(Additional update for brother "Huo Zhengtinghao" [13/15])
"So this is the correct usage of Faith Power?"
In Stormwind Cathedral, Diakum in Meditation Room opened his eyes. The experience of "soul leaving the body, Soul Out of Body, Spiritual Realm Journey" just now was very novel, but the good news is that what Old Gani taught him is true.
He temporarily created a "Divine Warrior" and used his holy power to strengthen a wave of Old Chen, allowing him to temporarily change his job to "Sun Soul Sect". These two guys were enough to make some noise in Lordaeron.
But to be honest, this is not enough.
With the current situation in Northern Borderlands rapidly deteriorating, not everyone can come to the Stormwind Kingdom smoothly, and Northern Borderlands those who are forced to stay also need a long-term shelter.
But today's supply of Faith Power has been used up, and Diakum is currently unable to use "Divine Descent" again. Fortunately, Faith Power's recovery speed is not bad, and it will be enough for him to use "Demigod Authority" again in a few hours.
"Bang"
There was a knock on the door, causing Dick to raise his head and see Twins pushing the door open and coming in.
These two guys have been recuperating on Exodar before. Their change of path will bring them a period of energy weakness. Moreover, they are both injured and will not be able to return to their full strength for a while.
Because of Neri, Dick did not interfere too much in this process. Although the archbishop said he didn't care, Vigilant is not a hopeless straight man after all.
He still knows a little about women's hearts.
Although I don't know much.
"Commander Diakum, in the past twelve hours, seven Fel Rifts have appeared in the Stormwind Kingdom, all in the areas controlled by Green Skins Orcs. Although no powerful demon commander has appeared yet, this is already a bad sign.
We must immediately deploy our Lightforged to defend strategic nodes."
Oreses serious report:
"The merger of Green Skins Orcs and the devil is an inevitable result. Soon, they will try to start a second Stormwind war."
"There is enough material on Exodar Ship to configure some necessary Auchenai Crystal Tower for the city during the reconstruction of Stormwind."
Saloras answered:
"That is Crystal Tower improved by Army of the Light. It uses Holy Light Crystal as energy source and can cause considerable damage to demons and other negative energy creatures.
In addition, I have given a design drawing of the permanent "Holyforged Barrier" to the architects in the city. They said that the participation of mages is needed to integrate this enchantment into the establishment of the new city.
My sister and I have observed that you don't seem to want us to get involved in the war between the Stormwind Kingdom and Green Skins Orcs, right?"
"Well, we don't have enough troops."
Diakum explained:
"Therefore, compared to the low-intensity threat between humans and Orcs, we have to focus on the defensive confrontation of demons. You two are here just in time. I have something important to discuss with you two."
He pointed to the meditation cushion in front of him. Twins did not show the "emotional" state that he had at Chamber of Heart that day. They sat on the cushion seriously like very professional leaders and commanders, listening to Diakum's questions.
Vigilant said:
"Have you ever participated in the Faith Faction management of Naarus in Army of the Light?"
"Well, Mother of Light's Faith Faction is managed by the two of us, but to be honest, there is nothing to deal with. Before we joined Army of the Light, Xe'ra's Faith Faction was already very prosperous."
Saloras, wearing a black gold-rimmed cassock, explained:
"The star field where Army of the Light is now is the religious base of Xe'ra. Before going to support Argus, she was already the co-owner of the faith in that star field. Primal Naaru has endless time to deal with this matter. The more than 60 civilizations she has protected are all ethnic groups with a deep connection with Holy Light.
Therefore, the belief of Army of the Light is not so much a dogma as it is the ancient tradition of that star region.
It's easy to manage."
"Do you want to hand over the management of Light Weaver Faction's faith to our sisters?"
Oreses looked at Diakum and she said seriously:
"This is a very important responsibility, Commander Diakum. For Holy Light Walker who has self-righteousness, the management of Faith Faction is directly related to the speed and quality of your acquisition of Faith Power.
Although Faith Power is rarely used in combat, it is indeed the most important power of the Force demigod.
My sister and I have seen the process of Xe'ra using Faith Power to strengthen "God Chosen", and Mother of Light also told us that if we want to become Lesser God in the Holy Light field, the passionate and loyal faith of tens of millions of people is absolutely indispensable.
Even if we Holy Light Walker do not need to rely on Faith Power for existence like Loa, Holy Light is the force most closely connected with faith in this sea of stars. Without a strong enough faith foundation, even if you become Lesser God, it will be difficult to represent the collective will of People of Light."
Speaking of this, Twins hesitated.
Saloras said softly:
"In fact, there is a saying that has been circulating among Light Cosmic Domain. When the beliefs of tens of millions of people point to the same goal, the god chosen by Primal Light will appear. The light of tens of millions of people converge on one person, lighting up "Crown of God" for him or her.
You know, Lesser God has not appeared in the Holy Light field so far. If I have to say it, Xe'ra is probably the closest existence to Lesser God."
"This is the first time I've heard such a statement."
Vigilant rubbed his chin and said:
"But Xe'ra clearly has a believer in the universe who obeys its moral principles. Logically speaking, she should be able to do it."
"Xe'ra voluntarily gave up the possibility of becoming Lesser God."
Saloras explained:
"She has been working hard for the prophecy of "Light-Dark Child" since she was born. Therefore, she wants to leave that glory and power to the real Light-Dark Child."
It's quiet in Meditation Room.
Diakum doesn't quite believe this statement, but considering Xe'ra's stubbornness, it doesn't seem impossible.
"Actually, after completing the path change, my sister and I had a certain feeling."
Oreses looked around, lowered his voice and said:
"Perhaps Xe'ra has indeed gone astray, and even though she has a prosperous Faith Faction, she cannot use it to gather light and step onto a higher path. She is too persistent in Light-Dark Child's prophecy, which may have affected her path. After all, prophecy is not the domain of Holy Light.
Moreover, you may not have noticed, but Holy Light is the only field among all the One in the Force that has not given birth to Lesser God. In other words, once the first Holy Light Lesser God is born, he can control all the power of the Force, just like the lofty status of Sargeras in Fel Force.
This means that the power of Lesser God, the first in the Holy Light field, is absolutely extraordinary, and may even touch the field of "True God"."
"Impossible."
Diakum shook his head and denied:
"Holy Light is not a force known for its destructive power. Even if the true god Holy Light is born, he will never be Sargeras's opponent in a one-on-one battle. That guy is the absolute pinnacle of power in the material universe.
No one can compete with Him in this regard except Supreme Star Soul.
Well, this topic is not the point.
I really want to hand over the management of Light Weaver Faction's faith to the two of you. You are the most suitable people and the people I trust. The most important thing is that you have been lost in the light like me. This means that you are in charge of the power of faith. At least I don't have to worry about my followers turning into extremely evil people like Army of the Light."
Twins did not agree immediately.
But this does not mean rejection. The two sisters have a unique and innate telepathy, which means that even Diakum cannot eavesdrop on the "encrypted conversation" between them.
Of course, with his high moral standards, he would not eavesdrop on the private conversations between sisters.
After a moment, Twins nodded at the same time.
"Then, I will manage the "Lightsworn" faction."
Oreses said:
"My sister follows your shadow path, and she will manage your "Shadewalker" faction in the void."
"Have you made up your mind?"
Diakum looked at Saloras and said:
"You have spent the past 20,000 years in a world of light. I am worried that you will be lost in the darkness."
"You are Path Liege, I just need to follow your footsteps."
Saloras blinked, and under Diakum's gaze, she called out to Shadow Convergence, and entered Shadowform very smoothly. Coupled with her own demigod strength, Sea of Darkness gave her "defection" an extreme welcome. Even Diakum could hear the substantial torrent of shadows gathering.
Dark Archon's light mark danced on Saloras's forehead. When she opened her eyes, a wisp of Void Entropy could also turn into shadow orbs and float on both sides of her shoulders.
"The shadows whisper to me."
Saloras said:
"But it did not confuse me, but required me to firm my mind and use dark means to protect the world under the light. It is really magical! I have heard of the existence of Shadow Word before, but because your path has been established, Shadow Word has become strange."
"Don't be immersed in it, be as wary of the incoming void as you are wary of the evil thoughts in your heart."
Dick reminded me.
He noticed that because both Faith Faction, Lightsworn and Shadewalker, were appointed "Archbishops", the speed of Faith Power's recovery was faster than he thought. Unfortunately, the upper limit was still only a pitiful little bit.
No way, Light Weaver Faction's Light-Shadow Twinborn concept is still a bit too "advanced", and ordinary believers don't dare to play so big.
"I'm worried about the situation of Quel'Thalas. The Sunwell owned by the High Elfs is a "natural portal" comparable to Well of Eternity in the evil Magic Eye. Polluter will never miss it."
Dick said:
"I want to do "Faith Incarnation" again, leaving my vigilant eyes in High Elf."
"Well, then please excuse us and leave."
Twins stood up and left Meditation Room.
But just when Diakum was about to say "Divine Descent" again, the voice of Saloras suddenly came to his ears.
"Are you so serious today because Archbishop Nali has been observing here with "Eagle Eye"? She seems to be worried that you will be robbed by two bad women with ulterior motives at some point.
But the strange thing is that she knew it was only a matter of time but did not take the initiative to stop it, and did not even intend to declare sovereignty. I also couldn't figure out whether she was encouraging us sisters to do some bad things, and the return of emotions did make my sister and I a little restless.
But the focus is not on Neri, the focus is on you.
The shadow is whispering to me, asking me to release a certain desire in my heart, saying that this is the virtue of vanity. You know that meeting the needs of believers is also a mission that the Beloved Lord must undertake, right?
Look, we've even found the steps for you.
Of course not now, we are still weak and cannot bear the whipping of Holy Gun."
Amid light laughter, Diakum watched with helplessness as the "Divine Descent Technique" that he mishandled turned into a stream of light Dispersion, and then glanced at the vent high above Meditation Room.
Sure enough, Neri's pet Holy Sun made a nest there.
"Mom, Holy Light, please be merciful. Is this Shura field also a trial arranged by you?"
"This is Trial of Valor descended from Holy Light!"
In the palace of Lordaeron City, Bishop Benedictus, who became famous in one battle today, was persuading King Terenas who looked tired:
"Northern Borderlands became a land of demons because of our carelessness in dealing with the spread of Magic Plague. Even though we invited back the foreign Forest Sprite Sage as quickly as possible, there are still too many people's hearts tainted by fear.
This is a tragedy.
But we can still save it now!
Your Majesty, please immediately organize the civilians in the country to go to Whispering Shore. I have received the enlightenment from Vigilant Saint. The fleet of Kul Tiras will arrive there soon and send the people to the safer mainland Southern Borderlands and take shelter in the dwarf port.
Ironforge has also sent us a signal.
His Majesty, the Dwarf King Magni, said that he will try his best to accommodate our civilians and stay temporarily in Khaz Modan.
The devil's offensive has not yet fully launched."
"Benedictus Bishop, of course I believe that you are dedicated to the noble character of the people."
King Terenas on the throne looked at the bishop in front of him, wrapped in Holy Light and covered in blood, with a complicated expression.
After today's miracle, Benedictias has become the well-deserved "spiritual leader" of this troubled city. He and another "Sun Soul Sect Wanderer" with mysterious origins have almost saved less than half of the city.
Even the king could not ignore his opinion at this time.
"But this is not a simple issue of asylum, Bishop. It involves a series of complex political issues."
At this time, King Terenas, who has reached middle age and is in the prime of life, said a little irritably:
"I know that believers like you don't care about politics, but can you let me think about it for a while longer?"
"No!"
Benedictus is a regional bishop after all, so of course he knows what King Terenas is worried about.
He looked at this king. Terenas II was full of courage, flexible and tough. He knew how to unite the nobles and be kind to the people. Lordaron Kingdom has become the most powerful kingdom in mankind today, which is inseparable from his leadership.
But this king's obsession with power is really frustrating.
Especially after the news from the Stormwind Kingdom that Anduin Lothar was preparing to rebuild the empire, the king's temper has fluctuated greatly recently.
Even if he did not publicly express his opinion on this matter, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the king would not allow this to come true.
"The prerequisite for political existence is that Lordaron Kingdom must exist, Your Majesty!"
Benedictus shouted loudly:
"Open your eyes and see, our royal city is being besieged by demons! There will be more demons in Tirisfal area every hour than before, and they will soon destroy the farms and destroy the villages.
Andorhal, Stratholme City, Light's Hope Chapel and Tyr's Hand, all the big cities in the kingdom are under attack!
If you continue like this, you will soon have no people left to rule!"
"How presumptuous! If I don't listen to you, will I, Lordaeron, be subjugated tomorrow?"
King Terenas was also angered. He stood up and was about to scold Bishop Benedictus for his arrogance, but suddenly he saw Lord Daval, whom he trusted, coming quickly under the leadership of his daughter.
In front of his "prospective son-in-law", the king suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"We will discuss this matter again! I will give you an answer tomorrow. Bishop, please go and appease the people first. Later, attendants will send food and medicine to the cathedral. It is necessary to appease the people's emotions, and we must not cause more trouble at this time."
The bishop looked disappointed, but he cheered up after receiving the king's promise. He bowed to salute Lord Daval who came over, but when he stood up, Bishop Benedictus frowned.
He had no feeling before, but after Vigilant consecrated him to unlock his potential, the bishop suddenly felt that there was a dark power in Lord Daval that made people uncomfortable.
Very faint, but very real!
"I can explain! The evil aura you sensed should be this."
Lord Daval also noticed Benedictus's hand touching the hilt of the sword at his waist. The lord took a step back, took something out of his bag and put it in the palm of his hand. He said with horror on his face:
"This is the gift they gave me in return after I helped the elves of Quel'Thalas. It is said to be an evil artifact collected by High Elf from the Burning Legion in War of the Ancients, but it has been purified by Sunwell.
The elves call it "Shadow Eye".
According to the words of the elves Grand Magus, it is said that as long as another "Holy Eye" is found, they can be used to make a real holy object. They also said that this was what the Priestess of the Moon told Priestess of the Moon before High Elf split from the Kaldorei."
Lord Daval explained:
"I came in a hurry today, so I didn't have time to leave it at home, which surprised you."
"Well, it does come from the power of darkness. Good people like you must be careful of the temptation of darkness."
The bishop felt the dark atmosphere just now from the weird black crystal in front of him. He nodded and said seriously:
"This is a time when the city cannot afford any more shocks."
"That's why I'm here! I have something to tell my noble Majesty, but if this thing is really so dangerous, then it's better to leave it to someone like you Saint to purify it."
Lord Daval seemed frightened.
He threw the thing to Benedictus like a hot potato, waved his hand and said:
"I'm just a weak ordinary person. Although the elves are kind-hearted, I can't bear such dangerous things. In addition, my servant is sending food to the church. You should hurry up and receive it."
When the bishop saw how determined Lord Daval was, he accepted it and left quickly.
Lord Daval squinted his eyes and looked at the Holy Light on Benedictus that made him feel a little bit of danger. He made a decision in his heart, turned around, and said to his "prospective father-in-law" with a serious expression:
"The demon has invaded and the situation is anxious. Your Majesty, I will keep the story short. I have a way to give your knights enough power to fight against the demon and defend the kingdom! But there are certain risks.
I didn't intend to tell you Prestor Family's secret. This was to protect you and the kind-hearted Jialiya, but I can't say no now."
Under the king's puzzled gaze, Lord Daval whispered:
"Have you ever heard of the legend of "Dragonborn"?
In fact, the true identity of the Prestor Family is the blood of the dragon, and there is a Dragonborn mage in my family who can share this powerful power with your Warriors. Once the brave Warriors of the kingdom obtain the power of the dragon, no mere demon can even think of destroying your kingdom.
And as long as the legal system of Lordaeron stands here, no damn Second Empire can even think of taking away what is in our hands."
The king dismissed the legend of Dragonborn.
This was a strange saying that suddenly spread among Northern Borderlands in recent years, but his Royal Mage told him that it was all outrageous rumors, but the second half of Lord Daval's sentence really made him narrow his eyes.
He looked at his prospective son-in-law and said:
"About "Dragonborn". Elaborate."
