Chapter 3 New Life
Kemia is now very depressed, extremely depressed. He and his three companions saw a flash of light in this forest a few days ago. They were very clear that there was no special situation or powerful demon beast in this small forest, so they walked in with a glimmer of hope. Because even if there was no gain, it didn't matter much, but if there really was some secret here that people didn't understand, then they would have made a profit. You know, the word "mystery" for adventurers like them represents money and honor.
After searching for two more days, they finally found this special place, a ruin that had never been seen before. Although it was only about 100 square meters in size, generally speaking, how could there be ruins here? And from the architectural style, it was an unprecedented building that had never been seen before today.
The four were overjoyed, thinking that the treasure was already beckoning to them, but after rushing in, they were attacked by two giant stone giants. The stone men were completely different from those recorded in the adventurer's records, although they were surprised, the four still managed to barely defeat the two not-so-powerful stone men.
After passing through the stone man's pass, they saw a locked room. After searching around, it was determined that this was the only intact room. Under the joint efforts of the four people, the stone lock on the door was smashed open and they walked in.
The room wasn't big, but at the very back there was a stone cabinet about two people high standing quietly, one of them excitedly rushed up to it, but immediately, all that could be heard was a loud explosion and countless flashes of light, and that companion fell down with his whole body charred black.
Kemia and the other two hastily pulled the man back, fortunately, his strong physique allowed him to survive. He picked up a stone, Kemia aimed at the front and threw it lightly.
Bang! Another flash of light, and the stone turned into a wisp of green smoke in mid-air.
"What's going on, Kemia?" one of the companions asked. Among the four, Kemia was not only the oldest but also the most experienced, and with his help, they had escaped danger many times.
Kamir's face looked like he had swallowed a few hundred poisonous bees. "Damn it, I should have noticed earlier. We might have entered a magician's study room."
"Magician!" The two of them gasped in unison. In this world, magicians were undoubtedly the most powerful humans. Not to mention these small-time adventurers, even nobles would show utmost respect when meeting a magician. It was said that if a magician reached the so-called fourth level of power, they would be recognized as nobility by any country. Now, if they really broke into a magician's laboratory, what they would face wouldn't be the terrifying magical powers, but rather the guillotine.
"Hey, boss, don't scare me! Would a magician really live in a place like this? Don't they all live in those high-end mansions or secluded places? Besides, even if it's true, a magician wouldn't possibly live in a ruin like this. And there's nothing here except for this stone cabinet, you must be mistaken!" one of them shouted out loud.
Kemia smiled wryly, "What you said is correct, but the flash just now was obviously the power of lightning in magic. And apart from a magician, I couldn't think of anyone who could create those two stone monsters at the door just now."
The three of them fell silent at once. "Well... what now?"
Ke Mia bit her teeth and said, "No way, we can only give up. If we continue like this, it's likely that we'll all die here."
"But...the treasure..." Another person was still hesitating.
"Don't hide anymore, if you're dead, no amount of money will be useful. Hurry up, carry Larl on your back, let's go quickly." Kemaya was about to squat down and lift the person who had been electrocuted by lightning and fainted, when suddenly a companion shouted "Quickly, look at the stone cabinet..."
"What!" Kemia hastily turned her head to look, and indeed, the stone cabinet began to shake. Under the astonished gaze of the three people, the top of the stone cabinet slowly opened.
A figure slowly stood up from the stone cabinet, although it was too far away to see her face clearly, but from that long soft black hair reaching down to her waist and the beautiful curves hidden under her white robe, it was clear that this was a young girl.
Kemia felt like his brain was about to crash, a place like this, a stone cabinet, and then a girl appeared, this, this was completely testing the limits of his tolerance!
Slowly opening his eyes, Gallo's consciousness was gradually recovering. His hands involuntarily covered his head "What happened, what's going on..." Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something and his trembling right hand stretched out in front of his eyes.
What a perfect jade hand, tender and ruddy, with slender fingers like jade, elegant and refined. The shape of the hand is similar to my own, but it's absolutely, absolutely impossible that this was my own hand before!
A strand of black hair floated in front of his eyes, without a single impurity, this enchanting black color that could completely absorb human willpower, he had only seen it once, and that was the artificial body made from Black Star Crystal!
His body began to tremble slowly, and Gallo's mind had already started to recall everything. The birth of the artificial body, the failure of the soul alchemy that led to the explosion, everything, he remembered it all.
"What...what's going on? The soul transfer failed, I should have already died, but now me...Could it be that my soul has entered this artificial body?! Or rather, I didn't transfer Ice Moon's soul in, but instead transferred my own soul in! How could this happen?! My efforts to revive Ice Moon completely failed?!"
"No!" In Komya's eyes, the girl who couldn't see clearly suddenly froze, and then, incredibly, she hugged her head and let out a very pleasant scream.
After a while, Jia Luo's trembling hands slowly came down, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
"Although I failed, I'm still alive. As long as I'm alive, saving my sister isn't just an empty promise. Humans have hope because they're alive. Besides, I've only failed once." Gallo adjusted his mindset and calmed down.
It wasn't until then that he became aware of Komiya and the others' presence. He slightly turned his head, peeking through the curtain of his long hair to look over at them.
At this glance, he was stunned for a moment. Among the four people on that side, one of them was completely black and fell to the ground, unconscious, which is fine. The other three looked at their hair color and eyes, which were not human-like at all, not from Earth.
The three of Kemia saw the strange girl turn her head, and although her face was still obscured by her long hair, the gaze that swept past from behind the curtain was a kind of pale gold color that they had never seen before, cold and without any emotion, making their hearts skip a beat.
He swallowed hard, and Kemia strained to make a sound "A...I'm sorry, respected magician miss, we, we didn't mean to intrude on your residence, that...that..." No matter what, he couldn't find a better excuse for himself.
Karlo's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, not only in appearance but also in language, which was absolutely not of this earth, although he didn't dare say that he understood all the languages on earth, but this pronunciation was absolutely wrong.
Moreover, there is another point, the air in this world and on earth are completely different. The air on earth is what you have been breathing for over a decade, but here it's filled with a special feeling.
But now it's too much trouble for me if I can't communicate, so I stretched out my foot and stepped out of the stone cabinet, walking towards the four people.
As soon as Kemia saw him, he hastily picked up his companion on the ground "Quickly, let's escape!" In any case, staying here was absolutely not a good idea.
Jia Luo saw that they wanted to escape, which was unacceptable. If they left, who would answer his questions? His right hand rose, five fingers aimed at the silhouettes of several people, slightly opening.
Suddenly, several thick stone bars appeared quickly on the ground. Kemia was surprised and drew out a long sword from behind her back to slash at them. The seemingly soft stone bars were unexpectedly tough and resilient. This sword only sparked a piece of fire.
Kemia was stunned, although he said that he was not strong among adventurers and had not even learned to wield aura, how could his one sword possibly fail to cut through such a thick stone? This moment of distraction immediately allowed the stone bars to tightly wrap around him, in just a few seconds, they were already fixed in place.
Kamia twisted her body, but she couldn't get away at all. As the girl got closer and closer, a sense of fear arose in his heart.
Ka Luo gently stretched out his finger, a faint white light appeared, and then slowly extended to the forehead of one of them.
Although this finger is so beautiful, in their eyes, it is no different from the sickle of death, just a way to kill.
Ka Luo's fingers touched the man's forehead, and a mournful howl burst out. The man's face suddenly turned extremely painful, but with his hands and feet tightly bound, he could only rely on his cries to vent this unbearable pain.
His fingers slowly retracted, and on top of them was a faint green glow. Kemia looked at the girl in front of him with fear, this ability completely beyond his expectations, he couldn't think of anything else, it was clear that under the opponent's power, life and death were no longer up to them to decide.
He pressed the blue glow on his forehead and Garro began to digest everything he had obtained.
Soul alchemy, memory transmigration.
That faint blue glow is the light of his memories, and although the soul's alchemy is powerful, it is also a benevolent force. Since memories are replicated, the life form that receives the transplanted memories will not be harmed in any way, at most, they might just have a headache for a while.
After digesting this person's memories for a few minutes, Gallo could only sigh bitterly. He hadn't estimated wrong; he was indeed no longer on Earth.
The continent of Carlino, this world is obviously called that way. The biggest difference between here and Earth is that it's a planet with 60% land and 40% ocean. The entire continent is divided into three parts, scattered in the north, southwest and southeast. Among them, the northern continent is the smallest, accounting for about 10% of the total 60%. The southwestern land is the largest, occupying 35% of the remaining 50%, and the remaining 15% is naturally the southeastern land area.
The land area has increased greatly, resulting in the emergence of countless mysterious areas. Moreover, this is a continent with mixed ethnicities, and humans are still the dominant species here, with a population of around 1 billion, which was the statistics from several years ago, mainly distributed in the two largest landmasses of Southwest and Southeast.
Apart from humans, there are many other races gathered in the far west of the southwest, the elves of the mystical forest, the beastmen of the northernmost part of the southeast, and the ice and snow tribe, dwarves and earth spirits that occupy the entire northern continent.
Of course, on the scattered islands of the world, there are still many other ethnic groups, the legendary dragon tribe, the Titan tribe that disappeared while guarding the mystery of the world, the legendary Tian tribe, and the extinct tribe hidden deep in the ground.
Garo raised an eyebrow at this, the information was completely something the person had overheard in a bar, and the possibility was really not high, but it was almost enough, after absorbing the other's language knowledge again, Garo nodded his head in satisfaction.
He turned around and came to the stone cabinet, gently stretched out his hand, took out a crescent-shaped hairpin, looking at this thing that had been stroked by himself for ten years, still couldn't help feeling nostalgic.
"Alright, it seems like everything has to start from scratch again. Hopefully this time, I won't waste another ten years of my life."
