In the forest of the secret realm outside the world, in the confusion of not surviving in the wilderness,

I finally heard the voice of a crisp and clever smile.

Looking at the girl who jumped down from an ancient tree with fallen leaves, she was probably just seventeen or eighteen years old.

One less point looks immature, one more point is not smart enough,

It gives such a wonderful impression.

Unlike any dynasty in history, but definitely not modern-style clothing, the cloud-white sleeves that are easy to move are elegant, and interspersed with exquisite and unusual gorgeous red brocade,

What shocked Fang Ran the most was not that this kind of clothes were like a match made in heaven when she wore them,

But as soon as the other party appeared, he looked himself up and down, as if he had finally seen something he had been curious about for a long time, and he couldn't wait to see something in himself.

"That.... May I ask who you are....? ”

A little unable to resist this kind of gaze, Fang Ran looked at her and asked tentatively,

"You're Fang Ran, you're going to be midnight recently, right?"

But for his question, the girl just smiled and asked smartly, so that Fang Ran had to nod and answer in a daze.

"Ah, yes, to accept the invitation of a senior, it was Grandma Shui who sent me."

"Eh, Grandma Shui..."

Listening to the title mentioned in Fang Ran's words, the girl nodded intently, and then raised her voice again to speak:

"Anyway, you're going to midnight, right, I'll show you the way."

After saying that, she turned and walked in one direction,

Fang Ran had no choice but to hurriedly follow.

Follow the mysterious girl in the dress of white and red brocade, walking in the huge forest of sunshine and shadows,

The strongest feeling is that I am wearing a jacket and trousers, and my painting style is simply out of place...

"That's... It's not here... Midnight? ”

Fang Ran tried to talk to her and asked, looking up at the secret scenery of the ancient trees, he didn't know how to say the surprise in his heart, so he had to ask so vaguely,

"If you're talking about midnight from the outside world, of course it's here, but strictly speaking, it's supposed to be the edge of midnight,"

Walking in the forest with brisk steps, I immediately understood Fang Ran's meaning, and there was a lightness in the girl's words, as if she had thought of a very appropriate explanation,

She smiled like an example and said:

"The yard is like the yard around the house."

Yard...

glanced at the secret forest behind him, and was silently embarrassed by her example, but he roughly understood what was going on.

Fang Ran couldn't help but look at her and continued to ask:

"Then why was I teleported to such a place?"

"People from the outside world can only enter midnight with permission, and everything but himself will be blocked,"

The figure jumped up, picked the vermilion wild fruit from a tree that passed by, and it seemed that it was just a willful desire to pick it and taste it, and only took a bite.

The girl walked in front of her leisurely, making people wonder if she was leading the way.

But it is true that after she appeared, the animals that had only heard her sound and disappeared before ran out one after another.

"The reason why you were teleported to this kind of place is because something else came in with you, but it wasn't a small error caused by being refused."

Watching her casually take a bite of the fruit and feed it to those 'beautiful animals' that she can't recognize,

Fang Ran recalled that when he stepped into the teleportation, he had some puzzled doubts:

"But I'm on my own..."

“(°?? °*) Meow! ”

"So it's you!!"

Hearing the cry of F-233 overhead, Fang Ran immediately reacted and grabbed it down, rubbing his teeth hard.

Knowing the reason why he was thrown in the mountains, this time he looked at the mysterious girl who led the way in front of him,

The kind of lightness and liveliness that belongs only to this age, revealing a mystery that cannot be said.

Curious about her identity, Fang Ran guessed whether she was a descendant or disciple of the night watchman, but he was not sure if there was such a relationship in the middle of the night.

Embarrassed to ask directly, he turned to a different direction.

"That's... Is there anyone else besides the Night's Watch in the middle of the night? ”

"Of course there is, after all, the night watchman is the identity of acting for the will of that gentleman, so naturally there will be the predecessors who have relieved their duties and lived in seclusion in their later years, and the descendants who are not the night watchmen,"

Hearing Fang Ran ask about this, under the shadow of the sunshine tree, the girl in the red brocade and white dress explained with a smile, but the tone of the next sentence was slightly lighter,

"But now it's almost the older generation left..."

But before Fang Ran could notice the difference in this sentence, she turned around with a twist of her skirt and smiled softly:

"Anyway, you'll find out what it's like later."

And then this moment,

Fang Ran saw that the vision in front of him brightened, and the forest that he hadn't walked out of for so long just now came to an end.

"We're here."

Hearing the excited voice of the girl leading the way in front of him, Fang Ran raised his gaze and looked...

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, there was only an open space in front of me, and the cliffs next to each other were thousands of steep.

"People from the outside need to pass trials if they want to go to midnight,"

When Fang Ran wondered what was going on, the figure of the girl in front of him clapped her hands, and the sound of the lifting frame released by the iron cable came from the cliff,

A five- or six-meter-tall colossus with a bronze sharp axe roared!

"First you have to beat it."

Trials?

Listening to her sudden words, thinking that this is also a normal part, looking at the colossus of the mechanism in front of him, which is about the C-level level, his eyes flashed with eagerness to try the challenge,

"This kind of thing, please advance..."

Facing the colossus of the high-speed truck-like roaring machine, Fang Ran's silver broken dragon teeth swept in his hand,

"By the way, you may have found out too,"

But at this moment, the girl in the red dress was interspersed with cloud white, revealing a fox-like sly smile.

"The space where Midnight is located is special, and the effects of the technique, body technique, and most of the abilities will be pressed to one percent."

So you should have said this kind of thing earlier!!

Looking at the giant axe that rushed towards him, as if he was going to use himself as firewood to split in half, Fang Ran was almost cut down in a panic in the 'shrinkage' of his ability...

...

"This is a place more than ten zhang below, inhabited by an ice spirit fish, your trial is very simple, is to catch one."

A quiet cold pool surrounded by green rocks, finally defeated the colossus with difficulty, Fang Ran listened to the explanation of the girl next to him, he had experience in catching fish in the North Pole and just breathed a sigh of relief and went into the water,

Just when I failed for the first time and was pulled directly ashore by a tail, I heard ...

"The Ice Spirit Fish is about three feet long, and it is easy to identify."

...

"There's a kind of green beast around here, it's a small four-legged beast with green hair, very light and fast, you have to catch up with it and grab a little bit of its hair."

Listening to the content of her trial this time, she fought hard with the nine-meter-long 'big fish' in the water, and finally caught it ashore with difficulty.

Fang Ran, who was thrown out of his pants of water when he was released, looked at his target this time, and disappeared the moment he saw him, his expression became very complicated for a while.

No, you're a fast runner, aren't you...

In the end, with a super weakened version of stealth and silence, it was finally difficult to get hair from the 'rabbit' who ran away immediately whenever there was a little movement.

Fang Ran looked at the time when he was busy,

The girl in the red brocade and white dress was crouching on the rock, approaching quietly like a cat, and...

"I'll catch it!"

"Meow!"

The black meow ball flashed up into thin air, causing her to pounce.

щ(°Д°#щ) Have you two already played it?

...

Go up the mountain, go into the water, climb trees, jump off cliffs, touch fish and catch birds....

All kinds of trials are surging,

Following the girl who led the way for herself, relying on her weakened ability but still there, thinking about the face of the water grandma who sent her,

Without any complaints, Fang Ran finally overcame them one by one.

Although the difficulty is very nonsense, I always feel that I have seen all kinds of things and scenery here a little bit, and the process is quite interesting.

Of course, if you asked Fang Ran, he wouldn't admit it...

Against the impact of the huge waterfall, he climbed up from below, looking at La Meow, who was still full of energy next to him, Fang Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes when he spit.

It's a midnight trial...

If it weren't for his own ability, it would be estimated that he would be able to change Osfiya in the C rank...

"Eh, you're pretty good."

Maintaining the posture that he had just climbed up, looking at the corner of the skirt on the edge of the upper edge of the field of vision, Fang Ran just asked with a long sigh:

"What's next?"

"Hehehe, it's really interesting."

Laughing like a clear spring, the girl who had been observing Fang Ran for a few hours smiled brightly and happily expressed her feelings.

"The trial is over."

"Huh?"

Hearing her sudden words, Fang Ran looked up unexpectedly, in the light that was almost twilight before he knew it,

I could only see a faint smile on her face.

"Boy, welcome to Midnight."

Then when he was slightly stunned, and then got up and looked up to see everything in front of him thoroughly,

Looking at the ancient buildings like the palace pavilions, distributed on a whole mountain peak, the glow and mist are around, like the ethereal scene of the fairyland in the legendary picture scroll,

Fang Ran even suspected that he had crossed over...
