Soul echo

Chapter 401 Druid
"Your companion should still be on the way, we still have time now." Zhong Ye stared at the humanoid druid, "Tell me, what's going on!"

The humanoid druid looked at Zhong Ye in surprise, he could guess that he had other companions on the way.

The surprise didn't last long. After a moment of silence, the humanoid druid said, "This plague...is probably caused by us."

Hearing these words, Lily clenched her fists, and her eyes became sharp in an instant——she had heard a lot about 'druids hurting people' when she was in the court, which also made her feel bad about druids. The impression has been bad.

Many of the people who come and go to the court are nobles, and many of them have their own territories.

And among these powerful nobles who own territories, if there happens to be a forest or mine in the territory, it is not uncommon to encounter druids.

In the process of developing forests or mine veins, druids often came to stop them, and some hoped that they would not over-exploit, but most druids did not intend to communicate with them at all, and directly attacked the workers, resulting in many casualties.

Although in legends, Druids are often friendly characters who help the protagonist get out of the lost forest or defeat scary monsters, but in fact, these guys are not kind at all. Perhaps in their eyes, they are living in the wilderness. The monsters in the game are not the same species as humans at all.

"In that lake, there is a powerful animal. Because of its great power, it is called the 'King of the Lake' by mortals. For your understanding, I will also call her the King of the Lake."

Lilian, who was glaring at the Druid, was taken aback for a moment. Isn't this the story she and Lily Lieber had inquired about in that unknown town before?
"It is a rare water monster, and it is extremely difficult to reproduce, but fortunately, seven years ago, we successfully guided another water monster to that lake, and completed the breeding task with it."

The sight drifted to the distance, to Lake Constance, and the humanoid druid recounted quietly while recalling: "Because of their racial characteristics, they cherish their offspring very much, and that kind of water monster is usually raised by females, so, in our introduction After the male that came left, the king of the lake lived in that lake with his offspring.

"However, just four years later, her offspring fell ill and died."

"Is it because of the plague believers?" Zhong Ye asked abruptly with his arms around him.

"...Yes, it's because of the plague believers." The humanoid druid sighed, "They dumped a kind of germ into the lake, trying to use it to infect fish, so that people who ate fish infected with the virus Human death... This is the conclusion we came to after studying that bacteria."

Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "Let me guess, your companions should have discovered this a long time ago, otherwise you wouldn't have investigated this matter, let alone researched this kind of germ—but the opportunity is the king of lakes. the death of future generations."

"Yes..." The humanoid druid sighed wearily, "Kadiana treats humans more...radically, after confirming that this germ is harmless to fish, she doesn't bother, it's just..."

Lily smiled sarcastically: "It's just that I didn't expect that what she did would kill the offspring of the King of the Lake?"

The humanoid druid was silent for a moment, avoiding the topic.

"...Kadiana is the guardian of the King of the Lake, and she has a very good relationship with the King of the Lake, and she also watched the offspring of the King of the Lake grow up. The death of that little guy made her feel extremely painful and embarrassing. Guilty.

"She told the Lake King and us the truth, and then left. We all know that she was going to find the plague believers and prepare for revenge.

"And just a year ago, she suddenly appeared again and took the king of the lake away. They overturned a boat by the lake, and the king of the lake used his own power to drown everyone on the boat. This is their revenge."

Lily and Lilian couldn't help but widen their eyes as if a thunderbolt passed through their minds.

——It turns out that this is the truth behind the story they inquired about before!
Zhong Ye fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "After completing his revenge, that druid didn't give up on tracking the plague believers, but chose to continue chasing and killing them, and then chased them to Constantia?"

The humanoid druid sighed: "It should be like this... In fact, we only speculate that Kadiana has chased here. As for whether she is inside, we are not sure."

A druid who followed the plague believers to Constantia was infected by the zombie plague and became the ruler of the group of animal corpses, which is quite normal...

"Have you never contacted the church?" Zhong Ye looked up at the two druids, his eyes filled with anger, "That druid hates humans more, so it's understandable that she doesn't contact the church, but what about you? ?”

As long as this group of druids and the church say 'there are activities of plague believers here', it is impossible for such a thing to happen in Constantia!

As long as they know that there are plague believers here, many churches will definitely send people to investigate and sweep them up. As long as all the plague believers are wiped out at that time, the current disaster will not happen!

"So, we have come to redeem..."

"Is it useful?" Zhong Ye forcefully interrupted the druids, looking straight into their eyes, "The people of Constantia, there are nearly ten thousand people living there, and those living in the area around Constantia, People who are still suffering from the plague, how can you make up for this disaster that should not have happened? !

"What's more, there must be many of you who came here not because of guilt? It's just because you caused this mess, and letting the plague spread will also affect the natural environment, so you have to come here !"

The two druids were silent and did not answer.

Zhong Ye frowned and snapped, "It's really hard for me to imagine how you can leisurely hate human beings in the face of a disaster that can lead to the destruction of the world? You keep talking about protecting the natural environment, but in the end, even The world is going to be destroyed, but you don't respond—what are you protecting?"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Ye was still angry, but he didn't intend to say anything more.

It is obviously impossible for this group of sick druids to change just because of his few words. Those who should hate humans will still hate humans, and will still go their own way. Disasters such as the plague of living corpses will continue to happen .

With a cold snort, Zhong Ye turned to look at Constantia, instead of looking at the two druids.

A few players nearby have already recorded the passage just now and posted it on the game forum.

They had little access to druids before, and they couldn't imagine that the druids in "Echo of Soul" were like this.

Is it possible that if you want to unlock this profession, you still need to show an attitude of hating humans?

The players chattered and discussed, Lily and Lilian gave the two druids a hard look, followed by Zhong Ye and turned their heads to look into the city.

The situation in the city is not optimistic. Looking around at this time, it is difficult to find the living human corpses at a glance. The whole city is occupied by more and more living animal corpses.

It was also at this time that other druids rushed to Constantia one after another.

Men and women dressed in animal skins, or wrapped in green leaves, or even naked, gathered from all directions. They first communicated with the two druids on the city wall about the situation in the city, and then opened the city gate of Constantia , swaggering into the city.

Zhong Ye watched their actions with cold eyes, but Lily couldn't contain her anger, and stared back at the two druids behind her: "What are you doing? Why did you open the city gate?"

"We... will deal with it." The giant eagle druid said bluntly.

Thus, they could see that two druids had planted a seed in front of Constantia's gate. They chanted spells and guided natural energy, allowing the seed to break out of the ground in just half a minute.

Afterwards, the sprouts grew rapidly and continued to grow upwards, turning into a towering giant tree.

The giant tree merged its trunk into the city gate, blocked the entrance and exit of Constantia, and once again sealed the living corpse in the city.

And the druids who entered the city also started to act.
