The first book, "An Analysis of Painting Techniques,"
It's useless, just throw it away.
The second book is "On the Birth of a Beautiful Voice".
Instead of throwing it away,
The third book, The Colors of the World,
Leo flipped through a few pages, but it was still about drawing. Useless, he threw it away.
Leo looked through the books one by one, searching for them one by one, but most of the books in his Shadow Space were about introducing art; there were no other books on science, nor any of the knowledge Leo wanted.
"That's impossible. How could such an advanced civilization be entirely about art?"
" Yaoyao, take out the books you put away. Let me see if there are any problems."
"OK."
With Yaoyao little paw, countless books appeared from the space, almost filling the entire room.
Leo took a deep breath. If it was just that the books in his Shadow Space didn't have any about natural sciences, then there was no problem; it was probably a problem when the books were packed.
After all, civilization on Earth has only developed for a few thousand years, and there are countless books about art.
But if Yaoyao the books here don't introduce science, then there's definitely something wrong with the Homo Sapiens World, and it's a big problem.
As Leo looked through the books one by one, he found that all of Yaoyao's books were unimportant. Even the ones on natural sciences and basic mathematics were just very basic introductions to the subject.
If we were to draw an analogy to knowledge on Earth, it wouldn't even reach the level of a university undergraduate.
How could such an advanced civilization only have such a limited level of knowledge progress? Absolutely not.
That single, flat, flying machine was already beyond the level of knowledge on Earth, yet Leo couldn't find any trace of it in their civilization's system.
Leo felt a chill run down his spine, his back trembling with fear. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became. Goosebumps stood on end, and a cold sensation shot from his heels to the top of his head.
This miniature world is not as simple as it seems; it definitely hides a huge secret.
"Could it be that the Homo sapiens leader deceived us? He deliberately hid his advanced knowledge from us," Yaoyao guessed.
"It's not impossible, but the possibility is extremely small."
Leo gestured for Yaoyao to take the books away, and kept thinking back on everything that had happened in the manor. But no matter how many times he thought about it, apart from the issue of weapons, Leo couldn't find anything strange. Everything seemed so reasonable.
But considering their knowledge, this logic seems utterly illogical.
How could a civilization with only a basic level of knowledge possess so much advanced technology?
Without knowledge of alloys, specific smelting techniques, and a corresponding steel mill, where did you get all that steel?
Did it appear out of thin air?
Who would believe that a flying machine could appear out of thin air?
"Master Leo, the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard has decided to sign a pact with the Homo Sapiens World to peacefully resolve this expedition."
Just as Leo Xi was completely baffled, the command center's voice came from inside the crystal ball.
"What time and what place?"
"The contract will be signed tomorrow afternoon on their Mount Sayeda."
"I see."
" The Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard, having heard of the Master's contributions in these negotiations, wishes the Master to attend the signing ceremony."
I have something very important to take care of tomorrow. Please allow me to think about it before giving you a reply.
"Looking forward to good news from the master."
Leo declined the invitation from the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard, staring blankly ahead with a dazed expression, his brain rapidly analyzing what was happening there.
"Why don't you tell the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard what you've discovered? Maybe he'll find something," Yaoyao suggested.
Upon hearing Yaoyao's words, Leo's gaze deepened and flickered. He rejected Yaoyao's suggestion, saying, "No need to say anything. Since the signing date has already been set, let's just sign the contract as normal."
"It's not in the nature of us wizards for a Stigmata Wizard to go back on their word."
"Aren't you afraid something might happen during the signing?"
"I just want to see if anything happens, but I'm not going anyway." Leo looked at Yaoyao with a mysterious and eerie smile.
"You're so naughty." Yaoyao instantly understood what Leo wanted to do, and gave Leo a knowing, mischievous smile.
Benji was completely bewildered by the cryptic conversation between Leo and Yaoyao. He could roughly guess what would happen at tomorrow's signing ceremony. Leo had a premonition but didn't want to report it and waited for things to unfold.
Based on the information he had just received, Leo learned that the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard would be going to the highest peak in the Homo Sapiens World tomorrow afternoon to sign a contract.
Leo knew that mountain; it was called Sayeda, which in Homo sapiens' language meant "the abode of the gods."
Soaring straight into the sky, exceeding 25,000 meters in height, it is hailed as the backbone of the Homo Sapiens World.
If Homo sapiens were to actually launch a sneak attack during the covenant ceremony, the most likely location would be this mountain.
After all, given the frail bodies of Homo sapiens, even with their flying machines, this signing location was not suitable for them.
The very choice of this location speaks volumes.
Leo pulled out the books again and said to Yaoyao and Benji, "Now find all the information about Mount Sayeda and see if we can find anything."
There are too many books. Even if all three of them could remember everything they read, they would still need a lot of time to read them.
As a result, by the morning of the next day, they hadn't even finished reading one-twentieth of the book.
Because Mount Sayeda is the highest mountain in the Homo Sapiens World, it has long been endowed with special significance and shrouded in mystery over countless years.
This point has been extensively discussed by countless writers in the arts, resulting in a vast amount of writing about him.
Basically, one out of ten books contains a large portion of its content about Mount Sayeda, and the other books also introduce it to varying degrees.
"What utter nonsense is this? Saying that the greatest god lives at the highest point of Sayeda, that the god has the most beautiful daughter, and that all the Nilotites are descendants of this goddess."
"Isn't this just like the myths and legends that have been passed down in other civilizations? In order to find a noble reason for their origins, they associate themselves with gods. Anyway, these gods don't exist, and no one can question them." Yaoyao complained as she flipped through the book.
"My lord, all I see here is this too. It says that God lives on Mount Sayeda, and only the kindest person, who can climb to the top with their bare hands, has the chance to see the great God."
"As for descriptions of this god, there is nothing." Benji also summarized the information he had seen, which was nothing more than that there was a god on the mountain, and that the god favored the Nilotites.
This way of thinking, which imagines what one reveres as gods, is not unique to Homo sapiens; basically, any species with the capacity for thought would do the same.
Especially when a race is powerless to fight against nature, any unexpected situation can be interpreted as the capriciousness of God.
It is only wizards, a race that does not believe in gods and even kills gods, who completely abandon gods and embark on the path of rules.
Wizards love to grab the so-called gods of this world by the neck and ask them if they can die!
The wizard didn't believe it when he was told he would die and insisted on trying it.
Even if you say you won't die, the wizard might not believe it and would want to try it out.
Leo closed the book in his hand and suddenly asked, "Is their god necessarily bestowed by ordinary life?"
"Couldn't it be something that actually exists?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? We already investigated this world when we arrived. No elemental energy users have been born here, no extraordinary powers have been created, and no high-energy reaction points have been discovered. This is a world without World Lord."
"The gods in their stories are simply objects of religious worship."
"Otherwise, how could the World Will be so weak, unable to even suppress our strength to 20%?"
Yaoyao thought that Leo was confused by the revised book and started talking nonsense. He wanted to overturn what he had already decided.
If there truly is a World Lord cannot be detected even by wizarding methods, then this world would not be a micro-world at all; it would be at least a medium-sized world.
Faced with Yaoyao's questioning, Leo remained silent, but his mind continued to race.
He now hypothesizes that there exists a World Lord, having entered a period of dormancy as the world enters the Dharma-ending Age, suddenly appears when the world faces a crisis.
Has this ever happened?
It happened naturally.
In the records of the wizarding civilization, this happened not just once, but many times. Before they could even launch a surprise attack, they were strangled by the combined forces of the Stigmata Wizard.
As the vessel for the wizards' expeditions, the starship possesses comprehensive reconnaissance capabilities, leaving no hidden trace undetected.
That's why Yaoyao was so confident in saying that Leo was just overthinking things.
What if there truly is a World Lord with hidden abilities beyond the perception of the star mothership?
It's not impossible.
But how do we explain knowledge gaps?
Upon closer examination, the Homo Sapiens World appears to be shrouded in a vast shadow.
"The starship is moving towards Mount Sayeda," Yaoyao reminded Leo; the signing ceremony was about to begin.
Let's leave here first.
Leo flew away from the starship with Benji and Yaoyao. Watching the starship disappear into the distance, Leo waved his hand, and an Ice Mirror appeared in front of Leo.
The Ice Mirror displayed a moving starship, which was the Ice Mirror magic Alice used to view distant scenes.
After the two confirmed their relationship, they exchanged a lot of witchcraft techniques, and Leo naturally learned some useful minor witchcraft techniques, one of which was the Ice Mirror.
Leo conjured another Ice Mirror, and after adjustments, it displayed the situation on Mount Sayeda.
At this moment, quite a few Homo sapiens have appeared on the mountaintop, all waiting with smiles for the wizard's arrival!
