Magicians never make wishes

From the moment he came into contact with the mask, Ronan had been slowly depleting his mental energy.

At this moment, the [Analysis] section in the Properties column on the panel is flashing continuously.

He looked at the pale mask and found that its surface was covered with an extremely thin layer of disguise.

The real mask is hidden beneath this disguise.

The moment the mental energy came into contact with the lower layer of the mask, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, as if it had been absorbed by the lower layer of the mask.

This situation is similar to when he previously obtained the 'Special Meditation Method Storage Stone,' also known as the Starry Sky Meditation Method Stone.

So Ronan used the same method.

Increase the output of mental energy, allowing a massive amount of mental energy to flow down to the masks on the lower level.

At some point, it seemed that a critical point had been reached.

As the sound of shattering rang out, the disguise on the surface of the mask instantly vanished, revealing an even paler and more ferocious mask.

A sudden surge of information appeared in his mind:

【The Mask of Truth】

[Attribute: Demigod-level Boundary Key]

[Sealed Status: Partially Unsealed]

[Soul Devourer: 2]

[Functions: Soul Devouring, Stealth, Illusion, Soul Spells]

Just by looking at the complicated unlocking method, the numerous functions, and the fact that it involves demigod attributes... you can tell that this mask is no ordinary piece of equipment.

Even the Adventurers' Guild's higher authorities did not fully understand its true nature, treating it only as a tool for disguise.

Ronan attached it to his face, and the mask vanished completely the moment it touched him.

He felt several different colored orbs of light appear in his mind, piecing together to form the shape of a mask.

With a single thought, a sudden realization dawned on him.

Each cluster of light has a function.

The red orb is a soul devourer, which can be activated to absorb the souls of the dead.

The black orb is concealed and can block all kinds of detection without active activation; the degree of shielding can be freely adjusted.

The largest blue orb contains two smaller points of light, which are specifically for storing souls; the souls that are devoured are stored here.

Ronan looked closely and realized that the two small dots of light were actually two souls, one male and one female.

The white orb is an illusion that can choose any soul that has been devoured, giving it all the physical characteristics of that soul in its previous life.

This is also why the Mask of Truth was used as a disguise mask.

It's worth noting that, unlike before when you could only take on a fixed face, the Phantom Face function allows you to switch between faces at will as long as you have a soul.

The final yellow orb is a soul spell. It selects a soul to be devoured and casts a skill or spell that the soul possessed in its previous life. Each soul can only be selected once.

After Ronan understood the functions of the Mask of Truth, he was utterly astonished by these powerful abilities.

Absorb souls, shield yourself from detection, achieve perfect avatars, and even experience one-time skill bonuses...

This is much better than using your own cheat software.

Making a wish carries risks, and the power of a wish can only be used to enrich the soul and enhance spiritual strength; it's definitely too simplistic.

Ronan tried to activate the illusion, and in an instant, his consciousness appeared in the storage space of the blue light orb.

There are two faces, a man and a woman, to choose from.

The male face was that of a young man in his early twenties, with black hair and black eyes, exuding a scholarly air.

The female face is that of a mature woman in her thirties, with an unremarkable appearance.

He chose the male face without hesitation.

In an instant, he felt himself enveloped by a strange power, and then his body and face changed completely, transforming into a male appearance.

His height, appearance, and even his voice and fingerprints were exactly the same as the man's face when he was alive.

"Ah, oh..." Ronan called out twice, adjusting to the new voice, and said softly.

"From this moment forward, I am the mage Black Day."

……

"Yes, my lord mage, here is the premium storage bag you purchased."

Alice very politely handed him a black bag.

This is a premium storage bag that Ronan purchased for 150 silver wolves.

It is specially used to store the bodies of gray leaves, and its resistance to decay is the highest among all varieties.

If he could, he would also like to buy a crystal coffin, so that Gray Leaf lying inside would come to life...

Unfortunately, he was short of money and had to postpone his plans until another day.

"My lord mage, is there anything else you require?"

Alice was wearing glasses, and she felt that the person in front of her had a familiar aura, much like someone else in her heart.

"No need, thank you." Ronan, who had transformed into the darkness of day, turned and left.

His current incarnation is in his early twenties, and his height and perspective are much higher than before, which makes him feel a little dizzy when he sees Alice's two lumps of flesh on her chest.

Yes, that's the feeling... Alice thought to herself.

This attitude of being out of place with those around him and treating everyone equally quickly overlapped with the image of another person.

She couldn't help but tentatively call out to the departing figure, "Lord Baiye?"

Ronan paused, instinctively rummaging through his clothes, then his heart skipped a beat:

Did I get exposed as soon as I stepped out the door?

After some verification, he found that he still looked like a young man in his early twenties.

He turned around, bringing his face close to Alice's, attempting a final act of redemption:

"Miss, look at my face carefully, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"Lord Baiye, how did you know I was calling you?" Alice covered her face and laughed.

Ronan: "..."

The little girl is quite clever.

He reached out and pinched Alice's cheek, saying irritably.

"I'm calling you Black Day now. If you keep calling me that, I'll have to exercise my intermediate adventurer's complaint authority."

"Lord Baiye, why don't you use your intermediate adventurer status to buy things?"

Alice's eyes sparkled. "The discount is huge!"

Why didn't you say so sooner!

I've already paid all the money.

"I'm on a mission..." he said in a low voice, forcing himself to find an excuse.

"Yes, Lord White Night." Alice obediently pulled her face away from his hand.

Ronan shook his head helplessly.

I have no experience in disguising my identity, so I need to pay more attention to this in the future.

He didn't lie to Alice.

The undercover mission officially begins today.

The manager had already sent someone to inform him that he should go to the secret arts school today, and someone would come to meet him.

He bought a new ordinary long robe.

The original magic robes were now worn by a young man in his twenties.

Not only does it easily reveal one's identity, but it also looks like the final piece from some fashion shows in my past life.

Ronan spent 10 copper eagles to hire a carriage and arrived at the headquarters of the Mystic Society.

This building is smaller than the Adventurers' Guild, and its style is less rugged and more aesthetically pleasing and imbued with wisdom.

There are similar task areas in the inner hall, and other areas are filled with various books.

As soon as Ronan entered, a special greeter came forward and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Sir, what service do you require?"

The speaker was a boy of about ten years old, dressed simply but politely.

"I want to join the Arcane Academy," Ronan replied.

"No problem, sir." The boy's eyes lit up immediately. "You need to pass a simple test set by the school. The test fee is..."

Ronan was somewhat perplexed upon hearing this.

The manager said someone would come to pick me up, so why do I still need to do a test?

Why charge for a test?

"Shorty, he doesn't need to be tested." A gentle voice came from the mission area behind him.

Ronan looked in the direction of the sound.

The voice belonged to someone who looked to be in his early twenties, with medium-length blond hair, a slightly pale complexion, and wearing a white magic robe covered with luxurious gold-trimmed patterns.

He studied Ronan for a moment, then reached out and smiled, "Daytime, right?"

"It's me." Ronan also extended his hand to shake hands with the other person.

"What's your name?"

It seems that the other party is the person the manager mentioned who would meet him.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should also be an undercover agent for the Adventurers' Guild.

"Higgs," he said kindly, "and some people also call me..."

"Blood Master".
