Chapter 35: Arrival

Two days later, Benny followed the caravan to and from Stratholme to County Talon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't use any of the church's resources, and paid three gold coins for the journey. After all, he didn't want to draw too much attention from the church.

Sitting in the wagon in the middle of the caravan, Benny felt like he was about to fall apart. This so-called wagon is nothing more than a horse pulling a cart. This is already the smoothest car for the caravan.

"Mr. Pastor, if you are really unwell, we can hire a carriage in the next village. "The owner of the caravan, Alger, is a cultist of the Light, more of a farmer than the usual chubby merchants. The folds that covered his face made it impossible for Benny to tell how old he was.

"Thank you, Mr. Alger. No need. The bumpy carriage made Benny's voice rise and fall slightly.

"If you need anything, you must tell me. "Although this priest wore a hood all the way, he could tell that he was very young. Will not be more than 25 years old. To be able to come out and serve a mission at such a young age must be a devout pastor.

"Mr. Alger, I would like to know how long it will take us to get to Talon County. Benny felt that he was completely masochistic, and that a good carriage should not be a board car.

"Just call me Alger. We will be in Lung in about a week. He pulled out a water bag from behind him and handed it to Benny, "Drink some water, it will feel better." The first time I came out with my father, I was not as good as you. The convoy hadn't gone a few hundred meters before I threw up a mess. ”

Taking the hydration bag from Alger's hand, Benny didn't speak. Because he was afraid that he would not be able to control and spit it out. He swallowed hard and suppressed the churning in his stomach. I finally feel better.

"Are there any dangers on the way?" Benny tried to distract himself from a chat.

"No, bandits and so on are long gone, and there are no wild beasts on the road. The orc crumbs were also dealt with by Lord Uther. His Majesty Terenus is a wise monarch who governs our country well. Speaking of King Terenus, Alger's face was full of respect.

"Yes, that's right. Benny smiled, but he didn't think so.

A qualified king is not only the performance during his reign, but also whether he can cultivate a qualified heir. Terenus is not a good father, and the whole forest remembers your name, and you are destined to be crowned king. Indoctrination from an early age has allowed Arthas to hold himself to the standards of the monarch of the kingdom. He grew up to be a seemingly good prince though. But his character doomed him to tragedy, because he was full of yearning for power, and he felt that he should be the guardian of this country, a hero admired by all. So while in Stratholme, the Dreadlord led him into the abyss with a little guidance.

Thinking of the impending disaster, Benny fell silent for a moment. Seeing that Mr. Pastor was not speaking, and knowing that the chat was over, Alger jumped out of the carriage and went to the back of the convoy.

A week later, Benny arrived in Daron County, and when he reached the entrance to the town, it was already a little dark, after all, the caravan's destination was Stratholme, and they could only keep Benny at a distance of 30,000 yards east of Talon County.

Talung County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the overall terrain resembles a square with one side missing. The wide entrance is a flat river, and you can see the central square at a glance. Upon entering the town, the entrance suddenly narrows. There are two small mountain bags on both sides, like city gates that are open on both sides.

When Benny arrived at the entrance, he saw only two guards dressed as militiamen at the entrance, one of whom bowed to the immature one: "Welcome, honorable priest." ”

Benny replied, "I'm a missionary to the church, can you please take me to the mayor?"

"Of course, please come with me. The guard cleaned up and headed for the town.

Walking into the town, as Benny imagined, although it won't be a town with three or four houses like in the game, it's really not big. It's said to be a town, but it's actually more like a village. The houses stand scattered in the middle of the valley, and to the east is a large field where you can see people returning home by hand. The inn and well at the entrance of the town are the same as in the game, and several townspeople who are fetching water look curiously at the priest wearing a hood and a god robe. Since the last missionary whose name he could no longer remember died, there had been no pastor for many years. Although there is a small group of paladins stationed in the town, they actually look no different from those knights.

"There hasn't been a pastor here for many years. So people are a little curious. The guard leading the way explained somehow.

"That's what I'm here for, and although there's already a team of paladins stationed here, I think a priest is different. ”

The militia nodded: "Those paladins are training their combat skills every day, if it weren't for the fact that I saw them release the power of the Holy Light, I would have thought that they were those real knights." ”

Benny nodded and didn't speak, they had arrived.

"This is the mayor's house. The lead guard pointed to the house that was significantly higher than the others, knocking on the door and explaining to Benny. "There aren't many people here, so there are no other officials except the mayor, so I haven't suggested the government office. ”

Benny nodded, it seemed more like people were self-governing here. And the paladins stationed here and the local militia are more symbolic. After all, during the orc war, the war did not spread here.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man, not very tall, about the same as 15-year-old Benny, not the image of an exploiter like the image of a Western medieval official, of medium stature, with a slight middle-aged man's fortune. The smiling face looks like a standard good old man.

"Ah, dear pastor, hello. Even though it was a little dark, the mayor could catch a glimpse of Benny's priest's robes. "I just received a letter from Lordaeron the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect you to come so quickly. ”

"There's a caravan bound for Stratholme, and I'm with them. Benny took off his hood, and the dim sky made the shimmering Naru mark on his forehead stand out.

Mayor Mare glanced at Benny's face, a little surprised at his youth. He wasn't surprised by the mark on Benny's forehead, he had seen the elves of Quel'Thalas, and the elves had blue eyes, and there were many half-elves in Stratholme, some of whom inherited the strange glowing eyes of the elves. He thought Benny might be a half-race kid of some race.

The mayor kept looking at his face, making Benny think that he was not surprised by the mark on his forehead, and just wanted to speak, the mayor suddenly reacted and made a gesture to invite in, "Look at me, let you stand outside and talk for a long time, please come in!"

"If it's all right, I'll go back to my sentry. The guard who led Benny pursed his lips, looking like he didn't like the mayor very much.

"Thank you, and may the Holy Light shine on the path ahead of you. ”

"May the Light be with you. The guard saluted, turned and walked away.
