When the news first leaked, Locke stopped the Security Service investigation. He thinks Fairbanks did it because he had a reason to do it, and because it was his responsibility to do it.

As he said to himself, he wanted to ensure the lineage of the Minahir family, which he promised Princess Kalia. When he saw that he had been slow to contact the princess, and that there was no other thing he should do, he would definitely have an idea.

The old priest, who didn't know enough about himself, might have worried that he would be bad for Princess Kalia. Come to think of it, if he told himself about it, it was tantamount to putting Princess Kalia's life in his own hands, and if he had two hearts, the princess's life would not be guaranteed. The most powerful thing to do at this moment is to spread the news that the princess is still alive. In that way, those who are loyal to the Minahir family will try to find out about the princess, and in this way, they will unite with others to support the princess as queen when the princess comes forward.

If the princess dies before this, then whether she did it or not, she will be made a murderer. This group of people will naturally oppose them, and their reputation will be completely ruined in Lordaeron and the entire human kingdom. All the people under his command may not be able to accept a lord who killed the heir of the previous royal family, and other human kingdoms will also regard themselves as thieves, and the end is self-evident.

On the other hand, there is another meaning for this news to be disseminated. Farbanks' responsibility is to inherit the Minahir family, so naturally the above things will not happen, and it is very likely that there are other arrangements.

His subconscious meaning should be that if Locke doesn't approve of this, then I'll take the princess out of Lordaeron and go to other kingdoms, such as the Stormwind Kingdom, etc. Varian Wryon owes a debt to the Minethil family, and he will definitely support Kalia, and you Locke will still be the target of his crusade.

Locke's ideal is to let Lordaeron rise, but rising does not mean that he can play alone, and the future must be to get out of Lordaeron and play at the same table with others. That way to prove whether Lordaeron really stood up, if others don't admit it, you're a red-named monster, not even a yellow-named, so what's the point of playing? Rise of what?

That's what Locke has been thinking about lately.

But Demytia's words just now suddenly made him realize something in his heart.

His intention was not to be a king, in fact, it was not a matter of being a king. When Fairbanks spoke of the conditions for being king, he was indeed very tempted at the time, and the taste of power Locke had already enjoyed, and it could not be denied that it was indeed tempting. But after calming down, Locke felt that this matter was actually dispensable, strictly speaking, the appearance of the princess was more like a shackle, locking herself firmly to the royal family of Lordaeron!

He is now integrating the power of the Crusaders, and now that Iva is the dominant family, anyone with a discerning eye can see where Lordaeron belongs.

At this juncture, the appearance of the princess is very strange.

From Fairbanks finding the princess to reporting himself, this is probably what he just thought and what the people behind the scenes wanted.

This idea that came out of the air overturned all of Locke's thoughts a few days ago. Locke suddenly realized that the people who knew that the princess was still alive in Iva did not include them!

The man who told Fairbanks that he! Ignore it yourself! If nothing else, he is planning all this.

What Fairbanks told himself that day may have been what he really thought, but the person behind him didn't necessarily think so.

Locke was a little anxious for a while, and now that Fairbanks was sent out by him on a mission, it was impossible for him to ask. So far, he is not ready to meet the princess, but if he does not make contact, he may not know what the news about the princess will be next time.

Demitia had left the pulpit, and she was walking around the empty cathedral looking at the portraits and statues hanging on the walls, presumably to make room for Locke to think about the problems he faced.

However, at this time, the squire brought the preparatory paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand who were training in the training ground.

The first batch of Reserve Knights of the Silver Hand had less than 300 reserve knights, except for some children of nobles, most of them were excellent non-commissioned officers and low-level officers in the Fifth Legion, as well as soldiers from other legions who came to Iva to study and train before the Crusaders were divided.

Now, a few years later, some have left and some have stayed, and there are only about two hundred probationary paladins still training in Eva.

Looking at the reserve knights of the Silver Hand Knights, Locke was still a little excited. From them, he saw the apprehension and excitement when he first joined the Silver Hand, his vision for the future, and the affirmation of his knowledge.

Unlike Locke, who is a wild man, this group of Silver Hand Reserve Knights is trained in strict accordance with the requirements of the Silver Hand in the past. Not only did they learn how to perceive the Light, but they also learned a great deal of training in commanding armies and personal skills. Of course, these have been modified by Locke. However, Locke does not modify the code of conduct of the paladins, he modifies the knowledge content of the learning.

Locke made it clear that even if he couldn't perceive the Holy Light, as long as he insisted on training until he graduated, he could join the Silver Hand, but in another capacity. The Knights of the Silver Hand are not the only paladins. Those who are unable to perceive and retain the Light will become members of the Silver Hand and take on a variety of tasks. After all, if you can graduate from the academy of the Silver Hand Knights, you must have your own strength.

In this aspect of the light, Locke made a modification, and it was not at the end of the course that it was infused by other clergy. In the daily process of comprehending the Holy Light, each Preparatory Knight will be infused with a small cloud of Holy Light energy, and if he can retain this Holy Light and continue to grow and develop, it means that he has the potential to become a Paladin. In this way, as long as they continue to communicate with the Holy Light every day, then when they graduate, they will naturally be a paladin.

On the other hand, at the end of the course, there will be other paladins who will perform the final infusion of the Holy Light, and if you can't keep the Holy Light, you can only become an ordinary Silver Hand Knight.

The difference between a knight and a paladin is not the same. If you become a paladin, even if you step into the aristocratic class, you will also receive the title of knight. Even when he entered the army, he started as a lieutenant. If it's just a knight, then you can only become a non-commissioned officer first-class.

More than two hundred preparatory paladins were nothing to the empty space of the cathedral, and they didn't even fill the middle space. At this moment they lined up in a neat line, waiting without saying a word to stand on the pulpit and their head of the group to speak.

It wasn't until the last of the Knights of the Holy Reserve entered the cathedral that Locke had nothing to do with the Silver Hand retreated. Then Locke beckoned Demytea to stand in front of him, and then he spoke to the pre-paladins below.

"The Silver Hand's... Preparation... Paladins! Allow me to say so! Because you have not yet passed the last cruel test! Not a true paladin yet! Looking at the silent eyes below, Locke calmed down and continued, "You are all people who can perceive the Light and use it for your own use. Your minds and minds have grown tremendously over the past few years, and now only one last hurdle lies ahead of you! As long as you can get past this hurdle! You are the true paladins! An enviable paladin with a silver hand! A lord who is the envy of all civilians! ”

"I didn't want to say that here, and this test wasn't supposed to be for you. Because in the past history, there has never been such a test! But if you don't witness the fears, you don't know how you're growing! ”

"Maybe you're lucky, or maybe you're unlucky." Locke shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Maybe the next batch of preparatory paladins who are going to graduate will not have such treatment." If so, you're still lucky! Because you've caught up with this opportunity. ”

Locke paused, and none of the neatly prepared paladins standing below moved, they were like nails. Only those constant blinking eyes proved that they were listening carefully to Locke.

"Maybe you're wondering what I'm talking about right now. All I can say is that I'm sorry I can't tell you so I don't leak the news. In the same way, after stepping out of the doors of the cathedral for a while, you must not move around at will, but you will carry out your final test under the leadership of the great sage Lady Demithea. ”

Demytia smiled at the pre-paladins below.

"Bring your own armor and shields, and you need to rely on your faith and the support of your teammates to face this fear that will never be forgotten by you!"

At this moment, someone below raised his arm in the air.

Locke nodded, and the female cadet shouted, "Captain Harvey, are we going to miss the reorganization of our crusaders?" ”

Locke fixed his eyes, that female student he seemed to know? If you look closely, it seems to be Nina, a female sergeant who used to be from the First Regiment of the Hearth Valley. However, what is rare is that when most of the others are warrant officers, she is already a lieutenant. This shows that she has done well in the Preparatory Knights, and that her training instructors recognize her.

"Lieutenant Nina, I think so, you're going to miss this ceremony." Locke nodded, undeniable.

"It's a pity," Nina smacked her lips, and then she looked at Locke with confident eyes and said, "Can't we go ahead and solve this problem?" We all want to be a part of this ceremony! Participate as a paladin! ”

"Hehe," Locke and Demitea looked at each other, and they both laughed.

"You need not be sorry for this, in fact, when you have successfully passed this test, you will be glorified for it for the rest of your life!"
