Shock! The Spell Is In English!

In the south of the Rune Academy, there was a wide and clear river with a wooden bridge across it. After crossing this wooden bridge, one could see a large and lush garden. In the depths of the garden, there were a few green mountains that rose and fell continuously.

The Divine Monument Garden was located in those green mountains and was where the mausoleum was situated.

Under Soros's lead, the examinees walked across the wooden bridge. They looked at the green mountains with excitement, their faces filled with yearning.

Lugh wasn't as excited as the examinees, although he was a little curious as to what this Divine Monument was that could make these people so excited.

Did it really contain the understanding and comprehension of runes of the twelve sages of the human race?

Soon, under Soros's lead, they crossed the wide wooden bridge on the river and arrived at the green garden outside the Divine Monument Garden. Of course, they didn't stop here. Instead, they directly passed the main road that was only seen by the ancient green trees and continued to walk towards the continuous green mountains.

On both sides of the road stood stone statues. These were all outstanding figures of the Rune Academy over the past thousands of years. There were principals, teachers, and students.

Although some students had left the Rune Academy, their cultivation had never fallen behind. On the contrary, they had become powerful rune-masters and had achieved great accomplishments. This was why they were qualified to be carved into statues and placed here.

The towering ancient trees were lush and verdant, blocking out the sunlight and scattering down large patches of shadows. The environment was extremely tranquil and serene. The deeper one went, the quieter it became. No one dared to open their mouths to speak, and they held their breaths as they walked forward.

The examinees raised their heads and looked at the scenery around them. They looked at the green mountains that were getting closer, but they still could not see them clearly. They became more and more nervous.

Soros stopped.

At the end of the dark road was a stone door. Beside it were a few rune-masters in long robes guarding the place.

Soros stopped in front of the stone door among the examinees. They also stopped. After Soros talked to the rune-masters guarding the door, they walked to the side.

They summoned green runes. These were rock runes, and they could control rocks.

Under the light of the rock runes, the stone door slowly opened.

The examinees felt a slight tremor coming from the ground, and they couldn't help but be surprised. They thought to themselves, how heavy was this seemingly unremarkable stone door? It actually made the ground shake.

How powerful were these few rune-masters who were controlling the rock runes?

Although the ability of runes was very powerful, it was not omnipotent. The strength that any rune-master could display when using runes, other than the level of the runes themselves, was also related to the rune-master's own strength, mental strength, physical quality, and so on.

Immediately after, there was a suitable low sound. The heavy stone door stopped moving, and the appearance of the green mountains finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The Divine Monument Garden was reflected in Lugh's eyes.

Although it was called a garden, it actually looked more like... A tomb.

The Divine Monument Garden really looked like a tomb, but it was incomparably grand. It was square and was surrounded by countless green pines and cypresses. Because of the cover of these trees, the examinees could not see the legendary stone monuments.

However, they knew that the Divine Monuments were in the forest within the green mountains. For a moment, everyone's faces revealed a devout expression.

"Go in."

After Soros said that, the examinees entered the garden one by one.

Clear tremors could be heard from the ground once again. Some people turned their heads to look, only to see the stone door slowly closing.

With a muffled sound, the Divine Monument Garden was once again isolated from the outside world.

Thousands of young examinees looked at the Divine Monument Garden in front of them. Their expressions were all different. Some were very nervous, some were looking forward to it, some were very silent, and some could no longer suppress the excitement in their bodies. They wanted to immediately try to communicate with the Divine Monument.

However, most of them had really big eyes. Only when they entered the garden did they realize how big it was inside. From the outside, they could only see a corner of the garden. Moreover, the forest had blocked too much of the scenery.

At this moment, a few men wearing simple and unadorned long robes appeared in front of them. Their expressions were indifferent. Their voices were also very calm, and their speaking speed was very slow. It was as if they rarely spoke.

Camia said, "These people are the legendary monument slaves."

"Monument slaves?" Lugh asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Elizabeth, who was at the side, nodded. Looking at Lugh's surprised expression, she knew that he definitely did not know what a monument slave was. But, with his lousy foundation, he really could not be ridiculed. She was already used to explaining all sorts of common sense to Lugh. She explained, "These monument slaves are actually the same as us. It's just that they are former examinees. Their obsession is so strong that they swore that they must light up all 108 steles, or else they will never leave the Divine Monument Garden."

Lugh was somewhat surprised. He thought to himself that spending his long life in the Divine Monument Garden would be too lonely. If he continued to fantasize about those men in long robes, his gaze would naturally be filled with pity.

Elizabeth looked at the expression on his face, she said with slight ridicule, "They are willing to devote their lives to the Divine Monument Garden. They don't need your sympathy. Moreover, who knows how many rune-masters in the rune world want to come to the Divine Monument Garden to comprehend these Divine Monuments. Who knows, they might be able to comprehend the runic profoundness of the ancient human ancestors from them and become an incomparably powerful rune-master from then on."

Lugh shook his head, still unable to understand the thoughts of these monument slaves.

In fact, the monument slaves had already very clearly explained the way the rune world viewed these people. The monument slaves were also the slaves of the Divine Monuments. The slaves didn't have freedom, didn't have rights, didn't have anything.

They were just a shell, a walking corpse.
