"She has eye problems. She wants your help."
"Ah~"
Nian Lun suddenly stood up and staggered to the girl.
"Indeed... this is also the most amazing place..."
"Hold on, baby, let me take a good look at this eye..."
Two hands that looked delicate and actually felt very smooth slowly lifted up the girl's face.
Hitzfeld felt very uncomfortable, but when she thought of the purpose of her coming here, she forced herself not to struggle.
The blindfold was removed.
The left eye is exposed, with a golden center and edges gradually turning dark gold.
"'The Seventh Day of the Sun'..."
A sigh of growth rings can be heard from behind the veil.
"Indeed, very similar..."
"Let me put it this way." She nodded, "People like you are generally called 'Erosion'."
Devourer.
That is, people who are corroded by the blood of God.
Both Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing silently remembered this title.
"Your Majesty." Hitzfeld raised his head and stared at the upper half of Annual Ring's face that was exposed.
According to her observation, this woman's skin, eyes, and hair were no different from those of humans.
It's hard to believe that she is also a wooden person...
"I wonder which god this eye belongs to."
"Is this important?"
"Of course it's important."
Hitzfeld was stunned.
Otherwise, how could she judge whether it had any ill intentions towards her?
Fusion of God's organs would definitely be harmful to the human body.
But this is not necessarily their subjective will, it’s just that the human body cannot withstand their power.
If the organ came from an evil god, then on top of all those side effects she would have to worry about whether it would go crazy and kill her.
"You think too much."
Year Ring shook his head.
"I don't know where you got this eye, Hitzfeld, but..."
"The kingdom of God is gone, and the man who left no name in the ancient records has also left."
"Even if it really is her eye, why do you think it wouldn't be contaminated by evil over a long period of time? And turn into a different kind of monster?"
She was right.
All the hairs on Hitzfeld's body stood up.
That wooden box...
Even if this eye really stayed there to suppress the evil god, and was contaminated by the evil god's power for a long time, it might undergo unknown changes.
Maybe those tentacles are the result of mutation.
She honestly told Nian Lun about the condition of her tentacles.
Of course, she concealed the blonde woman in the illusion and only said that it was what she "felt".
"Well……"
The rings of life circled around her. After thinking for a while, he began to question her health.
"Headache?"
"almost none."
"Spinal pain?"
"No."
"Backache?"
"No."
"Pain in the limbs?"
“Sometimes a little bit.”
"Chest pain?"
"A little bit."
"That's fine. This is 'growth'. In human terms, it means it's still developing..."
These words caused Xia Yibing to look at the girl's chest frequently.
Although not as good as me, he is still not young for a 17-year-old.
If it's longer...
Ok……
Hitzfeld didn't notice the deep gaze behind her. She took out two folded papers from her chest and handed them to Nian Lun.
"This is the comparative health chart I made. Your Majesty can check it out."
"You have a very unhuman habit."
Nianlun took the two watches, rubbed them with his fingers, and could feel a faint warmth.
If you smell it carefully, there seems to be a mysterious fragrance.
"For now, there is no problem."
After looking at the watch for a long time, she came to a conclusion.
"Based on this data, your description, and the results of my examination of you, the change in this eye is not necessarily a bad thing."
"but……"
"Yes, I know. It grows some evil-looking things that stick in and out of your body... and stir around..."
Hitzfeld's face began to darken.
"But it didn't hurt you, and that's the most important thing."
Annual Rings blew out another puff of smoke to the side.
"Based on my insights, experience, and knowledge, no matter who it is, no matter what it is that is fused, whether it is the organs of a god or the flesh and blood of a monster, as long as the fused thing does not immediately attack the carrier, that is, try to devour them or eat them, then most likely it is harmless. You don't have to worry about this."
"But this collar..."
"It's probably to protect you."
“Why protect?”
This is also the point that Hitzfeld doesn't understand the most.
The most important organ in the human body is the brain.
Her brain has been—
Elegantly, it has been intimately combined with some tentacles.
Although this seemed to make her mind more active and her memory better, it could not be denied that this combination was disturbing and made her feel scared and overwhelmed.
What’s the point of protecting the area below the neck when even the brain is like this?
She felt that this was unnecessary, and the collar seal gave her the feeling that it thought she could survive without her head.
"It seems you don't understand."
Nian Lun chuckled a few times.
"Forget it. Considering that you are a descendant of the Secret Keeper family and a Devourer..."
“For humans, the heart may be more important than the brain.”
"Hmm... (°⌒φ)"
Hitzfeld nodded slightly.
After a while.
"...σ(°дφ;)huh???"
What did she hear?
This is a ridiculous fallacy that is enough to make all scientists jump out of their shells!
"no……"
She immediately tried to reason with Year Ring.
"I know what you're trying to say, and I also understand that the brain is a more important organ than the heart."
Year Rings stopped her dead in her tracks with one sentence: "But that was in the past."
"I don't know about other historical records, but I am sure of this one thing: this is the grace of the Sun King to mankind."
It took a long time for Annual Ring to explain it clearly to Hitzfeld.
According to Hitzfeld's understanding: humans in the Changxia world can think with their hearts.
The brain and the heart are still both fatal organs. If either one is destroyed, the person will die.
But they seem to have truly become "dual-core" and have a deeper series relationship.
They can assist each other.
It can even take on some of the other party's role in times of crisis.
As for why it turned out like this, Tree Rings explains that it was because the Sun King herself was a human being, and perhaps after she became a god she had an influence on the entire human race, or perhaps she thought it was necessary, so she transformed all humans at that time.
Ridiculous answer.
But it's enough to explain this collar.
Hitzfeld decided to stop exploring these ancient secrets.
As the other party said, there is no point in knowing this.
She just needed to make sure the eyes were harmless to her, and the rest of her energy should be put back into the case.
"Have you come into contact with any suspicious people recently?" Nian Lun asked suddenly, looking down at his watch.
"Probably not—why do you ask?"
"The data comparison is not normal." Year Ring frowned.
The table on the left is from an earlier time, and the table on the right is relatively healthier.
She noticed that there were several words written on the top of the table on the left, namely "headache", "stabbing pain", "mental overwork", and "pay attention to rest".
She had not seen these words before, and simply looked at the data in the two tables, and concluded that the girl was fine.
But if the table on the left corresponds to these words...
"Ah, actually, I've had similar doubts..."
Hitzfeld noticed her gaze and decided to take the opportunity to ask her for advice.
This is indeed a strange thing.
At that time, she clearly felt very tired and her head was aching, as if she had neurasthenia - even Sixus said that she felt like she had been working non-stop for seven days!
However, the data in the health table corresponding to that status is not much different from the second one.
This left Hitzfeld confused.
