Chapter 104: Stranger... Ball

The ball was probably stunned for a moment after hearing Gawain's words - it's completely impossible to judge. After all, it is just a smooth metal ball with no facial features, no expression or even body movements. When it floats in mid-air and does not move, even you I don’t know if it was listening, but it did answer after two seconds of silence: “Aren’t you talking nonsense? I was transported here from another place by you, and it is definitely not this earth! "

"You should know that I don't mean it this way," Gawain was completely unmoved. "You should come from a place farther away. It's hard to describe it even in terms of distance - a person who can think. The metal sphere that can talk can also release strange energy fluctuations and control magic and metal. I have never heard of such a strange race in the world."

"That's you. You have less experience," the sphere said sarcastically, "I have learned about you from the mouth of the human who calls himself a druid in the past two days. It seems that you have experienced a great recession and are now incredibly lagging behind. So how can you see so much in your lifetime? How many things are there? With just your human eyes and the way of transmitting information by word of mouth, you can see too few things in your lifetime..."

When Gawain heard this, he felt sad in his heart. A solid three points.

This ball is right. The vast majority of people in this era and the world are indeed "blindfolded". The lack of information transmission methods and the chaotic state of segregation make it difficult for people to access and After collecting new information, only a few high-ranking nobles, great magicians, and great knights will pay attention to the outside world, while others, including local nobles like Viscount Andrew of Tanzania Town, are self-isolated. And the new things that a farmer with his back to the earth and his back to the sky can come into contact with in his life are only the amount of information in a few newspapers. Therefore, if Gawain is also such a "blindfolded" person, then he only relies on "he has no It would indeed be ridiculous to judge that a ball is an alien from another world.

But not only was the real Gawain not blindfolded, he even stared at the evolution of the world for countless years. He had been staring at this since the monkeys on this continent could not walk upright. The world - although he couldn't see the situation on other continents, no matter how isolated and strange the life forms on other continents were from here, they still wouldn't evolve into an alloy ball among a bunch of carbon-based organisms!

Unless there really is a cheating race outside Gawain's sight, he quickly pointed out the Zentraedi technology and built an alloy-shell anti-gravity suspension strong artificial intelligence thing, and this thing His son was still living in the continent of Loren a thousand years ago and was captured by the Magisters of Gondor... Instead of believing in this kind of 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 put his hand on the opponent's surface.

The sphere immediately screamed: "Hey, what are you doing!? Don't get angry! Otherwise I..."

The sphere got stuck in the middle of the sentence, because Gawain Through magical resonance,A sentence was sent directly to its mind (does a ball really have these things?): "Don't you think that the style of painting between you and all the creatures in this world is too different?"

The sphere was silent for a few more seconds, and then answered with magic resonance: "... Just talk, why do you have to be so mysterious?"

"Because I know, some You may not want others to know about it," Gao Wen smiled, "So you can just tell me."

"Then I don't want you to know either!"

Gao Wen. Wen was unmoved: "Where did you come from? How did you end up in this world? How long have you been here?"

The sphere deliberately pretended to be confused: "I can't even understand you. Meaning - is your association ability too strong?”

“Well, I understand your efforts, but I have to say that you can’t hide it with your fresh and refined appearance. And you have somewhat underestimated the amount of knowledge I have. Did the Druid named Pitman ever mention to you that although most people in the territory were born after the decline of civilization, the lord here, who is me, In fact, it was resurrected from the heyday of civilization seven hundred years ago, and I am still a naturalist."

The sphere was completely silent this time. Obviously, Drew, who has a mouth as clueless as Amber. Yi mentioned this to it.

Relying on the time traveler's broad thinking and the information he currently has, Gawain can almost conclude that this sphere is a visitor from a foreign land, but he cannot be sure whether the other party has traveled through the world like him, or just comes from somewhere else. Planet, but no matter what, this unlucky guy is definitely the most unlucky among the time-travelers: its style of painting is different from others...

This is so embarrassing, compared to those with black hair and dark eyes. In the past, the embarrassment of being regarded as the son of the devil was at least two hundred times more embarrassing: How could you pretend to be an alien creature and lie to others that you came from a mysterious country in the far east?

For his own safety, and because he still doesn’t know the details of this sphere, Gawain cannot directly tell the other party the secret that he is also a time traveler, but he has other identities to fool him: a man from seven hundred years ago As a naturalist in a civilized and developed society, this identity should be much easier to deal with than those "closed and ignorant natives".

"Think carefully, your secret may not be as important as you think," Gawain slowed down, "I am not a fanatical religious person, nor am I the demon who studied you a thousand years ago. Teacher, so I don’t care if you are a visitor from a foreign land. I will neither shout the name of any god to purify you, nor will I get a lot of metalworking tools to make holes in your body - I just hope that I can I want to have a good talk with you, on the one hand, to satisfy my personal curiosity, and on the other hand, to find a way to help you.

"You know, you have almost no place to go, up there in the mountains. There is a wasteland on the side. The wasteland is full of the monsters you saw two days ago. Going north is a civilization declining.In the feudal kingdom that followed, 99% of the people there were more stubborn, extreme, superstitious and unreasonable than me. You could only stay here, so why not become friends with us?

"Of course, if you still have doubts, I can let you leave. You can go to the human country or the south of the mountain to have a look, but it is difficult for me to guarantee that you can come back alive, and..."

"I can't remember clearly either." In the resonance of magic power, the sphere suddenly made a metallic trembling sound, interrupting Gawain's words.

Gawain blinked and realized that the other party was cooperating with him. He quickly controlled his excitement and asked curiously: "Can't you remember?"

"Can't you remember? I don’t know where I came from, and I can’t remember how I came from it,” Sphere said dully, “You are right, I do come from a place ‘far away’, and it’s so far away that you can’t even imagine it. Thousands of years ago, you had the concepts of planets and universes, so you should also have them. Let me tell you straight, those guys who studied me back then also had private discussions and wondered whether I came from other planets - but I To say that it is farther than that, it is a distance beyond the concept of 'universe space'."

Gawain's expression became serious: "In fact, some astronomical knowledge has not been completely lost, it is just completely. After losing the observation and calculation technology in this area, the relevant knowledge has been reduced and distorted into legends. But don't you say that you can't remember what your hometown looks like and how you came here? How can you be sure that you are not crossing over? "Come from space?"

The voice of the sphere was a little helpless: "I have lost my memory, but I have not lost my common sense - the physical laws of the two places are different, how can it be the same universe?"

Gawain could not suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart - a companion (although it was just a ball), a companion who had traveled through time like him (although it was just a ball), a companion who could be with him. How exciting is it for him, who has been alone in this world for who knows how many thousands of years, to be a companion (albeit just a ball) who discusses concepts such as planets, universes, and time travel?

Of course, now he has new friends and relatives (although the blood relationship is far away). Amber, Rebecca, Hetty, Byron, etc. are all people he can trust, but these people can follow Does he discuss the universe and space-time?

Hmm... It would be okay to expand Rebecca's imagination a little bit...

Gawain tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts that came out of his mind at the moment, and it was easy to sort them out. New question: "Are you so sure that you have crossed the universe? Have you ever thought that the physical laws in the universe may be 'uneven', and maybe the rules of each galaxy are different?"

"Oh, why haven't I thought about it, but this is impossible," Qiu said in frustration, "My race has explored the entire universe in which we live, and has even begun to think about drilling holes in the world barrier. If the universe The laws of physics in the world are not uniform. We have already written them in our primary school textbooks... So from the first day here, IThis rules out the possibility of living on an alien planet. ”

Gawain was stunned.

Did this ball come from such a powerful and advanced civilization? They have explored the entire universe? They are even studying how to go to other universes?

Gawain himself is a time traveler, and after discovering that the physical laws here are different from those on the earth, he has already guessed whether he has entered the so-called "alien universe", so he is not surprised by the facts about time travel told by the sphere. , but he was surprised that the race of this ball was so advanced... So could this ball be the golden thigh that started the technological explosion mode on its own, sweeping the continent in half a year, unifying the world in one year, and rushing into space in two years?

And this ball should be more blind than himself: Qiu only has the world view of Qiu, but he at least has the knowledge of Gawain Cecil...

But Qiu can't help it at this time He sighed: "It's not easy. It's not easy to talk to people. People in this era are all ignorant and arrogant. Let alone the universe, time and space, just the people in your camp, tell them about the atmosphere. They don't understand... I finally found someone I can talk to. ”

Gawain cried bitterly when he heard this: The ball really spoke to his heart, how could he not feel the same way in his heart?

When a stranger meets a foreign ball, What a fate!
