Chapter 104: The Stranger...... ball
The ball was probably stunned for a moment when it heard Gawain's words - this is completely impossible to judge, after all, it is just a smooth metal ball, with no facial features, no expressions or even body movements, and you don't even know if it is listening when it floats in the air, but it does reply after two seconds of silence: "Aren't you talking nonsense, I was transported by you from somewhere else, and it must not be this earth!" β
"You should know I didn't mean that," Gawain was unmoved, "you should have come from a farther away place, and I'm afraid it's hard to describe it in terms of mere distance - a metal sphere that can think and speak, and can also release strange energy fluctuations, control magic and metal, I have never heard of such a strange race in this world." β
"That's because you're lacking in knowledge," the orb said mockingly, "I've learned about you in the last two days from the human who calls himself a druid, and you seem to have gone through a great recession, and now you are incrediblely backward, so how much can you see in your lifetime?" With your human eyes alone, and the way you transmit information by word of mouth, there is so little you can see in your lifetime......"
When Gawain heard this, his heart stabilized.
This ball is right, the vast majority of people in this era of the world are indeed "blindfolded", the lack of information transmission methods and the chaotic state of separation make it difficult for people to contact and collect new information, only a few high-level nobles or great magicians and knights will pay attention to the outside world, while others, including field nobles like Viscount Andrew of Tanzanian Town, are self-styled, And a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky can only come into contact with the new things in his life is the amount of information in a few newspapers, so if Gawain is also such a "blindfolded" person, then it would indeed seem ridiculous for him to judge that a ball is a visitor from outside the world just because he "has not seen it himself".
But the real Gawain is not only not blindfolded, he even stares at the evolution of this world for countless years, and he has been staring at this world since the monkeys on this continent can't walk upright - although he can't see the situation on other continents, no matter how isolated and strange the life forms on other continents are, they won't evolve an alloy ball in a bunch of carbon-based creatures!
Unless it was really out of Gawain's sight, there was a swagger-like race that quickly pointed out the Zenith Star Technology and created an alloy shell anti-gravity levitation strong artificial intelligence thing, and this thing was also lost to the Loren Continent a thousand years ago and was captured by those Gondor Magisters...... Rather than believing such a thing, Gawain would rather believe that Amber would return the pocket watch of Viscount Andrew's butler next door.
So he smiled, came to the ball, and pressed his hand on the opponent's surface.
The orb immediately screamed, "Hey, what are you doing!? Don't be angry! Otherwise I'm ......"
The sphere freezes halfway through because Gawain sends a sentence directly into its mind through magical resonance (does a ball really have these things?). "Don't you think you're too different from all the creatures in this world?" β
The orb was silent for a few more seconds, and then replied in a magical resonance, "...... Just talk, why do you have to be so mysterious? β
"Because I know there are some things you might not want anyone to know," Gawain smiled, "so you can just tell me." β
"Then I don't want you to know!"
Gawain was unmoved: "Where the hell are you from?" How did you end up in this world? How long have you been here? β
The sphere deliberately pretended to be confused: "I don't even understand what you mean - is your associative ability too strong?" β
"Alas, I understand your efforts, but I have to say that you can't hide your fresh and refined appearance at all, and you have somewhat underestimated the amount of knowledge I have, did that druid named Pittman mention to you, although most of the people in the territory were born after the decline of civilization, but the lord here, that is, me, is actually resurrected from the heyday of civilization seven hundred years ago, and I am still a naturalist."
The orb was completely silent this time, apparently the druid, whose mouth was as careless as amber, had mentioned it to it.
With the traverser's open mind and the information he has so far, Gawain can almost assert that the sphere is a visitor from an exotic land, but he can't be sure if the other party has traveled through the world like himself or just from another planet, but in any case, this unlucky guy is definitely the unluckiest of the traversers: it has a different style than others......
This TM is embarrassing, at least two hundred times more embarrassing than those black-haired and black-eyed routines of traveling through the past and being regarded as the son of a demon: How can you fool people with the honor of an alien creature and say that you are from a mysterious country far away in the East?
For his own safety, and because he still doesn't know the details of this sphere, Gawain can't directly tell the other party the secret that he is also a traverser, but he has another identity to fool the past: a naturalist from a civilized and developed society 700 years ago, this identity should be much easier to deal with this ball than those "closed and ignorant natives".
"Come to think of it, your secret may not be as important as you think," Gawain softened, "I'm not a fanatical religious person, nor am I one of those magisters who studied you a thousand years ago, so I don't care if you're an exotic visitor, I'm not going to call out the name of a god to purify you, and I'm not going to make a whole bunch of metalworking tools to dig holes in youβI just want to have a good conversation with you, both to satisfy my personal curiosity and to find a way to help you."
"You know, you have almost nowhere to go, on the other side of the mountain is a wasteland, the wasteland is full of the kind of monsters you saw two days ago, and further north is a feudal kingdom after the decline of civilization, where ninety-nine percent of the people are more stubborn, extreme, superstitious and unreasonable than me, you can only be here, so why not become friends with us?
"Of course, if you are still skeptical, I can let you leave, you can go to the human kingdom or the south side of the mountain to see, but I can't guarantee that you can come back alive, and ......"
"I don't remember exactly." In the resonance of the magic, the orb suddenly let out a sound with a metallic trill, interrupting Gawain's words.
Gao Wen blinked, only then did he realize that the other party was cooperating with him, he quickly controlled his excitement, and asked curiously, "Can't remember?" β
"I can't remember where I came from, or how I came here," the sphere said sullenly, "You guessed it, I did come from a place that was 'far away,' and you can't imagine it. A thousand years ago, you had the concept of planets and the universe, so you should have it, let me tell you straight, and the guys who studied me back then also discussed it privately, wondering if I was from another planet - but I will say, farther than that, that is beyond the concept of 'cosmic space'. β
Gao Wen's expression became serious: "In fact, some astronomical knowledge has not been completely lost, but after the observation and calculation technology in this area has been completely lost, the relevant knowledge has degenerated and distorted into legends." But didn't you say you couldn't remember what your hometown was like and how you came here? How can you be sure that you didn't come across space? β
The voice of the sphere was a little helpless: "I have amnesia, but I haven't lost my common sense - the laws of physics in the two places are different, how can it be the same universe?" β
Gawain's heart was irrepressibly excited and excitedβa companion (although it was just a ball), a companion who had traveled over like himself (although it was just a ball), a companion who could discuss the concepts of planets, the universe, time and space travel with him (although it was just a ball), how exciting was this for him who had been alone in this world for an unknown number of thousands of years?
Of course, now that he has new friends and relatives (albeit a little farther apart), Amber, Rebecca, Hetty, Byron, etc., are all people he can trust, but can these people talk to him about the universe and space?
Well...... Rebecca's brain hole should be a little bigger......
Gao Wen tried to suppress the chaotic thoughts that had surged out of his mind for a moment, and finally sorted out a new question: "Are you so sure that you have crossed the universe?" Have you ever thought that the laws of physics in the universe may be 'uneven', and that the rules may be different for each galaxy? β
"Well, I haven't thought about it, but it's impossible," said Ball in frustration, "My race has explored the entire universe in which we live, and has even begun to ponder making holes in the barrier of the world, if the laws of physics in the universe were not equal, we would have written it in our elementary school textbooks...... So from the first day I came here, I ruled out the possibility of being on another planet. β
Gawain was dumbfounded.
Could this ball come from such a powerful and advanced civilization? They explored the entire universe? Even studying how to go to other universes?
Gawain himself is a time-traveler, and he has already guessed whether he has entered the so-called "other universe" after discovering that the physical laws here are different from those of the earth, so he is not surprised by the fact of the crossing told by the sphere, but he is surprised that the race of the sphere is so advanced...... So is it possible that this ball is the golden thigh that opens the mode of scientific and technological explosion by itself, sweeps the continent in half a year, unifies the world in one year, and rushes into space in two years?
After thinking about it for a while, Gawain smiled: Just think about it, the rules of physics are not universal...... In such a strange world, anyone who crosses over is just as blind.
And this ball should be more blind than himself: the ball only has the worldview of the ball, but he at least has the knowledge of Gawain Cecil on his side......
And Qiu couldn't help but sigh at this time: "It's not easy, it's not easy to talk to people, people in this era are all ignorant and arrogant, not to mention the universe and space, just the people in your camp, tell them about the atmosphere they can't understand...... I've found a guy I can talk to. β
Gao Wen burst into tears when he heard it: the ball really spoke to his heart, why didn't he feel the emotion in his heart?
Strangers meet foreign balls, this is really the fate of a ball!
