Chapter 9: The Ring

A cold touch, a "cold thread" like a stream of water, passes through the fingers all the way to the brain.

The whole person couldn't help but tremble a few times.

As this hint of coolness flowed into the brain, the entire brain calmed down in an instant, and a short message also flowed in.

Alka closed his eyes quietly, and the room was equally quiet late at night.

Except for the slight crackling sound of the flame burning in the oil lamp beside the bed.

After a while, I received all the extra information in my brain.

This ring is the magician's inheritance.

A true magician, this ring is teaching Alka how to become a magician.

The information that was instilled into the brain was all knowledge related to magicians.

In addition, the ring will also bring certain physical bonuses to Alka.

Improve the flexibility of fingers, simply improve his memory and memory efficiency, improve the flexibility of the body, and improve overall balance.

These are collectively referred to as the basic qualities of a magician.

Can feel it more obviously.

“Is this what supernatural power feels like?”

I couldn't help but feel excited. This was truly an experience that came from magical power.

After thinking for a while, he took out and placed it on the back of his right hand.

With the new knowledge, he flipped the silver coins between his fingers and rolled them left and right on the back of his hand.

It jumps and slides between each finger, finally stopping at the junction of the index finger and thumb, and then flicks it into the air.

He quickly caught it with his right hand and immediately spread out his palm, and the silver snake had disappeared.

He clenched his fist and extended his index finger, which pointed at the fist of his left hand. The palm of his left hand was open, and a silver snake was lying in the middle of his palm.

A very simple magic trick was performed.

The performance just now was not smooth, there was a lot of unfamiliarity, the movements were very stiff and it was not enjoyable to watch.

But this is Alka's first time performing magic.

“The moment this ring is put on, a person who has never been exposed to magic can become a magic apprentice.

If you practice diligently with the help of the ring, it won’t be long before you can become a real magician .”

"Even if you take off your ring."

Thinking of this, Alka treasured the ring even more.

"This is so interesting. Is this the magical supernatural power? Perhaps this power is natural and should be called extraordinary power."

The predecessor was just an ordinary person, and there was no magical power in the world. It only existed in entertainment works.

My current body has no memory of such a thing, but when I discovered that there was a magical power, it would cost me my life.

Now the magical power is in front of you and in your hands, ready for you to use.

This feeling, this excitement.

This makes Alka excited.

Just as he was excited, a chill flashed through his brain, as if telling him to stay calm.

……?

Can this thing keep people calm?

If you think about it carefully, a magician really needs to stay calm at all times in order to avoid being seen through and to give a pleasing performance.

Thinking of this, A-Ka took off the ring.

The strange feeling disappeared instantly, and the knowledge related to magicians that was previously available in the mind also disappeared.

Only the magic trick I just performed has been performed before, and the knowledge related to the skill is still in my brain.

He memorized this knowledge, but would forget it if he didn't practice it.

When he picked up the silver coin and tried to continue the performance, he immediately failed.

Without the finger flexibility brought by the ring, it is impossible to roll the coin on the back of the hand. It requires practice.

He picked up the ring and wanted to put it on again, then after thinking for a while, he put it on the thumb of his left hand.

My right hand is my dominant hand, and I have never had the habit of wearing rings in either of my previous lives. It feels weird to wear a ring on it, but it is much more comfortable when I wear it on the little finger of my left hand.

It won't affect much.

Pick up all these things on the bed .

The ring was put on the hand and the card and manual were put back into the wooden box.

"This thing is useless now, but it is very precious, so it must be hidden well."

After finding a good place to put the things, he turned around and looked at the remaining metal ingots.

This thing doesn't look like ordinary metal at all. After thinking about it, I put it next to the leg of the table and wiped off the dust.

It was just thrown casually into the corner under the table, like ordinary gravel.

Hide all the gold coins and the two gems.

After hiding it, Alka clapped his hands, nodded with satisfaction, turned off the oil lamp beside the bed, and lay down on the bed.

…

Early the next morning, Aunt Marcy pulled Alka up, holding her mother's body, and walked towards the center of the island.

Sigurd wanted to follow, but was hit twice by his mother, so he had to open his mouth to Alka with his mother's back turned.

Although Alka said nothing, she nodded.

He said he would go find him when the time comes and talk to him in detail about his treasure hunting story.

We passed through the golden wheat fields and arrived at the center of the island.

From a distance, you can see a huge rock about 20 meters high standing there.

After walking a few steps forward, you can see several stone buildings around the boulder.

The roofs of these buildings are painted wheat yellow and various reliefs are carved on them.

Next to it are densely packed graves, with round wooden stakes inserted into the graves one after another.

There are no such things as tombstones, and there are some ears of wheat placed in front of many graves.

Alka looked at the scene around him and recalled his memory.

This is the cemetery on the island, where most of the island's residents are buried.

But some can be buried, while others cannot.

At this time, the huge gray-black boulder was completely revealed in front of Alka.

A circle of stone platforms was built around the boulder, which seemed to be used for some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

You can see a gap at the bottom of the boulder that looks like a door.

At this time, an old man was standing on the stone platform, and Aunt Marcy took him over.

Then the two of them just stood there.

Only then did the old man turn around and slowly come to them. Alka looked at him.

He has medium-length hair that is gray and white. Although there are wrinkles on his face, they are still visible. He has a slightly tough face and a gray beard on his chin, which is growing in a messy manner.

His attire was not much different from that of ordinary residents, except that it looked a little more decent.

As he approached, Alka crossed his arms and placed his palms on his shoulders.

Aunt Marcy did the same thing.

The same is true for the priest in front of us.

"May the Stone Mother bless you."

Then the priest squatted down and picked up the bag containing the bones.

"Lisha's body?"

He directly revealed the origin of the corpse.

Alka was slightly surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

The priest looked a little strange when he heard Alka's question.

"Maybe it's because I was looking for you yesterday, too."

After saying that, he walked directly towards the stone platform.
