Chapter 797: Chapter 556 “Light” Saintess Shana’s Gift._1 Chapter 797: Chapter 556 “Light” Saintess Shana’s Gift._1 “You, you don’t seem very happy lately…” the little girl hesitated and stammered.

“Ah?” Colin was taken aback.

He had not thought his demeanor had shown it, and while it was one thing for Shana to see through him—she could, if she wished, directly peer into a person’s soul and decipher what they were thinking by subtle changes—it was quite another for the average person, let alone Colin, to keep any secrets from her…

Little Red could see it… Was he being too obvious?

“Yes.” Little Red nodded vigorously.

Colin stroked his chin, “There might be a bit of a troublesome matter to attend to, so I guess I won’t be coming around for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Little Red clenched her fists and looked anxious, “Will it be a long time? Will it be dangerous? Can I help with anything?”

“I can’t say for sure…”

Watching the girl’s barrage of questions, Colin couldn’t help but chuckle silently, pulling out a big bag of Bunny brand milk candy from his pocket:

“Don’t worry about helping. Just focus on growing up and learning. And don’t think about slacking off while I’m away.”

Little Red, holding her favorite milk candy, still seemed uneasy, but nodded, “Oh, I won’t slack off. I’m about to master high school knowledge…”

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

Without a doubt, the search by Sister Shana had revealed some truths about her eyes.

In the past history, these had indeed triggered certain traces, but without concrete evidence.

But… it seemed to have been neutralized for now…

And the one who seemed to have taken care of these matters was an old acquaintance of Colin’s, Rosen.

There could be some great terror involved, or there could be nothing, simply dealt with on the spot.

In any case, it had been handled quite thoroughly, with not much information leaking out.

To really understand, according to the snippets found by Shana, one would probably need to find the “Seed of Light” which recorded everything about this place…

But, even the “branch office” only had a bit of location information about this thing.

“Lady Rabbit” showed not the slightest intention to investigate; given the importance of this matter, even a sliver of a chance would have prompted “Lady Rabbit” to start making plans.

If she showed no action, it must mean it was either extremely difficult, or simply impossible, or perhaps it didn’t hold much significance.

Colin himself felt that even a “Flame Bearer” might not be able to find it.

Therefore, it was hard to delve too deeply into Little Red’s matters.

In any case, it seemed there was a relatively stable development, and possibly even the control of some extra powerful supernatural methods. Overall, it didn’t seem to be a big problem.

As thoughts flickered, Colin came back to his senses and, seeing the worry on the little girl’s face, he shook his head and smiled:

“Don’t worry too much. You can have two pieces of this candy a day. By the time you finish all the candy inside, I should be back.”

Saying so, he put a bag of Bunny brand milk candy into Little Red’s arms.

This bag had at least sixty or seventy pieces. Considering past incidents, it would take at most ten days to a fortnight, and at most a month, to resolve them.

At least, the most intense moment should have passed, and he could find the time to continue “The Descent Project.”

“Oh, okay, thank you, big brother…” Holding the milk candy she could never tire of, Little Red’s voice was muffled, and despite her worries, she wasn’t particularly happy.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a deep need for strength…

Strength like Sister Shana’s, even surpassing hers, otherwise, she was powerless to do anything!

As she pondered, a faint red hue began to glow from the depths of her dark pupils.

But before the red could rise further, Colin patted her head, rubbing it in a way that dissipated the redness:

“Go get the kitchen to prepare some ingredients, we’re having hotpot here…”

…

A day later, the day before he was to leave, Shana suddenly called Colin to the front of the Great Bonfire Cathedral.

There were hardly any people around at that time.

“These are the ‘Marks of Light’ for when the time comes. Even if you use them every day, they should last you around one or two months…” Shana said, pulling out some Golden Marks she had prepared in advance from her pocket.

Each the size of a palm, there were ten in total, with pure white light coursing over them, exuding an extraordinary aura.

“You… made preparations in advance?” Colin didn’t refuse and took the Marks as usual, but seemed surprised at the quantity.

These high-level Marks, it seemed, took Shana a day or two of complete concentration to craft each one.

“Yes, after all, our path won’t always be smooth. There will always be sudden moments, like now, which is why I usually work on crafting some items with multiple bodies, to avoid finding myself in an awkward situation. Fortunately, they have come in handy. Of course, just as unfortunately, they have come in handy…”

Shana spoke softly, her words seeming to carry a breath of spiritual purification.

Without waiting for Colin to speak further, she bit her lip hesitantly, yet without pausing her movements, she rummaged in her “Storage Room” and took out a pristine, white bone like mutton-fat jade and handed it to Colin.

“What’s this…”

Colin took it and could feel that the bone contained very strong “Light” blessings, skills, and so on.

The intensity of which even surpassed the combined total of the ten Golden Marks!
