Chapter 3 The one who takes the money and smashes it is the archbishop
Basilica of the Holy Light in Stratholme!
In the game, this place has been completely desecrated by the Scourge Legion, not only has the top of the church been equipped with a huge gear parallel to the ground and transformed into a Temple of Death, but even this place has been renamed [Slaughter Square].
At this point in time, this is still the most striking place in the city.
The church resembles the spires of Gothic architecture, like spears raised by soldiers to the sky. The main door, which is one floor higher than the square, is accompanied by a trapezoidal staircase of 18 steps, giving the whole church a solemn appearance.
Someone, who even walked the stairs a little empty, walked into the church with the help of Rivinedell and stepped on the blue gold-trimmed carpet on the stairs. Bathed in the sunlight of the pale blue carved glass windows, McDonald said the words of donation seriously.
He not only stunned the godfather and archbishop who baptized him at the birth of the original owner, but also alarmed the system king.
γWarning! Warn! The host is suspected of illegal donation, please provide a sufficient reason within thirty minutes, otherwise the host will be punished! γ
Alonsos also subconsciously refused: "Child of the Light, I know you are rich, but the church cannot ask for your huge donation for no reason. β
McDonald cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"Godfather! Times have changed! β
This sentence, which seemed to say 'I understand you', suddenly blocked the old bishop's words.
"Child, you ......"
"Godfather, I know about the Red Ridge Mountain Church."
"Ahh You got it? As soon as he heard this, Alonsos's face seemed to be ten years old, and the sorrow on his face could no longer be hidden.
McDonalken nodded heavily.
At this point in time, a strange rumor came from the Storm Kingdom in the southern continent of the Eastern Kingdom - a large number of amazingly large green-skinned monsters have invaded the Storm Kingdom.
The Stormwind Kingdom even sent a letter asking for help, but this news was not taken seriously by the other six countries of the Seven Human Kingdoms, after all, humans have snatched the dominance of the world from the hands of trolls, and in the past 2,800 years, humans have never succeeded in exterminating the trolls.
Trolls are active in the mountains and forests of every kingdom, and they attack human towns every year.
The burly orcs described in the Kingdom of Storm are all regarded as trolls by the Six Kingdoms. After all, trolls are creatures that are also more than two meters tall and have similar turquoise skin, but they look a little more slender compared to orcs.
Many nobles even let out a sneer, saying that the dignified Storm Kingdom couldn't even handle the trolls.
Only McDonald knew that Medivan, the Guardian of Azeroth, had been possessed by the Burning Legion boss, the Demon King Sargeras. The giant portal [Dark Gate] connecting the Outlands and the planet Azeroth has been opened, and the army of millions of orcs has crossed the void and entered this world, and is invading the entire human world.
Located in the lakeside town of Red Ridge Mountain, the easternmost part of the Stormwind Kingdom's territory, the Church of the Holy Light there was not spared.
In the face of the menacing orcs, the priest, who had almost no means of fighting, was slaughtered in one face.
When the news came, Fao felt extremely heartbroken.
The most heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching is yet to come.
McDonald, the godson who he was once very familiar with, 'mourning his misfortune and being angry with him', said the biggest worry in his heart: "I'm afraid, the North County Abbey will also be in trouble!" β
The Northrunner Monastery is a gathering place for priests and monks of the Holy Light outside of Stormwind City, where the elite of the Holy Light Church of the entire Stormwind Kingdom are located.
Long ago, in Dalaran, a Lordaeron missionary threw a copper coin into the fountain and made a wish: "I hope that one day I will spread the word of light to the common people and teach them the meaning of the three virtues."
This missionary is none other than Alonsos Fao, now Archbishop of the Holy Light.
He has always been a man of his word and a deed, trying to implement his philosophy.
When he traveled to the mainland, he came to Stormwind City to spread the teachings of the Holy Light, bringing out a large number of disciples and grandchildren. North County Abbey is one of his passions.
After hearing the bad news of the Red Ridge Mountain Church, he actually had a concept in his mind - can he create a new profession that combines the two professions of warrior and priest?
In fact, this is what became the Paladin profession.
At this moment, it's just a rough idea. Because there are many things that are needed to realize this concept, first of all, there must be an imminent need for war, and then there is the support of the nobility.
The Church's control of the armed forces will cause the rulers to be jealous.
Alonsos is a pure man with a heart for good, which does not mean that he does not understand this truth.
Alonsos never expected that someone would send him a pillow because he was sleepy. He found himself unable to refuse a donation from McDonald.
"Child, you ......"
"The matter over there in the Stormwind Kingdom is probably more serious than most people think. Even if it's not serious, it will take a lot of money to rebuild churches in various parts of the Stormwind Kingdom and retrain priests after the war. β
Under normal circumstances, when building a church or something, it is to ask believers to raise donations.
After working as an archbishop for so long, Fao certainly knew that the money of 10,000 commoners was not comparable to the contribution of a great nobleman. What's more, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and McDonalken is both official and in charge.
Alonsos felt that the godson in front of him was a little unfamiliar. In his cognition, this young duke had many of the common problems of the great nobles of Lordaeron - arrogance and lasciviousness.
Originally, he had given up teaching McDonalken.
Who would have thought that McDonald would actually deliver it to the door by itself?
"Well, kid, I'll admit that the church does need some money, but even if I were to consider developing a new class that combines the power of the Light of Warrior and Priest, it won't take that much ......"
"That's 20,000!" McDonald is categorical, with a tone that cannot be said.
These words choked the archbishop on the spot!
Why is this a reverse markup!?
Without waiting for Fao to speak, McDonald said like a machine gun: "Godfather, no matter what you do, I will support you!" Since there is an element of a warrior, then armor costs money, right? Weapons cost money, right? War horses ask for money, right? Is 20,000 enough? Or, 100,000 gold coins!? β
In fact, this has long exceeded the upper limit of the amount of money that Madondon needs to spend, and Madonald has eaten the integrity of the archbishop. The so-called 'losers' are just to spend a little more when they 'land on the ground'.
Alonsos Fao was so frightened that Whitebeard was about to stand up, and it didn't miss the internal injuries of McDonald's arrogance.
But what McDonalken just said was the truth.
The Holy Light Church was poor, and the church was built with donations from believers, and all the money was either used to train pastors or help the poor. How can there be extra funds for paladin's equipment.
What "Silver Scales Breastplate 5 Gold One" sounds like a meme, but in Lordaeron, it's close to real.
About 6 gold coins for a steel helmet, 12 gold coins for armor, 2 gold coins for leggings, 7 gold coins for a steel longsword with a sheath, 2 gold coins for spears and shields, and 12 gold coins for war horses...... A set down, about 50 gold coins.
Note that a sturdy bull is less than 2 gold. At the beginning of the year, 95% of yeoman farmers did not have their own cattle.
For civilians, when converted to the Earth Celestial Empire, the value of a set of fine armor is no different from a house worth a million.
