Chapter 37 .Hope is still circulating
A week after the end of the Dragon War that shocked the world, Dick, wearing a noble hunting suit, was sitting in Stormwind Fortress. Jaina had already returned to Theramore, and Dick would also go back there after today’s meeting was over.
The Black Scythe Council has already begun its action. At the same time that the Dark Iron dwarves began to secretly strangle the Twilight Cultists, evil warlocks appeared in the Scorching Gorge and Burning Steppes one after another, and any strongholds related to Twilight were swarmed by demons. destroy.
For this reason, Dick gave another piece of information. The traces of the four mysterious demons who had been wandering in the world of Azeroth since the end of the War of the Ancients were transferred to Kanrethad, the warlock who was recovering. We are very satisfied with this transaction after launching the eyeliner investigation.
And under Dick’s matchmaking bridge, Prager of the Black Iron Bar also obtained the right of passage from Thaurissan to the ruins of the Blackrock Spire, which is currently sealed. After the Shadow Castle, the second one can be provided to the warlocks. The power to capture the demon was officially born. Although both the scale and the quality were much worse than the Shadow Castle, which almost contracted Felwood’s demon resources, at least those warlocks also had new choices.
Especially for some warlocks who don’t trust Shadowcastle very much, the Dark Iron Bar has become their new stronghold. In exchange, Prager will also “secretly” reveal some news about the dark world when necessary. Give it to Dick, and when it comes to things that the Paladins are inconvenient to handle, they can do it for them who walk in the dark.
From this moment on, Dick can be regarded as having an eye in the dark world. Although Kanrezad has a strong desire to control and has a paranoid obsession with dark power, after a series of things, Dick can barely be considered. Trusted guy.
But these things have nothing to do with today’s invitation.
“Thanks to you, warrior, the Kingdom of Stormwind avoided a terrible subversion, not to mention that you saved me and my son from the evil black dragon!”
Varian, who had just returned to Stormwind, sat on the throne, his face still scared, except for his white hair, his appearance was exactly the same as Golash, but the panic and trembling temperament that he showed on his body made Di Ke felt very awkward.
“Needless to say, Your Majesty, I am also a member of the human race. After the tragedy of Lordaeron, I can’t helplessly watch the only remaining Storm Kingdom of the Human Alliance in trouble. These are what I should do.”
Dick leaned slightly and said something decent. This attitude also made Varian very satisfied. His spirit was still a little sluggish, so after a few more words, supported by the attendant, he went back to the palace to cultivate. .
Onyxia’s soul split, leaving Varian’s cowardice, fear, and kindness in this body. Now Varian is a truly good person, but he will definitely not be a good king. , The Black Dragon Princess once wanted to achieve the goal of controlling the entire country by controlling such a weak king, but after Dick’s chaos, her good idea was completely broken, and she even lost her life in advance.
However, this burden must be carried by the Kingdom of Stormwind, especially Marshal Windsor, who is sitting on a chair with frowning brows, and Sean, who can’t see his expression. These two are currently the spokespersons of Stormwind’s military, and they are also Stormwind City. The temporary governors of, they have been under a lot of pressure recently. The nobles are in chaos, and the situation that has just stabilized is showing signs of bad. Therefore, as a last resort, they have to call back the Duke of Balwal, who was exiled from the Burning Plains, to return to the town. scene.
But what caused Dick the most headache was the old man with white hair and a beautiful white beard sitting on the left hand of the king. He was wearing a white robe made of coarse cloth and holding a thorny stick in his hand. Even if it was nearly ten meters away, the surging, substantive power of the Holy Light still made Dick a little frightened.
Because how strong the holy light on the surface is, how strong the darkness he holds!
The black dragon’s conspiracy failed, but Twilight’s calculations succeeded.
Benedictus, the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, the spiritual leader of the Kingdom of Stormwind, the pro-disciple under the crown of Faor, and the saint in the hearts of all light users. In the dark world, this great man is also a great man, Di Ke can’t forget how he, who claimed to be the “Bishop of Twilight”, united with Deathwing during the cataclysm, and pushed the Twilight Judgment with one hand. If it weren’t for the footmen’s strength, I’m afraid the fear of extinction would be Has become a real reality.
If Archimonde is the most powerful opponent Dick has ever encountered, and Nefarian is the most dangerous opponent Dick has encountered, then Benitadis is the most troublesome opponent Dick has ever encountered. .
He was not afraid of Dick revealing his true colors, because no one would believe such nonsense rumors. Archbishop Benedictus single-handedly promoted the post-war reconstruction of Stormwind Kingdom and supported everyone’s hope during those difficult years. “Saints”, the prestige is terribly high in the entire human world.
In fact, if Dick dared to reveal the true face of Benedictus, I am afraid he would be immediately regarded as a devil-like role by sincere and crazy believers.
Now it seems that the cowardly Varian is affected or controlled by Benedictus. This is already a certainty. In other words, the future Stormwind Kingdom is likely to become another hardest hit area for Twilight Cultists. But for this future, Dick really can’t think of a good way.
Fortunately, after reading the letter from Nefarian, Windsor began to have doubts about Benedictus. In addition, the Duke of Balwal, who is currently guarding the Burning Plains, is about to return. The situation in Stormwind, at least In the next few years, it won’t change too badly.
But when Dick was silent, Benedictus spoke first.
“A good warrior like you appeared under the command of the Holy Light. This is a blessing for us believers! I plan to grant you the title of “Knight of Dawn” in the name of the Cathedral of Light, and I plan to form a team in Stormwind City. A small-scale Paladin army to deal with the more difficult scenes in the future, Knight Dick, you are an experienced old knight. What do you think of this suggestion?”
This statement made Dick shocked. The Dawn Knights didn’t care about anything, but Benedictus wanted to form a Paladin army? Is he crazy?
Although Twilight’s power is more chaotic than pure evil like natural disasters and demons, the paladin on the order side is also regarded as the nemesis of this power, and the determined paladin is also very resistant to chaos, if If Benedictus intends to corrupt the Paladin, it would take a lot of strength and a long time.
“With all due respect, Archbishop.”
Dick thought, “Although there are many followers of the Holy Light in the Kingdom of Stormwind, the scale of the paladins has always been very small. The kingdom has been in peace for a long time, and it is difficult to cultivate true paladins. It’s too dangerous, so the plan you are about to make will be very difficult, and it may be even more difficult than you think!”
“That’s the truth!”
Benedictus laughed and clapped his hands, then stroked his beard and said, “You are right, so I plan to recruit some experienced old knights from the brothers in Northern Xinjiang as instructors. After the apprentices have completed their training, Send them to Northern Xinjiang to participate in the purification of the evil undead. Didn’t the Silver Hand plan to build a reserve base in Lakeside Town before? This matter should also be on the agenda, and I will call on those who are interested in serving the Holy Light. Believers are joining the construction.”
The archbishop turned to Marshal Windsor,
“In this way, after being expelled from the darkness of northern Xinjiang, Stormwind City can also have its own holy light force, your marshal, I also plan to choose some elite soldiers from the soldiers to fill it, what do you think?”
Although the old marshal had doubts about the archbishop, he was only doubtful after all. The suggestions made by Benedictus were beneficial to the Kingdom of Stormwind in all aspects, so he did not object, but nodded.
“Yes, I welcome the Cathedral to select elite soldiers from the army!”
Dick’s heart was bright at this time, and he was indeed an old fox!
The Paladin thought with his heel, knowing where the old knights invited by Benedictus came from!
The Scarlet Crusades, those fanatical powers that purify all evil are just formed, but their madness is heard even by Dick in Southern Xinjiang. If the knight apprentices of Benedictus follow the group and go astray. The farther the enthusiasts study together, Dick doubts what kind of army Stormwind City will reap in the end.
That would be the beginning of disaster! It will also be the beginning of Twilight’s real coverage of this country!
But apart from him, no one knows what the Scarlet Crusade will become in the end, so even if he wants to oppose it, there is no good reason. In the end, he can only bite the bullet and say,
“Very good proposal. Actually, the Silver Dawn of Theramore can help if you need it. After all, Northern Xinjiang is also our home.”
Benedictus glanced at Dick with a smile and nodded.
“Yes, the Cathedral of Illumination welcomes any believer in the Holy Light. By the way, having said that, I talked with your Majesty yesterday. Your Majesty intends to find a mentor for Prince Anduin. I recommend you, Knight Dick, As one of the most outstanding Paladins, you are enough to hold this position.”
When these words came out, not only Dick, but also Wen De Sole and Sean looked blank, but after thinking about it, the two people still showed a look of agreement. Dick, as Anduin’s mentor, really let all People are very relieved, and he is still the northern earl of Theramore. In the eyes of the human world, Theramore is actually the rebuilt Lordaeron. If the little prince destined to inherit the throne can rule with Theramore when he was a child If they have a good relationship, it will not hurt at all for the Kingdom of Stormwind!
With reason and emotion, this suggestion of Benedict is very exciting!
“But I may stay in Theramore for a long time…”
Dick was also a little moved. He knew how strong the little prince’s talent was. In his opinion, Anduin should have been a paladin from the beginning, not a priest, but as he said, he stayed outside for so long. , It’s time to stay in Theramore for a while, and then he will probably stay in Kalimdor for a long time.
“Because of the current state of insecurity in the kingdom, Your Majesty has agreed to allow His Highness Anduin to live in Theramore temporarily. I believe that Princess Kalia will take care of the little prince very well, so don’t worry about this. !”
The words of Benedictus have reached this point, and Dick has no reason to refuse. Although he is very clear that the archbishop is only doing this to allow him to better influence and control Varian, but to allow Ann. Dick was still willing to escape from the clutches of Duin.
Anyway, as long as Gorush returns, all the influence and manipulation of Benedictus will be invalidated, and no one can control the ghost wolf.
After a hypocritical farewell, Dick took the smug little prince’s hand and walked out of Stormwind Fortress. It was obvious that even Varian, who was stripped of his personality, still focused all his energy on himself. Looking at the king’s tearful eyes on his son, Dick finally knew why the little prince had to be sent away by Benedictus.
As long as Anduin is still there, Varian will never obey him unconditionally.
This is exactly the same as in the history of the game, the ghost wolf is a good king, a good warrior, and the best father.
“Hope is still circulating! Dawn Knight, continue to fight for the Holy Light!”
Benedictus stood on the edge of Stormwind’s port, letting the sea breeze blow his beard. His benevolent look made Dick feel good, but he knew what kind of character he was facing, so He just put his left fist on his chest and saluted silently.
When the outline of Stormwind slowly moved away, Anduin sat on the side of the ship and felt the fear of being far away from home for the first time. Just when his tears were about to flow, Dick stretched out his hand and rubbed his head. Knead it to make a mess of the smooth blonde hair.
The little prince looked up at the hero in his mind,
“Mr. Dick, will I become a qualified paladin?”
“Yes, kid, you will.”
Dick leaned down and sat cross-legged beside him, “You will become the greatest paladin and the greatest king in the world. I never doubted that.”
In the blue sea and blue sky, two people, one big and one small, were sitting on the side of the ship, and the four royal soldiers who were responsible for defending the prince kept guarding them. The boats were all miraculous goblin razors.
In short, after another period of adventure, Dick intends to take a break and then move on to the next period of life.
In the sun, the irregular red crystal shard on his neck looked so dazzling and charming.
