At the highest point of the forest, beyond the dark clouds, there was a special hemispherical room.
It even felt like the clouds were carrying this special room. Other than a giant telescope made of pure copper, the room was made of a special silica stone that could reflect all kinds of light.
Name: [Stargazing Room]
There were two people in the room … or it seemed like there was only one person.
"A new student is here. He seems pretty good …"
"How can you tell?"
"His body is very weak … weaker than the previous students. To be able to pass the destiny event with such a body, there must be something unusual about him."
"I remember now. He should be called [Warren Nicholas] … is it him? A trainee knight who passed the four-star event. "
"Four-star. It's been a long time since I saw a four-star new student. Should we increase the difficulty of the test?"
"I don't think so … increasing the randomness and variables will allow us to better examine a new student's overall quality and not just increase the difficulty.
Moreover, the way he passed the four-star event might not be through brute force. "
"I'll listen to you. Will the test be held in the Dark Moon Forest or in the tower?"
"The former. There are more variables."
"Which method should we use?"
"Let him choose for himself … Also, we need to add one more variable."
"Oh? You're not increasing the difficulty? "
"The variable is not dangerous. It's just a simple variable. Moreover, it's important to his future development … If this young man can see the variable we set, he can pay special attention to it."
"This is not your style … crow."
"Such is fate."
…
Caw! Caw!
The number of crows was much more than Han Dong imagined.
The carriage ran along the winding road. Along the way, Han Dong saw crows perched on every tree branch.
The rhythmic cawing of the crows seemed to be transmitting some kind of signal.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped. It was not out of the forest area yet.
"There's no road?"
The forest road that should have led to the Mysticism building was cut off halfway. It was blocked by trees.
Han Dong could only walk down the carriage and find a 'road sign' at the end of the road. There were a few strange words written on it — [Dark Moon Forest Exit]. There was also a directional arrow.
"It seems like I need to walk through the forest to reach the Mystery Branch building area and complete the new student registration … Fortunately, I came prepared."
Han Dong had always believed that 'fire' was very useful.
At least during the newbie incident and the ghoul incident, he had to use a torch for illumination. Therefore, Han Dong lit a torch that he had prepared in his backpack and carefully ventured deeper into the creepy Dark Moon Forest.
It was easy to lose one's sense of direction and deviate from the straight path when walking through such a dark and dense forest of tall dead trees.
However, Han Dong's situation was different. He could clearly realize what a straight line was. Even if his walking route deviated from a straight line due to physical problems, he would immediately correct it.
Maybe it was Han Dong's strong sense of direction, or maybe it was the effect of the Faceless Skull.
They walked for about half an hour.
Unable to leave the Withered Tree Forest, he found an exquisite little wooden house in the forest that was overflowing with firelight.
Ever since he was reborn into this world, Han Dong had seen too many novel things.
"Maybe this small wooden house that's less than a hundred square meters is the main building of mysticism … Let's go take a look."
There was meaning in its existence.
Han Dong carefully approached the wooden house and circled it. He found that the wooden house did not have a 'window' design … The firelight he saw earlier was only seeping through the gap in the front door.
* Knock Knock Knock *
There was no response when he knocked on the door.
Han Dong slowly pushed open the wooden door.
It was just an ordinary wooden house, not a different world as he had imagined.
However, there were many exquisite and strange 'props' placed inside the wooden house. It was as if he had entered an antique shop from the Middle Ages.
A letter of unknown origin fell right in front of Han Dong.
[Please choose any complete prop in the wooden house. You can even take down the door and take it with you! However, it must be complete.]
Walk out of the Dark Moon Forest and hand over the prop to the management office.
(Note: Your performance will determine your overall rating for the Mystery Branch.)]
"Another test … It's just studying, but it's really strict.
First, it was the Fate event, then the interview, then the background check in secret. And now, do I still need to go through the relevant tests before I go to the major building to register? "
Han Dong had thought that after he arrived at the Mystery Branch building, he would be able to use some basic testing equipment to determine what he was good at and from there, plan his future studies.
He did not expect it to be carried out in such a strange way.
"The results of the test will affect your future studies at the Knight Academy. Cheer up."
After a few days of stress-free rest, Han Dong's condition had never been better … Not to mention, he had reattached a 'ghoul arm.'
He quickly examined the various props in the wooden house.
"Green Crystal Craft (Frog)" in a jewelry box.
"Mourning Box" sealed with a glass cover.
"Gas Mask" fused with the steam style.
"Stitched Pig Mask" hung on the wall.
"White Silk Thread" scattered on the ground.
…
"Let's not talk about the miscellaneous items in the house.
There are twelve options for the 'Special Prop' alone. Once I make a choice, the test will be conducted. The following test methods would also be decided, and the difficulty level might be different.
Let's choose this … "
Han Dong stared at the 'Mourning Box' in the glass coffin and was about to choose this prop that seemed to come from hell.
Creak ~ (The sound of a wooden board creaking)
Because of the sound of his foot stepping on a special wooden board … This detail immediately attracted Han Dong's attention.
The sound of this wooden board being pressed was different from the others.
"As expected … A hidden compartment?"
He easily moved the strange wooden board under his foot.
In a secret compartment corresponding to the bottom of the ground, a small rusty iron box was stored in it.
After checking the 'item' stored in 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's here!"
The moment he stepped out of the wooden house, the sound of light footsteps came from the forest.
For a moment, Han Dong's expression changed and he entered a state of alert … A green line of plague flowed on the surface of his right arm.
Unexpectedly, it was a dirty black-haired girl who ran out of the forest.
From the skin color and facial features, she should be from the Middle East. She also wore three golden nose rings on her nose.
The girl's hand was holding the golden card that symbolized a trainee knight.
She squinted her eyes and asked with a little vigilance, "You … you are a trainee knight?"
"Yes."
"Great! … I was lost in the Dark Moon Forest for a few days and finally found the right direction. "
