Chapter 17: Light and Shadow

Jon Mills opened his eyes, and the pre-existing illusion around him had long since vanished, leaving only the voice still echoing in his head: "Upgraded to Level 5 Shadow Priest!" ”

Qualified?

Jon himself couldn't help but be a little surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoSince the age of ten, when he decided to learn the Way of Shadow with Natalie, this is the first time that he has been promoted so easily.

The head was slightly itchy, and I only felt that the membrane that had been blocking the top of my head was quietly broken through. Then, the spiritual power in his mind only felt endless, almost incomprehensible...... According to conservative estimates, the amount of mana he can control now is at least twice as much as before.

Sure enough, it was promoted!

When was the last time you made the cut? It was almost two years ago, and when I was promoted, I felt as if I was going to be completely torn apart by the shadow power in my body, which was so sour!

Although in the past two years, he has been feeling the power of the shadow as much as possible every day, and he has been secretly practicing spiritual spells every day avoiding others...... However, this promotion is still much easier than expected!

Sure enough, the dream about Bridget suddenly brought the desire for power in his heart to the peak, and at the same time completely suppressed the fear in his heart, and this promotion was so natural.

"Jon!" Natalie's call rang in her ears.

"Old witch, I feel that the power of the shadow in my body is growing!" Jon said truthfully.

Natalie nodded, her face full of relief: "I feel it!" ”

As a shadow mage who was much higher in rank than Jon, he could cleanse the surging shadow energy that suddenly appeared in Jon's body.

At the same time, she could feel Jon Mills' efforts, since the young Jon begged him to teach him the way of shadows seven years ago, he had hardly slackened a day, and he worked extremely hard almost every day.

Sometimes she wondered if it would be a wise choice to let Alice's son fall into the Shadow Path, just like herself!

……

Natalie Selene, Bishop of Lordaeron and leader of the Forgotten Shadows.

As a young woman, she studied under Alonthos Fao, Archbishop of Stratholme Cathedral in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and met her best friend in Stratholm, Alice.

She had thought that she would be a lifelong friend of Alice, and when she learned that Alice was married, married to a rude warrior in Stormwind, she was very, very sad at the time, and even devoted all her energy to the study of the Light.

However, disaster struck, and Alice died, along with her husband, at the hands of the orcs, leaving behind a five-year-old child.

She took the child from Anduin's hands with an eternal gloomy face, took it to her own home, and raised it herself......

She had prayed to the Light why a godly man like Alice would not bless her in the last moments of her life.

But the Light did not answer.

Natalie decides to find out on her own, entrusts her neighbors with the care of Jon, and joins the Anduin-Lothar coalition to avenge Alice herself.

In the hands of one of the tribe's powerful warlocks who wielded dark magic, she was given a gray crystal, and then felt like she had vaguely found her answer.

She discovers a whole new power, the opposite of the Light, Shadow!

After the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, she used this power to kill more than a dozen orc warlocks with her own hands.

When she returned to Lordaeron, she informed her teacher of the source of this power, and to her surprise, she was acknowledged by her teacher. With the support of her teacher, she founded the Shadow of Oblivion and began to preach to the people, preaching that the whole world is balanced, because with the Light there is also a corresponding Shadow.

……

However, Alice's child offered to learn shadow spells from her, much to her surprise.

Her friend Lancaster had told her that young Jon had inherited the same gifts as his mother, and that he had a great affinity for the Light...... She had thought that Jon would be like Alice, become a good priest, and even join the Silver Hand to become a paladin!

She chose to refuse at first, and in her opinion, people who fell into the path of darkness like her were destined not to be accepted by this world, and were destined to be disgusted.

But Jon's persistence impressed her, and she began teaching Jon the power of the Shadow.

Once again, Jon also showed great talent for shadow spells, many of which he could learn with considerable ease.

At the same time, she discovers a shocking secret, Jon can use the power of the Shadow while using the Light.

It was completely beyond her comprehension, and she repeatedly warned Jon not to tell anyone the secret. At the same time, in order to hide people's eyes, Jon was handed over to Lancaster, ostensibly learning the way of light from Lancaster, but in fact secretly learning the way of shadows every day.

In this magical capital, Lordaeron is not yet accepted by ordinary people, let alone the Shadow Priest. In order to protect Jon, she hides what Jon really is, and even the members of the Forgotten Shadows do not know that Jon Mills is a Shadow Priest.

……

"Your talent is outstanding, even beyond my imagination!" Natalie said very seriously.

"I didn't expect you to compliment me, old witch!" Jon smiled wryly.

"Because I was really scared by you!" A rare sincere smile appeared on the corner of Natalie's mouth: "I'm afraid it won't be long before your control of the shadows surpasses mine!" ”

Jon smiled faintly, in fact, he knew very well that the gap between him and Natalie was still far away, and Natalie's understanding of shadows was completely beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"It seems that little girl, she really has a great influence on you?" I heard Natalie say slowly.

Jon's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a panic, "Natalie, can you see my dreams!" ”

You must know that the most secret in your heart cannot be known to anyone, not even Natalie Céline!

Fortunately, Natalie shook her head.

"Of course not!" She replied indifferently, "I don't have enough control over shadow spells. What's the matter, you care so much about the secret you and that little girl have only seen? ”

Jon breathed a sigh of relief and smiled wryly.

"Do you want to keep practicing?" He asked.

Using mental whipping to trap oneself in fear, but being careful not to hurt oneself can effectively improve mental strength, which is what Jon and Natalie have learned over the years.

"No need, you're a little tired today, let's go rest first!"

"Could it be that you are actually kind, old witch!" Jon glanced at his godmother in surprise, and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

"Old witch, with my current ability, can I kill a paladin with a silver hand?" He asked very seriously.

Natalie didn't seem to be at all disrespectful to Jon's words: "The members of the Silver Hand are also divided into many grades, such as Uther's level, or knight apprentices who have just entered!" ”

"A paladin like the Prince of Arthas?"

"Huh!" Natalie sneered: "This is impossible, the Holy Light of the Paladin itself has a high restraint effect on us, not to mention a knight like the Prince of Arthas who has undergone countless blessings, so Jon, you can't hurt him, unless ......"

"Unless?"

"Unless you can completely disturb his mind in advance, there will be a slight possibility!" Natalie Serene replied truthfully.

"Okay, good night, old witch!" Jon nodded and went back to his room.

Two shadow spells appeared in front of me:

Shadow Form and Mind Control (Level 5).
