Chapter 231 Triggering the Level 2 Player Mission
"What is in front of me, what is this?!"
In the basement of Storm's End, hundreds of candles flickered on the candlesticks placed against the wall.
The box and the text in the box suddenly appeared in front of him. Mathas was so shocked that he blinked his eyes hard several times.
As a person from a relatively backward and ignorant world, Mathas simply did not understand what was appearing in front of him.
I turned my head left and right, but the box and text in front of me were still there. I raised my hand to touch it, and ran my skinny fingers through the text, but I couldn't touch anything.
Afterwards, Mathas tried to move around, to the lighted place next to the candlestick, and used spells on the words in front of him, but no matter what he did, the words in front of him always followed him like a shadow.
"Governor Fell, do you see what you are seeing? What kind of spell is this?"
The helpless Mathas gradually became frightened. He attributed the strange things in front of him to spells. He thought someone must have cast some kind of terrible spell on his eyes.
Compared to Mathas, who has only been interested in power throughout his life, Governor Fehr, as a person in power, is obviously much calmer than Mathas when encountering unknown things.
Although he also had feelings of fear in his heart, when Penros Fair was sure that the words would not harm him, he calmed down and began to read and analyze the words carefully.
[You have obtained the core of the earth that other players gave up. Do you want it to be bound to you? 】
[Binding reward: Become a second-level player and get a copy of the truth about the world. 】
The word is the lingua franca of the Endless Sea, and everyone recognizes it. After reading it carefully, the Governor discovered the word "player".
Looking at the white spindle-shaped object in his hand again, Penros Fair probably understood.
"Read those words, Mathus!"
Feeling the panic in Mathas's soul, Governor Fell dismissed the rebuke and continued:
"This person is a player, probably the kind of person we have caught before. As for the thing you are holding in your hand, it is called the core of the earth.
I think the treasure Cocoon talks about refers to the core of the earth, and the truth about the world he talks about is also mentioned in those texts. "
Governor Fell gave his own explanation.
He just doesn't understand what the words "secondary player" and "binding" mean.
They seem to be literal, second-level players, like second-level transcendents, seem to have a more powerful identity.
But "bind", obviously, the text in front of them is asking them to bind the core of the earth, but how to bind it?
What kind of spell is needed? What kind of ceremony? The text in front of me obviously didn't explain it clearly.
Facing unknown things, they don't know how to prepare or operate.
After being reminded by the governor, Mathas gradually became less frightened as to who had cast a spell on his eyes.
After a moment, after carefully reading the text, Mathas and the Governor had a common question.
"Bind...the core of the earth?"
Gently raising the white spindle-shaped object in his hand, Mathas was thinking about which ritual was appropriate.
But the Governor, who had been sinking for a long time, remembered something.
A few months ago, his soldiers captured several players.
During the harsh interrogation of players, they mentioned words such as "system", "panel", and "mind control".
As he thought about it further, the Governor gradually remembered that a player said during the interrogation——
"You can control the system panel with your thoughts".
Although now that I think about it, there are still many words whose meanings are unclear, but perhaps we can try "idea".
"Use your mind? Just think about binding? No need to supplement with spells or potions?"
After listening to the governor's explanation, Mathas felt like it was a fantasy.
Although he had participated in the interrogation of one or two players, Mathas was only interested in power, and he did not pay attention to those weird things.
"Just give it a try. This is something from another world, and the rules here are different."
The Governor scolded him in an annoyed tone, saying that Mathas only cared about strength, which made the Governor feel like he was being held back.
"Well, I hope your words are useful."
Mathas replied, then looked at the core of the earth and meditated on binding it in his heart.
At the same time, Governor Fell was also meditating on the binding in his heart.
The next moment, the text in front of them changed.
[You are bound to the core of the earth]
[You become a player, you become a secondary player]
[You get the player system]
[You have opened the personal panel bar, system backpack bar, and task bar]
[After agreeing to start the player cycle and go to a random new world, you will receive player talents and join the chat channel]
[You become a second-level player]
[The long-term contribution task for second-level players has been started]
[Level 2 player contribution redemption rights have been unlocked]
[You triggered the secondary player task:
Use the Earth's Core to explore the Endless Sea (level 5 world), the fragments of the Creator that exist, and the Godhead. 】
[You have obtained a copy of the truth about the world]
As lines of text scrolled, the interface in front of the Governor and Mathas changed.
Several tabs appear in a single box, each tab is labeled with text.
Except that talents and chat channels are unavailable, in other respects, it is the same as the player's system.
And at the same time that the system panel in front of them changed, an extremely large amount of information was stuffed into the minds of the Governor and Mathas.
The Creator God above thousands of stars, countless worlds, are divided into levels from one to five...
The person who is chosen in the specific world travels to another world, replaces another soul, and becomes a player...
The player opens the system and gets a talent.
Their situations are different, some are smooth, and some die quickly.
The system will issue many tasks to the players. Some players complete these tasks and they are upgraded to level 2 players.
The system gives the level 2 players a white shuttle-shaped earth core, and gives them new goals and tasks:
Repair the God of Creation, repair the system, find the fragments of the Creator, the holy objects...
As long as the system tasks are completed, you can get contribution points, which can be exchanged for godhood, or...
In those dangerous level 5 worlds, there may be some godhoods scattered around.
But these tempting powers can only be obtained by those who are capable, so as to quickly surpass other level 2 players and upgrade to level 3 players who transcend the power of the specific world.
In addition, in these information, there are also explanations of various different worlds and various different power systems.
Because the amount of information is too huge, and the content of the information is too shocking to the governor and Marsas of the ignorant world.
Their shared body trembled slightly, and they unconsciously held the edge of the stone platform, and could only spend time to slowly understand those things.
On the other side.
At some point, the black crystal on the stone table had gone out, and the lava lord cocoon had retracted the flame and consciousness.
Cocoon was in a critical period of awakening at this time, and he could not spare the energy to deal with the basement.
When the tortured player X gave up the core of the earth, he had to retract his consciousness and try his best to break through the confinement and wake himself up completely.
The smell of burnt lake, rotten smell, accompanied by the smell of blood and mold rushed into his nasal cavity. With his head lowered, X woke up from a coma after being tortured by extreme pain, and he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, X was tall and strong like a bear, and his body was completely soaked in sweat. His messy hair stuck to his face, and a trace of blood flowed from it.
In addition to the escape skill particle escape, X also has a passive skill, which can enhance the physique, resist blows, and accelerate the recovery of pain.
Not abnormally powerful, but definitely stronger than ordinary people.
But now, X, who was not tortured to death and had already woken up, did not feel lucky at all.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he looked at his feet, where he dropped the Earth Core before he fainted.
It was horrifying, but not surprising. X found only damp and moldy water stains at his feet, and blood dripping from his hands. Was there no Earth Core?
"No, no, no! This can't be like this!"
Annoyed, remorseful, and flustered, X looked up and looked around.
Soon, he saw a skull face holding the corner of the table with one hand next to the wall where the stone table was placed and full of candles.
At this moment, Marsas was facing away from him, with his head slightly lowered and moving.
X thought of something, and looked at Marsas's hand as if he didn't dare to confirm it. Sure enough, Marsas was holding his Earth Core in his other hand.
X, who knew the rules of the players, immediately understood that the skull face, or the two souls in the skull face's body, had obtained the core of the earth, which triggered the system's task of binding the core of the earth.
They completed the binding task, and at that moment, the two strange souls had directly become level 2 players from natives.
And now, if I guessed correctly, they who had never seen the world must be digesting the truth of the world.
As for himself, although he was still a level 2 player, he had lost the foundation of being a level 2 player.
The heart-piercing regret and remorse came again, and X gritted his teeth and resisted hysteria.
Because the core of the earth had been lost, he would definitely not be able to beat the skull face with his own ability.
But be rational, he can still escape in the current situation.
Open the system panel and check it quickly.
Fortunately, when the cocoon was torturing him, the system panel was affected for a time, but now the cocoon has left and the system has returned to its original state.
'Fortunately it's still there! Fortunately it's still there! '
Looking at the panel in front of him, X breathed a sigh of relief with relief.
He didn't dare to speak too loudly, because it was obvious that he had no effect on the skull face. Once they digested the truth of the world, they would definitely kill him.
So, X didn't dare to make a noise and attract the other party's attention at this time.
Switching the system panel tab, X looked at the energy value column.
Before the cocoon tortured him, his energy value had recovered to 28, and he was only two points away from using particle escape.
And now it's been so long...
Sure enough, the skill particle escape can be used.
A smile appeared on his extremely embarrassed face, and X used particle escape.
As the skill was cast, electric light flashed all over his body, and the next second, the stone chair that bound him was empty.
In the dark and moldy basement, the candlelight swayed without wind.
On the other side.
In the originally quiet brick and stone room, a rustling sound of robes dragging on the ground came from far away.
The governor and Marsas, who had almost understood the players and the truth of the world, no longer supported the stone table.
They stood up straight and turned around, ignoring the approaching apprentice Masas, and instead looked at the empty stone chair first.
‘Did he run away? Ha! ’
Masas’ dry eyelids narrowed. They already understood the players and the truth of the world, so they were more or less indifferent to the stray dog who was not as strong as them and had lost the core of the earth.
Retracting his contemptuous look, Masas looked at his apprentice.
“My lord.”
Seeing the teacher looking over, the pale-faced apprentice in a black robe hurriedly saluted to Marsas, and then respectfully said to the governor:
"What's the matter?"
A strong and deep voice sounded, and it was Governor Ponros Fell who took over the control of the mouth and asked the apprentice.
"The Violet Eye and the representatives of the Black and White Institute are still requesting to land on the island.
As for your ministers..."
The apprentice paused, secretly glanced at his teacher's thin face, and continued:
"Your ministers hope that you will allow the Violet Eye and the Black and White Institute to land on the island, and hope that you will allow them to capture Lord Marsas."
At this moment, the Violet Eye and the Black and White Institute, under the advice of the Red Falcon of the Ring of the Earth, both believed that the murderer who created the bloodless corpse in the reef cave and killed Jory was Marsas.
For the Black and White Institute, Marsas is a traitor.
For the Violet Eye, Marsas is the sinner who bloodbathed the apprentice of the Weaver.
For the Ring of Earth, Marsas is a wanted criminal with a huge reward from the king.
Now, the three forces have determined that Marsas is in Windbreak City. They came here for this purpose, just waiting for Governor Fell to allow them to land on the island.
But the three forces could never imagine that the Governor had colluded with Marsas long ago, and even used the forbidden spell of soul fusion to share a body in order to advance to the fifth level.
"Hehehe——"
Hearing his apprentice say this, Marsas took control of the mouth and laughed contemptuously and mockingly while the Governor was silent.
Marsas was full of confidence at the moment. He had become a player, obtained the system, and saw his visualized skills on his personal panel.
There are also things that can be exchanged for the contribution of the second-level player, not to mention the truth of the whole world...
This made Marsas, who only pursued power all his life, overjoyed.
Marsas, who got a clear promotion route, looked at those forces with extreme contempt.
Even though those forces were powerful forces in the first echelon of the Endless Sea, and even though Marsas was originally afraid of them and had been hiding from them.
But now, Marsas, who has been promoted to the fifth level and the second-level player, sees them as ants.
"Our promotion has reached a critical moment, send them back."
Perhaps hearing that they were coming to arrest him, Marsas was disdainful and unhappy, and he took over the governor's job without waiting for him to speak.
Marsas believed that the governor could not refute, because at the moment, they had just obtained the system and there were still many things to study, such as the second-level player tasks they triggered.
There was no time to waste on a group of insignificant people.
But at the moment, Governor Fel didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't speak for a long time, which made Marsas a little anxious, so he asked:
"Governor Fel, now..."
"Change your body back, I'll go see them."
Grabbing control of the tongue, the governor interrupted Marsas.
But unlike in the past when he always thought Marsas was stupid, this time there was a smile in the Governor's voice, and he seemed to be planning something.
