The closer the trial starts, the more Lu Yu can feel the great attraction of the puppet country of Selkallo. Participants from different countries and races flocked into Gegrand, a city-state that can only be regarded as a second-tier city.

Participants with different accents can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. The pubs and dolls area often give Lu Yu a sense of déjà vu when he is running for popular attractions during holidays.

Celcarlo has a bad relationship with neighboring countries, one of the reasons is their strong attraction to talents and their increasingly obvious national influence as the number of transformers increases.

The trial once every five years can be called a ladder to the sky. In the past six trials, 40% of those who advanced from foreign countries accounted for. Many of them abandoned their original identities and became transformers and then ascended to heaven. No one can resist the temptation of being transformed by the Supreme Puppet Master himself or being blessed.

Compared with the past thirty years, the minimum registration requirement for this competition is the highest fifth level in previous sessions. Warriors must pass the intensity test alone to meet the standards before they can participate. The existence of this threshold has successfully screened out most people.

On the last night before the competition, Lu Yu and Helola were exceptions compared to those who were so nervous that they couldn't sleep. They were still enjoying delicious food and drinking fruit wine in the tavern.

During this period of time, the Coal Ball trio has a good impression of this piggy bank. Sera even takes her as a pet. Whenever she wanders around, she always encourages Lu Yu to go to the stalls where snacks are everywhere, and then deliberately pretends to think about problems. Seeing Herola fight against the devil in her heart while guarding her wallet, and finally paying a gift out of her own pocket... This process is very like feeding.

"Have the weapons been maintained?" Lu Yu asked.

Herola took out the longbow wrapped in the cloth, and Lu Yu's gaze was instantly attracted by a cluster of arrows that appeared together.

Herola hurriedly covered her. She hurriedly looked around and found that there were only three or two people chatting in the deserted tavern. No one looked at her at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yu exclaimed: "Forbidden Demon Arrow Cluster, your piggy bank actually exploded gold coins."

"The trial will start tomorrow. I am not a transformer. The only thing I can rely on is my own strength and weapons. Of course, I have to spend it on it."

"Why don't you also enchant some armor?"

"Enchanted items are likely to expose my whereabouts. If I need to take the initiative, this will only drag me down."

A round gray-brown bead rolled in front of Lu Yu, making a crisp sound when it came into contact with the dining plate.

"This is?"

A small sound insulation array was arranged casually, and Herola said: "It's where the money I saved is located."

Lu Yu stared at this unlucky piggy bank in confusion, wondering why she did this.

"Although you can exit at any time during the trial, according to the rules, after announcing your exit, you must go to the nearest puppet guard to be completely counted as leaving the battle. Unless you get special props in the trial location, even if you want to escape from the battle and others insist on chasing you, you will still be unable to escape death."

"In the past years, there have been assassins in the trial that do not aim at the main purpose of promotion, but help others to block competitors in the trial field. It is hard to guarantee that such a guy will not target me this year, or that I am unlucky and have encountered an unexpected situation before I do anything..."

Herola sighed: "I am the most unlucky person. I have never dealt with 'good luck' since I was a child. The trial has a certain amount of luck, so let's arrange it in advance."

"If I encounter an accident, open the beads and the money will belong to you."

"Why me?"

"I have no friends, no relatives, and I am alone. Even if I die, no one will be sad for me. But even a guy like me wants to leave something in this world. If one day you spend money, I think of 'Ao, it seems like there is a piggy bank that has never been able to give me all the gold coins that I have saved for a long time'..." Herola smiled, "Look, will no one remember me in this way?"

"Where are your companions?"

"Stop coming, everyone gathers together for the sake of rewards. If I die, they will probably only be symbolically sad for a while. Spending all the money for them may only sigh, 'That fool elf actually hides so much money, is so stingy'."

“Will I not be that?”

Herola shook her head: "You are different. To be proud, I have been alone as a mercenary for so long, and I have better abilities than many people. You are willing to take the initiative to compensate Kno and Selisa for their losses, and it is because they have offended you, such actions are rare."

"After getting along during this period, I always feel that you are like a fog. Some of the words you said inadvertently and the insights related to knowledge are far beyond my imagination. It is a realm that I cannot reach... I don't know where you came from and why you want to see the relics of the 'Healer', but I always feel that you may be the one I can only look up to. If it weren't for the accident that happened in the woods that day, we would never have intersection."

"I didn't expect you to be a pessimist. Shouldn't pessimist enjoy it in time? What are you saving money for?"

"If I am lucky enough to pass the trial of Gegrand City, I will tell you. If I am in trouble again, you hold the address and the answer is in my treasure pile."

Herola smiled brightly, then stopped talking and feasted at the food on the table.

At dawn, teams of dolls on the streets of Gegeland City were walking in uniform steps and heading out of the city. Also walking with them were puppet masters wearing blue-purple robes and embroidered with the arms of two dolls.

The trial location was announced loudly by the patrol puppet master. It was a forest located on the southwest side of Gegeland. You can see endless burning sand after crossing the continuous mountains.

When he arrived near the trial site, Lu Yu had already seen the uneven contestants scattered around the trial site still shrouded in the barrier. Several huge dolls squids were floating in the sky, and their prominent eyes were coldly scanning the people like ants below.

With the sound of many referees from the puppet masters' association conveyed by the doll squid, "After the hourglass leaks, the trial venue will be blocked again, and now... officially entered the venue!"

The moment the barrier disappeared, it was like locusts passing by. Swarms of contestants subconsciously accelerated, and they fought and rushed into the vast mountains.

Lu Yu and Helola walked together, and she was still performing her guiding duties: "It's not right, this time I didn't announce the theme before entering the venue."

There were many people who found problems with Herola. Instead of rushing to take the lead, they watched the hourglass projection cast from the eyes of the squid, slowly stuck to the line and entered the trial field, leaning against the slow barrier, and watching the contestants who were in the same area as them vigilantly.

There is no theme, so no one acts rashly, for fear of a strange calm in the trial site.

Lu Yu observed the area that was chosen as the trial site and found that almost all the monsters that were active here were dolls. The jellyfish and goshawks floating in the sky seemed to be the eyes of the puppet masters, observing this blocked area.

"Conservatively estimated that there are 5,000 people in the Gegran Trial Field." With years of hard work, Herola was observing and sorting out the information he had just witnessed.

Lu Yu was not interested in the number of participants, and he did not think anyone could affect his promotion unless Sarah and Calden were resurrected.

"The contestants listen quietly."

"The contestants listen quietly."

"The theme of the 7th Streaming Trial was announced."

"The theme of the 7th Streaming Trial was announced."

Through the ubiquitous doll, the puppet referee announced loudly.

"The theme of this streaming trial is the 'Talk of Destiny'."

The theme that has never appeared before made every participant raise his head in confusion, and the same confused eyes also appeared on the faces of participants in other areas.

"The fate that no one knows will dominate this trial, your way forward is a fog. Now, the turntable is turning, today's project is..."

Lu Yu guessed something, and he and Herola looked at each other.

"The turntable has stopped, item: Enemy of the Forest."

"The doll has been in place, and it is ready for violence."

"Participants who fail to enter the sheltered area of ​​the 'Doll Messenger' will be eliminated before dawn tomorrow."

The referee of the puppet master was announced, and chilling whistles sounded from the crowd, one after another.

Combined with the "enemy of the forest" mentioned in the announcement, Lu Yu speculated: "It should be a beast tide."

"Why aren't the group of people rushing in front..."

"They should be racing against time. It's better to pray that they don't bump into the doll that is awakening, otherwise..." Lu Yu shook his head.

I originally thought I could have an advantage in rushing to start, but now it seems that I may die.
