Chapter 600: In a hurry

What will happen if she leaves the luxurious life that she has been familiar with for more than ten years, others Luna don't know, anyway, she feels that she has adapted to it quite well.

Without the rules and etiquette that can be called nitpicking in front of people, and without all kinds of interpersonal involvement, Luna only feels that the sky is bluer, the grass is greener, and even the rich fragrance of flowers has become less pungent.

In fact, this trip is still a little different from what she expected, and the first point is that the time is a little tight.

Originally, according to her expectations, she should have returned to Santan City around midsummer.

However, the mission did not go smoothly from the beginning of its entry into Yuguo, and was forcibly slowed down, which caused the mission to arrive in Santan City a full month later than Luna expected, although it hurried to hurry on the way back for safety.

This month may not be much for the orcs who have been living at a slower pace for the rest of the year, but it can be a bit of a hassle for Luna who wants to complete the trial before the middle of winter.

That's why Luna discouraged herself from taking her two handmaidens and Jon on the road, and hired mercenaries to escort her instead.

It's just that their time on this journey is too tight, and they can't afford any delays.

The tradition of trials has long ceased to be a mystery.

Although there are still many unsolved mysteries and are endowed with a strong mythological color, through the summary of generations of predecessors, the things that will be encountered in the trial forest are basically not blackened as long as you have the heart to understand them.

In particular, the existence of well-written records such as the royal families and nobles almost begins with the cubs being able to transform into human form, and whether or not they eventually participate in the trial, the cubs will learn everything necessary for the trial.

On the whole, the duration of the trial is generally half a year, and at least three months, and during this time, in addition to surviving alone in the trial forest, the orcs also have to face the replacement of claws and hair.

Although it is dangerous to shed her minions in the dense forest, in fact, judging from the incomplete map of the trial forest that Luna holds in her hand, as long as she prepares enough dry food and medicine, carries her weapons, and finds a water source and shelter, if she is not extremely unlucky, she encounters a herd of large carnivorous beasts, or is unfortunate enough to encounter some pickled things hidden in the trial forest, she will not give her life to it.

And the minions that grow back will also be sharper and harder than the original minions.

The most troublesome thing is actually moulting!

This moulting in the Forest of Trials is not the natural law of the orc's fur from thin to thick, and then from thick to thin due to changes in external temperature every year at the turn of spring and autumn.

Rather, it is said that after entering the Trials Forest, all the hair on the surface of the orc's body will fall off little by little, until it grows new hair that can be freely transformed into clothes, so that the trial is completely completed.

If you leave the Trial Forest halfway before the hair replacement is completely completed, you will be abandoned by the gods, and eventually your whole body will festered and die, even if you turn back to the Trial Forest again, it will be useless.

This means that if the orcs who fail to complete the trial before the coldest point in winter, they are bare, or have only a small amount of hair to cover their bodies, they are likely to freeze to death in the trial forest.

For Luna today, it's arguably the most dangerous.

After all, trials are a sacred thing, in the concept of orcs, this is a test of the gods for the brave, and if you go through the test with an attendant or something, it will be regarded as disrespect to the gods, and Luna alone does not have the confidence to keep it awake without sleeping, eating or drinking, and keeping it unquenched.

Although the location of the trial forest is far southwest, it is far less cold than the low temperature of dozens of degrees Celsius in the winter of the royal city, but in the absence of the hair protection body, with the perverted low temperature of this winter in this world, even if it is more than ten degrees below zero, it can still make people not wake up after the fire is extinguished.

However, there are misfortunes and blessings, according to Luna's personal analysis, most of the people who usually take half a year to complete the trial enter the trial forest in the summer or late spring.

In other words, if she can enter the Trial Forest in time for the beginning of the autumn moult, it means that under the influence of the season, the process of her moulting will be faster.

In other words, with the convenience of seasonal moulting, she can greatly shorten the time she spends in the Trial Forest, and as long as the nutrition can keep up, she can come out before the middle of winter.

Nutrition......

Luna looked up at the two slowly staggered moons in the sky, raised her hand and pulled the hair that fell down, all the foods she knew were helpful for long hair, all thanks to the experience of raising dogs in her previous life, and when it came to using it on herself, her mood was always a little complicated, and she didn't know if it was good or not......

"Are you worried?"

Barry's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, startling Luna, who was full of beautiful fur food, and sprang up, wrinkling her nose at the tiger behind her.

"Oh, it's fierce. Barry grinned, but he didn't look like he was murdered at all, but was full of ridicule.

"They're all asleep?" Luna looked at the camp below, picking at the slightly peeking rock, then turned her head to stare at Barry's large, silent paws on the ground.

"Hmm. Barry replied softly, walked over to Luna, and crouched down, "What are you worried about?

"Aren't you worried before you go to the trial?" Luna asked, reluctantly reluctantly retracting her gaze from Barry's large fluffy paws, and instead landing on the tiger's face.

"I didn't worry about it before I went, but I was a little scared when I came out. Barry's three-petaled mouth moved, and he said truthfully.

He actually didn't think about what would happen if he failed the trial, but he didn't know where to go after leaving the royal city for a while, so he simply walked all the way to the trial first, and then came out after surviving miserably in the trial forest for more than four months.

It was only after encountering some dangers inside that I understood what it meant to be afraid.

Luna smiled when she heard this, but suddenly asked, "Why do you want to take on this mission, as far as I know, Egas never takes on escort missions." ”

Barry was stunned for a moment, then sat up, raised his paw and patted Luna's head, and said nonsense:

"The steward of Santan City deliberately stopped me, saying that this mission was well paid, and the employer was still a beautiful female with little work, and there was a beautiful little maid by his side, so I was tempted, but I didn't think ......about it."

"Keep knitting!" Luna said with a menacing look at Barry as she lifted her hand and grabbed the big fluffy paw she had been fond of for a long time, pinching the tips of her claws and squeezing her nails.

The steward was found by Susie with her seal, what can be said and what can't be said is naturally understood, even if Egas has a gem brand in her hand and has privileges, Luna doesn't think that the steward dares to divulge too much information about her.
