Chapter 8: May the light fool you

As the largest city bordering humans and the High Elves, Stratholm has brought unimaginable prosperity to the city due to the endless flow of caravans, and after thousands of years of continuous development and expansion, Stratholme has become another shining pearl of the kingdom of Lordaeron. With caravans coming and going in front of the tall city gates, and people smiling happily on the streets, who could have imagined that one day in the future, this bustling city would fall into darkness and sink.

Karl was not a saint, and he only sighed, and the rise and fall of prosperity seemed to be the inevitable result of the development of all things.

Came to the Chapel of the Light (renamed the Chapel of Alonthos after the death of Alonthos Fao), gave his name, and was led by the guards to the cathedral.

"Welcome to Stratholme, Carl Jr." As soon as he entered, an old man dressed in a bishop's robe approached Karl.

"Holy light, this must be His Excellency Archbishop Fao," Karl saluted him, "Your Excellency's name has resounded throughout the human kingdom, and it has been admired for a long time. It is my pleasure to meet you! ”

After speaking, Liadlin, who turned to the archbishop's side, bowed and said respectfully, "The teacher is well." ”

Liadline first frowned at Carl's Ranger dress, and then seemed to think of something, nodded to Carl, and did not speak.

A long time ago, in Dalaran, a Lordaeron missionary threw a copper coin into the fountain and made a wish: "I hope that one day I will spread the word of light to the common people and teach them the meaning of the Three Virtues." “

(The Fountain Fountain is the only magical Wishing Fountain on the continent of Azeroth, and there are achievements in the game about the coins in this Wishing Fountain, one of which is the bronze coin of Alonthos Fao.) )

This missionary is Alonthos Fao, currently the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, an archbishop revered by all human kingdoms, whose followers are spread across the Eastern Continent.

Arriving in the church room, the archbishop introduced Karl to one of his disciples, Benedictas, who was following him. Carl also has some impressions of this guy, and it seems that he later became the bishop of Stormwind, but eventually degenerated into Father Twilight.

"Carl, I can feel the surging light in you, and sure enough, as Liadlin said, you have a very unique understanding of the light, and you have an unparalleled talent in the path of the light, but you are dressed like this?" The archbishop also seemed curious about Ka's outfit.

Carl looked at the archbishop's curiosity, could it be that the archbishop now has the idea of a paladin?!

"Your Excellency, I believe that the Light is just, no matter what race or profession his believers are, as long as they can be responded to and recognized by the Light, so I think that in addition to priests, warriors can also become faithful believers in the Light." Carl began to flicker, this is Azeroth's common statement about the Light, anyway, he has never believed in this thing, from a scientific point of view, the Light is just a kind of energy, just with different orders or spells, so as to speed up cell division, so as to achieve the purpose of healing wounds, this can be seen from the fact that the Light cannot cure many diseases and internal injuries and restore physical strength.

The Holy Light in Karl's own body is completely transformed by Light Energy, so the essence of the Holy Light is just a kind of energy, just a myth for religious needs.

The archbishop's eyes lit up when he heard Karl's words, and he nodded slightly, "This seems to be a good idea, and I look forward to the day when you will implement this idea and put it to use." ”

Karl didn't say much, the emergence of a new profession is often not so convincing, and even if the archbishop is very interested, I am afraid that he will have to wait to verify whether Carl pulled out a mule or a horse to find out.

Next, the archbishop turned into an old god stick, opened the pyramid scheme mode, and the brainwashing bombing officially began, and for a while the spit frothed, accompanied by the old god stick's subdued voice, and from time to time there was a little holy light embellishment, that situation, it was no different from an angel in the world, and Carl was drowsy when he heard it, but he had to pretend to be serious and pious. As Carl's teacher, Liadline naturally knew very well that her students were not faithful believers in the Holy Light in the eyes of the bishop, this guy was a non-believer at all, and it was very hard to see him look righteous and awe-inspiring, and sometimes as if he had suddenly realized that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.

Probably an hour later, the archbishop finally finished his ministry, and Carl and Liadline finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and said goodbye to the archbishop.

On the way to send Karl's apprentice out of the cathedral, Benedictas enviously told that his teacher had never told others the way of the Holy Light in such detail and earnestly, implying that he had benefited a lot, and he was also touched by Karl's light, saying that Karl would have to tell Yunyun if he needed help in the future.

"Your Excellency Karl, I really regret that I can't discuss the path of light with you for a long time, I am about to go to the North County Monastery with my teacher to communicate, I hope that I will have the opportunity to communicate more with His Excellency Carl in the future." Benedictas said in a rather regretful tone.

Carl couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, don't.

"Your Excellency has been taught by the Archbishop, and I am confident that Your future will be as brilliant and great as the Archbishop."

"Where, your Excellency has a reputation, and I am far worse than the teacher." said modestly, but there was a smile on his face, it was really a fake, Carl slandered in his heart.

Turning the corner, Carl finally relaxed, and couldn't help but stretch out his arms and stretch a big lazy waist, "Finally liberated!" ”

Liadline looked at the childish Carl and couldn't help but smile, although she also believed in the Light, she would not force others to be loyal to the Light, and she also knew that Carl had always been free and casual.

After dinner, the master and apprentice returned to the hotel, and Liadlin asked about Carl's military training and recent learning, Carl came together, except that he was chased by trolls, awakened his genes and then saved Sylvanas, it was not that he didn't believe the teacher, but this thing was too troublesome to explain, and sometimes well-intentioned deception was also necessary.

"So, do you really plan to combine the power of the Light with the warrior and create a new class of the Light warrior?"

Faced with Liadrin's questioning again, Karl nodded affirmatively and said firmly, "Yes, teacher, although the simple priest focuses on the Holy Light, his self-protection ability on the battlefield is really lacking, and the High Elves have not had many great warriors who can stand alone in thousands of armies except for rangers for thousands of years. Although the power of magic is extremely powerful, if the source of magic is lost one day, how can the rangers and priests resist the invasion of the enemy? ”

Liadline listened to Karl's words and was a little unimpressed, what enemies would the High Elves have besides the trolls who were struggling in Zuaman, and besides, the Well of the Sun, the source of power of the High Elves, had existed for thousands of years, and the energy had not been consumed much, so how could it be lost. However, it is also good that her students have ideas, and she certainly does not discourage them.

"Then you can give it a try, maybe you can really start a new career that you have never had before. But my word of advice to you, fighting like a warrior is much more dangerous than a spellcaster, and you must take care of your own safety, if "

"I understand, please rest assured."

"Okay." Liadline sighed, knowing that it wouldn't be useful to say more, "So what are your plans?" ”

Carl thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay in Stratholme for a few days, and then I'm going to travel south in the direction of Stormwind." ”

Liadline nodded, "Nice plan." Anubelore dela'na (May the sun guide you)"
