To be honest, this metal egg hatched from the stone egg is indeed quite bright, it looks slightly smaller than before, but it is still about one meter three in diameter, its surface is pure silvery-white, extremely smooth like a mirror, the smooth spherical surface even has a feeling of industrial precision polishing, it just floats in the air less than half a meter from the ground, and from the sphere there is a bb mixed with metal trill: "I will never accept this name!" Dandan, is that a name? Keep your eyes open and see what kind of egg I am - and when did I say I was an egg?! ”

"We always thought you were a dragon egg...... Rebecca circled the metal ball like a curious cat, and occasionally dared to poke it with her staff (the ball didn't react to it), "I didn't expect you to hatch out of the egg as an egg...... Isn't the egg of the egg the ball? ”

The metal ball buzzed and vibrate, and the voice sounded angry: "You're just hatching an egg!" Your whole family is called Dandan! I've always been like that, and we've all been like that since we grew up! ”

Gao Wen held back the convulsions of his face, and forcibly used countless years of satellite refinement to suppress the tendency of the collapse of the three views, he struggled to maintain his sanity and composure, and tried to communicate with the metal egg in front of him: "You just said that you are the whole clan? There are many more ...... like you Creatures? What the hell are you ...... What the? Why have I never seen a strange life like you? ”

Whatever the ball was, it was unlikely to be a dragon, but Gawain was certain that he had never heard of such a strange life form in this world, if it really were. The form of this metal sphere was completely different from all the creatures in this world, and if it really evolved naturally in this land, then it and its race could not have hidden the eyes of Gawain, who had hung in the sky for countless years.

Unless it occurs during those time periods of Gawain's "fragments".

Yuanqiu heard Gawain's question, but he didn't cooperate much: "You have my secret, I'm not sure if I can trust you barbarians - and you have to make your name clear first, and you can't call me Dandan......"

"Do you have a name of your own?" At this time, Hetty asked curiously beside her, which was to the point.

"Name...... Oh, I should have a name," the metal egg struggled to think as it stood still in the air, "Mom...... Forgot. ”

Everyone: "......"

Gawain: "You don't remember your name, what's wrong with someone calling you?!" ”

The tone of the metal ball suddenly became particularly shy: "Then I don't call Dandan anyway." ”

The green tendons on Gao Wen's forehead couldn't help but pop out again: "Could it be that I have to call you St. Nicholas Egg?" ”

The metal ball was stunned for a moment, and then swayed from side to side with satisfaction: "Oh? That's a good name......"

Gawain felt that communicating with this ball was literally costing his life at a rate of three times, and he also remembered that there was a lot of trouble out there that needed to be dealt with by himself right now, so he shook his head: "Okay, all in all, you stay honest for another day, we just experienced a monster attack, and I have to deal with a whole bunch of subsequent troubles - I don't want you to add more mess to me during this time." ”

The metal egg landed slowly, lying in the pit where it had been before: "Okay, okay, you're busy, I'm too lazy to run around - I almost didn't get tired of a ball today......"

Gao Wen glanced at this silver-white "giant egg" with some suspicion, and doubted whether this guy could really be quiet and quiet, but considering that this guy had also experienced a thrilling and failed "escape" to get home just now, it is estimated that it will not try a second time in a short time, so I will believe it.

If you don't believe it, there's still a lot to deal with in the camp, and you can't spend all your time messing with a ball.

The group left the tent, and Hetty couldn't help but glance back at the tent curtain that had been re-tied before leaving: "Let's just put that ball like that?" ”

As a mage and a researcher, Hettie has an endless interest in the unknown, and a floating, talking metal ball is definitely more "unknown" than any kind of "unknown" she has encountered in her life. To be honest, if it weren't for the responsibility and the fact that the ball was likely to be uncooperative, she would have wanted to transport the ball to her lab right now - she could study it for more than half a month in one go.

Let's not talk about slicing, at least you have to drill into the eyes to see what kind of stuffing is inside......

Gawain now has some understanding of Hetty, and he can tell what the eldest granddaughter is thinking by looking at her expression, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head: "It's no longer a stone that stays still, it can move and think, and it looks like its athletic performance is not bad, and it has the talent to manipulate metal and magic, and it doesn't have any benefit to forcibly control it, not to mention that it may not be able to control it, so it's better to let it take the initiative to cooperate." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers standing guard not far away.

The soldiers were still on the cordon ten meters around the tent, as they had been instructed to do - it wasn't certain if that distance was outside of the metal control of the Nicholas egg, but it was somewhat reassuring to the soldiers.

"Of course, it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance," Gawain said, "and replace the militia with family soldiers, but still monitor from afar." Tell those soldiers in advance that the sphere in the tent is a magic device that stores ancient souls, so that they don't have too much contact and communication with the sphere, and if the ball really runs around, let them report it to the top as soon as possible, and don't have a conflict - although the ball is cowardly, when it jumps up and smashes people, it is even a distortion one by one, and ordinary soldiers can't stop it at all. ”

"What the hell do you think that ball is?" Hetty frowned and asked, "It'...... Could it really be a magical creation of the ancient Gondor Empire? ”

After the "dragon egg hypothesis" was ruled out, Hetty couldn't help but think of this direction - in this world, the legacy of Gondor and the legend of the dragon have many similarities, for example, they are both suitable for explaining things that cannot be explained, and their function is similar to that of earthly metaphysics......

"The Gondor Empire isn't omnipotent," Gawain shook his head, "Not even the Arcanists and Puppeteers of the Starfire Age could create magical creations of this level of intelligence. ”

But he didn't say the other half of the sentence: let alone the magical artificial intelligence experts of the Gondor Empire, even every kingdom, every civilization, and every race that was active on this continent before the Gondor Empire had never appeared in an intelligent creation of this level.

Gawain didn't dare to completely rule out the possibility that the orb was "artificial" at the moment, but at least, he was sure that the orb was not the creation of any of the races on the continent.

In fact, he was more inclined to think that the ball really came from some strange intelligent race outside of human cognition.

I just don't know how it came to this continent......

Hearing Gawain's answer, Herty lowered her head slightly and fell into deep thought, while the druid Pitman next to him still remained silent, in fact, he suddenly stopped talking from the time he was in the tent just now, and his face was still full of confusion and frustration, which made Gawain couldn't help but look at him twice: "You also have questions?" ”

"Why is that egg still an egg when it hatches......" the old druid's eyebrows almost tangled together, "why isn't it a dragon egg?" ”

Even Amber couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you so obsessed with dragon eggs!" ”

The little old man grabbed his beard: "Dragon eggs! It's a dragon when it hatches! Do you know how much you can exchange for a scaly or a little blood? Even if I can't exchange money, I will directly carry a young dragon to the Holy Dragon Principality, at least come back with a field earl! ”

"With your thoughts, you will have to be hanged at least forty times if you throw it into the Holy Dragon Principality," Gao Wen glared at the little old man, "There is a lot of effort to think about this, tell me how the wounded are doing." ”

The little old man twisted his beard vigorously, and let go of the topic with a sigh: "Alas...... Well, if it's not a dragon egg, it's not a dragon egg. Don't worry too much about the wounded, I've already sent me all the best potions I can make, and the more serious ones have also been treated with magic, so I can guarantee that there will be no more serious injuries and deaths. To be honest, this is a miracle, I thought that even if your bold plan worked, the guards of the camp would have to die, but I didn't expect that most of them were wounded, and none of them died. ”

"You underestimated the equipment of the ancient Gondor Empire," Gawain shook his head, "It was very difficult for soldiers in that era to die. ”

The little old man glanced at Gawain, and said nonchalantly: "Then you had better have a sense of crisis, I listened to the chat between the two knights of your family, most of the armor and battle crystals on the soldiers have been damaged in the battle, and those things seem to be unable to be repaired and recharged." Although you save your life, you can't save the equipment itself, and at this rate of consumption, it won't be long before you have to sit and eat. ”

"Don't worry, we've got better weapons," Gawain smiled and looked in the direction of the camp, "more importantly, with better ideas." ”

This time, it was Amber who spoke: "You mean those burst crystals you used to blow up cliffs and create traps?" ”

Gawain nodded slightly.

"Well, those crystals are really powerful, but it's not realistic to solve everything with them alone," Amber shook her head, "They are too restrictive to use, and they lack a safe way to detonate, let me tell you, I almost didn't die when Hetty detonated it, I was in the Shadow Realm, and I was blown by the shockwave several times - then I have to sue, your big big granddaughter has only a shield for herself......"

Hetty, who was walking behind Gawain, immediately glared at Amber.

Gawain didn't notice the half-elf and Zeng Zeng...... A small spark between his great-granddaughter, he just smiled and looked into the distance, on the horizon, the giant sun was slowly sinking, and the clouds in the sky and the light diffused around the sun wheel were extremely brilliant.

Anything is defective when it first appears.

Now that the crisis of aberrations has receded for the time being, it is time to focus on addressing these deficiencies.
