Chapter 87: Eternal Night Without Light (1)
The crescent moon, the forest of bones.
The black iron cross was covered with thorns, and the stone-carved tombstones were cracked into eight petals. The crow stopped in front of the ancient inscription, pecking at the flying insects, and colorful poisonous snakes passed through the grass and chased a lizard or two.
Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation appeared in the quiet and desolate forest.
The crow rattled and flapped his wings and flew up to the dead tree. The movement was like a signal, which made the animals in the forest suddenly alert. They reacted quickly, either hiding into tree holes, drilling into shrubs, or hiding into piles of stones, and only poking their heads slightly to check the abnormalities in the cemetery.
I saw the space slightly distorted, the energy trembled frequently, and the light and shadow intertwined, gradually outlining a figure. Long black hair, flat glasses, dark sportswear, looks ordinary and low-key, and has a weak sense of existence-
【The transition is completed.】
Unlike the "sleeping" of the novice competition, the "slight sleep" in the first game and the "snooze" in the second game, Li Yundan, who officially entered the third trial, has maintained a clear mind since the beginning of the jump, and has not even felt dizzy.
Perhaps because of the powerful spiritual consciousness, or because she experienced it all the way, she basically figured out the steps of "leap".
To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between transition and teleportation, but the former consumes more power than the latter, so on the way to transition, most of the Creators will be stunned by this force. They thought they had "slept a night" and came to the trial field, but in fact they were not.
Li Yundan stood up from the grass and patted off the scraps on her clothes. Since the arrival of the place was deep in the forest, she could not tell the outside environment for the time being, nor could she quickly integrate into the trial field.
However, there is not no information available...
Li Yundan squatted down. Out of respect for the deceased, she brushed away the dust from the tombstone with her hands and then put it together.
Then she saw the tombstone with ancient English and rare runes engraved, and eliminated the omissions, which roughly means that "the Earl of Leopold and his children will be buried in the place. The offender will be cursed."
But for Li Yundan, it is not important to be cursed or not. What is important is that the word "eurion". She remembers that this word is mentioned in the high school history textbook, saying that it was an ancient Western aristocrat?
Ancient Western?
Li Yundan became cautious and began to search around the cemetery. Not long after, when a wolf howl came from the cliff outside the dense forest, she turned up half of the stone tablet in the cemetery.
I saw the words "Benell Leopold, 1657-1687" written on it. The other two should be his children, one lived only 7 years old and the other was 5 years old.
Li Yundan paused, and after a moment of silence, he spliced the tombstones together.
The Count is a nobleman and will not die easily. But the whole family is buried in a place where the tomb is not formed, which is really wrong. Could it be that the nine clans were killed without rebellion? She could only think of this possibility.
"1687..." Li Yundan recalled his high school knowledge that he had not been to school for a few days, "Is it the 17th century?"
But she didn't know what the West looked like in the 17th century and what big things happened, just remembering that "the earth is round."
But this guess is not necessarily reliable. After all, the history of each trial site seems to be different. However, it is quite simple to tell whether it is in ancient times. Just take out the gold luck card to see if it can be used.
Li Yundan took out the gold luck card, but found that it had not changed its appearance. Only a line of small characters appeared on the front of the card: 100 gold coins, 200 silver coins and 300 copper coins.
How to get this?
She tried to pat the card, and suddenly felt that the palm of her hand was heavy and she lay ten copper coins. The front of the coin was a knight and a war horse, and the back was a rose. The pattern was clear and the workmanship was heavy.
Li Yundan weighed it: "It seems that it is really in ancient Western countries..."
In this way, her outfit is very wrong. The "Western Chinese Clothing" placed in the Endless Immortal Clan cannot be worn randomly. Who knows what identity and grade their fabrics, patterns and decorations represent?
The most urgent thing is that she has to find a place where living people live and get a dress they often wear. In this way, she can do everything step by step in the trial field without looking too eye-catching.
Li Yundan took a last look at the place where he was coming and left without looking back. She put her hand on "all aspects", and her mind moved, and her appearance and figure changed again.

Before passing through the giant tree, she was still a black-haired and black-eyed oriental girl; when she appeared again, she was a brown-haired and green-eyed Western girl with small freckles. She turned her hand and a cloak appeared in her hand. She rotated the cloak and wrapped herself in black.
Integrating into the darkness and walking towards the world. I don’t know how long she walked, but she finally found traces of human beings cutting down in the forest to the south.
Not far away, right nearby.
She discovered a path that was stepped on by someone and walked along the way. She saw several shoe prints. It seemed that ancient people in the West had shoes worn, and the shoe mold was very straight, not walking barefoot. As she got closer to the living, she heard the bells from the church...
Oh, and the clock.
No wonder she had some stereotypes about the ancients in the West, because the barbarians west of Dali were really poor. They walked barefoot, and they were all dependent on God for food and drink. They were dressed without being covered in clothes. If both men and women were not beautiful and had a sex to look at, they might have been exterminated if they were not provided with help.
Therefore, seeing that there were shoes and clocks in this trial field, Li Yundan felt that they were very promising.
Walking further forward, she saw the shadow of a town in the thin forest mist. The gray buildings were mostly wooden houses and cowsheds. Old brown wooden poles surrounded the walls, the fences were covered with mud, and the wind brought the smell of hay after being exposed to the sun, and a trace of inferior beer scent brushed across her nose.
It was eleven o'clock at night, and Li Yundan, wrapped in a black cloak, entered the town silently.
She stood on the top of a wooden roof, listening to the occasional barking and meowing of dogs, and observing people's clothes through the dim candlelight. However, at this point, most people were already asleep, and the only candlelight was only for those who were up at night.
Through the light and shadow, she saw the woman wearing a big brown skirt. She didn't know how many skirts she had layered, which made her hem look very large and her movements were quite limited.
At that time, the woman was carrying her child out of the house. She carefully protected the candle and warned the child in a stern tone: "Mona, don't drink too much water before going to bed in the future. You must sleep when it gets dark. Children who walk around at midnight will be captured by the demon...."
The child whispered, "Mom, are there really devils?"
"Don't call them! Stop talking, Mona!" The woman's face became ugly, "Hurry, go and solve it quickly. The night cannot light up, the candlelight will attract them."
The child went away obediently and came out soon. But the woman blew out the candle, picked up the child, carried the hem of the skirt and went upstairs. She closed the ventilation window and drowned the child's voice with the bedding. Soon, the town fell into a dead silence.
Li Yundan flew down from the roof and sneaked into the mother and daughter's home. She took away a set of brown dress from the hostess and left three silver coins to the place where the dress was placed.
Before leaving, she heard the child's voice: "Mom, can we eat black bread and drink milk tomorrow?"
The woman whispered, "Yes, go to bed."
"If I could eat bread, I wouldn't drink that much water." The child arched into his mother's arms, "Mom, I won't be full of water... Where has Dad been? What is heaven?"
The woman stopped talking, and Li Yundan quietly left.
She did not stay in this small town for a long time, but went into the forest, went into Sumeru, and quickly changed her clothes. Unfortunately, the dress was very difficult to wear. She barely put it on and walked along the road leading to the outside world of the town.
It was quiet late at night, and the voice of the coming of God still did not give a hint to start the trial. Li Yundan Quan was familiar with the terrain and was about to walk all night to see it. However, the panel that had always been silent in the trial field was no longer silent. Li Yundan heard a "ding" sound in his mind, which seemed to be a friend sending her a memorial.
This is?
As soon as she thought about it, she saw that the panel that could never be opened was "brushed" in front of her. She was really surprised and quickly flashed into the weeds at her waist. When she looked closely, she saw Xuan Youyi's name flashing wildly on the panel, while the names of the other friends were all gray.
"Big Boss! The panel has been upgraded, and I'm actually in the same trial field as you!"
"It turns out that you can contact your friends by just living through three trials. It's so amazing! Boss, where are you? Can I stay with you?"
She forgot this.
I still remember that when she was in the cage room trial field, after she got her first kill, Cui Muxin mentioned the matter of upgrading the panel. After living through three trials, she is eligible to upgrade her authority, you can contact friends, and receive a notification of first kill.
So that's it, the novice competition is a game. She thought it was just a preheating.

Li Yundan: "Where are you, I'll go find you. Before I find you, remember to dress up as an indigenous person." She said word by word, "If you can't, find a place to hide and hide until I come. Don't let them find you, I'm afraid you will be burned to death by them."
Looking from the perspective of the situation, if a group of people in strange costumes appeared in Dali, they would probably be arrested and burned to death. Living people are always rejected and afraid of things they don’t understand. It would be fine if they were just one or two people, but ignorance would be contagious. Once the rejection spreads to the group, the consequences would be very serious.
They will destroy the "unknown".
Xuan Youyi was frightened. She wanted to step out of the haystack, but immediately shrank back: "Big Boss, I'm in a haystack, and there should be a small town outside. There is a cowshed next to the haystack and a few sheep. I didn't find any other goodwill."
There is no extra information, which makes people wonder how to find someone. But at this moment, the panel suddenly disappeared, and it turned into a long guide, pointing out the direction to go.
Li Yundan reached out to touch it, but found that the thread could not be touched. Intuitively, she thought that the thread would not be seen by anyone. If the thread came out and everyone could see it, it would be the dereliction of duty of the voice of the coming of God.
On the east side?
Li Yundan followed the line.
The next day, after the morning prayer was finished, the residents of Quincy town welcomed a group of foreigners doing business. They brought carrots and potatoes and exchanged them for salt, wheat and beer.
During the collision between the copper coins, no one noticed a brown-haired and blue-eyed freckled girl mixed in. She covered her face with a headscarf, hurriedly ran through the bustling street, and entered a garment store.
This store is very famous in Quincy Town. After all, it has been passed down from three generations and is already a mature handmade garment store. Residents come here to replenish clothes, change clothes, and buy clothes. Sometimes outsiders come to take away a few beautiful ready-to-wear items.
When Li Yundan entered, he heard the owner exaggerating. She exaggeratedly: "Oh, beautiful girl, have you stole grandmother's clothes? This style has been outdated for a long time."
Li Yundan didn't say nonsense: "I'll buy clothes, how much does one cost?"
Perhaps she was dressed too shabby, and the owner didn't cheat her, but only stretched out five fingers: "Twenty copper coins per piece, fifty copper coins three pieces." And added, "Only the lining is cotton, and the remaining materials are hemp. If you like comfortable and soft fabrics and want to support your skirt, you will have to spend silver coins."
Li Yundan: "I want three pieces of clothes."
She picked three suitable sized clothes and asked the shop owner to change into her new clothes. Li Yundan quickly paid fifty copper coins, picked up the remaining clothes and left. It was not until dusk and sunset that everyone went home that she went to find Xuan Youyi - to help her change her clothes and watch her put on makeup quickly.
Although Xuan Youyi didn't make much money in the trial ground, she still made 660 points to buy a Qiankun bag the size of a car trunk.
On weekdays, she puts all her clothes, bedding, food, and daily necessities in it. Out of habit, she also prepares a lot of skin care products and cosmetics.
"I didn't expect to use them!" Xuan Youyi put on green contact lenses and dyed her long hair brown with hair dye. He also drew freckles on his face with a light brown eyebrow pencil, then wrapped it in a headscarf, and finally looked closer to Li Yundan's appearance.
She let out a long breath and packed her belongings: "I didn't expect that the background of the trial ground was medieval Europe, but it was not like Europe."
Li Yundan: "What do you say?"
"I have some knowledge of photography, so—" Xuan Youyi pointed to the clothes on our body. "The style of the clothes on our body is very skewed towards the 'taffeta dress', with stand-up collars, buckles and 'princess lines', but there is no traditional hip cushion shape. As far as I know, or in the world I came from, taffeta dress was popular in the 19th century. However, the towers in the town were in the 17th century."
She really couldn't tell the time clearly: "So, it's strange, but your judgment is very accurate, we should follow the local customs as soon as possible."
"The Middle Ages are so dark, they have a witch hunting movement." Xuan Youyi pointed at himself, "If they saw my black hair and black eyes and my strange clothes, they would really hang me up and burn me to death!"
"Boss, you saved me!"
As she said that, her eyes darkened: "Other Creators would not be so lucky, and I don't know where they will fall."
Li Yundan said nothing, she was waiting for the trial ground to open.
Witch hunting?
