Chapter 938: Recording Stones

Chapter 938: Recording Stones

Riya didn’t understand.

There were some nagging questions on the back of her head that she could not understand so far.

In fact, there were a lot of questions left unanswered.

No one was here to answer their confusion.

They could only tread forward and try to figure it out with their limited knowledge and ability.

Riya herself didn’t know much.

To be honest, when she received the message at first, Riya was confused. She was the first person to advance to rank 7 on the Green Planet, so she was also the first person to receive this message.

And that message had clearly told her that they were all people who had been selected specifically.

Why them?

Are there no other people?

If it was only because of their talent, Riya felt that whoever chose them should have selected other people.

Because many of them have flexible moral bottom line.

Would they be willing to work with all they got in order to protect the Green Planet?

Riya knew that she would because she didn’t want to see the Green Planet be destroyed. Even though she couldn’t possibly do it for the sake of the whole world because she was not that selfless, she still has many important people on the Green Planet.

They might not be her blood relatives, but they were people whom she hoped to be able to stay alive and well for a long time.

But how about others?

From what she had heard about them, many of them didn’t look like people who would be willing to protect the Green Planet.

Those who had seen the grand magic beasts’ tide might still be moved to a certain degree.

But it was not impossible for them to prepare a backup escape plan.

Because if they didn’t treat the Green Planet as their important homeland, it was very likely for them to leave without hesitation when it was possible.

At that time, is it even possible to force them to protect the Green Planet?

Unless they were willing, it was difficult to force a powerful magicians and others to move in accordance of their wills.

‘Forcing others...’

Riya thought about the slave marks.

Slavery existed at some point of time in Afirer Kingdom, but it was abolished later on after the kingdom entered peaceful era. In the past, wars happened between various small kingdoms and those who lost would become the prisoners.

At that time, the slave marks were invented.

It was actually nothing more than runes restraint that would prevent them from using mana and aura. The level of the runes would adjust to the prisoners’ rank, preventing them from escaping.

And the strongest that this slave marks could restrain was up to rank 7.

Any higher, the restraint would weaken.

But since they would be unable to practice after being given the slave marks, it was practically impossible for anyone under rank 8 to be freed of this rune.

Because of its effect and impact, everyone was not allowed to learn and passed down the slave marks.

It was banned worldwide.

Some people still tried to dig the historical grounds, trying to find out about it.

If they were found, they would be punished heavily and so far, not many people dared to do something like that.

This could be a way to control others.

But it was full of limitations.

Perhaps, there would be other ways to make them have to fight those magic beasts, but Riya was actually quite doubtful about it. After all, she didn’t think that these returnees would be willing to be forced by others.

This was all for the future.

There was no point for her thinking so much.

Her main attention should have been on the formation in the study room that kept it intact and also prevent outsiders from entering.

Is she... not considered an outsider?

Riya was confused.

“Master, you recorded our mana or soul... if you do record our soul, how did you do that?” Riya asked in a low voice, seemingly asking someone yet she was the only person here.

As expected, this felt as if she was talking to herself.

Walking into the study room, Riya took a deep breath. She had the faint feeling that her master might have known something.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to set the permission for her to enter.

Because her body is different.

The only thing that remained the same is her soul.

As for her mana...

Riya was not entirely sure.

Her mana signature might have been different because this is a completely different body and different world.

She was conflicted, but Riya chose to stop thinking about it.

There was no point in thinking too much.

She walked to her master’s desk and then walked straight to the bookshelf behind it. There were many things here, but the most important thing was the box that her master had kept for a long time.

Riya remembered that her master said to her that this is a very important box and that only when the situation is important could they open it.

“It’s still here...”

Riya actually thought that her master will use the thing inside the box.

Because he said that it was for an emergency.

And the fact that the grand magic beast tide happened... isn’t that an emergency?

While confused, she still followed the operation that her master told her about how to open the box. Infusing mana and then blood...

Riya hesitantly cut a wound and dropped the blood and she saw the box opened.

Riya: “...”

So how did her blood could become the marks?

Or did her body remain the same when she came to this world?

This speculation was somewhat outrageous and Riya felt that if this was the case, she would have two parents and so on.

Pushing the thoughts away, Riya opened the box.

When she saw the content, Riya was stunned.

It was not some kind of weapons or scrolls but instead a total of 8 recording stones with one of them far bigger than the others.
