Chapter XXXVIII: The Archbishop's Request
After the warm-up of the Dragon Legion's wedding event, the gossip section became even more popular, and more adventurers gathered to watch Brad take the two brides on a tour of the territory. And the adventurers who didn't watch the forum also gathered in this section to watch the live broadcast under the call of people calling friends.
Although the adventurers have long known the information of Brad, the marshal of the Alliance, and at the same time a high lord. But it was only when I saw a picture of a piece of paper cheering countless people that I clearly understood what the Great Lord meant. It was only when they saw the Brad couple leading the way with the dragon, and the entire team and the entire crowd shining brightest, that they clearly realized the gap between them and Brad. only to understand that there is a huge chasm between a big lord and an ordinary adventurer.
At this moment, countless adventurers were enthusiastic, and Brad made them see a new world and hope, and earthlings could also gain a lofty status, and they could also be embraced and revered by countless aborigines.
The speed of the parade was very slow, and although no sound could be heard, the adventurers were deeply shocked by the endless crowd in one photo and the frenzied smiling faces in the crowd. This scene changed the fate of many people, and countless adventurers began to think about joining the indigenous forces.
Brad was also deeply touched, and in the morning he lifted the shackles in his heart and truly gained a new life. This parade made him more aware of the responsibility he shouldered, he could not slack off, and he had to continue to walk for the sake of these people who enthusiastically supported him. Feeling the excitement of the two brides around him, and then glancing at Morgana in the car behind him and the red-faced little Jasmine with excitement, Brad also felt endless satisfaction.
The convoy departed from the Holy City to the Old Town. Then go around part of the docklands, then another street in the Old Town, and finally return to the Holy Town. Finally settle down to the Cathedral of the Holy Light. Today's cathedral is not a little stronger than the church in the old town.
The two daughters of Aurelia took Brad's arm and slowly stepped into the door of the cathedral along the carpet, saying that the archbishop was presiding over the wedding, but the archbishop was extremely old and even had to be helped to walk, this situation was just a formality, and the real wedding had to be carried out in the lord's palace.
"Your Excellency, Marshal. May the Light be with you. At the door of the church, a middle-aged priest saluted Brad.
The three of Brad also saluted and said, "Your Excellency Benedictas." May the Light be with you. ”
"Please come with me, the teacher is inside." Benedictas nodded and led the way inside.
Brad was slightly stunned with the future archbishop, and his rebirth had really changed many things. In order to appease himself, the archbishop took refuge in the convent of Jasper Collar. It is because the archbishop joins the Jasper Collar. to be blessed and strengthened by the Godhead. The archbishop, who was supposed to die in the orc war, actually survived until now.
Benedictas, who should have shown his prominence in this war and won the support of countless people, is not as famous as it used to be, and now the halo of victory in the human-beast war is all on Brad's head. Brad had to admire the power of the butterfly effect, because a small decision changed the established fate of countless people.
As a reborn, Brad knew that the kind priest in front of him, the archbishop revered by countless people, was actually an avid follower of Deathwing, and later known as Father Twilight. In the previous life, many major events in Stormwind City were more or less shadowed by Father Twilight. The Black Dragon Princess orchestrated the disappearance of the envoys, causing Varian to disappear. Then the conflict between the planning aristocracy and the stonemasons' guild caused Defia to wreak havoc in the western wilderness. The events lead the gossipy adventurer to find out countless clues and realize the existence of Father Twilight.
The most vigorous event in his life was to take advantage of the emptiness of the Dragon Sleep Temple to infiltrate the Red Jade Temple, corrupt all the red dragon eggs, and dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Red Dragon Legion. Then he tried to deceive the dragon soul in Thrall's hands, but he was rejected before revealing his original hideous face.
But what bothers Brad, and of course, countless adventurers is that they have never found out why an archbishop church has become an evil cult leader, which is a big mystery, and no one can find out the truth until Brad is reborn.
"What's wrong with you?" Aurelia pinched Brad's arm and asked softly.
Braumus asked nervously in a whisper: "You can't be a phobia, I have heard that many men are afraid of marriage when they are about to get married, and there are even grooms or brides who run away from marriage." ”
Aurelia also thought of this possibility, and grabbed Brad's arm tightly as if she was afraid that he would escape.
Brad whispered with a smile: "What are you thinking nonsense, how long have I been looking forward to marrying you as a wife, how can I be afraid of marriage, besides, do you think I am the kind of irresponsible man?" ”
"This class is not good, if you run away, how will our sisters see people in the future."
Hearing Braumus's words, Brad was completely speechless, and sure enough, on the day of marriage, both men and women became abnormal.
The archbishop was no longer able to catch the wind, and in the small hall next to the main hall of the cathedral, there were two girls accompanying him, one was Lux, the bishop of the Jasper Lord, who was also a hero, and the other was White, the righteous daughter of the Ash Bringer. Mayne, both of them were closed disciples of the Archbishop in Jasper. And Benedictas is the archbishop's most trusted disciple and heir.
In the face of the elders who have worked hard to relieve the hardships of mankind all his life, Brad has always been full of respect, although because of his intervention caused a series of accidents in the Jade Collar, but Brad knew that even without the archbishop, the old king of Lordaeron would still not be able to tolerate the Jasper Collar. This friction is because of the archbishop's personality, and Brad also put that bit of estrangement behind him.
Brad took the lead in the ceremony, and the archbishop, in the presence of three priests and some of his cronies, performed the wedding ceremony for the three according to the procedure, which was the same as before.
It was just a simple action, and after the ceremony the archbishop was already sweating on his forehead.
Looking at Brad, who already had an extraordinary temperament, the archbishop's eyes lit up, and he said slowly: "Your Excellency, your growth has exceeded my expectations, but I hope that there will be a few more people who exceed my expectations, so that mankind can continue and develop for a longer time." ”
Brad said sincerely: "The archbishop has won the award, I am actually not as good as you think, but I just did what I should do." ”
The archbishop shook his head slowly and sighed: "Although I am old, I am not confused, and the things outside can't hide from me. On behalf of all the people, I would like to thank the marshal for not being involved in his official duties because of personal grievances. After the death of the old marshal, if you had not stepped forward and turned the tide, humanity would have fallen into an endless abyss. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Brad was, he couldn't help but blush at this time, and hurriedly said: "The archbishop's words really make me embarrassed, although I am now a marshal, I am only a member of the human race, countless warriors have fallen forever to defend their homeland, and I am also for my homeland." ”
The archbishop's face was full of relief, and he said happily: "I finally understand why you have been embraced by countless soldiers to become a commander at such a young age, I still remember the last time we met in Dalaran, you were a brilliant young man in my eyes, but now you have quickly grown into a qualified leader." ”
The archbishop interrupted Brad's words with a wave of his hand, and continued, "You are still so young, and with you, I can safely return to the embrace of the Light. ”
Brad suddenly understood in his heart that the archbishop would never say that these were definitely not orders to praise himself, he knew that he could not escape today, and said stubbornly: "What the archbishop has to teach, despite me, I will do my best to follow it." ”
The archbishop didn't care about Brad's words, but just stared at Brad with blazing eyes, and said with anticipation: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I beg you for one thing, please promise me no matter what." ”
"Archbishop, please, I'll listen." Brad said.
Seeing that Bled did not simply agree, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said with pleading: "As I said just now, Your Excellency Marshal, you are too young, and you are the undefeated god of war in the hearts of all mankind. While the other kings are already old, I would like to say that the opportunity for the development of mankind is not easy to come by, and I implore the marshal to put aside his personal grievances for the sake of all mankind, and let mankind continue to prosper. ”
The faces of everyone in the small hall changed, and they all heard what the archbishop meant. It is well known that several kingdoms in the alliance are very unfriendly to the Jasper Collar, among which the royal family of Lordaeron is Brad's sworn enemy, and has framed Brad several times, the most excessive one is the Battle of Jasper Collar, if it weren't for Brad's hole cards enough, Jasper Collar almost fell because of this. Now the archbishop's meaning is very clear, that is, to ask Brad to put aside hatred and maintain the stability of human society.
Everyone was focused on Brad, with Lux being the most complex. She was the first to join the Jasper Collar, and she witnessed the embarrassing situation of the Jasper Collar at that time. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want her members to do a desperate job, and Brad had a glimmer of potential, she wouldn't have made a heavy bet on the Jasper Collar.
However, she never imagined that with just a small investment, she would be richly rewarded. Not only did he get the Hero Soul Crystal, but he was also fortunate enough to become a close disciple of the Archbishop. And Bled went from a very down-and-out little lord to the number two man of the Alliance, the generalissimo who could deploy the Alliance army. She has witnessed the rise of a legend, and she is immensely proud to be an Earthling, and Brad is the first fellow to come to Azeroth to impress and convince her.
She had already written about Brad's experiences over the years, and as Bishop of the Jasper Lord, she knew the whole story better than any other adventurer. She is now very much looking forward to Brad's answer, which will bring her to a perfect end in Brad's biography, Volume 1, Rise of the Legend...... (To be continued......)
PS: It's not too late to come back today, but I'm too tired for a while, I fell asleep directly in bed, and it was already late when I woke up, so I could only watch two shifts today.
