37. Hope is still circulating

A week after the end of the Battle of the Dragons, Dick in a noble hunting costume sat in Stormwind Fortress, Gianna had already gone back to Theramore, and Dick would go there after today's meeting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Council of the Black Scythe has already begun to act, and at the same time that the Black Iron Dwarves begin to secretly strangle the Twilight cultists, the evil warlocks appear in the Scorching Canyons and Burning Plains, destroying any strongholds associated with Twilight by the demons that swarm them.

To this end, Dick paid another piece of information, and the traces of four mysterious demons who had been roaming the world of Azeroth since the end of the War of the Ancients had been handed over to Kanressad, who was recovering from his wounds, and the warlocks were satisfied with the deal after launching their eyeliner reconnaissance.

And under Dick's matchmaking, Pragg of the Black Iron Bar also got the right of way to the ruins of the Blackstone Tower, which is currently tightly sealed, from Thoreson, and after the Shadow Castle, the second force that can be provided to the warlocks to capture the demons was officially born, although both in terms of scale and quality, it is much worse than the Shadow Castle, which has almost contracted the demon resources of the Felwood Forest, but at least those warlocks also have a new choice.

Especially for some warlocks who don't trust the Shadow Castle very much, the Black Iron Bar has become their new stronghold, and in exchange, Prager will also "secretly" reveal some news of the dark world to Dick when necessary, and they can do it for the paladins in the dark when it is inconvenient to deal with them.

It was also from this moment that Dick could be regarded as having pierced an eye in the dark world, although Kanresard had a strong desire for control and a paranoid obsession with the dark power, but after a series of events, he was barely a guy that Dick could trust.

But these things have nothing to do with today's invitation.

"Thanks to you, Warrior, the Stormwind Kingdom has been able to avoid a terrible upheaval, 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 was still afraid, except for his white hair, he looked exactly like Gorash, but the panic and trembling temperament on his body made Dick feel very awkward.

"Needless to say, Your Majesty, I am also a member of the human race, and after the tragedy of Lordaeron, I cannot watch the Stormwind Kingdom, the last remaining member of the Human Alliance, fall into trouble, these are all I should do. ”

Dick bowed slightly, and said very decent words, this attitude also made Varian very satisfied, his spirit was still a little sluggish, so after a few more words, with the support of the attendant, he went back to the dormitory to recuperate.

Onenessia's soul split, leaving the cowardice, fear, and kindness of Varian's personality in this shell, now Varian is a really good person, but definitely not an excellent king, the black dragon princess once wanted to control the entire country by controlling such a weak king, but after Dick's ingress, her good ideas were completely broken, and even lost her life in advance.

However, this burden still has to be carried by the Stormwind Kingdom in the end, especially Marshal Wendsol who is sitting on the chair with a frown and Shaun who can't see his expression clearly, these two are currently the spokesmen of the military in Stormwind City, and they are also the temporary rulers of Stormwind City.

But what bothered Dick the most was actually the white-haired, white-haired, kind-eyed old man sitting on the king's left hand, wearing a white robe made of coarse cloth, holding a thorny cane in his hand, even if it was nearly ten meters away, the surging and substantial power of holy light still made Dick a little frightened.

Because how strong the light is on the surface, how strong is the darkness in his grasp!

The Black Dragon's plot fails, but Twilight's calculations do.

Benedictas, the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, the spiritual leader of the Stormwind Kingdom, the personal disciple of Fao, the saint in the hearts of all the users of the Holy Light, in the dark world, this big man is also a great big man, Dick can't forget how in the cataclysm, the self-proclaimed "Twilight Bishop", how he united with Deathwing and single-handedly promoted the progress of the Twilight Trial, if it wasn't for the foot men who were strong enough, I am afraid that the fear of annihilation would have become a real reality.

If Akmund was the most formidable opponent Dick had ever faced, and Nefarian was the most dangerous opponent Dick had ever faced, then Benitadis was the most troublesome opponent Dick had ever encountered.

He was not afraid of Dick revealing his true colors, because no one would believe such nonsense rumors, but Archbishop Benedictas single-handedly promoted the post-war reconstruction of the Stormwind Kingdom, and in that difficult years, he supported the "saints" that everyone hoped for, and his reputation was terrifying in the entire human world.

In fact, if Dick dared to reveal Benedictas's true colors, I am afraid that he would immediately be considered a devilish character by sincere and crazy believers.

Now it seems that the cowardly Varian is influenced or controlled by Benedictas, which is already a sure thing, that is to say, the future Stormwind Kingdom is likely to become another hard-hit area for the flood of Twilight cultists, but for this future, Dick really can't think of any good way.

Fortunately, after reading the letter from Nefarian, Wendthor also began to have doubts about Benedictas, and with the imminent return of Duke Berval, who is currently guarding the Burning Plains, the situation in Stormwind City will not get too bad for at least the next few years.

And while Dick was silent, Benedictas spoke first.

"The presence of such a good warrior as you under the command of the Holy Light is a blessing for us believers! I plan to confer on you the title of "Knight of the Dawn" in the name of the Cathedral of Light, and I also plan to form a small paladin army in Stormwind City to deal with more difficult situations in the future, Knight Dick, you are an experienced old knight, what do you think of this suggestion?"

This statement made Dick froze for a moment, the Dawn Knight could not care or anything, but Benedictas was actually going to form a paladin army?

Although Twilight's power tends to be more chaotic than pure evil like Scourge and demons, the paladins on the order side are also the nemesis of this power, and the determined paladins are also highly resistant to chaos, if Benedictas intends to corrupt the paladin, it is estimated that it will take a lot of power and a long time.

"With all due respect, Archbishop. ”

Dick muttered, "Although there are many Holy Light believers in the Storm Kingdom, the scale of the paladins has always been very small, the kingdom has been peaceful for a long time, it is difficult to cultivate true paladins, and the Burning Plains are too dangerous for the apprentices, so this plan you are about to carry out will be very difficult, it may be much more difficult than you think!"

"That's right!"

Benedictas smiled and clapped his hands, then stroked his beard and said, "You're right, so I'm going to recruit some experienced old knights from my brothers in the North as mentors, and after the apprentices have completed their training, I'll send them to the North to participate in the cleansing of the evil undead. ”

The archbishop turned to Marshal Wendthall,

"In this way, after the darkness of the northern frontier is expelled, Stormwind City can also have its own Holy Light force, Your Excellency Marshal, I also plan to choose some elites from the soldiers to fill it, what do you think?"

Although the old marshal had doubts about the archbishop, he was only suspicious after all, and the proposal put forward by Benedictas was beneficial to the Stormwind Kingdom in all respects, so he did not object, but nodded.

"Yes, I'd love to welcome the Cathedral to the army to select elite soldiers!"

Dick's heart was bright at this time, and it was really an old fox!

The paladins thought on their heels and knew where the old knights invited by Benedictas came from!

The Scarlet Crusaders, those fanatical forces to purify all evil, although they have just been formed, their madness has even been heard of by Dick in the southern frontier, if Benedictas's knight apprentices learn with the group of fanatics who are going further and further down the wrong path, Dick is very suspicious of what kind of army Stormwind will gain in the end.

That would be the beginning of disaster! It would be the beginning of a real twilight over the country!

But apart from him, no one knew what the Scarlet Crusaders would become in the end, so even if he wanted to oppose it, he didn't have a good reason, so he could only bite the bullet and say,

"Very good proposal, in fact, if you need it, the Silver Dawn of Theramore can also help, after all, the northern frontier is also our home. ”

Benedictas glanced at Dick with a smile and nodded,

"Yes, the Cathedral of Light welcomes any devotees of the Light, by the way, speaking of which, I spoke with His Majesty yesterday, and His Majesty intends to find a mentor for Prince Anduin, and I recommend you, Knight Dick, as one of the most outstanding paladins, you are enough to hold this position. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Dick, but even Wendsol and Sean were at a loss, but after thinking about it, the two of them still showed a look of approval, Dick, as Anduin's mentor, really reassured everyone, and he is also the northern earl of Theramore, Theramore In the eyes of the human world, he is actually the rebuilt Lordaeron, and the little prince destined to inherit the throne If he can have a good relationship with the rulers of Theramore when he is a child, it will not be harmful to the Stormwind Kingdom at all!

Reasonably, Benedictas's suggestion is very exciting!

"But I'll probably be in Theramore for a long time afterward..."

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, after staying out for so long, it was time to stay in Theramore for a while, and then he would probably stay in Kalimdor for a long time.

"In the current state where the kingdom is not safe, His Majesty has agreed to let His Highness Anduin live in Theramore temporarily, and I believe that the eldest princess of Kaliya will also take good care of the little prince, so you don't have to worry about this!"

Benedictas's words had come to this point, and Dick had no reason to refuse, although he knew very well that the archbishop was only doing this so that he could better influence and control Varian, but Dick was still willing to let Anduin escape from the clutches.

Anyway, as long as Gorash returns, all of Benedictas' influence and manipulation will be nullified, and no one will be able to control the ghost wolf.

After a hypocritical farewell, Dick took the hand of the ambitious little prince and walked out of the stormy fortress, and it could be seen that even Varian, who had been stripped of his personality, still focused all his energy on his son, and looking at the king's tearful eyes, Dick finally knew why the little prince had to be sent away by Benedictas.

As long as Anduin remains, Varian will never obey him unconditionally.

It's exactly like in the history of the game, Ghost Wolf is a good king, a good warrior, and the best father.

"Hope is still circulating! Knight of Dawn, continue to fight for the Light!"

Benedictas stood on the edge of Stormwind harbor, letting the sea breeze blow his beard, and his kind eyes made Dick can't help but feel good, but he knew what kind of person he was facing, so he just put his left fist to his chest and saluted in silence.

As the silhouette of Stormwind slowly faded away, Anduin sat on the side of the ship, feeling the fear of being away from home for the first time, and just as his tears were about to flow, Dick reached out and rubbed it on his head, crumpling the smooth blonde hair into a mess.

The little prince looked up at the hero in his mind,

"Mr. Dick, will I be a proper 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 sea breeze, two people, one big and one small, sat on the side of the ship, and the four royal soldiers responsible for guarding the prince stood by an inch, and the boats were all MI7 goblin razors.

In short, after another adventure, Dick intends to take a break and move on to the next part of his life.

In the sunlight, the irregular red crystal shard around his neck looked so dazzling and charming.
