I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Early on the morning of the third day, Lu Yuan walked out of the Night Watch branch.

He carried a small package with him, containing all his personal belongings.

As for the rest, they were already waiting for him at the Knights' Academy.

The sky cleared after the snow.

The snow on the street was shoveled to both sides, forming low walls.

The snow on the roof hadn't melted yet, and the sunlight streaming down was so bright it hurt my eyes.

Lu Yuan subconsciously pulled his collar up a little, and his clothes moved just right as he pleased.

The Knight Academy's branch campus is located on the other side of Snowow City.

He followed the route he had found out the day before: the third road led to the Night's Watch division.

The seventh road across the street leads to the branch campus a little further ahead.

All Lu Yuan had to do was leave.

As you move forward along the edge of the inner city, this area becomes increasingly remote.

The clanging sounds of the blacksmith's shop faded behind us, and fewer and fewer pedestrians appeared on the street.

We've reached what looks like a warehouse area.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was still somewhat nervous.

The tense part wasn't about not being able to get into the Knight Academy, but about the statue.

If only one statue is activated, that's fine.

What if there are too many? If gray text suddenly appears at that time, it would mean that the Knight Academy branch is also related to taboos.

When that time comes, should I run or not?

Lu Yuan thought to himself, but his legs were not slow at all.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan finally saw a flag.

A tall pole stood at the street corner, with a coat of arms hanging from it, its surface stretched taut by the winds of the North.

Beneath the flag was a building quite different from the rest of the city's architecture.

The houses in Snow Owl City are all built of dark blue stones, with pointed roofs that overlap along the mountainside.

The hall in front of us is light-colored, with a stone base and a wooden structure, and the roof slope is much gentler.

It occupies a large area, but it's not luxurious at all; instead, it has a temporary camp atmosphere.

But it stands amidst a city of dark blue stones, making it easily recognizable.

There were many horse-drawn carriages parked at the entrance.

Each carriage was adorned with the same emblem—the emblem of the Knights Academy—which was very conspicuous.

The horses pulling the cart were also quite special.

Its whole body was covered with thick fur, even its hooves were wrapped in a small circle, and its four legs were thick and sturdy. Standing in the snow, white breath spewed out from its nostrils.

The warhorses of the North are naturally suited to hauling goods across the snow.

We've arrived at the Knight Academy's branch in Snowow City.

The Blue Knight was at the door.

She was directing several men to load things onto the truck, a list in her hand.

She was still wearing that light blue long coat, and her waist-length short cape was swaying in the wind.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he raised his hand in greeting.

"You're here?"

"You're here." Lu Yuan walked over. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need, just the finishing touches." The Blue Knight closed the list. "Your carriage is over there."

She pointed to a carriage in the middle of the convoy. That carriage was larger than the others, square in shape, and was the kind used for hauling cargo.

Lu Yuan walked over and lifted the tarpaulin in the back compartment to take a look.

The wooden crates were stacked neatly. All the materials he had bought were packed inside.

The sealed box contained the skin of a firefly, with several pieces of firestone leaning against it.

The sample Norbert gave, which showed the effects of the worm skin, was indeed much dimmer and smaller than the two samples Lu Yuan bought himself.

"Your goods are all inside. We moved them for you yesterday, and nothing is missing," the Blue Knight said. "We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Lu Yuan smiled at the Blue Knight.

Then he looked at the rows of container cars and then at the steps.

Everyone else was carrying small bags and packs; clearly, a single bag represented all of a person's possessions.

His carriage was indeed quite conspicuous.

Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if I didn't pass the exam? And then I'd have to drag this whole train carriage back with me.

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

"There's an empty room in the branch campus; you can stay there for the night," the Blue Knight added. "You can get to know the people inside. They'll likely become your classmates later."

"Okay," Lu Yuan replied.

Following the direction indicated by the Blue Knight, Lu Yuan entered the hall.

There were a few people in the hall, scattered in twos and threes. Some were warming themselves by the fireplace, while others sat by the window talking. They all looked very young.

A boy sitting in the corner caught Lu Yuan's attention.

He was taciturn and looked to be about the same age as Lu Yuan.

He was holding a book in his arms, engrossed in reading. Lu Yuan walked in from the doorway, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.

On the book's cover was a script that Lu Yuan did not recognize.

What attracted Lu Yuan was the badge on his chest.

That's the Night's Watch emblem.

Clearly, this person is one of our own.

Lu Yuan walked over.

"Hello." He stopped next to the boy. "My name is Lu Yuan, a Night Watchman, and I'm also here to participate in this selection."

The boy looked up, glanced at the badge on Lu Yuan's chest, then looked at Lu Yuan's face, and paused in surprise.

"My name is Eli."

Eli?

Lu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

It was clearly the genius captain from the branch that Norbert had mentioned. Unexpectedly, it was the boy holding the book in front of me.

"I know you." Eli smiled, stood up, and shook hands with Lu Yuan. "I used the one the Night's Watch promised. Our branch also has your portrait."

Lu Yuan smiled as well.

It seems my face is quite famous in the Night Watch system.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the book in his arms.

The gray-white text at the edge of my field of vision that I just glimpsed had already given me a hint.

[Detection Target: Quraysh Language Books]

[Book Title: The Book of Light]

Lu Yuan didn't recognize the words on the cover. However, after the gray and white text was translated, he could still understand it.

Just then, as Lu Yuan was about to glance at the text of the book, a long string of gray and white text suddenly popped up in front of him.
