Lightforging originates from Holy Light Force's strengthening of the individual's foundation.

Just like Burning Legion will cast magic on their henchmen, in Highmaul, Diakum has also seen with his own eyes the evil Ogres from Void Force to Cho'gall In the same way as 's shadow casting, there are "Abyssforging" from Death Force, "Arcaneforging" from the force of order, and "Dreamforging" from Life Force.

But Dick knows that the foundation strengthening from the Force cannot be effective in all situations, and they have their own rules and regulations.

Some Force powers are more challenging.

For example, the most demanding Arcane, throughout the official history of nearly 30,000 years, there have not been a few mortals directly blessed by Arcane Force.

Some forces choose to flood with floods.

For example, as long as you embrace Burning Legion, you can get Fel Demonforging, but if you don't pick individuals, the quality of the magic casting will be uneven.

The Lightforging descended by Holy Light is somewhere in between. This ceremony is not as demanding as the blessing of Arcane, but not everyone can complete it. This ceremony requires a "stress test" on the sworn person from both physical and psychological levels.

Once unable to pass this process called "Trial of Virtue", the body and soul of the sworn will be burned up by a huge amount of Holy Light at the same time.

"Lightforging Warrior is very powerful. The blessing from Holy Light will give them more exaggerated Holy Light affinity and energy control from the foundation of the individual, and even change their life form, but such strengthening comes at a price.

Diakum personally showed me the "price" in Mac'Aree's Seat of the Triumvirate."

After Lightforging Ritual started, outside the treatment room, Velen, who maintained Holy Word: Barrier, said to Lelan, who was holding Argus Heart beside him and praying constantly, and his sons Eredath, Yrel and Nubodon said:

"Lightforging's ritual holy power comes directly from the gift of Naaru, so the spirit of Lightforged will be permanently connected to Naaru who presides over Lightforging during the ceremony. But how can a mortal's will remain awake for a long time in front of the divinity of Naaru?

No matter how determined Warrior is to face the holy divinity, he will inevitably end up being "assimilated".

Army of the Light shared the secret of "Lightforging" with us a long time ago. Our three Guardian Naaru prohibited us from doing that. If the Draenor war situation had not been critical, we would not have group Lightforging the veterans of Hand of Argus."

This brief explanation made the recruits nod repeatedly, but soon Nubodon discovered the gist of it. He frowned and said softly:

"Great Prophet, with all due respect, during our long exile, I found that Draenei Clan and Army of the Light seemed to be drifting apart. I couldn't understand it before, but after listening to your explanation, I guess it is because you have discovered some bad clues, so you must deliberately avoid Draenei Clan being too deeply affected by Army of the Light, right?"

"Oh, that's right, Nubodon, you are as sharp as ever."

The old Velen who hosted Holy Word sighed helplessly. He did not explicitly explain Army of the Light's problem, but explained to the recruits in a very vague way:

"Hutton and I both understand that the warriors on the front lines of the fight against the Burning Legion urgently need the support of light. In the eternal war, they need that light to help them strengthen their determination to resist.

But if there is only that light in your eyes, then many good virtues will be ignored.

Children, although Army of the Light rarely mentions the specific process in the battle reports to each clan, in the conversations between the three Guardian Naaru and other Naaru, we have heard about the tragedy of "Light Burial" more than once."

"Light Burial?"

Yrel savored the subtle meaning of this word. She stroked Argus Heart in her hand and whispered:

"You mean, they used Holy Light to burn some worlds?"

"More than once! After confirming that the world cannot be saved from the hands of demons and assessing the risks of continuing to fight, Lightforged Fleet will launch a devastating attack on the target world. When the halo of Light's Judgment shines in the sea of stars Gleam, the demons and lives in those worlds will be given eternal peace in the stream of light as hot as stars.

In the beginning, this was just to give those worlds their final dignity. Unfortunately, in recent thousands of years, their war style has become more "radical"."

The old prophet obviously disapproved of this method of war, but recruit Yrel felt that it was actually not bad. If a world was really poisoned by demons and could not be saved, using Holy Light to ignite it would not be a bad idea.

But Velen's last words made Eredath shudder. He scratched the famous Holy Crest on his chest and whispered:

"Father, do you mean that they have generalized this "Light Burial extinction"?"

Velen nodded with a heavy expression and said:

"They call it a "necessary sacrifice." The warriors of Army of the Light are still holy, and they will still do their best to rescue every world worth saving, but in some cases, the persistence of victory or defeat will overwhelm the sacrifice of rescue.

Especially when the benefits of the two are not proportional, tragedy often occurs.

For example, the situation of Draenor.

Such a large-scale mass degeneration has occurred in the main race of this world, Orcs. If War Horde really starts to bloodbath the world and tries to turn this place into a place of filth, then Lightforged Fleet will not hesitate when its main gun roars after completing the necessary rescue."

Velen sighed and said:

"For some Eredar Star Sea Clan with a tough style, this Army of the Light is more in line with their expectations for revenge. Carrying Argus's ancient hatred, they hope to see their enemies mourn in the light of sanctions, but Church of the Holy Light ours is not just punishment, protection and redemption are equally important.

Therefore, not only Draenei Clan, but also some rational Eredar clan have maintained a subtle distance from Army of the Light in the past 20,000 years.

Our three Guardian Naarus are all rationalists, and therefore they rejected the proposal to use Lightforging on a large scale.

First of all, Draenei, as the sentinel that attracts Burning Legion's attention, most of the time needs to hide himself more than fighting.

Secondly, the three Naaru are also very worried about the changes in the Draenei Clan. They themselves have no confidence in the unknown consequences of mortal Warrior establishing mental connections with them on a large scale.

Naarus also know that this is risky.

In addition, the three Naaru have protected us for more than 20,000 years in exile. They are already exhausted and unable to complete the Lightforging Ritual that requires a lot of holy power to complete, so this knowledge has been shelved."

"But Diakum the Saint is not Naaru, at least not completely Naaru."

Yrel touched her wrist and said:

"The spiritual connection with him shouldn't lead to extreme situations like Army of the Light, right?"

"No one can be sure that Vigilant's demon-slaying will is no less than that of those fanatical purifiers, and I have heard from Archbishop Nali about some of Diakum's own "hidden dangers." Our Saint is also facing the conflict between humanity and Naaru's divinity.

Therefore, this is the only time!"

The prophet looked at Maraad in front of him and Lightforging Ritual advanced to a deeper level. He said to the others in an unquestionable tone:

"I cannot allow Draenei to lose an outstanding leader like Diakum, so all the necessary Lightforging Ritual will be completed by Lady Kara. I will not allow Vigilant to strip away his own mind and go to Lightforging for more Warrior.

Although he certainly has such Consecration will, we cannot accept such a noble sacrifice with peace of mind.

What's more, this is totally worth the loss!"

The conversation between old Velen and the new recruits could be heard by Dick. He felt the prophet's protection for him and recognized Velen's vigilance. But at this time, he could not respond because Maraad's battle in the spiritual space had reached the final stage.

Of course, those are weakened BOSS, otherwise no matter how powerful Great Uncle is, it would be impossible to defeat Annihilator Argus alone, but Dick has always been strict in combat, and it was not that easy for Great Uncle to pass. He almost exhausted all his methods and used up all his holy power to fight against the illusion of Extinguisher.

At the moment Maraad won, a prompt consisting of beating golden runes appeared in front of Diakum's eyes:

[Lightforging Ritual/Voter Trial has ended!

You have chosen a heroic soul to use you as the medium to complete the connection with Holy Light Force. Your Holyforged Will will be bound to your chosen one after the ceremony is completed. He will become an extension of your Holyforged Will, will become your spokesperson walking in the world, and will also become the connection point between you and Material World and the "Hand of the Vigilant" that changes the world.

Tip!

This ritual is the unique ability of the mythical creature Naaru. Your transformation into the mythical creature has not yet been completed, so the strengthening effect of Lightforging Ritual will be weakened.

Tip!

This ritual involves the distribution of powers given to demigod creatures in the realm of the Force. Your life form has not yet entered a demigod, so you cannot activate a series of power delegation and extraction related to the "chosen people".

When you enter the demigod level, your "Holy Light Morality: Hand of Fate" can delegate the weakening power to your voters, and your voters' Holy Light Doctrine can also be extracted to temporarily strengthen your combat effectiveness.

When you enter the demigod level, your chosen ones can choose some of your legendary/mythical talents to inherit according to their different life levels.

When you enter the demigod level, your legend/Mythic Class will be open to your voters for learning in the form of "Path of the Vigilant".

Tip!

After having the "Chosen", your unique understanding of the way of Holy Light will be summarized as the new "Faith Faction" in the form of "Holy Word".

Your thoughts will be perceived by other Holy Light Walker in the field of the Force during meditation and bursts of inspiration.

Your voters will provide you with a certain amount of "Faith Feedback" through their words and deeds. This is a unique combat resource. The corresponding usage method can be unlocked in the power given to the Force demigod by Holy Light.

Tip!

By hosting Lightforging Ritual, you will have a deeper understanding of the mythical creature Naaru, and your Mythic Race transformation will speed up!

By hosting Lightforging Ritual, you gained some insights about [Mythic Class·Loa].

By hosting Lightforging Ritual, you gained some insights about [Mythic Class·Radiant Holy Spirit/Grand Lord of Holy Oaths].

Because Holy Light enlightened you about the mystery of the Force, and the void also gave you the truth, you gained some insights about [Mythic Class·Void Herald/Devourer of Worlds].

Warning!

Because of hosting Lightforging Ritual, your degree of sanctification has deepened, and the divinity of Naaru will further assimilate your mind. Please improve your personal life level as soon as possible.

Warning!

You will be able to sense the thinking and spiritual fluctuations of your chosen ones. Because of the special connection between the spirits of both parties, the thinking of the chosen ones will affect your thinking to a certain extent. This can weaken your mental separation in the sanctified state, but it will also deepen your mental alienation when you fall into mental vulnerability.

Special tips!

The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!

Please improve your understanding of the path of "Light-Dark Twinborn", and you will be able to resist divine assimilation to a certain extent.

Tip!

Because you are not a demigod being, the number of Vigilant faction·Lightforging voters you can currently have is [2/2], and the specific distribution is [Lura(1/1), K'ure(1/1).

When you enter the demigod level, the number of Vigilant faction·Lightforging voters will gradually increase according to the degree of power given by Holy Light, but the basic members will not be less than 10 people.]

A series of prompts made Diakum, who was in the "cold sanity" state of sanctification, frown.

Sure enough, this Lightforging Ritual is not just Holy Light's reward for Force Walkers, it actually involves the factional struggle at the Holy Light Doctrine level. It seems that the factional confrontation between Naaru is also quite fierce.

This is also understandable.

The group of violent Naaru brothers who crossed the borders of the Force countless years ago and sang the Holy Song expedition Land of the Dead and beat the dead dogs until they cried for their fathers and mothers, are definitely not the same group as today's rational Naarus.

Compared with those violent Naaru who turned one third of a Land of the Dead into Light Burial ferocious earth, the Mother of Light Xe'ra magic stick can be considered a "moderate".

It can only be said that mortals' understanding of this unique creature like Naaru is still somewhat one-sided.

However, it was an unexpected blessing to get five Mythic Class career change routes at once, although from Diakum's point of view, there were only two choices left for him.

None of this is a problem!

At least it is not a problem that I need to face now, and Dick is very curious. It is understandable that Maraad was Lightforging by myself, but who is my other voter? How come there are Lightforgeds in this Draenor world that I have not discovered?

So mysterious?

So, little Yrel who cannot become "Holy Light Tyrant", when are you going to tell your mentor and commander in chief the "little secret" you have been hiding in your heart?

Vigilant completed Lightforging Ritual, but Maraad was still in a deep sleep and needed a while to wake up. Seeing that Saint was very weak after exiting the ceremony, Yrel waggled his little tail and stepped forward to help him go to the room next to him to rest.

"Saint, Lightforged. Are they very powerful?"

After handing Vigilant a glass of water with a strange attentive attitude, she said curiously:

"Maraad seems to have been transformed all of a sudden. Although he has not yet awakened, I can feel that his power has crossed the limit of a legend. Draenei Clan has another legend Garrison Commander."

"Maraad's talent is very good, Holy Light likes him very much, but it's not because of my intervention."

Dick rubbed his forehead, feeling the unique experience of connecting with the voters' thoughts in his mind, and explained:

"The power of Lightforged is indeed all-round. It will directly strengthen your basic attributes and raise the upper limit of your talents. This is also the reason why Army of the Light can defend Holy Light Domain in the face of the fierce Burning Crusade. In a sense, Lightforged is no longer a mortal.

They draw power directly from Holy Light Force, just like the devil maintains a connection with Twisting Nether at all times."

"Uh, Saint, I actually have been hiding something from you."

Yrel touched his arm uneasily.

Then, under Diakum's "Sure enough" gaze, she took off her arm armor, allowing Dick to see the strange lines on the girl's arms.

"Is this a sacred pattern?"

Vigilant carefully distinguished the lines on Yrel's arms and said:

"When did it appear?"

"Just a few days after I became "Hand of K'ure"."

Yrel whispered uneasily:

"Not only my arms, but also my chest, waist, abdomen, legs and back had such holy marks. I didn't notice them at first, thinking they were scars from battle, or something Samara saw when he helped me tie a bandage.

I originally thought it was just some kind of blessing from K'ure the Crown to me before it died, but after seeing Lightforging Ritual of Maraad, I realized that those Hand of Argus veterans might not be the first Lightforged of the Draenei Clan.

I am!

K'ure the Crown left me not just a power, it used its last holy power Lightforging to me, which can also explain why my power has grown faster than I imagined in recent times.

There are even some signs of losing control.

I can always see the brilliance of sacred geometry that only Naarus have in my dreams. The most important thing is that I don't seem to have experienced spiritual Trial of Virtue.

Is this normal?"

"Trial of Virtue was born based on Naaru's own Holy Light Doctrine. K'ure the Crown has fallen. It's normal that you don't get Trial of Virtue, but not going through the spiritual trial of Holy Light will make it impossible for you to truly complete Lightforging."

Dick deliberately made a serious face to scare Yrel, then put down the water glass and said:

"But the good news is that I inherited the core of K'ure the Crown, so it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Are you ready? Experience Trial of Virtue hosted by me just like Maraad, and become my true voter."

"Of course I'd be happy to do that, Saint!"

Yrel is very carefree and not worried at all.

She put on the arm armor and patted her chest while getting ready and said:

"You have always been my idol, and now our relationship is even closer, which is a great thing!"

"Alas, you young people simply don't understand where my worries come from. My stubbornness and radicalness in purifying evil may very well affect you.

"Fanasia" is a stubborn disease that Holy Light Walker has always had that is difficult to eradicate."

Dick glared at Yrel and said:

"You may even embark on the "road of tyrant" destined for your destiny."

"What, what, what? Me? Tyrant! No way! I am such a kind-hearted Draenei and I am so picky, how can I be so powerful? You must be intimidating me again. Is this another kind of protective intimidation from the old men?"

"Shut up! Find a place to lie down, relax, and prepare to start your Trial of Virtue. I know from the look of you full of energy that I have to arrange some strong enough opponents for you to help you calm down.

So, brave Yrel, would you like to try the "Burning Legion Trial Gift Pack" of "Destroyer·Mannoroth", "Fraudster·Kil'jaeden" and "Polluter·Archimonde"?

You're welcome.

I can arrange it, and I'm happy to do it."
