At the highest point of the forest, above the top of the dark clouds, there is a special room in the shape of a hemispherical shape.

It even feels like the clouds carry this particular room, which is made of a special silica that reflects all kinds of light, except for a giant astronomical telescope made of pure copper.

Name: 【Stargazing Room】

In the room, there are two people...... It's like a person again.

"It's nice to have a new student coming, and ......"

"How do you see that?"

"The body is very weak...... Weaker than all previous students, it is naturally unusual to be able to pass the fate event with such a body. ”

"When I think about it, it should be called [Valen. Nicholas] ...... Is that him? Apprentice knight who passes a four-star event. ”

"Four-star, I haven't seen a four-star freshman for a long time, do you want to make the test more difficult?"

"Not good...... Improving 'randomness' and 'variables' can better examine the comprehensive quality of a freshman, rather than blindly improving the difficulty.

Moreover, the way he cleared the four-star event was not necessarily forcible either. ”

"Listen to you, is the test in the [Dark Moon Forest] or just in the tower?"

"The former, it's more variable."

"In which way?"

"Let him choose...... In addition, there is a need to add a variable. ”

"Oh? Isn't that what you call it difficulty? ”

"Variables are not dangerous, they are simply variables, and they are important for his future development...... If the young man can see the variables we are setting, he can pay special attention. ”

"It's a little out of your style...... Crow. ”

"That's how it counts."

…………

Quack ~ Quack!

There are more crows than Han Dong imagined.

The carriage galloped along the winding road, and along the way, every branch that Han Dong saw had crows standing on the branches.

The crow's crow chirps are quite regular, as if it is transmitting some kind of signal.

Suddenly, the carriage, which was galloping all the way, suddenly stopped...... It is not yet out of the forest area.

"No way?"

The forest avenue, which was supposed to lead directly to the occult building, was cut off in the middle of the way, and was blocked by a group of trees in front of it.

Han Dong could only get out of the carriage and find a 'sign' at the end of the road, with a few strange big characters written on it - [Direction of the Exit of the Dark Moon Forest] with directional arrows.

"It seems that you need to walk through the forest to reach the building area of the mysterious department and complete the registration of new students...... Luckily, I was prepared. ”

Han Dong has always believed that 'fire' is useful.

At least in the Novice event, as well as in the previous Ghoul event, torches are used for lighting...... Therefore, Han Dong lit a torch prepared in advance in his backpack and cautiously went deep into this strange [Dark Moon Forest].

Walking through this dark and dense forest with tall dead trees, it is easy to lose your sense of direction and deviate from the straight route.

However, Han Dong's situation is different, he can clearly realize what it means to go straight, even if the walking route is deviated from a straight line due to physical problems, he will immediately correct it back.

It may be that Han Dong himself has a strong sense of direction, or it may be the effect of the "Faceless Head".

I walked for about half an hour.

Instead of leaving the deadwood woods, they found a delicate log cabin in the woods with a burst of firelight......

Since being reborn and coming to this world, Han Dong has seen too many new things.

"Maybe this cabin of less than 100 square meters is the main building of the 'occult'...... Check it out. ”

To exist is to be meaningful.

Han Dong cautiously leaned forward and circled the wooden house, only to find that the wooden house had no 'window' design at all...... And the fire I saw earlier was just spilling through the crack in the front door.

Knock knock~

There was no response to the knock.

Han Dong slowly pushed open the wooden door.

There is no other cave as you imagined, just an ordinary wooden house.

However, there are many delicate and strange 'props' placed in the interior of the wooden house, giving the illusion of entering a medieval antique shop.

A letter from nowhere just landed in front of Han Dong.

"Please choose any complete item in the cabin (even the door can be removed and taken away!) However, it has to be complete. ）

Walk out of the Darkmoon Forest and hand over the items to the Department Management Office

(Note: Your performance will determine the overall rating of the Mystic Department on you)'

"It's a test again...... It's just a book, it's really strict.

First the fate event, then the interview, and the background inquiry in the shadows. Now, do I need to take the relevant tests before I go to the building where I majored in my career to register? ”

Han Dong originally thought that after he arrived inside the mysterious building, he would use some basic testing equipment to test his good direction, so as to plan his future study direction.

I didn't expect it to be done in such a weird way.

"The quality of the test will be related to the follow-up study in the Knight Academy in the future, cheer up."

After a few days of stress-free rest, Han Dong's condition has never been better...... Not to mention a 'ghoul arm'.

Raise your spirits and quickly examine the various props in the cabin.

"Green Crystal Crafts (Frog-Shaped)" in a jewelry box

The "Mourning Box" enclosed in a glass case

A steam-style "gas mask"

"Stitched pig's head mask" hanging on the wall

"Silk white threads" scattered on the ground

…………

"Not to mention that some clutter in the room can also be taken away.

There are twelve options for 'special items' alone, once I make my choice! The next test method will also be determined, and the difficulty level may be different.

Let's choose this......"

Han Dong stared at the "Mourning Box" in the glass-sealed coffin, preparing to choose this prop that seemed to come from hell.

Crunch~ (Wooden plank sound)

Vocalized by stepping on a special wooden plank...... This detail immediately attracted Han Dong's attention.

The sound of this plank being squeezed is different from the others.

"Sure enough...... Dark grid? ”

Easily remove the strange wooden block under your feet.

Corresponding to a hidden compartment at the lower end of the ground, a small rusty tin box was stored in it.

After looking at the 'items' stored inside the iron box, Han Dong was a little moved.

After a few minutes of consideration.

Han Dong chose the iron box and turned to leave the wooden house.

"Someone!!"

The first time I stepped out of the wooden house, there was the sound of small footsteps among the trees.

For a while, Han Dong's eyes changed and he entered a state of alert...... A green line of plague flowed through the surface of his right arm.

Who knows, what ran out of the woods was actually a dirty black-haired girl.

Judging from her skin color and facial features, she should be from the Middle East, and she also wears three golden nose rings on her nose.

The girl was holding a golden card symbolizing the midshipman.

She asked with half-squinted eyes and a little wariness, "You...... Are you a probationary knight? ”

"Hmm."

"Great! …… I've been lost in the Darkmoon Forest for days, but I've found the right direction. ”
