"Holy Covenant?"

Locke subconsciously took the pendant that used the tiny silver beads as a rope and strung them together as a necklace. The pendant is in the shape of a circle the size of a bottle cap, carved from an unknown piece of metal, and people imagine the appearance of holy light—light like the sun shining.

"Is this a holy deed?" Locke looked over and over the deed in his hand, and the pendant continued to glow with soft golden light, warming his palm.

Shouldn't the Holy Pact be the book that the paladins straddle across their waists? How did it become a small object in pieces? Besides, I hadn't heard of such a thing in my previous life, did I?

"This is indeed a sacred deed," Demetia reaffirmed the identity of the necklace, and she continued to explain when she saw that Locke did not believe it, "I have seen the documentation of the Church of the Light in the abbey cathedral. Once upon a time, when the paladins were just being formed, Archbishop Fao prepared five holy deeds for the five first paladins. Each pact represents a core quality of the Silver Hand Paladin. ”

"Punishment, sanctity, protection, justice and mercy."

"Tulayan received the Sacred Covenant of Protection, Uther received the Covenant of Justice, Tirio received the Sacred Covenant of Punishment, Saidan received the Sacred Covenant, and Gavinrad received the Sacred Covenant of Mercy."

"And this pendant in your hand is the sacred deed in the hands of Lord Dassault Khan." Demitian paused, allowing Locke to look at her with a puzzled gaze before continuing, "The Covenant of Justice and the Covenant of Mercy have disappeared from this land with the death of their master, or they may have been buried beside those two adults, and they will sleep with them. The Pact of Protection disappeared with Lord Tulayan outside the Dark Gate outside the Watch Keep, and the Pact of Punishment in your hand and the Pact of Punishment in Mistress Tirio's hand are the only two Sacred Pacts left here. ”

"They—" Locke looked at the pendant in his hand over and over again, "what kind of purpose do they have?" ”

"Archbishop Fao asked the holders of the deed to use their actions to manifest the true meaning of the deed."

Looking at Demyteah's calm smile, Locke estimated that she hadn't figured it out either. Locke was sure that she had been exploring this thing for a long time, probably since Banazal's death until now.

"Holy Covenant..."Locke pondered the meaning of this sentence, should he really let me be a milkman? Or is it about devotion? Isn't the meaning of the word sacred, sacred, equal to inviolability and dedication?

"It doesn't react to the hands of us clergy, maybe it's the Paladin that brings out what it contains." Demetia smiled at Locke and said, "Take it, there's no one better here than you." ”

After touching it for a while, seeing that Demetia had a posture that he would leave without it, Locke sighed and put the necklace and ornament that shone silver on his neck, unfastened his clothes, and tucked the pendant into his clothes.

He had never played a milk ride in his previous life as a paladin, but now he is good, but he has to be a milk rider when he crosses into this world...

As a high magic world, if Archbishop Fao can be regarded as a very important thing to the first five paladins, then the existence of this kind of thing must have its value. Locke had to maliciously think that maybe it would increase the healing effect of his Holy Light power? He even wanted to find someone to try at this moment, after this pendant was put on, would it really speed up their injury recovery effect?

"My lord, Wizard Gates sent someone to say that the portal is ready."

The report of the guards allowed Locke to dispel this pointless move. He first found Kalia, who was in the Iva City Hall Square, accompanied by the Church of the Light, and distributed food to the poor, before leading the guards into the wizarding quarter.

If he is crowned at this time, then in his absence, Kalia will be responsible for the running of the kingdom along with the Prime Minister. Speaking to Kalia also means this. Of course, his subordinates have long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of matters without him.

Entering the wizarding quarter with Demytia without stopping too much and not appreciating the changes along the way, Locke, led by Gates, was guided all the way to the portal of Eva's solidification.

This time, Olivia, as the archwizard who stayed behind in Eva, could not leave, and although Goblin Gates was reluctant to have his research interrupted, he had no opinion on Locke's summoning. He will lead some of Eva's wizards to the Mill Town of Tirisfarin, and find a way to close the Scourge Legion portal there as Locke has requested.

The portal, glowing with green ripple energy, was neatly fixed to the wide door frame. Locke didn't rush into the portal, he looked around at the empty cavities with no energy. These are all of Eva's, and the portals to each region of Lordaeron have been solidified by wizards.

Their existence allowed Locke to strengthen his control over various regions. Although it is not possible to pass through large forces, a small number of troops of several dozen people is still not a big problem. If necessary, as long as the input energy here is activated, the remaining wizards over there will find that the energy of the portal is abnormal, and they will take the initiative to open the door on that side, and only in this way can the two sides teleport to each other.

Due to the amount of energy consumed by these portals, they are closed when they are not necessary. Small and convenient portals like the ones that wizards open on their own are usually limited to wizards themselves, and sometimes they are unstable...

When Locke stepped into the portal of green energy that was immersed in the air again, the ubiquitous whisper sounded in his ears again. It was as if countless people were watching him, whispering, and this time Locke didn't close his eyes.

He saw himself in a world of countless colorful lines, his body flying towards the hole in the distance at an extremely high speed. I don't know if it's because of the visuals or the lack of references, he doesn't feel like he's moving, it's the colorful lines that are moving. It was their constant running behind them that brought them closer and closer to the hole.

He also discovered that the whispering was not his hallucination. They are supposed to be real, but the scope of their existence is to wrap themselves in these colorful lines around the outside world.

It's probably the void in the space node, right?

Locke glanced at the outside world a few times... Obviously, nothing could be seen, and the high-speed moving lines were like a thin rainbow, forming a colorful barrier that obscured everything outside.

Before Locke could figure it out, he was pushed out of it and stood firmly on the ground on this side.

"Gates, what's beyond that colored barrier inside the portal?"

"Ethereal spirits, void walkers, monsters in the void..."Gates said a few casual words, and then he suddenly frowned and turned his head, "Lord Harvey, didn't you close your eyes just now?" ”

Locke shook his head, and although the wizard told everyone to close their eyes when teleporting so as not to hurt their heads, Locke didn't do that. On the contrary, he didn't feel anything uncomfortable, and he saw things he hadn't seen before.

"It's dangerous to do this, Lord Harvey, and the teleportation of the space node is dangerous for ordinary people." Gates blinked his eyes and looked Locke up and down, "Because your brains can't take in what you see during the teleportation, the colored lines..."

"Forget it, you don't understand Master Harvey, but it's okay if you can adapt to those things, which means it doesn't hurt you. Then don't make a fuss, let's go and see the situation on the top of the mountain. ”

Locke was disappointed by the topic that Gates stopped, but Gates didn't continue, and Locke stopped insisting on it, anyway, he could count the number of times he took the portal on his fingers.

But this guy's nerves are really big, and I don't check this kind of thing that seems to be harmless... Locke grumbled inwardly and walked out of the teleportation room surrounded by a group of guards.

The soldiers of the Vigilant Legion stationed in this manor had already brought a dozen horses from the stables. At this time, Locke could also hear a slight explosion and roar coming from the top of the mountain.

Since this matter was decided to come down to take a look at this matter on the fly, no one came to greet him in a hurry. Locke didn't care, he turned over an old horse, and under the guidance of the soldiers, he set out for the top of the hill with a group of wizards and the prosecutors brought by Demytia.

※※※

The mill town of the Agamande family is now in ruins.

Bombs from the sky and artillery shells from the ground devastated the town. Everywhere there are the ruins of collapsed houses and buildings. But even so, the depths of the town are stubbornly popping up with bands of Scourge soldiers.

"Is there still a portal hidden in the graveyard of the Agamande family?" Claire rubbed her chin and looked at the battle map on the table, which clearly marked the location of each house in the town.

There are many circles in the town, and many of them are marked with red ×, and there are a few places in the distance that are painted with red circles, which are not marked with an X.

"This map is a map that our scouts have redrawn from the map of the former Mill Town." Durand leaned against the pillar with his hands folded, watching the goblins in the distance busily deploy explosives and reload mechanical artifacts in the camp.

"Several portals near the outside of town have been blown up, but if there is a portal hidden inside the tomb, there is no way for the goblins to break in. In fact, this possibility becomes more and more likely as the goblin battle line advances. ”

"It doesn't matter, the town hall is already under our control." Claire put away the map on the table and put it in his pocket, he looked at Durand with a smile and said, "Lord Harvey just needs to make sure the city hall is in good condition, nothing else." Even if the goblins blow up the graveyard of the Agamander family, I don't have any problem with that. ”
