Chapter 17: Traitors and Lords

The archbishop's fanatical worshipper was named Masif, a fisherman by profession, who was rescued by Benedictas because he accidentally fell into the water, and became a fanatical follower of the archbishop.

In the face of Anduin's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but think of the words of the previous church pastor, and his words were full of indignation to defend the Light, but there was no second pastor in the scene except Anduin, and at this moment, Masheif was suddenly able to look at the turmoil with a sober eye, the cause was completely a misunderstanding caused by lack of communication, and the pastors in the church played the role of fanning the flames.

However, recalling the archbishop's holy gesture, Masif refused to believe that his men would do dishonorable things, but in the face of Anduin's calm gaze, he could not bear to grit his teeth and refuse.

In hesitation, the bishop worshipper next to him pushed him and asked, "What are you rubbing?" We are staunch followers of the Light, how can we listen to His rhetoric? ”

The man looked excited and did not control his voice, and was immediately glared at by the rest of the townspeople: "If the Earl is talking about rhetoric, then you will tell me the real reason for the transformation of the manor!" ”

"Because he will turn his back on the light!"

The man's eyes were full of hatred, and he angrily pointed at Anduin: "I will never accept a blasphemer of the Holy Light to be my lord!" ”

"Enough!"

Mathef roared, grabbing his hair and making a decision with great difficulty, and said to Anduin, "Lord Count, please leave me a place at the Winter Veil. ”

"Please leave me one too!"

"Yes, Lord Earl, we all want to taste the novelty you said!"

Masif's words drew a lot of echoes, and the heavy atmosphere of saber rattling was swept away, and seeing the eager appearance of the townspeople, Anduin smiled happily, a qualified lord would never abuse force, he preferred to speak with facts. The townspeople got rid of the temptation, and immediately brought the two sides closer, and coincidentally helped to transport the timber, and when they arrived at the gate of the manor, many people volunteered to help with the transformation.

Anduin did not refuse the kindness of these people, because the amount of work required to renovate the manor was too large, and although the craftsmen of the building society were all skilled craftsmen, some of the uncomplicated but time-consuming tasks were more suitable for the townspeople to participate in.

Suddenly, the Earl's Manor became more and more prosperous, which made the renovation progress rise to a new level.

Benedictas stood in the dark and towering church, looking at the manor from afar, and saw the faces of the craftsmen and townspeople full of joy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "It turns out that I misunderstood you, and it is no wonder, after all, it is the person chosen by Lazarez, if I say a few words, it will be too bad." ”

The archbishop's gaze shifted to Anduin's face: "Anduin, you say that you are in favor of being created equal, I don't agree, because some people are born mediocre, like those townspeople, the only value of existence in the world is to pay labor, and no matter how humble you are, you can't change the fact that you are a nobleman." We are born unequal, this is the iron law set when everything is chaotic!

"It seems that you don't have the trites of a noble priest, but you are full of unrealistic naivety." The archbishop slowly turned his back to the light-lit manor, his voice echoing in the darkness, "As a precursor of the Light, I need to tell you how cruel this world is. ”

……

After nightfall, when the Earl's Manor was no longer in full swing, Anduin sat by the fireplace, quietly reminiscing about the trouble, and several faces, including Ma'sif, were all fanatical followers of the archbishop.

This incident made him more aware that Benedictas's influence on Stormwind Town had reached the point where the townspeople would unite against his lord regardless of life and death. He thinks that he must test the archbishop's reality again, and he has not found any clues when he visits during the day, so he can always find something by sneaking in at night, right?

When the houses around the town were gone, Anduin took the Grand Knight and quietly went to a secret entrance to the manor, and it was through this passage that Sonia was able to enter the manor without realizing it.

"Anduin, Benedictas's strength is unfathomable, this operation, let me go alone." The Grand Knight Eddard was already known as a friend to Anduin, and he stood at the entrance, dressed in a night coat, to persuade Anduin to be dressed in the same way.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go, Stormwind is my hometown, and even if I can't help you fight, at least I can take you around all the sentry posts." Anduin smiled slightly, "We are all created equal, you can't leave me alone, right?" ”

The great knight Ed shook his head with a wry smile, an inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, and his favorability with Anduin reached a critical point, generating a six-fee blue card [Master Spear Knight].

Anduin was happy in his heart, he hadn't released his psychic vision to Ed for the past two days, just to get this card as soon as possible, but unfortunately, this card had no special effect, and it wasn't enough to hold on to a battle, but fortunately, Anduin quietly released the psychic world that had made some gains, and it was actually the [All Born Equal] he just mentioned.

"Anduin, if you weren't a priest, you would be a knight better than me!" Ed sighed sincerely, "To be honest, before this, I had not been able to identify with the knightly creed of all born equal, but hearing your generous statement today made me instantly understand its true meaning, we are all members of Stormwind Town, and there is no reason not to contribute together." ”

Hearing this, Anduin smiled even more, he didn't expect his declaration to have this effect, and the number of cards in the library reached forty-seven, and the [Prince Varana] at hand was connected, so only two cards were left to get the exchange mechanism, if it went well, tomorrow to release a round of spiritual vision to the remaining eight knights, you can achieve the fourth stage of the card task, I just hope that there will be no more duplicate cards.

He now has a full five duplicate cards in his hand, all of which come from nine Papal Knights, including three skill cards of [Desperate Fight], [Divine Power], and [Blessing of Strength], as well as two follower cards [Knights of Stormtown].

It is worth mentioning that the original name of these two basic follower cards was [Stormwind Knight], and a certain system insisted on changing it.

[If you have an opinion, just say it, why borrow someone else's mouth? 】

"What nerves? Do I have any comments? ”

Anduin shook his head in confusion, and immediately took the big knight Ed to drill into the mouth, and after climbing half the distance, he was already tired and panting, the passage was narrow and crowded, and he didn't want to go through it a second time after climbing, and he didn't know how Sonia survived for so many years.

Shaking his head, Anduin gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, the great knight Ed behind him did not say anything, he couldn't complain about anything, the exit of the passage was located in the depths of the forest farm, whether it was rushing along the mountain forest to the Silver Fortress, or entering the dwarf kingdom adjacent to the border, it was very hidden.

Considering that they had spent too much time in the passage, the two of them immediately descended the mountain, sneaking into a section of gnome territory to avoid the forest sentry and then circumvent a large circle from the multi-nation Bay Corridor to the location of Stormwind.

The Church of the Storm is located on the outskirts of the town, right in the direction of the orc tribe, and the two of them only need to avoid a secret guard that is responsible for guarding against the incoming orc attack, and they can drive straight to the church of the storm.

However, an unexpected circumstance disrupted Anduin's plan, he and Ed quietly observed the situation at the sentry, but found that there was no one to guard, the two walked in and took a look, and couldn't help but glance at each other, two of the three guards who were supposed to be guarding here were brutally killed, and the remaining one was missing.

The experienced Ed glanced at it and made a judgment: "There are no signs of a fight, these two people deserve to be attacked from behind, Anduin ......"

"I see."

A cold light flashed in Anduin's eyes, and he immediately rushed to Stormwind Town with Eddard, the deceased still had residual warmth, and the murderer would definitely not be able to run far, sure enough, the two of them followed the trajectory near the sentry post over a low hill, and found the target on the coast not far away, a human and a group of orcs.

The only human was the missing third sentry guard, who had been present at Anduin when he was on patrol, but who was now walking with the orcs, pointing at Stormwind with a grumpy expression that he couldn't make out what was being said.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was directly knocked down by a punch from a burly orc, and his body was planted on the beach and struggled twice, and then there was no more movement, and the orc roared at his corpse a few times, and wandered forward with the rest of the orcs.

The great knight Ed had a guess in his heart, and his face was a little ugly: "If you can understand the orc language, the cause of death of the two guards can probably be determined." ”

Anduin's eyes were a little cold, and he said lightly: "What that orc said was 'I can kill whoever I want, and it's not your turn to command!'" ’”

Hearing this, Ed's eyes widened and he couldn't speak, he didn't expect Anduin to know the orc language, and finally confirmed his judgment, this sentry guard was a traitor who was in the company of the orcs.

"In order to help the orcs pass, he killed two of his companions, but he was killed by the orcs, although he deserved it, but I still have to avenge him, I am the lord of Stormwind Town, he is my people, and it is not the turn of these orcs to judge for me!"

Anduin's eyes were on the corpses of the humans who had been struck by the sea, and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Ed, the Light teaches you that I am kind, but the enemy is worthy only to face the cruelty of the Light."

"Yes, my Earl." Great Knight Ed clenched his weapon suddenly, "Punish Great Knight Ed, ready for revenge!" ”
