"Oh, right, there's one more thing." The Longsong Knight pointed to the broken wall fragment.

"This stone chamber is a remnant of the academy. There are some unexplored things sealed beneath it. If you're bored, you can dig around in this small area I've designated to practice your skills, but don't dig too much."

"I'll tell you the graduation criteria in advance. It's very simple: after you finish learning ancient languages, if you can recognize half of the characters on this wall, you'll graduate and can leave the course at any time."

All eyes turned to that wall.

After class, Long Song Knight was the first to leave, and judging from his appearance, he clearly didn't want to work overtime at all.

The students, in twos and threes, briefly looked around and then left.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan did not rush to leave, but instead chose to go around to the ruins of the wall.

It's a bit far from here during class, and there are a lot of people, so it's not very convenient to look closely.

Now that everyone is gone, Lu Yuan is the only person in the entire stone chamber. So there's naturally no problem observing from there.

Lu Yuan started from the left side and looked at the wall piece by piece along the base of the wall. Most of the writing on the wall was incomplete, and the information recorded on it was not much.

There was no strange pollution or seal, so this stone chamber must have been specially selected and confirmed to be safe before being used by students for classes.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's gray and white text also began to operate, and large areas of text that maintained their complete shape began to appear before Lu Yuan's eyes.

The stone chamber was empty, and the oil lamps burning around it flickered and swayed.

Oden remained silent, following Lu Yuan as he looked at the information on the wall.

Lu Yuan quickly read through the text covering the wall, as the gray and white text could be translated very quickly.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could be said to have completed recognizing half of the graduation line on the very first day.

However, Lu Yuan did not intend to let anyone else know about this, except for Oden.

When talking to Oden, just say you know it; there's no need to say anything else.

The story recorded on this wall is from a very, very long time ago.

Although some of the characters were corroded, as long as the characters were intact, the gray-white characters could still translate them.

However, compared to those fonts that are completely blurred or damaged, the gray and white text remains completely unaffected.

The story above tells of a knight named Aldrich who was escorting a very important messenger when they encountered a disaster and a blizzard.

They were trapped on the mountain pass for several days and nights, and eventually encountered a number of bizarre attacks and pursuers.

With his last vestiges of consciousness, he dealt with all the pursuers and many other strange creatures, ultimately dying here.

To commemorate him, a certain king erected a tombstone and excavated a burial chamber for him here.

This semi-basement is actually Aldrich's grave.

Lu Yuan grinned when he saw this. It was indeed a bit strange to be having a class on someone's grave.

"Can you understand it?" Oden asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Yuan nodded and briefly recounted the stories on the wall to Auden.

"I didn't expect you could actually understand it!" Oden said, somewhat surprised. "Your ability to read ancient languages, is it all self-taught? You really have a talent."

Oden paused, then muttered, "I can understand some of it too, but not as much as you. These characters don't belong to Old Austrian, and I don't know which country's language they are, nor which empire's language they belong to."

The two chattered on and on, and Lu Yuan took the opportunity to look at the rubbing that the Long Song Knight had taken out earlier, which was said to be a rubbing of some kind of cultivation method.

However, the records on it greatly disappointed Lu Yuan. It was not a cultivation method at all, but a recipe book.

Lu Yuan stared at the cooking method, speechless.

Most importantly, Lu Yuan saw some instructions on how to consume the strange ingredients. This made Lu Yuan frown deeply; were these really meant for human consumption?

Oden also joined in, clicking his tongue, "I don't understand it, Lu Yuan, can you?"

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "I can understand some of it, but not much. It describes a recipe that involves digging out the chimeric brain of a corrupted corpse, stewing it with ghost peppers and other vegetables that I can't understand. It is said to taste good."

"There is a special method for treating the brain of a corrupted corpse chimera. As mentioned above, it is wrapped in a container forged from gold and silver, which can remove impurities from its body."

And so, Lu Yuan and Auden walked out of the stone chamber, exchanging words back and forth.

The next few days passed by slowly. Soon it was the end of the month, and the verification date arrived.

Lu Yuan got up very early that day because today's certification was crucial to all future developments. If the certification failed, all plans would be blocked, so he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

And in the past two days, Auden has also begun to try to teach Lu Yuan the ancient language he knows.

However, the teaching method did not go smoothly. Because of the large amount of information in the ancient language, Auden could not directly share the language with Lu Yuan and could only guide Lu Yuan to learn it stroke by stroke.

However, whether it was Lu Yuan's lack of talent or Auden's lack of teaching talent, the process was very difficult.

Up to now, Lu Yuan can only write a few words, and those words are written terribly. Auden was so angry that he fell asleep twice, or perhaps he fainted from anger.

However, the result was good, because Lu Yuan's Imperial Language skill increased by two points: [Imperial Language: +2...302/1000]

Keep in mind, Lu Yuan has only written one character! He's only written a few characters! Although this experience will diminish as he learns more, at least Lu Yuan has found his direction, hasn't he?

So, although Auden was furious, he could only sigh and do nothing when he saw Lu Yuan's diligent attitude towards learning.

Then all we can do is teach them, what else can we do?

As dawn broke, the heavy snow had stopped. After three days of continuous snowfall, the entire Knight Academy was completely enveloped in a silvery-white blanket. Lu Yuan checked the two tickets and badge in his hand before heading out.

The living area was still very quiet at this time. Most of the students had not yet gotten up, so there were not many people on the road. Only a few elderly people who helped out at the Knight Academy were shoveling snow.

But at their current pace, it will obviously take some time to clear the area.

The snow crunched under Lu Yuan's feet.

Following the address on the ticket, Lu Yuan walked through the teaching area and soon arrived at the herb garden area on the east side of the academy.

The detached building stands right in the middle of the medicinal herb garden area, much larger than the surrounding houses, and is surrounded by rows of medicinal herb fields.

Here, low stone walls separate the fields, some of which are directly covered by snow, while others are covered with structures resembling glass greenhouses.

Clearly, they have developed their own methods for planting here, which confirms Lu Yuan's earlier guess.

The surrounding area is filled with the aroma of various herbs, a mixture of spicy, bitter, and sweet scents that smells quite pleasant.
