Chapter 0058: Confession
The Sage's Residence is located in an extremely remote area deep in the mountains, because the old sage spent his last time here, and the relationship between the last time of the old sage's life, and the relationship between the place of eternal rest after his death is not far away, was spontaneously protected by the members of the Brotherhood of Light in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and over time it became a place of pilgrimage for devout followers of the Holy Light in the north of the Eastern Continent.
I came here specifically to see Kaliya.
During the three-year college career, I came here twice in total, not counting this time.
On the one hand, professionals are busy and hard to practice, and it takes a whole month to come and go at the earliest, which is too luxurious for Wu Hao, who is racing against time; On the other hand, for Kaliya, the former royal princess, Wu Hao has been hesitating for a long time what position to look at the other party.
It wasn't until almost two years ago that Wu Hao made a decision.
"It's finally here." Wu Hao put away the token and looked at the crowd walking in the station.
Originally, there were less than ten paladins in the Sage Residence, and during the period when Wu Hao left here to go to the King's Academy, except for those who followed Gavinrad to the Stormwind Kingdom, all the members of the Holy Light Brotherhood in the Lordaeron Kingdom arrived at this holy place one after another, and then left in batches according to Wu Hao's orders.
There were thirty-three people in the station, five priests, two hunters, and twenty-seven paladins.
The Holy Light Brotherhood can only be joined by priests, and the paladins in the members are all first-generation paladins who have been transferred, with extremely powerful combat capabilities, and the two hunters are the descendants of the members of the Holy Light Brotherhood, who have been nurtured by their fathers since childhood, so that their worship of the saints comes from the soul, and they are qualified to protect this sacred place.
The news of Wu Hao's arrival had been informed in advance a few days ago.
At this time, there were eight members of the Brotherhood of Light who appeared to greet them, and the one who stood at the forefront was Kaliya.
The escort team did not step forward directly, but stopped a hundred meters away from the chapel, and then the second-generation paladins in the team made a salute and left immediately, and the remaining first-generation paladins were all paladins of the Brotherhood of Holy Light, and every time they went to the station in the past three years, they escorted them.
"Sage." Seeing Wu Hao approaching, Kaliya smiled and bowed.
"Sister Kaliya!" Wu Hao laughed and walked up and gave Kaliya a hug.
Since following Alonsos Fao at the age of less than 14, the 20-year-old Kaliya is 1.75 meters tall, and the remaining youthfulness of three years ago has completely dissipated, replaced by a plump body that exudes maturity all the time, and the rare and beautiful face in the world has not only not faded, but is more beautiful, with long golden hair hanging down to the waist, and a faint fragrance surrounding the whole body.
Facing Wu Hao's embrace, Kaliya was obviously shocked.
The paladins next to him seemed to be unable to see the actions of the two, and after saluting Wu Hao, they dispersed, and Kaliya did not make any movements, just stood in place and let Wu Hao hug tightly, neither catering nor dodging, but the smile on his face was a little stiff, and the fingers under the heavy priest's robe trembled slightly.
After more than ten seconds, Wu Hao took a step back.
"Let's go in and talk." Wu Hao smiled: "It's too cold outside." β
"Okay." Kaliya nodded.
The two of them walked through the station one after the other, and came to the wooden house where Alonthos Fao lived, the residence of the previous generation of sages was naturally the residence of the new sages, except for only two Wu Hao arrivals, the rest of the time it was uninhabited, and it was kept neat and clean every day, only Kaliyah occasionally came in to have a look.
Kaliya's house is next to it, and on the other side is a house where prayers are gathered.
Most of the other paladins lived in another wooden hut a few hundred meters away, and a few moved to the periphery of Fao's tomb, and there was even an elderly paladin and one of the two hunters, who stayed in front of Fao's tomb every day, and even slept directly on the spot except for personal convenience, as a sign of worship and respect for the old sage.
Basically, the members of the Brotherhood of Light who come here have similar living habits.
The people in the station are just guards in shifts.
Gently closing the door, Wu Hao motioned for Kaliya to sit down, and naturally sat next to each other, the whole wooden house only had a double wooden chair, or the last time Wu Hao came to the station in winter, Wu Hao was the master to add, and earlier this room was only a wooden bed that could sit down.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Wu Hao was disgusted with the beautiful priest Kaliya at first, and once had the idea of killing him quietly, but in later contact and life, Wu Hao noticed that the female pastor in front of him was an extremely fanatical believer, and her hostility towards herself was just childish, so he gradually let go of his prejudice against her.
According to the teachings of the Brotherhood of Light, every member is to serve the sages wholeheartedly.
The so-called service here is very pure, and it refers more to the veneration of the saints in faith, Alonsos Fao, who was unable to live in old age and serious illness, still spared no effort to guide the path of every believer around him, which turned the Brotherhood of the Holy Light, which was originally established only to unify the original intention of the doctrine, into a personality cult organization after decades of development.
The old sage led by example all his life, and was completely the embodiment of the Holy Light, without any selfish desires.
When Wu Hao succeeded as the new sage, he didn't have time to cultivate any personal power, but he had already integrated into the personality cult of every member of the Holy Light Brotherhood, and it was still poured into him as it was, this kind of fanatical and blind worship was simply incomprehensible, and Wu Hao was really used to it after a long time.
Strictly speaking, Kaliya has long belonged to her.
Beauty does not affect Wu Hao's will, but it can be replaced by Kaliya, who is absolutely loyal to his subordinates and has an unprecedented beautiful figure, which really makes Wu Hao unconsciously attracted, especially after growing up, two short meetings will make Wu Hao can't help but be deeply obsessed.
The doctrine of the Word of Light is not forbidden, and many members of the Church have become lifelong partners.
It stands to reason that he wants to take down Kaliya, but it is just in Wu Hao's thoughts.
However...
"Sage." Kaliya, who was sitting quietly, suddenly spoke: "Please respect yourself." β
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Wu Hao coughed awkwardly a few times, and retracted the hand that was stretched out to the other party's leg at some point, although Kaliya's tone was flat and did not seem to be blaming himself at all, but he still felt that his cheeks were hot, and an inexplicable feeling of shame filled his heart, as if he had done something blasphemous.
This happened on the first two occasions.
"Damn, why do you feel so ashamed?" Wu Hao complained wildly in his heart. "I'm an old driver!"
This is where Wu Hao has always been entangled, not to mention really winning Kaliya, even he didn't dare to pull the hand of this beautiful woman, whether it was to treat Madeleine's natural eating of tofu, or to treat Demytia's relatives with natural affection, it couldn't work in the face of Kaliya.
It feels like facing a noble and pure goddess, and I don't dare to offend even the slightest.
After sitting for a while, Wu Hao laughed at himself.
"Sage." Kaliya raised her eyebrows beautifully: "If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it." β
"Hmm..."When he mentioned his heart, he immediately thought of Demytia, another beautiful girl who made him very entangled, thinking of this, the shame in Wu Hao's heart immediately dissipated, and after a while, he began to tell about his embarrassing situation after knowing Demytia since he met, from the orphan camp to the present.
Two hours had passed.
At first, Wu Hao was just recounting the past with a blank expression, but after recalling it in the depths, he was also touched by the bits and pieces of his memory and Demytia, and there was a smile, distress, anger, and pain on his face... and other emotions, until the sense of loss brought by the memory after the speech, still can't leave for a long time.
"Sage, do you mean..."Kaliya looked at Wu Hao blankly: "You really regard that girl as a sister?" β
"It's really my sister." Wu Hao had a bitter face.
"But..."Kaliya also received an aristocratic education, and she obviously couldn't understand Wu Hao's concept: "According to aristocratic etiquette, only between people of the opposite sex who are extremely intimate can they show such a posture in front of outsiders, and some aristocratic couples will appear to be separated even if they are not in harmony in private..."
"Sister Kaliya." Wu Hao interrupted: "I'm a civilian. β
"Even if you're a civilian, you should know the basics." Kaliya had a look of surprise on her face, and continued with a serious attitude: "And if you treat that girl as a sister, you should bring the title of sister, so as not to make the other party misunderstand, according to your statement, the girl seems... Have you loved you for a long time? β
Speaking of the word love, Kaliya was a little unaccustomed.
"I think it started in an orphan camp." Wu Hao was depressed: "I also understood it after listening to Arthur." β
"Arthurβ" Kaliya stared, reaching out to put the hair on her face to her ear, "That's what's wrong with you." β
"Sister Kaliya, listen to me." Of course, Wu Hao knew that the other party must have some aristocratic etiquette, or the traditions of the commoners and natives of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and he was very irritable after hearing it countless times these days: "I have a friend, a very good friend, I should never see him again in the future, his lover is 8 years older than him, and he added the word mother to her name." β
Listening to Kaliya gasped.
"It's not really a mother, and there's no blood relationship between them." Wu Hao immediately knew that Kaliya had misunderstood, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain: "This friend of mine likes to give nicknames to people close to him, and the word mother is the nickname he added to his lover, and his lover also likes him to call him that. β
The friend Wu Hao is talking about is a little iron buddy in his previous life.
This guy calls his wife XX mother, the two words XX in front are names, and the words in the back are affectionate names between lovers; Just like some women like to call their boyfriend or husband XX dad when they are coquettish, or just call them dad, it is not a pervert or a mother or father, but an intimate play between lovers.
The so-called Mother is translated into the human language of the world of Azeroth.
"So, sageβ" Kaliya immediately began to think.
"Of course not, I'm not as disrespectful to my parents as that guy." Wu Hao shook his head with a wry smile, and continued: "To me, calling Demithia by her name does not prevent me from treating her as my own sister, for me, everyone is unique, I will not distinguish intimacy from a specific title..."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at Kaliya: "Calling you Sister Kaliya doesn't mean that I really treat you as a sister." β
Almost at the same time, Wu Hao shook Kaliya's hand.
Originally, they were solemn when they met before, and every time Wu Hao was about to eat tofu, he would seriously stop Kaliya, after hearing this and being caught by Wu Hao, his beautiful face showed panicked shame for the first time, and he wanted to retract his hand but couldn't do it under the conditioned reflex, but his other hand was also caught by Wu Hao.
Under the four palms facing each other, Wu Hao clearly felt sweat oozing from the palm of the jade hand.
The beauty of the beautiful woman was soft and cool, trembling slightly in her hands, causing her heart to throb inexplicably.
"I'm serious." Wu Hao said word by word: "Sister Kaliya." β
"What.. No.. I am.." Kaliya, who had lost her face, finally broke free, her chest rose and fell sharply, and she looked at Wu Hao with a look that she had never seen before, and waited for a while before she slowly calmed down: "I'm sorry, Sage, I'm not feeling well, please allow me to leave for the time being." β
After speaking, without waiting for Wu Hao to speak, he left in a hurry.
