On the streets of Red Square, the leader of the snake people, Babas, the leader of the Dryads, Saka, and the leader of the Chimora tribe, Yaga, walked side by side, and they left the Cathedral of St. Basili without any one stopping them, and there were no pursuers behind them, just like Mavi said, as long as they did not actively harm humans, they could leave at any time.

"Barbas, what are you thinking now?" Squirming his arm-thick rhizome, Saka, the leader of the Treants, asked in a hoarse voice as he looked at Barbas, who had been observing the human city of Mosk, with an expressionless face.

“..... I wonder when the snake people will be able to build such a civilization. The forked tongue sizzled, and Barbas said very seriously.

"Civilization...."Saka began to ponder, "I don't quite understand the meaning of civilization, for us Treants, it is enough to have a land to inhabit, and the rest is natural, and we have never thought of establishing any civilization. ”

"The Treant Clan has a long lifespan, close to immortality, and has very little demand, so naturally there is no need to fight for anything, but our snake race is different, if we want to continue for a long time, it will definitely clash with human civilization, we need resources, and humans also need resources...."

"According to you, the snake people and humans are supposed to be in competition, so why are you here to participate in this meeting?" Saka asked.

"Because the place where we recovered has long been occupied by humans." Pabas looked at the tall Mosk Theater in the distance and said: "There is such a thing as turf, whoever grabs it belongs to whom, the land has no thoughts, but the life living on the land has thoughts, and the comparison is a fist, and whoever has a big fist has more territory." ”

"The place where the snake people recovered, in the eyes of humans, is the land that belongs to the Romanov Kingdom, if you have read the book, you will know that there is a general consciousness called territorial sovereignty in human society, for example, you were born in this land, your ancestors have lived in this land for generations, you should be the owner of this land, and human beings will naturally regard the land as their own property..."

The branches and leaves swayed, as if nodding, and Saka said: "Actually, we transcendents are the same, enclosing a piece of land, it will be regarded as our own territory and home. ”

"But what makes humans different from many otherworldly races is that they live with some beings, like livestock in captivity at home, birds and beasts in the forest... You say they are brutal, they are indeed brutal, but you have to say that they are broad-minded, and they are indeed broad-minded. "I have found that as long as you do not claim sovereignty over a certain area and encroach on the fruits of their labor, the sense of human territory is very weak, and many animals can live with humans, and as long as they recognize the dominance of humans, they can get help from humans....."

Saka turned over the branch, and the old man looked at Babas motionlessly: "Acknowledging the dominance of humans, that's called pets, is the snake people willing to become pets played by humans?" ”

"No, but the Blood Clan and the Seran Clan have shown me another possibility." Babas said in a deep voice: "We transcendent races may really be able to integrate into human society and live with them. ”

"Why live with humans?" Saka was puzzled.

"Because of progress." Babas's tone was firm, not at all joking: "More than two months ago, I woke up from my grave, and with good luck, I met a human peddler who was reselling books near the main road, and as soon as he saw me, he was so frightened that he threw away the carriage and fled, and the whole carriage of books fell into my hands. ”

"One of the books mentions the integration process of tribe-collective-socialization, and after reading it, I found that human civilization is constantly evolving, from tribe to federation, from federation to kingdom, human social civilization is constantly changing, and every change will make human beings stronger."

"This is civilization, and it is also the evolution of human beings, maybe human beings themselves are very weak and cannot compete with us transcendentals, but through civilization, they have established churches, and they have used a collective form to fight against danger, isn't this a great wisdom?"

Pabas spoke faster and faster, as if these words had been pressed on his heart for a long time: "Let the weak no longer be weak, let the strong no longer be strong, civilization is like a fire that can overthrow everything, constantly urging human progress." ”

"The book says that hundreds of years ago, human beings were still in the Iron Age, using swords to fight danger, and hundreds of years later, a weapon called a musket appeared, if in a few hundred years, what should human civilization develop?"

"Humanity is constantly progressing and evolving, and we, the transcendent race, have been hesitating in place, relying on our innate strength to not make progress, and these forces have brought us convenience, but they can also destroy us."

Listening to Babas's reasoning, Saka fell into deep thought for a long time, and after a long time said, "You want to learn from humans and let the snake people join this evolution?" ”

"This may be our last chance." Babas sighed, "The Church of Truth needs us today, will it need us tomorrow?" ”

"If you had already made a decision, why did you leave the church just now?"

"There are many kingdoms in human beings, with different forces and different camps, the snake people have more than one choice, but I must choose a kingdom for my people who will not abandon us in the future, integrity is very important, a kingdom and church without integrity must not be trusted."

Babas suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at St. Basil's Cathedral in the distance, and after confirming that there were no pursuers, he said, "I want to go back, what are the plans of you two guys?" ”

The leader of the Dryad Clan, Saka, was silent, still hesitating, and Yaga, the leader of the Chimora Clan, was also hesitant, a little in a dilemma.

They believe that Ma Wei has integrity, and they believe that the Church of Truth will not send pursuers to hunt them down, but to go back means to believe in the truth, make a contract, and join the Church of Truth....

Everyone is the leader of a transcendent race, and they are high up on weekdays, so who would be willing to become a vassal of other forces?

The snake people have their own reasons to go back, but what reason do the treants need?

They inhabit the deepest part of the primeval forest, they have nothing to do with the world, no matter what happens in the outside world, they have an almost infinite lifespan, and they do not care about the change of human dynasties.

The lifespan of human beings, in the eyes of the Treants, is just a snap of a finger, fleeting, like a meteor in the sky, passing through life, and never to be seen again.

"Three! Wait a minute! ”

Just as Saka and Yaga hesitated, a shout suddenly sounded behind them, and when they looked back, it was not the pursuers, but Christopher, who was wearing the bishop's robes.

He was approaching on foot with three small boxes in his hand.

"Pope Mavi asked you to come?" Barbas frowned: "What is he going to do?" ”

"The priest suddenly remembered that he hadn't returned the gift yet, so he asked me to send it to the three of them."

Christopher handed the boxes to Babas, Saka, and Yaga one by one, and when they saw that they had taken them, they immediately took their leave, and did not say a word of retention.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Babas didn't say anything, and opened the wooden box, and among the soft red silk, there was a small melon seed between silver and cyan.

"This is...."

Feeling the breath of godhead carried on the little melon seeds, Babas's breath stagnated, a little incredulous, and just about to ask Saka's opinion, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and looked at it....

The old Saka, whose rhizomes were squirming frantically at the moment, could not see his old age at all, the branches and leaves swayed, the red apples fell to the ground, and he ran wildly in the direction of St. Basil's Cathedral, as if it were a betrayal of cucumber seeds to slow down.

“.......”

Looking at Saka's running figure, Babas asked, "Chief of the Chimora tribe, do you want to go back?" ”

Under the black cloth, something grabbed the wooden box and shrank in like lightning, the speed was too fast Babas didn't see it clearly, but Yaga nodded and it understood.

"It's not easy...."

Barbas tossed the cucumber seeds into his mouth and sighed.

It thought that the lineup it had seen earlier was the full strength of the Church of Truth.

But the appearance of cucumber seeds made it instantly realize that Ma Wei still hid a lot of things, cucumber seeds with the aura of gods, is this a treasure that a newly established church can come up with?

The strong foundation and strength of the Church of Truth completely dispelled Barbas's doubts, after all, the current Church of Truth, if explained by the stock market, is that it has completed angel, A, and B rounds of financing and went public.

The strength of the snake people is very strong, but in the eyes of the Church of Truth today, it is not necessary, and the later the decision is made, the lower the voice of the snake people in the Church of Truth.

It was a fool's errand to cherish the broom, and Babas, who had read a few books, would not make such a mistake, and as soon as Saka left, he walked in the direction of St. Basil's Cathedral with Jaga, the leader of the Chimora tribe.
