Chapter 91: Prepare to Climb the Mountain
“You guys go ahead first. I’ll walk around by myself. Don’t worry, I won’t be stupid. It’s convenient to walk this mountain path, but I have to be alive to walk it.”
Lugh shook his head. He planned to continue walking and take a good look at this Divine Monument Garden from the side.
He believed that his system would definitely be able to a.n.a.lyze the contents of these Divine Monuments, so he wasn’t in a hurry at all. A month was really ample time.
According to his cautious personality, before he did something, he had to fully understand the matte. Although it looked like he was just wandering aimlessly, in reality, he was observing the Divine Monument Garden.
He had a lot of time, but Camia, Elizabeth, and the others did not. Although they had the talent to light up thirty Divine Monuments without a problem, they could not waste their time like this with him.
That was why he said for them to leave.
“Alright, you take care.”
Hearing what Lugh said, Camia knew what kind of person he was, so she could only agree.
There was not much time. If Lugh continued to stroll around like this, they would really not be able to stand it.
After Camia and Elizabeth left, Lugh continued to walk around the foot of the Green Mountain.
By now, the sky was already dark and the twilight was getting thicker. The bright red sunset glow in the horizon seemed to be burning.
He came to a courtyard in the southwest direction and saw a thatched cottage.
The thatched cottage was built very simply and the construction was rough. The thatched gra.s.s on the eaves had not been changed for many years, and it was dark and gray.
He would be in the Divine Monument Garden, so he had to find a place to stay and rest. Lugh did not plan to be like those other examinees, like headless flies. He only focused on comprehending the Divine Monument and ignored the other problems in his life.
Since there was a thatched cottage in front of him, Lugh guessed that it was a place where the monument slaves lived, so he planned to see if he could stay here.
“Is anyone there?”
He called out politely to the thatched cottage twice, but no one responded.
It seemed that either there was no one living there, or the owner of the cottage was not here for the time being.
After thinking about it, he walked forward and pushed the door open.
He found that there were a few oranges in the thatched cottage, and the table was covered with a layer of dust. The water tank behind the door had dried up, and there was a wooden barrel.
There were some rice noodles in the wooden barrel.
It seemed that someone had lived here before, but that person had left some time ago.
Looking at the environment in front of him, Lugh could not stand it. He was used to sleeping on the big, soft bed of the Galaxy Hotel, and now he had to stay in a shabby little thatched cottage. Of course, he was not used to it.
However, there was only one hut at the moment, so he had no other choice.
Fortunately, cleaning wasn’t a problem for Lugh. He used the runes that controlled the airflow and the rocks to blow away the dust in the hut, instantly cleaning it up a lot.
Then, he used the rock runes to re-stack the surroundings. Although it still looked a bit shabby, it was much better than before.
As for the food, there was no need to worry about it. Lugh’s runic s.p.a.ce stored a large amount of food, rice, and noodles, which could be eaten for a long time.
First, he stewed the rice in the pot. Then, he took out a large piece of beef from the runic s.p.a.ce and washed it in the air with a water ball. Next, he used an ice blade to cut it into pieces and lit a small fireball to roast it.
Soon, an incomparably delicious savory rice was prepared.
The night became heavier and heavier. The entire Divine Monument Garden slowly darkened. The scenery was not as beautiful as before, but it gave people a more mysterious feeling. The numbers on the mountain became like shadows in the night.
Waves of majestic winds blew past, and the shadows of the trees swayed. It was somewhat frightening.
Just like that, Lugh held the savory rice and admired the night.
Of course, it was not because Lugh was so n.o.ble, but because he was really bored. The runic world was good everywhere, but there was not enough entertainment.
When it was dark, what could he do?
Other than reading books and drinking for fun, Lugh really could not think of anything better to do. So after eating, he could only take out a few books to read.
However, after reading a few books, he threw them aside. These books were no longer of any use to Lugh. They were all common knowledge and popular science books. Elizabeth had already taught him a lot of this knowledge these days.
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Lugh was already awake. He had slept the whole night and was full of energy.
After eating breakfast, he left the thatched hut and headed north along the ca.n.a.l. He had only visited the one side yesterday. Today, he planned to walk around the other places at the foot of the mountain and then go up the mountain.
Hearing the sounds of birds spreading their wings and flying from time to time in the mountain forest, Lugh walked happily to the entrance of the Divine Monument Garden. Now he planned to officially go up the mountain and see the legendary Divine Monuments.
The Divine Monuments were all in the Green Mountains, so this road was naturally the road leading to theM. The road was not very steep and was paved with many stone steps, so it was very easy to walk.
It was still morning. The morning sun peeked out from the horizon, illuminating the buildings in the distant capital. Under the sunlight, all kinds of strange-shaped castles appeared extremely magnificent, bathing in the golden light.
The cool and awe-inspiring wind blew against Lugh’s face. Lugh walked in the quiet mountain forest. Listening to the chirping of birds and seeing the flowers on the branches soaked in the dew, he felt very calm and stable.
He was half a day behind the others, but he didn’t care.
