At the end of the day, Gordon would always sit alone in the dark lobby with half a glass of wine, looking out of the Silver Hotel, the street illuminated by the lamps of the Holy Light, seeking solace in his soul. As a well-known chef, Gordon has an incomprehensible anxiety that can only be achieved through alcohol.

At this time, a footstep sounded behind him, and Gordon, who was already familiar with the other party, knew that it was the owner of the Silver Hotel, Gerald, when he heard the sound.

"Why hasn't Martin come back yet?"

Gerald, who asked questions, was also holding a fine wine, but his expression was diametrically opposed to Gordon's, Gordon didn't answer, but keenly heard a hidden smile, and asked inexplicably, "Have you done the wedding banquet?" ”

"Of course!"

Gerald raised his head, drank the wine, wiped the corners of his mouth quite arrogantly, and said with a calm smile: "I asked the Minister of Parliament to make an appointment with the future princess's husband and wife to go hunting in the suburbs together, during which they talked very happily, and he agreed to the purpose I put forward euphemistically, I have to say that Presto is a real gentleman, and his personal charm is even I have to surrender to him, if he was not a warrior but a knight, I think His Majesty the Prince would not have fiercely opposed it." ”

Hearing this, Gordon also drank the wine, relieved and relieved, these days there have been two mountains pressing on his heart, the first is the innovation of dishes, as the dust settles on the new collision of the royal court, Gordon has gradually lost inspiration, at this time he is eager to seek a new direction of development, otherwise he can only rely on aimless recipe experiments.

This second seat is, of course, the famous Earl of Anduin and his Hearthstone Inn.

Yes, with the popularity of Earl Steak, even the name of Anduin has become loud in Silver Fortress, especially the old Frye, who became the official supplier of the Hearthstone Hotel, has put up a sign for Anduin, so that the name of the Hearthstone Hotel will not be mentioned in public.

But despite this, the multi-day journey is still prohibitive, and in the minds of the vast majority of residents, the Silver Hotel and the Hearthstone Hotel are not much different, if not surpassed, after all, there are many people who can speak the truth, but very few who turn theories into reality.

However, both the elder Frye, Gordon and Gerard knew that what the Hearthstone Inn lacked was just an opportunity, and the most important opportunity at the moment was the princess's wedding reception, so the elder Frye introduced Anduin to the Prince of Alsace, and Gerald got closer to Prestola.

Gordon put down his glass, enjoying the alcohol numbing his taste buds, the feeling of drunkenness coming to his mind, suddenly inspiration burst out, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "I think I have found the best dish for the princess's wedding banquet, and it only takes a little trying." ”

As he spoke, Gordon looked regretful: "If only Martin were here, he could help me bring my inspiration to life." ”

"Let's forget Martin for a moment! He must have been held back by something. Gerald waved his hand, "I'll send someone to find you a helper, Gordon, how far this engagement banquet can get us Silver Hotel depends on your performance." ”

Gordon nodded heavily, his eyes determined.

……

Two days later, near noon, four fast horses hurried to the Silver Barrier.

This was the first time Anduin had observed this magnificent city with great care, which made the Blackstone Orcs gnash their teeth, and in his communication with the chief's son, he heard another name for the silver barrier - the Wall of Sighs, which came from the blackstone chieftain who was in his prime decades ago, and with all his might, he could not break through the strong defense line set up by Terenus, so he only sighed and turned around, and returned defeated.

The appearance of the silver barrier, as its name suggests, is like a silver cast, looking from a distance, the orthodox people feel indestructible, in fact, the reason for this situation is that during the construction process, many priests participated, setting up countless prohibitions for the silver barrier, so that the hardness of this wall is comparable to ordinary steel, every year the fortress Holy See will send people to repair the prohibition, today happened to let Anduin and others touch it.

Sigh Rhythm ......

The horse neighed, and slowly stopped, and a gate guard saw Jones, and hurriedly ran over, explaining: "President Jones, it's really a bit unfortunate, during the renovation period, the gate is impassable, but the project has come to an end, and it will be done soon, and I will trouble you, wait a while." ”

In the Silver Fortress, Jones is known for being a good talker, and he has relationships at almost all levels, so ordinary people are unwilling to offend him, seeing the guard's sincere attitude, Jones nodded so that he could return to his post with peace of mind, and then swept his eyes, looked at someone from afar, and introduced Anduin: "The one over there is Archbishop Alex who is in charge of the church, and since he took office, in addition to leading the worship of believers, presiding over the promotion of priests, he has led the work of prohibiting repairs every year, but ...... Hehe. ”

Jones sneered, Anduin heard the meaning, it seemed that he was not very optimistic about this Archbishop Alex, Anduin waited patiently for a while, and realized why Jones was like this, the reason was that these priests in charge of repairs were too perfunctory, and the damage ban was repaired to seventy percent at most, and the five bans had to be skipped over two, although they all seemed to be diligent, but the quality of the work, they did not dare to compliment.

"Why is this happening?" Anduin was a little puzzled, "The silver barrier is an important line of defense, how can it be such a child's play?" ”

Jones sighed lightly, and replied to Niracek on the side: "Count Anduin, do you know, every year the royal palace and the Holy See will quarrel over the repair funds of the silver barrier, and not only the external quarrel, but also the internal quarrel, the year before I joined the Explorers Association, I happened to see Archbishop Kidd and Archbishop Alex, because of the financial problem, almost in front of the Pope, a big fight. ”

"In the early years, it was okay, the orc Yu Wei was still there, and no one dared to fight the idea of this batch of funds."

Jones took over the conversation: "Later, the Blackstone Orcs were entrenched at the foot of the Blackstone Mountain, and there was no major attack, so some ministers proposed to appropriately reduce expenses, at first Prince Terenus did not agree, and then every year, the voice of the petition became more and more, and the weight became heavier and heavier, His Majesty the Prince had to consider it, and finally agreed with the Pope, which was released, and then it was out of control, and this year, no one knew how much money was used to repair the silver barrier, and how much money flowed into whose pocket, Looking at the current appearance, I am afraid that there are not many of the former, and the latter is indispensable. ”

Anduin frowned: "If this was the case a few years ago, then it's okay to say, why did it come to the juncture of the handover of the Blackstone Chieftain, and the fortress didn't plan to be vigilant?" Even if the old lord and Orgrim secretly agreed, they should not be taken lightly, after all, if the Destroyer wants to rekindle his ambitions before he dies, even Orgrim cannot stop it. ”

At this time, Anduin didn't know that because the old lord mentioned the factor of expanding Stormwind Town, some ministers of parliament used this as an excuse to cut the cost of repairing the fortress again, and at the same time, Archbishop Alex, who had completed the renovation work, also noticed a few of them, and took the initiative to step forward and said to Anduin warmly: "I have seen the incarnation of the Holy Light. ”

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling man, Anduin raised his eyebrows and saluted back: "I've seen Archbishop Alex." ”

"I've heard of the prestige of the Holy Light Incarnation for a long time, and if it weren't for the trivial matters, I would have rushed to Stormwind Town to pay homage."

For some reason, the attitude of the Archbishop Alex was so respectful that he lost his identity, which made Anduin feel extremely strange, and he shook his head lightly, regaining his modesty: "The archbishop is serious, I am just an ordinary official priest, and I can't afford to be the incarnation of the Holy Light. ”

"If there is any official priest who can learn the Holy Fire, then he can also become the embodiment of the Light."

There are not many people in the upper echelons of the fortress today who do not know Anduin's identity and the various transcendences he has displayed, and almost no one questions his title of the incarnation of the Holy Light, but instead sees him as a rising star of the Holy See.

Arthas intended Anduin to be his right-hand man, not to follow him for advice, of course, but to get a position in the fortress of the Holy See, and finally when he took over the throne, Anduin would be in a high position, if not the Pope, so that he would be free from the constraints of the Holy See during the administrative period.

At the same time, Alex also had the same idea, but he wanted to win over Anduin and fight against Archbishop Kidd together.

Who told the whole Holy See that Anduin and Kidd were incompatible?
