My Cell Prison
Chapter 44: A Cabin in the Forest

At the highest point of the forest, over the top of the clouds, there is a special hemispherical room.

It even feels like the clouds are holding this special room, except for a giant astronomical telescope made of pure copper, the room is made of a special silica stone that can reflect all kinds of light.

Name: [Stargazing Room]

In the room, there were two people...again, it seemed like one person.

"It seems nice to have a new student here..."

"How can you tell?"

"The body is weak... weaker than all previous students, and to be able to pass the fate event with such a body, there is naturally something unusual about it."

"Come to think of it, he should be called [Nicholas Valen] ....is that him? Trainee knights who passed the four-star event."

"Four-star, it's been a long time since I've seen a four-star freshman, do you want to make the test more difficult?"

’’　"No good... raising the 'randomness' and 'variables' is the only way to better examine a freshman's overall quality, not just raising the difficulty.

Also, the way he clears the four-star event isn't necessarily a strong take."

"From what you're saying, should that test be placed in the [Dark Moon Forest] or right inside the tower?"

"The former bar, there are more variables."

"In which way?"

"Let him choose for himself... Besides, one more variable needs to be added."

"Oh? Don't you call that increased difficulty?"

"The variables aren't dangerous, they're simply variables, and they're important to his future development... If this young man can see the variables we've set up, he can pay special attention."

"That's a bit out of your methodology...raven."

　..........

Ga~ga!

There were even more crows than Han Dong had imagined.

The carriage ran along the winding road, and along the way, there were crows standing on the branches of every tree branch that Han Dong saw.

The regular cawing of crows seemed to be transmitting some kind of signal.

Suddenly, the carriage that was galloping the entire way came to a sudden stop... it was currently not out of the forest area yet.

"No road?"

The forest avenue that was supposed to lead directly to the Mysticism Building was cut off midway, blocked by a group of trees in front of it.

Han Dong could only get out of the carriage, and at the end of the road, he found a 'pointing sign' with some weirdly large words written on it - [Dark Moon Forest Exit Direction] with a directional arrow.

"It seems that you need to walk through the forest in order to reach the construction area of the Department of Mysteries and complete the registration of new students... Fortunately, I was prepared."

Han Dong had always found 'fire' to be useful.

At least in the novice event, as well as the previous ghoul incident, torches were used for illumination... Thus, Han Dong lit a torch he had prepared in advance in his backpack and carefully delved into this bizarre [Dark Moon Forest].

Walking through this kind of dark and dense forest with tall, dead trees growing in it, it was easy to lose one's 'sense of direction' and deviate from the straight path.

However, Han Dong's situation was different, he was clearly able to realize what a straight line was, and even if the walking route deviated from a straight line due to his physical problems, he would immediately correct it back.

It could be assumed that Han Dong himself had a strong sense of direction, or it could be the effect of the "Faceless Head".

The walk lasted about half an hour.

Through the failing of leave in the dead woods, he found a fine cabin with firelight spilling out of it....

Since being reborn into this world, Han Dong had already seen too many new and strange things.

"Maybe this small wooden hut of less than a hundred square meters is the main building of the mysticism department... Let me go and take a look."

Han Dong cautiously leaned forward and circled around the cabin, discovering that the cabin had a no window design... and the firelight he had seen earlier was only spilling out of the crack in the front door.

Knock knock~.

There was no response to the knock on the door.

Han Dong slowly pushed open the wooden door.

There was no other worldliness that he imagined; it was just an ordinary wooden hut.

Don't you call that increased difficulty?"

"The variables aren't dangerous, they're simply variables, and they're important to his future development... If this young man can see the variables we've set up, he can pay special attention."

"That's a bit out of your league...raven."

"Destiny so."

The forest avenue that was supposed to lead directly to the Occult Building was cut off midway, blocked by a group of trees in front of it.

Knock knock~.

There was no response to the knock on the door.

When Han Dong slowly pushed open the wooden door.

There was no other-worldliness that he had imagined, it was just an ordinary wooden hut.

However, there were many exquisite and strange props placed inside the wooden house, giving the illusion of entering a medieval antique shop.

A letter from an unknown source landed right in front of Han Dong.

''Please choose any complete prop inside the cabin (even the door you can take down and take away!)'' (It has to be complete, though.)

Walk out of the Dark Moon Forest and give the props to the Department Management Office

"Your performance will determine your overall rating by the Department of Mysticism."

"Another test, and it's just for entry... It's really strict.

First there was the Destiny event, then the interview, and the secret background check. And then now, before heading to the building where you'll be registering for your major profession, do you still need the relevant tests?"

Han Dong had thought that after he arrived inside the Mystery Department building, they would test his expertise in the direction he was heading through some basic testing equipment in order to plan his future studies.

It was unexpected that it would be done in such a bizarre manner.

"The quality of the test will be related to the subsequent studies in the Knight Academy in the future, so cheer up."

After these few days of stress-free rest, Han Dong's condition had never been better...not to mention picking up a ghoul arm.

Raising his spirits, he quickly examined the multiple props in the cabin.

The 'Green Crystal Craft (Frog-like)' placed in the jewelry box

The "Box of Mourning" enclosed in a glass case.

A "gas mask" with a steamy feel.

"Stitched Pig Mask" hanging on the wall.

The "white threads of silk" scattered on the ground.

..........

"Not to mention that some of the debris in the room can be taken away as well.

The special item alone has twelve options, once I make my choice! The next method of testing will also be set, and the level of difficulty may vary.

Choose this one..."

Han Dong stared at the "Box of Mourning" in the glass-sealed coffin as he prepared to choose this item that seemed to have come from hell.

Crunch~ (Wooden board rattling)

The sound made by stepping on a particular board as a result of a foot step... This detail immediately caught Han Dong's attention.

The sound made by this plank being squeezed was different from the others.

"So, it is... a secret compartment?"

He easily removed the strange wooden block from beneath his feet.

Corresponding to a hidden secret compartment at the lower end of the ground, a small rusty iron box was stored within it.

After examining the 'items' stored inside the iron box, Han Dong was somewhat moved.

After several minutes of consideration.

Han Dong selected the iron box and turned around to leave the cabin.

"There's someone here!"

The first moment of stepping out of the cabin, the sound of tiny footsteps came from the woods.

For a moment, Han Dong's eyes changed and went into alert... A green plague line flowed over the surface of his right arm.

Who knew that what ran out of the woods was actually a black-haired girl with a dirty body.

Judging from her skin color and facial features, she should be from the Middle Eastern side, and she was wearing three golden nose rings on her nose.

In the girl's hand was dragging the golden card that symbolized the trainee knight.

She asked with half-lidded eyes, slightly wary, "You... you're a trainee knight?"

"Yes."

"Great! ...I was lost in the Dark Moon Forest for days, but I was finally able to find my way out."
