Chapter 72 Life Response?

Gawain was awakened by the movement outside while he was in a daze.

The sound of 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 were running towards his tent, and he was already asleep. When the not-so-shen Gawain woke up, he grabbed his clothes and draped it over his body, and shouted to the outside, "What happened?!"

Knight Philip's voice came from outside the tent: "Sir - the stone ball you brought back is in something wrong!"

What do you mean something is wrong?

The always shrewd and capable young knight used such an ambiguous description. Gawain immediately realized that the situation might be quite complicated, so he quickly tidied up his clothes, and took the pioneer sword that was always at hand, and lifted it up. Open the tent door and walk out of the tent.

There are still two hours before dawn, and there is no sign that the sky is still bright, but the braziers and torches burning everywhere have kept the camp from being completely shrouded in darkness. As soon as Gawain walked out of the tent door, he felt a shadow suddenly twist 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 suit. Wearing light clothes, she shouted loudly as she got out of the shadows: "What's going on, I'm falling asleep here, so why... hey, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, help me..."

Gawain pulled Amber by the back of the neck in a cold sweat and pulled her out of the shadow, feeling that the other party was as light as a cat: "A shadow master like you is still stuck in your shadow step?"

"Isn't it a bit rushed and still awake," Amber's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly shifted the embarrassment, "What's wrong?"

"The stone ball I brought back seems to be out of order," Gawain said casually, and motioned for Knight Philip to lead the way, while he led Amber behind the knight and the soldier, "Let's check the situation together."

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

Halfway through speaking, he was taken away by Gawain in his armpit.

The independent tent on the south side of the camp has been surrounded by soldiers and militiamen. A circle of people has formed a line of defense within a dozen meters from the tent. The burning torches make this area bright as day, and the civilians in the south of the camp have already been captured here. The movement was startling, but almost no one dared to come out of the tent to check the situation: most of them just huddled in the tent and poked their heads out to take a look.

Because Amber was struggling more intensely, Heidi was already there when Gawain arrived with the half-elf in between. She sketched magic runes in the air and set up weak protective knots in the area around the tent. When she saw Gawain, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ancestor, you are..."

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

Amber jumped in protest: "Don't take you like this! You almost strangled me!"

However, no one listened to her protest...

"How is the situation inside?" Gawain looked at the direction of the tent and noticed that there was an unmanned isolation zone between the tent and the defense line, as if approaching the stone ball would be in great danger, "Any casualties?"

"There were no casualties, but two militiamen and one soldier were trapped inside," Hetty said with a strange expression, "it was... sucked."

"Suck it?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, "Does magnets attract metals like that?"

"Similar, but very strange," Hetty said of the current situation, "At first, the militiamen on duty found that their magical equipment suddenly lost their magic power, and then their weapons and armor were attracted by stone balls, but not all metals would Being sucked, the stone ball seemed to have a choice. Some people walked past the stone ball in full armor without being affected... Because I am not sure what other changes have been made to the thing,

So I don't allow anyone to go inside for the time being, only the druid named Pittman is checking the three trapped people in the tent. "

Selectively attract? Also affects the magic? This property doesn't look like a magnet at all.

Gawain pondered for a while, then took off 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 products on your body."

"Why...why should I go?" Amber suddenly looked cowardly, "Shouldn't a knight like you go first in such a dangerous situation?"

"Yeah, so I'll go ahead in a while, you follow," Gawain nodded, "unless you don't want this month's salary."

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

Speaking of which, she hasn't given it back to others yet? !

Gawain's eyes swept across the pocket watch, and finally stared straight at Amber, until the latter looked horrified before he said, "Where's the money bag?"

Amber immediately clutched his waist in horror: "This is absolutely not possible!"

Gawain continued to stare directly at her.

A few seconds later, Amber finally reluctantly took out his purse, then held it and counted it over and over again, and finally handed it over to Knight Philip next to him: "I tell you, I counted clearly. Yes! If there is one less when I come back..."

"I swear by the honor of the knight! I will protect the property that others handed me!" The young knight immediately raised his chest and said loudly, but Amber was taken aback: "Hey, you don't need to shout so loudly, there's actually not much money in it... "

"Ancestor, I'm 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 be able to Affecting the flow of magic power, if you get close, it will be useless."

Heidi nodded, bowed and stepped back: "Then you should be more careful."

Gao Wen sighed in his heart: What a good person. Wife attribute... How about asking her when she plans to get married?

An incoherent thought passed through his mind, and Gawain walked towards the tent with Amber, who had an expression on his face like an enemy.

In front of the tent, he used hazard perception to confirm the situation inside, and after roughly judging that there were no factors that could threaten him, Gawain carefully opened the curtain.

He first saw the big ball placed in the center of the tent. The ball looked unchanged, it was still a stone, but around the stone ball were three men in full armor.

A militiaman, a militia captain, a regular soldier.

He also saw the figure of the little old man. Pittman was indeed taking care of the trapped soldiers here as Hetty said. When Gawain opened the curtain, the little old man was squatting in front of the militia captain and speaking kindly: "...So it's obvious that you are working with mold, really don't try our Druid sect's transfer ceremony?"

"The Druid sect has a fart transfer ceremony, don't fool my soldiers here," Gawain strode into the tent and glanced down at the three soldiers, "Who was trapped first?"

The three soldiers who were sucked on the stone ball were in a very depressed and nervous state, and then a nagging little old man was here to sell them a transfer ceremony, basically reaching the critical point of mental explosion. And Gawain's sudden appearance eased all of this. In any case, the inspiration that the legendary pioneer knights can give them is huge (although the legend himself knows how much water he is), the three of them immediately breathed out as if they had been saved, and then the one who stayed The bearded militia squad leader tried his best to tilt his neck to the side: "Sir Report, Locke was the first to be trapped. At that time, I was also standing beside me wearing armor, but I was not caught, so I was very curious. As a result, I was attracted when I was curious..."

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

Gawain looked down at the soldiers, and found that the stone ball was indeed sucking their armor, and a long sword was sucked to the top of the stone ball, but the strange thing was that it was on the ground next to the stone ball. There was a hoop that fell from the armor—and the hoop showed no sign of being attracted at all.

Gawain picked up the iron ring and rubbed it on the stone ball, not feeling the magnetic force at all.

At this time, the Druid Pitman next to him said: "I checked just now, this is not pure magnetism, and their armor seems to be 'solidified' and becomes completely inactive, so take it off. not come down."

It seems that this guy who sells the transfer ceremony is not doing any business at all.

"It sounds like some kind of magical effect..." Gawain pondered, then turned to look at Amber, "Try it from the shadow level to see if you can remove this effect."

Shadows are things that exist in the real world, but are located on different levels. Therefore, the power of shadows is very suitable for interfering with the magic power of the real world, and even carrying out extra-dimensional destruction. This is why the stalker profession has the most dispel magic traps. And breaking the seal skills, and Amber, as the darling of the shadow power, is even more master-level in this regard.

She was brought here to deal with a similar situation.

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

Her body became hazy and illusory for a moment, and the whole person entered a state between the real world and the shadow world. Some vague shadows extended from her feet and gradually merged with the shadows around the stone ball.

While the amber was starting to crack, Gawain tried to push the stone ball and found that it remained motionless.

"Isn't this thing very light..." He frowned and looked puzzled, "Even if the weight of three people is added now, it is impossible for me to push it."

"That's not right," Pittman nodded. "I heard what it looked like when you brought this stone ball back. One could easily push it with one hand, but now... I guess it's at least It is as heavy as a black gold rock of the same volume. The abnormally light weight before may be a magical effect, and now it is its real weight."

As soon as Pittman's voice fell, Amber suddenly "jumped" out of the shadow form and sat down on the ground: "Oops—"

Gao Wen quickly reached out and pulled her up: "What's going on?"

Amber also looked confused: "I don't know... There seems to be a strange energy field around this ball. As soon as I stretched out my spirit, I was directly bounced..."

"Wait a minute!" Pittman exclaimed suddenly, "There was a life reaction just now!"
