Last time, Qin Feng couldn't see any information about the woman in the white robe at all.
But this time, as the figure of the woman in the white robe condensed and took shape in front of Qin Feng, he saw a string of words above her head:
——
[The Trial Envoy · Ashashis (Lv???)]
——
The Trial Envoy!
This woman in the white robe was indeed related to the Trial Authority!
"Envoy of the gods..."
While Qin Feng was on guard, the white-robed Trial Envoy named 'Ashashis' had already knelt down on one knee in front of him and bowed in salute!
She was wrapped in a white robe, and her specific figure couldn't be clearly seen.
But under the white hood was a delicate and holy face.
This time, Qin Feng saw clearly that she had a pair of pale golden eyes, with terrifying power flowing within them.
When she condensed her figure up close, Qin Feng faintly heard an extremely ancient whisper echoing and surging in his ears!
"Mo, Men, Ha, Sa..."
It was the Ancient God Language!
Qin Feng had some knowledge of the Ancient God Language and could barely understand a series of sacred 'whispers'. But now, the key point was...
Qin Feng realized one thing!
"If the NPCs who are assigned to the God Forsaken Game on Blue Star, they will be endowed with the language ability of humans in various regions of Blue Star."
"For example, the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickley."
"Arranged outside the ruins of Jianghai City in Daxia, he would learn the Daxia language because of the power of the rules."
"This Ashashis speaks the Ancient God Language instead of the Daxia language..."
"That means she didn't come here by being assigned."
"She came here by her own power!"
As for where she came from, Qin Feng suspected it was the 'Land of Order' or the even higher-level 'Highest Heaven'!
In the ninth year of the previous life, players on Blue Star had reached the Land of Order.
As for the 'Highest Heaven', it was only rumored to exist. At least for players on Blue Star, it was still just a legend.
Regardless of where Ashashis came from, Qin Feng could be sure that her level was much higher than that of an 'NPC' like the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vickley.
And the Ancient God Language that lingered in Qin Feng's ears, he quickly understood it.
"The Ancient Gods have perished... You are the inheritor of the Trial Authority..."
"I will follow you... Witness you become the true God of Judgment..."
"Please accept the gift I have prepared for you..."
Ashashis raised her head, with a pale golden light flowing in her eyes.
When she stretched out her hands, in her snow-white and flawless palms, she was holding a pale golden bell!
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment.
Then he reached out and took the pale golden bell.
——
[Ashashis' Summoning Bell: The bell made by the Trial Envoy · Ashashis with the power of rules. You can use it once when you reach levels 25, 35, and 50 respectively to summon the Trial Envoy · Ashashis to descend.]
[Each time you summon, you will get a chance to challenge a special ruin. The difficulty and rewards will increase in turn!]
——
Seeing the introduction of this bell, Qin Feng felt a bit helpless.
"Is it like the growth package in crappy web games and mobile games?"
"And it can only be used once at levels 25, 35, and 50 respectively?"
In that case, the level requirement for the last temple was level 5, and this time it was level 15?
In terms of difficulty, this time defending the Ice Tide Crystal was indeed much more difficult than exploring the maze with traps last time.
Although it took less time, if it were someone else, they could explore the maze by spending time, but defending the Ice Tide Crystal was extremely easy to fail, and it was almost impossible to complete it alone!
"The increase in difficulty span is a bit large..."
"What would be the difficulty of the level 25 ruin challenge?"
"And what would the rewards be? It definitely wouldn't just be an Epic-level treasure chest, right?"
Immediately after that, Qin Feng looked at the last introduction of this 'Summoning Bell'.
——
[After using it three times, this item will disappear. If you successfully complete the three challenges, you can invite the Trial Envoy · Ashashis to settle in your hiding place and provide the 'Skill Upgrade' function!]
——
This was a very common function in the God Forsaken Game, inviting NPCs to settle in one's own hiding place.
However, the conditions for inviting NPCs to settle in were extremely harsh.
On the one hand, there was a high reputation requirement, and on the other hand, it was necessary to meet very harsh conditions and complete the tasks of the NPC.
Of course, once an NPC could be invited to settle in the hiding place, it would definitely bring a huge boost to the development of a guild or a force.
According to the different rules of NPCs, different NPCs provided different functions after being invited.
There were those who crafted equipment.
There were those who provided the sale of special resources.
There were those for garbage recycling.
There were even extremely special functions like equipment enhancement!
As for Ashashis' 'Skill Upgrade' function, its effect was very significant.
Each skill of each player had a level requirement.
After learning it, if a higher-level skill book of the same skill was encountered, it could be overwritten to upgrade the skill level and thus enhance the skill effect.
For example, for Qin Feng's 'Shadow Concealment' skill, when the level requirement was raised from level 1 to level 10, both the invisibility time and the Breaking Invisibility Attack were greatly improved.
And the 'Skill Upgrade' function that Ashashis could provide at that time was to consume lifespan to directly upgrade the required level of the skill!
In the middle and late stages, there would be no need to painstakingly search for various high-level skill books.
Especially...
For Epic-level skills!
It was extremely difficult to upgrade the required level!
And with an NPC with the 'Skill Upgrade' function, as long as lifespan was consumed, the required level of the skill could be upgraded. One could imagine how important it was!
At this time, Ashashis saw that Qin Feng had taken the 'Summoning Bell' and didn't leave immediately.
Instead, she bowed towards Qin Feng and communicated in the Ancient God Language again:
"Please choose a skill... You have a free opportunity to upgrade a skill to your current level..."
Qin Feng found that when encountering this NPC, if one didn't know the Ancient God Language, it would be really impossible to communicate.
One couldn't even understand what she was saying.
Fortunately, Qin Feng knew a little bit.
"Choose a skill for free and upgrade it to my current level 16?"
"Then I have to choose the highest-grade 'Grace's Liberation', right?"
For other skills, Qin Feng might be able to obtain higher-level ones and just replace them directly.
Only for 'Grace's Liberation', this skill came from the Epic-level treasure chest in the ruin challenge. Later, even if he killed an Epic-level boss, the probability of dropping the 'Grace's Liberation' skill book was extremely low.
"I choose to upgrade, Grace's Liberation."
Qin Feng looked at the skill list that popped up in front of him and clicked to choose Grace's Liberation!
When he made the choice, his 'Grace's Liberation' skill finally had its level requirement upgraded from the initial level 5 to level 16!
——
[Grace's Liberation (Mythical)]: Weakness Attack Modifier + 300% → 410%, Weakness Attack Multiplier doubled. Level 16
[Active Use: Make your next attack cause a 'Throat Cut' effect, dealing 200% → 310% of the damage of this attack per second for 3 seconds. Cooldown 15 (6.97) seconds.]
——
Qin Feng was well aware that the upgrade of the skill's level requirement only brought about numerical changes.
So he was already quite satisfied with this upgrade of Grace's Liberation.
After all, this was a free service.
Even though the change didn't seem big, this upgrade had already increased the total damage of the active 'Throat Cut' effect of Grace's Liberation from 600% to 930%!
