surpass her, otherwise nothing can be done!

As she thought about it, her dark pupils began to turn slightly crimson.

But before the crimson rose, Colin slapped his head and rubbed it away:

"Go to the kitchen and prepare some ingredients. Let's make hot pot here."

One day later, the day before parting, Shana suddenly called Colin to the "Bonfire Cathedral".

At this time, there was no one here.

"This is the 'Seal of Light' for that time. Even if it is used every day, it should last about a month or two." Shana took out some gold seals that had been prepared for a long time from her pocket.

There are ten of them, each about the size of a palm. Pure white light swims on them, emitting an extraordinary aura.

"Have you made preparations in advance?" Colin did not refuse and took the mark as usual, but he was a little surprised that there were so many.

To know that this level of mark, Shana seems to have to concentrate on it for a day or two to do it well.

"Well, after all, our road can't be smooth sailing. There will always be sudden moments, just like now, so I usually make something with multiple bodies to prevent myself from getting into embarrassing situations. Fortunately, it comes in handy. , and, of course, equally unfortunate, it came in handy."

Shana spoke softly, and there seemed to be an aura that could purify one's soul between her words.

After saying that, without waiting for Colin to speak further, she bit her lip, seemingly hesitant, but there was no pause in her hand movements. She rummaged through her small "storage room" and took out a piece as white as mutton-fat jade. He took out the same finger bone and handed it to Colin.

"what is this"

Colin took it and looked at it for a second. He could feel that the phalanx contained various blessings, skills, etc. of extremely powerful "light".

Its richness even exceeds the sum of the first ten gold seals!

As for it itself, it feels a bit like a bone spur, and it is also a female bone.

Colin, who has rich experience, can even recognize it at a glance as it should be the little finger of the left palm.

‘Is it the remains of Saint Chrysis again? ’

Colin immediately thought of the saint from a hundred years ago, but something didn't feel right. Although the finger bone seemed to be from Dakai, it was a bit new. It didn't look like it was from "Shang and Zhou Dynasty", but like it was from last week. The same.

And it looked a little familiar inexplicably, as if I had seen it somewhere.

No, it seems like I see it often?

kindness? etc? Colin suddenly realized something, glanced at Shana's hand, and made a bold guess.

Noticing Colin's gaze, Shana subconsciously clenched her hands into fists, retracted under the long sleeves of the spacious church robe, and put her hands behind her back as if to avoid hiding.

Normally, this action is relatively natural and no one would find it strange.

But now

"Ah, um, hum."

Shana's face was a little embarrassed, and the jumping bonfire made her cheeks a little red. She hesitated a little, but the next second, she adjusted back and explained:

"In a previous incident, my entire arm was frostbitten. I concentrated all the pollution on one finger and saved the hand, but the finger was not saved and was frozen off."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to raise her hand to scratch the back of her head like Colin did to relieve an indescribable embarrassment. However, it seemed that she noticed that this action might not be polite to others, so she raised her hand and put it down again. He went back and continued:

"Logically speaking, I should have completely destroyed it, but it felt a bit...well, a waste, so I purified it and kept it. I originally wanted to keep it for myself as material, but I never had the opportunity to use it. "

After hearing the explanation, Colin opened his mouth slightly, with some complicated shock in his heart.

'Well, I feel like you should be the one to do this 'Fire Holder' reserve, maybe you can attract the 'First Fire' on the spot.'

However, he was still very moved when faced with the gift from the saint.

Not only because of its effect, but also because of the huge risks of the matter itself, etc.

You know, in occult terms, a single hair may kill someone.

What's more, a phalange that originated from oneself and was given by oneself without much cutting?

Especially the act of giving it to me.

In the mysterious field, the risks are no longer as high as usual.

Faced with such a gift, Colin felt that any words of thanks were insufficient.

Colin raised his eyebrows: "This is the thing that hurt you back then."

"I basically got it over with."

Shana wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "When you come back, we can clean it up together?"

That thing is indeed not dead, but that place is the area where the mission "arrives". It is not easy to get there, but if you really want to go there, there is always a way.

"Okay." Colin nodded, remembering this matter deeply in his mind.

"The territory here, the believers here, and Xiaohong or... many unfulfilled plans, everyone needs you."

As Shana spoke, her figure suddenly grew taller, and pairs of huge wings of pure white light sprouted from her back. When these wings flapped, they seemed to fill the entire hall, and then gathered together to wrap Colin.

The holy light feathers all over the sky seemed to be falling from heaven, and the hymns of young children echoed in my ears.

Soft yet icy feathers brushed his cheek like a palm.

At this moment, Colin seemed to be in a trance, seeing a majestic building complex built on the clouds, with a white base and a large amount of gold decoration. At the end of the building complex and at the end of the wide passage, there was a dazzling sun hanging on the sky. General light.

Under this light, there seemed to be an unclear luminous figure.

However, when Colin subconsciously opened his eyes, driving fire into his eyes, trying to see the details of the figure's appearance, all the "illusions" had dissipated.

Only Shana can be seen in front of her, wearing a white dress with gold trim.

There seems to be overlap between the two, but there seems to be no overlap.

And Colin felt that at this moment, he seemed to have experienced a special blessing, and he suddenly felt much more stable and calm.

Just after recovering from this indescribable sense of spiritual comfort, she heard Shana look at him seriously and say:

"In short, I am very strong, even stronger than you think. If you need it, remember to call me!"

Colin blinked, flames surging in his pupils, and nodded: "I understand."

Although he still didn't know exactly what he saw just now.

But he knew very well that it should contain Shana's biggest secret as a saint. Of course, it was more about truly showing some of her strengths so that he wouldn't have too many worries when calling for help.

The short conversation ends here.

There is still some time left, and Colin has to gather the believers and explain something to them.

Whether it’s because of that “in case” or because it may not come for a long time.

More or less should be explained.

Otherwise, Colin would not have thought that one day after returning from solving the incident on Earth, the people here would start to say something like "God has abandoned us".

Many times, conflicts arise from misunderstandings.

Colin had seen similar things once or twice in other worlds.

It's actually not particularly difficult to solve.

After Colin's previous mission in the "World of Thorns", he discussed this with the "Thorn Lady" who didn't like to wear shoes in the carriage.

The advice given by the other party is to just tell the truth.

If you have the opportunity, just tell them directly in advance what difficulties you will encounter and what may happen.

You must express your meaning clearly and clearly without too many euphemisms, otherwise it will be interpreted randomly by others.

As for the "god" of the church, there is a problem.

Don't pay special attention to it.

After all, they don’t really want to build a supreme church with absolute faith. They don’t pursue anything but making believers feel that they are absolutely supreme and omnipotent.

Having been a "world administrator" for who knows how many years, Ms. Thorns, who has ample experience, told him quite confidently:

"In the early days, I cared a little about these things like you, but later I discovered that it didn't make much sense to worry about these things. Anyway, if believers can understand, they will understand, and if they can't understand, they will change jobs. It's not a big problem."

The "Temple of Thorns" under her command is mainly about one who loves to believe it or not. If you don't believe it, go out and turn right to another one.

As long as you don’t believe in some twisted things, it’s okay to pray to a chicken. At most, you’ll mutter a few words when you see it. The 18-year compulsory education didn’t teach you well, and you don’t even know how to worship God. Find a serious person to worship, and then put the person responsible for education A company employee pulled him over and scolded him like that.

And this does not prevent her from being the largest church, nor does it prevent them from continuing to do what they do, enlightening the world, saving people, attracting more people with the same ideas, and obtaining more things that are beneficial to the company. , things that are beneficial to mankind

At this moment, Colin controlled a majestic "Fire Giant" that was more than 500 meters tall and stood on the ground, conveying some information related to this incident to all the believers who gathered around him.

Shana adjusted the brightness of the entire area from the side, so that Colin would appear more majestic and sacred without the flames being too dazzling and making it impossible to look directly at him.

After listening to Colin's words, a large number of believers showed reluctance on their faces and frantically wanted to help. They expressed their willingness to contribute and to contribute everything, including their lives, to this church that saved themselves from the wilderness and ignorance.

Some people even cried bitterly when they heard that the "great" being was in trouble and they were unable to help. They even passed out from crying.

'A little too excited. ’

Colin began to use the words he had compiled with professionals on the other side of the earth to appease everyone.

On the other side, in the large underground maze, the "King of Crazy Sound", with his ears upright against the wall, tried to eavesdrop on the outside world, but could not hear anything. He could only relieve some of his irritability and was very uneasy at the moment.

It would be better to say that this uneasiness has existed some time ago, but it has reached its peak today!

The intuition derived from the personality of "God" made him realize that the source of this uneasiness might be related to the "Fire Holder" - and then he became even more uneasy!

During this period of time, the other party seems to have no clear explanation for this except using the "painting the pie" technique that he just learned about human nature.

You don't want to break your promise to let him out, do you?

Just when he was panicking, the "King of Crazy Sound" felt Colin walking into the scene. (End of chapter)
