Chapter Twenty-Six: Actually, I refused at first

"I'm sorry, Miss Barov, but I'm not very interested in participating in the Paladin's baptism." The young elf fiddled with his hands on the round table slightly, and looked at each other's arrogant appearance with a little entanglement.

"Okay, are you here - what are you talking about!" The girl's voice jerked up more than one pitch, and the confident priest girl was hit by a critical hit!

Illusia slammed to her feet, her chest rising and falling in response to her mood swings. She stretched out her right hand and pointed straight at Roland, who was holding the juice opposite, and was speechless for a while.

Well, she actually didn't know what to say. Before coming here, she never imagined that the other party would refuse so clearly, this is the baptism ceremony presided over by Archbishop Alonsos Fao himself!

Thinking of the children of the nobility entangled in the chapel for a place, and the commoners in the Elders' Square who were fighting to their deaths for baptism, she had only one thought now - to grab the loose fellow by the collar, pull him up from his chair, and ask him if he knew how precious each place was!

After a long time, she calmed down the anger in her heart, and said in an indignant tone like a child who wanted to share toys with her friends but was rejected: "You will definitely regret it!" ”

At this point, the girl no longer cared about the so-called aristocratic demeanor, and turned away directly, trampling the wooden floor with every step.

In fact, I have already regretted it, and I regret that I met you and Benedictas. As the girl's angry footsteps grew farther and farther away, Roland raised his glass, took a sip of sweet juice, and began to worry about the days ahead.

He didn't accept the invitation right now, maybe the Paladins wouldn't come to me for trouble? Roland shook his head, ruling out the idea of luck first. Luck is always the most unreliable thing, if you can have the strength of a high-level warrior, I guess you won't be so worried now.

After all, it's still too young! He stretched and leaned back in the chair behind him. Although the average strength of the High Elves is stronger than that of humans, it is accumulated through a long lifespan, and the lions that have just reached adulthood are not necessarily the opponents of male wolves.

In addition to this, the matter itself was a question for him - is the archbishop really old and confused, and at such a time will break the rules and increase the number of baptisms without authorization? Whether others believe it or not, young people themselves will not believe that things are only that simple.

"Don't worry, that kid will be fine."

In the small ashram, the old man sat on the edge of the bed, comforting his disciple, "If you want to become a paladin, the prerequisite is to be honest and kind, if any of them will do something to bully the small, then it is equivalent to automatically giving up this opportunity." ”

"As for the challenge from the younger generation, I don't think the little guy who has received the master's praise will fail so easily."

The old man patted the back of his disciple's hand and said kindly, "Take care of your injuries, don't think too much." ”

With that, the archbishop slowly straightened up, leaned on his cane, and walked out the door. Feeling his aging body, Alonsos Fao sighed helplessly in his heart, the life span of human beings is too short.

He still has a lot of unfinished business to achieve, the spread of the Light, the teachings of his disciples, too many burdens on his heart, but he knows very well that Tyrenus, whose ambitions have been revealed, may not leave him much of a chance.

Even if he is only the strongest of the Seven Kingdoms, he has not become the so-called "Lord of the Alliance", but this old king has no less influence on the rest of the countries than the Lord of the Alliance. This time, it included most of the young noble children of the Lordane Continent, and the powerful Paladin baptism was the result of the other party's forcible promotion.

At the same time, the archbishop was worried about Benedictas, the young disciple who was the child he saved from a trip. After so many years, the former child has grown up, although he is well-behaved and obedient, but sometimes it seems deep, will he really be eroded by the shadows? Facing the warm sun, the old man passed the chill from late autumn.

In addition, his newly accepted female disciples also made him worried. Barov, a large family that owns most of the Hillbride Hills and the vast land of Brill, is already on a par with the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the mild climate and fertile soil of the Hillbride Hills are coveted by all major powers, not to mention that Brill, which is close to the royal city of Lordaeron, is simply a swallow for the powerful monarch of Terenus.

Once the Barov family and Lordaeron do clash, even a six-year-old child will understand what the result will be - Lordaeron's royal flag will be planted on the castle in the heart of the Keldaron Lake! But he is not thinking about who will win or who will lose, but how many civilians will be displaced and starved to death in this unsuspenseful war.

If Lordaeron succeeds in gaining the territory of the Barov family, then it is conceivable that the high-ranking nobles of Lordaeron, who eat a lot of fat, will turn their attention to other kingdoms on the continent, even the High Elves in Quel'Thalas. At that time, will the old guy sitting on the throne be able to control the wild horse? I'm afraid not.

The flames of war will burn away the prosperity and tranquility brought about by thousands of years of peace, and what will be the difference between the humans of Lordaeron and the orcs prophesied by the Adventists? What's more, it is still unknown whether the current human beings can be the God of War High Elves.

Therefore, after Alex Barov showed his sincerity by means of tax reduction, he chose to make the other party's eldest daughter his second and last disciple. Otherwise, no matter how high that girl's qualifications and purity were, he would not have chosen a noble child to be his disciple.

Thinking back to the magical teleportation from Mephistopheles, the old man couldn't help but look forward to what would happen ten days later. If the young elf could help Illusia become a paladin, and if the Barov family could have the paladin legacy, perhaps Terenus would not be so aggressive.

Old friend, the arrival of the Advent has thrown you out of proportion, and humanity should not be in internal friction again before a possible crisis. I know you want to restore humanity to its glory in the days of Soladin the Great, but have you forgotten what you said? Kingship does not last forever.

Glancing at the western sky, Alonsos Fao tightened his modest linen robe and stepped into the autumn wind.
