Chapter 38: David Croford
"The war hammer in your hand is not for a woman's massage, so you can't use some strength?"
"But didn't you just say you wanted to spare your strength? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Is your head full of orc feces? I let you spare no effort, I didn't let you not use your strength, who specially recruited you into the silver hand, and the silver hand would have been a fool like you, and the orcs would have been killed long ago. ”
As soon as Benny reached the gate of the barracks, he heard Catherine Maitreya shouting and scolding from behind the barracks. Benny was debating whether or not to go in when Keller ran into him on the door.
"Reverend Smith, why are you here? Come in. ”
"No, Captain Banks, I just want to ask, has the report to the Silver Hand been sent out?"
Banksy nodded. "I sent someone out overnight yesterday. ”
"Can I know how long it will take to get a reply?"
"Absolutely, about 4-6 days. ”
"Got it, then I'm ----"
Benny was just about to say goodbye, when Catherine Maitreya, with a two-handed sword on her back, stood directly in front of him.
"You were the one last night?"
Her tone made Benny consider whether it would be better to just turn away. Taking a breath and silently saying three times in his heart that I am a pastor, Benny suppressed his anger.
"It's Benedict Smith, Captain Catherine Maitreya. ”
Maitreya nodded, "Smith." What are you doing here?"
"It's nothing, I'm leaving. ”
"I just happened to have something to do with you. Let's go inside. ”
"No, just say outside, the church is under construction, I need to go back and have a look. ”
"I want you to help train them," Maitreya turned to Nunu at the back of the barracks.
"Me?" said Benny chuckled. "Captain Maitreya, I'm just a priest. ”
What kind of joke is this, now the new paladin's baptism of light can be completed by himself. The training is all about finding experienced old knights to teach combat skills. He's a pastor and what a fuss about.
"You didn't act like a priest yesterday!" Maitreya shook his head, "I don't know much, but I know that priests don't use that kind of light snake-like spell. You look more like a wizard, Mr. Benedict Smith. What's more, in the Silver Hand, many paladins will learn from the priest the perception of the Holy Light. ”
"That doesn't mean I can train paladins, Captain Maitreya. Benny shook his head and smiled.
"Really?" Maitreya looked at the mark on Benny's forehead.
Benny shook his head.
"Then fight with me!" Maitreya drew his sword directly.
"Captain!
Banks wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Maitreya.
"Shut up!
Benny frowned, "Are you sure you're a paladin?"
"It's just a fight, hurry up! Don't talk to a!"
Benny suddenly smiled: "Maitreya, were you a hunter before?"
"What?" Maitreya was a little stunned by his question.
"Trapping is not what a paladin is supposed to do. ”
Benny's heart moved, and the forehead mark suddenly glowed slightly, and a burst of fire erupted in front of the camp gate.
"I don't understand why you have such a character as a paladin, but you should understand, Captain Maitreya. You and I represent not only ourselves, but in the eyes of others, we often represent the Light!"
"If you don't fight, you won't fight, what do you do if you say so much. Keller pursed his lips, not embarrassed at all, and turned straight into the barracks.
Banksy came out of nowhere and apologized to Benny in embarrassment. With such a captain, he is really hard enough as an adjutant.
Accepting Banksy's apology, Benny returns to the inn. Asked for dinner, Benny thought as he ate.
When everything is on track, the next step is to keep an eye on the food that Andorhar is sending to the Stratholme district, and after discovering the plague, directly persuade the paladins here to go to Andorhar. If the source of the plague can be found, it would be the best. If he couldn't, he would have to take a great risk to stop Artace.
Early the next morning, he called Slane and told him to pay attention to the grain team in Andorhar, and when the food team passed by, he tried to buy a small amount of food to bring to him, and Slane did not ask much, although he was surprised. After Slane left, he called the innkeeper and inquired about the general situation in the town, and Benny began his missionary career.
Time flew quickly, and the church was finally completed in just over two months. The church is slightly larger than the private house, with a prayer hall, two ashrams, and four houses. Enough for a small town.
At 7 a.m., Benny was standing in the ashram, frowning as he looked at the small bag of grain that Raines had sent last night. It's June now, and Slane has already sent him three trips to Andorjar's food, and he hasn't noticed any problems.
Benny gathered the light in his hand and put it on the food again. After a few moments, the light dissipated, and Benny lowered his hand.
"Still nothing happens. Could it be that the plague studied by Kel'thugad does not conflict with the Light?" Benny said to himself, frowning. "Not really, after all, no one would be able to inspect food with holy light like they did. It seems that Kel'thugad has not yet begun to act. ”
Benny relaxed his brow, put the food in the corner of the ashram, and walked out of the ashram.
"Good day, Pastor Smith. "It's Amy, Slane's wife and a follower of the Light, who Benny hires to help clean the church.
"Good day, Aunt Bell. Benny nodded kindly.
"There's a knight in front of me, and he's praying. Amy had a strange look on her face.
Benny nodded, a little strange indeed. "I'll take a look. ”
There were a few people sitting scattered in the hall, and there was indeed a middle-aged paladin wearing the Silver Hand standard armor. Without alarming him, Benny sat on a horizontal chair in the front row of the hall and made a prayer gesture, actually trying to communicate with Naru in his mind.
After a while, there was no response in my head. Benny glanced back, and the paladin had finished praying and was looking at him.
"Reverend Smith?" the paladin walked up. Glancing at the mark on Benny's head.
Benny stood up and nodded. "It's me, you're it?"
The paladin put his hand on his chest and bent slightly: "I am the paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand, David Croford. ”
Benny's heart moved, Davi Croford Paladin leader in the war in Daron County?
Benny returned the favor. "Hello, I'm Benedict Smith. Appointed by the Church of Lordaeron to preach here. You're here ----?."
"I'm from Talonshire, and I happened to be passing by, and I heard that there was a 'different' priest here, so I came over to have a look. ”
Benny shook his head and smiled. "I'm not 'out of the ordinary', I'm just an ordinary servant of the Light. ”
"I see. Croford smiled and nodded. "By the way, I brought the news of the Silver Hand, the 'Cursed Sect' discovered in Daronjun last time, the Silver Hand has also made some discoveries. ”
"Oh?" Benny felt a little strange in his heart, didn't the Silver Hand reply last time, saying that it must be another trick played by the orcs, so there is no need to worry. "We went to the room and said. ”
Carrying Croford into the room, Benny poured him a glass of water. Croford took the water and took a sip.
"Our paladins in Andohal caught a member of the Cursed Sect, but during interrogation, suddenly 'evaporated'. ”
"Evaporation?"
"Yes, the flesh was 'vaporized' and only a skeleton remained. And -----" Croford stopped talking.
"And the skeleton is 'alive'?" Benny took over.
Croford's eyes lit up: "Looks like you know something." ”
