Chapter 104 - Foreign Person… Ball (2/2)

“Think about it carefully. Your secret might not be as critical as you imagine.” Gawain lowered his tone and said, “I am not a member of those fanatical religions or those Master Mages that studied you from a thousand years ago. Hence, I don’t really mind if you are a foreign guest, and I will not call some god’s name to purify you, nor will I use metallic tools to drill holes on your body. I simply wish to have a good conversation with you. On the one hand, it will satisfy my personal curiosity. On the other hand, I will also be able to help you.”

“You need to know that you have nowhere else to go. The other side of the mountain is a wasteland, and it is filled with the monsters that you saw two days ago. If you head north, it will be to a feudal kingdom that was founded after civilization declined. Ninety-nine percent of the people there are more stubborn, extreme, superstitious, and unreasonable than me. Since you can only stay here, why not become friends with me?

“Of course, if you are still suspicious, I can let you leave. You can try going to the human nation or the southern side of the mountain. But I cannot guarantee that you will make it back alive. Also—”

“I can’t remember very clearly…” When the magic was resonating, the ball suddenly echoed with a metallic and trembling voice that interrupted Gawain’s words.

Gawain blinked before realizing that the ball was heeding him. He quickly controlled his excited emotions and asked curiously, “Can’t remember clearly?”

“I don’t remember clearly where I came from, or how I came here,” the ball said with a smothered voice. “Your guesses are correct. I did come from a ‘very far’ place, and it is much further than you can ever imagine. One thousand years ago, your people had the concept of planets and a universe. Hence, you should have it too. I shall tell you directly. Back then, those people who studied me had discussed it privately and were guessing that I came from another planet. But I want to say, it is even further than that. The distance has exceeded the concept of ‘universe and outer space’.”

Gawain had a stern expression. “In fact, certain astronomy knowledge wasn’t entirely lost either. But after losing this aspect of observation and calculation skills, the related knowledge had degenerated and twisted into a legend. But didn’t you say that you don’t remember clearly about your homeland, or how you arrived here? How can you be so certain that you didn’t cross the universe and outer space to arrive here?”

The ball’s voice sounded a little helpless. “I lost my memory, but I didn’t lose my common sense. If the two places’ laws of physics are different, how can it be the same universe?”

Gawain had an emotional and excited feeling that was hard to suppress. A comrade (although it was just a ball); a comrade that had transmigrated just like him (although it was just a ball); a comrade that could discuss concepts of planets, the universe, and time travel with him (although it was just a ball). Gawain who had been alone in this world for tens of thousands of years, this was an extremely emotional event.

Of course, Gawain now had new friends and relatives (although the bloodline was rather far away). Amber, Rebecca, Heidi, and Byron were all people that he trusted but were they able to discuss the universe or outer space with him?

Mm… It might be possible if Rebecca’s mind was expanded a little larger…

Gawain had worked hard to suppress all the disorderly thoughts that had surged out instantly. He had a hard time finally finding a new question. “Are you so sure that you have crossed the universe? Have you ever thought the laws of physics in the universe might not have ‘equal proportions’? Perhaps each star system might have a different law?”

“Sigh, how can I not think of that. But it is impossible,” the ball spoke in a dispirited manner. “My race has already explored all our remaining survivors in the entire universe and has even started to consider opening a hole in the world’s barrier. If the universe’s law of physics was disproportional, we would have written it in the elementary textbooks… Thus, since the first day I arrived, I had already excluded the possibility that I was stranded on a foreign planet.”

Gawain was dumbstruck.

This ball actually came from such a powerful and advanced civilization? They had already explored the entire universe? They were even researching how to travel to other universes?

Gawain was a transmigrator, and when he realized that the laws of physics here were different from Earth, he already guessed he had entered a so-called ‘foreign universe’. As such, he wasn’t too surprised by the ball’s explanation about crossing over to a new universe. But he was very surprised that this ball’s race was actually so advanced… Then could the ball be Gawain’s chance for a science and technology explosion, allowing him to dominate the entire continent in half a year, unifying the entire planet in one year, and rushing into outer space in two years?

After thinking like this for a moment, Gawain laughed. Just the thought was fine. The laws of physics were different… In this bizarre world, anyone would be caught unprepared if they were to transmigrate to this place.

Furthermore, this ball should be more unprepared than Gawain: the ball only had its own outlook of the world, but Gawain had the knowledge of Gawain Cecil…

At this moment, the ball was deeply moved as it said, “It has truly been tough to find a human to speak with. This era’s humans are all ignorant and prideful. Let alone talking about the universe or outer space, the people in your camp don’t even understand what the atmosphere is… I finally found a person that could have a conversation with me.”

Gawain’s bitter tears welled up in response. The ball had truly spoken what he felt in his heart. He was also deeply moved in his heart too.

Foreigners meeting on a foreign planet. This was truly the destiny of the ball!
