Chapter 40: Choosing an Adjutant
For the rest of the day, Lothar and the paladins had been communicating with each other, and they had a general understanding of each other through talking.
Of course, Uther and the others are also very interested in Varian, the original paladin, and will discuss something about the paladin with him from time to time.
Varian had studied the mysteries of the Light with Priest Nils, and had experienced a lot of practical practice in the system dungeons, so he still had a good say in how the paladins should fight.
More than two hours later, when it was time for Uther and the others to pray, Varian and Lothar took their leave and left the residence of Archbishop Fao.
The summer weather in Lordaeron is a bit hot, so there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally a few children run and play in the streets, chasing each other, and the whole city is full of peace, just like Varian and their former royal city, Stormwind.
"None of these citizens know the news of the orc's coming, or how long the city will remain peaceful......" Lothar sighed as she walked down the streets of Lordaeron.
Varian looked at the children and said, "There's no need to let the citizens know about this now, otherwise it's just adding to the panic." ”
The two continued to walk back, and after a while, Lothar suddenly asked, "Varian, what do you think of these paladins?" ”
Varian thought for a moment and said, "They are all very good people, and I think Archbishop Ao is right, if they go to war, they can all be on their own. ”
Lothar frowned and said, "But after all, none of them have been tested in war as a paladin, and that Tulayan has not even been on the battlefield......"
Varian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Lothar, don't forget that I'm a paladin myself, and I'm more sure than you can do what this class can do on the battlefield, so you can trust them." ”
"Trust them......" Lothar murmured.
"Yes, I think they're as reliable as Gavinrad and deserve your trust."
"I see." Lothar nodded and said, "By the way, what kind of people do you think they are?" Gavin Rad needless to say, I know him better than you do. ”
Varian thought for a moment and said, "Uther is a devout believer, and his faith gives him great strength. But...... I think he cares too much about glory and faith, and even a little rigid, which is not an advantage on the battlefield......"
"Uther's faith is strong, so he won't consider using those dishonorable means to win. But to defeat those orcs, we must use all means we can, even if they may not be noble. Lothar agrees with Varian's sentiments.
Varian continued, "Moreover, Uther is a strict man, and if he were only to lead the Paladin, he would definitely be a good leader. But for ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be able to endure his strictness. ”
What Varian said was not only seen from the conversation he had just had, but also the memories of his past life.
In the original timeline, when Uther later served as Arthas's mentor, he only blindly demanded that His Royal Highness the prince be pious in his beliefs, but in fact, what Arthas needed was not piety or strict discipline, but the correct guidance and care for power.
In this regard, Tirio Fordin's performance is clearly better than Uther.
Although he is also a devout believer in the Light, he is not old-fashioned, but knows how to be flexible.
Therefore, when everyone hated the orcs, Fording uttered the classic quote: "Race is not glory, I have seen the most noble orcs, and I have seen the most despicable humans." ”
Compared to Uther, Fordin's biggest characteristic is that he is more human.
He doesn't make judgments about beings that are different from his own, so when the orc Itreg is captured by humans, Fordin is obligated to stand up, even if he is exiled and deprived of the power of the Light.
Ferdin's touching fatherly love for his son Tylan is also touching, even though he is exiled, he still secretly pays attention to his son, when he finds out that his son has gone astray, he will be anxious, try his best to get his son back on the right path, and finally when his son dies tragically, he hugs his son and cries, this scene is unforgettable for players who have done the task of "Love and Family".
On the other hand, it is hard to imagine that Uther would do these human acts. He would only keep Arthas under strict restraint, and when Arthas insisted on slaughtering the city of Stratholme, he did not hesitate to leave.
Therefore, in his previous life, Varian always felt that Uther had an unshirkable responsibility for the fall of Arthas.
As for Saidan Dasohan, he was the least scheming of the men.
"Simple-minded and well-limbed" is a fitting description of Da Sohan's characteristic, otherwise he would not have been so reckless as to rush into the army of the undead alone, only to be killed by Banazar and destroy the entire Scarlet Crusade with his body.
Of course, Varian couldn't tell Lothar all of these things, he just had a choice to say them.
"You're very observant and comprehensive." Lothar thinks that Varian's views of Uther, Fordin, and Dasohan are similar to his own, if not more comprehensive than his own.
He continued, "So, what about Tulayan? What do you think of him? ”
Tulayan? A model of a civilian dick who successfully married Bai Fumei in a counterattack......
Throughout the history of Azeroth, it seems that there is just such a celebrity who was born as a commoner.
Although Luo Ning was also a winner in the first half of his life after Tulayang, his original identity was also the Venerable Master Dalaran.
Varian thought for a moment and said, "Turayan may not be as strong in his beliefs as others, but I think he is the most suitable person to be your lieutenant. ”
"Oh? Tell me why? "Lothar came interested.
"Turayan has a quick mind and a lot of insight, and although he may not be as strong as others, I think he is more intelligent than others." Varian smiled and said, "And most importantly, I think Uncle Lothar admires this young man. ”
Lothar smiled and said, "You're much younger than him...... Yes, I do intend to speak to Archbishop Fao and let Tulayan be my aide-de-camp. As for Uther, he will be our liaison with the cathedral. ”
