The Rock Grand Knight Commander's Visit

Lu Yuan looked at the three Lead-Sealed Wooden Boxes on the table and nodded. He thought Oden's suggestion was quite practical. He replied in his heart that it was indeed no problem to refine the items and keep them on his person while he had the time. However, as long as he stayed in the Knight Academy, he had no intention of going to the Sea of Knowledge for the time being.

Upon hearing this, the Oden in his mind, who had previously been somewhat languid, suddenly dropped his tone, becoming exceptionally serious, and unconsciously agreed wholeheartedly:

"You really shouldn't go to the Academy lately, because three days ago when you saved that blue-haired little girl in that Infirmary up there and opened the gap in the Sea of Knowledge, I already sensed something was wrong. The instant you tore open the gap, something unseen near the Infirmary seemed to fluctuate slightly for a moment."

At this point, Oden's grayish-white mist of consciousness trembled slightly at the edge of Lu Yuan's sea of consciousness, issuing a very serious warning to Lu Yuan:

"Lu Yuan, it's highly likely that your affair has already been discovered by the higher-ups at the Knight Academy. I'm currently just a remnant soul, and while I can't definitively say what kind of monitoring Formation that fleeting fluctuation was, the possibility that they've discovered you is extremely high."

When Lu Yuan heard Oden's sudden warning, his fingers, which were resting on the edge of the wooden box, paused slightly. His expression froze for a moment, clearly not expecting that even though he had narrowed the opening to less than half a finger's width, it had still triggered some kind of monitoring mechanism within the North Campus.

However, Lu Yuan only paused for a moment. After a quick thought, his tense brows relaxed again, and his expression returned to its usual calm and composure. In his mind, he calmly told Oden that even if he was discovered, it wouldn't be a problem.

In Lu Yuan's view, even if the commotion he made while saving someone in the Infirmary three days ago was detected by the monitoring Formation of the Academy's higher-ups, and even if it exposed a corner of his secret related to the Sea of Knowledge, it would only let outsiders know that he, Lu Yuan, was involved with the legendary Sea of Knowledge.

It should be understood that both the Tower of Erudition in Bronze City and other special departments of the Empire have always been trying to communicate with the Sea of Knowledge in various ways. Although it is rare for someone with Knowledge Transcendent to have some connection with the Sea of Knowledge, it is far from being earth-shattering.

Outsiders could never know that what he truly held deep within his left eye was the Authority the Sea of Knowledge, nor could they know that he could not only freely enter and exit that Taboo sea at any time, but also directly mobilize the power of the Sea of Knowledge at will.

Since no one can see through his most crucial Authority and trump card, it's not a problem at all if people openly know that he has some connection with the Sea of Knowledge. Let others know if they want to.

As long as this knowledge is limited to the Blue Knight and the two Fifth Order Grand Knight Commander in the Academy, it's not a big deal at all.

Seeing that Lu Yuan showed no panic after hearing the warning, but instead analyzed the pros and cons perfectly in the blink of an eye, the Oden in his mind couldn't help but secretly praise the boy's good character. He didn't try to persuade him further, but simply responded in his mind:

"Alright, since there are no problems, and you know what you're doing, then I'll explain the recipe and refining method from the Deep Zone to you..."

Oden's words had barely left Lu Yuan's mind, and he hadn't even had a chance to say the amount of the first ingredient in the recipe, when a series of steady and rhythmic footsteps suddenly came from the stone path outside the small house. Immediately afterward, someone raised their hand and knocked loudly on the wooden door of the house.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and immediately signaled to Oden to stop in his mind. He then deftly swept the three Lead-Sealed Wooden Boxes on the table back into his hidden bag, got up, and quickly walked to the door and opened it.

When the tall, imposing figure with his signature blood-red short hair and thick beard came into view, even the usually composed Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the elusive Rock Grand Knight Commander would personally come to his door at this time.

"Rock Grand Knight Commander? What brings you here in person? Please come in."

Lu Yuan quickly came to his senses and hurriedly stepped aside to make way for the Fifth Order leader of the North Campus, welcoming him into the first-floor living room. The Awakening Coat hanging on his shoulder also subtly moved its sleeves, as if he wanted to help by fetching tea from the table, but the Rock Grand Knight Commander casually waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.

The Rock Grand Knight Commander strode to the wooden table on the first floor and sat down with an imposing air. His dignified eyes calmly looked at Lu Yuan sitting opposite him. Without uttering a single superfluous word of pleasantries, he went straight to the point, stating the first reason for his personal trip:

"The first thing I did today was to thank you. Thank you for saving the Blue Knight; she was a student personally taught by me, Rock."

Upon hearing Rock Grand Knight Commander's frank and direct thanks, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and a small doubt that had been lingering in his mind was instantly resolved.

He had been wondering why, when they were preparing to depart from Bronze City, the Blue Knight already knew that a Grand Knight Commander at the Northern Knight Academy possessed the [Time Bestower] power.

Moreover, he clearly told him that the Grand Knight Commander's use of [Time Bestower] was completely different from his own. It turned out that the Blue Knight was actually a personal student of the Rock Grand Knight Commander. No wonder he knew so much about this Fifth Order expert's personal weapon!

Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand politely, indicating that the Blue Knight had taken care of him many times in Bronze City and the Land of the Dead Silence, and that helping him was simply his duty. There was no need for the Grand Knight Commander to come all the way to express his gratitude.

Rock Grand Knight Commander looked at Lu Yuan, whose expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and a rare hint of approval appeared on his usually stern face. After thanking him, he changed the subject and stated the second reason for his visit that day:

"Besides thanking my student, I've come to see you today about the Transcendence weapon on your chest. Ever since I saw that peculiar Time Bestower on you in the Hanging Tower, I've had someone thoroughly investigate the Empire's top-secret archives to Time Bestower the details of this Transcendence weapon."

Upon hearing that it was a top-secret file about [Time Bestower], Lu Yuan immediately perked up, sat up straight, and listened attentively.
