In the Firmament World, the Great Lord is a very high-ranking honorary title, with a status above the Duke, and usually only the leaders of important military organizations are eligible for this title. For example, Alexandros Mograini, Grand Lord of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Another example is Anduin Lothar, who also served as the Grand Lord when he led the Storm Restoration Army.

I have to say that this price is very high, but compared with the Protector, the Great Lord is still a little less interesting after all.

Since you want to dig the foot of the wall, you have to buy it at a premium.

Murphy didn't respond, instead asking rhetorically, "Are you sure you don't plan to maintain the kingdom of Alterac?" This is the thousand-year-old legacy of our Pirenod family, and you're going to sell it like this? ”

Invincible Sand Sculpture (King of the South Sea): "Game, don't take it too seriously." ”

Victor (King Raven): "Actually, we don't want to, but the situation doesn't allow it, don't you know, the Holy Light Church has directly issued us an ultimatum, saying that some of our members of the royal family of Alterac have colluded with the cult and blasphemed the glory of our ancestors, and we want to send the Knights of Judgment to 'purify' the evil forces entrenched in the royal family."

Having said that, you can either take refuge in Godwin, or you can only go to war.

But can we fight, it's a big deal, everyone is fanatical about the holy light, and the golden holy tree BUFF is added, and all the people are soldiers.

There aren't even a few adventurers left on our side, especially the priest and paladin, all of whom went to Lordaeron to brush up on the prestige buff, as long as Godwin gives an order, it is estimated that the adventurers alone can bulldoze Alterac. ”

Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Collusion with cults? Is there such a thing? They can't say anything about it. ”

Darkseid (King Dixie): "Why not, didn't that kid from Sigrid take refuge in the Eternal Dark Moon, and the old eighth who plays evil spells, and the old seventeen who plays necromancy, our Pirenod family can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Now I have to add a Calamity Demon Dragon incarnation, Mo Fei secretly added in his heart.

Gragbao (King Alterac): "Moreover, Godwin also accused us of mistreating the nobles and mutilating the warriors, saying that we had forced Count Adalian and others to rebel against them, and seized their territories and castles, and such despicable things were not the work of a noble royal family, and we would punish the depraved descendants for our previous kings."

The letter is probably written by an NPC, and it's called a word that can be dragged. ”

Mo Fei listened to the descriptions of several people, and gradually had a clear understanding of the current situation, and it seemed that things were indeed not good.

There are a bunch of crimes, and it can be regarded as a useful excuse to go to war.

Alterac was already weak, but now Lordaeron has increased his strength again, and it is understandable that these people want to admit it.

However, the price is all over the sky to repay the money, so the two of them are going to send our Alterac brothers away, and they can't bear it.

Gotta add money!

"Have you signed it?"

Kiss the fries (King of Solstice): "Of course not, our brothers agreed to advance and retreat together, we must communicate this matter with you first." ”0

Mo Fei sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that you have a little bottom line.

"I'll talk to Godwin and see if I can raise the price." Murphy said, while sighing a little, although he is not interested in the matter of running the kingdom's territory, but thinking about the Pirenor family from the original gathering of heroes, to the later king died in battle, and then to the death of the prince now, divided into five, this will be completely merged into the kingdom of Lordaeron, it is still a little emotional.

While thinking, he sent a private message.

Aidan: Brother Godwin, are you there?

——————

Lordaeron – at the foot of the Golden Tree.

The Golden Sacred Tree is now more than 200 meters tall, with a towering majestic trunk and lush branches and leaves shining with golden light, like a golden cloud covering the sky over the city.

From time to time, golden leaves fall from the trees.

The shredded holy light spilled through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the city of Lordaeron was also hung with a golden halo, full of divine aura.

At this moment, countless priests, believers, and knights gathered around the Golden Tree, prostrate, praying, and praising the name of the Holy Light.

There are also countless adventurers who use the Holy Light, and they are constantly casting Holy Light spells on the Golden Tree.

"The Great Golden Tree, the Great Incarnation of the Light, uses your merciful power to shelter us and other lowly mortals."

"Great dreams come true, great graces have descended, the Supreme Light will, redeems our pious souls."

Around the Golden Tree, countless people of Lordaeron are praying, reciting the miracle of the Great Golden Tree and the mercy of the Great Light.

King Godwin of Lordaeron stood at the front of the procession and took the lead in praying.

The splendor of the sacred tree was so dazzling that even the sun dimmed its golden color.

This light radiates the power of holy light, and no matter what diseases and injuries people have, they can be healed and healed.

Even the skeletons in the cemetery of Lordaeron City were completely purified by the Holy Light, and finally they were no longer refreshed. Let the players who level up by farming Skull Spirits mourn.

However, for those NPC citizens, for the knights of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and for the priests of the Church of Light, the people of Lordaeron have never been happier to be able to bask in this holy light and live in this city of infinite light.

The only downside is that it's not easy to sleep at night.

Archbishop Alonsos Fao looked at the fanatical scene in front of him, and nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that he chose Godwin to bet among the princes back then, and it seems that he chose the right one.

In the past, the Church of the Holy Light could not even rank among the top three in Lordaeron's complex political forces, but now it almost completely controls Lordaeron's political power, and this is partly due to the invasion of the Orcs, and without the threat of the Orcs, how can the Holy Light become a real political force.

But the biggest reason is that it is inseparable from the king's support.

It is inseparable from the call of the divine favor of the 'Shine of Light'.

The combination of royal power and clerical power has undoubtedly achieved the effect that 1+1 is greater than two.

The Church of Light relied on the royal power to rule, and the king relied on the Church of Light to sweep away the nobles and princes who were dissatisfied with him.

Today, the mutual benefit of this partnership has reached its climax.

Suddenly, a bolt of attention fell from among the golden branches of the trees, and Godwin's whole body was shrouded in a pillar of light, and he slowly floated.

"Oh my God, it's a revelation!"

"It is the divine revelation of the great god of light!"

"Praise the Light!"

Alonsos Fao (Archbishop of Light): "Don't be nervous, Your Majesty Godwin, as a god of light, is not surprised to receive divine revelation, everyone, please be quiet. ”

The archbishop's words were more effective than anything else, whether it was nobles and commoners, knights and priests, and even those adventurers who were not afraid of heaven and earth, they all closed their mouths and quietly watched all this in front of them.

Behind the archbishop, the royal archmage looked at the scene in front of him, but his face was complicated and indescribable.

For a long time, the royal mage, the royal knights, and the nobility have all worked together to maintain the political balance of Lordaeron.

Royal mages have always enjoyed a revered status due to their extraordinary power of arcane, they are inextricably linked to Dalaran, they have mastered mysterious arcane magic, as well as many ancient secrets, and they are important members of the Council of Tiris, it can be said that royal mages have always been the most important political faction in Lordaeron.

But now that the king has fallen in full swing toward the Church, that balance has been completely upset.

It's a pity that the princes they supported didn't work out at all, and the crazy girl Morgan Lisa ran out directly and went crazy, and the mages are all free and easy, and it is difficult for them to work together and unite like the members of the church.

It would be nice if Alsace succeeded to the throne......

The Royal Archmage thought with regret that as a close advisor to King Tenaris, he had some understanding of King Tenaris's attitude towards the heir, and although the king chose his eldest son Godwin as his heir during his lifetime, he never really wanted to pass on the throne to him.

The rumors of the eldest prince assassinating the king may be true.

The archmage looked at Ge Dewen floating in the pillar of light, and thought maliciously.

At this moment, Godwin found himself standing in an endless light.

All around him was a dazzling golden yellow, and in the sky, it seemed as if something was looking down on him, and he could feel that there was scrutiny, appreciation, and pity in the gaze that stared at him.

The gaze seemed to come from another world that was extremely far away, crossing the boundaries of time and space, as if it was close at hand, and as if it was far away at the end of the universe.

That feeling of supremacy made him feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

Is this the deity? Godwin thought.

Mysterious voice: "My child, Godwin, you have done a good job, you have fulfilled the mission I gave you, you have successfully planted the Golden Tree, and the power of the Holy Light has finally taken root in this world. ”

[System Prompt: Complete the Origin Story Quest - [The Birth of the Golden Tree], which is the second step of the [Source of Light] quest line, you have obtained 1000 Story Points and started the next round of the quest. 】

Godwin (King Lordaeron): "Great God of Light, I am glad to be able to serve you, and it is my pleasure to do all this. ”

Mysterious voice: "God of Light? Hehe, do you think that's what is being spoken to by a so-called 'god'? ”

Godwin was puzzled, "Isn't it?" ”

Mysterious voice: "The so-called god of light is only my spokesman in Azeroth, one of my many constituents, a transcendent being who has received some of my powers.

My true identity is far beyond what you think, I am the Holy Light, the master of all the power of the Holy Light, and the true God worshiped by the followers of the Holy Light in thousands of worlds, my will is all over the universe, and the world you are in is just an ordinary corner of the thousands of worlds I control.

My power is too strong to come to your world.

My will is so vast that mortals, once they perceive my presence, will irreversibly assimilate themselves into the Light, becoming part of the Light's power.

It is only through the Golden Sacred Tree that mortals can have a dialogue with me without being harmed, which is an important reason why I want you to plant the Golden Tree.

As for my name, you can call me - Supreme Will. ”

Supreme will! Godwin's heart was extremely excited, even if he could not perceive the existence of the other party, and could only talk through the golden tree, he still felt joy and joy, calm and trembling, and this contradictory emotion appeared in him at the same time.

For the first time, he reverently knelt before the great power, without the slightest thought of confrontation.

O supreme will—only such a title is worthy of a great master.

Mysterious voice: "Your world is a very special existence, a very special point in this universe, so your mission is also extremely important, I want you to transmit the will of the Holy Light to every corner of this world.

Let the brilliance of the Golden Tree illuminate every shadow of this world.

Let your world be baptized with light.

Let the law of the Light replace the law of mortals.

Do you have the courage to accept this sacred mission? ”

Godwin (King Lordaeron): "I do! I'm willing to accept this task! ”

Mysterious voice: "Very well, then go and complete this mission, I will give you strength, real power, not the vain appearance, but-"

Rumble! Godwin felt a buzz in his brain, and his whole person seemed to be penetrated by holy light, and every cell, every drop of blood, and every piece of soul in him was invisible at this moment.

The power of the Holy Light purified the darkness in his heart, every trace of evil thoughts that he lurked in his subconscious, and at this moment he felt as if his soul had been sublimated and purified.

Gosh, is this really just a game? This feeling......

The feeling is completely indescribable, he wants to cry out loud with joy but can't shed tears, he wants to laugh with joy but can't make a sound.

Mysterious voice: "Go, my child, to accomplish your great mission............"

The voice faded away.

Finally, Godwin slowly fell from the pillar of light.

That feeling disappeared with it.

Godwin couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, ah, what an indescribable experience.

As soon as he turned around, several high-ranking members of the kingdom surrounded him.

It was the Royal Archmage who spoke first.

"Ah, Your Majesty Godwin, congratulations on such a miracle, it seems that the Light is strong enough to take on the responsibility of maintaining this world, and the Council of Tirisfa can finally put this burden aside, abandon the mundane chores, and concentrate on the mysteries of magic."

(Isn't your Holy Light Church awesome, then you will carry the burden in the future, and Lao Tzu will not care.) ）

Godwin glanced at the archmage, but smiled indifferently, "Although the power of the Holy Light is enough to take on the responsibility of protecting the world, the kingdom of Lordaeron still needs the assistance of mages, in addition to fighting evil, there are many things that need the help of mages, and the royal family of Lordaeron will continue to support the royal mages." ”

(If you want to go, work for me honestly, unless you don't want the pay.) ）

The archbishop nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the archmage, and said in his heart, you magicians, you will honestly help the church in the future.

At the same time, he was satisfied with Prince Godwin's sophisticated political language.

Playing politics, the emphasis is on fighting but not breaking, no matter how the conflict scene is, you must be able to say.

Alonsos Fao (Archbishop of Light): "Your Majesty, what revelation did the God of Light give you?" ”

Godwin smiled slightly, "First of all, I must clarify that it is not the God of Light who has given me divine enlightenment, but the true great being behind the God of Light, the true master of the power of Light, the Supreme Will.

The so-called God of Light is only the Holy Spirit who controls the power of the Holy Light in our world, and the Supreme Will is the true God who controls the power of the Holy Light in the entire universe. ”

What!

This sentence directly made the archbishop's face look ugly.

This sentence seems light, but for the Church of Light, it is a shock.

In religious organizations, power comes from the interpretation of beliefs, and whoever has the power to interpret beliefs has the right to speak.

Therefore, the doctrine of the Church of the Light is so serious that every word cannot be easily changed.

Not to mention Godwin's words related to the core of the doctrine of who the Holy Light Church believes.

All along, the Church of Light worshipped the God of Light, or the Light itself.

The Holy Light itself is a very broad thing, for the Holy Light Church, the Holy Light is just a power, an energy with a positive meaning, just like the magic of the mages, the Holy Light is certainly worthy of praise, but it is more like a praise of energy.

In the doctrine of light, it is the light that the great God of Light bestows upon them.

The god of light is the object of faith.

Now Godwin has turned everything upside down, the Light itself is an extension of the Supreme Will, and the God of Light is nothing more than a signboard, an administrator.

For the outside world, it doesn't really matter who the boss is, anyway, they all play Holy Light.

But within the church, the right to interpret is the right to rule.

Whoever has the power to interpret doctrine has the power to communicate with God, and he has the power to rule.

In the past, believers believed whatever the church said.

But if all of a sudden the God of Light is denied, is what the church used to say still true?

In the future, it will not become Godwin's words, and believers will believe what they say.

This makes Archbishop Fao how not to be shocked.

Even if you want to say something, we have to discuss it, and after we unify the voice, we can give the believers a reasonable explanation.

For example, the God of Light is the embodiment of the supreme will, the Trinity or something.

If you start talking directly, you're going to snatch the dominance of the Church of Light.

He looked at Godwin seriously, "Your Majesty, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Godwin skimmed him lightly, "Of course I know what I'm talking about, what's the matter, Your Excellency, are you questioning me, your King, the chosen people of the Light?" ”

This time, it was the royal archmage's turn to watch the joke.

The archmage gloated and looked at Archbishop Fao, old fellow, you have today.

Archbishop Fao stared at Godwin for a long time.

Suddenly smiled.

"Of course not, it's just a bit of a temporal to hear such an astonishing truth, His Majesty Godwin is worthy of being chosen by the God of Light to be able to obtain such an amazing divine revelation.

It is a great honor for the Holy Light Church to have access to the Great Supreme Will.

It seems that the Holy Light Church will rely on His Majesty to lead it in the future. ”

Archbishop Fao is very decisive, since you want to compete for the right to interpret the doctrine, then I will directly hand over the Holy Light Church to you to lead, and deeply bind it to the royal power.

What you do in this way is also the achievement of the church.

Inside and out, there is no loss.
