"The Mysterious Modern Times New ( Find the latest chapter!

The Quest Center, the second basement floor, the Queen-level library.

After a ding, the iron door of the elevator slowly opened.

For the first time, Sean walked into the library with a higher level of secrecy.

The "First Executors" wearing black suits and red masks bowed respectfully to welcome after seeing the "Sea of ​​Shimmer" on Sean's face.

Sean found that since he was promoted to the Queen level, the courtesy he received was completely different from the Jack level.

Not only the staff in the association, but even the colleagues of the explorers who meet by chance, will bow their heads quite seriously.

The reason why it seems more respectful is because people in the industry understand how strong it is and how hard it is to become an elite among explorers.

People naturally have respect for those "real gold" that have been tempered.

The style of the Q-level library is completely different from that of the big library upstairs, and it can be said to be somewhat "old".

Sean could see three-dimensional bookshelves up to 4-5 floors, like high walls, carrying the dome.

Interestingly, some holes were dug out on the dome, and from those holes, many intertwined...tree roots protruded.

Very stout and old roots.

The big trees that beautify the cityscape of the New Testament have stretched their roots here.

It is not that the Quest Association is unwilling to spend energy to cut down these tree roots, but that these spiritual things have their own functions.

The ingenious designers have left magical magic on these roots that can activate the spirituality of nature.

And these spirituality can just play the role of suppressing the evil in some collections.

Natural repressive agent.

Sean looked up at the tree roots that coiled down along the bookshelves, and the "high walls" that stretched out in rows and could not be seen at a glance...

I feel as if I have stepped into the magnificent underground world

Directly in front, stood a short man in an old suit.

His mask is that of a rodent, and, somewhat comically, a round-rimmed pair of glasses on the bridge of his high, raised nose.

Sean has long heard of the "orphan collector" in the Q-level library—

His quest level is a mystery, and he is the guardian of the Q-level library.

"Welcome... esteemed explorers." The solitary book collector bowed slightly.

Sean was a little surprised to find that his voice was shrill, as if it really was a rodent that simulates humans.

Looking at his elegant body movements, Sean suddenly realized...

Due to certain traditions and rituals, some people have to play the mask he wears on certain occasions.

Over time, their personalities gradually merged with the roles they played...

And the mask is almost impossible to take off.

The personality under the mask has disappeared, and those who walk in this world are just "lone collectors".

"Anyone swallowed by... a mask?" Sean suddenly felt a little shudder.

Dedicated to his duty, to this extent.

Sean didn't know whether to feel fear, sympathy or admiration.

"Dear explorer, which book do you need to read?"

Sean came back to his senses and said solemnly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Collector.

"I need the "Explorer's Mask Guide"."

The little collector owed money: "As you wish."

He turned around, cleared his throat, and shouted toward the rear: "The Quest Mask Guide!"

After that, something moved on the shelf.

Only then did Sean see that there had always been some hairy animals climbing on the towering bookshelves.

After receiving instructions from the lone collector, they quickly climbed the shelves to find the book...

"The little ones will find the book soon." The collector turned around. "Come with me."

Following the short guardian to the side, he pushed open a door and made a gesture of inviting in.

Sean walked into the room and found a separate reading room.

"Look at it slowly, you don't have to worry." The conscientious collector closed the door.

The environment in the single reading room is good, the tables and chairs are large, and the lighting is sufficient.

When he walked to the table, Sean realized that the steaming coffee had been brewed...

And that illustrated book has already been placed on the table.

No "coffee or tea" option?

Just poured the "coffee" I would choose?

"It's almost like..." Sean shook his head, "It's almost like experiencing a mysterious event."

After all, he was still in the Quest Association, so Sean didn't worry too much.

He sat on the chair, found a comfortable position, and opened the illustrated book.

He wanted to see which mask he would flip over.

"What... what's going on?"

In Sean's surprised eyes, blank pages were reflected.

Leaning down and flipping through the pages, Sean saw that every page was empty.

There was some doubt in his heart that he had been tricked, but Sean patiently rummaged to see if there was an explanation.

Sure enough, he found a line on the title page.

His eyes were slowly relieved, and Sean secretly said, "So that's how it is..."

The Pokédex is not an extraordinary thing, but a spiritual thing.

It can only be found in the book if the reader has a clear mask in mind that needs to be inquired.

Originally, Sean planned to rely on his super memory to remember all "custom masks" and "rare masks".

"If the "Illustrated Book" is this kind of mechanism..."

Then, his plan would not come true.

With a little disappointment, Sean first tried the function of the "Illustrated Guide".

In his heart, imagining his own mask, he opened the "Illustrated Book".

On the page he turned, was a detailed drawing of the "Sea of ​​Shimmering Light"...

"The sea of ​​​​light, a custom-made mask, symbolizing the wearer..."

While watching the description, Sean suddenly discovered that the pages of the book that recorded the Sea of ​​Shimmer seemed to be very old.

It is not the special effect presented by the illustrated book, but the real vicissitudes of life, even the ink is drying quickly.

It seems to have been recorded hundreds of years ago.

However, Sean knew that the Sea of ​​Shimmer was a custom mask made for him by the "Hall of a Thousand Faces".

"So, the appearance of every mask is destined?"

He frowned.

Fatalism wasn't quite to his taste.

Unable to find a clear answer on this matter, Sean did not hesitate, closed the book again, thinking about the sketch that Solomon let him draw, and slowly opened the illustrated book...

A mask almost identical to the sketch appeared on the book page of the illustrated book.

Sean's eyes widened slightly and he began to carefully read the words beside the mask.

The name of the mask is - "the nurtured intellectual world".

"The intellectual world that was conceived?" Sean frowned, feeling that the name of the mask was a bit awkward and special.

"A rare mask of the Jack class. Symbolizing the genre functions of storyteller, writer, playwright, etc."

Sean raised his head suspiciously: "Isn't this type of mask ~lightnovelpub.net~ the 'legendary narrator by the bonfire'?"

Why is a rare mask derived?

Read on, Sean has the answer.

"...the ability to construct the world with imagination and description, the description of which is enough to resonate with the audience and bring the subjectively created world into the mind of the audience..."

Sean nodded with understanding: "That is, although the function is similar to the 'Legend Teller', the person who has this mask means a strong creative potential.

"So, it's a rare mask."

Continuing along the text, Sean's attention is caught by the last two lines

"This is……?"
