"Kate, haven't we arrived yet?"
In a primeval forest, the faint light created by the luminous mushrooms is illuminating the surroundings, lighting the road ahead.
On the road, several men in linen robes were walking. One of them, a blond young man, asked another one.
"According to the terrain marked on the map, we are almost there now, but we haven't found the entrance yet."
Next to the blond man, a young man named Kait was wearing a black linen robe and holding a map in his hand. He was carefully studying the terrain. At this time, he turned around and looked at the man who asked the question and said.
"Well, that should be correct."
Next to Keg, the blond young man who had spoken earlier nodded and said, "According to the records of the tribe, the Moonlight Garden can only be opened when the light of the luminous mushrooms covers the entire forest and is about to disappear. Although we have found the specific location now, it should be some time before it can be opened."
"At least we have to wait until the faint light in the forest disappears."
He pointed to a patch of luminous mushrooms beside him that were emitting a faint glow, and spoke to his companions.
"who!"
Suddenly, he let out a loud shout, drew out the long sword at his waist immediately, and looked in a certain direction ahead.
In that direction, there was a faint sound of grass and trees trembling gently, and then a voice came from that side.
"Chesim, your senses are still so sharp..."
As the sound came, several figures walked out from the other side.
They were several tall men, also wearing black linen robes, but with swords on their waists, they looked inconspicuous.
The one walking in front was a strong middle-aged man with thick hair and muscular body, who looked very burly. At this moment, his face was expressionless as he was looking at the people in front.
"Sha Luo, you're following us!"
Looking at the burly man leading the way, the blond man named Chesim gritted his teeth and looked at the other party with some unfriendly eyes.
"Following? We came here openly from the other side."
Under Chesim's gaze, the burly man opposite sneered, "It's just a map of Moonlight Garden, not a rare thing. Do you think you are the only ones who have it?"
"Okay...just say less." Another voice came from the side.
In the corner, a young man in a white robe walked out quietly with two followers. He looked at the two people in front and said, "The legend of Moonlight Garden is not known by only one family. Every time the result is reached, many people come here. There is nothing strange about it."
"Just wait quietly for the garden to open. Once you enter, whether you can obtain the Moonlight Fruit depends on your ability."
As he spoke, the young man in white robe walked aside with his followers.
At the same place, the other two groups looked at each other for a moment, then walked away and said nothing more.
About three or four hours later, the faint light emitted by the luminous mushrooms in the forest began to weaken.
"It's out!"
At this point, everyone present couldn't help but shout in surprise.
In front of them, a dilapidated iron gate appeared quietly. It seemed to have experienced the baptism of time and was covered with deep rust.
"The passage just appeared. We can't go in right away. We have to wait a little longer."
Looking at the gate that appeared in front of him, Chesim stood there and whispered to himself with a little fire in his eyes: "Knight..."
Standing there and looking at the gate in the distance, they waited for half an hour before trying to go in.
Walking on the road, the three groups sent out a total of three people as the first group of tryers, and they were the first to go in.
"No problem!"
After they walked in safely, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to speak to the people behind them.
Seeing this scene, the people behind him stopped hesitating and strode in.
After they left, in the corner behind, a burst of shadow particles gently spread out, and then a figure walked out.
He was a handsome young man in a black robe. He looked up at the gate in front of him quietly, appearing calm and composed.
"This unique and mysterious fluctuation is related to wizards..."
Standing there and looking at the door that appeared in front of him, Athir was a little surprised.
After a while, when the surrounding light completely disappeared, he also walked into the gate, ready to go in and try to explore.
As he walked in, rich energy particles suddenly surged around him, allowing Athir to feel it clearly.
In front of me is a large garden. In the distance, a very tall tree stands in front. It looks to be at least ten meters tall and is very eye-catching in this small area.
And all around were patches of flowers and plants, most of which looked very bright, as if they had just bloomed, and were extremely beautiful.
However, Athir could sense a unique scent on these flowers.
Many of them are materials used by wizards. Although most of them are common, there are also a few precious and rare materials.
Looking around, they are almost everywhere. If they can all be taken out, they will probably be worth a lot of magic stones.
But Athir didn't feel anything about it.
Strictly speaking, he was not short of magic stones. The wealth accumulated by mastering the resources of a world, even if he only stayed there for a few years, was astonishing. If he used it to exchange for ordinary magic stones, the amount would definitely be a terrifying number.
Walking quietly through the garden, I heard a collision sound in front of me.
In front, the few people who had walked in first were standing in front, with several corpses piled under their feet.
Opposite them, a group of monsters with three arms, fish heads and human bodies kept walking out of the pond nearby and were fighting with the knight apprentices.
The battle was very intense. Generally speaking, the strength of both sides was actually similar, but those fish-headed monsters were too difficult to kill, so they had a slight advantage and put the group of knight apprentices at a disadvantage.
Shaking his head slightly, Athir had no intention of intervening in the fight between the apprentices and the monsters. He simply flashed to the front, relying on the cover of magic.
His entire body was shrouded in shadow particles, and the distorted force field on the surface of his body was fully opened at this moment, concealing all the aura on his body in order to deceive something lurking in the garden and sneak around to the tall ancient tree in front.
Only at this time did Atier see the appearance of the ancient tree clearly.
The ancient tree is about ten meters tall and exudes a metallic luster, like an iron tree.
On the branches of the ancient tree, more than a dozen fruits were hanging, but only three of them were emitting a faint light.
"According to what those people said before, only the fruit that emits a faint glow is the edible moonlight fruit. As for the other fruits, since they are not yet ripe, eating them will immediately cause poisoning."
Thinking about what those people had said before, Athir looked up, stretched out his arm gently, and the spell of Mana Beam was immediately activated.
On the iron tree, the two fruits began to sway slightly, and under the influence of an unknown force field, they began to automatically fly towards the direction where Athir was.
Only one of the two fruits was ripe, emitting a faint glow in the dark night. The other one was the color of black iron and looked like an iron ball. It was completely inedible.
Looking at the two fruits in his hand, Atier had an interested expression on his face and started a preliminary test directly with the chip.
The results of the test disappointed Athir.
This moonlight can indeed improve people's physical constitution, but the effect is not as good as rumored. Not to mention making an ordinary person a knight, even making a knight apprentice a knight is difficult. It can only have a slight improvement effect.
The greatest function of this Moonlight Fruit is to give it to those preparatory knights who are about to activate their seeds of life, so as to achieve the effect of activating the seeds of life.
According to the rough detection of the chip, Atier discovered that this moonlight fruit contains a special active substance. Although it is very effective in improving physical fitness, it has a very good effect on activating the seed of life.
If a prospective knight who is about to be promoted to the seed of life takes this fruit, he can indeed be promoted smoothly without too many twists and turns in the middle.
"I guess this is the origin of the rumors outside. The real effect is like this."
Looking at the two fruits in his hand and after thinking for a while, Athir put them away and walked to the other side of the garden.
In the direction where Athir was heading, a crow was lying quietly on a tree, looking at Athir with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Without stopping along the way, Athir walked to another garden and then stopped.
Unlike the previous place, the residual force field here is the strongest in the entire garden, and even now it has not completely dissipated.
There were several corpses that had turned into skeletons on the ground, still wrapped in the clothes they wore when they were alive.
After searching through the things left behind by the deceased, Athir walked aside and began to check.
"They are basically things used by wizards... and judging by the situation, even the oldest one is only about thirty or forty years old."
After casually flipping through the things he had found, Athir also found a blueprint for refining a magic item.
This is a magic item called the Defense Stone. From the registration point of view, it is already a medium-level magic item. And because it is a magic item of defensive nature, its price can completely match some high-level magic items. Even for a formal wizard now, it is a good harvest.

PS: I recommend a pretty good apocalypse book, "The Apocalypse: Pets Are King". It tells the story of bringing a magical animal training system with you into the apocalypse. There are animals from Western mythology and Shan Hai Jing. In short, this is a book where you start with one person and one dog, and all the equipment is obtained by the pet.
