On the streets of Red Square, Babas, the leader of the Snake Tribe, Saka, the leader of the Dryad Tribe, and Yaga, the leader of the Chimora Tribe, walked side by side. They left St. Basil's Cathedral smoothly. No one blocked them, and there were no pursuers behind them. Just like Ma Wei said, as long as they don't actively harm humans, they can leave at any time.
"Babas, what are you thinking about now?" Saka, the leader of the dryad clan, looked at Babas, who was expressionless and had been observing the human city of Mosk, and asked in a hoarse voice with his arm-thick roots squirming.
"...I wonder when the snake people will be able to establish such a civilization." Babas said seriously as his long forked tongue hissed out.
"Civilization..." Saka began to ponder: "I don't quite understand the meaning of civilization. For us tree spirits, it is enough to have a piece of land to live in. The rest is natural. I have never thought about it. What kind of civilization can we build?”
"The tree spirits have a long lifespan, almost eternal life, and have very few needs. Naturally, they don't have to fight for anything. But our snake people are different. If we want to continue for a long time, we will definitely conflict with human civilization. We need resources, and humans also need resources. ....”
"According to you, the snake people and humans should be in a competitive relationship. If that's the case, why do you still come to this meeting?" Saka asked.
"Because the place where we revived has long been occupied by humans." Babas looked at the tall Mosk Theater in the distance and said: "Things like the land belong to whoever grabs it. The land has no thoughts, but the life living on the land If you have ideas, the competition is fists, and whoever has the bigger fists will have more territory."
"The place where the snake people revived is, in the eyes of humans, the land belonging to the Kingdom of Romanov. If you have read the book, you will know that there is a common consciousness in human society called territorial sovereignty. For example, if you are on this land Born, your ancestors have lived on this land for generations, you should be the owner of this land, and humans will naturally regard the land as their own property..."
The branches and leaves swayed, as if nodding, and Saka said: "In fact, we extraordinary beings are the same. If we encircle a piece of land, we will regard it as our own territory and home."
"But the difference between human beings and many extraordinary races is that they live with some beings, such as the livestock raised in the home and the birds and beasts in the forest... You say they are cruel, they are indeed cruel, but you say they have a big heart. Broad, and indeed broad-minded." Babas said: "I found that as long as you do not declare the sovereignty of a certain area and appropriate the fruits of their labor, human beings have a very weak sense of territoriality, and many animals can live with humans. Together, as long as they recognize human dominance, they can get human help..."
Saka turned to the side of the branch, and the old man looked at Babas motionless: "Recognizing the dominance of humans is called pets. Are the snake people willing to become pets that humans can play with?"
"No, but the Vampires and the Seran Clan made me see another possibility." Babas said in a deep voice: "We extraordinary races may really be able to integrate into human society and live with them."
"Why do you want to live with humans?" Saka was puzzled.
"Because of progress." Babas said firmly, not joking at all: "More than two months ago, I woke up from the grave. I was very lucky. I met a human vendor selling books near the main road. When he saw me, he was so frightened that he abandoned his carriage and ran away, and a whole carriage of books fell into my hands.”
“One of the books mentioned the integration process of tribe-collective-socialization. After reading it, I discovered that human civilization is constantly evolving. From tribe to federation, from federation to kingdom, human social civilization is constantly changing. Change, and every change will make human beings stronger.”
"This is civilization and the evolution of human beings. Perhaps human beings themselves are very weak and cannot compete with extraordinary beings like us, but through civilization, they have established churches and used collective forms to fight against dangers. Isn't this a great wisdom? "
Babas spoke faster and faster, as if these words had been pressed in his heart for a long time: "Let the weak no longer be weak, and let the strong no longer be strong. Civilization is like a fire that can overthrow everything, constantly promoting human progress. .”
“The book says that hundreds of years ago, humans were in the Iron Age, using swords to fight dangers. A few hundred years later, a weapon called a musket appeared. If another few hundred years passed, what would human civilization develop? "
"Human beings are constantly progressing and evolving, but we, the extraordinary race, have been stagnant, relying on our innate powers and not making progress. These powers have brought us convenience, but they can also destroy us."
Listening to Babas's inference, Saka fell into deep thought for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Do you want to learn from humans and let the snake people join this evolution?"
"This may be our last chance." Babas sighed: "Today the Truth Church needs us, will it still need us tomorrow?"
"If you had made your decision long ago, why did you leave the church just now?"
"Humanity has many kingdoms, with different forces and different camps. The snake people have more than one choice, but I must choose a kingdom for my people that will not abandon us in the future. Integrity is very important. A kingdom or church without integrity is Absolutely not to be trusted.”
Barbas stopped suddenly and turned to look at St. Basil's Cathedral in the distance. After confirming that there were no pursuers, he said, "I want to go back. What are your plans?"
The leader of the tree spirit tribe, Saka, did not say a word and was still hesitating. The leader of the Chimora tribe, Yaga, was also hesitant and was in a dilemma.
They believe that Ma Wei has integrity, and they also believe that the Truth Church will not send out soldiers to hunt them down. But going back means believing in the truth, making a contract, and joining the Truth Church...
Everyone is the leader of an extraordinary race, and they usually stand aloof. 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 tree spirits need?
They live in the deepest part of the primeval forest and have nothing to do with the world. No matter what happens in the outside world, they have nothing to do with them. They have an almost unlimited lifespan, and they don't care about the change of human dynasties.
In the eyes of the dryads, human lifespan is just a blink of an eye. It is fleeting, like a meteor in the sky passing through life, and then never seen again.
"Three people! Wait a minute, three people!"
Just when Saka and Yaga were hesitating, a shout suddenly sounded from behind. Looking back, it was not the pursuers, but Christopher who was wearing a bishop's robe.
He was coming on foot with three small boxes in his hand.
"Did Pope Marvel ask you to come?" Babas frowned: "What is he going to do?"
"The priest suddenly remembered that he had not returned the gift yet, so he asked me to deliver the gifts to the three of them."
Christopher handed the wooden boxes to Babas, Saka and Yaga one by one. After seeing them accept them, he immediately left without saying a word of apology.
Although he felt strange in his heart, Babas didn't say anything. He opened the wooden box and found a small melon seed between silver and cyan lying in the soft red silk.
"This is...."
Feeling the divine aura carried on the small melon seeds, Babas' breath froze and he was a little disbelieving. Just when he was about to ask Saka for his opinion, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him. He took a closer look...
The old Saka's roots were crawling crazily at this moment, and his previous octogenarian state was no longer visible. The branches and leaves were swaying, and the red apple fell to the ground. He rushed towards St. Basil's Cathedral, as if it was right to go slower. The betrayal of Qingguazi.
"...."
Looking at Saka's running figure, Babas asked: "Chief of the Chimora clan, do you want to go back?"
Under the black cloth, something grabbed the wooden box and shrank in like lightning. It was too fast for Babas to see clearly, but Yaga nodded, and it seemed to understand.
"It's not easy..."
Babas threw the cucumber seeds into his mouth and sighed.
It thought that the lineup it saw earlier was the full strength of the Church of Truth.
But the appearance of Green Melon Seed made him realize instantly that Ma Wei had hidden many things. Was Green Melon Seed with the aura of god a treasure that a newly established church could bring out?
The solid foundation and strength of the Truth Church completely reassured Babas. After all, the current Truth Church, if we use the stock market conditions to explain it, has completed angel, A, and B rounds of financing and gone public.
The Snake People are very powerful, but in the eyes of today's Truth Church, they are not necessary. The later a decision is made, the lower the Snake People's right to speak in the Truth Church.
It is the behavior of a fool to cherish the broom. Babas, who has read several books, will not make this mistake. After Saka set off, he immediately walked towards the direction of St. Basil's Cathedral together with Yaga, the leader of the Chimora tribe. .
