"Little Golden Fox, you are amazing. At the same time as the wolves were wiped out, Maki Uesugi pounced out at once, holding the golden fox tightly in his arms, and rubbing his face against the golden fox's body at the same time.

And the golden fox is also arrogant, obviously a compliment to the owner.

"Alright, alright you two, it's time for us to go. Aoba smiled and said to Uesugi Maki and the Golden Fox.

At the same time, the spirit fox also made a sneering sound at the golden fox, as if it was saying that it was childish.

So Uesugi Maki separated from the golden fox and smiled at Aoba a little embarrassed.

"Well, let's go, it seems like it's in front of us, right?" Uesugi Maki also noticed that the forest had come to an end, and there were buildings not far in front of him.

"yes, let's go!" Aoba said to Uesugi Maki as he put the fox into the bamboo tube.

"Yes. Uesugi Maki nodded, and also put away the golden fox.

The two of them walked out of the forest together.

In just a few steps, the two of them had already walked out of the forest and came to the outside of the forest.

In front of the two of them was a gentle slope, and not far from the gentle slope was a flat ground surrounded by mountains.

And on that seemingly large area of flat ground, a cluster of buildings sits in it.

At first glance, those buildings do not belong to modern society, but have the feeling of ancient architecture, and even in Aoba, these buildings do not look like ancient Japanese society, but like the architecture of ancient Chinese society.

However, the architecture of ancient Japanese society was originally learned from China, so there is not a big difference between the two, and Aoba did not care too much about this.

The two of them walked towards the location of the complex, and within a few steps they saw a field of farmland appear on either side of the road.

And in the farmland, there is a figure cutting weeds there.

"Oh, is it a new young man?" said a figure working in the field. Apparently discovering the existence of Aoba and Uesugi Maki, he raised his head and greeted the two.

It was an old man with a wrinkled face who looked very old, and when he spoke, he gave a gentle smile to Aoba and Uesugi Maki.

It's just that Aoba can still feel a not weak aura from this old man's body, obviously this person is not an ordinary person.

"Hello grandpa, we have just come out of the forest. Uesugi Maki said with the same smile at the old man.

"So you're here for the trial?" the old man asked, smiling.

"That's right, where are we going next?" Aoba asked as well.

"Next, follow this road and you'll see a reception. Just sign up there, and then you can wait for the trial. The old man pointed to the end of the road.

"Thank you. Aoba thanked him.

"Thank you, old man. Uesugi continued to smile sweetly.

"Go, go, come on! There are so few young people who can come here now!" said the old man, half-emotionally.

"Well, we'll do our best, and grandpa will do it too!" Uesugi made an effort gesture to the old man, and then followed Aoba's footsteps and walked in the direction of the reception.

The old man stood in the field and watched the two walk away, with a gentle smile on his face all the time. It wasn't until the two of them couldn't be seen that they leaned down and continued to get busy.

On the other side, Maki Uesugi, who was walking with Aoba, patted his chest on the scale and let out a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" asked Aoba as she looked at Maki Uesugi.

"It's just a little nervous! I didn't expect the people in the Land of Trials. Isn't it also very welcoming? Maki Uesugi explained.

"This is just a place of trial, and it's not a Longtan tiger's den, can everyone be fierce?" Aoba said with a funny shake of his head.

"But according to the rules in the comics, we've just arrived here. It must be hostile to everyone, right? It will not be until you slowly get along with everyone that you will find out that the hostility at the beginning is actually some kind of trial. Uesugi Maki said with a big brain.

"So you also said, that's the plot in the comics. And not realistically. Aoba said with a shrug.

"But. Uesugi Maki wanted to argue about something, but he was interrupted by Aoba.

"Alright, we're here, hurry up and sign up!"

Standing in front of a wooden house that looked like it was a few years old, Aoba said as he looked at the words on the check-in desk written on the wooden house.

"Hey, is it already there?Are we going in now?Is the letter of introduction ready?" Uesugi Maki suddenly became a little confused after finding out that the two had arrived at the check-in office.

"Okay, let's go in!" Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki with a smile and shook his head, then reached out and grabbed Uesugi Maki's hand, pulled Uesugi Maki, who was still a little nervous, and entered the registration office.

"Hey, wait, I'm not ready. Uesugi Maki didn't say a word, so he entered the check-in desk under the pull of Aoba, and then the two found that the check-in desk was completely empty.

"Is there no one?" said Maki Uesugi with some confusion.

"Is anyone there?" Aoba simply shouted.

"Wait a minute, Brother Aoba, it's going to make a noise. Uesugi Maki immediately wanted to stop Aoba, but it was too late.

"Come, come, wait, wait, wait. With a nice female voice accompanied by a jumble of footsteps.

A figure rushed out of the backyard in a hurry, and hurried to the room at the check-in desk.

I saw that it was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, about the same age as Uesugi Maki, but was wearing a witch costume, and at this time she was sitting at the low table in the room from movement to quiet, and then coughed, and looked at Aoba and Uesugi Maki seriously.

"Well, I just went to see if the boiling water was boiling, and I definitely wasn't lazy to watch TV. The witch said solemnly, but she didn't know what she said, and she had already betrayed herself without three hundred taels of silver.

"Don't worry, we won't talk about you being lazy to watch TV at work. Aoba said with a smile.

"I said I didn't peek, okay okay you won. Sit down. The shrine maiden first glared at Aoba, and then said helplessly.

"We're new to reporting, and here's our letter of introduction. So Aoba took out the letter of introduction, put it on the table, and sat down opposite the shrine maiden.

Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Maki was also pulled by Aoba and sat down next to Aoba.

"New here? I'll take a look at your letter of introduction. The shrine maiden coughed again, then picked up Aoba's letter of introduction and checked it.

As for what is written in the letter, the shrine maiden can know without reading it, it is nothing more than a recommendation for admission, and the key is the special energy left on the letter. As long as the authenticity of this energy is confirmed, then Aoba and Uesugi Maki will naturally get the opportunity to participate in the trial in the land of trials.

Of course, whether or not you can pass the trial and then get the qualification to stay is another matter.

"Well, that's right, there's no problem with your letter of recommendation, so you can stay in the dormitory first, and wait until the trial is over. If you can pass, you can stay, whether you want to go to school or just find a place to eat and die. It's up to you. The shrine maiden didn't even read the letter of introduction from the two, just confirmed that there was no problem with the energy on it, and nodded to the two of them.

"Okay, thank you very much. Aoba nodded and said.

"That's right. I haven't introduced myself yet, it's really rude! In Shimotojo-in Tsuru, it's the reception staff here. I'll ask for a lot of advice in the future. The shrine maiden named Tojo-in Tsuru bowed to the two of them and said politely.

"My name is Uesugi Aoba, please advise. Aoba also bowed slightly.

"I'm Maki Uesugi, please Aoba's sister, please give me a lot of advice. Uesugi Maki also hurriedly said.

"Ah, are you brothers and sisters? This is really a very strange thing, so please come with me, and I will take you to the place where you live. Tojo-in Tsuru first looked at Liangzhi in slight surprise, and then got up and led Liangzhi to the outside of the house.

"Then I'm sorry for you. Aoba and Uesugi Maki said in unison, and then followed Tojo-in Tsuru and walked towards the outside of the house.

Tojo-in Tsuru guided Aoba and Uesugi Maki out of the house, following the path they had taken when they had just arrived, and continued to walk forward, soon arriving at the main entrance of a palace.

This palace is the large antique building complex that the two of them saw on the gentle slope in the distance, although there are some obviously modern buildings nearby, but this antique building still occupies the largest area.

At this time, Tojo-in Tsuru brought Aoba and Uesugi Maki to the main entrance of this huge complex.

"This is Zhegui Palace, it is said that it was the name given by the lord who created the place of trials, but although the name here is the palace, and even the buildings inside are built according to the palace, but now there are already various functions, such as hospitals, village offices, schools, dormitories, and many other parts, and now they are all located here, and the entire Zhegui Palace has been split into countless parts. Tojo-in Tsuru dutifully explained to Aoba and Uesugi Maki.

Uesugi Maki listened to Tojo-inzuru's explanation, and followed her into the huge main entrance of the palace.

However, after taking two steps, I didn't find Uesugi Maki who was following Aoba, and when I looked back, I found that Aoba was standing under the stone steps in front of the palace gate of Zhegui Palace, looking up at the plaque hanging on the main gate of Zhegui Palace, the three big characters of Zhegui Palace written in big traditional characters.

Aoba looked at himself on the plaque in a daze, and the whole person seemed to be out of his mind.

"Brother Aoba, hurry up and keep up!" Uesugi Maki greeted Aoba.

Tojo-in Tsuru also stopped, looking at Aoba curiously while waiting.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'll come over here. Aoba showed a somewhat reluctant smile on his face, and he glanced at the plaque of the Origata Palace again with some uncertainty, and then took two steps to catch up with Tojo-in Tsuru and Uesugi Maki.

And Tojo-in Crane and Uesugi Maki didn't care, but when Aoba was in an inexplicable daze just now, Tojo-in Crane continued to lead the way, and Uesugi Maki and Aoba followed and entered the palace gate.

If Tojo Courtyard Crane and Uesugi Maki can know more about Aoba, they will know that it is very rare to be able to make Aoba in such a daze, but it is a pity that Tojo Courtyard Crane is the first time to know Aoba, although Uesugi Maki has known each other for a long time, but it has not reached the point where he knows Aoba well, so he didn't find out that Aoba was wrong at the moment.

In this way, Tojo-in Tsuru led the two into the palace called Orikatsugu and walked in a certain direction.

Aoba was carefully observing his surroundings all the way, because Uesugi Maki was also curious about the relationship between east and west, so Aoba's actions didn't seem to be wrong.

However, as Aoba observed, his face became more and more solemn, and it was obvious that Aoba had discovered something.

Along the way, Tojo-in Tsuru has been explaining some things about the palace to Aoba and Uesugi Maki, such as a side hall with a garden not far ahead, but now it is a school building and playground.

And with Tojo-inzuru's explanation, Uesugi Maki let out an exclamation from time to time, and Aoba's face became more and more solemn.

In this regard, Tojo Courtyard Crane only thought that the two personalities were completely opposite, and did not think much about it, until Tojo Courtyard Crane took the two to a slightly dilapidated small courtyard, and then stopped.

"Alright, this is it, this is your temporary accommodation for tonight. Tojo-in Tsuru walked into the courtyard with the two of them and said.

"Is this the place? Didn't you say this was a dormitory? Why is there no one?" Uesugi Maki followed Tojo-in Tsuru into the courtyard and wondered as he didn't understand.

"This is the temporary residence of all those who have entered the place of trial, who have not passed the trial, and who are not sure whether they can stay, and the reason why there are only the two of you is naturally because there are only two of you who have not yet participated in the trial! Ah, please forget what I said at the end. After Tojo Courtyard Crane couldn't help but sigh, he immediately reacted, this is not what should be said to the newcomer, so he said a little embarrassed.

"What did you just say, I'm sorry I didn't hear that!" Uesugi said, pretending to be stupid.

"That's really good, well, then you can rest first! Dinner will be brought to you, as for the trial, don't be in a hurry, someone will arrange it later, so that's it, I'll take my leave." Tojo-in Tsuru said goodbye to the two.

"Thank you so much for today. Uesugi Maki said the same.

Even Aoba, who had been in a daze, didn't forget to say goodbye to Tojo-in Crane with a smile at this time.

In this way, Tojo-in Tsuru, who was in charge of guiding the two newcomers, left. (To be continued.) )
