Chapter 318: The Mutation of Civilization
Leo used the shadow jump to move very quickly, and within a short time he had moved to a high tower surrounded by huge stone houses near the beach in the city.
Leo chose this tower as his target not because of a random search, but because he strengthened his sense of smell and found out where the smell of paper was strongest. Although there is incense interference in the city, the incense here is weaker than in other places.
A lot, but the impact on Leo was not very big.
After arriving at the tower, Leo was originally ready to enter the tower filled with the smell of paper, but he quickly stopped and retreated into the shadows again.
I saw that just when Leo retreated into the shadows and gathered all the breath in his body, the closed tower door slowly opened, followed by five people covered in yellow robes, wrapping themselves from head to toe.
The mysterious man came out of the tower.
They seemed to be discussing something as they walked, but the language they used was not a language that human voices could produce. Instead, it was like the sound of some kind of insect flapping its wings, which felt a bit harsh in the ears.
These yellow-robed men did not seem to be affected by the movement on the other side of the city. Their steps were steady and slow. It felt like they were moving in small steps. It took a long time to get from the door of the tower to the shadow of the building where Leo was hidden.
When these yellow-robed men approached, Leo restrained all the aura in his body. At the same time, the twins also turned into the form of cross swords, ready to attack at any time.
The reason why Leo was so nervous was because he felt that the psychic energy fluctuations in these five yellow-robed men had reached the level of fourth-level psychics.
Although in terms of psychic fluctuations, not to mention compared to him now, even if he has not yet reached the fifth level psyker, he is much more powerful than these yellow-robed men.
But the problem is, when he felt these yellow-robed men just now, he instinctively felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. Even as these yellow-robed men approached the shadow where he was, the sense of crisis in his heart also became
More and more intense.
Even though his rational analysis told him that as long as he took action at this time, with his strength, he could kill the five yellow-robed men without any effort, but his instinctive sense of crisis suppressed his rational analysis and prevented him from acting rashly.
.
"So that's what happened?" Just when the man in yellow robe had walked to the shadow and Leo could easily come into contact with these people, he suddenly figured out why he had such a strong sense of crisis.
Except for the symbiont, the psychic energy fluctuations possessed by each psyker are different. This is almost a law of the universe. However, the psychic energy fluctuations of the five yellow-robed men in front of me are exactly the same. It feels like they are of the same kind.
Psionics, very similar to psionic symbiotes.
However, Leo did not think that these yellow-robed men were psychic symbionts. The first thing that came to his mind was the pseudo-psionic symbiote he found in Miria City, although he did not yet know what these yellow robes were.
However, he instinctively felt that there might be some connection between these yellow-robed people and those symbionts.
Although the strongest psychic fluctuations of these yellow-robed men can only reach the level of fourth-level psychics, but thinking of the power displayed by the pseudo-psionic symbiont, it is difficult for Leo to judge the strength of the opponent if the two sides fight.
To what extent can it be increased? This may be why Leo has such a strong sense of crisis.
The men in yellow robes passed by Leo one after another, and did not notice Leo's existence. However, when the last man in yellow robes passed by the shadow, he suddenly stopped, as if he felt something, and turned his head.
, and looked towards the shadow where Leo was.
At this moment, Leo also saw clearly the face of the man in yellow robe under the hood of his robe.
I saw that although this man in yellow robe had a human face, the skin on his face was covered with transparent pustules the size of rice grains. In the pustules, tiny worms could be seen moving inside, and his eyes were even brighter.
It looked like many small fish eyes were pinched together. Dozens of eyeballs moved at the same time as his gaze moved, which looked disgusting.
Leo has seen a lot of monsters, but this is the first time he has seen a monster that looks like this. Although he doesn't feel sick due to his character and will, he still can't help but frown on his face, revealing
A little look of disgust.
The man in yellow robe seemed to feel Leo hiding in the shadows, but he was not sure what he felt, so after finding nothing unusual with his eyes, he walked into the shadows and swept back and forth with his hands.
However, Leo's invisible shadow is like a parallel subspace. Even if the man in yellow robe sweeps his hand across his body, he cannot touch any object.
After a fruitless search, the actions of the man in yellow robe also attracted the attention of other men in yellow robe. They moved over one after another and asked their companions a few questions in harsh voices. After hearing the explanation from their companions,
, the other yellow robed people seemed to be disapproving, and then they gave the yellow robed man a few words as if saying that his companion was troublesome, and then pulled the yellow-robed man and continued to walk forward, without taking his companion's feelings seriously.
Something happened.
The man in yellow robe was not sure whether his feeling was wrong at the moment, so when he was pulled away, he did not resist, but followed a few people obediently and walked outside.
As the figure of the man in yellow robe disappeared into the distance, Leo carefully sensed the surrounding situation, and after confirming that there was no one else, he walked out of the shadows and quickly walked towards the tower.
Perhaps because those men in yellow robes thought that no one would have the courage to enter the tower, the door of the tower was not closed, and Leo entered the tower easily.
Although this tower is dozens of meters high, it only has four floors, and the area of each floor is not small. Just as Leo expected, bookcases full of books are placed all along the wall.
There are tables and chairs for reading in the middle, and the stone pillars supporting the tower are all carved with strange creatures that look extremely weird.
However, when Leo entered the tower, he was not attracted by the books in the tower and the statues of strange creatures around him. His eyes immediately fell on the lamps on the desks, and his face was full of surprise.
and surprised.
It turns out that the lamps on the table are not the oil lamps that burn vegetable oil that Leo saw in the Velen world, nor are they the electric lamps that are emerging now, but the energy conversion lamps that can be seen everywhere on spaceships and battleships in the universe where the Earth Federation is located.
This kind of lamp can convert any energy, from the heat energy generated when people move, to the particle energy emitted by battleship engines, etc., as long as the energy generated within its range of action can be converted into light energy sufficient to provide lighting.
The items that were supposed to be seen on the space battleship now appeared on a strange planet, a strange island, and on a desk in a strange library, leaving Leo at a loss for a moment.
At this time, he thought about the fragments of information he had received through the parasite in the obsidian badge, and the light of origin. He began to feel that his speculation might be true, and that the world of Velen might be in the same universe as the Earth Federation.
Leo did not make a positive judgment immediately, but walked to the table, picked up the energy conversion lamp, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"The craftsmanship of Miyage people, with the product mark of Weiya people, are the goods of Weiya people." Leo did not use any tools, just with his fingernails, he easily opened the seemingly tight casing of the lamp, and then skillfully found
I looked at the main control chip of the lamp and saw the product number on it and the ion mark drawn for the custom order.
The Miyage people are one of the few purely technological races in the universe. Due to their physical constitution, they are unable to produce psychic energy and are completely insulated from the subspace. For a long time, the Miyage people's civilization has been at the bottom of the universe's civilization.
In order to reverse the plight of the ethnic group, the Niyage people can only give up the spiritual civilization as the main body of the development of cosmic civilization, and instead aim the development route of civilization at the road of science and technology. Therefore, as long as there is something that has a sense of technology, you can almost have it.
Miyage people will take part in everything from a translator patch next to the ear to a planet-level star battleship. This energy conversion lamp was also created by Miyage people.
One of the main export commodities of the Miyage people.
As a wandering civilization of the Waya people, commerce and trade are naturally an important pillar supporting civilization, and the relationship between the Niyage people and the Waya people is very good. Almost 60% of the items made by the Niyage people are handed over to the wandering traders of the Waya people.
The team operates, and the Miyage people will also print the Weiya people's mark on the goods specially provided for the Weiya people in order to distinguish other similar goods, and the price and quality of such marked goods will naturally be much higher.
Seeing that this lamp is a specialty product of Weiya people, Leo clearly realized that Weiya people had definitely been to the world of vinylon before, because Weiya people would never leave this kind of product to others, and would only trade it themselves, and even
Even the delivery is done in person. The reason may be related to the business contract signed between the Weiya people and the Niyage people.
Seeing the exclusive products of Wyal people here means that Wyal people have indeed been here. As for how they got here, it is worth discussing. You can take a spaceship into the world of Velen in the normal way and trade some goods with the locals.
, and then left. It may have been a shipwreck, and the spacecraft crashed into the world of Velen. The goods in the spacecraft were taken out, and after years of exploration, the method of using them was found.
Regarding the two possibilities, Leo's rationality was to choose the second possibility, but his intuition was on the first possibility.
The rational judgment is that the second possibility is because this kind of thing happens often in the universe. Some spaceships have accidents for some reasons and crashed on a planet of a lower civilization, and the items inside were destroyed by the wisdom of a lower civilization.
The living things were picked up, and after years of development, they found a way for civilization to advance, allowing the civilization of the planet to be improved.
According to expert inspections by the Earth Federation, humans in the old Earth era were able to rise from a relatively backward non-interstellar civilization to one of the most powerful nations in the cosmic civilization in such a short period of time, most likely because of certain things that fell on the Earth.
knowledge of other civilizations.
The Velen world is probably because of this reason. Think about the history of the Velen world. From the primitive god belief and witchcraft, the mythical Middle Ages where the clans were rampant, to the technological society with the extremely unique steam civilization, it only took two or three hundred years.
It’s just a matter of years.
The total time taken for the transformation of civilization is less than twenty years. If the world of Velen is a human, then this means that his bloodline has mutated, and mutations are often caused by interference from external factors.
If it is the first possibility, this external factor must be the active participation of the Waya people, and this approach seriously violates some of the issues of the Universe Parliament. Once the matter is exposed, it will not be possible even if the Waya people are the oldest civilization in the universe.
To evade punishment, with the shrewdness of Weiya people, they will never do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.
This is the second possible reason that Leo felt through rational analysis.
However, Leo trusts his intuition more than rational judgment, because rational judgment will cause wrong judgments due to the lack of data, but with his cognition and intuition, especially the intuition of psychics,
, is far more accurate than the results obtained from data analysis and rational deduction.
If it is really the Wyalians who came to the world of Velen and interfered with the development of civilization in the Velen world, then what is the purpose of the Wyalns?
Because no matter how you look at it, it is thankless for Wycombe to do this. Once the matter is exposed, the business reputation established by Wycombe over the past countless years will instantly collapse, and those universes that have long coveted Wycombe’s assets will
Civilization will take the opportunity like a pack of wolves to tear the Waya people into pieces.
"Is the Light of Origin really in the world of Velen?" After thinking about it, Leo felt that only the Light of Origin, the only spiritual belief of the Waya people, could allow the Waya people to risk such a huge risk to take such an active intervention in other countries.
things about the process of civilization.
But a new problem has arisen. According to the current development of steam civilization in the Velen world, psychic civilization is in a state of decline and suppression. From the perspective of the prospects for the development of steam civilization, it can be said that there is no way out, and it is almost certain.
, after steam civilization develops to a certain level, it will stop completely and will stay in that civilization stage for a long time, or even forever, until the next civilization mutation occurs.
If the Light of Origin, the oldest Omega-level advanced creature in the universe, is in the world of Velen, then the development of steam civilization will definitely not be of any help to it. Just like the disappearance of various gods, it will only cause the decline of the gods.
Only a strong psychic civilization can promote the further development of omega-level advanced creatures.
Therefore, if the light of origin is really hidden in the world of Velen for some unknown reason, and if the steam civilization of the world of Velen is really driven by the Wyalians, then the purpose of the Wyalians does not seem to be to help the origin.
The light is more like suppressing the light of origin.
