Chapter 23 Gu Gu Gu Gu
It attracted Li Chengqi's attention mainly because the elf child seemed to be crying. In the game, two pools of water are used to indicate the level of crying. He must have been crying for a while.
Naturally, Li Chengqi noticed the pigeon standing above the elf child.
Zooming in further, Li Chengqi could vaguely see something tied to one of the pigeon's feet, but the pixelated image made it difficult to see clearly.
However, the feather pattern of this Q-print style pigeon looks familiar no matter how you look at it.
Then he remembered:
“This seems to be the pigeon that often appears on the eaves of the chapel.”
Every day Li Chengqi would watch Viola and the knights praying in the chapel. It was no wonder that the pigeons that often appeared on the eaves of the chapel looked familiar to him.
I clicked the pigeon with the right mouse button. Unexpectedly, there was even a vertical painting of the pigeon. Now I can clearly see that the pigeon is holding a necklace on its leg, and the necklace seems to be the holy symbol of the Demon King.
At the same time, I clicked on the pigeon's ability option and opened the attribute panel. The piety on one side said 10.
"No, pigeons can also become believers?"
It is said that a parrot raised by an eminent monk died and the relics were found from the cremated ashes.
This is probably animism.
This dove landed on the eaves of the chapel every day. Watching Viola and the others pray inside, they became believers over time?
As mentioned before, if you want to eliminate the large fog of war on the map, only the believers of the Demon King can go there in person. If the pigeon is a believer, it explains why there is an extra gathering place icon in the Far Forest. It was discovered by pigeons.
Although it still sounds a bit ridiculous, it is the only reasonable explanation at present.
So Li Chengqi clicked the mouse to select the pigeon, then picked up the headset and said into the microphone:
"Can you hear me?"
A dialog box pops up above the vertical painting of the pigeon, which says ‘Cuckoo….Cuckoo…’
"......."
It's just a pigeon after all.

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.
April 6, morning.
Located in the spring woodland of the Far Forest, the largest tree house was already filled with tree elves.
Among them was Leah's sister Zoya, who could clearly hear her sister crying under the tree, and had a strong urge to rush down to comfort her.
But she couldn't do that because there was a meeting going on that related to the life and death of the entire Spring Glade tree elves.
"We must move. People from our tribe die every day. We can't stay here any longer!"
"But our supplies are completely inadequate."
"Yes, we have just survived the winter, and the fruits and roots we depend on are not yet ripe."
"And once we move, where can we go? Over the Spine of the World to the other side?"
"That's suicide! We'll all die in a blizzard on the mountain!"
The tree elves present were discussing countermeasures, but the progress could be said to be standing still.
"Zoya, what do you think?"
The elder's words made Zoya turn her attention from the crying outside the window to the meeting.
She hesitated for a moment and said:
"Is there really no other way? I think we should not abandon the forest land, but should find ways to purify the polluted water sources."
The tree elves present looked at each other, but shook their heads.
"The Plague Goddess's virus is too powerful, and there is nothing we can do against it."
A tree elf in wolf skin lowered his head and said: "Since the spring water was polluted, I can no longer hear the voice of the spring goddess."
"Even if we can get help from the spring goddess, it won't help."
The elder said: "The goddess of spring water cannot defeat the claw marks left by the goddess of plague. If we can get a response from the father of nature, there may be a way, but..."
The Spring Grove is a paradise. It is protected by the magic of the Druid and feels like spring all year round. Clear spring water and abundant fruits are available everywhere. The blessings of nature have never been so abundant.
But this has also become a thorn in the side of some evil gods.
About a month ago, a group of followers of the Plague Goddess found this place and launched an attack on the forest. The tree elves and local goblins resisted desperately, and finally completely defeated the followers of the Plague Goddess.
But the spring water they relied on for a living was polluted by the power of the Plague Goddess. The originally clear sweet spring contained strong toxins. Whether it was plants, animals, or even the land, they would slowly die after being exposed to the toxins.
The druid's spells and herbs can only delay the situation, and the tree elves and local goblins are slowly and surely dying.
They thought of many ways and held rituals one after another in an attempt to get in touch with the gods of nature, but they all failed.
The power of the Plague Goddess has obscured everything, and the tree elves and goblins are now helpless.
As one of the few tree elves who often patrol near the outskirts of the forest, Zoya suddenly remembered something.
"Recently, a princess came to Leon Fortress. She seems to have the blessing of the true god. Can we think that the attention of a true god has come to this remote place?"
"I have also heard this rumor, but ordinary gods are useless and cannot defeat the power of the Plague Goddess."
"I heard that when the princess came to Leon Fortress, she was attacked by bandits. The god personally took action and defeated thousands of bandits with one blow."
Hearing Zhuo Ya's words, the tree elves present raised their heads in shock.
"If it is true, it is definitely a god with powerful divine power. No, even a powerful god would not interfere with the mortal world so roughly. Who is it?"
Zoya shook her head. She didn't know more specifically. She got this information by listening to the whispers of trees and vegetation.
Tree elves have an innate ability to communicate with plants. In a sense, this is why they are called tree elves.
With such a powerful god paying attention nearby, you can definitely defeat the power of the Plague Goddess, but the question is, why should they help you?
I am neither a believer nor have any connection with the believers. I will only waste my divine power to help the elves when I am full.
"We can only send someone to contact Leon Fortress."
Having said that, the tree elves at the meeting fell silent again.
The tree elves are a very exclusive race. They do not trust other races, and only a few creatures will mix with the tree elves.
They have always lived a closed life, and suddenly they have to contact the outside world, and they are all very hesitant.
This is tantamount to violating their living habits, and is as uncomfortable as asking a tiger to suddenly switch to a vegetarian diet.
"I'd like to go."
Zhuo Ya said:
"I am willing to go to Leon Fortress to pray for the help of that powerful god. As long as the forest can be saved, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself."
"Sister, where are you going? I want to go too!"
Lia, with red and swollen eyes, opened the door and came in. She happened to hear Zoya's words and hurriedly rushed to Zoya and hugged her tightly.
Leah lost her best friend forever, and she didn't want to lose her sister again.
"Sister, I'm going to the city. I'll be back soon."
"No! I want to be with my sister!"
Leah refused to let go.
At this time, the tree elves in the meeting noticed the dove standing above Leah.
"That pigeon, what's on its feet?"
The druid reached out his hand to the pigeon, and the pigeon jumped up obediently.
After carefully looking at the pendant on the necklace, the druid exclaimed:
"This is the Holy Emblem! It's a Holy Emblem I've never seen before!"
