Chapter 13: The Church
After Marshal Garethus, Lordaeron's last hope, was defeated by Sylvanas, the Queen of Darkness, General Abidis gathered the remnants and united with the Silver Hand to lead a large number of refugees into the Far Mountains.
The mountain road to Yuanshan County was very dangerous and difficult to defend, and they converted this monastery in Yuanshan County into a fortress and temporarily gained a foothold.
After returning from the Dwarven Kingdom with the Holy Sword, the Ashbringer Alexander Mograine gave hope to the desperate people, and under his leadership, the survivors not only largely cleared the northeastern Tyrisfal Glades, but also opened a passage to the Western Plaguelands and made contact with the Valley of the Hearth.
The Valley of the Hearth is also a treacherous terrain, the only human territory in the Western Plaguelands that has not been breached by the Scourge, and its lord, Tyran Fordin, is also a paladin with the Silver Hand, so it is natural for the two sides to form allies.
Thus was formed the Far Mountain-Hearthvale Front, a small council of five respected leaders who decided all the affairs of this front, namely:
The Ash Bringer, the High Lord Alexander Mograini, the head of the Knights of the Ash Judgment of the Silver Hand's sub-group, is the head of the living human race in Lordaeron in terms of both personal force and military prowess, and the legend of this man and the holy sword in his hand are already a legend.
Scarlet Light - Saidan Dassohan, the head of the Scarlet Light Knights, a branch of the Silver Hand, is one of the five original paladins, and after the death of the Silver Hand Grand Master Uther the Lightbringer and the deputy head Gavin Rad, he is the oldest and highest rank in the Knights.
The Grand General, Alfred Abydis, inherited the legacy of Field Marshal Garitsus, the Northern Maple Legion, and had the largest army in the monastery and the strongest overall combat effectiveness.
Grand Inquisitor Ethan Lean, the Light Mentor of the High Lord of the Hearthvale, Tyran Fordin, who was raised almost single-handedly, is the spokesperson for the forces of the Hearthvale in the council, and also serves as the head priest.
Marxwell Tyrosos, Baron of the Kingdom, head of the Silver Dawn Knights, a branch of the Silver Hand, has been stationed on the border of the northern province of Lordaeron, guarding against the threat of the trolls of the Zumashar Forest, and has not suffered much damage during the outbreak of the plague of natural disasters, and is the best-preserved unit of the Silver Hand formation, and one of the strongest forces stationed in the monastery.
Gordon's father had worked with Tyrossos, so he had always taken good care of him.
A few days ago, there was a sudden battle report that the Hand of Tyr in the Eastern Plague Land had not yet been broken by the undead and was facing the siege of the Scourge Legion, and the Council of Five immediately made a decision: rescue operations must be taken.
Although the Hand of Tyr is not as large as the city of Stratholme, it has always been a symbol of wealth and prosperity in the Eastern Plaguelands, and the human power to resist natural disasters can be strengthened to protect her.
Alexander, Dasohan, and Abydis each led their elite men to the aid of Tyr overnight, leaving Tyrossos and Ethanlien in the Far Mountain Monastery.
Along the way, with Gordon's explanation, Unas learned this information, which is not the same as the plot he understood in the game, but based on what he has seen and heard since he crossed over, it is still slightly different from the game, and it is acceptable to think about it.
The two of them had already dismounted and entered the city gate, and came to the center of the monastery through the long staircase of Yongdao, which was not known how many times larger than in the game, heavily guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and soldiers in military uniforms and weapons in their hands everywhere.
A young white-robed female priest walked up to the two of them, made a gesture of please, and said, "Two of you, please." ”
Gordon paused for a moment, the priestess was not pointing in the direction of the court, he happily patted Unas on the shoulder, and whispered to him, "It seems that the problem can be solved without going to the court." ”
"yes, where are we going now?" Unas didn't dare to rejoice too soon.
"Look in the direction of the cathedral."
The two followed the priestess through a heavy iron gate, and then walked through a few dark corridors, and suddenly their eyes opened up.
The bright sunlight dispelled the gloom in Unas's heart, this copy he had been to many times in the game, but he had never found it so beautiful.
In the center of the church garden is a pool of water that spews out of the mouth of the carp statue, intertwining with the sunlight and in front of it is a small artificial waterfall with two lifelike lion statues guarding the waterfall.
Beside the staircase leading to the garden on the next level, several huge stone statues of samurai stood on several stone pillars, standing with their swords in their hands, looking down on the beings with a majestic aura.
The white marble church was more than ten times more majestic than in the game, and it was full of priests in robes and bareheaded monks, and the three of them did not disturb the worshippers of the Holy Light who were praying and worshipping in the church, and walked straight into the side hall next to the cathedral.
The priestess who led the way led the two to the door of a room, bowed and left, and Gordon took the lead and pushed the door open.
The room was small and decorated as a small conference room, where Tairossos was chatting and laughing with an old man with a white beard, and on the other side sat a balding middle-aged man in a purple robe, while Darien and Whitemane sat quietly.
As soon as Unas entered the door, he saw Whitemayne, whose dazzling silver hair made it difficult not to pay attention, and he was so sexy and charming in his clothes.
Whitemane looked back at him angrily, and immediately turned his head away.
Unas was bored, and followed Gordon to salute the people present.
The white-haired old man with kind eyebrows is naturally the Grand Inspector Ethan Lien, and the bald middle-aged man in the purple robe is the dean of the Mage Academy, Master Duan, and in the game he is a small boss who has been grassed countless times by Unas's large hunter.
Speaking of an interesting fact, one player fished a silver coin in the fountain pool of Dalaran with a text on it:
"Oh, Abydis, why don't you ever look at me more? I would like to follow you to the ends of the earth, only in the hope that you will perceive my heart. - Arcane Duane. ”
This passage becomes ironclad evidence that Duane has a crush on Abydis, but whether he has a crush on Alfred Abydis or his daughter Bridget Abydis has always been a mystery.
But no matter who it is, this bald uncle is destined to fall out of love, and Abydis's father and daughter will not waste time on romance and love.
I don't know what to call this master for on such an occasion?
Unas didn't have time to think about it, all eyes were on him.
Esenlien cleared his throat and said to Unas gently, "You are Unas-Raugad, and as they described, you are very strange. ”
The appearance of the unas yellow race is indeed very striking among a bunch of Caucasians.
At this time, the Mediterranean mage Duane stood up, he raised the black staff in his hand, the sky blue cone gem inlaid with the head of the staff was aimed at Unas, he stared into Unas's eyes and said: "It's rude, a small detection spell, don't be nervous, it's over soon." ”
Unas is not afraid of any detection spells at all, except for smashing the glass window of his neighbor's house when he was a child, he has never done anything bad, he is innocent, and he is not afraid of crooked shadows.
Blue waves of light descended on him, and it felt cool and cool, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Duane completed the spell, closed his eyes and meditated for a few seconds, then opened his eyes and announced the result: "I can be 100% sure that he is a human." ”
Esenlien bowed slightly, and asked, "Does this Unas warrior have the blood of another race?" ”
Duane shook his head: "I'm not sure. ”
Ethan Lien's questioning eyes turned to Unas, who hurriedly said: "Although I have amnesia, my own body knows best, and it is absolutely pure human. ”
Esenlien looked into Unas's eyes, paused for a moment, and continued to ask, "According to the report of Knight Joseph Gordon and your claims, you are a Holy Favor and can use the legendary resurrection technique?" ”
"Yes, just last night I used the resurrection technique to revive Gordon."
"There is no basis for words!" The silver-haired chick finally couldn't help but speak, "I don't believe that a shameless person like you can become a saint at all!" If you really know how to use resurrection, prove it to us! ”
"You can't kill someone now and let me prove it to you," Unas said, "As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”
"You ......" Whitemayne was short of words for a while, he didn't expect Unas to be so shameless, so he could only glare angrily.
At this time, Gordon also stepped forward and said: "I can prove for him that every word of my report is true." ”
Tairosos, who had been sitting next to him silently, suddenly interjected: "Can you two swear?" ”
"Of course!" Unas and Gordon spoke in unison.
So the two swore one after another, of course, Unas did not know much about the format of the oath, except for the name, which completely copied Gordon's oath.
Ethan Lien lightly covered his chin and white beard, and muttered, "I can feel the sincerity of the oath of the two of you, and the hero's heroic performance in the Whispering Garden quarantine area today has also convinced me, and I choose to believe you." ”
His voice could not hear joy or sorrow: "Holy Light, a Holy Being, I seem to be able to see your extraordinary path ahead. ”
"But Your Excellency the Grand Attorney ......" Whitemayne couldn't sit still.
Ethan Lien raised his hand to signal her to be at ease, and he stood up from his seat: "Now I might as well tell you that Knight Joseph Gordon has brought back very important information this time, there is a new military operation soon, don't waste your time here, I declare that this matter is over, may the Holy Light be with us." ”
"May the Light be with us." Everyone except Unas repeated in a low voice.
Ethan Lien sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea, the meaning of sending off the guest was obvious.
Whitemayne hurriedly saluted, and rushed out of the room in a fit of rage, bringing a gust of incense, and followed with Darion the fart with a wry smile.
As for the Holy Favor, the resurrection technique, or something, the two adults didn't seem to believe it very much, and they didn't ask much.
Gordon and the others also exited the conference room, and Unas let out a long breath of relief.
This time, thanks to Tyrosos, he passed the test with a casual oath, and without his support, it is estimated that he would have been locked up in a small dark room full of torture instruments.
"Coo-goo", as soon as he relaxed, his stomach began to rebel, and he asked Gordon with a bitter face: "Is there a restaurant here?" I haven't eaten in a day. ”
"You're still in quarantine, go back to the Whispering Garden, I don't want you to get caught again," Gordon replied, "I still have some business to attend to, and I'll bring food to you later." ”
It seemed that his stomach was going to endure any longer, so Gordon sent him to the center, patted him on the shoulder, and left.
