Chapter 22: The Waterfall

Twilight moved her left shoulder slightly, and the ragdoll rabbit lying on it immediately hugged her neck nervously, "This is Ye Qian,"

She introduced them to each other, "Arsen, my friend. ”

Twilight smiled at Ye Qian.

After the rabbit staggered and stood firmly on Twilight's shoulder, he put his hands on his stomach and bent down respectfully, "Hello Lord Ye Qian, down here is Lord Twilight's future deacon Asen." ”

"Hello,"

Ye Qian looked at Ah Sen curiously, "I've never seen anything like this...... Rabbit...... Why is it called Assen? ”

"Well, I found it in the forest."

Twilight said a few words simply, without much explanation, and turned to Ye Qian and asked, "Why were you trapped in the quagmire before?" ”

After Ye Qian got the mechanical device and the excess rattan that they had placed under the tree, the canopy exposed in the mud pool indirectly used rattan to make a channel, as if crossing the previous ravine, and slowly moved forward above the quagmire.

It stands to reason that with enough care, she shouldn't fall into the mud.

"Something was hitting a branch in the mud, and somehow my feet slipped ......"

Ye Qian said with a scared face, her expression a little nervous, "It's like, it seems that something is dragging me in the quagmire." ”

Twilight nodded, asked Ye Qian to wait here, and then turned around and went back to pick up the little things that were still floating on the surface of the quagmire.

The quiver he got from Kururi was different from Shikazawa's before, it was narrow and long, and he couldn't hold much, so Twilight simply took out the few white feather arrows left in it and pinned them to his waist, and filled it with small things.

Unlike the attack suffered by Ye Qian, Twilight could also see the whirlpools in the mud along the way, but she still stepped steadily on the floating island made of small things, and walked here smoothly.

The whirlpool maker in the quagmire seems to actively avoid the small things, and can easily build a rattan bridge when he gets the mechanism in the first level, maybe the small things are similar to the key to the level.

With the full cooperation of Twilight, Ye Qian and Ah Sen, they left the quagmire smoothly.

Twilight empties the remaining quiver back into the mire, and they converge again into miniature floating islands, like duckweed in the mire, swaying away with the occasional whirlpool.

After leaving the quagmire, the ground was still nowhere to be seen before the dense grass, and the dead branches and fallen leaves gradually increased, as if walking to the edge of the forest.

It wasn't long before they heard the loud sound of water crashing into the pool from top to bottom.

"So, the key to the ravines is this,"

She pointed to the mechanical device that Ye Qian put away and hung on her waist, "The key to the quagmire is a small thing, but what about the waterfall?" ”

They looked at each other.

I thought that the lamp oil was a level, and the fire was another level, but I didn't expect that after they crossed the quagmire, there would be a waterfall in front of them.

After a few more steps, the trees that had obscured their view disappeared, and even the fog that had been haunting them seemed to dissipate considerably.

A waterfall not too wide, but large enough to block their path, appeared in front of them.

After Twilight and Shikazawa separated, they made their way through layers of fog to get here, and although the surrounding environment was chaotic, she was clear in her heart.

Although the things encountered were somewhat unexpected, the character cultivated in the orphanage since childhood made the determined Twilight more and more curious, what was waiting for her at the end of this road?

Although Asen's background is a little suspicious, he always seems to be a cute and loyal friend.

Coupled with Ye Qian beside her, Twilight felt full of power.

The first thing Twilight notices is the torch burning above the waterfall.

On a large rock jutting out of the middle of the waterfall, a stone platform was built for the torch to be placed, just like the previous lamp oil platform.

There is nothing around the waterfall except moss-covered, wet and slippery stones.

"We've got to go up and get a fire."

Twilight touched the ring on her little finger, looked at the copper oil lamp hanging from Ye Qian's waist and the mechanical device, and said, "No, maybe you don't have to go up......"

Twilight asks Assen to take out the few copper oil lamps he left behind.

"With our socks."

She said, "Glue in the excess oil, tie it into a long rope, and use that," she said.

Twilight looked at Ye Qian's waist, "We can bring the fire down." ”

Ye Qian nodded.

The mud that Ye Qian had stuck to her body before had all dried up, and when she took off her Martin boots, a large pile of mud had fallen from them.

Ye Qian shook her boots in embarrassment, and only put them back on when there were no more extra mud pieces falling out.

The socks of the first graders were long and short, Twilight wore a mid-length style herself, but Ye Qian's socks were shorts, and even if all four of their socks were joined together, the length was far less than the distance from the stone platform in the waterfall to the ground.

The rattan that Ye Qian held in her hand before was too full of water, even if she smeared the lamp oil to help burn, it was not enough, so they had to find a way to climb up with the help of a mechanical device first.

This time, not only was the rattan tied to the loop behind the mechanism, but Assen had his own ears tied to it.

Unlike the susceptible branches in the mire, to bear the weight of at least one person, they had to hold on to a rock large enough, which would be much easier with Assen in charge.

It was smooth at first.

Twilight and Ye Qian circled to the side of the waterfall, soaking the stocking rope with lamp oil as planned, and then tossed Ah Sen and the mechanical hook into the air, wrapping the rattan around a raised stone.

After the hook clasped his claws on the rock, Asen clumsily untied his tangled ears and circled the attached rattan around the stone a few times before waving at Twilight.

"I'll go up with you, too."

Ye Qian said, "You can't control the rattan by yourself, and throw the rope into the torch, right?" ”

"Tie the rope to this thing,"

She pointed to the mechanical hook, "You don't have a device to hold yourself in, it's going to be dangerous." ”

A hint of fear flashed across her face, but she insisted, "I can stand on the stone and hold the rattan for you, and you'll be fine." ”

Twilight also had the bow and arrows she had gotten from Kururie and enough white feather arrows to shoot them into the torch.

She looked at Ye Qian, and many thoughts crossed her heart.

Ye Qian said that there was only competition between the students, Ye Qian said that she hated her cowardice, and even Ye Qian's crying not long ago left an aftersound in her ears.

Twilight is not sure what she wanted to do with it, but A's "plan"

Suddenly it popped up.

She turned her head to look at the bottomless pool, there was Asen, Twilight believed that even if she fell, she would have a chance to start over, and A said that Aisha would be a good helper, Ye Qian would not.

But Twilight hopes Ye Qian will be.

Since you can afford to fail, let's give it a go.

See if you can get your first reliable partner, or if you lose a roommate who can talk to you.

Twilight nodded at Ye Qian, climbed up the rattan, and pulled Ye Qian up again.

"You're standing here,"

She watched Ye Qian open the hook claw of the mechanical device, and threw Ah Sen higher again, "Pull the remaining rope, I'll go and lead the fire down." ”

Ye Qian nodded, clutching the rattan tightly in her hand, watching Twilight continue to climb up.

Once Twilight was firmly on the other rock, she unfastened the loop behind the mechanism and tied one end of the rattan to her waist.

She lowered her head and nodded to Ye Qian, who was holding the rattan in her hand, tied the rope stained with lamp oil, and put the other end on the copper oil lamp that Ah Sen was holding in his hand.

"Twilight-sama, be sure to protect the fire in the future!"

Assen said sternly, and the rabbit's head also nodded up and down firmly.

Twilight smiled at Asen, aimed at the torch and launched the mechanism.
