Fang Qiuling looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and found that the hour hand had passed nine, and the minute hand had just reached six. It's half past nine.

- What time of morning did you come when you crossed over?

I don't remember much about two months ago, but it must have been before lunch. Then set the time to open the door of the other world at eleven o'clock.

- Is the compensation of time from the first crossing completely over?

Fang Qiuling sat on the wooden fence, the more he sitted, the more uneasy he became, and he hurriedly took out a pen and paper and began to count the time. In fact, this time has been counted several times, once when starting from Huquan Town, the second time when on the road, and the third time the day after arriving in the village. It's the fourth time.

It's clear he's having obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The number of days is quickly counted as the sixty-seventh day, including today. A few days more than originally planned, and the extra days were just in case.

- No problem, it's definitely no problem in terms of time to go back today!

The sun is gradually rising, and the estimated time is approaching little by little.

Malu jumped over, and immediately jumped over when she saw her No. 1 shovel officer, and then meowed and stretched out her little claws to hug her.

Fang Qiuling smiled slightly, reached out to pick up Ma Lu, and rubbed it in his arms.

There was snow everywhere on the ground, and Malu was a long-haired Ragdoll cat, and she inevitably got a lot of snow on her body. And lately it has been playing crazy in the village, running around, and the tips of its long white hair are more or less stained with dust. At this moment, it was mixed with the slightly melting snow water, and suddenly turned into a black and white cow cat.

"Malu, I've been having a lot of fun lately."

In response to Fang Qiuling, there was a "meow" full of vitality, and there was a small head constantly rubbing against Fang Qiuling's palm.

"You see, you're so naughty, you're playing so crazy, your hair is black. When you go back, you will be seen by Xiaoyue and Xiaotu, and they will definitely catch you to take a bath. ”

As soon as she heard the word "bath", Malu immediately showed a nervous expression. The little head stopped rubbing the palms of its hands, and its limbs began to tighten, and it was obvious that as soon as it heard "take a bath" again, it would immediately run.

- Malu is not dirty! Malu don't take a bath!

Ma Lu's vigilant expression completely fell in Fang Qiuling's eyes, making Fang Qiuling feel very interesting.

"Malu Malu, I remember when the young ladies bathed you in the past, you didn't enjoy it very much. Why don't you like it now? ”

"Meow!"

Ma Lu turned her head sideways and bit Fang Qiuling's finger. Judging from its grinning and unyielding expression, it is obviously expressing: You are talking nonsense! You talk nonsense!

"yes, am I mistaken?"

Fang Qiuling easily withdrew his finger from Ma Lu's mouth, and then turned his finger and pointed it on its small nose. Malu also opened her mouth to bite without showing weakness.

Before she could amuse herself, Eliza came over humming a ballad. She holds the rabbit in one hand and pulls Shino in the other. They wore identical robes and were of similar height, looking like a pair of sisters at first glance.

"Brother Seurik, you want to get a bunny."

"Thank you."

- The Gate of the Otherworld, the test through assistant No. 1 is in place.

"Brother Thurik, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Eliza's eyes were unblinking, full of anticipation. Sino didn't speak, but his eyes were just as bright.

It should be late December in the present world. New Year's Day is coming soon, and then the Spring Festival is coming in late January. Fastest ...... I will come back after the Spring Festival at the earliest.

Fang Qiuling made a rough calculation in his heart, and then said, "This ...... Probably more than a month, within two months. ”

"Hmm, it's going to take that long to go back......"

"What's wrong? I haven't left yet, so I can't bear to do it, right? ”

"Only, not yet!"

Eliza's face is tender, and a casual joke can make her blush for a long time.

"Shino, don't keep a straight face. Look at how beautiful Eliza looks when she smiles, and you should smile more. ”

Shino didn't answer, but the subtle change in expression on his face conveyed the meaning of "I want you to take care of it".

After getting along for a long time, Fang Qiuling, the master, usually doesn't do anything right, and Sino is also unconsciously learning. Although he still maintained respect for his master, as long as it was not a serious matter, Sino would automatically "filter" Fang Qiuling's words.

- Obviously when I first met, I was still very simple and good, and the child said.

Without a few words to Eliza, old Tom came over with a step.

"Hey, Thulick, when are you leaving?"

"A little later, before noon."

"Before noon? What's so important about this? ”

"I'm waiting for the gathering of mana in the form of a free form in space. There will be a small Mana Flood before noon, and I will use the power of the Tide to open the portal, so that I can have a greater grasp. ”

Fang Qiuling casually said a set of spell theories that sounded profound and mysterious, but in fact, these contents were all made up by him. Anyway, there are no wizards in the village now, and there are no other senior spellcasters, Fang Qiuling himself is the most senior spell researcher, who can debunk him casually?

"Well, that's going to have to wait a little longer." Old Tom took out the endless wine glass from his arms and handed it to Fang Qiuling, "This thing will be returned to you." ”

The mountain village where the cat charms live is remote, there are no shops or inns in the village, and there is no place to buy alcohol. Therefore, Fang Qiuling directly handed over the endless wine glass to Old Tom, so that the old drunkard would not run out of wine to drink every day.

Fang Qiuling shook his head slightly: "Dad, let you go first." Just ...... Just make your first commission. Aren't you going to explore the Black Forest with me? I don't have a lot of gold coins in hand, so I'll take this as a reward. ”

"Okay, when will you leave? I'll get ready first. ”

"I'll go when I'm back. Oh, by the way, Joestar and what about them? ”

"They stayed in Jinhe Town, and I told them to wait in Huquan Town in the spring of next year."

"Okay, then ask them if they're willing to go."

Old Tom raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to ask if you want to?" As squires, they should obey the orders of the sovereign unconditionally! ”

Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders very casually: "After all, it is not easy to open up the Black Forest, and it is not strange that it may be eaten by the monsters in the Black Forest." This is always voluntary. Okay, let's just decide that first. ”

"Okay, listen to you, you have the final say."

While talking to Old Tom, Pastor Ed also came over. Seeing that Fang Qiuling's conversation with Old Tom was over, he also stepped forward.

"Mr. Norn, you're still a pioneer knight?"

Originally, Pastor Ed was just going to come over and have a look, and he didn't plan to talk. However, when he heard that Old Tom and Fang Qiuling were about to go to the Black Forest, he couldn't help but step forward and ask questions.

"Yes, that's right, the Norn family has always had the title of Pioneer Knight."

"Mr. Norn," Pastor Ed stepped forward with his right hand on his chest, "will you allow the despicable to accompany you when you go to the Black Forest?" Contemptible people are willing to take the direction you are going in and your ambition as the way forward. ”

Pastor Ed's words immediately caught the attention of everyone around him.

Fang Qiuling was a little stunned.

- Could it be that his protagonist aura has finally begun to take effect? The tiger's body was shocked, Wang Baqi scattered, and the Quartet bowed his head and bowed?

Reality is reality, not fiction. Most of these people have other intentions.

"Mr. Jessils, can I find out why?" Fang Qiuling said bluntly, "The process of developing the Black Forest is long and arduous. It's not just the monsters in the Black Forest that you have to face, but also the people behind you. What are you looking for in the Black Forest? I want to know the answer. ”

What Fang Qiuling said was easy to understand. The Black Forest hides an astonishing amount of wealth, so surprising that even Elune's wealthiest merchant can be greedy. Even if they are not pioneer knights, there is never a shortage of people who wander the borders of the Black Forest every year. They pick up some of the "garbage" produced by the Black Forest on the edge of the Black Forest, and even a small "garbage" is worth a lot.

"After a life and death experience, I have opened my eyes to the power and status of the world. I hope to do something insignificant for the world in my lifetime, and I hope to eradicate the injustice in the world......"

Pastor Ed was only halfway through his sentence when Fang Qiuling raised a hand and interrupted him.

"Mr. Jessils, I understand how you feel when you die once. I'll just ask you one question, are you, trustworthy? ”

"I ......"

Pastor Ed just wanted to answer, but was stopped by Fang Qiuling again.

"Mr. Jessils, you don't need to answer me now, you should wait until I get back to tell me this answer. During this time, you should think about it first. ”

"Yes......"

Pastor Ed bowed his head.

Minutes and seconds passed. The sun also gradually rose, and the time soon reached noon.

The surroundings became more and more lively, and the kittens also came to see them off.

"It's almost time, and it's time for me to go."

Fang Qiuling got up, picked up the little rabbit with one hand, and Ma Lu with the other.

Ma Lu meowed a few times with her teeth and claws, then broke free from Fang Qiuling's hand and went straight into the pocket of her coat.

Old Tom looked around for a moment, and then said, "Won't you wait any longer?" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"She's not here yet." Old Tom pouted.

Fang Qiuling immediately rolled his eyes: "No need." It's not that he won't come back, and it's not a parting of life and death. Tell her for me, and I'll be back with a little nice gift. ”

"Cut, I won't tell you, you have to say it yourself."

Old Tom shook his head directly, indicating that he would not do it.

Fang Qiuling and Lily are very good at making trouble, and it is not good to be caught between them. Old Tom is a lot older, and he still has this vision.

"Oh well. I'll talk to her when I get back. ”

Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders and walked forward step by step.

This time, the door to the other world was opened both to return home and to experiment. The content of the experiment is the third spell model on the Enlightenment Scroll, and whether the teleportation circle formed can carry "living creatures" through it.

There are currently two living creatures that carry them with them. One is Malu in her pocket, and the other is a bunny in her hand. By the time she came to Elune from this world, Maru had successfully crossed over. However, since Malu is a demon pet and a special life connected to Fang Qiuling's spirit, it is impossible to completely judge the crossing mechanism of the Otherworldly Gate. So we need a second trial, which is this trial.

The little rabbit was caught by Lily casually, and there was no contractual relationship between it and Fang Qiuling. If it can reach the present world alive, then it is basically certain that as long as it is within the range of the Otherworldly Gate, then the crossing is safe.

The third spell model has a radius of ten meters, and ten meters is a radius or a diameter? To be honest, I don't know. To be safe, go the extra mile and put safety first.

Fang Qiuling walked to the snow alone. Looking back, the nearest fence should be twenty meters away. He nodded, snapping his fingers. The Prism of the Door then appeared in his hand.

"Thulick, have a nice trip!"

"Thank you."

Fang Qiuling held the prism of the door high and began to chant.

As he chanted, the colorful brilliance in the prism of the door turned into long rainbows and shot out from the prism. A huge magic array quickly took shape underneath his feet.

The stray manas in the space gathered on the magic circle, and the nodes on the magic circle lit up one by one, emitting a radiant light.

Fang Qiuling paid attention to the little rabbit in his hand. The little rabbit was very quiet, lying motionless on Fang Qiuling's arm.

Animals are usually more aware of their instincts than humans, especially when they perceive danger. Now it was very quiet, apparently unaware of any danger. This made Fang Qiuling slightly relieved, and he was a little more confident in the success of the experiment.

If the experiment is successful, it will be possible to safely carry the "living creatures" when teleporting the circle, whether it is to find a helper from the present world to go to Elune to help the fist, or to take Shino or Eliza to the present world on vacation.

Fang Qiuling kept an eye on the little rabbit while observing.

Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see something shooting from not far away. Looking up slightly, an orange kitten came into view.

- Gunifa? What the hell is it doing?

Just in surprise, another figure broke into view—Lily.

Lily put on the armor she got from the underground passage and walked happily. She didn't notice the gunifa behind her, who had become like a cannonball.

There was a soft "bump", and Gunifa bumped into Lily from behind.

Lily's armor immediately lit up with a cyan glow. Countless winds were produced from the armor, as if as shields, as if they were wings—the armor's self-defense mechanism was activated.

Gunifa slowed down slightly after colliding with Lily, but still following the same rules. The defense mechanism of the Armor Wind Whisper was activated, and there seemed to be a part of the activated defense type spell that reduced the weight of the flexible defense, and suddenly Lily was pushed away by Gunifa.

The figures of one person and one cat entered the magic circle of the Otherworldly Gate almost in the blink of an eye, and fell heavily in front of Fang Qiuling.

At this time, the opening of the Otherworldly Gate happened to enter the final stage.

A curtain of pure white light descended from the sky. The light curtain not only enveloped Fang Qiuling, but also Gu Nifa and Lily in front of him.

The sudden change stunned everyone. But before anyone could react, the pure white brilliance suddenly exploded. The figures in the magic array all disappeared in an instant.
