A drop of rain rolled down the animal skin, gathering more of its kind on the way. Until it reached the edge of the skin, it stopped as if it knew that there was a cliff ahead. This drop of transparent rainwater swelled on the edge, and the ignorant people behind it still walked forward. Subsequently, it merged into it, and finally the drop of crystal water fell from the edge and landed in front of Sean.
It seemed that the rain had never stopped at the "Rain Lantern Camp", but for some unknown reason it stopped raining at this moment. The world becomes clean and quiet, with birds chirping.
Sean didn't look up when the water was dripping, nor did he pay too much attention on it. He just felt it completely. His eyes were staring at the host of the heart chakra at this moment. This barbarian old man who had behaved strangely before seemed calm at the moment. His tattooed chest rose and fell, and he exhaled a puff of smoke.
The smoke condensed and floated bluntly to the grass next to the two of them. Sean blinked and found that the white thing actually transformed into limbs, running towards the dense forest like a snow-white rabbit.
The host finally spoke: "The breakthrough journey of the Heart Palace Chakra is a journey towards the depths of the soul.
"In addition to the various incarnations of our original fear, we are very likely to see some inexplicable illusions in the refraction of the soul, the Noble Phantasm...
"I think that when you saw your old friend burning in the cave, it was just this kind of illusion."
"The true meaning of time is actually far beyond our imagination. Due to the mysterious characteristics of the soul, everything you see in the cave can be understood as seeing a scene in the future, a scene that will shock you extremely."
Sean's heart sank. He actually had his own interpretation of that scene, and what the host said only confirmed his premonition that Alicia Pompeo would encounter something unexpected soon, and her demise would happen right in front of his eyes.
"Can this future be changed?"
The Heart Palace Instructor was silent for a while, and as the wind blew by, he said: "The secret of time is beyond my wisdom, and I cannot answer this question."
Sean knew he had learned everything he wanted to know, so he bowed respectfully and said goodbye to his mentor.
As he walked out of the Rain Lantern Camp, he felt a little depressed.
Although the knight's ring still had spiritual warmth and vitality, which meant that Alicia was still alive and healthy, Sean couldn't ignore that scene.
On the other hand, he didn't want to bother her with this vision. After all, it might just be an amplification of subconscious worries. Planting a warning of death in her heart for an illusion is probably also a kind of ominous thing.
As he walked back to the square of the Spiritual Training Academy step by step, Sean suddenly found a group of people standing in front of him.
The leader wore a gilt mask with an "Eye of Exploration" engraved on the black line. Beside him, four "First Executors" in red masks stood symmetrically.
Their arrival not only attracted Sean's attention, but also temporarily stopped the explorers who were coming in and out of the spiritual academy.
Someone obviously sent by the association's top management came to Sean: "Your Excellency Shimmer Sea, I am the special representative of the association's exploration personnel team, and my mask is the 'celebrant'.
“The birth of a King-level explorer is also a big event for the association.
"We are here to welcome you and go to the Hall of Thousand Faces for the promotion ceremony."
The surrounding explorers began to whisper, and there was an atmosphere of disbelief flowing in the air: A new King class is about to be born!
Not only that, this new powerful man is actually the "Shimmer Sea" who has been rumored a lot and is promoted very quickly!
People were excited to witness this scene, and the Explorer Poker in their hearts was shaken. This news had already begun to spread before Sean became King.
He sighed slightly - he could understand the honorable treatment provided by the association to the King class... but this was not in line with his low-key style.
Now that it’s here, so be it. He didn't say anything, just nodded gently: "Please lead the way."
·
Outside the Thousand Faces Hall, Yueguang and Ivan are already waiting - they will not miss Sean's promotion ceremony.
"Congratulations, my captain!" The soloist under the moon opened his arms and said exaggeratedly.
Sean chuckled at Moonlight's exaggerated performance. After exchanging kisses with the two, Moonlight said excitedly: "Shimmer, what will your King-level mask look like?" Through Moonlight's silver mask, , Sean could see the eagerness in those eyes.
what does it look like? Sean has actually thought about it in his mind.
Ivan, the "Eye of Annihilation" on one side, held his chin with his right hand. He seemed not to hear Moonlight's question, which was more like a sigh, and actually analyzed it carefully: "The Jack class is the sea of unknown, and the Queen is the sea of twilight...
"This is obviously a process of the sea gradually becoming brighter, symbolizing the awakening of strength and wisdom.
"The new mask should have the intention of the dawn." Evan Burns said with certainty. As a result, the imagination of the new mask emerged in the minds of the three of them: the ocean suddenly appeared in the morning light, and even reflected the changing shadows of the mist.
That should be it. Sean nodded slightly, agreeing with Ivan's speculation.
Moonlight was impatient and pushed Sean towards the hall: "Okay, honey, stop dawdling, let's take a look at the new mask."
The two executors pushed open the door to the hall, and Sean walked in...
The door closes behind you. The hall was so quiet that only the crisp echo of leather shoes on the marble floor tiles could be heard.
Step by step, Sean walked towards the center of the hall. The originally empty and bright hall changed as he moved forward. The light gradually dimmed, and he saw two single sofas facing each other in the center of the hall. Next to the sofa, there is an illusory fireplace with warm firelight dancing in it.
At this moment, the scene in front of me has a completely different meaning——
The center of the hall seemed to turn into a narrow room, as if someone decided to spend the night in some museum and a fire was lit in the exhibition hall. The masks displayed in the surrounding glass quietly gazed at the people beside the fire.
The man sitting on the sofa opposite Sean was wearing a flawless white suit with a gold pin on his black tie. The same color was flashing on the fingertips of his warm red gloves. The spherical head of a cane.
The most surprising thing was the man's face. His face constantly changes with the lighting and angle, and every moment of change, he appears as a explorer's mask. In just a few blinks, Sean saw the "Silent Clerk", the "King of Skeletons", the "Weeping Flower Fairy", the "Gray Swan", and Many masks he couldn't name...
Suddenly, Sean knew who was in front of him——
The true master of the Hall of Thousand Faces: the God of Masks.
