Although she had heard of it for a long time, seeing the Holy Light turn into a shadow under her nose, Liadrin's whole body was messy. After a long time, she bit her lower lip hard, and the tingling pain in her heart finally brought her back to her composure.

"How?" her voice was no longer as soft as it had been, and a hoarse voice came out, showing her uncontrollable confusion.

Lanloth didn't rush to answer, retracting control, and Rumo's longsword quickly returned to its original state.

"Remember what I said? I'm not a believer. ”

"You, you control the Light, isn't it right......" As soon as the words came out, Liadline subconsciously overturned it, and she shook her head, as if trying to force herself to think more rationally.

"I am not a servant of the Light, nor am I his master. Lanlos didn't seem to see the messiness and embarrassment of the High Priest at the moment, and his slow tone sounded like he was stating some kind of indisputable fact, "We're more like, comrades-in-arms." ”

Comrade in arms?

Liadline's red lips opened slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she found that she seemed to lose the strength to speak.

"More than a decade ago, the Council of Tirisfa was killed in Karazhan, and on that very day, I was banished to Drae......nor by chance," Lanlos smiled as he comforted the priest and spoke in a gentle tone about Adruin's origins and his own understanding of the Light.

What is the Light?

In the eyes of the natives of Azeroth, the Light is the power of faith. It is the reward of good deeds and righteousness for devout believers all day long, and it is a concrete expression of noble soul and spirit.

However, this statement was too idealistic for Lanros, who was a spellcaster. The experiences and memories of his past life have allowed him to remain rational in dealing with the fantastical power of arcane and holy light.

Especially after having the Eye of Dalaran, his perception of the world has become clearer and clearer.

Like magnetism, radiation, arcane and light, in the final analysis, they are all special energies. Although their manifestations are different, they are fundamentally the same.

These fantastical forces can be artificially controlled, and at the same time, when combined in different ways, can produce very different energy efficiency, just as different atomic compositions can create different elements. And in the process of arrangement, the mage calls chanting and the priest calls praying, but in fact, it is completely different.

Of course, Lanloth also pondered why the Light could be associated with justice, mercy, and goodness, while the Arcane could not.

The human body is a delicate machine, and interference from the outside world, no matter how big or small, can have a huge impact on its behavior. For example, when the body ingests sugar, the brain produces a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which prompts the nervous system to send pleasant signals to the body.

Sacred light, shadows, and evil energy are also ingested by the human body from the outside world in a certain way, and perhaps it is the pulses or radiation waves generated by this energy that stimulate some nerves in the human body, producing brain secretions that can affect emotions, personality, and behavior.

Although he is not a professional biologist, let's not forget how long Lanlos has been in the hospital when he came to this position, he has first-hand experience. No matter how manic and anxious you are, a stitch will quickly make you calm and free from the world.

And the Holy Light happens to promote positive emotions. In the eyes of others, these people who have been blessed by the Holy Light are all benevolent and benevolent, so in order to be favored by this power, people have cultivated their self-cultivation and devoted themselves to goodness, and finally formed a system of faith and the church.

Of course, this kind of good practice will definitely strengthen one's affinity with the Light, after all, most of the priests and paladins are born from these devout believers.

Shadows, evil powers, for the most part.

Lanlos respects those who hold on to their faith, but he doesn't want faith to be a burden or a burden to this young pastor. After all, the Light is only energy, it has no thoughts, and it does not respond to the call of believers. It can be a totem, a spiritual sustenance, but it should not replace everything.

Unlike the spiritual and ideological longing of the Holy Light in human beings, the Well of the Sun is the source of belief in the High Elf priests, and it is a physical object that exists in front of them. The elven priest almost worshipped the Well of the Sun as a god, and it was precisely because of the high expectations that when Quel'Salas was in trouble, the inaction of the 'gods' caused their faith to collapse in an instant. This loss of trust even caused them to lose their connection with the Light.

This situation will eventually cause the High Elves to suffer, and Liadeline knows her well, and he is willing to share his opinion with the other party, and if it can have a good impact in the end, it will be considered worthy of his identity as Queldore.

But then again, Naru is worthy of being a holy light battery, much easier to use than faith or something. Finally finished speaking, Lan Luo was relieved, and the action of stroking the long sword became more and more lovely.

Liadline only felt dizzy in her head, and what Lanros said tonight was almost completely contrary to what she had been taught since childhood. If it weren't for the exquisite rune sword in the other party's hand exuding a familiar warm glow, she would have flipped the table and left.

"I don't understand what you're saying. Liadline shook her head in good faith.

The two men had very different levels of education and cognition, and Lanlos did not expect two or three sentences to make the young priest emancipate her mind and view this power correctly from the perspective of a scientific system. The seeds had already been planted, and he wasn't sure what the impact would be.

"It's just a little bit of caution on my own to use this power, and it's only because you ask me and I think you're a good person that I say it. As for how you understand it, it's up to you. ”

I didn't say that.

Liadlin took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and returned her gaze to the long sword in his hand again: "You said that the Holy Light is just an energy, then can you explain why it turned into a shadow?"

As I said earlier, light and shadow leave a completely different impression on people, one is hope, the other is despair, one black and one white, one good and one evil. For someone like Liadrin, the transformation of a noble and holy light into a filthy and dark shadow is unacceptable.

But for Lanloth, he doesn't see anything wrong with it: "Cold and hot are two completely opposite feelings in the eyes of people, but in my opinion, they are essentially the same. ”

"Energy is everywhere, it's just that different things have high and low energy. When energy is released, heat is generated, and when it is absorbed and transferred, cold is felt. Without light, there is naturally darkness, and the disappearance of darkness is naturally inseparable from light. Light and shadow are mutually reinforcing, but at the same time, they also coexist and coexist. ”

"You're talking about this, and I'm getting more and more confused. Rubbing her eyebrows vigorously, Liadrin's delicate face was full of confusion.

Seeing this, Lan Luos couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart. It is no wonder that in the previous life, so much attention was paid to education, and the emancipation of the mind and scientific cognition were too great for a person and a society.

"Haha, I know you're worried about the day when the holy light in your hands will turn into a shadow. "Like I said, light and shadow are just two manifestations of energy, they don't have any meaning in themselves, meaning is given to them. Whether it's a sword or a shield, it's just a tool and a helping hand in our hands, and it's up to you whether you use them to defend your home or cut people. ”

Liadline sighed and didn't respond, just shook her head slightly. Lanlos's words were too shocking, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them had some friendship, she would have judged this guy as a heretic a long time ago, how could she have the leisure to savor it carefully?

"I see. The priest stood up and bowed gracefully to Lanros, "Thank you for your honesty and advice, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

Without holding back, Lanlos just nodded lightly and silently put his gaze out the window. Faintly, those deep eyes appeared with a dazzling flash that was difficult to look at.

Magic, not theology or philosophy, but science.

————————————————

After a night of communication and analysis, Birohua had apparently reached an agreement with Anastarian, and invited Blue Dragon and Lanloth to a lavishly decorated parlor early in the morning.

Although he didn't sleep all night because of Liadrin's disturbance, Lanlos, who was dragged by Romans in the morning, was still refreshed. Obviously, His Majesty was moved, and it was time to share the cake with great talent.

As it turned out, he was right, and by the time Lanros pushed the door open and walked into the parlor, Birohua had already shared the details with Tyri. Facing the surprised and delighted eyes of the blue dragon princess, the elven mage sat down in his position with a smile that made his mouth close.

"Did you really think of that?" Tyri asked in a whispered voice with a suspicious look as she bumped her elbow into him.

"Of course. Lanlos tugged at his collar and said 'Come and worship me' all over his face.

Unfortunately, the truth is not always as expected, and Tyri's questioning gaze keeps looking at him: "You can't be possessed by goblins, right? Why can't I see that you have this ability?"

No wonder she thinks so, Lanlos has been staying with Blue Dragon these days, and she has never had the opportunity to dig into the situation of Tanaris in detail, let alone diverge business thinking on this basis. You see, the secret Dharma under his command, for so many years, he has been so poor that he is reluctant to change the door, and he can do business?

Pouting, Lanlos turned his head childishly, and said lazily, "You get to know me slowly." ”

Seeing him like this, Tyri was immediately angry, and was about to reason with him, when Carré over there had already reached an agreement with Birohua on the issue of freight transmission and post-maintenance.

"Very well, in this way, there are no other problems with the specific implementation. Compared to yesterday, Anastarian's mood was more than a notch better, as if he had forgotten about his detention of Lanloth in anger, "Bilohua, you immediately go down and arrange for men and supplies, and follow them to Tanaris." ”

After the archmage was ordered to retreat, Anastarian set his sights on Lanloth: "The problem of execution is basically solved, now, let's talk about the rest." ”

"Anyway, everyone is here, and your majesty has any other questions to bring up. ”

"It's not me who has a problem, it's them. Anastarian snorted at Terrin, a look ready to see the show.

When Lanloth turned his head, he was greeted by Tyri's slightly narrowed eyes: "I heard, you only plan to give us one percent?"

Hearing this, Lan Luo raised his eyebrows, picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip to cover up his weakness: "How can it be called 'only'? ”

"So you have half of the copper plate for nothing?" Tyri laughed, but her eyes were full of coldness, "You're really good at calculating." ”

"Ahem. This kind of insatiable thing was openly put on the surface, and Rao is Lan Luos also blushed, "Your Blue Dragon Legion is not short of money, but it is me, suffering back and forth, there is no merit and hard work, right?"

"I don't care how much it is, but since I want the blue dragon to contribute, I naturally want to fight for the due benefits of my compatriots. Tyri understands this guy's brazenness, and knows that the more he beats around the bush, the easier it is to be tricked by him, so she directly made her meaning, "I can ignore fresh water and crude oil, but on the other hand, if I can dig a suitable ore layer, I will at least ask for this amount." ”

Seeing her raise three slender jade fingers, Lan Luos was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and he hurriedly pulled her arm and whispered: "Hey, are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

"What's taking advantage? Breaking free of the other party's palm, Tyri's face turned red, and then she looked at him unto be outdone, "Don't think I don't know, the bronze dragon has been in Tanaris for countless years, and the power of time has long penetrated into the ground, even if there are no magic gems and crystal veins, there will definitely be no shortage of demonic ore layers." The Blue Dragon Legion had wasted a lot of resources on the Turbulent Needle not long ago, and it was just the right time to use this opportunity to recover. ”

As if feeling that the justification was not enough to convince the other party, Tyri demonstratively raised her small fist: "I warn you, you are not allowed to fight with me." ”

The girl's half-reasonable, half-threatening delicate appearance made Lan Luoston stunned, her expression was resentful, her eyes were rolling, and her slightly pursed cherry lips made people unable to take their eyes off. In a trance, Lanlos made a mistake, and he was about to nod yes.

"Ahem. Fortunately, Tyre, who was in the back without saying a word, forced him to calm down with a cold and piercing look, "I warn you, I am a decent gentleman, and you don't want to tempt me." ”

After a short pause, Tyri's smooth and delicate cheeks instantly flew with Caixia, and without thinking about it, she kicked him in the crook of the leg: "Tempt you big-headed ghost!"

"Oops!"

......

In the end, under Tyri's coercion and Tyre's cold eyes, Lanlos retreated. After discussions between the three parties, Quel'Salas had 40% of the total, and he shared the rest equally with the blue dragon.

Although it is different from the monopoly at the beginning, it is also within Lanlos's expectations. Even if this cooperation is of great strategic significance to Quel'Thalas and the Blue Dragon, and he only personally gets a share of the gold coins, but after all, he has no money and no one, and even if he has a keystone to help establish a teleportation channel, it still seems a little thin, and if he really wants to take the big head, Anastarian will definitely not be happy.

This kind of distribution of spoils is exactly what the elf king wants.

However, it is better not to talk to women about business in the future, especially in the presence of Tyre. Lanlos listened to Anastarian's introduction of the troops to be dispatched while listening to Anastarian's introduction, while quietly observing the silent girl with a torch-like gaze, constantly wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Lanloth?"

"Ah, what?" Seeing that everyone's eyes were once again focused on him, the elven mage hurriedly sat upright.

"I mean, what do you think we'd get a better name?" Anastarian shook his head silently, wondering how this creature had managed to achieve all that amazing feat.

"Hehe, you're asking the right person. At the mention of this, the elven mage immediately came to his senses, straightened his waist and cleared his throat, the smile on his face faintly revealed a hint of evil, "In my opinion, it is better to call it Shui Duoduo, Shui Duoduo is not responsible for the company, simple and easy to remember." ”

"Isn't this a little, unseemly?"

Several elderly men present looked at each other as if they had discussed, and they all showed a crying and laughing expression.

"His Majesty the King is wrong to say this, since we are starting with freshwater resources, we have to consider the problem of marketing, this name is very direct, and it is not difficult to contact the distribution channels. Moreover, the law and order in Tanaris is chaotic, and the lack of responsibility reflects that we do not ...... Not afraid of the tough attitude of power. As for the unseemly, is there anything wrong with the name?" Lanros looked at Anastarian with wide eyes and an innocent expression, as if he didn't feel anything wrong with the name.

"Uh, no, this ...... Forget it, it's up to you to do it anyway, so do as you say. The elven king hesitated for a long time, but there was still no way to pull down his face and say it in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Lanlos almost couldn't hold back. Hehe, teasing the king, I'm afraid I'm the first person today.
