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

To Lu Yuan, those words were like swimming tadpoles, seemingly unwilling to accept his reading.

Blanca seemed to notice Lu Yuan's unusual behavior, and she also looked up at the huge stone tablet.

Clearly, she didn't see anything.

"What are you looking at, Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan was startled by the sound, then came to his senses.

Blanca's expression remained normal; she didn't notice anything unusual.

"I wasn't looking at anything, I was just a little curious about these inscriptions," Lu Yuan said.

"Look at the inscriptions on that stone tablet; they're clearly not just randomly carved. There's a certain pattern between the characters, so it must be some kind of language. I guess we'll only be able to understand these inscriptions after we enter the Knight Academy."

Eli joined them at that moment.

"Yes, Lu Yuan, you're right, it is indeed a language. But it seems to resist the perspective of outsiders. Strangely, it's like it's alive."

"You can tell?" Lu Yuan asked, looking at Eli in front of him.

"No, but I can sense it. It's probably related to my method."

At that moment, the line in front suddenly stopped.

Lu Yuan also straightened up and looked ahead.

The Blue Knight, the Silent Knight, and the others turned around to face the crowd.

"Before we begin, let me say this," the Blue Knight added, "There are four statues in this Knights' Hall that were brought from the main courtyard."

"Next, let's talk about our rules."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Those whose names I call, enter the main hall. Only one person is allowed in at a time."

"Inside the main hall, there are people specifically responsible for recording and waiting. Once you enter, you don't need to worry about them. Just follow the rules to take the test, and then come out."

"After entering, walk to the middle of the main hall, stand in the center of the magic circle, look up, stare at the words on the ceiling, and read them aloud."

"After you recite it, the knight statues in the hall will react to you. If any one of the four statues stays lit for one minute, you will have succeeded."

"Once you successfully light it up, proceed to the next step." The Blue Knight paused. "For those who haven't lit it up, the academy will give you time to pack up and then send you away."

A slight commotion arose in the crowd, but it was quickly suppressed.

"The test results will only be known to the senior instructors within the academy," the Blue Knight continued. "Whether you activate it or not, and for how long, will all be strictly recorded here. There will be no leaks, so don't worry."

Blue Knight did not explain why the duration was hidden.

"That's it." The Blue Knight produced a roster. "Quiet. Begin roll call."

Harvey.

A tall, thin young man stepped out from the crowd.

Lu Yuan had never heard of this name before.

Clearly, he wasn't one of the Night's Watch; he must have been a promising young knight brought from various places.

Harvey walked into the hall, and the doors closed behind him.

Those outside could only wait. They couldn't see what was happening inside the hall from outside.

This towering building, surprisingly, did not have stained glass windows on its sides.

Based on its lighting, it probably relies on the glass on top, or rather, the light source inside.

However, it's unimaginable how many light sources must be inside such a huge hall.

"Have we already started waiting?" Oden's voice suddenly popped into my head. "This is the Knight Academy branch?"

"Yes. You woke up at just the right time. Any later and I probably would have already gone inside," Lu Yuan replied in his mind. "The test will be conducted right here."

"Are you nervous?" Oden asked.

"good."

"Hmph, a bit stubborn," Oden muttered. "I'm, after all, a guest in your body, so I can sense your emotions to some extent."

"However, don't overthink it. Remember what I said." Auden's tone became slightly more serious. "It doesn't really matter which one you light up. After all, there are so many people in the Knight Academy, and they've lit up so many times without any problems, haven't they?"

"The most crucial point is that forbidden things aren't something you can just see whenever you want. What I told you back then was just speculation. Speculation that this academy is the successor to the Four Knights. But so what? Even if it were the real Four Knights, so what? Those four knights are all dead, aren't they?"

"Besides, think about it, the Knight Academy has stood strong for so many years without any of them coming to us. So, you don't need to worry."

Lu Yuan knew that Auden was trying to comfort himself.

At the same time, they knew that what Oden said was actually the truth.

Whether or not the Four Horsemen were the predecessor of the Knights Academy is not important.

Because the name Four Horsemen has disappeared.

Yet the Knight Academy has endured for such a long time.

This means that, regardless of whether the Knight Academy is related to that taboo, at least for now, there shouldn't be any major problems.

At least in terms of safety, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Otherwise, things would have turned upside down long ago.

What I'm really worried about is that I might find the Knight Academy entry as soon as I enter. That would be truly terrible.

This is exactly what Lu Yuan is nervous about.

"I'm not nervous," Lu Yuan replied to Auden.

"Alright, then you can wait a bit. I also want to see how the Knight Academy's tests are conducted."

Just then, the gray-white text at the edge of my field of vision jumped.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred.

call?

He remained calm and kept his doubts to himself.

Not long after, Harvey came out.

His face was a little tense, and he didn't say anything before returning to the crowd.

Dean Rosenthal.

When Dean went in, he still had that easygoing smile on his face.

He then strode forward, and with the opening and closing of the palace doors, Dean disappeared into the hall.

After a while, gray and white characters suddenly flickered at the edge of Lu Yuan's vision.

[Environmental perception: A faint call has been detected...]

This is the second time.

Lu Yuan's doubts were now more or less resolved.

Like Harvey, Dean took about six or seven minutes to go from entering to exiting.

Clearly, the Knight Academy has taken this into consideration: regardless of success or failure, you will be allowed to stay there a little longer.

This prevents others from figuring out whether you have lit up the statue and for how long.

Dean still had that same smiling face.

He nodded to Lu Yuan and the others, then returned to the side of the group.

Cecil.

Another name I've never heard of.

He went in and came out. When he came out, the young man's face didn't look too good.

The text was gray and white, and there was no movement.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes.

Harvey and Dean both called out. Cecil, this time, didn't.

His guess became even more plausible.
