"Um, who are you people?" Jiang Fei asked, speechless. He did not expect Caleras to be a thief, but he did not expect to be ambushed as soon as he came out.
"Don't waste your time, Caleras. You won't be able to escape this time." The beautiful woman did not reply. She waved her hand and said to the people beside her, "Take him down!"
"Yes, sir!" The warriors on both sides rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Fei without any hesitation.
Jiang Fei did not resist. Although he could easily wipe out these people in front of him with his Spirit attack, his body was too fragile. It would be a pity if he was killed by a stray arrow.
Moreover, since Jiang Fei could return to the Legacy Space at any time, he was not afraid of being caught, so he did not resist.
"Hmph! You know what's good for you! " The beautiful woman came in front of Jiang Fei, then put her face in front of his and said, "You're really brave. You even dare to steal the Queen's treasure!"
As she said that, the beautiful woman's hands were not clean. She directly hit Jiang Fei's lower abdomen with her elbow.
"Ugh …" Jiang Fei let out a muffled groan. This host was too weak. It was really painful to take a hit from the beautiful woman.
"You little brat, you really are a troublemaker …" Jiang Fei muttered to himself. He did not expect that he would have to suffer for Caleras after he died.
"Take him away!" The beautiful woman did not give him any chance to explain. She immediately ordered her subordinates to take Jiang Fei into the forest.
"Where are these guys going to take me?" Jiang Fei muttered to himself. Although he had obtained a lot of information and knowledge from Caleras's memories, other than learning the language and some general knowledge, Jiang Fei still did not know anything else.
About half a day later, Jiang Fei was brought to the foot of a large tree. The tree was so huge that it was beyond Jiang Fei's imagination. The diameter of the tree was at least the size of a city. Such a huge tree must be extraordinary.
Bang, bang, bang … The beautiful woman knocked on the tree trunk three times. After a while, a part of the trunk automatically split open, forming a door.
After that, the beautiful leader took the lead and walked in, followed by her subordinates.
After entering the interior of the tree, Jiang Fei discovered that it was a completely different world. There were crisscrossing streets and hollowed-out wooden houses. These houses were not man-made at all, but grew from the tree itself.
Along the way through the bustling streets, those people led Jiang Fei past several city walls guarded by soldiers, and then entered a heavily guarded castle. Everything Jiang Fei saw, whether it was the houses, the castle, or the city walls, were all grown from the inside of the tree. This magical landscape made Jiang Fei gasp in amazement.
"Take him to the cell. It's better than letting him escape. I'm going to see Her Majesty," the beautiful leader said to her subordinates, then turned around and left.
"Come here, behave yourself!" A few soldiers pushed and shoved Jiang Fei to a place that looked like a prison cell. Although everything was made of wood, the wood was very sturdy. Even if the carrier that Jiang Fei was using now had a little bit of strength, it would not be able to break free.
"Let me tell you, kid, your good days are over!" A soldier pushed Jiang Fei in and then closed the door.
"Sigh …" Jiang Fei sighed, then pondered whether he should meet the queen or leave now. If he wanted to enter the Legacy Space, no one could stop him.
While thinking about whether to leave, Jiang Fei subconsciously glanced at the prison cell. Very soon, he found that he was not the only person imprisoned in this cell. In the corner of the cell, there was an old man with white hair and a beard. However, this old man also had thin and long ears like the people here.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be captured too," the old man said to Jiang Fei with a smile.
"…" Jiang Fei was confused. This old man obviously knew him, but in Caleras's remnant memories, there was no information about this old man.
"What's wrong, kid? You've grown up, and you don't even recognize your teacher anymore?" The old man sneered.
"Err …" Jiang Fei was even more embarrassed. This old man was probably Caleras's teacher, but Caleras was already dead. Right now, the old man was just borrowing his body.
"I told you, kid, that ability of yours might not be a good thing. How about it? Now you're out of luck, aren't you?" The old man said to himself, completely ignoring Jiang Fei's embarrassment and confusion.
"Back then, when I was adventuring, I came across an ancient book that recorded things about this Space of yours. This Space is not as simple as you think it is. It is also a path to another world. So, I warned you more than once not to use it, not to use it, but in the end, you didn't listen. Now, look at you, you've wasted your life for nothing," the old man said to himself.
"…" Jiang Fei stared at the old man. He did not know what the old man meant by this. Was it because Caleras had stolen something from the queen and was about to die, or was it because he realized that Caleras was no longer the original Caleras and knew that his apprentice was dead?
"Alright, I know you're confused now. You're right, I know that my unlucky apprentice is already dead. You're just borrowing his body now," the old man said as if he could read Jiang Fei's mind.
"Hehe …" Jiang Fei laughed. Since the secret had been exposed, he was actually calm.
"That apprentice of mine, he was just disobedient. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this …" The old man sighed, then asked Jiang Fei, "Now, can you tell me, which universe are you from?"
"Huh?!" Jiang Fei was stunned for a moment. The old man's question was very mysterious!
"Haven't you noticed that the place you are in now is no longer in the same universe as the world you came from?" the old man asked.
"How do you know that I'm not from here? Even if I'm not a creature of this planet, I could still be a creature of another planet in this universe," Jiang Fei said.
"Because your arrival has been recorded in ancient books as early as 100,000 years ago. When I was still young, before Caleras was even born, I already knew that you would replace him today," the old man said as he stroked his beard.
"What?!" Jiang Fei was really shocked this time. It seemed that this world that he had accidentally entered was really related to him! Was the person who left behind the ancient books the same person who created the Mercury Man?
