Following the direction of the petals being blown by the wind, Xu Mo walked deep into the forest along the shallow and narrow path lined up by road stones. Not long after, he saw what seemed to be lights not far away.
The purple dogtail grass swayed in the same direction. Huge purple vines grew from the ground and under the roots of different plants in all directions in the forest to encircle a distant land. The lantern-like flowers on the wisteria had radiant cores in the center. The bright purple light, combined with the flying creatures like purple fireflies, illuminated the dark forest.
At the entrance of the boundary circled by wisteria, a huge lantern hangs high above the rattan fence. A circular totem appears in the center of the ground under the rattan fence. On both sides of the totem stand two cats with the same cat as Xu Mo. The guard at the ear is leaning against the vines and chatting.
After Xu Mo trotted over, the two guards turned to look at him, and the one on the left asked him with a smile on his face: "Are you a newborn under the Bauhinia tree?"
"It should be. Is this... Yueyin Village?" Xumo asked politely.
"Yes, this is Yueyin Village, your birthplace." The one on the right put on the same smile as the one on the left, then pointed to the round totem between them, and said to Xu Mo, "Please stand there Come here."
Xu Mo walked to the center of the totem according to his words, and the purple light pattern on the totem immediately spun, and then a strong purple light enveloped Xu Mo from bottom to top, making him close his eyes unconsciously... Waiting for the strong light to shine After closing his eyelids, he opened his eyes again, and found that he was already in the middle of a lively square.

The ground under the feet has wood patterns and exudes the fragrance of the forest. Looking around, many wooden houses seem to be arranged at wrong heights, but if you look carefully, you will find that these houses are self-contained with the ground. They all seem to be works of art grown by nature.
Purple vines can also be seen everywhere here, turning the ground into a circle, but looking through the gaps of the vines, there are many gaps in the air blown by the wind, which makes Xu Mo quickly understand-it turns out that he is standing On the top of a huge tree, its branches become the roads and land here, while the stems and leaves cooperate with the efforts of the people here to weave a wonderful house structure.
In addition, in the distance, a huge vine spreads into the sky with the momentum of reaching the sky, and countless lanterns and flowers flicker on it, which is very eye-catching, and Xu Mo is amazed to see it. There were many men and women with the same cat ears as me standing in the square, some of them just rushed past, some stood on one side and peddled goods, and most of them stayed in the corner in a daze or slept.
"A newcomer?" A muscular man with cat ears was wearing a set of white light armor, a cloak with a moon pattern on his back, and a sledgehammer hanging from his waist. He had walked in front of Xu Mo at some point.
"Yes... I just came here." Xu Mo stared at him blankly.
"Very good, welcome to wake up, there is another hope in this world. My name is Grom, and I am the commander of the guard army of Moon Hidden Village. Every time a newcomer appears, I will wait here." Grom He clasped his hands and gave a military salute to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo immediately followed suit with a military salute in return.
At this time, Grom took out a letter from the gap between the wrists of the light armor, and explained to Xu Mo: "This is your letter of proof as a new student in Moon Hidden Village - walk northeast and bypass a vine, you will You will see the hotel, take this to the hotel owner, and she will arrange a place for you."
"Thanks."
Xu Mo took the letter and was about to ask the commander more about the world, but he spoke first: "There are many adventurers in the hotel, if you want to collect information, go to the hotel." After speaking, he gave another military salute and continued to patrol the square.
"Northeast direction, northeast direction..." Xu Mo went around in a circle, and when he turned to a direction, his cat ears flipped a few times unconsciously, and he felt that the direction was correct, so he walked away with a stride.
Going around the cover of a vine, Xu Mo saw a brightly lit and bustling three-story wooden house, with symbols of wine glasses and beds hanging on the door plate, it should be no different from a hotel.

Push open the half-height wooden revolving door, and you will be greeted with a warm and lively scene. The orange candlelight is covered under the lampshade made of lantern flowers, placed on the tabletop, roof beams, and the ground. In short, it is all over the room. In the gourd-shaped Nuo Da bar area, there are people sitting all over the place, except for most of them are of the same race with cat ears on their heads, Xu Mo also saw a few pale characters with silver hair, big tails and ears, Slightly larger than most with cat ears. People cheered and cheered, and a happy atmosphere filled the air. Only a silver-tailed guy with silver hair reaching his waist and dressed in white was holding a guqin and singing a song he couldn't understand out of tune. There seemed to be a faint sadness hidden in the song , when Xu Mo heard it when he walked by him, he felt it like this.
"Are you the owner of the hotel? This is the letter that Grom asked me to bring to you." Xu Mo walked through the bar area, went straight to the front desk at the end, and said to the cat-eared lady who was busy with the accounts behind the counter.
"Newcomers~Welcome!~" Ms. Mao Er opened the envelope and glanced at it, her face immediately burst into a smile, "Oh, it's been a long time since I saw a newcomer, I really miss the swarm of newcomers earlier what a sight!"
"Has there been no newcomers for a long time? How can I see that this place is very lively?" Xu Mo pointed to the lively wine table behind him.
"I'm talking about newcomers! The real newcomers, like you who just woke up from under the redbud tree! Nope - I haven't seen it for a long time, and the people who are wandering here now have been in the village for some time Most of them have never seen anything in the world, of course it can’t be blamed on them, I heard that the outside world is not so good, it’s safest to stay in Yueyin Village.” Saying that, the proprietress pointed to the table The white stone on the top - this stone is very similar to the city return stone in Xumo's bag in terms of shape and color, but it's a little bigger, and a piece of kraft paper is pressed under the stone.
"Stretch out your hand and put it on the back stone to make a mark." The proprietress instructed.
Although he didn't understand very well, Xu Mo obediently put his right hand on the stone, a burst of warmth flowed through his palm, and a row of strange dark purple graphic fonts automatically appeared on the kraft paper under the stone, but Xu Mo naturally Able to understand its meaning—Xu Mo, male, warrior of Yueyin Village, level 1.
"Very good! Now that your registration has been completed, your room has already been arranged. Go up to the second floor and go to the right, and the room with your name on the door will be there." The proprietress kept smiling , "If you are tired, go upstairs to rest. If you need other orders, please feel free to ask. Because this is your birthplace, the hotel is free, but the food needs money! ~—Although freshmen have three days The discount for free meals, but after three days, you will be ready to pay for food and drinks. My suggestion is to go to the owner of the diagonal grocery store to learn the skills of picking herbs. I have been collecting herbs here. Guaranteed to make money. By the way, you don’t have any combat skills yet, right? The warrior trainer should be in the weapon shop next to the chief’s house. If you don’t know anything about fighting, it’s very dangerous to go out into the wild.”
After listening to a lot of hints from the hotel proprietress, Xu Mo understood his next step, but these were not the focus of his concern.
[Our Brave Continent is a very open and huge world! The so-called open world means that there is no designated route! Everything a brave man does will have an impact on this continent...] Xu Mo suddenly remembered Teresa's introduction, and decided to break the rules and see how open this open world can be.
Therefore, Xu Mo looked at the cat-eared lady behind the bar sincerely, and asked, "Miss Boss, I want to go to Hongyue Castle, do you know how to get there?"
"Hongyue Castle?" The proprietress showed a puzzled expression, "What kind of place is this? I haven't even heard of it."
"Isn't there people coming and going here every day? You should have seen a lot of people, right? Haven't you met any adventurer from Rainbow Moon Castle?" Xu Mo felt that the proprietress's reaction didn't fit the setting. .
"No... We are the children of the forest protected by the soul. We have been protected here by the guardian prophet Kleiya for hundreds of years. Only the people of the forest with the same blood can get the permission of the soul and Kleiya to break through the enchantment Entering Yueyin Village, so I really haven’t seen anyone from Hongyue Castle.” The landlady answered seriously with her chin propped up, and then there was a voice calling her to serve the wine quickly, and she immediately stood up. Cat ears, with the same bright smile just now, said to Xu Mo, "I'll go and work on it, if you have any questions, I'll talk about it later."
-
After the proprietress hopped away, Xu Mo turned around and met the sad eyes of the white-clothed and white-tailed boy who was sitting on one side playing the guqin and singing softly.
Xu Mo walked forward unconsciously, and before he could speak, the white-clothed boy opened the scene first: "Do you want to go to Hongyue Castle?" His voice was ethereal and a faint fragrance, and his silver-white pupils were transparent. There seemed to be a spell in it, which made Xu Mo feel a little dazed for a moment.
"Yes... I want to go to Rainbow Moon Castle." Forced himself to calm down, swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat silently, and replied.
The boy in white smiled slightly, and asked him in a teasing tone: "Let's not talk about whether you can go to Hongyue Castle... I'm not even sure, but whether you can get out of Yueyin Village..."
"Why? How did I enter Yueyin Village just now, how will I leave Yueyin Village in the future?" Xu Mo still didn't understand what he meant.
"The newly born redbud tree still belongs to the range of Moon Hidden Village. All of this is within the barrier demarcation of the Guardian Prophet Kleiya. So far, I can guarantee that you have never left Moon Hidden Village... In fact, there are very few people who can get out of Claire's enchantment, not to mention you are still a newcomer who doesn't know anything..." As he said, the boy raised his wide sleeves and covered the corner of his mouth and coughed lightly twice. "I see you like this, there is no one who can't go out for a year or so..."
