To be honest, Gawain didn't guess the beginning or the end - he couldn't have imagined that he actually had a connection with a ball, let alone that the ball would be so poorly drawn......

If it weren't for the fact that someone was watching, and he still had to maintain the image of a majestic ancestor, he would probably immediately slash down with a champion and split this unlucky ball in half - although the sword of the pioneer was not in his hand, this did not affect his idea......

Trying to settle down, Gawain resisted the urge to scold the street, adjusted the ball in front of him from "a frightened cub in need of help" to "a bear child who owes a yaw and deserves to be locked up in the laboratory for people to study", and then said patiently: "What's the good of me lying to you - the research facility that was used to hold you in the first place has been abandoned for a thousand years, do you know after a thousand years?" ”

The ball was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then replied resolutely: "You don't want to trick me into leaving my shell!" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't believe you......"

"You don't want to trick me into leaving my shell!"

Gao Wen's head came out: "It's your business that you love to stay in this shell!" You let my people go first! ”

In the conscious connection, the ball made a curious voice: "Your people? Who? ”

Gao Wen was confused by the other party's curious attitude: "Is it difficult for you to suck my three soldiers on your body and still want to deny it?!" ”

The ball was silent for a longer time this time, and then was shocked: "It turns out that there are still people on these steel plates?!" ”

Gawain: "......"

"It must be the perception in the shell that has been affected!" The hapless ball simply admitted its mistake, and as its voice fell, only a click was heard, and the three soldiers immediately unrestrained themselves and fell off the surface of the sphere.

They looked nervous and frightened, and the first thing they did after landing was to run farther away from the ball, and then threw all kinds of metal objects such as their armor weapons on the ground.

Gao Wen suddenly felt that the strange ball in front of him might be able to communicate, so he asked, "Why are you sucking these armor and weapons?" ”

The ball replied confidently: "I can't find something to defend myself?" God knows what other nasty tricks you crazy barbarians have in place! ”

"I said that the research facilities of the year are long gone, how do I know how the person who caught you back then ......"

"You don't want to trick me into leaving my shell!"

Gawain: "......"

For the first time in his life, he lost so thoroughly in a confrontation with human language, and to the frustration of the former keyboard powerhouse, he actually lost to a ball.

If the ball was really a dragon egg, he even lost to a sufferer. Essence. Ovum......

No matter what he said next, the stone ball that was suspected of being a dragon egg would no longer respond positively, and even if he was forced to be in a hurry, he would only reply with "You don't want to trick me into leaving my shell", which even made Gawain wonder if the essence of this ball would be a damn repeater.

And whatever its essence is, communication cannot continue.

Gawain's face was gloomy and odd as he removed his hand from the surface of the orb, and at the same time ended his mana perception, he looked up to see both Amber and Pitman looking at him curiously.

Amber just watched the three soldiers be liberated shortly after Gawain made contact with the ball, and then Gawain's face turned blue and white for a while and he entered the fugue mode there, which made this half-elf lady think that this seven-hundred-year-old zongzi was about to die again due to excessive use of magic power caused by excessive power invocation...... As a result, before the inner struggle was over, Gawain "returned to his soul".

And he looks angry.

This made Amber, who was a thief with a weak heart (unmistakable), immediately break out in a cold sweat, and even spoke an octave lower: "You...... Are you okay? I saw your face turn so fast just now, I thought I was going to blow yourself up......"

"I've got a conversation with this ball," Gawain gritted his teeth so much that he didn't even notice Amber's abnormal attitude, "this thing...... He turned out to be sane! ”

"Sanity?!" The most surprised thing was not Amber, but the druid Pitman next to him, the little old man pounced on the ball almost immediately, but hesitated and didn't dare to press his hand - the legendary knight touched it, and he was a druid who was no more than the third level What if he succeeded in his death, "A dragon egg can actually have sanity?!" Other words...... Can dragons think when they're still eggs? It's simply ...... It's simply the most incredible thing, a mystery that no scholar or druid in this world has ever discovered! ”

"No, it's not sure it's a dragon egg." Gawain hurriedly corrected him, he still couldn't believe that such a routine could happen to him, but his correction was useless: Pittman had fallen into an inexplicable euphoria, and had already begun to plan to write a book about this new discovery and sell it to the Duchy of the Holy Dragon to the north.

If he really dared to sell this kind of non-existent "research results" to those dragon worship fanatics, I am afraid that Gawain would have to hire a new druid, but fortunately, Pitman did not have the money to print books, let alone travel through the entire Ansu and the northern mountains to sell them in the Holy Dragon Duchy.

In view of the fact that the stone ball had refused to accept any contact, Gawain had no choice but to continue to throw this thing here, but in order to prevent this "dragon egg" that can manipulate metal and affect the flow of magic to a certain extent, he changed the original "containment procedures": remove all metal objects within a radius of dozens of meters inside and outside the tent; A circle of obsidian slabs was placed around the sphere to block mana; The spheres were tied layer by layer with a strong rope and fixed to the ground with thick wooden stakes; Tell Stone Ball that he's going to buy some oranges......

The last step was not understood.

While arranging all this, Gawain also told Hetty, who had been waiting outside, about the whole process of communicating with the ball.

Surprisingly, Hetty, who has always been mature and practical, also suspected that the ball was a dragon egg.

Is this way of thinking so popular in this other world?

"I'm afraid this 'dragon egg' was stolen by the magus of the ancient Gondor Empire," Hetty said with her reasoning after listening to Gawain's description, "I've heard that dragons did appear on the continent a thousand years ago, and that the dragon principalities have documented this—while dragon worshippers have always been godly when it comes to dragons, they are the most reliable recorders of when and where dragons appeared. This point in time coincides with the construction age of the ruins.

"And based on the attitude of the 'dragon egg' towards humans, it is clear that the Magus of the Gondor Empire took a disgraceful approach in obtaining the egg - and were not very friendly to the dragon egg afterwards."

"That's, it's all thrown on the test bench, no matter how friendly it is," Gawain pouted, "I suspect it has been asleep since then, probably because the Magus of the Gondor Empire has suppressed its activity in some way, because that 'egg' has no memory of the passage of thousands of years." And let's take it out of the ruins...... I'm afraid it's breaking the ban left by the Magister a thousand years ago. ”

"What are you going to do with it?" Hetty asked cautiously, "If it's really a dragon egg...... We can't take it lightly, the legend says that dragons are a very vindictive race and take their eggs very seriously, and the Magus Gondor of a thousand years ago may not have been very afraid of dragon revenge, but we are different today. And in the eyes of those dragons, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between us and humans a thousand years ago. ”

The dragon's true body is almost unseen, but there is no shortage of descriptions of dragons, about their temperament, classification, preferences, and even recipes, there are countless professional books on this continent that are carefully introduced, some of which are accounts of local folk dragon experts, and the other part is from the northern Principality of the Holy Dragon, the latter is a self-proclaimed descendant of the dragon's blood, the ice nobles who use many flowery and intimidating words to describe their "dragon ancestors", and Hetty chooses to believe the most dangerous part of the description.

Gawain touched his chin: "It's the same...... Let it sit there for a few days, without anyone disturbing it, convince it that no one has come to it for experiments, and then I'll find a way to build trust. ”

After saying this, he couldn't help but let out a long yawn, and the sleepiness of being woken up in the middle of the night and the exhaustion caused by his high concentration suddenly pressed up: "Yawn...... Let's do this today, everyone is tired after tossing and turning in the middle of the night, except for the people who are on duty at night, everyone else should go back to rest. ”

The gathered personnel dispersed, Amber also yawned and disappeared from everyone's sight, Gawain finally glanced back at the "Dragon Egg Tent" that was being stared at by the soldiers from afar, shook his head, and turned to walk towards his camp.

After entering the tent, he sat on the bed and did not immediately go to sleep, but habitually concentrated, calling out in his mind the "magic image" from the sky.

After confirming that the energy distribution on the magic imaging map did not fluctuate much, there was no high-energy reaction nearby, especially near the "Dragon Egg", and there was no new alarm from the satellite, he was slightly relieved and prepared to sleep.

But just before lying down, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a faint glimmer of light looming in the dark tent.

Gawain rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't a hallucination, and that the glimmer was coming from the large basket next to his desk.

Those are the waste products of Rebecca's "burning cement" process, some ineffective cemented substances.

Gawain leaned over curiously, and saw a little glimmer of light shining in the cemented matter.

The light is faint, but it looks like stars.
