"Do you... need me to help you treat you?"

Seeing Angie asking this question cautiously, Slade's expression suddenly became complicated. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and hummed.

She didn't know much about Anji's abilities. She mostly heard them from Anji's reports and from others.

Previously, she had personally witnessed and observed her ability at close range twice:
The first time was when she took Angie back to the castle and pushed her against the wall.At that time, the light on Anji was very weak, but it also forced out the blessings on her, which made her a little interested.

The second time, Anji almost collapsed in pain after taking off his bone helmet, and used his ability in a "self-protective" manner.

That time, Anji's golden light looked much stronger, and could even compete with the physical changes brought about by the "Bone Helmet". That kind of recovery ability can be described as "terrifying".

Previously, she only had a patience value of 70, but now, her patience value has reached 137, which can be said to be a completely different person - her abilities should also be greatly improved.

Seeing Angie nodding in response, Slade looked at the wound on his upper arm, preparing to observe the recovery speed of the wound "when Angie uses his ability."

Without any warning, in just an instant, the surroundings around her suddenly became brighter, and an extremely strong discomfort suddenly spread throughout her body, causing her to grit her teeth and frown on the spot.

Her skin was tingling, her body was numb, and her blood seemed to be boiling... These intense feelings had surprised her.

But at the same time, her dark arms actually bulged with countless blisters as if they had been burned, making a sizzling sound. This made her couldn't help but clench her fists, and her face became gloomy.

Such a drastic change shouldn't happen to her "so easily".

Seeing this scene, Anji immediately realized that something was wrong. While taking back his power, he ran directly to her and explained:
"I'm sorry, I... I just used my ability as before. I didn't expect it to be like this -"

"..."

Slade didn't respond or look at Angie.

Feeling the burn-like pain in her hands and arms, she checked other parts of her body and found that they were normal. Then she stood up and moved her body.

The muscles and bones are not injured, but the movement is slightly numb, which does not affect the use.

Making an assessment in her mind, she touched the bubbles with her hands, and then pricked several raised areas directly with the tips of her claws. She watched as they oozed pus instead of blood. At the same time, she heard Anji's guilt-filled voice:

"sorry, I do not know--"

"Well, no need to say more."

This time, Slade interrupted her calmly, then thought hard.

Anji's ability was originally supposed to be a "golden light" with many functions and auxiliary functions.

Among them, the confirmed abilities include healing, strengthening the body, and purifying the physical curse. Considering the situation that she came back alive with Scott in the Silent Forest, these lights may also have the ability to resist the "invisible curse".

Now, the wound on her upper arm has recovered as before, which shows that Angie's ability indeed "retains its original healing function."

So, where did these "discomforts" in her body come from?
And why, there were no obvious abnormalities in other parts of her body, but only the "arms most affected by the curse" showed symptoms similar to burns?

With a vague answer in mind, Slade looked up at Angie and found that she still looked extremely worried and guilty. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and moved his eyes slightly.

At this moment, a soldier's voice came from outside the carriage:

"Lord Slade, the horse has been tied up."

"Ah."

After a brief response, Slade raised his hand and knocked on the inner wall of the carriage three times.

At this moment, the entire carriage began to tremble violently, and the black horse in front let out a loud cry again.While the surrounding soldiers fled hurriedly, they leapt into the air, and the huge black wings on both sides also fanned a violent gust of wind, rushing straight into the sky in front of them.

Because the thing happened so suddenly, Anji didn't have time to control his balance and fell forward.

Her first reaction was "You must not fall on Slade", so she tried to turn around and let herself fall to her side.

But at this moment, her arm was suddenly pulled by something, and then she sat on Slade's lap in a daze.

The dark arm was hugging his waist, and in front of his eyes was Slade's smiling face.

The corners of her mouth were just slightly raised, but at the same time, her eyes were full of smiles, looking at Anji as if she was "watching the fun", which made her feel so embarrassed that her head hurt——

It was obvious that it was Slade who had just "dragged" her into his arms... So, what on earth was this guy doing?I just thought it would be fun to do this, so I did it?

At this moment, the carriage was still shaking violently, rising and falling, as if it was speeding through the air.

Not caring about anything else, Angie stood up hurriedly and retreated to the seat opposite Slade. However, at this moment, he saw the man smiled mockingly and said in a strange tone:
"It ran pretty fast."

if not? ? ! !Continue to sit in your arms? ? ?
Without saying this out loud, Anji still couldn't hold back the embarrassment on her face. She looked to the side and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm just now."

He hummed without emotion, and looking at Angie's cheeks turning red, Slade tugged at the corners of his lips, gave up his intention to laugh at her again, and continued what happened before:

"Have you used your ability on others recently? Tell us about their situation."

Hearing her talking about business, Anji carefully moved her eyes back and replied thoughtfully:
"Sean, Iselin, and Andrea, all three of them behaved normally and didn't feel any discomfort... Only Charles and Elan, although my ability can function normally on them, But they said they felt an 'itchy' feeling on their body, as if something was crawling in their body..."

Listening to her words, Slade nodded slightly.

Although she didn’t know Andrea’s name, she knew Sean’s patience level, and she also knew the “rough tolerance level” of Charles and Elayne, which made her more certain of her previous guesses, and she concluded expressionlessly :
"Your ability is mostly due to the increase in your resistance value, and the effect becomes stronger. However, this effect becomes stronger, including the effect of the 'Purification Curse', which will make people with higher resistance values ​​feel Discomfort - because the higher the resistance value of a fearless person, the higher the concentration of curse in the body will be."

The effect of the purification curse has been improved?

Frowning and thinking, Anji asked uncertainly: "You mean...my golden light, after becoming stronger, will also have an impact on this part of the 'curse' in the body of the fearless?"

"There is some error in your statement - it should be said that as long as the concentration of the curse in the body exceeds a certain critical point, your golden light will have side effects on it.

"Take Karima and Cesar as examples. Their bodies are almost entirely made up of curses. Therefore, your ability is like a 'deadly poison' to them. Just a slight touch can kill them." Let their bodies evaporate.”

Slade said in a calm tone. Seeing Angie hesitate to speak, he chuckled disdainfully and continued:

"Fearless people originally rely on absorbing curses to become stronger, so rather than calling it a curse, I think of it as a 'blessing'. You little monster, you have obviously absorbed so many curses, but you haven't changed at all. , just keep getting stronger... For you, this is really the 'most real blessing'."

Listening to Slade teasing herself, Angie laughed twice awkwardly, unable to think of what to say. Then she heard Slade snort and ask casually:
"Has that tattoo of yours changed?"

"Strictly speaking, there is no change. At most, the area is slightly larger than before - after all, I have also grown taller."

As she said this, she saw Slade suddenly grinning and looking at her with interest:

"let me see?"

"no need??!!"

Unable to hold back, Angie shouted on the spot and subconsciously covered her chest with one hand, but Slade smiled even more happily at this moment and looked at her sideways:

"Before, I asked you if there were any other 'changes', but you said there were none..."

"Well, because this really doesn't change much——"

"But, you have something else you're hiding from me."

Directly interrupting Angie's explanation, Slade suddenly turned serious, stared at her and said, "I can tolerate you once or twice, but I won't spoil you forever - don't force me to take off your clothes to check."

"...?"

Looking at Slade's serious expression, at this moment, Angie could only feel: This person seems to be really capable of such a thing...

But...she can't be so careless just because they are both women, right?Or is this all she wants to say——

"What are you dazed for?"

Slade's impatient urging interrupted Angie's brainstorming.She looked at the displeased lord with a complicated expression, thought for a moment, looked down at the ground, and said with difficulty:
"I...there are some other changes...I will introduce them to you during training later..."

"Ah."

Seeing that she was finally being honest, Slade sneered, leaned back on the chair behind him, and spoke in a deep voice:
"You'd better introduce it in detail - if you don't want me to strip you naked and leave you outside."

Can you please stop threatening people with this kind of thing?
At this moment, Anji's mouth trembled uncontrollably, hoping that this trip to the countryside would end soon——

She really doesn't want to be alone with this guy anymore! ! !
