'But the Scepter of Folly is an excellent trump card after all...and with the gold paper, I can ignore its cost.'

'No, no one knows whether it is really neglected or there are other hidden dangers.'

'But until now, there haven't been any accidents...'

The thoughts in Colin's mind kept changing.

After a while.

"call--"

He rubbed the scepter in his hand and finally made a decision.

Although rare items are good, for him now, in terms of practicality, it is better to exchange them for a treasure that can be used for a long time.

"Recover the injury and eliminate the contaminated treasure." He placed the Scepter of Folly on the platform and spoke softly.

On the stone platform, the stream of light flashed again.

But this time, those golden streams of light turned around and wrapped the scepter.

...I don’t know why, but these golden streams of light always give Colin a difficult feeling.

The golden stream of light kept flickering, but the Scepter of Folly remained in place.

Fortunately, this stalemate was only for a moment.

The next second, golden light burst out from the stone platform, and the Scepter of Foolishness disappeared.

Another new item quietly appeared on the stone platform.

But Colin on the side had no energy to check again.

The moment the Stupid Scepter disappeared, his complexion suddenly turned pale, like gold paper.

His brain seemed to be hit by an invisible heavy hammer, and Colinton felt like stars were popping up in his eyes. Weird whispers kept buzzing in his head, as if a cold poisonous snake was spitting a slippery message in his ears.

At the same time, a severe pain also followed.

Bang.

He couldn't help but fall down while holding on to the stone pillar.

Almost subconsciously, Colin summoned the golden paper.

After seeing the strange thing above clearly, he felt a sudden change in his heart.

On the gold paper, I saw fireball, arrow, agility, steel temperature-resistant force field... almost every witchcraft blessed by the Scepter of Idiotism suddenly had changing rising and falling symbols behind it.

.

"A strange object is something that has strange effects and requires a strange price to pay..." Such words emerged subconsciously in Colin's mind.

Then he thought about his hesitation in placing the Stupid Scepter in front of the stone platform, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The Stupid Scepter is really not that simple... If there is no gold paper, I may not be able to make the decision to take it."

The decision to exchange for other treasures..."

At this moment, the ↑ and ↓ symbols were still changing on the gold paper, as if there were two invisible hands in different directions holding Colin up and down, and then tearing him in two directions, almost breaking him in half.

"Hiss..." Colin couldn't help but gasp in extreme pain, and he endured it hard.

Although the symbols on the gold paper are constantly changing, generally speaking, they are still mostly ↑. If the negative cost of the departure of the Scepter of Idiocy is the reduction of knowledge, then the ↑ symbol is obviously the gold paper that is fighting against it.

Thinking of this, Colin felt a little confident...at least there was gold paper.

Whoosh!

The light of witchcraft flashed through him, and he waved his hand to bless himself with a mechanized mind.

But almost in an instant, before he even felt the effects of the mechanized mind, the witchcraft was quietly shattered.

"Well!"

The pain swept over me again.

Colin couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air.

But at this moment, a fragrance like the green sprouts of spring was suddenly inhaled by the tip of the nose.

"Um?!"

This faintly sweet fragrance was unremarkable, but it instantly relieved Colin's pain by less than half.

He subconsciously followed the scent to find the source.

Standing up holding on to the stone pillar, he saw the source of the fragrance——

It was on the stone platform, a silver necklace... a necklace that was exchanged for the scepter of stupidity just now.

The main body of the necklace is a round emerald the size of a fingernail.

Although the gem is small, it is exceptionally clear. Just by placing it there, a dense mist will appear.

And the fragrance he asked about was the smell of mist.

Colin subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the necklace.

"Huh? My body seems to be in pain no more...and my brain has recovered a lot?"

He suddenly realized something, stopped his movements, turned his arms, and looked down at himself again.

"This necklace is so powerful?"

But the next moment, Colin shook his head, thought in his mind, and opened the gold paper.

Pale golden particles gather.

Sure enough, as he expected, the changes on the gold paper had stopped, and all the chaotic ↑ and ↓ symbols had disappeared.

And upon closer inspection, the progress behind all the witchcraft remains the same.

"Gold paper... is really powerful." Colin raised his lips and reached out to take the emerald necklace on the stone table into his hand.

"It can be considered that I used the gold paper to buy the Scepter of Foolishness for a long time..." He thought again.

If you have to pay a price for using the Scepter of Idiotism, then at this moment, he should be considered a successful prostitute.

Buzz——

As the emerald necklace was held in Colin's hand, an archway with white light quietly appeared behind Colin.

Looking at the familiar outline of the arch, Colin felt happy.

Since entering, he has been vaguely worried, worried that after entering the treasure house, he will not be able to return to the previous palace.

And after realizing that Naxi didn't follow him in, the worry in his heart became more real...
