Chapter 58: Face the Blood
Lugh didn’t care about this at all.
What he was most concerned about now was whether the rune school would rely on the p.r.o.nunciation of those runes.
There were more than a million rune p.r.o.nunciations.
Just thinking about all those incorrect p.r.o.nunciations gave him a headache.
“Is the p.r.o.nunciation part of the entrance examination for the rune school?”
Hearing Lugh’s words, the three of them were stunned.
Rune p.r.o.nunciation?
Wasn’t that something that was only tested in primary and junior high schools?
“No…”
Rexton said speechlessly, “We’re talking about the entrance to the rune school, how can it be tested on questions like rune p.r.o.nunciation? It would be far too easy. I don’t dare to say that I can still remember 700,000 to 800,000 rune p.r.o.nunciation sounds.”
“700,000 to 800,000 p.r.o.nunciation sounds and you’re so smug?”
“I know a million!”
Lorca’s face was filled with pride.
G.o.d knows how much pain and suffering he had suffered when his father had forced him to learn the p.r.o.nunciation of runes.
Vivienne smiled and said, “Those are all basic things. Mastering the p.r.o.nunciation of runes is something that every rune-master has to do. Although I’m not some genius rune-master, I mastered the p.r.o.nunciation of over a million runes when I was ten years old.”
Lugh was speechless. This was what a ruthless person was like.
When he thought about the p.r.o.nunciation of over a million runes, his scalp went numb.
He didn’t expect that this was only the basics.
“Amazing!”
Lugh gave them a thumbs up. “I don’t believe any of this. It’s fine that they don’t test the p.r.o.nunciation. I’m relieved to hear that you guys don’t test it. You guys are really amazing. You can memorize more than a million rune p.r.o.nunciations…
“Really, you’re better than me.”
As he spoke, his face was filled with admiration.
Lugh was serious and did not lie.
As for Rexton and the other two, they were speechless.
They really had to hand it to this thirteenth young master.
You say he’s not strong. The runes that he condensed seemed to be top-notch. His combat ability was even more terrifying. Even the Lion Horse Guards were easily killed by him.
But if you said that he was strong, then he said that he hadn’t even completely grasped the p.r.o.nunciation of the runes. It was like a mystery.
They were increasingly unable to understand Lugh.
“Young Master Night, are you serious?”
Rexton didn’t dare to believe it and asked another question.
“Over a million rune p.r.o.nunciation, you really haven’t grasped it?”
“It’s true, I’m not lying to you.” Lugh spread his hands.
They walked as they spoke.
At this moment, the smell of blood hit them.
All the people in the dozens of carriages, whether they were the queen’s people, servants, or n.o.bles, had been killed. The blood had dyed the ground red. Under the morning glow, it was like h.e.l.l.
“Let’s go.”
Clare covered her eyes and turned around to leave.
“Urgh…”
Lorca, Rexton, and Vivienne started vomiting.
When Lugh had killed the Lion Horse Guards, they had been dozens of meters away. Moreover, the sky was still quite dark at that time. It was only when Lugh moved that they could only see that the Lion Horse Guards were dead. However, they could not see the actual b.l.o.o.d.y scene, therefore, they did not feel anything.
However, it was different now. It was daybreak, and the light was very clear.
Moreover, they walked directly into the pile of corpses, so they could see all the details clearly.
The three of them had never seen blood or people that had been killed before. When they saw such a scene, they immediately broke down.
In addition, there was a strong smell of blood, and the remains of limbs and internal organs were everywhere.
How could they withstand it?
Seeing this, Lugh waved his hand.
The corpses and carriages were set ablaze. Under the raging fire, they were burned to ashes.
In the end, Vivienne washed everything with water. The ground was clean as if nothing had happened.
But they still hadn’t recovered from their shock.
Even after they had traveled seven or eight miles, their faces were still pale and bloodless.
“You haven’t seen blood before?”
Lugh had put it mildly, but in reality, he meant to ask them if they had killed anyone.
Then, he casually comforted them, “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it.”
There was no need to comfort them about such things. They would get used to it after seeing it many times. People adapted very quickly.
When he had first killed someone, he had not been used to it. Fortunately, he was in an absolutely calm situation at that time. Moreover, he had a motive. From Celt, Berg, those trash n.o.bles, to the Lion Horse Guards just now, he was already completely used to it.
His heart did not waver at all.
This did not mean that he was a cold-blooded, dark, and murderous person in his heart.
He was only killing those who deserved to be killed.
Killing these pieces of trash was to rid the world of evil. This was a good thing.
Even if he did not think that he was a good person, he did not mind being a good person occasionally!
“It’s strange,” Rexton said softly, “It’s not that I’ve never seen dead people. I’ve seen many people in the southern district, but I’ve never vomited before. But this time, I can’t help it…”
“That’s normal.”
Lugh’s voice was calm. “Some people like to eat meat, but it feels very cruel to see a chicken being killed. What you’re afraid of is not the dead, but the blood. That’s why I said that you’ll get used to it eventually because you’ll definitely face more such situations in the future. You’ll get used to it.”
After he finished speaking he brought over several of the corpses. “The pursuit will not stop. This is just the beginning. We have to kill our way out of the Simon Empire from here. You have to learn to face the blood. It is not okay to vomit when you see dead bodies.”
