Ebert held the jade pendant full of unknown power, with mixed feelings in his heart. He realized that the place he came to was not the ancient India in the simple history books, but a more fantastic and dangerous world - a world where magic and technology were intertwined, but full of strict hierarchies.
What he saw, heard, and experienced was far beyond his knowledge.
He walked in the vast forest. The tall trees reached into the sky, and the dense branches and leaves blocked the sky. Only mottled light spots fell on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, forming strange spots of light. There is a moist and sultry atmosphere in the air. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants grow freely in the forest, exuding rich aromas. Some are refreshing, while others are nauseating.
In the distance, the roars of wild beasts can be heard from time to time, reminding Ebert that this is not a paradise, but a wild and dangerous place.
He continued walking along a path that could only accommodate one carriage. The path was rugged, paved with gravel and dirt, and lined with towering giant trees. Their branches and leaves were intertwined together, like natural barriers, isolating everything from the outside world.
As Ebert walked, he recalled the scenes he had seen in the statue before, as well as the fragments of words he heard from the two magicians, trying to piece together a more complete picture of the world.
He understood that in this era, magic was not an out-of-reach myth or legend, but a real system of power. Magicians are the controllers of this power. They are high above ordinary people, enjoying lofty status and endless wealth.
In this world ruled by magicians, there is a strict hierarchy similar to the caste system.
At the top are the "Brahmins", who are the owners of magical power, possess unimaginable power and dominate the fate of this world.
Followed by the "Kshatriyas", they are warriors and rulers, responsible for maintaining order and defending the country. Although they have no magical power, they possess powerful force and political power. They are the ruling class second only to the Brahmins.
Further down are the "Vaisyas", who are businessmen, farmers and craftsmen. They rely on their own labor to create wealth for society and are the backbone of society.
At the bottom are the "Sudras", who are servants and slaves. They have no rights and status and can only obey the rule of the upper class and live a hard life.
The two magicians that Ebert met before obviously belonged to the top "Brahmin" class. They possess powerful magical power, and they do not hesitate to fight and even kill each other in order to compete for a treasure called "Gravity Power".
Ebert didn't know what the "magical power of gravity" was, but he could feel that that treasure must have extremely powerful power. Otherwise, the two magicians would not be so crazy about getting it. it.
"Why did I come to this world?" Ebert looked at the unknown road ahead, his heart full of confusion.
He didn't know how long he had been walking or where he was. He only knew that he had to find a safe place as soon as possible to figure it all out and find his way home.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the female magician whom he had forgotten by the pool.
"How is she now? Is she still alive?" A strong uneasiness suddenly surged in Ebert's heart.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go back and take a look.
