Chapter 242: The "Lying Win" Wolf Lady (Asking for Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)
Chapter 242: The "lying win" wolf lady (asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month~)
The starlight and the shadows interweave into a picture scroll.
Ryan stared at the girl in front of him, looking at the dark blue ring lying quietly on her palm.
The tiny light particles danced like fireflies, and the surging emotions flowed in his heart.
Ryan didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand, but before his fingers touched the ring, a tender jade hand reached out from the side and gently grasped the edge of his palm.
Ryan blinked and looked at the witch lady who stretched out her hand to hold him.
Facing his gaze, Furenyi's eyes were a little erratic, and her earlobes were also faintly flushed, but soon, she looked up and looked at Ryan, with a faint smile on her lips:
"Mr. Ryan, I'll put it on for you."
The witch lady's words did not ask, but were affirmative, with a bit of domineering meaning.
Ryan smiled at the corners of his mouth, and Furenyi was also very cute.
Gently lifting Ryan's hand, Freni carefully placed the dark blue ring on the front of Ryan's right middle finger. She paused and looked at Ryan steadily.
In response to her, it was Ryan's gentle eyes.
Freni bit her plump lips and put the dark blue ring on Ryan's middle finger.
After doing this, Miss Witch's soft jade hands did not withdraw, but took Ryan's right palm: "In the future, please give me more advice."
"Knight Ryan~"
"Please give me more advice, my captain."
Ryan stared blankly at the girl in front of him.
He was not a wooden man, so he naturally knew what it meant for a girl to put a ring on the middle finger of a boy.
Not to mention, the last paragraph of the description of the [Dark Moon Ring] on the panel had already clearly and accurately shown the other party's intentions.
The beauty is like a painting, beautiful beyond words.
On this night and in the starry sky, a contract for the future will be established.
And, never break the oath!
A strong green light emerged from the two people's surroundings, turning their bodies, starting from their feet, into tiny particles of light.
With the disappearance of the "Void Carrier" and the restoration of Freni's body, the test of the Holy Tree, or more precisely, the test of this test world, also came to an end.
Ryan stretched out his hand and held Miss Witch's soft hand tightly.
The world in front of him returned to darkness, and after a few seconds, it returned to light.
Before opening his eyes to observe the surroundings, Ryan felt the warmth in his palms, and his heart was at peace.
He opened his eyes and saw Miss Witch standing beside him, who also looked at him at the same time.
Compared with the mature charm of the test world, Freni at this moment looked much more immature, and it seemed that she had not experienced a hundred years like the test world.
"Is the time in the test world not synchronized with the time in the real world outside?"
Ryan guessed in his heart, and then he looked at the surrounding situation.
What he saw was no longer the starry sky, but a wide wooden platform.
In the center of the platform, a small gray tree was quietly staying.
This was the place where Ryan had chosen the trial world before.
Looking at the small gray sapling in front of him, Ryan's eyes were a little solemn.
After experiencing Freni's trial world, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the reason why the three of them encountered this time was most likely from the small gray tree in front of him.
"Holy tree..."
"What kind of secrets does the Ash Sea contain..."
Ryan's heart was heavy.
Freni, who was standing next to Ryan, also saw the small gray tree at this moment, but what Freni cared more about than it was the shadow projected in front.
[Moon Wolf Princess Cecilia - Current Assessment World: Tree Back Shadow · Dark Cemetery, Assessor Status: Slightly Injured. (Non-[Traveler], Cannot Enter the Assessment World)]
Freni's eyes were a little dazed.
Hundreds of years passed like flowing water. Although she had not left any traces on her body, the countless memories and knowledge retained in her soul were so real.
For a moment, she could not distinguish between reality and illusion.
Now, looking at the "assessment" clearly presented in front of her, she finally confirmed that the hundred years she had experienced were not real.
And this also caused her incomparable shock.
What kind of power can be used to control time like this?
No, it is not necessarily to control time. It is also possible to simply accelerate the thinking of an individual.
But no matter which one it is, it is an incredible thing.
Even a true god-level person would never be able to do this.
After a long time, calming down the excitement in her heart, Furenyi focused her attention on the projection.
"You cannot enter the assessment world without a companion."
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and soon she realized something and looked at Ryan beside her: "Mr. Ryan, you are a companion, right?"
Ryan nodded.
"I was here before, entering your assessment world through this small gray tree."
"According to the hints given here, only if the three of us pass the trial at the same time can we go to a place called [Tree King Sanctuary]."
"If you want to leave here, there is no other way at the moment, you can only follow the hints step by step."
Ryan looked at the endless dark abyss under the wooden platform. Even though he has been promoted to the fifth-level legend and his combat power has increased to surpass that of a senior demigod, he still feels the deep danger when he stares into the abyss.
"In addition, when I entered your assessment world before, Cecilia's status was still healthy, but now it has become a minor injury."
"It seems that I still need to go in and take a look."
"... Be careful." Freni said softly.
Seeing Cecilia in the assessment world, Freni was happy, because this meant that Cecilia's current situation was not critical.
But on the other hand, she was also worried about Cecilia and Ryan who was about to enter it.
It was precisely because she knew the whole process of her trial that Freni deeply understood the danger.
Even though Mr. Ryan was powerful, in this mysterious place, demigods were really nothing, at least, they could not escape the cage of the rules here.
"Don't worry."
"Captain, you wait here, I will bring Cecilia back safely as soon as possible."
After a long separation, it is undoubtedly hard to part.
But Ryan also knew that there was nothing he could do.
From the change of state, it can be seen that Cecilia's situation may not be too optimistic, otherwise there would be no deterioration of the state.
If Cecilia is allowed to take the trial alone, the probability of passing it is probably not high.
Otherwise, there is no need to come up with the identity of a [companion].
Just look at Freni. If he had not intervened, the final result would be completely different - Diana of the Sky would first destroy Freni's body under the Holy Tree, and then the trial would be completely failed.
Although the result of the failure of the trial was not stated, Ryan knew very well that there was only one, that is, death.
"Everything, be very careful."
The voice of the witch lady behind him made Ryan smile. He waved his hand, and then lightly touched the gray tree in front of him.
The next moment, the rich gray light completely submerged Ryan's sight.
On the wooden platform, looking at the disappearing Ryan and the gray tree standing quietly in the center of the platform, which seemed to have not changed for thousands of years, Freni took a deep breath.
She hated her weakness.
In the assessment world, she has walked a long way on the path of runes. Although she has left the assessment world and is no longer the controller of the holy tree, the knowledge and experience have not disappeared, but have settled in the depths of her soul. As long as she digs again, she will soon be able to adapt to this weak body again.
At the same time, the analysis of "emptiness" and hundreds of years of exploration have also allowed Furenee to find a possible way to break through the legend.
As for whether it is feasible, we need to try it before we know.
During the time when Mr. Ryan entered Cecilia's assessment world, she had to improve her strength as much as possible.
She really didn't want to endure this feeling of powerlessness anymore.
...
The gray light faded before his eyes.
Ryan's feet went from being empty to having a real sense of stepping.
He didn't have time to observe his surroundings.
A violent sound of breaking through the air came from in front of him, and faster than the sound was the black tail tip that rapidly enlarged in Ryan's pupils.
"Puff!"
The black tail tip pierced through the shadow of Ryan's head, and Ryan's real body had already come to the side of the owner of the tail tip.
Looking at the "big guy" in front of him, Ryan's eyes showed interest.
This is a "big rat" with a very strange shape.
From the overall image, it is no different from a rat, but its body size is enlarged hundreds of times, and the tail behind it has grown barbs, and the tip of the tail has even mutated into a shape similar to the head of a gun.
After observing for a while, Ryan, who didn't find anything else, raised his finger and gently tapped the side of the gun-tailed rat's head.
"Sizzle..."
After a slight sound, the light in the gun-tailed rat's eyes completely dimmed, and the whole body fell to the ground weakly.
Under Ryan's gaze, wisps of black air rose from the gun-tailed rat's body, and rose all the way, and finally merged into a blood moon hanging high in the dark night sky.
Ryan looked up and squinted at the blood moon.
"Is this the 'Back of the Tree·Dark Cemetery'..."
"What is its relationship with the Capital of the Tree Country?"
Ryan's mind was full of thoughts, and then he looked around.
Because of the attack of the gun-tailed rat, he had not had time to observe the surroundings.
What appeared in front of him was an endless black.
The desolate and lonely Gobi was shrouded in a faint mist, and after more than a hundred meters, the mist became extremely thick.
Under the illumination of the blood moon, the mist appeared light red, giving people a strong sense of ominousness.
Suppressing his thoughts, Ryan's spirituality surged in his body, and then he burst up like a rocket.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters...
The distance from the ground was getting higher and higher, but in the visual sense, the distance from the blood moon was not close at all.
Not only that, Ryan could feel that his body became extremely heavy, and even the surge of spirituality became sluggish.
The higher he went, the more serious this situation became.
"Are you not allowed to fly high..."
After realizing this, Ryan stopped ascending and stood in midair to observe.
At this altitude, the concealing effect of the fog was reduced a lot. Ryan vaguely saw a majestic building complex in the far north.
"Will it be there?"
Ryan returned to the ground and headed north.
Since there were no other clues, he could only go there to take a look.
Ryan did not choose to fly, but walked step by step.
Although legends can fly, they consume a lot of spiritual energy and cannot maintain a long-term consumption balance. At the end of the flight, they will not only be forced to land due to insufficient spiritual energy, but if they encounter a strong enemy, they will put themselves in danger.
Therefore, no legend on the sea will choose to fly over the sea.
The same is true now.
Although Ryan thought that his strength was not weak now, it would always be good to keep a low profile in this unknown land.
All the way forward, it was desolate and silent.
There were not even any attacking monsters.
This made Ryan doubt a little. He had just arrived in the assessment world and encountered an attack. How lucky he was.
It was not that he felt unhappy because there was no monster attack, but mainly because the black gas coming out of the guntail rat's body just now made him very concerned.
The Tree Kingdom has been invaded by "empty", so this tree back is unlikely to be quiet and peaceful, right?
Without an attack, Ryan was also happy to be idle.
The fog passed quickly on both sides, and soon, Ryan finally came to the front of the building complex.
Without the cover of fog, this time, he finally saw the whole picture here.
Unlike the magnificent building complex in his imagination, what appeared in front of Ryan could not be said to be a building, but a row of thick stone pillars.
The radius of each one was a hundred meters away, and it was spectacular from a distance.
These stone pillars were high and low. The front one was the lowest. The back one rose successively, and the higher the stone pillar, the larger the radius.
It was a bit like a primitive and rough step to the sky?
With curiosity, Ryan came to the first stone pillar, his body burst up, and soon, he came to the first stone pillar.
The light of the blood moon flowed on the stone plane. A stone tablet stood not far from Ryan, and in the center of the platform in the distance, a black shadow was crawling.
Without approaching the black shadow rashly, Ryan came to the stone tablet and looked up.
Lines of text were presented in a way that he could understand.
——
[Death Pillar Steps]
[There are nine pillars in total. Only those who have crossed the nine pillars are qualified to meet the Lord of the Dead Moon. ]
[After the challenger climbs the pillar and fails, he will not really die, but will lose part of his origin and power. He will be reborn as a "wandering soul" somewhere in the cemetery. The creatures with the "Wandering Soul Seal" can plunder the origin and power of other wandering souls after defeating them, restore themselves, and become stronger. ]
[Only the fireworks blooming in death are the most dazzling. ]
[Strong people, climb the Death Pillar Steps. The Lord of the Dead Moon looks at you and me equally. ]
——
Looking at the content on the stone tablet, Ryan's eyes showed a strange look.
Compared with the complicated situation in the Tree Kingdom, Cecilia's assessment world seems to be much simpler and more direct.
Although I don't know where Cecilia is now, as long as I cross the nine layers of the Pillar of Death and defeat the "Lord of the Dead Moon", even if Cecilia is not there the whole time, I think it can be considered that she has completed the assessment, right?
Whether it is so, you will know after trying it.
Ryan turned his head and looked at the huge black shadow crawling on the ground in the center of the platform.
Even if it is lying on the ground, it is nearly ten meters high.
Such a body size, and the faint sense of oppression, is really...
It is difficult for hunters not to feel excited!
Ryan grinned, stretched his muscles, and then raised his hand to hold the hilt of the greatsword behind him, and strode towards the direction of the black shadow.
