Chapter 825 Untouchables
Ten days later.
After flying all the way, the two finally crossed the eye of the storm and arrived at the Black Academy of Natural Sciences in the center of the eye.
In comparison, the two most peripheral central academies in academia today are the Black Academy of Natural Sciences and the Thunder Century Academy of Sciences. One is located deep in the wasteland, and the other is located deep in the sea. They are also among the seven major centers. The only one among the Academy of Sciences that has not received any radiation contamination.
"Now that we're here, it's really unreasonable not to pay that guy a visit."
Nikolay murmured to himself.
Lei Luo came here because it was a major event involving the top forces in the academic world, and even a private matter between the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences and the Black Academy of Liberal Arts. Naturally, he was not able to participate in it. However, one of his old friends here also learned about the visit. Suddenly, it was none other than [Gravedigger] Vidon, who had gone on the night expedition with him sixty years ago, and the holder of the holy magic weapon "Book of Death".
In this way, Nicholas took the initiative to say goodbye to Lei Luo quite wisely, and agreed to go to the Thunder Century Academy of Science together after Lei Luo finished his work here.
Lei Luo naturally agreed.
After Nicholas left, Lei Luo did not immediately contact the top management of Heiwen College, but wandered around the streets of this city on the edge of academia.
He looked thoughtfully at the completely different cultural environment on the street.
There is no need to mention the eight-legged self-propelled device and the balloon airship airport. These conventional means of transportation have already penetrated the routes of major academies of science, and are completely popular in academies of sciences large and small, connecting the seven major academia into a whole.
But compared to the city streets of the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences, which are filled with a large number of engineering scholars, the streets of the Black Academy of Arts and Sciences are mostly filled with adventurers who are similar to the mercenaries of the Principality during the time when the Holy See ruled. The streets are lined with people. After collecting the remains of various wasteland monsters, adventurers often set up a stall on the ground using various animal skins.
These remains of monsters are obviously the harvest of these adventurers. Occasionally, there will even be a few magic materials that Lei Luo cannot recognize.
"What, are you not satisfied, Master? Do you want to take a look at this mutated cat's eye with dark eyes?"
When Lei Luo passed the stall of a male scholar who looked quite forthright, the man suddenly became interested when he saw that Lei Luo was just about to leave after observing for a while.
He seemed to realize that Lei Luo was a big patron.
You must know that the magic materials he laid out are rare treasures that are rarely seen. Whether they are used to make high-level magic potions, magic weapon alchemy, or even the basic structure of the real body, they are more than enough. This man actually He just took a few glances and left. Either he had no vision or he had a high vision. He was obviously more inclined towards the latter.
This way.
This man who set up a stall on the ground with a piece of high-grade animal skin actually took the initiative to entertain them.
After he saw Lei Luo stop, he carefully took out a green eyeball from the space box, which looked extremely spiritual.
Space boxes are now quite common in academia.
Since the Windsor Academy of Business Sciences developed the subspace debris solidification and inlay technology, in addition to being used in the Curvature Reef Project, it has also begun to mass-produce space boxes for sale, and the funds obtained from the sales are used to support various programs of the Academy Alliance.
The space box in the wasteland is very different from the space box in the middle-earth land of Aurora.
The space boxes in the Wasteland are generally composed of several or dozens of micro subspaces with a side length of only about five centimeters connected in series, like a series of small grids. The quality is far inferior to that of the Middle Earth of Aurora. space box, so although it has been popularized in the wasteland, it is not popular among senior scholars.
Lei Luo looked at this weird eyeball and seemed to have some interest. He took it casually and slowly played with it and observed it.
"Is the ghost-eyed cat you're talking about the mutant breed from the wasteland here?"
"Your Excellency, are you from another central storm center?"
The man suddenly asked with surprise.
You must know that crossing the death storm across the eye of the storm is not only a dangerous journey, but also very expensive. Whether it is taking a balloon fortress specially designed for short-distance crossings of the death storm route between the eye of the storm, or traveling independently, ordinary scholars cannot afford it. of.
Even he only spent a huge amount of money to go to Vladik Academy of Sciences twenty years ago because of the examination of extraordinary scholars.
In this way, he was undoubtedly more certain that the person in front of him was a big patron.
"To be honest, I don't know much about this. Even the name Youyan Cat was given by me privately."
The other party's words suddenly made Lei Luo more interested.
The man smiled naively and said: "Various mutated creatures emerge in endlessly in the wasteland. Maybe this species is quite harmless today, but in a few years it has mutated into an extremely dangerous form. Even the mature body and larvae are divided into completely different forms. If you want It is simply unrealistic to have a detailed understanding of every creature in the Wasteland, because the biggest feature of the creatures in the Wasteland is adaptive variation."
Lei Luo was a little impressed by the man's opinion.
The Black Academy of Natural Sciences can educate such scholars. It seems that they are indeed the real ones who can outdo the X Academy of Progress.
The man continued: "As for this ghost-eyed cat, although I can't identify its specific species, due to its strange abilities during its lifetime, I guess it is probably some kind of super-mutated wasteland creature, or even a creature from a hundred years ago. It is also possible that a new mutant species will be born after the ancient creatures that escaped from the underground world combine with the wasteland creatures here. Its own strength is not strong, but it can perform mental deterrence, especially when the moon is full, its The eyes seem to have magical powers and can peek into the weakest memories of the subject. It is quite evil. I finally made up my mind to dig out this eyeball."
Well?
"What about the other eye?"
Lei Luo asked in confusion as he held his green eyes in his hand.
The business here even attracted the attention of passers-by, who all took a peek at the eyeball in Lei Luo's hand.
"Strange to say, after a long period of observation, it seems that only this eyeball of this ghost-eyed cat has undergone an unknown mutation. The other eyeball is ordinary and has nothing special about it, so I discarded it. "
Lei Luo heard this, thoughtfully, and nodded slowly.
Even if it is, the more it looks at this eyeball, the more mysterious and weird it becomes.
With his vision, he could detect at a glance that the eyeball itself had hypnotic and hallucinogenic effects, but it was of no use to him who possessed a super-physical mental power. There was no need to think about making a magic weapon or a real body structure.
But the other party mentioned that after the full moon, this eye has a special effect, spying on the weakest point of the spiritual will?
As far as Lei Luo knows, all creatures that rely on the power of the moon have more or less acquired some strange abilities through superhuman beings due to ancient wars, and then inherited them through blood instinct.
To some extent, these creatures are potential derivatives, but they may not even realize it.
If I remember correctly, the full moon is almost here these days.
Think of this.
After Lei Luo inquired about the price of the Nether Eye Cat's Eye, he spent two high-level crystals to buy it. This made the bold male scholar burst into laughter. He seemed to be quite satisfied with Lei Luo's generous spending. He gave Lei Luo several ancient animal skin books as gifts.
It can be seen that these animal skin books are all ancient books before the wasteland disaster. They record the first-level biomagnetic fields such as hardening, softening, and elasticity. Although they are not too useful to modern scholars, High value, but better than collection value and historical significance.
After wandering around the streets of Hei Erwen, Lei Luo finally took out the crystal ball.
"Jiejiejiejie, my old friend, I have visited you downstairs."
The background of Lei Luo's crystal ball light curtain made Hei Erwen, who had just connected to the crystal ball, almost stare out of his eyes. He quickly took off the cigarette rod hanging from the corner of his mouth. Without thinking too much, he put down the coffee in his hand and opened it himself. The window jumped forward and flew towards Lei Luo who was waiting under the tower.
Lei Luo stood alone, holding the staff of particle world eyes.
Due to the deliberate concealment, no pedestrians on the street recognized his identity.
"Hehehe, Master Lei Luo has come all the way to be here as a guest. It's really wonderful and welcome. But why don't you say hello in advance before coming, so that I can prepare in advance."
Like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, under the wide-eyed gaze of the nearby tower guard scholar, Hei Erwen let out a hearty laugh and motioned for Lei Luo to follow him into the tower.
The lifts are very fast.
In just a moment, Lei Luo followed Hei Erwen to the private office on the top floor of the tower. After receiving the fragrant coffee from Hei Erwen, he sat down on the sofa relaxedly.
There is no need to say a series of polite words.
"The reason why I came here...should Master tell me something?"
"something?"
Hei Erwen's smile remained unchanged and he said, "What do you want to know?"
Seeing that Hei Erwen still looked like an old fox hiding his secrets, Lei Luo stopped talking nonsense.
After a slight twist, his body actually gained thickness in the wave-like twisting, and gradually turned into a children's painting. Only the crystal skull with the staff of particle world eyes in his hand was left, and the strange right eye remained. With true colors.
Hei Erwen's face changed slightly, knowing that Lei Luo was trying to show him intimidation.
With a slight shock in his heart, he stared at Lei Luo, who had completed the transformation of his life form. He actually had the illusion that he was facing the singularity of the twisted gravitational source, which was full of unreality.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
Lei Luo, who lost his thickness like a child's drawing, is like a real projection, and the law behind this projection is a gravitational singularity full of distortion. The mystery of advanced life forms after the fusion of the will and law of a fifth-level creature.
"What did the Central Civilization Envoy tell you?"
Lei Luo's voice was a little cold, and he showed his dissatisfaction without reservation, and said solemnly: "Today's academic world is an alliance decision-making system. Our war with superhumans has shown enough potential, so what exactly does the central civilization want? Treat us aliens! I remember they said at the beginning that once we fail to show the value of our existence, we will be erased together with the superhumans here!"
No wonder Lei Luo is so dissatisfied. This is really a matter of life and death in the academic world.
Lei Luo is confident that he will achieve complete victory in the dark zero-sum war with the tidal civilization, and is even confident of defeating the black death civilization in the depths of the more distant continent, but he will not blindly believe that the human academic community already has the ability to compete with the superhuman civilization. A higher-level lighthouse-level civilization exists that deals with physical civilization.
He stared at Hei Erwen and said gloomily: "So now, are humans their potential allies, or are they crickets in the back garden, or something else? This feeling of a knife on my neck is not just for me, but for others. People have also expressed serious dissatisfaction. Don’t forget that you are a member of the human race at any time, not a messenger of civilization from the central government.”
silence.
After a while, Hei Erwen took a deep breath and said a piece of information that made Lei Luo slightly stunned.
"The central civilization has made the final decision to keep our secrets forever, and will no longer interfere with or actively contact us, and will determine this in the form of law until the day we proactively contact them with our own abilities. .”
"Why?"
Lei Luo asked in confusion.
Hei Erwen also looked thoughtful.
"The Central Civilization Envoy told me that this is not actually their own decision, but the intelligence they obtained through their own superhuman lurkers. After the Battle of Pangula, the superhumans have regarded us as a potential threat, and The ranking is extremely high, but it also has hidden information about the untouchables. It is very strange. Even the central civilization cannot explain it. It can only guess that humans have something that has a substantial impact on the superhuman astral siphon doomsday catastrophe plan. It’s a sexual threat, we just haven’t discovered it yet.”
After a pause, Hai Erwen looked at Lei Luo, as if he wanted to see some answers from Lei Luo.
"So the central civilization speculates that the reason why the superhumans gave up continuing the war with humans may be because they don't want us to discover this power. The central civilization also doesn't want to interrupt the process of our civilization after his interference process, thereby destroying the superhuman beings. the perceived threat potential.”
Lurker?
While the superhuman beings are developing derivatives to the star screen world, are the top civilizations also able to develop lurkers to the superphysical star?
Compared with the various observation modes in human academia, the information that lurkers can obtain is undoubtedly more detailed and direct.
As for the current academic world, or humans in the Land of Star Screen, they can be considered high-level potential threats by superhuman beings...
That should be the only one.
"Aren't you able to access the central civilization too?"
Hei Erwen could see that Lei Luo still had a certain degree of doubt about himself and did not completely believe him.
"In fact, I was only a passive party in contact from beginning to end. I even mentioned you many times during the contact process, but to them, all of us are the same, just like every ant in our eyes is the same of."
The metaphor was vivid, but not very friendly, and showed no respect for civilizations of the same level. Lei Luo's face was slightly ugly, but he nodded silently.
