May 22 of the Dark Gate calendar, Stormwind, morning.

Varian was on state business, and Claudia was staying with Archbishop Fao.

Archbishop Fao arrived in Stormwind yesterday and will spend a week in Stormwind, both to check on the growth of the future king of Lordaeron and to discuss with King Varian.

Varian had hosted Fao last night and had a conversation with him, and this morning, as Varian was on business, Claudia was in charge of receiving him.

Claudia herself is happy to accompany Archbishop Fao, after all, Archbishop Fao has taken the first step to master the law since returning from the Shadow Realm, and now he is one of the top masters of mankind, proficient in the knowledge of the Force of Light and Shadow, and has a lot of knowledge from Fao, Claudia can learn a lot about light and shadow.

Claudia first took Archbishop Fao to meet with Barason Jr. and Angela Jr.

Little Barathan eats and sleeps a lot, and with the blessing of life given by Claudia herself, he naturally grows extremely strong, while his sister Angela is much thinner because of the amount of food, but her health is still fine.

And in the face of Archbishop Fao, the children's behavior is diametrically opposite, little Angela in the arms of the maid did not wait to get close to Fao, so she was 'ignorant' and struggled desperately and cried, even Claudia hugged her arms to comfort her, in desperation, Claudia could only let the maid hold little Angela away first, fortunately, little Barason performed well, as long as the heartless little Barason was full, no matter who hugged him, he would be very well-behaved.

Fao was a little surprised: "He is not afraid of me." ”

"Actually, little Angela isn't afraid of you, Archbishop," Claudia quickly argued, "she's not afraid of that emotion at all, whoever looks good can hold her ......." ”

Speaking of this, Claudia suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly corrected: "No, no, I didn't mean that, I meant ......." ”

"Hahaha," Fao said with a rare laugh and waved his hand, "It's okay, I know what level I look at." ”

"Hmm." Claudia was embarrassed to answer, and Fao hugged Baracen with a loving look on her face, and then stuffed the little Baracen back into the maid's hand, took out a precious ring with a beautiful double-headed eagle pattern from her bosom, handed it to Claudia, and said, "Find a necklace to put on, and bring it to little Baracen." ”

Claudia took the gemstone ring, looked at it for a moment, and exclaimed, "This is ......." ”

Fao said what Claudia had never said: "You read that right, this is the Seal of Lordaeron, the proof of Lordaeron's royal power, and the most precious treasure of the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

"But it's a little too early, Barathan isn't even a year old."

"Not sooner, I've already told King Varian about this, and you'll soon understand my intentions for giving him the Mark of Lordaeron," Fao said mysteriously, "You wear the ring around his neck with a necklace now, and then after I cast a spell blessing, the ring will be completely his." ”

"Thank you, Archbishop." Claudia heard that Varian had agreed and agreed, so she agreed, and then she asked the maid to bring one of her own Mithril necklaces, and after putting the ring on with the necklace, Claudia personally put on the necklace for little Baracen, but little Barathan didn't know the preciousness of this ring, and directly pulled the ring to taste what it tasted like in his mouth, Claudia hurriedly reached out to stop it, but saw Fao laughing: "Don't worry, after my blessing, this ring will not hurt him." ”

"That's the Mark of Lordaeron." Claudia looked at the ring distressedly, this thing was a treasure at the level of the heirloom jade seal or the Heshi Bi in her previous life, and now the child has no teeth, so it is better to say, in case the teeth are long, the national treasure will not be taken by the child to grind his teeth.

Claudia's crankiness did not last long, and soon her attention was diverted, and she saw that Archbishop Fao had begun to pray, at first he was only softly whispering, but soon when his tone began to rise, everyone heard a beautiful and powerful carol, and his body began to glow from the inside out, and this light became stronger and stronger, but it was tightly condensed and bound not far from Fao's side, making his body appear holy even though he was obviously an undead.

The surrounding maids all knelt on the ground reverently, and Claudia noticed far more than the maids, she could feel that the power condensed by the brilliance around Fao was so majestic, this magnitude of holy light was so powerful that Claudia, a heroic paladin, could not control it, and more importantly, this light power was not drawn from Azeroth at all, but the divine source outside the void forcibly tore the void and sent divine energy in response to Fao's call, the kind that belonged to the divine law.

Fao's spell casting has come to an end, and the light around him has all condensed into his palm, and finally out of Fao's palm, passing through the Lordaeron Seal and hitting Barathanon's body, endless brilliant light runes swirl around Baracen and Claudia holding Barathen, and finally the runes dim one by one, and a connection was created between Lordaeron's Seal and Barathen.

After this spell ended, Fao naturally consumed a lot, and even the soul fire in her eyes was obviously weakened a lot, but Claudia, who didn't contribute at all, was even more unbearable, she covered her eyes and almost fell to her knees at once, and said in a weak voice: "Liz, come and help me." ”

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The maid Liz hurriedly ran over to help Claudia, Claudia struggled to stand up straight and handed Barathan to her, and ordered: "I'm fine, you hold His Highness and wait by the side, and the others will stand down for the time being." ”

The maids retreated, and Liz stepped aside with Barathen, listening to the strange words between Claudia and Fao.

Fao looked at Claudia in amazement and said, "Did you hear it, or did you see it?" ”

"Testimonial...... Indenture...... Guarding ......," Claudia covered her eyes with her hands, recalling the scene just now, her heart was confused, and she wondered, "What is that, what is that in that light outside the void, is that the holy light?" How could it be...... How can it be so ......? ”

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I don't think you can see it," Fao said apologetically, "It's not the Light, the Light is never a specific life, it's just a light life outside the void, it's a truly powerful light life, an existence of the same level as the true master of Saratas, so powerful that it can't even set foot in the material realm." ”

"It's not your fault, it's that I took the initiative to look at it with the Analytical Eye of the Book of Order," Claudia removed her hand, her face already looked much better, but she continued with her eyes closed, "But it's obviously a pure light life, but why does it behave completely different from the canon, so indifferent, so high-minded, so ......." ”

"Yes, there are parts of the canon that are wrong, and the Light has never been obligated to help everyone," Fao interrupted Claudia indifferently, "but it doesn't really matter what the Light means, what matters is the warmth, love, hope, and courage that the Light can bring to us. ”

Claudia closed her eyes and was silent, and after a long time she sighed and said, "Maybe you're right, Archbishop. ”

Fao nodded, and Claudia closed her eyes and gave instructions to Liz: "Let the others come in and wait first, and then order them to go down and send them two bottles of super-grade spiritual recovery potions in my name, and let Everena bring the silver hand." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liz said in a trembling voice, and Claudia noticed Liz's panic, and added: "Today's conversation between me and the archbishop is not to be revealed to anyone other than Varian. ”

"I know the consequences, Your Majesty." Liz nodded hurriedly, what kind of joke, the Holy Light Sect could have fallacies, and it was better for a little person like her to forget about it.

The maids quickly entered, serving Claudia, who couldn't open her eyes, and soon the medicine was delivered first, Claudia was much better after drinking the medicine, and then Evelyna held the silver hand and sent it to Claudia, Claudia held the silver hand in her right hand, and after two silver flashes, Claudia was able to open her repaired eyes, of course, she was naturally educated by the silver hand during this reckless behavior, and about the powerful existence outside the sky, the silver hand is still saying:

"No matter what happens outside the material realm, inside the material realm anyway, the Titan has never met an opponent since its birth."

However, even if there was this kind of accident that made everyone around him panic, Little Barrath still took care of himself and played with the ring (gnawed) very happily, this ring was more like becoming a part of Little Barathen's body, and it would not hurt each other, and Fa'o's spell with so much strength was naturally not just as simple as binding the seal of Lordaeron for Little Barathen, this spell also had various functions such as protection, blessing, and increasing potential.

……

Two days later, the good news of the recovery of Keldaron and the bad news of the fall of the Hand of Tyr reached Stormwind at about the same time.

After reading the list of the dead, Claudia sighed and said, "I didn't expect so many brothers and sisters to die in the hand of Tyr, I hope the missing sister Bridget can survive." ”

Varian comforted Claudia, "According to the surviving soldiers, Bridget's light never appeared during the battle that day, and she should have left or not been there. ”

"I hope so." Claudia looked at the north worriedly, even though it was a talented Northern Holy Light Church, there were only a few female paladins, so they all had a good relationship with each other, and she really hoped that Bridget would be safe.

Opposite Varian and Claudia, Fao, who learned the news, was silent for a long time, feeling guilty and guilty.

Although Da Sohan, Esenlien and others were exiled by order of Fao and Mograini, it was only a forced decision at the time, and neither Fao nor Mograini had any ill intentions, on the one hand, they wanted to give an account to the forsaken, and on the other hand, Fao had made it clear before they exiled Esenlien and others: "The door to return will always be open to you at any time, and as long as you can realize your mistake, you can return to the Great Abbey and the Valley of the Hearth at any time." ”

"Inninogo Montor."

Fao whispered the traitor's name, and after a long time he stood up and said goodbye to Varian and Claudia: "Such a big thing has happened, I have to say goodbye in advance and return to the Grand Abbey immediately." ”

"In that case, I can't afford to keep it," Varian said, "and I'll keep what we've agreed to do as promised." ”

"That's not in a hurry." Fao nodded, said goodbye to Claudia, and left Stormwind.
