After the luncheon, the leaders left the palace of Lordaeron and returned to the abode that King Terenus had arranged for them, and began to discuss with their henchmen about the kingdoms joining forces against the orcs.

Varian wanted to leave with Lothar, but was stopped by the kind Archbishop Fao.

"Good afternoon, Varian, may the Light be with you."

Varian replied, "Good afternoon, Archbishop, I wonder what you are looking for me?" ”

Fao looked at Varian gently and said, "I want to know about the situation at the Northshire Monastery, can Your Highness tell me about it?" ”

"I didn't see them with my own eyes, but I heard some news from the living pastors." Varian shook his head and said sadly, "The orc army completely destroyed it, only a small number of people survived, they came here by boat with us, and most of the rest were killed by those orcs. ”

"I will pray for them that the Light will guide their souls." Fao closed his eyes in pain, and after a while, he said slowly, "Thank you for telling me this, Your Highness Varian. ”

Varian thought that Fao was just inquiring about the Northshire Monastery, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Fao spoke up again: "Your Highness, I felt the aura of holy light on your body in the royal court just now, but you don't seem to be a priest, right?" ”

Fao is a devout believer who has dedicated his life to the Light, so he is sensitive to the breath of the Light.

Just now, when Varian was scolding Aiden at the meeting, he subconsciously wanted to cast the paladin's skills, but he was sensed by Fao.

"Your feelings are not wrong." Varian nodded, and said, "I'm not a priest, but I've found a way to use the Light. ”

Fao looked at Varian curiously, motioning for him to continue.

"I've spoken to the surviving warriors and priests, who on the battlefield have no healers and have to fight the orcs, and the priests, despite their powerful healing powers, have a hard time protecting themselves against the most vicious orcs. So I kept thinking about how I could use the power of the Light to support my comrades and fight the enemy like a warrior. ”

"Warrior and Priest ......" Fao was old, but he had a keen grasp of the key to Varian's words.

Varian said, "It was like being instructed by the Light to give me this idea, and with the help of Priest Nils, I managed to merge the two classes, Warrior and Priest, to create a new class, Paladin." ”

"Paladin? What a genius idea......" Fao repeated, exclaiming.

"I know Nils, he's a devout priest, so he's already helped you find the right way?"

"Yes." Varian replied.

"So, can you give me a feel?"

"Absolutely." Varian first gave Fao a "Blessing of Strength", and then began to chant prayers and cast the "Holy Light Technique", which was arguably the most convincing healing skill for Fao.

A brilliant white light emerged from Varian's hand, and enveloped Fao.

After a moment, the white light dissipated, revealing Fao's surprised face.

"What a warm and pure light," Fao exclaimed...... and he felt the effect of the blessing of strength, and his body seemed to become more powerful.

"I have to admit it, Your Highness Varian, there is no doubt that you have created a new class, the Paladin, and you have personally proven that it works, I wonder if I can learn more about this class?"

"Of course, there is no problem, I can also discuss with you to see if it is possible to get some knights or priests to become paladins." Varian didn't hesitate to agree. Anyway, even if he doesn't say anything, Fao will create this profession in the near future, and Varian might as well take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Fao, improve his friendship, and brush up on the prestige of the Cathedral of Light by the way.

Fao's eyes lit up and he said, "I think there should be no problem, when the time comes, we can specially form an army of paladins, and they will definitely play a vital role in the next war." ”

The wise archbishop was not as conservative and stubborn as the average old man, but he had a remarkable vision and was able to quickly discover the advantages of this new profession in warfare.

Varian then told Fao in detail about the Paladin's profession, and after listening to this, Fao pondered for a moment before speaking, "I will select some knights and priests who have devout beliefs, and train them not only in combat skills, but also in prayer and healing. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Your Highness Varian to take the time to guide them, you shouldn't refuse my request as an old man......"

After some conversation, Fao's friendliness towards Varian grew quickly, and he didn't speak as politely and detachedly as he had at first, even joking.

Varian smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, I'm always waiting for your call." ”

If nothing else, Fao will choose Uther Lightbringer, Tirio Fordin, Seidan Dasohan, and Tulayan as candidates for training, none of which will be unknown minor characters in the future.

In the original timeline, Uther became the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand; Tulayan became Lothar's aide-de-camp and later led the coalition counter-attack on Draeno and blew up the Dark Gate; As for Lafayette Ferdin, not to mention, almost everyone who has played "World of Warcraft" knows him, and the classic "Love and Family" mission moved Varian for a long time, and later he also picked up the Ember Bringer, reorganized the Silver Hand and Silver Dawn, formed the Silver Northern Expedition, and bulldozed Arthas, the Lich King.

The most scummy of the four is Da Sohan, but he is also a Grand Crusader and once served as the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, but unfortunately he was killed and occupied by the Dreadlord Banazal when he attacked Stratholme, which led to the later demise of the Scarlet Crusaders.

Varian was also a little excited to have the opportunity to mentor these four, he thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, I also have a suitable person here who I would like to recommend to you. ”

The person he wanted to recommend was Gavinrad Doom, a loyal knight who was a member of the Tempest Knights and the last of the original five original Paladins.
