"He's fine," the Lantern Knight said, then extinguished the faint lamp hanging at his waist. "There's no contamination on him, nor is there any possibility of him going berserk. My supernatural artifacts haven't detected anything wrong with him."

"I taught the rationality management and restraint class before. I saw his rationality color with my own eyes. It was very close to green. He and that girl Leah can be said to be exceptionally gifted. Their mastery of their own pathways is definitely stronger than weaker."

"It's a pity you didn't watch the freshman competition," the Knight with the Lantern continued. "His assessment was that he was calm and composed, without using any of his own abilities. Even so, he fought Eli to a standstill. If he had used his own abilities, Eli would most likely not have been his match. You must have seen that report."


"Originally, the Grand Knight of Astronomy wanted to take Lu Yuan as his student," the Lantern Knight changed the subject, "but considering the existence of timekeeping, perhaps it would be better for you to take him as your student."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Knight Commander of Rock was taken aback, and upon hearing the word "student," he couldn't help but frown.

"As you know, I'm almost on that path now," he said in a low voice, "I simply don't have the energy to take on students or teach them right now."

"Lu Yuan is indeed quite talented, if there are no problems with him. Since entering the academy, there is no clear learning record. No, there is a record of his learning in pharmacy. It is said that he learned it from Laurinna."

"Laurena is at headquarters now, right?" asked Grand Knight Commander Rock.

"Yes, that girl is also very capable. Her self-created potions are of an exceptionally high standard, you could say they are amazing. I've also heard of her reputation," the Knight with the Lantern said. "I heard that she was taken in as a student by Mr. Karen."

"Karen? You mean the one who can make pathway stabilizing agents?"

"Yes, it's that person who can customize pathway stabilizing potions," the Lantern Knight corrected. "Alas, the pathway stabilizing potions he customizes are just too expensive, and the production volume is too small. Otherwise, I would have gotten you a bottle too. However, Karen also praised Laurina's talent, saying it's the kind that only comes along once in a millennium."

"I see." Grand Knight Commander Rock nodded. "Since he was able to study potionmaking with Laurina for so long, it's not surprising that he passed the intermediate certification. But where did he get his strange inscription skills? I haven't seen any learning records for inscription on my end. What about yours?"

"No, not at all."

Both of them were silent for a moment.

"So, are you sure you don't want to take this talent?" The Knight with the Lantern smiled. "He's very gifted."

Grand Knight Commander Rock sighed helplessly, "We'll see."

"Ah, it's a pity I'm not qualified to take on students, otherwise it would be so much better if I were," the Lantern Knight said with a smile, looking at the Grand Knight Commander of the Rock. "You'll be soon, won't you?"

Hearing the question from the Grand Knight of Rock, the Lantern Knight shook his head. "I'm far from it. You know my path. How easy is it to reach the fifth rank? I'd be lucky to even touch the threshold in this lifetime."

As they talked, the two of them started walking, continuing to investigate the other people involved in the mission.

Lu Yuan, feeling somewhat dazed, returned to his small house.

The moment he pushed open the door, he was a little stunned, because the room was crowded with people. Dean, Blanca, and Leon were sitting in his small house, staring at each other, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.

"You're back?" Blanca grinned as she saw Lu Yuan arrive.

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was a little confused. "How did you all end up in my room?"

Blanca pointed with his finger. "I drove it. It's just too much trouble to wait for you these days. I haven't seen you for days, and I couldn't find you even after looking for you several times."

Lu Yuan scratched his head. He had indeed been quite busy these past few days, spending all his time on certifications, and now he had also taken on the confidential mission for the Knight Academy.

He went inside and sat down. His coat moved on its own, picking up the kettle and pouring each of them a cup of hot tea.

The three of them were somewhat taken aback when they saw the clothes and busied themselves with them.

"Your clothes..." Dean stared at them for a long time.

"Where did you come from?" Blanca also stepped forward, her small face showing a hint of curiosity. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Lu Yuan's clothes. From the outside, it was just a very ordinary standard uniform, with nothing special about it.

"The Night's Watch uniform is very expensive." Lu Yuan took the tea offered by the clothes seller, took a small sip, and said, "Besides, I don't know how to make it, so forget about it. If you want one, ask your family if you can get two from the Night's Watch."

"Oh, is that so?" Blanca raised an eyebrow in exasperation. "Alright, it seems I guess I won't be able to get it then."

The clothes were quickly arranged, and as Lu Yuan sat down, everything returned to its original state.

Lu Yuan placed his teacup on the table. "Alright, tell me, what did you want to see me about? Is it because the mission we're supposed to be on has a set time?"

"Brilliant!" Blanca snapped his fingers. "The timing is set. We'll be dispatched on a mission in about twenty days."

As she spoke, she briefly recounted the information that her family had sent back.

The troubles in the North, with the arrival of the Knight Academy, have not decreased but rather seem to be increasing.

The defenses of the Dead City have been secretly drawing troops and supplies from various cities, but this has not yet been made public.

Even the main academy is drawing people, and her brother has also heard the news. This time, the dispatch is not just a matter for the branch academy, but a mobilization of the entire Knight Academy, and the entire Northern Territory has also been mobilized.

"Oh, right, there's one more little thing. It's said that the central government has sent a notoriously ruthless heretic purger into the country to deal with heretics who have infiltrated the population. His methods are said to be quite unpleasant, so be careful not to get corrupted. If you do get corrupted, run away as fast as you can. If you actually appear in front of him, not even a god can save you."

Blanca pursed her lips as she said this, clearly not knowing who the so-called heretic purger was, but since that's what the family said, she figured she should just stay away from him.

"And what's confirmed is that there are no restrictions on team formation; we can indeed form teams freely," Blanca said, looking at Lu Yuan. "So I came to ask what your plans are?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"I've joined the group of Grand Knight Commander Rock," Lu Yuan added. "I've passed the intermediate inscription and intermediate potion certifications and gained the authority to participate in some missions related to the Northern Territory at the Knight Academy. These missions have a high level of secrecy, so I'm unlikely to be sent out, but that's not necessarily the case. If it really comes to that, I might go out on my own initiative."

Lu Yuan said this because he had his own plans. He had already guessed that if he wanted, he could stay in the Knight Academy until the situation in the North was irreversible or had been perfectly resolved.
