Chapter 24 Druid
Across the screen, Li Chengqi looked at a group of tree elves and a pigeon with big eyes and small eyes in confusion.
Then a dialog box appeared on the head of one of the tree elves in wolf skin, 'This is a holy symbol I have never seen before! ’
Generally, the dialog box will appear only when you click on the NPC to participate in the conversation. If it pops up automatically without any operation, this is usually when the sound is too loud.
This made Li Chengqi a little unhappy.
What happened to my holy symbol? You've never seen anything so ugly, right?
Right-click on the shouting tree elf, click on the ability column, and the name of this tree elf in wolf skin is written as "Spring Woodland Druid".
Druids are also a common type in fantasy themes. In Li Chengqi's impression, they are a group of people who can transform into bears or wolves, talk about protecting nature and act like pacifists, and get into fights and get slapped in the face.
In the skill bar below, Li Chengqi also found skills that looked like a druid at first glance, such as wild transformation, animal conversation, and entanglement.
Seeing that his presence enhanced the magical feeling, Li Chengqi didn't care.
After all, he also felt that the Holy Emblem of the Demon King was a bit ugly...
He clicked on a tree elf present. This operation was equivalent to joining the conversation. Li Chengqi could see everything they said.
"We must contact the princess."
"Perhaps it can break the power of the Plague Goddess."
"But we don't know whether he is an evil god or not. There will be a heavy price to pay for dealing with beings we don't understand."
Li Chengqi was confused by conversations like this.
What do you want to do by contacting Viola?
Who is the Plague Goddess?
What does it mean to break the divine power?
With no idea of the cause and effect, Li Chengqi watched their conversation as if his hands were shaking and he skipped key cutscenes, unable to understand what was being said.
But having said that, is the Plague Goddess an NPC or a player?
Is this still an online game?
Cut out the game and click on network usage monitoring. You will find that the AAI game is not connected to the Internet at all.
It is said that in this game, people can reach in and directly affect NPCs. It doesn't seem to matter whether they need to connect to the Internet via a network cable or not.
As for whether the Plague Goddess was a player or an NPC, Li Chengqi decided to give up in less than three seconds. This kind of thing with no clues was a waste of time. He would wait until he actually encountered it.
The first question now is to figure out why these tree elves want to contact Viola.
Li Chengqi could only talk to believers. NPCs with a piety level of 0 could not hear his voice, so he could not talk directly to the tree elves present.
Zooming out on the map, you can see that Viola, who is going down the mountain, is not too far away from the Far Forest. It is okay to ask her to send a few people over to ask about the situation on behalf of Li Chengqi.
But doing this is a bit too rash, after all, it is not clear whether the tree elves are enemies or friends.
After much thought, the only way...
Li Chengqi clicked on the pigeon that was staring at the tree elf, and then picked up the headset.

"This is the 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 symbol itself represents God's eyes and ears in the mortal world, and is also proof of God's presence in the mortal world.
So theoretically, every god's holy symbol will be recorded in religious books, which is common sense that all clergy must memorize.
Druids are clergy who serve nature gods, so this common sense certainly applies.
What surprised him was that this holy emblem had never appeared before, but it actually had the ability of a holy emblem. It was connected to a true god, not a false god selling sheep's head as dog's meat. The tree elf next to him saw this and quickly asked:
"Can you get the name of this god? It would be nice to have more information."
You cannot worship gods indiscriminately, because there are many evil gods in this world, and there are also some types who are not considered evil gods, but asking for his help randomly will make things more troublesome.
The tribe of tree elves stores many classics that have been handed down from long ago. 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 spell-casting gestures to activate the magical art of animal conversation.
It allows the user to communicate with animals without any barriers. It is a magical technique exclusively used by druids and rangers.
So a large group of people just watched the druid and the pigeons cooing there.
"Xiao Bai said that this is the holy symbol of the Demon King whom Princess Viola worships."
"Demon King God?"
Everyone looked at each other, many of them had never heard of this name.
Only some older tree elves thought for a while and said:
"That should just be a legend from the mythical age."
"It is said that He created all the demons on this continent."
“But before this there was never a temple or a church for him, and he never performed miracles.”
"Wait a minute, since there are rumors that the Demon King God personally defeated thousands of bandits, does it mean that He once fell into a deep sleep and is now awake?"
Seeing that there was a lot of discussion in the room, the tree elf who seemed to have the highest status and was leaning on a cane knocked on the table hard.
"Quiet! Now is not the time to discuss legends."
Seeing that everyone was quiet, he continued: "If this is the age of mythology, I have no doubt that the Demon King God has the ability to defeat the power of the Plague Goddess, but now, how much power does he still have?"
This is not a baseless conjecture. The source of God's power is priesthood, faith and believers. However, no one has worshiped the Demon King God for a long time, which means there is no source of power.
It might have been a powerful divine power in the past, but now it might not even be enough to have a weak divine power. At best, he is just a demigod of the lowest level.
It is crushing for mortals, but not for gods.
"And we know so little about Him. Do we really want to place all our hopes on this god?"
These words made the newly excited tree elves feel a sinking feeling.
After a few seconds, the druid raised his hand:
"Let me use Vision to take a look, so that all the consequences will be borne by me alone. If anything happens to me, Spring Grove will be left to you."
Vision, a natural special ability. The source of power can be observed through subtle clues.
Putting it into the current scene, you can see the god using the holy symbol to observe the mortal world through the holy symbol, so that you can clearly and intuitively observe the power attributes of this god.
This is of course not without risks. Staring directly at the gods in this way will bring great pressure to the mortal spirit. If the gods are dissatisfied with this, then the best outcome would be for the person using Vision to go crazy. It is possible that his brain exploded and he died on the spot.
The druid had already made up his mind to die when he made this decision. This is all for the woodland, for their home for life after life.
Every tree elf has the consciousness to dedicate everything to the tribe, just like Zoya is willing to take great risks to find Viola in a completely unfamiliar city.
The druid looked at everyone and nodded, as if saying goodbye, then reached out and gently picked up the holy symbol wrapped around the pigeon's leg.
His eyes immediately lit up with a layer of golden aura, his pupils expanded without focus, and his vision had followed the Holy Emblem to the realm of the True God...
