Benny followed Uther out of the city, standing on a small hill, he looked at the mighty procession, and felt a little helpless, he saved more people, but he could not change the fate of Arthas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Is it that the wheel of history cannot be stopped? Benny muttered to himself.

"Benny!"

Familiar voice, somewhat old. Benny turned his head.

"I went to the church to look for you, but it was empty. ”

"The paladin of the Silver Hand informed me in advance, so I was lucky enough to 'run' out. Flange was still like that, smiling like a chrysanthemum at all times. "You've done a good job, kid, Alan has taken in a good student. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Fran shook his head and pointed to Benny's forehead, "Remember what I said, it's a glory and a duty, and you have lived up to the gift of the Light." ”

Benny pursed his lips and shook his head, "I couldn't stop His Royal Highness. There were a lot of innocent people who died. ”

Fran patted Benny on the shoulder, "No one, including the Light, will say you're not good enough, kid." I've seen Alsace, and he's been under a lot of pressure when he's growing up, and that's not good, you know. ”

Benny nodded gratefully, "I understand, thank you." ”

Fran shook his head, "Everyone should thank you, kid. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”

"Lord Fran, Smith. Uther interrupted their conversation.

Fran nodded: "You talk to Smith, I'll go see if there are any injured people who need help." ”

Uther and Benny saluted and sent the bishop away.

"Smith, thank you. Uther said suddenly, looking at the refugees who were walking out of the city one after another.

"I'm just following the light of my way. ”

"But you saved tens of thousands of people. ”

"Without me, you too would save them. ”

Uther shook her head and turned to look at Benny, "I've wavered too, Smith. ”

Benny was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently. If it weren't for the wavering in his heart, he wouldn't have led someone to turn away without stopping Arthas.

Uther pointed to the still glimmering mark on Benny's forehead and said, "Can you tell me now, what is that?" ”

"The seed of the Light, the gift of the Light. ”

Uther frowned and thought for a moment, "I've never heard of it. ”

"I don't know where it came from, it was there when I first sensed the light. ”

"It's the ones you'll use-----" Uther stroked in the shape of a sword. "The reason for those Holy Light Shortsword?"

"Yes. Benny nodded, and a flying sword of holy light appeared beside him.

Uther observed, "Looks like the judgment we used. ”

"Yes. I made use of the principle of judgment. ”

Uther nodded, and didn't ask any further, although there were still many questions, but it was the Holy Light, and that was enough.

"Your Excellency, may I ask you a question?"

"Just call me Uther. Uther nodded.

"How does the Silver Hand judge the strength of a paladin?"

"Strength standard?" Uther was a little confused.

"Yes, the standard of strength, or the division of ranks. ”

"There's never been a hierarchy, Smith. The stronger our faith, the stronger the Light will be. ”

"Understood. Benny was a little disappointed, as he expected, the world was rather vague about hierarchies, and it seemed that he had to figure it out on his own. He needs a way to judge his strength, whether it's his own or his enemies.

A paladin ran up the hill and said to Uther, "Commander, the refugees are all out of the city. ”

Uther nodded, "Let's go." ”

――――

Two days later, the border with Quel'Salas. Quirrisin Outpost.

"I never expected you to be so many, Lord Uther. Sylvanas frowned, the crowd filling the road, as did the nearby woods, who looked to have more troops than Quel'Salas. When he received the report from Worrahiel, he didn't expect so many people.

Uther sighed, "I understand, ma'am. But we have no other way, Andohar is already overrun by the undead, and we can only take refuge in Quel'Salas temporarily. ”

"I can't make such a big decision, you know. The opening of magical enchantments must be approved by the Silvermoon Council. ”

"I understand, I've already written a letter, so please send someone to pass it on to the Silvermoon Council. Uther pulled out the letter he had prepared and handed it to Sylvanas.

Sylvanas took the letter, called for a game, and commanded a few words. The ranger took the order and left.

"You can only wait here for the time being, I will send people to prepare food and water, but it is difficult to supply so many people in a short period of time. ”

"That's enough, ma'am. Thank you. ”

Uther gave a chest-lifting salute.

Sylvanas waved her hand. "We are all part of the alliance and I go to arrange food and water. ”

Uther nodded, ending the conversation.

――――

"You're a hero now?" Redpass looked at Benny, still like that, his thin body, his long black hair a little messy, and his unhidden mark radiated a soft glow. Shine on his face and make him look sacred.

"I didn't find you with such a sense of humor. Benny rolled his eyes as he hugged the sleeping Pamela.

"I'm not kidding, don't you see the way those people look at you. Redpass gestured to the crowd not far away, where a mother and daughter were bowing to Benny.

Benny smiled back, "Not a hero, Joseph. I'm just doing what I'm doing from my heart. ”

"Heroes aren't heroes, it's not what you say, Benny. Redpass shook his head. "To these people, you are a hero. The same is true for the people of Talonshire. ”

"I'm no different from everyone else, I'm just lucky to have a response from the Light, without the Light, none of this would have been possible, so just thank the Light. ”

Redpass smiled, "You look more and more like an old priest now." ”

Benny looked around and whispered, "If possible, I want to be a god stick!"

Redpass was stunned and laughed. Benny pursed his lips, no one believed the truth these days.

"What are you talking about?"

It was Uther, Redpass stopped smiling, and stood up with Benny to salute.

Uther waved his hand, "Sit down, you will shame me by saluting." ”

Looking at Redpass and Benny's strange expressions, Uther smiled bitterly: "I wavered in Stratholme, if it weren't for Benny, Stratholme wouldn't have survivors." Stopping Benny from trying to say something, Uther continued, "You're better than I do, Benny. I hope you can do better in the future, can you lead these people. ”

"Me?" Benny was a little surprised. "There is His Excellency the Bishop, and so many ----"

Uther interrupted him again: "In a situation like Stratholme, no one is going to do it better than you, Benny. And the Light that you have revealed, which is very --- pure. Purer than mine. ”

Benny pointed to the faintly glowing mark on his forehead, "That's the reason for it, Your Excellency." ”

Uther smiled, "It chose you, didn't it? There's a reason for that, I always thought Arthas was the most gifted young man I've ever met, until I met you." You are younger than Alsace, more talented than him, and more determined ----. ”

At the mention of Arthas, Uther's face darkened slightly.
