The Beginning of Teenage Chapter 4 A New Path
Three years have passed since the white horse passed in a blink of an eye, and Edland's gang was 14 years old.
According to the precocious period of Azeroth's children, the children at this time can be regarded as entering the adolescent stage, and during this time, all the children who study hard have grown up well in the Holy Light Monastery, including Renault, of course.
After all, when the overall environment is striving for progress, when his father is becoming more and more strict with him, there is no reason for Renaud to still be the same as before, and he has also changed his face through his own efforts, so that he finds that when he works hard like this, the people he likes will have a better attitude towards him, and this motivation is enough for him to persevere.
Another interesting thing is that since Bridget injured Edlan in sparring, the former began to call himself Adelan's follower, saying that it was to pay off the "debt" that caused him to be injured.
In this regard, the elders, including Bridget's father, General Alfred are also happy to see it, he thinks that it is a very good thing for his daughter to take responsibility, and it is natural that the father is very happy to see his daughter grow up so obviously. But the juniors were playing hard, and they coaxed the two to "pair" at first, but gradually, when Bridget insisted on following Edlan day after day, almost never leaving him except for sleeping and going to the toilet, it blocked everyone's mouths.
Adelan also has a headache, how did it become like this? Isn't it just a scalp scrape?
The 14-year-old is still not too tall, but he is about the same height as a girl, but he is still shorter than other boys of a distinctly European race. The extremely rare black hair and black pupils made him very recognizable in the monastery, and the child's body also grew a little stronger after he grew up, and his face also faded a lot of immaturity, adding a touch of perseverance.
Of course, it would be better if there was no Brigitte who had been following him all the time, so that everyone was accustomed to it, and the elders thought that this was the children "playing at home", but Edlan felt a headache about it, and from Bridt's eyes, he could see that she was serious, and according to her temperament, maybe she would really disobey her father's arrangement.
There is another thing that makes him feel a headache, that is, his relationship with Lisa has become very cold unconsciously, and even the other party has a little bit of hostility every time he sees him? But this hostility doesn't seem to be for him, but for Brigitte? This makes him very cute and revolve around him every time he was a child when he was still carefree in the past, and now he feels very uncomfortable in his heart with such a separate performance.
In the past three years, Adelane has secretly learned the precepts in the priest department and some offensive spells under the sacred branch, such as "Holy Fire", "Punishment", and the "Holy Nova" that he secretly developed first, the attack skills of these three major priest departments are enough for him to become a junior priest, and according to the several release effects that Adelan sneaked out of after sleeping at night, the damage rate of the target dummy is still quite considerable.
It's a pity that this kind of attempt can't be too much, otherwise the blacksmith of the monastery will be suspicious, and the dummy damage caused by the obvious spell damage, but at this time, there are not too many priests practicing their own attack spells, so Edlan can only endure, endure and endure again and make a judgment that the spell he developed is good, and the strength of the spell is acceptable.
If this is a game, and according to the talent at level 60, Edlan is the talent tree of 31 Divine / 20 Commandments pointed out by the way of the main divine and secondary precepts, of course, this is just an assumption, and now even 10 of them will not reach the level of level 60 in the game. He is very partial to "strengthening" the attack power of the Holy Light, rather than healing power.
He has fully mastered the "Truth Word Shield", which is a spell that can release a holy light shield on the target's body, absorbing a certain percentage of damage, and will not disappear until it exceeds its maximum limit or the duration expires; at the same time, he has also learned "Truth Word: Tenacity", which improves the target's mental tenacity and confidence, and can resist the damage of evil spells to a certain extent, and finally "Psychic Fire", which is a short-term amplification skill that can be used on the target's armor, so that its armor can increase some defense, which is very useful.
In terms of other treatment techniques, it is still only the basic "treatment", "rapid treatment" and "dispelling surgery", the first two are easy to understand, and the third "dispelling technique" is used for some simple diseases such as cold and fever patients, so that the patient's resistance can be increased and its self-healing process can be accelerated. Edlan, on the other hand, has learned the "Healing Technique" on his own, which increases the speed of wound healing for a period of time and has a continuous refreshing effect, and the "Cleansing Technique", which removes some toxins and adverse magical effects from the target.
This can be regarded as a success of "stealing teachers".
The only thing that was bad was that he had enough time to try and practice repeatedly, but in a monastery that lived in groups, it was difficult to find such an opportunity, and now that someone still had a "little tail", it was even less of a chance.
On the other hand, as a paladin's skill, no one has taught these children yet, because they are not yet paladins and cannot access this knowledge, but Adelan has become a "thief" compared to the chicken thief, and the paladin skills he has learned so far have "judgment", a certain shameless thief has developed a medium-range attack spell according to "punishment", and its effect can increase additional damage according to different "holy seals", but the "holy seal" thing needs spell casting materials, and Edlan can't get it for the time being, so he is now interested in the "holy seal" This thing can only be seen in the dust.
The other spell is "Holy Shock", which is a good thing, a rare ranged damage skill for paladins, and if you change the spell model and cause a change in nature, you can turn the originally offensive spell into a healing spell, and it is the same as "Judgment" There is no need to cast spells to chant, which is very convenient, but the disadvantage is that these two spells need to consume too much mental power, in terms of Edlan's current ability, he needs to ease down for at least 10 seconds after releasing it once before he can release the next round, otherwise the holy light energy in his body will be disordered due to the short-term transition extraction, endangering himself.
As for the paladin's martial arts, naturally no one has taught him, Edlan now uses some basic martial arts, and he has practiced a lot with his friends, and naturally he has also figured out his own set of effective attack methods, but it is not such a high-end thing as martial arts, it is more wild, but when it comes to training, it may be caused by experience, or it may be caused by wild paths, and it is still very effective to deal with some children who have not practiced martial arts since childhood.
Edlan's martial arts are a little strange, obviously he is a guy who is good at strength, but he is more and more inclined to agile type of speed and dexterity, in the sparring, those children who are not too strong, under Adelan's changeable attack methods, such as the last second I saw him still spinning the sword on the high position, and the next second I saw him pull out a hand to punch the opponent; or obviously the two sides started to strike the next blow immediately after the two swords exchanged swords, but Edlan used the end of the hilt to directly hit the throat of the opponent who was about to split the next sword......
Many people felt that Edlan was not holding a sword, but a dagger, and that he should not have come to receive basic training as a priest, but as a warrior or assassin......
In this way, in 3 years, Edlan's growth can be regarded as the existence of the first echelon in the Holy Light Monastery. At the age of 14, he also happened to be at a crossroads in the lives of these aristocratic children.
Now, there are two choices before them, one is to continue to accept the recommendation and go to the Alonthos Chapel in Stratholme to receive more systematic and in-depth study, although Fa is old, but he can still teach a dozen juniors, and the second is to choose to travel, through his own perception of the Holy Light, and use the basic knowledge he has learned to travel to the countries of mankind, in order to return to the monastery in the future to develop better.
These two choices, Edlan thinks, are just reversing the order, equivalent to one graduating from high school and going to college and then working, and the other working first and then looking back for an adult college to further his education. But for these aristocratic children, the first choice is a certainty, learning the way of holy light under the teaching of Fa Yao, it is like getting a graduation certificate from Tsinghua University and Peking University, and in the future, it will definitely be promoted and raised, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and walk to the peak of life......!
And the latter, obviously unpleasing under such a feudal social system, especially now that the social order has not collapsed, almost no one is willing to choose the latter, and the situation of choosing the latter is generally bankrupt aristocrats, speculators, self-proclaimed bards who are so poor that they rely on some third-rate performances in exchange for living capital, or commoners whose families are poor and want to get a full-fledged clergyman job as soon as possible.
That's right, in this era of feudal royal rule, the paladin is noble, and the knight class is the lowest noble, so the paladin must naturally be a nobleman to be competent, and the general priest can let the commoner serve, after all, the following things still need a lot of manpower to do.
In addition, in the world of Azeroth, the problem of human military system, there are many private soldiers of nobles, as long as they can afford it, there are also cases where a knight has more than a dozen attendant knights. The things that the retinue knights have to do include, but are not limited to, daily patrols, sparring, guards, chores, etc., the feats they have made on the battlefield will be counted on the head of the master, and the dangerous charge will also be they crowded next to the master to ensure the safety of the master, if the master unfortunately dies in battle, according to the responsibility to determine what kind of responsibility those retinue knights should bear, generally speaking, those who dare to "kill" The retinue knights who fled with their master's life and face were to be put to death, and when the battle was over, they had to clean up the battlefield, including cutting off their heads, collecting useful supplies, camping, cooking, and so on.
The best situation of the retinue knight is to become a retainer under the approval of the master, so as to become the master's "family", and the status is a little higher, there is no need to saddle up the horse and do chores all day long, and there is no need to go to the battlefield for fear that a careless master will be implicated, and his descendants can directly inherit the identity of the retinue knight.
Therefore, it is normal for commoners to serve as retinue knights, and for the temptation to become a noble retainer and general, even if it is a corresponding responsibility, many people rush to it.
Having a traveling credential and having practiced the Way of Light in a monastery is not a problem in terms of employment, and many nobles are willing to hire such an attendant for themselves or their children.
But Edlan's little abacus is something that no one can imagine, as they grow up day by day, I am afraid that the day of the outbreak of the plague is just around the corner, he wants to become stronger, it is the strength of the practical school, not to stay under the care of the elders and become an academic theorist, such a person is too difficult in that cruel and turbulent era.
Moreover, the appearance of the undead catastrophe is only the beginning of Azeroth's many disasters, and the next series of disasters that will destroy the world at every turn is what Adelan fears the most, so he must improve himself as soon as possible, and use the "prophet" he has to hug all the thighs he can hold as soon as possible.
Now, on the side of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he already has a lot of connections, the old Mograine is also a master and a father, Dalyan, Lisa, Bridget, Tyran, these characters will stand out in the war against the undead in the future, so the arrangement of this section of the road has been paved.
So where do you go next?
In the end, Edlan, who has his own abacus, chooses to travel. But surprisingly, Dalyan, Lisa, and Bridget, and even Tyran, who is not as present as Edlan, want to go out with him. Maybe it's because the children are playful, or maybe they're really moved by Edlan's idea of "wanting to see the great rivers and mountains of the human nations".
In fact, if this matter was proposed by Edlan, a guy who was still a down-and-out aristocrat in the eyes of outsiders, it would have been better to say, because if it wasn't for the recommendation of old Mograine, he wouldn't even be able to enter the Holy Light Monastery, so when he proposed this choice, the patriarch almost directly agreed, but immediately the children raised their hands one by one to say that they wanted to go together, which gave him a headache. Involving the children of so many powerful people, it is not up to him, a small monastery patriarch, to be the master.
Soon, the nearest old Mograini rushed to hear the news, and without saying a word, he directly launched the high-level skill "Elder's Concern", and the two men, two women and four children were directly defeated, including Bridget, who had been "inseparable" from Edlan before.
As for Adelan, the elder Mograini has a somewhat complicated opinion, because in his opinion, in Adelan's father's generation, his barony has already existed in name only, even if Adelan tries to pay off the debt and exchange it back for the title deed, it can be regarded as disgrace for the nobles.
As a traditional nobleman, such a shame is unacceptable to the aristocracy, he doesn't even treat Edlan as a hereditary baron, but fortunately, this kid knows how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't have any baronial demeanor with him, and seems to position himself directly on the commoner, which is very pleasing to old Mograine. So firstly, it is to take care of the orphans of his old comrades-in-arms, and secondly, because this kid can be a man and lower his posture, so he still took good care of Edlan's childhood.
Old Mograini naturally regarded the luxury pastries launched by his name as the boy's reward for him, and the fame and fortune were not harmful to him, so his sense of the kid was still good.
But Adelan and Lisa sometimes get too close, to be precise, Lisa takes the initiative to find the kid, which makes the old Mograini who is the "father" feel unhappy, and the kid's words and deeds continue to affect his favorite youngest son Dalyan, and even Renault seems to be implicated, which worries the old Mograine, who secretly observes the children's studies in the convent.
So he stepped forward to stop it this time, and he also thought about breaking Edlan away. This time he made a special trip to the monastery not only because of the "concern of the elders", but also on what path the children of the nobles should follow, which must also be carried out in the way of the nobles, he did not want to be the one who broke this rule, and if his old fellows knew that he had brought this matter to them, so that their precious children could not go on a trip, I am afraid that he Alessandros would not be able to get along in the aristocratic circle.
So as far as Adelan was concerned, old Mograini was not so patient, and after confirming it a few times, he found that the boy was very resolute, so he let him go.
Of course, safety must also come first when traveling, and for this purpose, the elder Mograine arranged for a mid-level 29-year-old young warrior to be Edlan's retinue and bodyguard during this trip, he was a veteran of the human-beast war. And he also picked a pair of leather armor from his family's arsenal that suited his figure, as well as a high-quality longsword worth 160 silver coins!
Edlan is still very grateful for this, after all, it is not that you can immediately buy weapons and equipment suitable for your current physical condition if you have money, only a battle-hardened guy like old Mograini can see at a glance what kind of equipment Adelan needs now.
But when Adelan asked the name of his companion on his journey for the next year, he was not good, because this young man was called Marcus! This gave him a bad premonition, there was a paladin named Marcus in the original work, although this Marcus is still a warrior, but Edlan thinks this product is "a tear-jerking romance novel" The protagonist of the series, the breeder (harmony), because of his rich tastes, his bed (harmony) scene has a wide range of opponents, including humans, forsaken, draenei, blood elves, succubi, goblins, cows, and even men......
Edlan suddenly felt that instead of how to survive in the turmoil of Azeroth, it was better to think about how to protect his immature daisy from threats, hoping that this guy would not wake up to the habits that should not appear so early......
P.S1: Some of the concepts, settings, and skills have been changed to a certain extent.
P.S2: High-quality longsword, tapered greatsword, bulky mallet, basic rifle, balanced battle axe, hard staff, spiked dagger, together form the 7 major "artifacts" of the 60s, gray, the drop rate is OK, and it is good to sell expensive.
P.S3: Marcus, the first gun king in World of Warcraft.
