Druid Pittman's shout stunned Gawain, and he didn't even realize for a moment what the other party meant by the life reaction, and didn't realize until two seconds later that he was talking about the ball.

"When Amber was bounced off just now, a faint life response appeared within the sphere," Pitman repeated, carefully leaning over to the sphere, reaching out for a dry, crumpled leaf from his bosom, rubbing the petiole as he continued, "but the life response lasted for a moment and then disappeared again...... I've never seen such a peculiar phenomenon......"

Amber rubs her fart. The strand looked at the stone ball incredulously: "What the hell...... Is this really alive? ”

The faces of the three soldiers, who were still trapped on the stone ball, suddenly became even more nervous.

Gawain, on the other hand, was more suspicious of a non-druid's professional skills: "You can't be wrong, right?" ”

Pitman suddenly glared: "Impossible! I am a true druid, a professional from the School of Spirits of Nature, how could I go wrong in such a fundamental field! ”

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

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

Then he looked at Amber, "Last time you told someone which school I came from?" ”

Gawain: "......"

"Anyway, I can't be wrong with my induction," noticing that the atmosphere was really awkward, even with Pittman's face, he couldn't support it, so he could only change the topic stiffly, "No matter which school of druids, sensing life force is the foundation, and without this basic ability, you can't cast any druid spells...... And, you see, that's the proof. ”

As he spoke, he showed Gawain the dry and wrinkled leaf in his hand: the leaf had become full at some point, and was now in a verdant state, as if it had just been plucked from a branch.

"Although it looks lifeless on the surface, there is some form of life reaction inside...... "Pitman said very seriously and professionally as he walked around the stone ball, "It seems to be a very deep slumber, or maybe it is because it has not yet become a full form?" ”

Amber blinked, and she didn't know what thought was turning in her head, and suddenly a sentence popped up: "Wait, this can't be an egg, right?!" ”

"Eggs?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that if the things that the Gondor researchers had been studying for a long time in the mountains a thousand years ago were really eggs, then this matter would be particularly interesting, but then he became even more puzzled, "What creature's egg would be so big?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly had an idea, and casually answered: "Could it be a dragon egg?" ”

Amber and Pitman were silent for a moment, and the two of them looked at the big stone ball in the center of the tent with a look of horror and nervousness, while Gawain touched his chin and fell into an inexplicable state of entanglement - what kind of ancient terrier is this, after crossing another world to get a dragon egg or something, this routine was not popular for several years before he crossed over, and as a result, this prehistoric routine actually fell on his head?

But then he thought of other aspects - even if this is a dragon egg, God knows how long it will take to hatch, according to the legend of those dragons for tens of thousands of years, they are afraid that they will not have to incubate an egg according to the millennium, picking up a dragon egg is probably the number of ways to hatch for a lifetime, and their own life may not be enough, and they have to hatch eggs from generation to generation, and when they finally hatch out, the dragon father and mother came over and took it away, and they didn't necessarily say thank you when they left...... Maybe that's what dragons do?

But if you really want to count it in thousands of years, this "egg" is taken out of a thousand-year-old ruin, maybe it is about to hatch?

Probably because he suddenly came into contact with such a familiar routine, which caused some memories in the depths of his mind to be activated, Gawain just stood and fell into a state of serious distraction, and Amber next to him called him several times but did not respond, and finally Miss Half-Elf simply jumped up and hit her head on Gawain's chest: "Wake up!!" ”

"Puff—"

Gawain is not wearing armor now, and he was almost knocked out of breath when he was on the spot, and after he woke up, he immediately reached out and tugged at Amber's ear: "There is something wrong with you, so you hit people with your head so directly!" ”

"Nonsense, you left all the metal objects on my body before I let me in, and I need a warhammer in hand to hit my head?" Amber nimbly dodged Gawain's claws this time, and retorted with a straight face, "Why did you suddenly freeze just now?" ”

Although he wanted to ask the other party what he planned to do if he had a warhammer in hand, Gawain turned his attention back to the stone ball: "I was thinking if this thing really was a dragon egg...... How do you turn off this damn 'energy field'? ”

There are three other soldiers who are sucked here and can't move.

"Being able to manipulate the power of metal can affect the flow of magic, and legend has it that there is a subclass of dragons called metal dragons or 'earth dragons' that do have this ability," Pittman, who is half a scholar (the other half is a cook, a thief, an appraiser, and a fortune teller), touched his chin and began to fiddle with the knowledge in his mind that he didn't know if it was true or false, "If so, the odds of this thing being a dragon egg are indeed very high." ”

Gao Wen didn't expect that this old man really had something dry in his head, and showed an interested look: "Oh? Do you know how to put an end to this power? ”

"Then I don't know," Pitman said, spreading his hands before Gawain hits someone, "and even if he did, it wouldn't be useless—if this was really a dragon egg, how could I deal with it with my low-ranking druid skills?" The dragon is a legendary species, don't look at it as just an egg, the dragon is a creature that has the magic equivalent to a human mid-level law class when it is still an egg. ”

Gao Wen was dumbfounded: What does this ghost set mean by the anti-heaven setting, it is better to dare to love human beings for half a lifetime than to suffer from others. Essence. Eggs?

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." Gao Wen frowned and said, he knows how much water he has in this "legendary", although he has been getting more used to this body during this time, and is learning to master the abilities contained in his body and memory, but the long sleep is too much power after all, plus the combat experience is not his own, it is quite difficult to fuse, and the power that can be exerted in real combat may have to be discounted more, it may be okay to be the number one master in today's territory, but I am afraid that I will die halfway out of the novice village... …

What's more, the egg in front of you (assuming it's a real egg) is not at all an area that the knight's skill can handle.

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

The knight's abilities are indeed not as varied and convenient as the mage, and most of the skills that Gawain memorizes in his mind are used to draw knives and cut people, not at all like the mage, who has seven or eight flavors of a water-making technique alone, but he has to deal with the egg in front of him...... Maybe some basic abilities can come in handy.

Since this egg has both a life reaction and a ability to interact with magic, how about using magic to communicate with it?

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

But at the most basic level of perception, guidance, etc., there is not much difference between the use of magic between 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 a little nervously: they didn't know what method their lord was going to use to deal with this "stone ball", and they didn't know if their lives would become victims in the process, although the life and death of almost all civilians in this era were manipulated by the nobles, but at this time, they still couldn't help but get nervous.

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

Then he stopped caring about the reaction of the three of them, and instead concentrated on sensing the flow of magic.

Another "vision" came to his mind.

It was the distribution of mana within a certain range around him, although it was not as clear as what the mages "saw" in meditation, but it was still enough to indicate the flow of mana. He saw that there seemed to be an extremely thin layer of fog in the tent, and there were faint subtle flows in the mist, and there were several obvious "gathering points" in the mist, two of which were slightly stronger Amber and Pitman standing nearby, and three very faint clusters of magic gathered together, apparently the three ordinary soldiers.

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

It's a pitch-black black hole.

In the "field of vision" of magic perception, the center of the tent is as if the space has been dug out of thin air, it is pitch black without any reflection and no details, and there are only two possibilities: either the stone ball is a substance that should never exist in this world and has no magic power at all, or the stone ball actively blocks all magical effects against it.

The first one can be ruled out, because Hettie had sensed a magical reaction from the stone ball, and although it was strange and different from all known forms of magic, it did exist.

So this stone ball should have entered some kind of "self-preservation" state now?

Gawain guessed as he carefully guided his spirit towards the darkness.

Amber has already proven the strength of this layer of "self-protection" by probing the mine with his face, and too strong a stimulus is very likely to cause himself to be "bounced off" like Amber, so he must be careful and careful.

In this way, after making contact with extreme caution, he realized that he had not triggered the "bounce" of the stone ball.

didn't know that a "dragon egg" had the ability to communicate, and Gawain could only hold the mentality of giving it a try and constantly strengthen the idea of communication and exchange in his mind.

At first, there was no response.

But after a few seconds, he heard some buzzing sounds echoing in his head, and it wasn't an auditory hallucination.

This stone ball is whispering to itself.

Gawain's spirits suddenly lifted, and he almost lost the connection due to his turmoil, but soon he regained this fragile connection and sent his first greeting: "Hello, I have no ill will, you can call me Gawain." ”

And the mental fluctuations from the stone ball became clearer and clearer, and finally changed from a small whisper*** to a clear sentence, which was a metallic voice that could not distinguish between men and women: "Is it safe outside now?" ”

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

"If you don't believe me, get out."

Gawain: "......"
