Soul echo

Chapter 370 Lilian's Birthday Party
The medical church's blockade and screening of Tubingen caused discomfort to many people, including but not limited to nobles and adventurers.

But the ensuing mutations and extremely bloody battles also made them lose their will to resist, which in turn created fear and uneasiness.

If it weren't for the fear of being considered an 'enemy' by the clergy, many nobles wanted to rush into the church and let the valiant clergy protect their physical and mental safety.

——In front of the abyss, there is no distinction.

Mutations did not only happen to commoners and adventurers, but there was another mutation that happened to a nobleman, which caused the tragedy of the death of a dozen members of his family.

Death is terrible, especially for the nobles. Compared with the civilians who have nothing and have nothing to lose, they have quite superior material conditions, so they are more afraid of death.

The Medical Church did not deliberately block the news, because ordinary people do not know what is the root cause of this mutation, and do not understand the concept of 'Abyss'.

As long as you don't know that this is the 'Abyss', the influence will not spread further.

And even if they want to hide it, there is a high probability that they can't hide it.

Two of the mutations happened directly on the street. At least fifty people witnessed or heard the news of them fighting the mutants. Deliberate suppression would make the public suspicious.

Therefore, the Medical Church explained to the outside world that this was an evil experiment by a mage, and that what caused those people to mutate was just a kind of potion.

Even so, everyone in Tubingen was in danger for a while, until the priests of the Medical Church screened the entire city three times to confirm that there were no remaining infected people, and then they gathered those who had been affected by the abyss Get up and focus.

Tubingen was blocked for five full days before the gates were opened again.

During this period, even the lord of Tubingen did not dare to complain, because what happened to the nobleman really frightened him.

Death is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that after you die, your family is also extinct, and all property will flow into the hands of outsiders——your title, your wealth, your territory, everything you have It will no longer have anything to do with you or your family.

Fortunately, although the clergymen of the Medical Church were negligent, their fighting and action capabilities were quite strong, and they solved all the problems within five days.

What's more, it is not a matter of a day or two that there is a problem with the brothel controlled by the Yodel Gang. Many adventurers come and go, and they have already taken the influence of the abyss away from Tubingen and kept it blocked. There is no way to completely eliminate the remaining problems. Only by opening the city gates and letting people in and out can we find those adventurers with hidden dangers.

The people of Tubingen had been in fear for five days, and after the city gate was opened, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhong Ye and the others also left Tubingen on this day.

The wheelwright that the Adventurer's House found for them was more expensive, but he was conscientious enough. When the others were still in fear, he replaced their carriage with new axles and wheels.

The incident in Tubingen is still within the scope of the medical church's ability to handle it. The previous mutations did not cause casualties to their personnel.

This also allowed Zhong Ye to leave with peace of mind, go upstream, and drive the carriage towards the southwest of the Rhine Kingdom.

The Neckar River, used as a canal by Tubingen and Stuttgart, originated in the southwestern border of the Rhine Kingdom. If the group of human traffickers really transported people by river, then they must have boarded somewhere.

As long as you look along the river, it is not difficult to find this place.

The southwestern border of the Rhine Kingdom is not only close to the Kingdom of Gaul, but also close to the Hallstatt City-State Alliance. The transportation route envisaged by the Montreux Commercial Church can be established.

From Montreux all the way to Tübingen, there are many places where they can resupply along the way. This route can be called 'perfect'.

After discovering this route, the Montreux business church is already discussing with Montreux businessmen how to try to operate it.

——Before that, they didn't know that such great changes had taken place in these places they couldn't see.

…………

After the two houses were spliced ​​together, Lilian's house more than doubled in size, and the house where the man who could be called "father" by her now lived became the "living room" of their new home, which also made them party can be more joyful.

The living room was decorated with quite a 'birthday party' vibe, with bunting, streamers and even a Christmas tree - don't know whose idea it was, Christmas was long gone.

There was a gathering of father and mother's friends, most of whom Lilian didn't know, but that didn't stop her from smiling at them.

Anyway, they are also here to celebrate their birthday, so they can't have a bad face, can they?

"Before cutting the cake, we have one more thing to announce, and you must have guessed it."

Lilian's current father embraced her mother, winked at the others, gasped, enjoyed those expectant eyes, and grinned: "That's right, it's exactly what you think, it's exactly—"Happy Family" The [-]th anniversary of the official broadcast of "People", let's hold a movie viewing party!"

"Oh……"

The people who were about to cheer and applaud were blocked back, their faces full of confusion.

What is this "Happy Family"? Has anyone heard of it?
Seeing their reaction, the man laughed heartily, as did Lilian and her mother.

"Okay, okay! Actually, what I just said was a joke. Caitlin and I have decided to become a family. From now on, we will be husband and wife." After the joke, the man made a formal announcement, and added, "However, today is really the [-]th anniversary of the official launch of "Happy Family". Originally, I wanted to hold a movie viewing party, but Kaitlyn rejected it..."

What he said behind was covered by thunderous applause and cheers, and no one heard what he said behind.

The man raised his hand and said loudly, "However, we are not the real protagonists today. The reason why we want to hold this party is because today is our daughter's birthday."

People looked in the direction guided by the man's hands, and saw Lilian sitting in a wheelchair.

One of them looked at Lilian's face and became more and more familiar with it. After a while, he suddenly realized, "Are you Lilian?!"

Hearing his yelling, the man was also dumbfounded. He looked at Lilian and his friend suspiciously, "Do you know each other?"

"She, she is Lilian!" The man's friend danced and shouted excitedly, "Lilian's live broadcast is very popular, and she is one of the most important anchors of "Echo of Soul". Because she doesn't take commercials and doesn't appear on shows, she may have more influence than everyone else now!"

Looking at Lilian who was sitting in a wheelchair without even moving her hands, he seemed to understand why Lilian didn't accept commercials or appear on shows.

The man blinked, turned to look at his stepdaughter, and asked, "Lilian, is this the surprise you want to give us?"

"No." Lilian shook her head blankly, "What I want to say is that I have passed the "Soul Echo" professional competition preliminaries, with 49 wins and one loss, ranking tenth in points, and if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to the semi-finals. And the popularity of my live broadcast comes from teachers, most of the viewers who watch my live broadcast want to watch my teachers, my real fans are actually not many."

"Who is your teacher?" the man asked curiously.

"Zhong Ye." Lilian answered truthfully.

This time, it was the man's turn to be shocked.

"That's right, that Zhong Ye?" He swung his fist a few times and punched a few jabs, "The Zhong Ye who defeated the world boxing champion?"

"Teacher beat the world boxing champion?" Lilian was taken aback.

Their father and daughter stared wide-eyed and fell into deep silence and doubts.
