Robin had just unearthed a profound secret, and his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. He stood there for some time, unsure how to contain his elation. He remained in a state of high excitement for quite a while, until the frigid winter - night wind roused him from his reverie.
Robin hugged himself tightly, shivering as he made his way back to the wooden house. The door of the wooden house had been kicked in by that wretched brawny man, and it now lay flat on the ground. Robin couldn't help but curse vehemently at the sight. In the end, he had no choice but to prop the door up, half - leaning it against the wall to fend off the cold wind as best he could.
Inside the night - watchman's wooden abode, the Justice Rune Stone continued to emit a light that pierced through everything. At this moment, the world as seen through Robin's eyes was a transparent and radiant place. There was an ice - crystal - like wooden house, an earth as translucent as amber, and golden snowflakes fluttering down like playful elves. It was as if he'd stepped into a fairy - tale realm.
This was a sight Su could never have beheld before. Every time Su had activated the Holy Light Rune Stone, his experience was similar to that of the tomb - robber earlier. All he'd noticed was a slight change in the surrounding environment, with a bit less gloom.
Su hadn't been able to see the elemental light with his naked eyes. Now, Robin, inhabiting Su's body, found that while their physical forms were essentially the same, the soul within had changed.
Robin quickly surmised the cause of this transformation. He deduced that he possessed far stronger spiritual power than the average person in this world, enabling him to open the vision for observing elements. This realization was a consolation to him.
However, Robin soon detected something amiss in this seemingly perfect fairy - tale world before him. It was the leather robe he'd purchased from the swindler Kent!
The neatly - folded leather robe lay there untouched, completely impervious to the light of the Justice Rune Stone. If everything else was like water, this robe was like a rock in the water.
"Truly, all things in this world both complement and counteract each other. No sooner did I witness this magical light than something to oppose it appeared. I've never spent money more worthily than I did today!" Robin grinned, his eyes narrowing with delight.
A garment capable of resisting the Justice Rune Stone must be at least of equal value. As far as Robin knew, a Holy Light Rune Stone could fetch three gold coins. Given the more intricate patterns on the sharper Justice Rune Stone, it was reasonable to infer that its value was several times that of the former!
Robin stepped closer to examine the noble - looking leather robe, said to be made of lizard skin.
After the black air had been purged from the leather robe, its true form was revealed. All the stains had vanished completely, replaced by incredibly complex patterns, less than 10 microns thick, which interconnected the entire robe.
The complexity of these patterns was far less than those on the outer wall of the temple. What astonished Robin even more was that, much like the Justice Rune Stone, these energy lines were filled with a glass - like transparent substance. The only difference was that the "glass" on the Justice Rune Stone was golden, while on the leather robe, it was dark green!
Robin scrutinized the robe closely and eventually discovered a tiny light spot on its lining. The structure of this light spot was peculiar yet seemingly simple.
The familiar pattern - arrangement rules filled Robin with excitement. Although the logical structure of this spot was different in appearance from the starting points on the Justice and Holy Light Rune Stones, their topological structures were essentially the same. In such a situation, why not give it a shot and see what would happen?
With a surge of excitement, Robin focused his attention more intently than ever before. He began to attempt to activate this mysterious leather robe, just as he had the Justice Rune Stone earlier.
Under the influence of Robin's mental power, the start - like structure on the robe began to glow faintly, resembling a red - hot wire, with his mental power acting as the flame.
Slowly, the light spread from the starting point like a trickle of water, flowing across the entire fur - coat.
As time passed, beads of sweat rolled down Robin's forehead. The thin streams on the fur - coat gradually thickened, began to converge, and slowly reached a critical juncture.
Yes, a critical point. Robin could sense that if he could just push through this, there would be a sudden and dramatic transformation!
Just when Robin was on the verge of giving up and on the brink of fainting, the intense resistance in his mind suddenly vanished. The once - unremarkable fur - coat then underwent earth - shattering changes.
The entire robe seemed to come alive, "standing up" as if someone were putting it on. The lines on it blazed brightly, and countless threads of light extended from it into the air, forming a writhing and leaping emerald - green flame.
"Damn!" Robin was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out. This was yet another technology completely unknown in the Milky Way.
This self - circulating energy system composed of magical lines was truly astonishing. He just didn't know what its function was.
Robin extended his finger and slowly moved it towards the emerald - green flame. When he made contact, it felt as if his fingertips were being caressed by a soft feather, a bit ticklish.
"It seems harmless." Robin, being extremely perceptive to bodily changes, quickly reached this conclusion.
He then walked forward and slipped on the fur - robe that was stretched out in the air. It felt as warm as it had in the morning, but there was a difference. The emerald - green flame began to encircle him, gradually spreading over his entire body.
Before long, Robin felt his frost - bitten feet becoming numb, itchy, and tender. It was a slightly uncomfortable sensation, yet there was a greater sense of comfort.
"This emerald - green flame actually has a healing effect." Robin promptly took his feet out of his boots, immersing his entire being in the experience of these changes.
The sores on his feet were healing at an astonishingly rapid pace. New skin grew at an incredible rate, soon covering his entire foot.
His once - numb and stiff feet started to regain their softness and sensitivity, and the hidden injuries within were quickly disappearing!
It wasn't just his feet; Robin felt an overall sense of extreme comfort throughout his body.
Gradually, the emerald - green flames began to penetrate deeper into Robin's body rather than just lingering on the surface.
This was an extremely rare opportunity to closely observe the working mechanism of the magical power in this world.
Robin relaxed his body and mind, allowing himself to be bathed in this emerald - green magical energy. His brain automatically initiated precise observations. This time, he didn't hold back at all; he gave it his all!
The emerald - green flames instilled Robin with confidence, enabling him to fully let go of his inhibitions.
The energy in Robin's body surged towards his brain. With the exception of his heart, which maintained sufficient operating energy, all other organs entered a state of minimal operation.
On the robe, the flames that had penetrated his body seemed to possess a kind of consciousness. Most of them began to concentrate on Robin's brain.
This low - power intelligent entity was now overloaded. If someone were to use a microscope to examine the surface of his brain, they would see that the tiny blood vessels were constantly bursting, and the fatty brain neurons in various centers were dying at an alarming rate.
These neurons simply couldn't endure such intense mental activity and perished before they could complete their tasks.
Just as the potential damage to Robin's brain was rapidly accumulating and on the verge of negatively impacting his brain activity beyond the limit of tolerance, the emerald - green flames enveloped him.
At the microscopic level, the flames were warm, serene, yet teeming with boundless vitality. Like a nurturing mother, they gently roused the dying brain neurons from their slumber, making them strong and radiating an unprecedented vitality.
This was an evolutionary process, a fundamental transformation akin to the leap from a car engine to a spacecraft's power source.
