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

No wonder those who hang themselves seem somewhat resentful; this is how it comes about.

"However, given the current scale of the Sea of ​​Knowledge, a transcendent powerhouse below the third rank wouldn't even qualify to become nourishment. Their reason would be emptied, their consciousness erased, and their empty shell would be possessed by some strange entity, becoming a scourge to the region."

Lu Yuan's lips twitched. "You really are a menace to the region."

However, Lu Yuan was also curious about how Auden and the others prevented the Sea of ​​Knowledge from eroding them. Auden's next answer left Lu Yuan speechless.

"Why bother with precautions?" Oden shrugged. "As long as we don't stay that long, isn't that enough?"

"Huh? If I don't wait that long, will I be able to get what I want?"

"If once isn't enough, can't we try twice or three times?" Auden looked at Lu Yuan as if he were an idiot.

"But aren't the places we go to different each time?"

"Yes, they are indeed different," Oden said somewhat matter-of-factly. "But there's no need for them to be the same."

Lu Yuan was speechless at Auden's answer.

"So what exactly are you going to do at the Sea of ​​Knowledge?"

"Let's try our luck," Oden said matter-of-factly. "The greatest joy of exploring the sea of ​​knowledge is that you never know what you'll encounter at any time."

Lu Yuan was full of questions.

What do you mean by "running around trying your luck"? Does it mean going in is like winning a lottery?

Auden sighed as he looked at Lu Yuan's somewhat bewildered expression.

"What do you take the Sea of ​​Knowledge for? It's a forbidden place, after all. It's already a miracle that forbidden science has found a way in; how many people want to get in but can't?"

Oden snorted, indicating his dissatisfaction.

"Furthermore, I understand that, given your current abilities, you don't particularly need the method for entering the Sea of ​​Knowledge passed down from forbidden science. But there's one more thing I need to make clear to you: even if you have something to rely on, you must not stay inside for too long, even if you have a connection to the Sea of ​​Knowledge, because this thing is inevitably eroded by the Sea of ​​Knowledge."

"Based on the records that my friends and I have collected before, no one has been able to stay in the sea of ​​knowledge for a full hour, because none of those who have stayed have ever come back."

Oden smacked his lips again as he said this.

"No, in a sense, quite a few people have already filled their quotas, but they just don't have the option to leave. As their bodies decay and their pathways mutate, they end up with a corpse, which everyone then kills."

Lu Yuan remained silent for a few moments.

This was probably the least joking thing Oden said tonight, but Lu Yuan could tell that the guy was serious.

If he were to actually become a corpse, Oden would definitely beat him to death.

"Don't just keep looking so glum," Oden's tone lightened again. "It's true that the sea of ​​knowledge is all about luck, but there's actually a bit of skill involved."

"What technique?"

"At the boundary between the Deep Zone and the Radiant Zone, there is a short period of time that resembles a rising tide, during which a large amount of knowledge and relics are washed out. Much of the knowledge I had back then was salvaged from this rising tide."

"High tide? The Sea of ​​Knowledge has such a segment?" Lu Yuan's interest was instantly piqued.

"Of course. I haven't fully explored the secrets contained in the Sea of ​​Knowledge yet. Now that our forbidden studies are gradually declining, there's less and less research on the Sea of ​​Knowledge. If we want to make any greater progress now, we can only rely on you, since you happen to have some connection with the Sea of ​​Knowledge."

"Moreover, this unique technique is so rare that no more than two people in this era can still remember it." Oden's voice revealed a hint of pride. "I can teach you when I have time, and then when the tide comes in, you can go and fish for things. Who knows, you might catch something good."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, because the Sea of ​​Knowledge was indeed too vast. Although he held power over it, to claim he could retrieve the knowledge he desired from it was simply a pipe dream. At least with Lu Yuan's current strength, he was completely incapable of mastering that ability.

"If we really learn how to use the high tide method, we might be able to organize one effective salvage operation after another. We can go in and salvage at a fixed time every day and then leave. It's safe, stable, and can be done in the long run. So this business seems more worthwhile no matter how you look at it."

"Wait a minute." Lu Yuan suddenly remembered a detail. "You just said that the formula was indeed refined using the Worm of Knowledge?"

"yes."

"So, 'quenching' means crushing?"

"More or less." Auden suddenly seemed unconcerned. "What? It's not like I'm asking you to use your own Knowledge Worm to refine it. The Knowledge Worm has many branches, so don't worry."

Lu Yuan's random question received an answer, but it did not cause any disturbance to the Knowledge Worm. It simply lazily rolled over in its left eye and continued to sleep.

Well, it seems the intellectuals of this day don't care either.

Lu Yuan finished the last bit of cold tea in his cup and stood up.

With his casual conversation with Oden, the time was almost up, and the Knight with the Lantern was waiting for someone to go on duty. He couldn't let go of that knight's token.

So Lu Yuan added some more firewood to the fireplace in the room, then pushed open the door and stepped into the night.

The Knight Academy was quite quiet at night. There were hardly any people on the road. The streetlights on both sides lit up slowly, and the snow kept falling from the sky under the lights.

Lu Yuan tightened his coat slightly as he wished, and then, following the direction of his memory, he walked towards the Suspended Tower.

Lu Yuan was somewhat looking forward to the evening's outing. Compared to the bizarre inscriptions handled by the Rock Knight Commander, the potion-making skills handled by the Lantern Knight were Lu Yuan's forte. Here, he was more confident in gaining experience points and obtaining the exclusive rewards for deciphering the inscriptions.

There were still some figures moving around in the lobby of the suspended tower, and the crystal chandelier illuminated the surroundings very brightly.

Lu Yuan knew the way well and quickly arrived at the round hall where he was to be received. To avoid going to the wrong place, he asked one of the senior students at the curved counter.

The senior student was very helpful. After listening, she pointed out the way to Lu Yuan, saying that the Lantern Knight's mission was in the room at the end of the road on the right ahead, and someone would come to greet him after he went in.

Lu Yuan thanked him and then walked deeper into the road.

The roads here are wide, and the further you go in, the more rooms there are on both sides. Oil paintings hang on the walls next to the doors, and several trees that only grow in the snow stand beside the doors. As you walk along, the atmosphere of life here becomes stronger and stronger. Compared to the strange inscription literature area, this place feels more like a place where people live than a place for research.

At the end of the corridor hung a sign for Pharmacy. Lu Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the door. After hearing a response from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

The entrance room was large, with two oval doors leading into what appeared to be a deeper room, filled with many items.

In this large room, there was not the bustling crowd that Lu Yuan had imagined, but only one person.

A short girl with white hair piled up on her head in a small bun was pouting, looking unhappy, as if she had just had an argument with someone.
