After Bronze City began rebuilding, Lu Yuan prepared to leave for the Knight Academy and entrusted Leike and Agnes to those staying behind. On the journey north, he helped Black Well Town defeat a Heat Eater, then reached Snow Owl City and bought protective clothing and rare materials for his research.
Lu Yuan traveled to the Knight Academy, where he triggered three statues in the first test and learned that Health rejected him as a heretic. In the combat round, he deliberately lost to Eli while the other recruits revealed their abilities, and the academy prepared to issue recommendations.
Lu Yuan joined the academy, crafted Eerie items, and began studying Knight Body Arts and Sanity management while witnessing the dangers of Pathway rampages. As unrest spread through the Northern Territory and Withered City came under attack, he turned to Oden for advice and prepared to strengthen himself.
Lu Yuan prepared for the Northern Territory crisis while gathering supplies, forming a team, and learning about dangerous Eeries and ancient languages. He passed the Intermediate Potion Master certification, began arranging lessons in Ancient Music Theory, and sat for the Intermediate Inscription Studies exam.
Lu Yuan passed his intermediate certifications and joined the Knight Academy’s research into contaminated potions and a dangerous heretical ritual. As his Time Bestower revealed a new consciousness, the northern investigation turned deadly, leaving Rock Grand Knight Commander to suspect a connection between the captive Heretic’s death and Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan uncovered the Withered Glory Society and joined an investigation into a dangerous potion that drew people into the Land of the Dead Silence. After being pulled into that world with Frey, he set out with her while Oden remained trapped in the Sea of Knowledge and the Astrologer Grand Knight Commander recognized that a foretold disaster had begun.
Lu Yuan protected Frey through the Land of the Dead Silence, fighting the Holy Sovereign’s Heretics while learning how they hunted Wanderers. He joined the Blue Knight and Brunkel in battle, then left with them and learned they had been pulled into the world during the Northern Territory Mission.
Lu Yuan and his companions sought shelter and allies in the Land of the Dead Silence, but Heretics hunted Frey as the Holy Sovereign’s Seed. After Lu Yuan rose to Fifth Order and fought the Heretic leaders, their leader summoned the Holy Sovereign, whose body lay beneath the land.
Lu Yuan used his authority over the Sea of Knowledge to stop the Holy Sovereign’s awakening, free Frey from the Seed’s contamination, and return from the Land of the Dead Silence. Back at the Knight Academy, he developed a plague test and brewed a Dragon Blood Potion while Brunkel and the Blue Knight’s flight ended with the Astrologer Grand Knight Commander escorting them toward the North Campus.
Lu Yuan saved the Blue Knight from contamination, earned the Academy’s trust, and accepted a mission to investigate the Withered Glory Society in Watch City. After preparing for departure and joining a squad bound for the Northern Territory, he faced an ambush when a formation triggered an avalanche and unleashed mutated creatures on the convoy.
Lu Yuan joined the Academy’s effort to uncover a Heretic plot involving memory-eating mushrooms hidden in Watch City’s heating and water systems. As investigators began searching for the cultivation sites, A.M. learned Lu Yuan was in the city and set out to find him.
