197 Final Trial

After receiving this reminder, Roland immediately took a look at the items that could be exchanged in the trial store.

Although there are some good things that look good, the number is very small, and the number of customs clearance certificates required for exchange is very large, at least five hundred to start.

Because the price/performance ratio is very low, Roland does not plan to stay any longer, and strives to complete the "final trial" as soon as possible.

……

The "final trial" has officially begun.

Roland, who accepted the trial, was immediately teleported to another place.

He soon discovered that the surrounding environment looked familiar.

Looking secretly at the scene on the street, Roland waited for the prompt from the trial system.

But the system prompt did not appear.

Instead, it was the whispered conversations of passers-by nearby that reached his ears.

"Why did you let people from the ground come to us? And so many came at once!"

"It is said that the rumored 'natural disaster' has appeared."

"Natural disaster?! Could it be the monsters that destroyed the previous civilization? Haven't they been wiped out?"

"This time it seems to be different from the past."

"Those guys on the ground have always looked down on us before, and now they came to us to escape, and they still have that arrogant attitude. I really want to drive them outside."

……

While these passers-by were talking in low voices, they still looked at the group of people not far away from time to time.

They stood on the side of the road, while another group of people passed the street in groups, carrying large and small bags, as if they were moving house.

Seeing this scene, Roland finally confirmed what his sense of familiarity was all about.

This place is Hakoniwa.

To be precise, it was Hakoniwa in the past.

Judging from the low-pitched conversations of passers-by, this time point happened to be in the early days of the "fog", and some people who originally lived on the ground were transferred to the underground world under the instructions of the gods.

And people living in the underground world seem to be a little unwelcome to these outsiders.

But because it was all arranged by the gods, they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction directly, so they could only discuss these things in secret.

(The location of the "final trial" is actually in the "past"? But I should not have traveled to that time, and this place looks like a real phantom of the past. So what is the purpose of this "final trial"? What do you want me to achieve? Does the target count as having passed the test?)
There is no prompt, so Roland doesn't know what to do.

And the consecutive cards he had used before had no follow-up card effects at this time.

Since he didn't know what the target was, Roland had no choice but to observe the situation first, and he might get information about the past here.

but……

Roland suddenly remembered another thing.

Also participating in this trial are those powerful characters in Little Garden, among whom there may be people who have personally experienced this transfer event.

(If those people also come to the "final trial" now, will they encounter the same situation as me? Will they be in this trial space with me?)
If he wanted to find out what happened in the past and the purpose of this trial, Roland now thought of a good way.

That is to go directly to find the gods here.

If there is no accident, this "final trial" should be set up by the god in charge of Hakoniwa.

If you find this god and directly reveal your origin and purpose, you may be able to gain something.

But if this god has ulterior motives and some ulterior purpose, Roland's actions may alarm the other party and cause trouble.

Thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this is relatively low.

……

After determining this goal, the next step is to inquire about the news about this god.

At this time, Roland can actually use the card drawing system to solve this problem, but he only has two card draws left today, and he still needs to deal with the troubles he may encounter in the future.

Roland looked around and found a tavern. He touched his pocket and found that he had some Hakoniwa currency, and then he came to that tavern.

A lot of people gathered in the tavern, some of them were sitting by the window, drinking and chatting while watching the situation on the street outside the window.

Roland looked around and saw a person sitting alone on the seat drinking, and that person was also watching the situation outside from time to time.

The people in Hakoniwa seem to be very concerned about those outsiders.

Roland went to the bar and ordered a bottle of expensive wine, then sat down on the seat opposite the man.

This is a demon with dark skin and two horns on his forehead. Seeing Roland sitting opposite him, he frowned and said, "Isn't there still room over there?"

Roland smiled and replied: "It's so boring to drink alone. My name is Roland and I want to make friends with you."

With that said, he also put the unopened bottle of wine on the table between the two of them.

"Human beings like you are very rare in our Little Garden. You came from the ground, right?"

"That's too much to talk about, let's talk about other things."

"Hmph, I see, what information do you want to get from me?"

Now that the other party saw through his thoughts, Roland did not hide anything, and told the truth, "Hey? You saw through, there is no way, I really want to ask you something."

Roland's confession made the other party feel better, "If you can pay enough, I don't mind telling you what I know."

"Really? I want to know where the spirit of Hakoniwa is now."

"Pfft..." The guy who was drinking immediately burst out when he heard Roland's question, "Ahem...why do you want to know about this?"

"Of course it's because I have something to ask the gods of Little Garden." Roland replied.

"Where did you come from? This news should be known to everyone, even people who come from the ground should know about it."

"Really? Actually, I'm a country bumpkin, so I really don't know anything about it."

He looked at Roland with some doubts, and he obviously didn't believe this statement, but he still grabbed the bottle of wine that Roland put on the table and said, "This bottle belongs to me, and then I will tell you You all know the news."

"no problem."

"Our god is not in Little Garden now, he went to the ground to deal with the 'natural disaster' with other gods."

"Where is it on the ground?"

"I don't know. If you want to find the gods, you can find them on the ground." After he finished speaking, he took the bottle of wine, poured himself a glass and drank it impatiently.

Roland was a little dissatisfied with this answer, so he continued to ask: "Does the 'natural disaster' you mean 'fog'?"

"What is the mist? Natural disasters are natural disasters, you don't even know this? Haha, you are not sent by 'natural disasters', right?"

"How is it possible. If I want to go to the ground now, where should I go?"

"Because of the natural disasters, many passages on the ground and in the underground world have been blocked. Now basically you can only come down from above, and you are not allowed to go out from here."
