The filename is constructed from the value of the root directive and the URI. So in this case:

location /another {
    root html/test;
    index bar.html;
}

The URI /another/bar.html will be located at html/test/another/bar.html.

If you want the value of the location directive to be deleted from the URI first, use the alias directive.

location /another {
    alias html/test;
    index bar.html;
}

The URI /another/bar.html will be located at html/test/bar.html.

See this document for details.
