Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 94 A Zoo Full of Talent
"If you're from Twilight City, why are you here at the Emerald Leaf Zoo as a druid?"

Based on the other party's previous statements, Loren felt that he had figured out some of the reasons for the viscount's appearance.

"As you might expect, I came here following Mr. Aaron's story, hoping to create a true miracle of hope for Twilight City."

“For Twilight City, a story of a miracle might be more useful than actual aid.”

Evans spoke calmly,
“In Twilight City, survival is easy because half the population receives disability benefits, but development is difficult.”

"This is not only because of the abnormal environment in our area and the distorted appearance of the mutants, but also because everyone has no hope and no light in their eyes."

"I am an insignificant person, and I only ask that in my life I can bring a sliver of hope to Twilight City."

"I want to create a possibility for the birth of a miracle, even if that possibility is not mine."

"As you can see, I am not a deformed person."

"But if someone with a slight aberration can still work as a druid, a profession closely connected to nature, in the harsh environment of Twilight City, then it proves that the world and nature have not abandoned us."

Loren sighed softly upon hearing this.

"So you came to Greenleaf City to find old Aaron, because he was not only a third-tier druid, but also born and raised in the Lower City, a place that was originally causing environmental pollution?"

"You want the newcomer to replicate his success, but the two are not even in the same league, are they?"

"Loren said."

It's like someone worked hard to defeat Tyson, and you're ready to learn from his experience and then go and defeat a guy named Taro.

Although both were victories by the weak, and both opponents shared the surname Tai, wasn't your "strong" a bit too strong?
"Yes, as you said, it's a difficult thing, so I'm just a beginner."

Evans remained calm. He could anticipate what the red dragon was thinking, because everyone who heard about his plans for the first time would think the same way.

A person who keeps punching a solid wall in the dark is either an incredibly stupid fool or a determined madman.

The success rate of this matter was negligible, and the effects after success were hard to predict. It would bring him almost no personal benefit, but he still did it anyway.

A normal and natural druid is born in a distorted environment caused by a divine curse?

If it were truly possible, someone would have been born in Twilight City long ago!

“I myself cannot become that miracle, because I do not have the mutation, but I still hope that one day Twilight City can, like Greenleaf City, cultivate potential seeds from harsh environments.”

"On that day, the dawn of hope will shine into the city of twilight, piercing the distorted light that represents decay."

"That's truly a remarkable ideal."

Even a wicked creature like Loren was shaken by the other's ideals and plans.

It can only be said that they are indeed a Druid group. Regardless of how compatible they are with you, at least their firm mind and will are powerful and rare.

"Hiss, this is probably why, even though they're called the Green Terrorists and have done a lot of outrageous things, the Federation still tolerates them to a great extent?"

If a warrior or mage had organized and initiated a bloodbath in the abyss, both sides would be being punished right now.

If they were paladins... they'd probably still be in the abyss right now. It's hard to say if they'll even get out; if they accidentally unleashed their Evil-Slaying Slash, things could get interesting.

Loren thought to himself.

However, this incident made everyone take Loren's new script much more seriously, and the rehearsals went smoothly. Apart from some props that still needed to be prepared, everything else went well.

Taking this opportunity, Loren also asked Hawke how the gnoll race survived in the wilderness.

"Living alongside giant hyenas, chasing wild animals and their carcasses, we almost gave up on a settled life. As night approached, we would search for abandoned caves, and if we couldn't find any, the leader would designate a spot, and everyone would dig one together..."

"This is no different from a wild animal."

Loren couldn't help but complain, "How come we're getting worse and worse? We're not even as good as we were before the Federation!"

“There is a difference. Among us, only the leader has the instinct of a wild beast seeking refuge, knowing where to dig a hole where fewer people will die.”

Hawke scratched his head and corrected Loren's mistake.

"Personally speaking, I felt a kind of blissful confusion during those days in the wilderness. I didn't know what I was happy about, but it was a strange kind of happiness."

Hawke said with a conflicted expression,
"The tribe I live in is said to be in the outer region of the wilderness. Even so, about one of my people dies every week, sometimes in battle, sometimes for no reason."

"You live in the city all year round and would never see such a scene. Your companion just collapsed and couldn't get up. The chief said it was a feast offered to the land, and the hunting harvest for the following week was indeed very good..."

"But one day, the chief himself was inexplicably invited to a banquet, and then a little boy who was only a few years old was announced as the new chief..."

"It was because when the new chief was trading with the wilderness merchant, he, as a young gnoll, was given a children's comic book by the merchant. He was unhappy and threw it at me, which sparked my interest in drawing and led me to the idea of ​​going to the city."

"After arriving in the city, I realized that my painting skills were not enough to support myself, so I had no choice but to steal to make a living."

“During a theft in the Lower City, I met Mr. Aaron. He arrested me, gave me a meal, and took me to the Emerald Leaf Zoo. He taught me some lessons over a period of time, which is how I became who I am today.”

"Now that I think about it, I know I can never go back to the wilderness."

"I believe I can't stand that kind of life anymore."

"I'm happy if I wake up alive in the morning, happy if I find a bone left over by another carnivore, and even happier if I win a fight with my giant hyena companion over who gets the top spot and then fuck it!"

Hawke reminisced about the old days, a conflicted smile appearing on his hairy face.

This last one is clearly wrong, you've committed the crime of being a sad wind!
This is a children's theater, not your online art studio. By the way, were you really given children's comic books back then?
If I remember correctly, hyenas, both male and female, have that thing, right? You guys are pretty fancy, aren't you?

Loren was deeply suspicious, but he kept his grievances to himself and didn't blurt them out.

This doesn't quite fit his image as a dragon, at least not in the eyes of this group of evil people who respectfully call him their Lord, the Great Red Dragon.

Little Red Dragon has a sense of shame.

All he could say was that, as a zoo, Cuiye Zhenqi was indeed full of talented people.
