Gawain was woken up by movement outside in a dazed state of sleep.

The sound of the soldiers running and shouting woke him up from his sleep, mixed with shouts such as "the stone ball is alive", and it sounded like a few footsteps running in the direction of his tent, Gao Wendang, who had not been asleep deeply, even if he woke up, grabbed his clothes and draped them on his body, and shouted outside: "What happened?!" ”

Knight Philip's voice came from outside the tent: "My lord - the stone ball you brought back is a little wrong! ”

What does it mean that something is wrong?

The usual shrewd and capable young knight used such a vague description, and Gawain immediately realized that the situation might be quite complicated, so he quickly tidied up his clothes, took the Pioneer Sword that he always had at hand, and opened the tent door and walked out of the tent.

It was still two hours before dawn, and there was no sign of any light in the sky, but the braziers and torches burning everywhere kept the camp from being completely covered in darkness. As soon as Gawain walked out of the tent, he felt a shadow writhing suddenly at his feet, and then amber emerged from the shadow—Miss Half-Elf had not had time to change into her usual leather armor, but was wearing a light regular dress, and she was out of the shadows while shouting, "What's the matter, I'm asleep here...... Oops, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I......'m stuck, I

Gawain dragged Amber by the back of her neck in a cold sweat and lifted her out of the shadow, feeling that the other party was as light as a cat: "You Shadow Master can still be stuck in your own Shadow Walk?" ”

"Isn't that a bit of a rush and haven't woken up yet," Amber looked a little embarrassed and quickly shifted her embarrassment, "What's wrong?" ”

"The stone ball I brought back seems to be out of order," Gawain said casually, motioning for Knight Philip to lead the way, while he led Amber after the knight and soldier, "Let's go and see what is going on." ”

When Amber heard this, she yawned: "Ah, I'm going back to sleep......"

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was taken away by Gawain in his armpit.

The free-standing tents on the south side of the camp had been surrounded by soldiers and militiamen, and a circle of people had formed a defensive line within a dozen meters of the tents, and the burning torches had made the area as bright as day, while the civilians in the southern part of the camp had been awakened by the movement here, but almost no one dared to come out of the tents to check the situation: most of them were just trembling in their tents, poking their heads out to take a look.

Because Amber struggled more intensely, when Gawain arrived with this half-elf, Hetty was already on the scene, she sketched magic runes in the air, and set up a weak protective barrier in the area around the tent, and when she saw Gawain, she couldn't help but be a little shocked on her face: "Ancestor, you are ......"

Gao Wen put Amber down with his hand: "This guy is more sensitive than us at night, but she doesn't want to come herself." ”

Amber jumped to her feet and protested: "I don't take you like this!" You almost strangled me! ”

However, no one listened to her protests......

"How's it going inside?" Gawain looked in the direction of the tent and noticed that there was an uninhabited barrier between the tent and the defensive line, as if it would be very dangerous to get close to the stone ball, "There are casualties?" ”

"There were no casualties, but there were two militiamen and a soldier trapped inside," Hetty's face was strange, "yes...... Suck it. ”

"Suck it?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, "Is it like a magnet that attracts metal?" ”

"Similar, but weird," Hetty said, "At first, the militia on night duty noticed that the magic equipment on their bodies suddenly lost their magical power, and then their weapons and armor were attracted to the stone ball, but not all the metal was sucked, and the stone ball seemed to have a choice, and some people walked near the stone ball in full armor without being affected...... I wasn't sure what else had changed with the thing, so I didn't allow anyone to go inside for the time being, except for the druid named Pittman who was in the tent checking on the three trapped people. ”

Selectively attracted? Also affects the magic? It's not like a magnet at all.

Gawain groaned for a moment, casually untied his Pioneer Sword and handed it to Knight Philip next to him, and patted Amber on the shoulder: "Let's go in and have a look—you leave all the metal on your body." ”

"For ...... Why should I go too? Amber suddenly looked stunned, "Shouldn't a knight like you go first in such a dangerous situation?" ”

"yes, so I'll go ahead in a moment, and you follow," Gawain nodded, "unless you don't want this month's salary." ”

Amber gritted her teeth and threw the metal objects she was carrying on the ground with an open expression - two small daggers, two amulets, a small pendant, and the pocket watch of the old butler of Viscount Andrew's house in Tanzania next door......

Anyway, she hasn't returned this thing to anyone yet?!

Gawain's gaze swept over his pocket watch, and finally stared directly at Amber, until the latter looked creepy before he spoke, "Where's the money bag?" ”

Amber suddenly hugged her waist in horror: "This is absolutely not good!" ”

Gawain continued to stare at her.

After a few seconds, Amber finally reluctantly pulled out her money bag, and then counted it over and over again, before finally handing it to Philip Knight next to him: "I'll tell you, I've counted it all!" If only one less ...... when I get back."

"I swear by the honor of a knight! Defend what others have given me! The young knight immediately straightened his chest and said loudly, but Amber was startled: "Hey, you don't have to shout so loudly, in fact, there is not much money in it......"

"Ancestor, I'll ...... with you" Hetty took a half step forward, but was stopped by Gawain, he looked into Hetty's eyes and said, "You and Philip are guarding here, that ball may affect the flow of mana, and it won't be useful if you get close." ”

Hetty nodded, bowed down, and said, "Then be careful." ”

Gawain sighed in his heart: What a good person. Wife's attributes...... When is it time to ask her when she plans to get married?

Thinking out of tune in his mind, Gawain walked towards the tent with Amber with an expression of imminent enemy.

After using the danger perception in front of the tent to confirm the situation inside, and roughly judging that there were no factors enough to threaten him, Gawain carefully opened the curtain.

The first thing he saw was the large ball placed in the center of the tent, which looked unchanged, still in the shape of a stone, but around the stone ball was comically plagiarly attached to three heavily armed men.

A militiaman, a militia captain, a regular soldier.

He also saw the figure of the little old man, who was indeed here to take care of the trapped soldiers, as Hetty said, and when Gawain opened the curtain, the little old man was crouching in front of the militia captain and spoke kindly: "...... So you're obviously moldy, don't really try our Druid's transit ritual? ”

"The Druids have a fart transfer ritual, don't fool my soldiers here," Gawain strode into the tent and glanced down at the three soldiers, "Who was the first to get trapped?" ”

The three soldiers who were sucked on the stone ball were already in a very frustrated and nervous state, and then there was a chattering little old man here to sell them the transfer ceremony, which had basically reached the critical point of mental explosion, and Gawain's sudden appearance suddenly alleviated all this. In any case, the inspiration that the legendary-level pioneer knights can give them is huge (although this legend himself only knows how much water he has), and the three of them immediately let out a sigh as if they had been saved, and then the militia squad leader with a beard tried to tilt his neck to the side: "Report to my lord, Locke was the first to be trapped, I was also standing next to me in armor at the time, but I was not sucked, I was very curious, and I was also sucked when I was curious......"

The third soldier sighed in frustration: "My lord, I was sucked in when I came to check on the situation. ”

Gawain looked down at the soldiers and saw that it was indeed the stone ball that had sucked into their armor, and a long sword had been sucked into the top of the stone ball, but strangely enough, there was an iron ring on the ground next to the stone ball that had fallen off the armor - the iron ring showed no signs of being attracted at all.

Gawain picked up the hoop and rubbed it against the stone ball, not feeling the slightest magnetism.

At this time, the druid Pitman next to him spoke: "I checked just now, this is not a simple magnetic force, and their armor seems to be 'solidified', turning into a completely immobile form, so they can't take it off. ”

It seems that this guy who sells the transfer ceremony is not doing anything serious.

"Sounds like some kind of magical effect...... Gawain muttered, then turned to look at Amber, "You can try it on the shadow level and see if you can remove it." ”

Shadow is something that is in the same place as the real world, but is located on a different level, so the shadow power is very suitable for interfering with the magic of the real world, and even destroying the outer dimension, which is why the Stalker class has the most skills to disarm magic traps and break seals, and Amber, as the darling of the shadow power, is even more master in this regard.

She was brought here to deal with a situation like this.

Amber stopped making trouble at this time, but nodded, and mobilized her natural power very seriously.

Her body became hazy and illusory for a moment, and her whole person entered a state between the present world and the shadow world, some vague shadows extending from her feet and gradually merging with the shadows around the stone ball.

As Amber began to crack, Gawain tried to push the stone ball, but found that it didn't move.

"Isn't this thing very light......," he frowned, looking puzzled, "Even if you add the weight of three people now, it is impossible that even I can't push it." ”

"That's something wrong too," Pitman nodded, "I've heard the sight you saw when you brought this stone ball back, and a person can easily push it with one hand, but now...... I reckon it's at least as heavy as an equal volume of black lazurite. The abnormally light weight that had been unusually light before might have been a magical effect, but now it's its true weight. ”

As soon as Pittman's words fell, Amber suddenly "jumped" out of the shadow form and farted. Sitting on the ground: "Oops-"

Gawain hurriedly reached out and pulled her up: "What's the matter?" ”

Amber also looked blindfolded: "I don't know either...... There seemed to be a strange energy field around this ball, and as soon as I extended my spirit, it was directly bounced away......"

"Wait a minute!" Pitman suddenly said loudly, "There was a life reaction just now! ”
