In the forest of the secret realm outside the world, in the ignorance of only surviving in the wilderness,
Finally, I heard the voice of a crisp and laughing voice.
Looking at the girl who jumped down from an old tree with fallen leaves, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old,
A little less is immature, and a little more is not agile enough.
Makes such a wonderful impression.
Unlike the clothing of any dynasty in history, but it is definitely not modern. The easy-to-move cloud white sleeves are elegant and decorated with exquisite and unusual Huasheng red brocade.
What surprised Fangran the most was not that wearing this kind of clothes on her was like a match made in heaven.
Instead, as soon as the other party appeared, he looked him up and down, as if he had finally seen something he had been curious about for a long time, and wished he could see some flowers in him.
"That.... May I ask you are...?"
A little unable to withstand this gaze, Fangran looked at her and asked tentatively,
"You're Fangran. You're going to be at midnight recently, right?"
But for his question, the girl just answered the question with a smile, so Fangran had no choice but to nod in a daze.
"Ah, yes, to accept an invitation from a senior, Grandma Shui sent me here."
"Hey, Grandma Shui"
Listening to the title mentioned in Fangran's words, the girl nodded clearly, and then said in a brisk tone again:
"In short, you are going to midnight, right, I will show you the way."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked in one direction,
Fangran had no choice but to follow quickly.
Following the mysterious girl in the cloud-white and red brocade dress, walking in the huge forest of sunshine and tree shadows,
The strongest feeling is that the painting style of myself wearing a coat and trousers is simply out of place...
"That... Isn't this... Midnight?"
Fangran tried to talk to her, looking up at the mysterious scenery lined with ancient trees, he didn't know how to express his surprise, so he asked vaguely,
"If you mean Midnight from the outside world, of course this place counts, but strictly speaking, this should be the edge of Midnight,"
Walking briskly in the forest, she immediately understood Fangran's meaning. There was a lightness in the girl's words, as if she had thought of a very appropriate explanation.
She said with a smile like an example:
"The yard, like the yard around the house."
courtyard...
Glancing at the mysterious forest behind her, she was silently ashamed of her example, but conceptually understood what was going on,
Fangran couldn't help but look at her and continued to ask:
"Then why was I teleported to this kind of place?"
"An outsider can only enter Midnight with permission, and all but himself are barred,"
Leaping up, he plucked the vermilion wild fruit from a passing tree. It seemed that he just took a bite out of wanting to pick it off and taste it.
The girl strolled ahead in a leisurely manner, making one wonder if she was leading the way properly.
But it was true that after she appeared, the animals that had only heard her before but disappeared all ran out one after another.
"The reason why you were teleported to this kind of place should be a small error caused by something else coming in with you, but not being rejected."
Seeing her casually feeding the fruit that she just ate, to those "beautiful animals" that she couldn't recognize any of them,
Fangran recalled that when he stepped into the teleportation, he had some puzzled doubts:
"But I'm all by myself..."
"(°?°*) la meow!"
"So it's you!!!"
Hearing the cry of F-233 above his head, Fangran immediately reacted and grabbed it off, rubbing his teeth itchy.
Knowing the reason why he was thrown into the mountains, this time he looked at the mysterious girl leading the way in front of him,
The kind of lightness and liveliness unique to this age reveals an indescribable mystery.
Curious about her identity, Fangran wondered if she was a descendant or disciple of a night watchman, but he was not sure if such a relationship existed in Midnight,
Feeling embarrassed to ask directly, he changed direction instead.
"That...is there anyone else besides the night watchman in the middle of the night?"
"Of course there is. After all, the night watchman is the identity of that gentleman's will. Naturally, there will be predecessors who have relinquished their duties and lived in seclusion in their later years, and younger generations who are not night watchmen,"
Hearing Fangran ask this, under the shadow of the sun and trees, the girl in the red brocade and white skirt explained with a smile, but the tone of the next sentence was slightly lighter,
"But now it's pretty much just the older generation left here..."
But before Fangran noticed the difference in these words, she turned around with her skirt and smiled lightly:
"Anyway, you'll know exactly what it looks like after you go to see it."
And then this moment,
Fangran saw that his vision brightened. The forest he had been walking for so long had ended.
"Here we are."
Hearing the joyful voice of the girl leading the way, Fangran raised his eyes to look...
"Eh?"
Unexpectedly, there was only an open space in front of me, and the cliff next to it was steep and steep.
"People from the outside world need to pass trials if they want to go to midnight,"
When Fangran wondered what was going on, the figure of the girl in front of him clapped his hands, and the sound of the lifting frame released from the iron chain came from the cliff,
A five-six-meter-tall mechanism colossus carrying a sharp bronze ax appeared with a bang!
"First you have to beat it."
Trial
Listening to her sudden words, I thought this was a normal part. Looking at the giant statue of a C-level mechanism in front of me, eagerness for the challenge flashed in my eyes,
"Please advance this kind of thing..."
Facing the gigantic figure of the organ rushing like a high-speed truck, Fang Ran swept the Silver Broken Dragon Fang in his hand,
"By the way, maybe you've figured it out too,"
But at this moment, the girl in the embroidered red dress on top of the clouds showed a sly smile like a fox deliberately playing tricks.
"The space where Ziye is located is special, and the effects of spells, movements, and most abilities will be suppressed to 10%."
So you should talk about this kind of thing earlier! ! !
Seeing the huge bronze ax rushing forward, like a colossus of a mechanism that wants to split himself in half as firewood, Fangran panicked and avoided it while his ability was 'shrinking' and was almost cut down...
...
"This is a place more than ten feet below, and there is a kind of ice spirit fish inhabiting it. Your test is very simple, just catch one."
In a quiet cold pool surrounded by green rocks, he finally managed to defeat the colossus of the mechanism. Fangran listened to the explanation of the girl next to him. He had just breathed a sigh of relief and went into the water, having experience in catching fish in the North Pole.
When I failed for the first time and was directly pulled ashore by a tail, I heard...
"The ice spirit fish is about three feet long, so it's easy to identify."
...
"There is a kind of green beast near here. It is a small four-legged beast with green hair, very light and fast. You have to catch up with it and grab some of its hair."
Listening to the content of her trial this time, she struggled with a nine-meter-long 'big fish' in the water, and finally caught it ashore with difficulty.
Fangran, who was thrown into the water when he was released, looked at his target this time, and disappeared with a 'swoosh' the moment he saw him, his expression became very complicated for a moment.
No, your mother is running fast too...
Finally, with the super weakened version of stealth and noise reduction, it was difficult to get the fur from the 'rabbit' who would run away immediately if there was any movement.
Fangran watched as he was busy,
The girl in the red brocade and white dress was crouching on the rock, quietly approaching like a cat, and then...
"I catch!"
"La meow!"
The black meow ball flashed upwards out of nowhere, making her jump into the air.
щ(°Д°#щ) co-author Have you two already played it!
...
Going up the mountain, going into the water, climbing trees, jumping off cliffs, fishing and catching birds... .
Trials of all kinds come surging,
The girl who followed him led the way, relying on his weakened but still present ability, thinking of representing the face of Grandma Shui who sent him here,
Without a word of complaint, Fangran finally overcame them one by one with difficulty.
Although the difficulty is very nonsense, I always feel that it is quite interesting to see all kinds of things and scenery here a little bit.
Of course, if you ask Fangran, he won't admit it...
Facing the impact of the huge waterfall, he climbed up abruptly from below, looking at the still energetic Lamiao next to him, Fangran couldn't help but roll his eyes while spitting.
As expected of the Midnight Trial...
If it wasn't for his ability, he would probably be in suspense even if he was replaced by Osfia at the C level...
"Hey, you're pretty good."
Maintaining the posture of just climbing up, looking at the corner of the skirt at the upper edge of the field of vision, Fangran just asked with a long sigh:
"What's next?"
"Hehehe, it's really interesting."
Laughing like a spring, the girl who had been observing Fangran for several hours, smiled brightly and happily expressed her thoughts.
"The trial is over."
"Eh?"
Hearing her sudden words again, Fangran raised his head in surprise, in the light that was almost sunset,
He could only vaguely see her smile.
"Young man, welcome to Midnight."
Then when he was slightly taken aback, then stood up and raised his head to see everything in front of him clearly,
Looking at the ancient buildings like palaces and pavilions, distributed on the entire mountain peak, surrounded by mist and mist, just like the ethereal scene in the fairyland in the legendary picture scroll,
Fangran even suspected that he had crossed...
