Early that morning, after saying goodbye to Masrae and Van Gore, Diego left the town of Shining Gold and set out for the Northshire Abbey. Because there were patrolling guards passing by from time to time on this road, there were no accidents along the way. Probably because there were two fewer passengers, the carriage moved quickly, and by late evening the carriage had finally arrived in North County.

The exterior wall of the North County Monastery is protected by a double wall, and it looks like a place where war is always prepared. The walls are made of heavy marble and stone blocks, which is very strong.

The wall is grand and elegant, and the roof is covered with a circle of brown tiles, which looks very beautiful. In addition to the lion reliefs and small trees as carvings on the interior walls, a closer look can also reveal that the walls are covered with ivy.

When they arrived at the monastery, they saw more than thirty Paladins lined up, trained by Vice-Captain Verry, who was dressed in blue and white standard armor, but none of the ornately equipped newcomers dared to despise him. Diego noticed that these were the same people they had met at the outer walls of the North County, and that the battle had taken a heavy toll on them, with a reduction of nearly two-fifths.

However, these newcomers don't know that the culprit who caused such heavy casualties to themselves is this human hunter. Their expressions were stern, and they trained meticulously, and after seeing the blood, their attitude towards training was really different from before, and it seemed that that the battle gave them a very deep experience.

The monastery is not large and looks like a mixture of Gothic and Byzantine architectural styles. And it wasn't just monks and trained newcomers, but also traders who were good at seizing business opportunities and carrying their caravans around the monastery. Offering services to the monks and newcomers. Most of them sell daily necessities such as clothing, alcohol, food, and sometimes armor and weapons. But most of these things are not as sophisticated as military equipment, but they are cheaper. I use it for training and make up for it. Among these merchants were skilled craftsmen who could repair damaged weapons or armor.

Today is not the day of worship, and there are not many people in the monastery. After giving some tips and sending the coachman away, Diego walked straight through the gate with Kanhaifa. Upon entering, they saw an officer wearing Stormwind's standard armor. Diego immediately recognized him as Marc Brad, the sheriff, in fact, during the encounter at the edge of the woods that day. Diego had already seen him, but at this time, Diego still had to pretend to explain his intentions.

When he showed a printed Boval? When the Duke of Vortagen's coat of arms was recommended, Macbrad's attitude immediately changed, and to be honest, as a veteran of two orc wars, he was very familiar with the regent's family coat of arms.

"Please follow me." He said, then turned and walked back into the main hall.

The main hall is a circular dome-like building with small colored marble tiles on the floor. The walls are decorated with blue silk friezes, and the skylights of the dome depict beautiful silver-leaved grass patterns. Sunlight pours in through the skylight, adding a touch of holiness to the small main hall.

They were led by Mark Brad. Go up the stairs behind the main hall to the third floor. It was a small room, and most of it was occupied by a pulpit in the middle of the house. In addition to that, there is some rudimentary furniture and a bookshelf full of scripture texts. The room was a little dark. Even during the day, two light stands are lit with butter candles.

Brother Niels was a middle-aged priest in his fifties. He wore a moon-white priest's robe with blue trim and stripes, and looked very gentle. When he saw them coming, the monk opened his mouth to say a message from the Light: Whoever follows the will of the Light is my brother, my sister, my family. ”

He walked up and cordially gave a priestly salute: "My brother, I can feel the power of the Light in you, and it seems that you are also a child of his favor." ”

"Praise the Light." Diego humbly replied, bowing, and handing the letter of recommendation out with both hands. "I'm Diego? Asnar, from Stormwind, please take a look at this letter first. ”

"Who wrote this letter?" The monk was a little puzzled, he took the letterhead, leaned under the butter candle and looked at it, and at a glance he saw that the envelope belonged to Boval? Signature of the Duke of Vortagen.

"A letter of recommendation from His Excellency the Duke of Berval, who wants me to train with you for a while." Diego said.

Brother Nils nodded, brushed off the wax from the letter, and pulled out the parchment to read it. After a while, he looked up from the letterhead.

"It can be seen that His Excellency the Duke has a lot of appreciation for you." The monk smiled and said, "In his letter, he gave you a very high opinion of your gifts and the grace bestowed on you by the Light, and hoped that you would go further. ”

"I am very grateful for the appreciation of His Excellency the Duke." Diego is sincerely grateful, and he is always grateful to those who really help him.

"A genius is a lifelong worker, but if he is arrogant in heart, stubborn in spirit, or even rebellious, he will be taken away from his grace and taken away from his glory!" Brother Niels admonished in a meaningful prayer that he had seen many such gifted young men, but to his grief that there were many who had given up halfway and had been reduced to mediocrity, and that he did not want the same to be the case with him.

He didn't say anything more, but walked over to the window and tugged at a ring on the side of the wall, which Diego guessed was a call bell or something.

His guess proved to be correct, for a few moments later, with the unbearable creaking of the stairs being trampled on, a strong human walked in.

"As a priest who aspires to serve the Light, I'm afraid I can't teach you anything, but Brother Samuel can," Brother Niels introduced Diego, "and he's our best Paladin Mentor, having taught over a hundred Paladins. ”

"In the name of the Light!" Brother Samuel said humbly, the expression on his face looking very gentle, in contrast to his rugged face.

He was dressed in silver-white half-body armor, with a dark brown complexion and a strong physique. Holding a one-handed warhammer that shimmered with silver light, it looked like a typical paladin. Diego could feel the energy that came from the Light in him.

Samuel apparently felt this energy from him as well, much to his surprise. Because Diego is completely dressed as a hunter.

"What can I do for you, Brother Nils?" He walked up to the priest and asked directly, he was the kind of person who was more straightforward and didn't like to beat around the bush.

"That's right, this Diego brother has received the favor of the Light, but he still needs some training in the paladin, and I think that's what you have to do." Brother Niels explained.

"So you have the approval of the Light. But not trained as a paladin? Samuel looked at Diego in surprise and said, to be honest, he had never encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help but glance out the window at the new Ding who was running in line. These recruits are the exact opposite of the person in front of them, they have been trained by the Paladins a lot, but they have not yet been baptized by the Holy Light. In fact, for a paladin, the latter is the most important, many are well trained. Trainees who are fully capable of becoming disciples will never be able to pass the test of the Holy Light, and will never be able to advance an inch again throughout their lives. If they knew about the hunters, they would be envious and kill themselves. Oh, and they're more likely to choose to beat Diego to death.

"You're absolutely right...... Diego said with a wry smile helplessly, even though the power of the Holy Light in his body was as abundant as the sea. But he couldn't perform even the lowest level of magic and didn't know how to fight like a true paladin.

"If so. It's not a big problem, I just need to train you like a Paladin Apprentice. Samuel thought for a moment. Said.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, Brother Samuel." Hearing Samuel's words, Brother Nils said with satisfaction.

After saluting the priest and saying goodbye, Samuel turned and looked at Diego.

"Please come with me, Brother Diego."

Along the way, Brother Samuel kept introducing Diego to the historic church. It can be seen that this monastery has an extremely sacred status in his mind.

"You can call me Samuel, and in the coming days, I will be your Light Mentor and serve as your combat instructor, and your formal training will begin tomorrow, because your training plan must be done tonight, so it looks like I'm going to waste a night's time."

"Thank you very much and salute for your selfless help." Diego hurriedly thanked Samuel, out of Earth's habit, and took out a bottle of eggnog from his bag, "I think this might help you." ”

This wine was bought in Stormwind some time ago, and it was only sold during the Winter Veil Festival, and it was a good thing to refresh your mind. Samuel did not refuse, because the Cultists of the Light did not prohibit drinking, they only opposed it.

"You're welcome, as a thank you, I'll be thinking about your training plan tonight, I hope you enjoy it." He said meaningfully.

After saying that, Samuel stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, pointed to a row of very rough wooden houses, and said, "Your residence is here, please come with me." ”

Before he knew it, Diego had found himself at the stable behind the convent, a row of wooden houses built on the side of the stable, which looked like it had not been built long ago, and some of the bark on the wood was still wet. What's more, the smell here isn't good, and it's messy, but it's good that at least it's not in a stable.

Samuel led Diego to the door of one of the rooms and said, "This house is yours to use, and given your special status, you can enjoy the treatment of a single room." ”

Diego was a little flattered, but he immediately understood that this was normal, and that all the recruits who had been baptized by the Holy Light could enjoy it.

"Good night." He finally said goodbye to Diego at the door, then turned to leave.

Diego turned and pushed the door open and entered, the room was small but neatly furnished, with a bed, a cupboard, a table and a chair, and against the wall, there was a shelf for armor and weapons, and that was all the furniture in the room.

After a night of excitement and anticipation, Diego finally knew what he was up against.

While he was still asleep in a daze, his door was slammed open. Two shirtless men rushed in from outside the room and dragged him out of bed. Before he could come to his senses, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. All right. He is completely awake now.

"Hell, what's going on? Did the orcs call? Diego shouted in horror. But no one answered him, and the two big men drove him out of the room, beating and kicking.

He only had time to pull a pair of pants off the table before he was dragged outside the barracks. There was already a line of young people standing there. Diego found himself not the only one shirtless, as almost no one wore a shirt, but the men were much more relaxed than his wolf bèi. However, Diego is not a complete rookie, at least the strong muscles and bulk, and the scars on his body are not to be underestimated.

"Running with weights, destination, North County Outer Wall. Ten miles to go, ten miles back! Under the eaves by the stables, someone shouted.

Diego looked over as he put on his pants. Brother Samuel was found sitting in a chair, looking at him with a smirk. Well, he finally knew the meaning of the monk's mysterious smile last night, and it seemed that the mentor had no intention of treating him favorably.

However, Diego never thought of asking for any preferential treatment, he was here to train, not to be an uncle. So he immediately followed the line in obedience. Run outside. But after a few steps, he had to stop, for he found that he was a little different from the others—most of them carried a large rattan basket with heavy stuff inside. He was the only one empty-handed.

"Yours are here, Diego." Just then, he heard Brother Samuel speak. He turned his head and saw a rattan basket at the monk's feet.

He strode over. I saw a full set of Stormwind standard armor and helmets in the basket. Half-length cuirass, shoulder pads, knight's belt, steel leggings, iron boots, and iron gloves, in addition to a one-handed sword and a shield. The weight is definitely over eighty pounds.

Diego looked straight at the flowers, but he still obediently picked up the rattan basket and ran in the direction of the outer wall of the northern county, his teammates had already pulled him down a long way.

Fortunately, his fitness was about the best, if not the best, because he was the third in the team to come back, and it was still a few minutes behind the start. It seems that from the wetlands to Stormwind, all the way, not to mention anything else, Diego's two legs are definitely super capable of running now.

Breakfast was a few pieces of Stormwind cheese and a large lamb chop, and a glass of juice, which was nutritious enough. After breakfast, there is a training session on weapons, some people choose a combination of sword and shield or hammer shield, and some choose a long weapon such as a two-handed sword or a two-handed hammer. However, Diego estimated that he would never need a shield in his life, and he chose a broad-bladed spear, because he found that he was very talented in using long-handled weapons.

Throughout the morning's training session, Samuel taught him very well, and Diego got along well with his teammates - how could it be bad to follow the teachings of the Holy Light and aspire to be a paladin, temperament and conduct?

In the afternoon, Brother Samuel would take them to the north to practice on the Echo Mountain, but to be honest, the wolves and kobolds there were indeed very small for Diego, but to be honest, fighting with pure melee weapons instead of the rifles he was used to brought him a different feeling.

In the evenings, the students generally listen to Brother Nils talk about the teachings of the Light, the nature of the Light, and the connection between faith and the Light. Sometimes, he will also tell the stories of famous paladins, such as the legends of heroes such as Tulayan and Uther, to inspire these soon-to-be paladins. Diego felt that he had never heard such an interesting class, and he felt that the courses he had taken in college, such as "Advanced Mathematics", were simply scummy compared to this.

As the days went by, Diego was tired and fulfilled, and every day when he lay in bed, he felt like a piece of.

In the midst of these very fulfilling days, the most important festival of the year in Azeroth is approaching. In fact, the festival kicked off before he left Stormwind. The festival lasts for 16 days from the middle of December to the first day of the new year. (To be continued......)
