Each of the five contestants is teleported to five corners.

Each player starts differently.

Due to their personalities, Abel and Shaun of Hell both started a rapid exploration of the labyrinth area at the first time.

The way forward is constantly switching between big and small trots.

Go as deep into the maze as you can, and if you want to quickly understand the dangers lurking in the garden, put 'speed' first.

Both Demps and Gulica are in the foreground at normal walking speeds, with maximum defensive shields turned on throughout the process, and their vision sweeps and catches every suspicious corner, with 'steady' as the main focus.

Han Dong's speed is slower than walking.

In the form of a cane, he walks one step at a time, but his eyes are fixed straight ahead...... Observation is secondary, with more emphasis on 'thinking'.

The most fundamental question thrown to Han Dong is actually one.

The difficulty of matching the high-difficulty trials of elite knights is definitely not just a maze problem.

"My connection with the Raven comes from a contractual relationship in the dark arts...... It is not a physical connection, but a connection of conscious actions.

Being able to truncate consciousness shows that the maze itself can have an effect on the individual's consciousness.

Just that...... It's still good for me."

Han Dong's uniqueness lies in the [head].

The Faceless Person's head combined with the Wild Laughter attribute that Han Dong had just acquired maximized his spiritual defense.

Come to think of it.

Han Dong used the black proliferation fluid flowing from the corners of his mouth, and through the smearing of his fingers, along the outer frame of the corners of his mouth, he drew an exaggerated big mouth pattern.

Ha ha......

Hahaha......

With a weird laugh, he walked on his cane.

Some kind of illusion that permeated the garden labyrinth was dispelled by laughter.

Some dead ends that should have been blocked by plants are slowly turning into a strange pathway...... Let Han Dong be able to go to an important area of the garden.

Keep going deeper.

When you come to the corner of the passage.

Hee-hee-hee-hee......

A burst of female laughter echoed all around.

in view.

A barefoot woman dressed in white and wearing a garland walked through the plants and headed into the depths of the corner passage.

Such an outfit is similar to that of a fairy in Greek mythology.

But the temperament level is very different.

The way forward is not to walk...... It's floating.

With ten toes perpendicular to the ground, float deep.

At the same time, the fairy seemed to be suffering from some kind of nervous disease, and her neck was still 'twitching' and 'writhing' rapidly as she floated.

Moreover, she is still holding a virus crow in her hand that has cut off contact with Han Dong.

Bang Bang Bang!

Open your big mouth with exaggerated and dense fangs, and frantically nibble on this rare fresh food...... Moreover, the raven will grow more flesh for her to eat due to the influence of the virus.

With the appearance of this 'fairy'.

The labyrinth passage where Han Dong was located also became dark.

The plant walls on both sides also slowly grow a kind of skin-like human face flowers.

This feeling...... It's like being in the fate space of evil spirits, which is terrifying.

On top of that, the fairy who had just passed by brought an absolutely deadly threat to Han Dong, and once he faced it head-on, there was basically no possibility of winning......

The passage behind him was not blocked, leaving Han Dong with two choices.

First, follow the fairy.

Second, go back and choose a different maze path.

Han Dong stopped to think for a moment.

"Do you mean...... In order to select the top knights, the Holy City did not hesitate to spend points to exchange living creatures from the fate space to create a 'blackened' version of the [Twelve Trials]? ”

Han Dong's guess was not wrong at all.

Make the most of it.

Since points can be exchanged for anything that comes from the Destiny space, whether dead or alive.

Then the basic value of each exchange item must be considered.

Living things are, in some ways, more expensive than dead things......

There are even some living creatures that not only need points, but also need to correspond to the 'tokens' in the fate** to be exchanged.

Personally, no one wants to exchange it for a living thing.

Exchanging points for equivalent materials or props is much more self-improving than living things, and only a few stitchers may consider exchanging them for living things.

Due to the gradual maturity of the knight training system.

The Parliament formalized the 'Points Tax Act'.

At the end of each Destiny event, the Trainee Knight will exchange points for a certain amount of copper and hand it over to the Holy City.

The official knight clears the Destiny** and obtains far more points than the trainee knight...... They need to hand over 10%~20% of the points they have earned to the tax department in the council that is responsible for the collection of points.

Some special facilities in the holy city will be used for points in the future.

The Twelve Trials are a typical example.

And this trial, called 'Golden Apple', is the trial that consumes the most points.

……

Han Dong hurriedly summoned Duoze Crow out to observe it in coordination.

(Because Han Dong belongs to the mysterious department, when registering, he can carry a [summon] with him.) The Dozer Raven also meets the various review criteria for summons. ）

Duo Ze Crow also sensed the danger as soon as he came out, and stood on Han Dong's shoulder and trembled.

"Bring people...... How is this similar to the atmosphere of what fate space, what a horror crow! ”

"Help me observe the situation around me and tell me immediately if there is any problem."

Ga!

Han Dong slowly bypassed the junction.

In front of him corresponds to a clearing in the garden.

A giant dead tree that needs to be hugged by more than a dozen people grows in the center of the clearing.

Completely withered.

Not to mention apples, not even leaves.

Nothing grew on the dead tree, but there was something else hanging from the branches.

Severed hands, worn clothes, rat corpses, heads of some kind of beast summons, and so on.

All hung from a branch by a strand of strong hair.

Current.

The fairy hung up the half-eaten crow carcass, which was still multiplying, through one of her own hairs.

Obviously, this tree is the fairy's 'storage cupboard'.

Feel a living creature enter her territory.

Click......

The fairy lying on the trunk of the tree twisted her head 180 degrees and stared at Han Dong who was standing around the corner.

Large, toothy beaks overflowing with blood and crow feathers,

Terrifying and weird smile amplitude,

Eyes that are completely protruding like dead fish,

It's as beautiful as a fairy......

Two tongues of different sizes wrap around the mouth, making a light overlapping sound:

"Already...... It's been a long time since a 'guest' arrived.

Come on! Outsiders who want to pick golden apples must obey me in order to gain a chance to go deeper into the 'Golden Apple Tree'. ”

The fairy opened the wooden door at the bottom of the giant dead tree, hooked her fingers covered in crow's blood, and motioned for Han Dong to follow.

The battle did not break out at the first time, which surprised Han Dong.

"Rules...... Alonso, the observer, has been emphasizing this from the beginning.

If you want to get a real golden apple, you may have to follow the rules of the garden...... If the fairy had been killed in recklessness, the road to the golden apple tree would have been blocked.

I can only follow up and take a look.'"
