Chapter 24 Druid

Through the screen, Li Chengxi looked at a group of tree elves and a pigeon staring at each other in confusion.

Then a dialog box popped up on the head of one of the tree elves wearing wolf skins: "This is a holy emblem I have never seen before!"

Generally, a dialog box will only appear when you click on the NPC participating in the conversation. If it pops up automatically without any operation, it is when the sound is too loud.

This made Li Chengxi a little unhappy.

What happened to my holy emblem? It's the ugliest thing you've ever seen, right?
Right-click the shouting tree elf and click on the ability column. The title column of this wolf-skinned tree elf says "Spring Forest Druid".

Druids are also a common type in fantasy themes. In Li Chengxi's impression, they are a group of people who can transform into bears or wolves. They say they want to protect nature like pacifists, but they just hit people in the face when they fight.

In the skill column below, Li Chengxi also found skills such as Wild Transformation, Speak with Animals, and Entanglement, which were obviously very druidic in nature.

Considering that his presence enhanced the magical feeling, Li Chengxi didn't care.

After all, he also thought the Demon King's holy emblem was a bit ugly...

He casually clicked on a tree elf present, which was equivalent to joining the conversation, and Li Chengxi could hear everything they said.

"We must contact that princess."

"Perhaps it can break the power of the Plague Goddess."

"But we don't know whether he is an evil god or not. Dealing with an unknown existence will cost us a heavy price."

Conversations like these left Li Chengxi confused.

What do you want to do by contacting Viola?

Who is the Plague Goddess?
What does it mean to break the divine power?
Since he had no idea of ​​the cause and effect, Li Chengxi watched their conversation as if his hands were shaking and he skipped over the key cutscenes. He couldn't understand what they were talking about.

But then again, is the Plague Goddess an NPC or a player?

Is this still an online game?

Exit the game and click on the network usage monitoring, you will find that the AAI game is not connected to the Internet at all.

Speaking of which, this game allows people to reach in and directly affect NPCs, so it doesn’t seem to matter whether or not an internet cable is used.

As for whether the Plague Goddess was a player or an NPC, Li Chengxi gave up after less than three seconds of pondering. It was useless to think about something with no clues at all. He would wait until he really met her.

The first priority now is to figure out why these tree elves want to contact Viola.

Li Chengxi can only talk to believers. NPCs with a piety of 0 cannot hear his voice, so he cannot talk directly to the tree elves present.

Zooming out the map, we can see that Viola, who is going down the mountain, is not too far from the Farthest Forest. We can ask her to send a few people over to inquire about the situation on Li Chengxi's behalf.

But doing so is a bit too rash, after all, it is not clear whether the tree elf is an enemy or a friend.

After much thought, the only way...

Li Chengxi pointed at the pigeon that was staring at the tree elf, then picked up the headset.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"This is a holy emblem! It's a holy emblem I've never seen before!"

The druid's voice sounded shocked, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Because the holy emblem itself represents God's eyes and ears in the mortal world, and is also the proof of God's presence in the mortal world.

So in theory, the holy emblem of each god is recorded in religious texts, which is common sense that all clergy must memorize.

Druids are clergy who serve natural gods, so this common sense certainly applies to them.

What surprised him was that this holy emblem had never appeared before, but it actually had the power of a holy emblem. It was connected to a true god, not a false god. The tree elf next to him saw this and quickly asked:

"Can you get the name of this deity? More information would be great."

God cannot be worshipped randomly, because there are many evil gods in this world, and there are also some that are not evil gods, but the type that will make things more troublesome if you ask for their help randomly.

The tribe of tree elves stores many ancient books passed down from the distant past. As long as you know the name or title, you can roughly find out the information about this god.

The druid also quickly made a few spellcasting gestures to activate the magic of communicating with animals.

It allows the user to communicate with animals without obstacles, and is a divine spell exclusively for druids and rangers.

So a large group of people just watched the druid and the pigeon cooing there.

"Xiao Bai said that this is the holy emblem of the Demon God that Princess Viola worships."

"Demon God?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, many of them had never heard of this name.

Only some of the older tree elves thought for a moment and said:

"That should just be a legend from the mythical era."

"It is said that He created all the demons on this continent."

“But before this there had never been His temple or His church, and He never performed miracles.”

"Wait a minute, since there are rumors that the Demon King God personally defeated thousands of bandits, does that mean that He was once asleep and has awakened now?"

Seeing a buzz of discussion in the room, the tree elf who seemed to have the highest status and was leaning on a cane knocked hard on the table.

"Silence! Now is not the time to discuss legends."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, he continued:
"If this were the mythological era, I would have no doubt that the Demon King would be able to defeat the Plague Goddess's power, but now, how much power does He have left?"

This is not an unfounded conjecture. The source of God's power is priesthood, faith and believers. For a long time, no one has ever worshipped the Devil God, which means there is no source of power.

He may have been a powerful god originally, but now he may not even have weak divine power. At best, he is just a demigod of the lowest level.

It is a crushing defeat for mortals, but not for gods.

"And we know too little about Him. Should we really place all our hopes on this god?"

These words made the tree elves, who had just been excited, feel depressed.

After a few seconds, the druid raised his hand:

"Let me use Vision to check it out. This way, I will bear all the consequences alone. If anything happens to me, Spring Glade will be in your hands."

Vision, a special ability born from nature. The source of power can be observed through subtle clues.

To put it in the current scenario, one can use the holy emblem to see the god who is using the holy emblem to observe the mortal world, so that one can clearly and intuitively observe the power attributes of this god.

This is certainly not without risks. Looking directly at the gods in this way would put great pressure on the mortal's mind. If the gods were displeased by this, then the best outcome would be for the person using the vision to go crazy, and he would most likely die on the spot with his brain exploding.

When the druids made this decision, they had already made up their minds to die, all for the sake of the forest, for the home where they had lived for generations.

Every tree elf is willing to sacrifice everything for the tribe, just like Zhuoya was willing to take great risks to go to a completely unfamiliar city to find Viola.

The druid looked at everyone and nodded, as if saying goodbye, then reached out and gently pulled up the holy emblem wrapped around the pigeon's leg.

His eyes immediately lit up with a layer of golden light, and his pupils were dilated and out of focus. His vision had already followed the holy emblem to the realm of the true God...
