The Trial Game of Life

At the first sight of entering the dungeon, a lush green burst into sight, from light green to green to dark green, towering ancient trees [-] meters high propped up the forest.The setting sun passes through the gaps in the trees and travels across mountains and rivers, but it is not as brilliant as the rose color of the Moon Hidden Kingdom. It is wrapped in a hazy mist like a veil, noble, mysterious and radiant with a sense of coldness.

In the double cover of the fog and trees, Tang Cuo vaguely saw some tree houses and palace spiers in the distance.A cloud bridge made of vines connects all the trees and buildings, and some vines bloom with flowers, white and pink, vague and unreal.

Forest of Spirits.

Tang Cuo recited the name silently in his heart, looked around, but did not find Jin Cheng.Apparently they were separated again

【Moon Hidden Kingdom】

Third ring: Forest of elves

Main line: Visit the secret lake

Tang Cuo didn't know where the secret lake was, and it wasn't easy to walk around in the fog, so he decided to go to a place with people in front to find out.

He walked neither fast nor slow, keeping an eye on the surroundings, and it didn't take long for him to realize that those tree houses and palaces with spires seemed to be not far away, but they were far away when they walked.

This forest is weird, maybe it's a maze, maybe it's caused by fog.

Suddenly, Tang Cuo heard a faint voice coming from the right.He paused, thought for a while, and then decisively searched for the source of the sound.

Pushing aside the overgrown bushes, he saw young men and women standing face to face under the tree.The huge ancient wood was like a towering canopy, which shattered the setting sun and sprinkled it on their shoulders.There are still wind chime-like flowers hanging upside down on the prosperous branches, swaying gently with the evening wind.The white mist is like yarn, beautiful and brilliant.

One of them is a female elf with silver hair and pointed ears. She is tall and has a heavenly face. Although her temperament is a little cold, her flushed cheeks dilute the sense of alienation and perfectly blend nobleness and girlishness.Those green pupils seem to be able to speak, and they can easily accept you as a servant under the skirt.

The other turned his back to Tang Cuo, but Tang Cuo could guess his identity without seeing his face, even if he existed as someone else at the moment.

Jin Cheng.

It turns out here.

So is this a rape scene?

Tang Cuo was expressionless but not angry at all, and even automatically entered the mode of watching a movie.He didn't make a sound, leaning against the tree quietly, watching the men and women in the distance.

The elf brought something to Jin Cheng, and said something to him, too far away, Tang Cuo didn't hear clearly.

Jin Cheng picked it up, but the spirit was suddenly lost, as if he had heard something he didn't want to hear.But after a while, she turned around and left, holding the hem of her skirt and running faster and faster. The moment she turned around, there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.

Tang Cuo thought, if Jin Cheng is a 100% straight man, he must be born alone.

"Come out." Jin Cheng's words interrupted his train of thought.

Tang Cuo raised his eyebrows, not sure if Jin Cheng knew he was coming, or if he just heard someone approaching.While thinking, Jin Cheng turned his head, his eyes fell on him accurately, and the corner of his mouth smiled.

Ok.

Tang Cuo shrugged, walked over generously, and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Jin Cheng: "Your footsteps are different from others."

Tang Cuo accepted this explanation for now.After being baptized in Eternal Night City, Jin Cheng's hearing has reached the level of abnormality, and it is normal to be able to hear it.

"What is your mission?" Tang Cuo cut directly to the point.

"Visiting the secret lake." Jin Cheng said, raising his hand against the tree trunk, blocking Tang Cuo's way, "Aren't you going to ask about what happened just now?"

"Oh, who was that NPC just now?"

"wrong."

"What mission props did she give you?"

"wrong."

"Have you triggered the mission plot?"

"Still wrong."

After finishing speaking, Jin Cheng leaned over slightly, the distance between the two sides was infinitely narrowed, and the breathing could be heard.He also deliberately lowered his voice, using a more magnetic and seductive voice, "Think about it again?"

If Scar gave him the charm of a mature man, then he acted like a childish teenager in love at the moment.I have to make you jealous, I have to make you applaud him, otherwise I will quarrel with you, and I will put his intentions on the bright side, so that you may not see it.

Tang Cuo, as a rational and generous boyfriend, had to cooperate with him, "What were you talking to that female elf secretly just now? Why did you accept her things?"

Jin Cheng smiled, "Are you jealous?"

Tang Cuo was expressionless, "Yes."

Jin Cheng then bowed his head and kissed him. Tang Cuo felt that he might just be playing a hooligan with his smiling face and unknowingly coquettish appearance.

shameless.

Fortunately, Jin Cheng didn't push himself further, and the conversation between the two returned to business.

The elf just now was named Sophia, a princess of the elf family, and her status was extremely noble.She seemed to have taken a fancy to the bard Lancelot, specially asked him to meet here, and gave him a pendant.Jin Cheng also learned from her the reason why Theodore and Lancelot appeared in the Forest of Elves.

The Forest of Elves is located in the middle of the continent of Sicily. If you go from the Principality of Farland in the north to the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers in the south, you will most likely pass through here.

But the forest of elves is the territory of the elves, and the elves are noble. If they are not their recognized friends, they are generally not allowed to set foot in this sacred land.The forest of elves itself is also rich in natural magic elements, causing it to be filled with fog from time to time, and it is easy for ordinary travelers to get lost if they accidentally enter it by mistake.

So although many travelers will pass by here, there are very few who can really enter the forest of elves.It represents mystery in the hearts of everyone in Sicily.

But not long ago, the Elven Forest encountered some troubles, and issued a reward task through the Ivy League.So Theodore, a young knight who concealed his identity and practiced in the Ivy League office, came here to receive a mission.

As for Lancelot, he may have come with Theodore.

"You said that the change in the Forest of Elves came from the secret lake?" Tang Cuo was thoughtful.

"Yes, the secret lake is deep in the forest, and it seems to be the holy land of the elves. But three months ago, the fog there suddenly increased, so that the elves lost contact with the secret lake. They still couldn't find a solution to the problem , so we had to ask for help. Tomorrow morning, our group will set off for the secret lake." Jin Cheng said.

"What impact will the change of the secret lake have on the forest of elves?"

"She didn't say that in detail, but repeatedly emphasized that tomorrow's trip would be very dangerous, and advised me not to go. My main task is to visit the secret lake, of course I can only refuse, so she gave me a pendant, saying that there are elves on it The blessing of the king, I hope it can bless me. I have seen that this pendant cannot be stored in the equipment column for the time being, and I don’t know the specific effect, it may be a task trigger item.”

The blessing of the Elven King?Tang Cuo suddenly remembered that there were similar words in the description of Judgment Sword - the sword of His Excellency Duke Theodore of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom, possessing the blessing of No.13 Elf King Aimiya, enchanted weapon (damaged).

"Who is the current elf king?"

"I didn't say anything either."

The clue was interrupted, Tang Cuo discussed with Jin Cheng, and continued walking towards the tree house.This time, the two of them walked together for a long time, and seemed to have detoured due to the fog, but at least they arrived smoothly.

The fog gradually dissipated here, and the field of vision returned to clarity, slowly unfolding a picture scroll of elves bestowed by God.

Elves, no matter in which story, are both a noble and beautiful race, living in seclusion in the mysterious foggy forest, and rarely showing their true face to the world.

And when all this was displayed in front of Tang Cuo's eyes, he had to admit that it was indeed beautiful.It's so beautiful that people can't feel a little playful, as if it is the moon high in the sky, and it should hang there high, not to be contaminated by a speck of dust in the world.

Then began to give birth to a sense of unreality.

Pointy-eared elves in twos and threes, wearing tunic gauze and barefoot, walking along the path paved with rocks, carrying bamboo fruit baskets or holding water bottles.Most of them have golden and silver hair, blue pupils, fair skin, and handsome appearance.

There are many elves dressed as guards on the periphery, wearing boots and exquisitely shaped rattan armor to protect the chest and wrists, and carrying bows and arrows and quiveres on their backs, looking heroic.

The tree houses are scattered all around without any trace of chiseling, as if they were naturally grown from branches and vines, but the walls and windows are dotted with complex and graceful patterns.

And the distribution of the ladders, the flowers hanging from the door, and even the patterns on a pottery bowl all demonstrate the unique artistic aesthetics of the elves.

"Theodore! Lancelot!"

Suddenly someone called their names in front of them. Tang Cuo followed the reputation and found that it was an old friend—the Celtic knight of the Ivy League office in the Principality of France.

Celtic stood in the corridor of a tree house and waved to them. Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng walked up the tree house from the spiral staircase winding around the tree trunk, and joined Celtic.

It's just that when he was walking up the stairs, Jin Cheng turned his head and glanced in a certain direction, frowning slightly.

"Where did you go? It made me worry for a long time." Celtic led them into the house.

"It's nothing, it's the first time I'm here, let's walk around." Tang Cuo said.

"That's right, the forest of elves can't come in all the time." Celtic looked around with a pair of small eyes, then closed the door, and lowered his voice: "But I found a problem."

Tang Cuo: "What?"

Celtic: "Didn't I just look for you, I couldn't find it no matter how I searched, so I wanted to ask the elf guards if they saw you go out. But I found that the atmosphere between them was very tense and serious, as if they had been What are you guarding against? I am very worried.”

Jin Cheng: "Isn't it normal for them to be worried about the changes in the secret lake?"

Celtic: "I thought it was normal at first, so I didn't think much about it when I saw this mission, so I came with Theodore. But I just found this under the bed."

Spreading out his palms, Celtic showed them a small feathered brooch.

He then explained: "This is a new product that has only been on sale in Little Windmill Harbor in the past few months. Have you seen the feathers on it? It is said to be the feathers plucked from the chest of hunting birds, which are very expensive."

Tang Cuo understood, "This is the guest room. The brooches that have only been sold recently appear here. You suspect that someone has come to the forest of elves before us."

"That's right." Celtic frowned, "But we haven't heard anything about it."

Jin Cheng rolled his eyes and asked, "What about the others?"

Because of the bounty mission, there must be more than the three of them who came to the forest of elves, so it would be faster to ask Celtic.Celtic did not suspect him, and said: "Are you talking about those people in the Little Windmill Office and the Montenegro Office? Although we are all members of the Ivy League, we belong to different offices. I'm not sure they know How many."

It seems that there are not a few people who went to the Forest of Elves to help this time. There are only three offices from the Ivy League.Jin Cheng suddenly thought of something, "I remember that Little Windmill Harbor is far away from here?"

Celtic did not doubt him, "Yeah, who knew they just passed by, so they came in with us. Look at the golden equipment, I'm afraid others don't know that the water drinking in Little Windmill Harbor is made of honey."

Just passing by?

Tang Cuo exchanged glances with Jin Cheng, and then glanced at the badge in Celtic's hand.Judging from Celtic's tone, the relationship between the various offices of the Ivy League seems not to be harmonious.

After a little thought, Tang Cuo tentatively said, "But no matter what, we all belong to the Ivy League."

"Yes." Celtic sat down deflated, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and drank it down. "Who made us all belong to the Ivy League? Even if we are remote country bumpkins, they are The flapping white sea eagle. In the eyes of those druids, dwarves, and scattered adventurers, we are one. If something goes wrong here, the funding for our office in the Principality of Farland will have to be cut again next year."

Celtic was still worried, it seemed that he really hated the people in the Little Windmill Office.

Tang Cuo is not worried, but he is not very optimistic about the current situation.Firstly, the trip to the secret lake has a large number of participants, making it difficult to control the situation; secondly, the elves seem to have concealed the situation of the secret lake.Coupled with the appearance of the badge and the words of the princess, the danger level of this trip directly increased to three stars.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the main task this time is too simple.

It's not about the difficulty of the task, but the way the task is given.In the first two dungeons, the system gave Tang Cuo a very detailed step-by-step task reminder, such as walking through the tunnel after protecting the Grand Duke, and going to the church after walking through the tunnel. Even the route was planned.

But what about this time?There is only one visit to the secret lake.The degree of freedom is too high, but it is disturbing.

Tang Cuo took a step back, and whispered to Jin Cheng avoiding Celtic, "What do you think?"

Jin Cheng folded his arms, "When I went up the stairs just now, someone seemed to be looking at me. Now there are still about twelve hours before departure tomorrow morning, I think we have to do something. Once we enter the range of the secret lake, we may not be able to come back gone."

Tang Cuo basically agrees.

The eyes of the two then fell on Kaierte, Tang Cuo raised his eyebrows at Jin Cheng to signal, Jin Cheng spread his hands, pretending to be innocent.After flirting with each other for a while, Jin Cheng took out a poke ball.

Dizzy dick——poweredby10086.

The author has something to say:

Many people may have forgotten the character of Celtic.A supporting role that appeared in the front is fooled by the protagonist every day. It is similar to the setting of a helper, so there is no need to go back and watch it.
