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

"Blanca Solheim".

Blanca stood up, tied her hair back up, and went inside without saying a word.

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

the third time.

Two more people went in after that, but nothing happened.

When they came out, one was pale-faced and the other had red eyes; the air in the crowd seemed to thicken.

Eli.

Eli went inside carrying the books.

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

the fourth time.

Harvey, Dean, Blanca, Eli.

The timing is right.

"Blanca Solheim".

Blanca stood up, tied her hair back up, and went inside without saying a word.

Two more people went in after that.

One of them was named Leon.

When the other one came out, he was clearly also somewhat disappointed.

Eli.

Eli went inside carrying the books.

When he came out, he was still the same as before, holding a book in his arms, with no expression.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes.

By this point, the faint call had been made five times.

He already knew in his heart which one corresponded to which person.

And so it went until the tenth person.

"Lu Yuan".

The Blue Knight finally called his name.

The Blue Knight nodded slightly to Lu Yuan, signaling him not to be nervous.

He then pointed to the main hall.

"Go," said the Blue Knight.

Lu Yuan nodded and strode forward.

Oden also popped up at this moment.

"Remember, make sure you look carefully to see which statues are connected to you."

Lu Yuan arrived in front of the main hall and walked towards the door.

The palace doors closed behind us, and the outside world suddenly fell silent.

The main hall was eerily empty.

The top of the head is so high that you can hardly see the top.

There were no windows in the four walls; the light came down from the sloping roof.

The sunlight streaming in from outside was tinted into patches of color by the glass, spreading diagonally and covering most of the hall.

Above the roof, besides the inscription, there are also murals.

Four knights, each occupying one side. Clad in armor, sword in hand, and mounted on horseback, they exude heroic spirit, each with a distinct posture.

The mural is surrounded by a large number of decorative runes, which are laid out in circles all the way to the edge of the sloping ceiling.

Lu Yuan turned his gaze from the rooftop to the sides.

Four knight statues stand facing each other on either side of the main hall.

Lu Yuan took a few steps closer and finally saw it clearly.

The stone used for these statues and their bases is clearly not the same as the stone used for the main hall.

This stone has a deeper color.

Moreover, it's immediately obvious that they have existed for a very long time, bearing very obvious traces of time.

Clearly, this is the knight statue that the Blue Knight mentioned was brought over.

But each of their statues is nearly ten meters tall. It's unknown how they transported them.

Opposite the statue, in the very center of the main hall, is an ancient array carved into the ground.

The array occupied almost half of the main hall, with patterns encircling one another, so intricate that it was impossible to decipher. Within the carved grooves, a special metal was inlaid, dark and subtly gleaming.

The edges of the formation have concentric stripes, like markings or decorations.

Two rows of stone pillars stretch from the temple entrance all the way into the depths.

A lamp is embedded in the pillar at intervals.

Deeper inside, there were niches, from which a cold light emanated.

Lu Yuan looked along the stone pillar. In the deepest part, the shadows were very heavy, and he couldn't see what was there.

As Lu Yuan walked toward the center of the main hall, gray and white text kept popping up.

[Target detected: ...parse failed...]

They didn't even give me what it was.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened slightly.

What is inside these statues that has managed to evade the scrutiny of the gray and white text, or rather, evade one's own knowledge and understanding?

At this moment, Oden also seemed like a confused fellow.

"I can't quite tell either," it replied in Lu Yuan's mind, "but it definitely doesn't have those forbidden auras. You can rest assured about that."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt somewhat relieved. Since there was no forbidden aura, it really didn't matter.

He then walked toward the array formation in the main hall.

And directly behind this great hall, in the shadows, sat an old man.

He had a full white beard, wore armor with star patterns, and had a badge on his chest with a pattern resembling stars.

He sat at a desk, head down, pen in hand, silently watching Lu Yuan enter.

As for Lu Yuan, he didn't notice him at all from beginning to end.

"Hey, Lu Yuan, someone's watching you."

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

But he didn't look around.

Because in his perception, he did not sense the presence of any person.

"Good reaction," Oden remarked. "Never mind, it's probably the recorder; their aura is very strong. Is this aura related to astrology?"

Oden muttered to himself.

He then said, "Don't worry about it, just continue with your test. He doesn't mean you any harm."

For now, Lu Yuan could only continue.

Then, he came to the center of the formation, stood still, and slightly raised his head.

On the ceiling, a passage of text in the Imperial language is engraved on a huge piece of inlaid metal.

He stared at the text, and after making sure he was standing properly, he began to read it aloud, word by word.

"Whoever establishes this temple shall uphold four oaths."

"The sword does not drink the blood of the innocent."

"The granaries are never empty of wheat for the farmers."

"Graves should not be used to house the bones of those who died young."

"Diseases cannot cross the gate of vigilance."

"With these four oaths on our lips, all the lands will be at peace."

"This vow will not fade with the passing of the sun and moon, nor will it vanish with the passing of frost and snow."

"Those who break their oath shall be forsaken by Heaven and Earth."

As Lu Yuan finished reading it aloud, the gray text finally popped up.

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

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

Two shots were fired in quick succession.

But Lu Yuan's body did not react at all.

He waited and waited, but nothing came.

He stood in the middle of the formation, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He felt nothing when he recited the oath.

I was neither constrained nor moved; it was as if I had simply read a string of text.

This is completely different from the inscription-like texts recited when I joined the Taboo Society.

This time, it's just a simple piece of text.

While Lu Yuan was lost in thought...

Suddenly, it was as if he had triggered something.

The patterns and arrays beneath their feet suddenly lit up and then burst into flames.

The flames, which had no temperature, suddenly burst outwards along the metal-inlaid rune array, then swirled and spread outwards in circles.

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked down, and the flames swept past his feet without him feeling any burning sensation.

Then, the sound continued to ring out.

The sound was extremely ethereal and clear, echoing one after another among the statues.

It was as if something was being conveyed back and forth between the four statues.
