"Don't talk nonsense, old fellow." "Cookies" are getting a little impatient. Because it heard several coughs coming from outside the backroom. It seems that Kurban is already in a bit of a hurry.

"Well, if I'm not wrong, you're an Awakened, right? Otherwise, there is no need for that guy in Kurban to bring you here. ”

"Yes."

"Yes, because Kurban treats you like his own kind. You and he are both Awakened. ”

"It's weird, old fellow. The people of the royal city of Gaia don't think of us as one of our kind, and they want us to disappear from this world. ”

"Because he doesn't know the world yet."

"You're getting more and more mysterious."

"Okay, you don't have to interject, listen to me, and you'll understand." Keith tried to keep his voice as smooth and deep as possible, which was the easiest way to do it.

"A long time ago, I had a deal with an old friend, a respected Busen, and a young human who wandered the wilderness. We soon learned that the young man was an outsider. ”

"Outsiders?"

"Yes, they're from another world."

"Ah, are you old and confused?"

"Don't interject, listen to me." Keith interrupted "Cookie's" shout and continued; "As an old man who values tradition and history, my companion Naine soon had a bold guess, and it was partially confirmed through the young man. For example: not only the young man and his companions, but also all the people in Gaia, who came from another world......"

"A bold guess." "Biscuit" sneered, clearly saying the opposite. "But it seems like a rumor that has been around for a long time, right? Once upon a time, those humans were proud of it, but then they vehemently denied it. ”

Of course they will deny it, but first they let it go, and because they are proud. Later, there was a strong denial, isn't it just clear that the problem is clear? ”

"Well, I'm going to accept your Fa. But what do you want me to do? Remove all the outsiders from this world? No Busen can do that, you know. ”

"Of course I wouldn't be so visionary. Actually, not only do I not intend for you and our people to fight to the death with humans. I'm also going to let you work with them. ”

"Cooperation, are you crazy or are you old and confused? Those humans aren't as simple as you think. Their weapons are varied, their intrigues are endless, their methods are even more cruel, and most importantly, they eat everything, and they like to dismantle the enemy's meat and stew it with all kinds of things. Things like honey and beard grass are creepy to think about......"

"Calm down, calm down...... Not all humans are like that, and we can't judge the eating habits of other races at will, even if you eat a harmless blade of grass, or even a dead leaf, there is a lot of life on it. Besides, the person I want you to find must be someone who has been rigorously selected by me to be able to cooperate with us. ”

"Okay, Case. I'm sure you're in the lead, but what's the point of all this? ”

"It's important. As I said, these humans are all from another world. Young man, then think about it, it doesn't matter what the boundaries of the world are, whether it's continents or oceans, or stars and winds. At least, they didn't belong here. ”

"You've just passed."

"So, think about it, what about the other than these humans? And are there other beings that we didn't know about, they also crept into our world. ”

"Cookie" scratched his head, apparently Keith's words were getting harder and harder to understand.

Keith paused for a moment, then added, "We know that life comes in many forms, from hairy beasts to giant beasts in the ocean. to mosquitoes, ants, and even things that we can't see or touch. So, what about the rest of the world? What do they look like? ”

"Biscuit" scratched his back and said with some hesitation: "Human ......"

"Humans may just happen to be too similar to our size, appearance, living habits, etc., to be noticed by us and talk about a creature." Keith scrambled.

"Huh...... Yours is so mysterious, like a child babbling gibberish. Biscuit rubbed his somewhat tight dough, but still didn't care.

"You're right, it's because I've lived so long that I've always refused to face up to the increasingly obvious facts, even if they're alive in front of me. It wasn't until I was imprisoned here by Kurban, knowing that my time was running out, that I began to imagine and figure it out in the air, and verify it in my heart over and over again. Even the dark truth has been touched. ”

"You want me to get you out?" "Biscuit" suddenly asks a question that has nothing to do with the old man's words.

But in the heart of "Cookie", the answer to this question is crucial. If the old man admits consciously or unconsciously, even happily, that he wants to gain life or freedom, then the credibility of his nagging will be greatly diminished.

Unexpectedly, Keith smiled softly. "Tell me the truth, child, I'm nearly one hundred and fifty years old." Even if I make it out alive, I won't be able to jump around much. But you're still young, and you have time and energy. That's why I decided to tell you everything, hoping that you will lead our people to bravely resist those evil lives, so that this world can continue in peace as it once was. ”

"Biscuit's" eyes blinked, and for the first time he really began to look at the old Busen Rao's appearance. Its skull was large, its brows and cheekbones were prominent, and its eyes were half-squinted, but they were restrained, showing how strong its physique and exuberant energy it once was. But now, its face was extremely emaciated, and it seemed that except for large pieces of bone, only old fur remained, and not half of flesh and blood. It drooped, and it seemed that no matter how hard it tried, it could only open a gap. Indeed, it has run out of oil......

But going to death is one thing, and going to death voluntarily is another. As soon as Keith's words came out, he set off a storm in the heart of "Biscuit".

"Damn it, Keith." "Biscuit" shook his shoulders a few times. "I had already decided to distance myself from our kind. Now you're going to let me save them. Also, I'm not afraid of your ridicule, in fact, I'm a coward, a real coward. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight or die as bravely as you do. ”

"It's not wrong to be brave, child, but you have the most basic respect for your own life. Many times, it is more respectable than bravery. ”

I don't know if Case's words came from the heart, but "Cookies" sounded very refreshing, and I couldn't wait to nod a fraction. It felt like it had fallen for the old guy's trick.

Keith looked at Biscuit's face for a moment before saying, "Looks like your buddies used to bully you, and you were afraid of them, so you bravely escaped again." But what about them? Do they dare to go deep into the jungle alone and continue to bully you? ”

"Giggle......" "Cookie" laughed. "No, old fellow. Because those guys are dead, and there is not a single one left. But I want to be clear; They didn't die at my hands. ”

Keith's eyes widened for the first time, giving him a forcible look, but he soon drooped. "Good, good...... No matter how they die, you're better than I thought. Perhaps, you are singled out of this world, unique. ”

There were a few more coughs outside, and it was clear that Kurban couldn't wait. "Biscuit" glanced out, and when he withdrew his gaze, he saw that Keith was looking at him intently, like two burning torches.

"Listen, child, what I tell you next will change the rest of your life, and most likely the future of this world. So you have to keep everything in my heart well. ”

"Got it, Senpai." "Biscuit" was intimidated by Keith's momentum and couldn't help but use honorifics.

"First of all, our world is at stake, and some outsiders have broken into our world. Trying to occupy it, possess it, or even destroy it. As the natives of the world of Sirte, we must rise up to the challenge. ”

"Cookie" nodded, not daring to interrupt Keith's words at will.

"These outsiders must have a great ability to cross distant time and space and come to our world. And with the strength of our Busenrao, it must be difficult to resist. So, we have to find ways to gather more strength to fight them. ”

"Biscuit" felt that the old man wanted to put a heavy burden like a mountain on its shoulders. The knee bent unconsciously.

Keith took a breath and continued, "Based on my experience for most of my life, there are too few forces in this world that can truly unite with us humans. Batmen are a good choice, but they are always irritable and light-hearted, and sooner or later they will pay a terrible price for it. As for those hairy beasts, although they have strong bodies, their numbers are too small to help us in the battle of the world. And those despicable beasts such as the Treants and the Forest Python are our enemies, and they are cunning, selfish and greedy by nature, and have no hope at all. ”

Keith shook the withered head with great effort, and said, "As for the other mosquitoes, ants, birds, and shrimps, I don't know how to communicate with them, how to use their powers. In short, although our world is large, there are very few forces that can be brought together. ”
