Soul Echo

The blockade and screening of Tübingen by the Medical Church caused discomfort to many people, including but not limited to nobles and adventurers.

But the ensuing several mutations and bloody battles also made them dissuade them from resisting, which in turn created fear and anxiety.

If it wasn't for the fear of being recognized as an 'enemy' by the clergy, many nobles would want to rush into the church and let those clergy with fierce battle strength protect their physical and mental safety.

——In front of the abyss, there is no honorable or inferior.

The mutation not only happened to commoners and adventurers, but there was also a mutation that happened to a nobleman, which caused the tragic death of more than a dozen members of his family.

Death is terrifying, especially for nobles, who have nothing to lose compared to the commoners who have nothing to lose. They have quite superior material conditions, so they are more afraid of death.

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

As long as it is not known that this is the 'Abyss', the impact will not spread further.

And even if they want to hide it, they probably won't be able to hide it.

Two of these mutations took place directly on the street. At least 50 people witnessed or heard their battles with the mutants. Deliberately suppressing them would make the public suspicious.

Therefore, the Medical Church explained to the outside world that this was an evil experiment by a certain mage, and that it was just a potion that caused the physical changes of those people.

Even so, everyone in Tübingen was in danger for a while, until the clergy of the Medical Church screened the entire city three times and confirmed that there were no remaining infected people. Those who had been affected by the abyss gathered and dealt with them together.

Tubingen was blocked for five days before the city gate opened again.

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

Death is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is that after you die, your family is also extinct, and all the property goes into the hands of outsiders - your title, your wealth, your territory, everything you have will no longer have anything to do with you and your family.

Fortunately, although the priests of the medical church were oversighted, their battle strength and action were quite strong, and they solved all the problems within five days.

even more how, it's not a matter of a day or two for the brothel controlled by the Yodel gang to have problems. Many adventurers have come and gone, and the influence of the abyss has long been taken away from Tübingen. , Keeping the blockade, they have no way to completely remove the remaining problems. Only by opening the city gates and letting people in and out can they find those adventurers with hidden dangers.

The people of Tübingen have been worried for five days. After the city gate opened, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And Zhong Ye and the others also left Tübingen on this day.

The car mechanic that the adventurer's house hired for them was a bit more expensive, but dutiful enough to put new axles and wheels on their carriage while everyone else was still on their toes .

The incident in Tübingen is still within the processing capacity of the Medical Church, and the previous mutations have not caused any casualties to their personnel.

This also allows Zhong Ye to leave with confidence, go upstream, and drive the carriage toward Southwest of the Rhine Kingdom.

The Neckar River, which is used as a canal by Tübingen and Stuttgart, originates from the southwestern border of the Rhine Kingdom. If the group of traffickers really transported people through the river, then they must have boarded somewhere.

It's not difficult to find this place just by looking along the river.

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

From Montreux all the way to Tübingen, with plenty of places to resupply along the way, this is a 'perfect' route.

After discovering this route, the Merchant Church in Montreux is already discussing with the merchants in Montreux how to try to run it.

—Until now, they had no idea that such a huge change had taken place in these places they couldn't see.

After the two houses are spliced ​​together, the house where Lillian lives has more than doubled in size, which can now be called 'father' by her The house where the men used to live became the 'living room' of their new home, which also made their parties more jubilant.

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

Father and mother's friends gather, most of whom Lillian doesn't know, but that doesn't stop her from smiling at them.

Anyway, they are here to celebrate their own birthdays, so they can't have a bad face, right?

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

Lilian's current father grabbed her mother and faced Others winked, gasped for a moment, enjoyed those expectant glances, and grinned: "That's right, it's just what you think, it's exactly - the 20th anniversary of the official launch of "Happy Family", let's hold a show Let's watch the movie!"

"Oh..."

The people who were about to cheer and applaud were blocked back with tangled faces.

What exactly is this "Happy Family", has anyone heard of it?

Seeing their reaction, the man laughed, and Lillian and her mother laughed too.

"Okay, okay! Actually, that sentence was just a joke. Caitlin and I decided to become a family. From now on, we will be husband and wife." After the joke, the man made a formal statement. , and then added, "But today is really the 20th anniversary of the official launch of "Happy Family". I originally wanted to hold a viewing party, but Caitlin rejected it..."

The words behind him were overshadowed by thunderous applause and cheers, and no one heard what he said afterward.

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

People looked in the direction of the man's hands and saw Lillian in a wheelchair.

Some of them looked at Lilian's face, and the more they looked, the more familiar they became. After a while, they suddenly responded, "You are Lilian?!"

Hearing his shout, the man He was also stunned, and looked at Lillian and his friend suspiciously, "You know each other?"

"She, she is Lillian!" The man's friend danced and shouted with excitement, " Lillian's live broadcast is very popular. She is one of the most important anchors in "Soul Echo". If it wasn't because she didn't receive commercials or appear on the show, she might be more influential than everyone else. Big!"

Looking at Lilian who was sitting in a wheelchair and didn't even move her hand, he seemed to understand why Lilian didn't answer commercials and didn't appear on the show.

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

"And No." Lilian shook her head blankly, "What I want to say is that I passed the preliminary round of the "Soul Echo" professional competition, with forty-nine wins and one loss, ranking tenth in points, if there is no accident, I should be able to advance to the semi-finals. And the popularity of my live broadcast is all from the teacher, most of the viewers watch my live broadcast because they want to watch my teacher, I don't really have many fans."

"Who is your teacher?" The man is curious ask.

"Zhong Ye." Lilian answered truthfully.

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

"That's it, that Zhong Ye?" He waved a few fists and punched a few jabs, "That Zhong Ye who defeated the world champion?"

"teacher Beat the world champion?" Lilian startled.

Their father and daughter, staring at small eyes, fell into deep silence and doubt.
