Chapter 95: Examinees Who Were Not in the Right State
If his drawing skills were a little better, perhaps he could make the pictures on his notebook jump on the paper as expected.
The fog in the forest dispersed, and the dew on the treetops had also dried up. The courtyard was incomparably bright. Before he knew it, it was already noon.
Lugh rubbed his slightly sore eyes and closed them to rest for a while. He felt that his stomach was a little hungry, so he prepared to get up and make lunch.
Only then did he realize that none of the examinees had returned.
The courtyard was quiet because of the rising temperature. Even the birds in the forest could not be bothered to call out their names. He stood alone in front of the door and felt a little bored.
After eating something, he returned to his room and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Then, he returned to the stone table in the courtyard.
With a notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, he continued to look at the scenery around the courtyard. He began to daydream. The light was constantly changing with time, so he had to observe it all the time.
Time passed slowly. As the sun gradually set in the west, the color of the light that fell on the courtyard gradually became denser.
After quietly watching for a long time, Lugh finally began to write again. He used the brush to draw all the changes he had observed throughout the entire afternoon on the paper. Of course, he had to rely on his own feelings, so the lines he drew were not accurate, however, he had a strange feeling.
In the evening, he looked at the inscriptions on the Divine monument on the paper again.
He smiled and the corners of his mouth curled up. He knew that he was not far from understanding these inscriptions.
When he understood these inscriptions, he would be able to light up the Divine Monument.
At this moment, the examinees who had stayed in this courtyard the previous night had also returned to the courtyard.
The first one to return was a thin youth. Lugh nodded at him in greeting.
However, it was as if he did not see it at all. Instead, he directly walked into the house and drank a large mouthful of water. Then, he walked back into the courtyard and sat at the door with a somewhat dazed expression.
Following that, a few more youths returned to the courtyard. These youths all had somewhat muddled expressions. Although they did not forget to greet Lugh, after entering the house, they almost knocked their heads against the door. After a while, they walked out of the house again.
For some unknown reason, they all lowered their heads and began to walk around the courtyard. Their mouths kept muttering, and no one knew what they were saying.
One of the examinees stepped on the grass and looked at the setting sun in the distance. He had a complicated expression. The other examinee walked around the courtyard. His mouth kept muttering as if he had been possessed. In short, these people were very strange.
These were examinees from the nine great empires. Those who could pass the first round of the talent test were not ordinary. These people were dressed in luxurious clothes. Lugh also had some impression of them. He had seen these people at the entrance of the Divine Monument Garden yesterday.
With his current perception, he already had a photographic memory.
At first, Lugh was a little surprised that these people all had strange looks on their faces. However, he immediately thought that they must have studied the Divine Monument for a day. He felt some enlightenment in his heart. At this moment, he was still in a state of thinking, so he did not continue to disturb his thoughts.
The twilight was getting thicker, and more and more examinees returned to the courtyard. Rexton and Lorca had also come to this courtyard, which made Lugh feel a little joy that was hard to resist.
Rexton was much more normal than the others, and his face did not show any special emotions. After seeing Lugh, his eyes also lit up, and he was very happy.
However, Lorca was not in a good condition. His condition was worse than the examinees in the courtyard. As if he was drunk, he kept shouting, “I can hold on for a little longer, I can hold on for a little longer.”
Lugh asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just that I used up too much spiritual energy. To light the Divine Monument, I have to comprehend the contents of the monument. This consumes a lot of spiritual energy.”
Rexton sighed and pressed on the back of Lorca’s head. The drunk Lorca immediately fell asleep and was thrown to the ground.
Lugh could not use his spiritual energy when he was looking at the Divine Monument. Looking at Lorca’s appearance and other the examinees in the courtyard who were obsessed, he thought that it made sense to be careful.
In the end, Vivienne also returned to the courtyard. Her face was full of fatigue. She dragged her body and walked back step by step.
When he saw Vivienne, his tired face showed a trace of surprise, then turned into joy. However, a strong sense of fatigue surged in his mind, made Lorca unable to say anything. He could only look at her, then, he went back to sleep.
Seeing the state of Lorca and the others, Lugh shook his head.
How could this light up the Divine Monument?
Looking at the half-dead faces, this was simply killing him.
However, looking at their weak appearance, as friends, Lugh obviously had to do something. He walked to the kitchen and cooked a sumptuous dinner.
Then, he went to call for Rexton and the other two to eat. Lorca and Vivienne struggled to get out of bed. However, when they smelled the food Lugh had cooked, they were immediately energized.
Before they started eating, they seemed to have recovered some of their energy.
“Hurry up and eat. Once you’re full, your spiritual energy will recover faster.”
Lugh looked at them and found it a little funny.
“As expected of the Thirteenth Young Master. His cooking actually has the effect of recovering spirit.”
Rexton chuckled and picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lorca and Vivienne also started eating. After taking a bite of the food, their eyes suddenly lit up. The delicious taste blossomed on the tip of their tongues. Their spirits were much better, and they immediately began to eat large mouthfuls.
It was as if they had been reincarnated from a hungry ghost. Their speed was extremely fast. Vivienne knew that it was because they had consumed too much energy and needed food to make up for it.
