Chapter 41: Reinforcements
"After praying, you will definitely be able to sense the existence of the Holy Light, everyone is like this, when I was very young, I could sense the Holy Light by praying with my father, but I may not be able to use the existence of the Holy Light." Xiao Sally's very innocent words immediately extinguished the excitement in Song Zheng's heart like a basin of cold water.
It seems that it is not that he is talented, but that this holy light is too 'cheap', and almost as long as you have faith in it, you can sense the existence of the holy light.
"Then how can you use this light to heal or attack?" Song Zheng asked a little embarrassed.
"Of course, you have to study hard first in order to become a qualified pastor, which requires one year of meditation and prayer in the Church of Light, another year of prayer rituals, then one year of first aid, and then one year of ......," Xiao Sally snapped her fingers and introduced the process of becoming a pastor for Song Zheng.
Song Zheng was already speechless for a while, according to Sally Whitemayne, if you want to become a qualified pastor, you must go through at least five or six years of systematic training, and finally you need to pass the pastor's assessment, and you need to practice for a long time, like Sally herself is currently in the internship period.
As for becoming a paladin, it is even more troublesome, in addition to becoming a qualified priest first, you also need to learn all the lessons of a knight, and then learn how to use the power of the Holy Light in battle.
Like Bridget, she is already very proficient in the use of holy light, and her combat skills are also very good, but she is still not a paladin, and she must pass the assessment of the paladin, and it is said that the pass rate of the paladin is very low.
"The Great Lord really can't be a great lord if he wants to......" Song Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, this kind of profession that requires official certification is difficult to find a job, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why the number of paladins is far less than that of hunters and the like.
However, he still did not give up completely on the pursuit of the power of the Holy Light, and he still kept asking Xiao Sally some questions about the Holy Light along the way, after all, in the next great catastrophe of the undead natural disaster, the paladin can be said to be the absolute protagonist, even if he can't become a paladin, then he has to have a relationship with the paladin.
The sky is slightly bright, and the air in the mountains and forests after the rain is very fresh.
Song Zheng and Sally were already covered in mud, but they finally got out of the mountains and forests.
"Finally come out, let me see which side is the direction to Talenmir......" Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, although he was tired all night, he finally escaped.
However, at this moment, there was a dull thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and before he could react, a team of heavily armed knights had already appeared in view.
"It's over, you won't be able to escape if you are chased by these knights." Song Zheng thought of the knights who killed people on the battlefield last night, and a burst of despair immediately appeared in his heart.
After a night of walking through the mountains and forests with Sally Whitemane, he was so tired that he couldn't even run a few steps if he wanted to use that 'sprint' skill.
"Sally, run away, these people are here to arrest me, as long as they catch me, they shouldn't chase you anymore." Song Zheng turned around and told the little priest to flee quickly, hoping that she would survive.
However, what made him speechless was that the little Sally on the side was excited, and even waved her hand and shouted to those knights.
"Run? But these are the knights of Lordaeron......"
"......" Song Zheng was completely speechless for a moment.
It was indeed Lordaeron's knight who came, and it was from Talen Mill, led by the captain Karen that Song Zheng knew.
The knights had apparently spotted the two covered in mud and water, but Song Zheng was wearing syndicate thief's clothes, while Little Sally was wearing priest's robes, so that the two of them looked particularly incongruous when they stood there.
"Are you...... Mr. Song Zheng? How do you dress up like this? And covered in muddy water? Karen recognized Song Zheng and immediately widened her eyes in shock.
"We're in some trouble, Captain Karen, where are you going?"
"We got information that someone is trying to disadvantage Her Highness Gianna, so we want to catch up and escort you, what is going on with you......" Karen's face changed, obviously worried.
"You're right, it is true that someone attacked Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now Her Royal Highness the Princess is very dangerous, I just risked my life to rush out to seek reinforcements!" Song Zheng immediately wiped the muddy water off his face, straightened his chest, and said that his escape was particularly righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Ah, someone really dares to attack Her Highness Gianna, hurry up and take us to rescue Her Highness the Princess!" Karen immediately looked anxious.
Gianna's identity is very special and extremely important, and if there is an accident, it will definitely be a major event that shocks the entire human kingdom.
And if there is an accident in the territory of Tarummere, then he, the captain of Talummere's cavalry, will definitely be done, and even the entire family will be implicated!
"Okay." Song Zheng immediately nodded and agreed.
However, after looking at the knights behind Karen, he found that the number of knights under Karen was not very large, so he proposed to have Sally escorted Sally to Talon Mill to find Bridget first, and at the same time asked the Church of Light to send priests and paladins to help.
"Please ask the Church of Light to help? Do you need to do that...... That would make a big difference, my men are the elite of Tarummere, enough to wipe out the bands of thieves in the vicinity. Karen was a little hesitant when he heard this, he didn't want to alarm the Church of Light, it would affect his prestige somewhat.
"You don't know how powerful the enemy in front of you is, it is not only the syndicate thieves who attacked Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also many mages, and even a very large cavalry team, the nearly 1,000 knights around Her Royal Highness the Princess are almost all killed, and the only way to do this is to let the paladins take action." Song Zheng said solemnly.
"Mages and knights were involved in the attack?!" Karen immediately showed a look of consternation, but finally did not refuse Song Zheng's request again, and immediately sent an elite knight to escort Sally back to Talenmere.
Although Song Zheng was a little worried that going south again would be a self-defeating net, but thinking of the safety of Gianna and the others, he still chose to lead Karen to the valley where the battle took place last night.
On the way south, Song Zheng roughly recounted the battle last night, but Karen's face was getting darker and darker, and the running speed of the war horse under him was getting slower and slower.
When Song Zheng said that there was an undead spirit, Karen's face was already pale, and she quickly tightened the reins to stop the warhorse.
"There is such an evil creature as a necromancer?! I think...... Let's wait for the paladins from the Church of Light to come......"
