Entering the library, you are greeted by rows of bookshelves, and books packed into the shelves. Some are animal skins, some are paper, and some are actually rock books. There are books that look ancient, and there are books that don’t look ancient. All in all, the variety of books here is staggering.
The Night Watchmen are not a race that loves reading, but the Lord of Guye City has collected so many books in this library. His dedication to this city and his good intentions are evident.
"Wow! There are so many books. I have never seen so many books. In my hometown, I have only seen a few books collected in the patriarch's home." Cailing looked very surprised.
Heini was also surprised, her blue eyes slightly dilated, and she didn't even blink for a while.
Xia Lei's eyes quickly swept across the rows of bookshelves. The names of all the books he passed entered his mind one by one, and were then processed and classified.
Although the perspective sight here cannot be used normally, he still has the means to quickly grasp the contents of the book.
After scanning it, Xia Lei walked to a bookshelf and pulled out a thick animal skin book from the bookshelf.
The book in the Beast Skin Book is called "Dark Ages", which is a book introducing the history of the dark world of death.
Xia Lei did not open "Dark Age", but injected a trace of desire energy into the book. This trace of desire energy is like a thread that connects all the words and illustrations in the book one by one and transmits it back to the brain in the form of information.
This is Xia Lei's method of reading and learning, which no one can match.
"Long, aren't you?" Cailing asked. Xia Lei held a book but did not read it, but stood there motionless in a daze, which made her feel strange.
Xia Lei smiled slightly, said nothing, and put "Dark Age" back on the bookshelf. In just such a short period of time, he had the entire "Dark Age" in his mind, not to mention a single text or an illustration, not even a single punctuation mark.
He didn't bother to pick out any more books from the bookshelf. He put his hands directly against the bookshelf, and then injected two streams of desire energy into the bookshelf. As soon as these two strands of desire energy left his palm, they spread quickly like tree roots, branching out one after another, and then plunged into all the books on the bookshelf except "Dark Age". At this moment, ancient books, ancient books, animal skin books, paper books, rock books, all the words and illustrations of the connected books poured into his brain.
Some of these books are written in Blue Moon language, and some are written in Night Watch language. Although he has not fully mastered the latter, it does not have much impact on his analysis and understanding, because he can Use the content before and after to associate the unreadable content. As for books written in Blue Moon language, that's out of the question. He is very familiar with this Blue Moon language.
In this way, the history of the dark world of death was quickly formed in his brain. His brain compiled a complete history of the dark world of death based on the texts and illustrations he "downloaded".
In this book about the history of the dark world of death, the Blue Moon people once ruled the dark world of death. However, when the technological development of the Blue Moon people stagnated, the Night Watchmen came from behind and relied on their own evolution and mastery of blood crystal energy. After using technology, the civilization established by the Night Watch replaced the technological civilization of the Blue Moon people.
The Night Watchers established a powerful empire in the dark world of death, which is of course the known area. Its name is the "Black Sun Empire", with a population of tens of billions. The imperial capital is located in the center of the Black Sun Empire, and its name is very special - Doomsday City.
Ash City is located on the northwest border of the Black Sun Empire. To the east is the direction leading to Doomsday City, and to the west is the vast wilderness.
The civilization established by the Blue Moon people is in the farther east, and that place is called the Land Abandoned by the Gods. The empire established by the Blue Moon people is called "The Kingdom of God", and the most recent dynasty has a history of millions of years. However, the number of Blue Moon people is only about 10 million, which is simply not comparable to the number of Night Watchmen.
In addition to these two empires, there are hundreds of civilizations established by different races in the known area. Some are empires, some are dynasties, some are federations, and some are tribal alliances. There is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming. There are even more "minority" tribes like the Black Winged People and the Butterfly People, scattered all over the land like stars in the sky of death.
After grasping these situations, Xia Lei had a strange feeling. Compared with the opposite universe world, this world that should be dead and silent, a world where life should not exist, the life forms here are richer and more luxuriant. Even the genes and evolution that make up life are much more advanced!
"This..." Xia Lei felt shocked and weird in his heart, "From the perspective of nurturing life, it feels like the opposing universe world and the dark world of death are completely reversed. The life forms and life levels here are far better than those in the opposing world. How is it possible that there are more and more advanced worlds in the universe? What causes this inverted phenomenon?"
It is indeed an inversion. A simple and clear illusion is that this is the real place where life is born. The opposite universe world he came from is like a hobbling old man who is dying. It can no longer create new life forms, nor can it create new life forms. No higher life form can be created.
"Could it be..." A thought suddenly flashed through Xia Lei's mind, "Could this be the reason why I came to the dark world of death? That mission is to correct things that were originally upside down? That box, the box of the world, is to correct The key to this mistake is why you want me to retrieve that fragment? Even the destruction of the Eldar civilization is related to this reversal? "
This is undoubtedly a wild guess with no evidence to prove it, but isn’t the truth sometimes hidden in some seemingly unrealistic conjectures
Xia Lei walked towards another bookshelf, which contained books on dead animals and plants. He also wanted to know about the dead beasts and all kinds of strange plants in the dark world of death.
This time Heini and Cailingbi did not follow, but stayed where they were and muttered.
"I don't think Long is here to read. He seems to be looking for something." Cailing said.
Heini said: "I don't think Long came here to read, but I don't think he came here to find something. He probably wants us to prove that he is literate and knowledgeable."
"Why did he do what he did?" Cailing looked confused.
Heini shook her head, "I don't know about this... By the way, how are you thinking about it?"
"What?"
"Milk, give him milk." Heini said.
Cailing's little face suddenly turned red, "I... I'm still thinking about it, but you, do you really want to produce milk for him?"
Heini nodded, "We black-winged people have a clear grudge. He gave me freedom and gave my people freedom. I am willing to do anything for him, including producing milk."
"But... we are still slaves now, and your tribe and my brother are still imprisoned in the dungeon." Cailing said, as if she was reminding Heini that Xia Lei had not yet fulfilled his promise.
Heini smiled, "He is very special. I don't know why I believed him when I first saw him, and I am willing to believe him."
"Well, we Butterfly people are not ungrateful people. If he saves me, he will go out, and also save my brother, and let us be free, then I..." After hesitating, Cailing said: "I am also willing to give He produces milk.”
Heini smiled and said, "I knew you had this plan. We are friends and I understand you."
While the two women were whispering and talking, Xia Lei had already "turned over" the bookshelf. His brain was like a bottomless black hole that no amount of knowledge could fill.
Putting away his hands, Xia Lei's brain quickly completed the compilation of the "Encyclopedia of Animals and Plants". After sorting it out for a while, a black seed suddenly popped up in his brain, and he was immediately stunned.
The black seeds sorted out by the brain are the black nuts that the snake-skin man lost, and their names are cherry tomatoes. Of course it is not the cherry tomato sold in the supermarket. It is recorded in a very ancient rock book, and its history is much older than that rock book.
Cherry tomatoes are equivalent to dinosaurs on the earth. They were confirmed to be extinct, but they didn't expect that the snake-patterned man actually got a sack of cherry tomatoes. If the night watch noble knew what cherry tomatoes were, I'm afraid he would kill the snake-patterned man without hesitation and then snatch the bag of cherry tomatoes away.
Cherry tomatoes themselves have little energy and taste unpleasant. However, according to records in the ancient rock book, they are the "gene fruit" that created life. Its fruit contains substances that promote the perfection and purification of genes. With its existence, the gene chain that constitutes life will be perfected and more stable.
Don't underestimate this role of perfection and stability, because the reason why people die of old age is because the gene chain will become unstable during the life cycle, and then errors will occur, eventually leading to aging and death. But once this problem is solved, human lifespan will be calculated in one thousand or even ten thousand years!
In other words, if he extracts the perfect and genetically stable material of this cherry tomato and brings it back to the earth, then human beings will have a long life, and people who are a thousand, thousands, or even ten thousand years old will appear. !
But what excites Xia Lei the most is not this, but that he finally found a way to prevent people from the past from dying suddenly! He can even use cherry tomatoes as the basis to turn the white ghosts in the suspended city into real living people!
The Eldar people have the ability to create life and civilization. He has similar abilities, but he cannot do it. Now he has opened the door!
The key to this door is cherry tomatoes.
"Hahaha..." Xia Lei couldn't help but laugh excitedly, "This is really a treasure I picked up while walking. If I meet that snake-patterned man again, I will give him a fortune. Only in this way can I express my gratitude. Such love!"
"Long, what are you laughing at?" Heini's voice said.
"Who do you want to thank?" Cailing's voice said.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's talk. I'll read some more books."
Heini and Cailing couldn't help but look at each other.
"He is really pretending to read, but this is too fake. He almost doesn't touch those books." Cailing said.
Heini didn't say anything. She looked at Xia Lei's back in a daze.
