Chapter 73 So Is This A Routine?

Druid Pittman's shout made Gawain stunned for a moment. He didn't realize what the other party's life response meant, until two seconds later—it was the ball.

"When the amber was bounced off just now, there was a faint response of life within the sphere," Pittman repeated again, and cautiously moved closer to the sphere, reached out and took out a dry and wrinkled leaf from his arms, while Rubbing the petiole, he continued, "But the life response disappeared in an instant... I have never seen such a peculiar phenomenon..."

Amber rubbed her ass and looked at the stone ball in disbelief: "What the hell... is this thing really alive?"

The three soldiers still trapped on the stone ball suddenly became more nervous.

On the other hand, Gawain was more suspicious of a certain Druid's professional skills: "You must have sensed it wrong, right?"

Pittman suddenly stared: "Impossible! I am a real Druid, a professional from the Spirit of Nature School, how could I go wrong in such a basic field!"

Gawain: "...Aren't you from the Heart of Forest School?"

Pittman was stunned: "Did you say that last time?"

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Amber: "Which school did you tell people about me last time?"

Gao Wen: "..."

"Anyway, my induction will not be wrong." Noticing that the atmosphere is so embarrassing, even Pittman's face can't hold it any longer, so he can only change the subject bluntly, "No matter which school of Druid, the induction of vitality is always It's the foundation, without this basic ability, you can't cast any Druid spells... and you see, this is the proof."

As he spoke, he showed Gawain the dry and wrinkled leaf in his hand: this leaf suddenly became full and full, and now it is in a state of verdant green, as if it had just been plucked from a branch. Same.

"Although it looks lifeless on the surface, there is some form of life reaction inside..." Pittman walked around the stone ball and said very seriously and professionally, "This seems to be a very deep sleep, and there are also Maybe it's because it hasn't become a complete form yet?"

Amber blinked, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his head, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Wait, shouldn't this be an egg?!"

"Egg?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, thinking that if the things that the Gondor researchers from a thousand years ago had been studying for a long time in the mountains were really an egg, then this matter would be particularly interesting, but then he even more Bewildered, "What creature's eggs are so big?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came up with an idea, and said casually: "Could it be a dragon egg?"

Amber and Pittman stopped talking for a moment. The two looked at the big stone ball in the center of the tent with horror and nervousness, while Gawain touched his chin and fell into an inexplicable tangled state-what kind of ancient stalk. Expand, get dragon eggs or something after crossing a different world, this kind of routine was not popular for several years before he crossed, and as a result, this prehistoric-level routine actually fell on his head?

But then he thought of something else - even if it was a dragon egg, God knows how long it will take to hatch. According to the legends of the tens of thousands of years of lifespan of those giant dragons, they are afraid of hatching an egg. It's not based on the millennium. Picking up a dragon egg is probably the number of ways to hatch it for a lifetime, and it may not be enough for one's own life. You have to hatch eggs from generation to generation. I just took it away, and I didn't necessarily say thank you when I left... Maybe this is the usual routine of the dragon?

But if you really want to count it in a thousand years, this "egg" was taken from a ruin with a thousand years of history, maybe it has already hatched?

It was probably because of the sudden exposure to such a familiar routine that some memories in the back of his mind were activated. Gawain just stood there and fell into a state of serious distraction.

Amber next to him called him several times, but he didn't get a response. In the end, Miss Half-elf jumped up and slammed her head into Gao Wen's chest: "Wake up!!"

"Uh--"

Gawain is not wearing armor now, and was almost knocked out of breath. After he woke up, he immediately reached out and tugged at Amber's ear: "What's wrong with you?

"Bullshit, you left all the metal objects on my body before letting me in. If I have a warhammer, do I need to hit my head?" Amber swiftly avoided Gawain's claws this time, and retorted confidently. "What happened to you suddenly stunned?"

Although he really wanted to ask the other party what he was going to do if he had a warhammer, Gawain still focused his attention on the stone ball: "I was thinking if this thing is really a dragon egg...how to put it The damn 'energy field' is turned off."

Three other soldiers were sucked in here and couldn't move.

"Being able to manipulate the power of metal can affect the flow of magic power. According to legend, there is a subclass of giant dragons called metal dragons or 'earth dragons' that does have this ability." As half a scholar (the other half is a cook, The thief, appraiser, and fortune-teller) Pittman touched his chin and began to play with the knowledge in his mind that he didn't know whether it was true or false. "If you really associate it this way, the probability of this thing being a dragon egg is indeed very high."

Gawain didn't expect that the old man was really a bit dry in his head, and showed an interested look: "Oh? Then do you know how to stop this power?"

"Then I don't know," Pittman spread his hands, and continued before Gawain hit him, "and it's useless even if you know - if this is really a dragon egg, it's just my low-level Drew. How could Yi’s ability to deal with it? The giant dragon is a legendary species, you don’t think it’s just an egg, the giant dragon has the magic power equivalent to the human middle-level legal profession when it is still an egg.”

Gao Wen was stunned: What do you mean by this ghost-defying setting? Is it better to have a fertilized egg?

At this time, Amber suddenly looked over: "Aren't you a legendary hero? Cutting a magister is like cutting beans, can't you handle it?"

"The abilities of knights and legal professions are different." Gawain said with a frown, he knew how much water he had in this "legendary class", although he had been getting more used to this body during this time, and was learning Master the abilities contained in the body and memory, but after all, the long slumber consumes too much power, plus the combat experience is not your own, it is quite difficult to integrate, I am afraid that there is more power that can be exerted in real combat. With a discount, it might be okay to be the number one expert in today's territory, but if you rush out of the novice village, you might die in the middle of the road...

What's more, the egg in front of me (assuming it's really an egg) is not a domain that knight skills can handle at all.

But after thinking about it carefully, Gao Wen decided to give it a try: "I'll give it a try first."

The abilities of knights are indeed not as varied and convenient as that of mages. Most of the skills that Gawain memorized in his mind were used to cut people with knives. It was not like mages had seven or eight flavors of water-making alone. But to deal with the egg in front of you... Maybe some basic abilities can also come in handy.

Since this egg has both a life response and an interaction with magic, why not use magic to communicate with it?

In this world where everything is driven by magic, any extraordinary profession understands the basic use of magic, and knights also use magic, but it is different from that of mages.

But at the most basic level of perception, guidance, etc., there is not much difference between the use of magic powers of knights and mages.

Gawain came to the stone ball and pressed his hand on its rough surface, and the three soldiers who were sucked on the stone ball suddenly turned their heads nervously and looked over: They didn't know what method their lord was going to use to deal with this." I don't know if my life will become a sacrifice in this process. Although almost all civilians' lives and deaths in this era are controlled by the nobles, they can't help but feel nervous at this time. stand up.

Gawain noticed the eyes of the soldiers, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm very stable."

Then he no longer cared about the reaction of the three, and instead focused on sensing the flow of magic power.

Another "vision" appeared in his mind.

That is the distribution of magic power within a certain range around him. Although it is not as clear as what the mages "see" in their meditation, it is still enough to indicate the flow of magic power. He saw that the tent seemed to be enveloped by a thin layer of mist, and there was a faint flow in the mist, and there were several obvious "gathering points" in the mist, two of which were slightly stronger. Amber and Pittman nearby, and three very weak magic groups gathered together, obviously the three soldiers who were ordinary people.

And what about the "stone ball" that was guessed to be a dragon egg?

It is a dark black hole.

Within the "vision" of magic perception, the center of the tent appears to be absolutely black as if a piece of space had been dug out of thin air. It is pitch black without any reflections or details. There are only two possibilities: either, the stone ball. It is a substance that should never exist in this world and has no magical power at all, or the stone ball actively blocks all magical effects aimed at it.

The first rule can be ruled out, because Heidi once sensed a magical reaction from the stone ball. Although the reaction was very strange and different from the known forms of magic, it did exist.

So this stone ball should now enter a state of "self-protection"?

While guessing, Gawain carefully guided his spirit and moved closer to the darkness.

Amber has proved the strength of this layer of "self-protection" by using his face to detect landmines. Too strong stimulation is very likely to cause himself to be "bounced" like Amber, so he must be careful.

In this way, after very careful contact, he found that he did not trigger the "rebound" of the stone ball.

Not knowing that a "Dragon Egg" does not have the ability to communicate, Gao Wen can only keep strengthening the idea of ​​communication and communication in his mind with the mentality of giving it a try.

At first, this did not respond.

But after a few seconds, he heard some humming sounds echoing in his head, and it was not auditory hallucinations.

This stone ball is whispering to himself.

Gawain's spirit was instantly lifted, and he almost lost the link due to his turbulent mood, but he soon re-stabilized this fragile connection and sent his first greeting: "Hello, I have no ill intentions, You can call me Gawain."

The mental fluctuations from the stone ball became clearer and clearer, and finally changed from a small whisper like a broken thought to a word that can be heard clearly, a voice with a metallic sound that could not distinguish between men and women. : "Is it safe outside now?"

Gao Wen suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to convey his sincerity: "It's very safe here, you can rest assured."

"Don't believe it, get out."

Gao Wen: "..."
