Chapter 74 What's Glowing

To be honest, Gawain had neither guessed the beginning nor the ending—he never thought that he would actually establish a connection with a ball, and he never imagined that the ball would be so underdrawn...

If it wasn't for someone watching at the scene, and he still had to maintain the image of a majestic ancestor, he would probably immediately slash the unlucky ball in half with a champion slash—although he didn't have the pioneer sword in his hand, But that didn't stop him from having this idea...

Efforts to calm down, Gawain resisted the urge to scold the street, and adjusted the ball in front of him from "a frightened cub in need of help" to "a bear boy who deserves to be locked in the laboratory for research", and then patiently With a temper, he said: "What's the benefit of me lying to you - the research facility that was used to imprison you has been abandoned for a thousand years, you know that for a thousand years?"

The ball was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then replied firmly: "You can't trick me out of my shell!"

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't believe you..."

"You can't trick me out of my shell!"

A blue vein appeared on Gawain's forehead: "It's your business that you like to stay in this shell! Let me go first!"

In the consciousness connection, the ball made a curious voice: "Your people? What people?"

Gawain was stunned by the other party's curious attitude that didn't seem to be fake: "Is it possible that you sucked my three soldiers on your body and still want to deny it?!"

The ball was silent for a longer time this time, and then shocked: "So there are still people on these steel plates?!"

Gao Wen: "..."

"The perception in the shell must have been affected!" The unfortunate ball simply admitted its mistake, and as its voice fell, only a click was heard, and the three soldiers immediately disarmed freed from the bondage and detached from the surface of the sphere.

They looked nervous and horrified. The first thing they did after landing was to rush to a place farther away from the ball, and then threw their armor, weapons and other metal objects on the ground.

Gawain immediately felt that the strange ball in front of him might be able to communicate, so he asked, "Why do you want to absorb these armors and weapons?"

Qiu replied confidently: "I can't find something to defend myself? God knows what other bad tricks you crazy savages have!"

"I said that the research facilities back then were long gone. I don't know what happened to the person who caught you back then..."

"You can't trick me out of my shell!"

Gao Wen: "..."

For the first time in his life, he lost so thoroughly in the confrontation with people's language, and what made the former keyboard powerhouse particularly frustrated was that he actually lost a ball.

If this ball is really a dragon egg, he even lost to a fertilized egg...

No matter what he said next, the stone ball suspected of being a dragon egg would never respond directly. Even if he was pressed, he would only reply "You never want to trick me out of my shell", which even made Gawain suspect this ball. Wouldn't the essence of it be a damn repeater.

And whatever its nature, communication cannot continue.

Gawain took his hand away from the surface of the sphere with a gloomy and eccentric expression, and at the same time ended his magic perception. He raised his head and saw Amber and Pittman both looking at him curiously.

Amber just watched helplessly as the three soldiers were liberated shortly after Gawain made contact with the ball, and then Gawain's face turned blue and white for a while, and entered the Outer World Mode, which made the half-elf lady think this The 700-year-old old zongzi is about to die again because of the excessive use of magic power and the power out of control. In the past few minutes, she has been at war between heaven and man, and she has struggled for a long time whether she should run out immediately, shouting and distributing her luggage, or now put Gawain's body valuable. He grabbed all the things he had and ran away... As a result, before the inner struggle was over, Gawain "revives his soul".

And look very angry.

This made Amber, who was a thief with a guilty conscience (no mistake), immediately broke into a cold sweat, and even spoke an octave lower: "You...Are you all right? Just now I saw your face changed so fast, I thought I was going to explode..."

"I have established a communication with this ball," Gawain gritted his teeth a bit, so much that he didn't even notice Amber's abnormal attitude, "This thing... is actually sensible!"

"Sanity?!" The one who was most surprised was not Amber, but Druid Pitman next to him. The little old man threw himself to the side of the ball almost at once, but hesitantly didn't dare to put his hand on it - the legendary knight was fine if he touched it, What if he, a Druid of the highest third level, succeeded in his death, "How can a dragon egg have wisdom?! That is to say... the dragon can think when it is still an egg? This is simply It's... the most incredible thing, a mystery that no scholar or druid in this world has ever discovered!"

"No, I'm still not sure that this thing is a dragon egg." Gawain hurriedly corrected next to him. He still couldn't believe that such a routine thing would happen to him, but his correction was useless: Pittman has fallen into an inexplicable excitement, and has begun to plan to write this new discovery into a book and sell it to the Holy Dragon Duchy in the north.

If he really dared to sell this kind of non-existent "research results" to those fanatics who worship dragons, I am afraid that Gawain would have to hire a new Druid, but fortunately, Pittman did not have the money to print books , and there is no money to go through the entire Ansu and the northern mountains to go to the Principality of Shenglong to do sales.

Since the stone ball has refused to accept any contact, Gawain had no choice but to keep throwing this thing here, but in order to prevent this "Dragon Egg" that can manipulate metal and affect the flow of magic power to a certain extent, he The original "containment measures" were changed: all metal objects within and outside the tent were removed within a range of tens of meters; a circle of obsidian plates was placed around the sphere to block the magic; strong ropes were used to bind the sphere layer by layer, and thick The stakes hold it to the ground; tell Stone Ball he's going to buy some oranges...

No one understands the last step.

While arranging all this, Gawain also told Hetty, who had been waiting outside, about the entire process of communicating with the ball.

Surprisingly, Hetty, who has always been mature and practical, also suspected that the ball was a dragon's egg.

Is this way of thinking so popular in this other world?

"This 'Dragon Egg' was probably stolen by the magisters of the ancient Gondor Empire," Heidi said his inference after listening to Gawain's description, "I heard that the giant dragon did indeed once land on the mainland thousands of years ago. It has appeared on the Internet, and the Duchy of Giant Dragon has recorded this - although those who fanatically worship giant dragons have always been rambunctious when it comes to the topic of dragons, they are indeed the most eloquent about when and where the giant dragon appeared in the world. Reliable recorder. This time point corresponds to the construction age of the ruins.

"And according to the attitude of the 'Dragon Egg' towards humans, the magisters of the Gondor Empire obviously took unsightly means in the process of obtaining this egg - and they were not very friendly in the process of treating the dragon egg afterwards. "

"That's right, it's all thrown on the test bench, how friendly can it be," Gawain curled his lips, "I suspect it has been sleeping since then, probably because the mages of the Gondor Empire used something The method suppressed its activity, because the 'egg' has no memory of the passage of thousands of years. And we took it out of the ruins... I am afraid that it broke the ban left by the magister a thousand years ago."

"What are you going to do with it?" Hetty asked cautiously, "If it's really a dragon's egg... we can't take it lightly. Legend has it that dragons are a very vengeful race, and they don't care about their own eggs. Pay special attention, the magisters of Gondor a thousand years ago may not have been very afraid of the dragon's revenge, but we are different today. And in those dragons' eyes, I am afraid that it is impossible to tell the difference between us and the human beings a thousand years ago. "

Almost no one has seen the real body of the giant dragon, but there is no shortage of descriptions about the giant dragon. Regarding their temperament, classification, preferences, and even recipes, there are countless professional books on this continent. Part of it is the account of folk dragon experts from all over the world, and the other part is from the Holy Dragon Principality in the north. The latter is an icefield aristocrat who claims to be a descendant of dragon blood. They use a lot of gorgeous and scary words to describe the "dragon" in their minds. Ancestors”, and Hetty chose to believe the most dangerous part of the description.

Gao Wen touched his chin: "Also... let it hang out there for a few days, don't let anyone disturb it, first let it believe that no one is looking for it for experiments, and then I will find a way to build trust."

After saying this, he couldn't help yawning a long yawn, the sleepiness of being woken up in the middle of the night and the exhaustion caused by his high concentration suddenly overwhelmed him: "Yawn... let's do this today, Everyone is tired from the tossing in the middle of the night, except for those who are on duty at night, everyone else should go back to rest."

The gathered people dispersed one after another, Amber also yawned and took a shadow step and disappeared from everyone's sight. Gawain finally looked back at the "Dragon Egg Tent" stared by the soldiers from afar, shook his head, and turned towards himself. 's tent.

After entering the camp, he sat on the bed but did not sleep immediately, but habitually focused, calling out the "magic image" looking down from the air in his mind.

After confirming that the energy distribution on the magic imaging map did not fluctuate too much, there was no high-energy response in the vicinity, especially near the "Dragon Egg", and no new alarms were sent from the satellite, so he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to sleep.

But just before he lay down, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a faint gleam in the dark tent.

Gawain rubbed his eyes to confirm that this was not an illusion, and that the faint light came from the big basket next to the desk.

Those are waste products refined during Rebecca's "burning cement" process, some hardened substances with no apparent effect.

Gawain leaned over curiously, and saw a little bit of light shining in the hardened matter.

The light is faint, but it looks like a group of stars.
