Sean walked to the center of the Thousand Faces Hall, and the door closed behind him.
The lights dimmed one after another. In the darkness, he followed the mask maker's instructions and took off the Unknown Sea from his face, holding it up with one hand...
A gentle force enveloped Sean's mask and slowly floated high into the sky.
Then, a beam of light shone down from top to bottom, illuminating the unknown sea like a crystal lens.
Sean heard the sound of the tide.
It seems like the waves are constantly hitting the rocks on a deserted promontory.
The light shining through the unknown sea creates a fantastic scenery.
A transparent, constantly turbulent ocean, and the sound of waves comes from here.
"ocean?"
When he first obtained the Unknown Sea, Sean didn't notice it yet.
Now I have discovered something...
Whether it's crossing the ocean to find Aaliyah, diving into the Atlantic Ocean, or catching a glimpse of the secrets hidden deep in the sea...
His experiences along the way seem to be inseparably connected with the "sea".
Even his own mask is a sea of chaos.
Then, he saw some changes in the projection.
On the originally cloudy sea surface, the clouds and fog dispersed a little, revealing a corner of the night sky before dawn.
In the dark blue velvet night sky, there is a bright star.
That's...the morning star.
"The clouds have dispersed a bit...has the morning star also risen?"
The beautiful scenery that was projected, as the light faded, was condensed into the crystal mask again.
The "unknown sea" has changed.
The clouds and mist are no longer confined within the crystal mask, but disperse around the mask, gently rotating, as if it is a miniature celestial phenomenon.
Within the mask, there was still a tidal ocean, but above the ocean, a bright corner of the sky was revealed, and a star with extraordinary brightness was twinkling.
"Sea of Shimmering Lights".
Sean's Q-level mask.
He suddenly realized that his mask was a timeline.
A timeline from late night to dawn to the break of dawn.
And when he used the Philosopher's Stone in Ocean City, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his mask, which was just a glimpse of Sean's potential from the Philosopher's Stone...
After taking over the new mask, Sean took a gentle breath and pressed the Sea of Glimmer to his face.
The tide surges and the clouds swirl.
In the mirror, Sean was wearing a black windbreaker.
He did not take off his tweed hat.
Like a cloud, it enveloped Sean's face, slowly rotating like a nebula on his face.
In the middle of this nebula, like the eye of God, is dotted with a star that seems to be able to see through everything in the world.
The mysterious mask with special effects actually matches Sean's costume very well...
It makes him look like an urban legend walking in the city that never sleeps.
The traveler of clouds and mist, the lone star who sees through all things, the one who surges in the ocean tide...
Imagining the title that might come from this mask, Sean slowly walked out of the hall.
When the door opened, Yueguang was obviously stunned when she saw Sean.
Under the mask, he looked at the stars obscured by the clouds and mists, and complained: "Xiao, why do you have this ability...
"Why do you always make me feel dissatisfied with my mask?"
Compared to Sean's Sea of Shimmer, Moonlight felt that her mask lacked some mystery and a powerful aura.
It looks so Queen-like.
Unlike Sean, just from the appearance of the mask, others would think that he has reached the King level.
Sean shrugged his shoulders and was about to speak when Yueguang raised his hand and said, "Stop talking, I know what you are going to say.
Imitating Sean's deep tone, Moonlight said: "Oh, Moonlight, my friend, when you are promoted to King level, your mask will be upgraded - you will definitely be satisfied by then!"
Sean laughed dumbly, and the pianist made a face: "Yes, then your mask will hold my head again..."
"well."
However, despite what Moonlight said, he still seemed very satisfied with the "Moonlight Soloist" - when leaving, he still looked at himself in the mirror from time to time.
While waiting for the elevator, Ivan said: "Next, I will go to the Q-level library and borrow the fragments of the Thunderbird myth... Although it is still incomplete, it will take me some time to study it. "
Yueguang said with a slight disappointment: "So, do you want to stay in seclusion for a while?"
Evan Burns nodded: "Yes."
Moonlight became a little emotional, opened her arms, and hugged Ivan, who was a little restrained in his movements: "I will miss you, buddy.
"You are my only piano apprentice - even though you still can't play a piece of music."
He never thought that Moonlight would mention the apprenticeship. Ivan pinched the bridge of his nose, as if there was nothing he could do about the pianist.
"Okay, Evan." Sean patted the Hidden Eye on the back, "Next time we get together, you will definitely be stronger than now.
"I hope that next time, our mission can be simpler and we won't have to face the Ace class at every turn..."
As if recalling the embarrassment in Ocean City, Ivan smiled rarely.
Taking the same elevator, Sean and Moonlight arrived at the mysterious heritage identification center on the 24th floor, and said goodbye to Ivan who continued to take the elevator to the underground library.
"If you need help with anything, please contact me directly through the Explorer Card." Sean said.
Because they have gone through several missions, their cards have been deeply bound, and they will still be able to sense them even if they are far apart.
"Yes." Ivan said, "However, I will go back to the mountains and forests in the north to meditate. There is nothing there except pine trees and snow. It is inaccessible and there should be no danger.
"On the other hand, if you need help, remember to tell me."
Although they usually don't express much, Sean and Yueguang can feel that the steady Evan Burns is already a friend who can trust his life.
When the elevator slowly closed, the three of them made a kiss.
"God favors the seeker."
This trip to Ocean City with Ivan was like a dream.
Without him, it would have been impossible for Sean to achieve his goal so satisfactorily and escape unscathed.
He was also very grateful to Ivan.
Turning around, Sean and Moonlight walked into the mysterious heritage identification center.
This layer not only has the function of heritage appraisal, but also can exorcise evil spirits, keep, consign and auction mysterious heritage.
Under the guidance of the guide, Sean and the two came to the intermediate appraisal department.
The man sitting behind the appraisal table looked to be in his early fifties, with a black vest tightly covering his slightly bloated figure.
The appraiser with a cold face rolled his eyelids when he saw the custom-made masks of Sean and the two of them.
However, after discovering that the visitors were two Q-class people, he still seemed uninterested——
Only the heritage brought back by the Ace class that needs to be appraised has real value.
There is no shortage of precious B-class heritage, and even occasionally priceless A-class heritage...
In a Queen-level mission, it is great luck to obtain a C-level inheritance.
After signing the identification document in hand, the other party slowly screwed the pen into the cap, crossed his hands, and asked slowly: "What did you bring?"
Sean had already placed the black living knife in the invisible stomach bag in advance.
Interestingly, after Sean used the "Fair Arms Dealer" three times, the mysterious suitcase disappeared from his invisible stomach bag - presumably returning to the hands of its owner, Arthur Merlin.
At this moment, Sean took out the black living knife, wrapped in ectoplasm, from the invisible stomach bag.
With just one glance, the appraiser quickly pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The originally uninterested eyes shone with light.
The hands with white gloves took the object with a unique lightness and agility.
The appraiser felt the ups and downs of the black knife like a beast with his hands.
The uninterested expression receded like a tide, and his face looked like it was facing a formidable enemy.
He snapped his fingers and summoned his apprentice.
A panicked young man ran in and sat next to the master.
"I said, you write."
The young man has picked up the pen.
"Antiquities."
"Items exclusive to ancient legends.
"Not man-made..."
While identifying the details of the living black knife, the appraiser spoke out a dozen special words.
“With the potential for growth.
"The evil has been exorcised..."
Place the breathing black dagger on the appraisal table.
The old appraiser crossed his hands and squinted his eyes, the wonder on his face still not completely gone.
“Although the rule in the industry is not to inquire about the origin of mysterious inheritance...
"But, I'm really curious about how you obtained this thing.
"Can you tell me something?"
