Ethan Lien, a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand! The current Attorney General of the Crusaders! The logistics managers of the Crusaders! The Crusaders and the entire Lordaeron Thought Guide!

The bearer of the title, who made the crusade so that everyone would be in awe, now stood in front of Locke.

"Hah! Locke, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Well, growing taller again? Ethan Leon looked at Locke with delight, and was very happy about Locke's appearance.

Now that the High Lord Mograini had also been killed, there were fewer and fewer people he knew and identified with himself. This makes Ethan Lien sad at the same time, but also cherishes the people around him even more.

As the son of his old friend and comrade-in-arms, Locke could never forget that intimacy.

"Yes, Uncle Esenlien, we haven't seen each other in a long time. You've changed too......" Locke's smile was a little reluctant, Ethan Lien had changed too much.

Before Locke left the Silverpine Forest for Quel'Thalas, Ethan Lion was a strong, middle-aged man, and he now looks....

His originally straight body stiffened, and the smooth wrinkles on his face began to appear on the side of his face one by one. Around their mouths, thick black and white whiskers clash around them. As if he hadn't rested well, his eyes sank deeply. The originally thick black hair also turned half-white.

The whole person seems to be nearly twenty years old......

The only thing that hasn't changed is his unforgettable eyes! Locke could see in his eyes the joy of meeting his loved ones, but he also saw things he didn't want to see.....

Crazy!

During the time he was talking, he had to talk for a long time with the prosecutor who came to report on the screening, even if it was late at night...... In addition, the prosecutors' doubts will be interpreted on the spot.

Since he did not avoid himself, Locke also heard his interpretations of various cases, which to Locke sounded mostly extremely crazy......

Now, Locke can be sure of one thing.

As a result of his long-term contact with Banazal, Ethanlien has been unwittingly corrupted by him. What he did has changed dramatically from what he did before!

It's not just physiognomy, it's reflected in many things!

For example, just now, when Locke talked to him about the results of this trip to Quel'Thalas. Ethan Lion directly overturned the decision he had made before!

He vetoed an alliance with the elves, which Locke understands. It's impossible to say that he doesn't accept any elf soldiers, this is what he personally nodded and approved!!

Moreover, he seems to have easily accepted the fact that the Grand Lord Mograini had died, and was very favorable with the results of the investigation of the First Legionnaires!

And the only thing that hasn't changed is taking care of himself, which makes Locke's heart ache!!

"Really?" Ethan Lion touched the thick beard on his chin and said with some embarrassment, "During the time you are not in the country, I am so busy that I can only eat one meal a day, so busy that I don't have time to shave every day. ”

Ethan Leon spread his hands helplessly, "My squire is an undead spy, I think you should know. It was frustrating that as a devout believer in the Light, I didn't even notice it. ”

"Fortunately, the Grand Commander is here, otherwise I don't know when he would be lurking." Ethan Lion shook his head in fear.

"Oh, did Shiloh report to you the results of her screening?" Ethanlian suddenly raised his head, his gaze instantly sharpened, he stared at Locke and said, "For these people who turn their backs on the Holy Light, Locke, you can't have any mercy!" The fact that they can betray us out of fear proves that his faith in the Light is not pure! The existence of such a person is undoubtedly very dangerous for us crusaders!

"We, the Crusaders, have a great mission today! These scum must not be allowed to ruin everything we have earned with our blood! ”

"I'm ......" Locke opened his mouth, not knowing how to say what he thought to Ethan Lien. Obviously, it's not the right time to say what you know.

"You have to keep it in mind!" Ethan Lion strode up to Locke, and said solemnly, "Since the defeat of Marshal Garrissus, we have the last strength that Lordaeron can muster!" Once we fail, there's no chance to do it all over again! Lordaeron will sink on this! We Lordaerons can only wander around in this huge land, living a life of discrimination!! ”

"We can't afford to lose!! So! It must be punished severely! Must ......"

Looking at Ethan Lion in front of him, who was in a state of excitement, Locke blocked his initial thoughts in time. There is no need to do that.

Ethan Lion will be corroded so quickly, perhaps it has a lot to do with the worry in his heart. After all, he is the ideological leader of this huge army, and the pressure he bears is undoubtedly enormous. I'm afraid he's dreaming of how he can restore this kingdom to its former glory.

Of course, pressure is the driving force for progress, and the right amount of pressure will not have a negative impact. But when the pressure is high enough to exceed the carrying capacity of the parties, then it will become a huge burden! This will cause a huge psychological pressure on the person concerned, who will suffer from gains and losses, and worry that he will not be able to handle it well. Any wind and grass may ignite this huge pressure, and the consequences of this are undoubtedly very terrible.

Banazal, as a master of playing with the negativity of living things, may have discovered this and designed such a trap and placed it next to Ethanlien.

So when Ethan Lien, who had a huge burden on his body, saw with his own eyes that the squire he trusted turned out to be an undead spy. His devout belief in the Light and his compromise with pressure caused him to panic undeservedly, and his original devout belief in the Light became a loophole.....

This panic and loophole was quickly exploited by Banazal, who persuaded Ethanlien to begin a screening of the Crusaders for the undead, in order to ensure that the Crusaders were more pure, and that the Crusaders could take on the burden of reviving Lordaeron in the future.

In fact, as the thought guide of the Crusaders. Without his approval, Banazal would not have thought of carrying out this operation within the Crusaders.

But the attendants around him are the spies of the undead, and there is no doubt that the impact on Ethanlien's thoughts is too great. For believers in the Light, this is undoubtedly a test to subvert their own faith! The fact that the undead black magic can sneak into them unknowingly shows that the Holy Light is not as powerful as the black magic.....

If this idea is accepted, then the faith in the Light will be shattered, and it is not impossible for the believer to turn into the shadows.

There is another case, and Ethan Lion belongs to this case. As the de facto Bishop of the Light during this period of Lordaeron, he was also able to represent the incarnation of the Light. The presence of an undead spy around him would make him feel that his faith was not pure enough, so he did not notice the invasion of undead magic! He will be even more devout and fanatical in giving everything he has to the Light!

In this case, when Dassault Khan, who was bent down by the demon, proposed to screen out the undead spies, Ethan Lien agreed without hesitation.

At this time, his mind may be filled with devotion to the Light and hatred of all suspected undead spies!

So when Banazal corrupted his mind, this frenzy was easily exploited by Banazal......

Eventually, after the bloody storm of the Crusaders, the more people were found out over time, the more paranoid Ethanlien became! You may even feel that your decision was an extremely wise decision!!

And this state of affairs of Ethan Lien is very common among all the fanatics, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Crazy belief because of confusion, loss of basic reason because of madness, bewitchment because of loss of reason, and finally lost his own life, leading the crusaders he cared for into the abyss......

Alas.......

With a long sigh in his heart, Ethan Lion in front of him had actually fallen into paranoia and couldn't extricate himself, and Locke didn't know how to deal with this situation.

And tomorrow morning, the meeting on the future of the Crusaders will be held, and he has everything ready. At that time, he will definitely not hesitate to oppose himself and stop himself! Even if he came up with all the evidence that Dassault Khan was a demon, he wouldn't believe it.

He has gone too far on the road of paranoia and will not easily trust others, not even himself.

"Uncle Ethanlien, if nothing else," Locke rose from his chair, and he interrupted Ethanlien, "I'll leave first, and I won't disturb your rest." ”

"It's been too long since you've had a good rest." Looking at Ethan Leon's emaciated face, Locke looked down at his instep and said, "You are our spiritual leader, you need to guide us in the right direction......

"Ha, kid, I'm still strong!" Ethan Lien laughed and raised his arm in a muscle-baring motion.

Then, he smiled and stepped forward to pat Locke on the shoulder, "Go back and rest, you must be tired this day." I won't keep you, I'm still a little busy....."

Locke followed Ethan Lien's gaze, and there were already several prosecutors waiting outside the door....

Out of the cathedral in Hearthvale, Locke turned his head to look at the majestic building again, and he turned to Anderson, who was standing in the shadows.

"High Lord, High Prosecutor Lady Demitiana, has been waiting for you in our abode for a long time."

Locke pulled himself together and asked Anderson, "How long has she been here?" ”

"I've already sent someone to inform her when we just arrived here."
