Chapter 318: Sudden Mutation of Civilization
Leo used the shadow jump to move quickly, but in a matter of moments he was already moving to the side of a tall tower surrounded by boulder houses in the city near the beach.
The tower was chosen not to be a random search for Leo, but to strengthen his sense of smell and to smell the place where the smell of paper was strongest. Although there is incense interference in the city, the incense here is much weaker than in other places, and the impact on Leo is not very large.
Upon arriving at the Tower, Leo was about to go straight into the paper-scented Tower, but he quickly stopped and retreated back into the shadows.
I saw that just as Leo retreated into the shadows and gathered all the aura on his body, the closed gate of the tower slowly opened, and five mysterious people wearing yellow robes and wrapping themselves from head to toe walked out of the tower.
As they walked, they seemed to be discussing something, but the language they used was not the language that a human voice could pronounce, but rather the sound of some kind of insect flapping its wings, which felt a little harsh to the ears.
The yellow-robed men didn't seem to be affected by the movement on the other side of the city, their steps were steady and slow, and it felt like they were moving in small steps, and it took a long time to walk from the door of the tower to the hidden shadow of the building by Leo.
As the yellow-robed men approached, Leo gathered all the aura in his body, and at the same time, the twins also took the form of cross-swords, ready to attack at any time.
The reason why Leo was so nervous was because he felt that the spiritual energy fluctuations on these five yellow-robed people had actually reached the level of a fourth-level psionic person.
Although in terms of psionic fluctuations, not to mention compared to him now, even if he has not yet reached the fifth level of psionic ability, he is much stronger than these yellow-robed people.
But the problem is that when he felt these yellow-robed people just now, he instinctively had a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and even as these yellow-robed people approached the shadow where he was, the sense of crisis in his heart became more and more intense.
Even if his rational analysis told him that as long as he made a move at this time, with his strength, he could kill these five yellow-robed people without much effort, but the instinctive sense of crisis suppressed the rational analysis, so he did not act rashly.
"So that's the case?" Just when the yellow-robed man had already walked to the shadows, and Leo was able to easily reach these people, he suddenly figured out why he had such a strong sense of crisis.
Except for the symbiote, the spiritual energy fluctuations possessed by each psionic person are different, which is almost the law of the universe, but the spiritual energy fluctuations of the five yellow-robed people in front of them are completely the same, and they feel like the same psionic energy, very similar to the psionic symbiote.
It's just that Leo doesn't think that these yellow-robed people are psionic symbiotes, the first thing that comes to his mind is the pseudo-psionic symbiote he found in Miria City, although he still doesn't know the details of these yellow-robed people, but his instinct feels that these yellow-robed people and those symbiotes may have some connection.
Although the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations of these yellow-robed people can only reach the level of fourth-level psionic beings, thinking of the power displayed by the pseudo-psionic symbiote, it is difficult for Leo to judge how much the opponent's strength can increase if the two sides fight, which may be why Leo has such a strong sense of crisis.
The yellow-robed man walked in front of Leo one after another, and did not notice Leo's existence, but when the last yellow-robed man walked in front of this shadow, he suddenly stopped, as if he sensed something, turned his head, and looked at the shadow where Leo was.
At this moment, Leo also saw the appearance of the yellow-robed man under the hood of his robe.
I saw that although this yellow-robed man had a human face, the skin on his face was all covered with transparent pus the size of a grain of rice, and in the pus, you could see small insects moving in it, and his eyes were more like the eyes of many small fish pinched together, and dozens of eyeballs turned at the same time as his gaze moved, which made people feel disgusting.
Leo has seen a lot of monsters, but this is the first time he has seen such a monster, although because of his heart and will, he will not feel disgusted, but his face still can't help frowning, showing a little disgust.
The yellow-robed man seemed to sense Leo hidden in the shadows, but he was not sure of his feelings, so after finding nothing unusual with his eyes, he walked into the shadows again and swept back and forth with his hand.
However, Leo's invisibility shadow was like a parallel subspace, and even if the yellow-robed man's hand swept over him, he couldn't touch anything.
After a fruitless search, the yellow-robed man's actions also attracted the attention of the other yellow-robed people, who moved over one after another, and asked their companions a few words in that harsh voice, and after hearing the companion's explanation, several other yellow-robed people seemed unimpressed, and then taught the yellow-robed man a few words as if they were saying that his companion had something to do, and then pulled the yellow-robed man to continue walking, not taking his companion's feelings seriously.
The yellow-robed man wasn't sure if his feelings were wrong at the moment, so when he was pulled away, he didn't resist, but honestly followed a few people and walked outside.
As the figure of the yellow-robed man disappeared into the distance, Leo carefully sensed the surrounding situation, and after confirming that there was no one else, he stepped out of the shadows, and then quickly walked towards the tower.
Perhaps it was because the yellow-robed people thought that no one had the courage to enter the tower, so the door to the tower was not closed, and Leo easily entered the tower.
Although the tower is dozens of meters high, it has only four floors, and the area of each floor is not small, as Leo expected, bookcases full of books are arranged along the walls in a circle, and in the middle are some tables and chairs for reading, and the stone pillars that support the tower are all carved with some strange creatures that look extremely strange.
It's just that Leo, who entered the tower, was not attracted by the books in the tower and the statues of the strange creatures around him, his eyes immediately fell on the lamps on those desks, and his face was full of surprise and surprise.
It turned out that the lamps on the table were not the oil lamps that burned vegetable oil that Leo saw in the world of Velon, nor were they the electric lamps that are emerging now, but the energy conversion lamps that can be seen everywhere on the spaceships and warships where the Earth Federation is located.
This lamp can convert any energy, from the heat generated by human activity, the particle energy emitted by the engine of a battleship, etc., as long as the energy generated within its range of action can be converted into enough light energy to provide lighting.
The items that should have been seen on the space battleship now appeared on the desk of a strange planet, an unfamiliar island, and a strange library, which made Leo a little overwhelmed for a while.
At this time, he thought of the fragments of information he had received through the parasites inside the obsidian badge, and thought of the Origin Light, and he began to think that his speculation might be true, and the Veron World was probably in the same universe as the Earth Federation.
Leo didn't immediately make a positive judgment, but walked to the table, picked up the mother's energy conversion lamp, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
"The craftsmanship of the people of Wyabb, with the mark of the Wycombe Abbey people, is the goods of the Wyabb people. Leo didn't use any tools, just with his fingernails, he easily opened the seemingly seamless shell of the lamp, and then skillfully found the main control chip of the lamp, and saw the product number on it and the ion imprint for the custom square painting.
The Youyager people are one of the few pure technological races in the universe, they can't produce psionic energy because of their own physique, and they are completely insulated from the subspace, and for a long time, the civilization of the Youyager people has been at the bottom of the cosmic civilization.
In order to reverse the plight of the race, you Yag people can only give up the psionic civilization as the main body of the development of cosmic civilization, but aim the civilization development route at the road of science and technology, so as long as it is something that has a sense of science and technology, almost all of them have the figure of Youyag people, as small as the translator patch in the ear, as large as a planetary-level interstellar battleship, you Yager people will participate, and this kind of energy conversion lamp is also created by Youyag people, and it is one of the main export commodities of Youyag people.
As a wandering civilization, the Wycombe Abbey people are naturally an important pillar of civilization, and the relationship between the Wyagers and the Wycombe Abbey people is very good, almost more than sixty percent of the goods made by the Wyacbe Abbey people are handed over to the wandering caravans of the Wycombe Abbey people to operate, and the Wyabbe Abbey people will also stamp the mark of the Wycombe Abbey people on the goods specially provided for the Wycombe Abbey people, so as to distinguish them from other similar goods, and the price and quality of this marked goods are naturally much higher.
Seeing that this lamp is a specialty product of Wycombe Abbey people, Leo clearly realized that Wycombe Abbey people have definitely come to the world of Velen before, because this kind of commodity Wycombe Abbey people will never be handed over to other people to operate, but will only trade by themselves, and even the delivery is delivered in person, as for the reason, this may be related to the commercial contract signed between Wycombe Abbey people and You Yago people.
Seeing the exclusive goods of the Wycombe Abbey people here also means that the Wycombe Abbey people have indeed been here, as for how they came here, it is debatable, whether it is possible to enter the world of Velons by spaceship in the normal way, trade some goods with the locals, and then leave, or it may be that there is a shipwreck, the spaceship crashed into the world of Velon, and the goods in the spaceship were taken out, and after years of exploration to find a way to use it.
Of the two possibilities, Leo's intellect is to choose the second possibility, while intuition is on the first.
The reason why rational judgment is the second possibility is that this kind of thing often happens in the universe, some spaceships have accidents for some reasons and crash on a planet of low civilization, and the items inside are picked up by intelligent beings of low civilization, and after years of development, they have found a way for civilization to advance, so that the planetary civilization can be improved.
According to the expert investigation of the Earth Federation, the human beings of the old earth era were able to rise from a relatively backward non-interstellar civilization to the great power of the cosmic civilization in such a short period of time, most likely because of the knowledge of some other civilizations that fell on the earth.
It is also very likely that the history of the world of Velun is for this reason, from the mythical Middle Ages where the belief in primitive gods and witchcraft and clans were rampant, to the technological society with an extremely unique steam civilization, it is only a short period of two or three hundred years.
And the time taken to transform civilization is less than twenty years, if the world of Velen is a human being, then it means that his bloodline has mutated, and often the cause of the mutation is caused by the interference of external factors.
If it is the first possibility, this external factor must be the active participation of the Wycombe Abbey people, and this practice seriously violates some of the cases of the Cosmic Council, once the matter is exposed, even if the Wycombe Abbey people are the oldest cosmic civilization, it is impossible to escape punishment, so with the shrewdness of the Wycombe Abbey people, they will never do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves.
This is also the reason why Leo thinks it is the second possibility through rational analysis.
It's just that, compared to rational judgment, Leo trusts his intuition more, because rational judgment will cause wrong judgment due to the lack of data, but with his cognition, intuition, especially the intuition of psykers, is far more accurate than the results obtained from data analysis and rational deduction.
If it was really the Wycombe Abbey people who came to the world of Velon, and intervened in the development of civilization in the world of Velon, then what was the purpose of the Wycombe Abbey people?
Because in any way, it is a thankless task for the Wycombe Abbey people to do this, once the matter is exposed, then the business reputation that the Wycombe Abbey people have built up over the past countless years will collapse in an instant, and those cosmic civilizations that have long coveted the assets of the Wycombe Abbey people will take the opportunity to tear the Wycombe Abbey people to pieces like a pack of wolves.
"Is the Light of Origin really in the world of Velon?" Thinking about it, Leo felt that only the Light of Origin, the only spiritual belief of the Wycombe Abbey people, could make the Wycombe Abbey people take such a huge risk to do such a thing that actively interfered with the process of other civilizations.
It's just that a new problem is coming again, according to the current development of steam civilization in the world of Velon, the psionic civilization is in a state of decline and suppression, and from the perspective of the prospect of the development of steam civilization, it can be said that there is no way out, it is almost certain that after the development of steam civilization to a certain extent, it will completely stop, and it will stay in that civilization stage for a long time, or even forever, until the next civilization mutation appears.
If the Origin Light, the oldest omega-level higher creature in the universe, is in the Valon world, then the development of the steam civilization will definitely not help him in any way, just like those disappearing gods, it will only cause the decay of the gods, and only a strong psionic civilization can promote the further development of omega-level higher creatures.
Therefore, if the Light of Origin is really hidden in the world of Velonon for some unknown reason, and the steam civilization of the world of Velon is really led and promoted by the Wycombe Abbey people, then the purpose of the Wycombe Abbey people is not like helping the Light of Origin, but more like suppressing the Light of Origin.
"Maybe you can find a useful answer in these books!" Leo said to himself, confused, as he restored the lamp in his hand and put it back in its original position, turning his head to look at the books on the wall.
