Gentleman

"Ding, quest discovered: Gentleman!

The Gentleman is too much! He plays tricks on Lordaeron's constables every year, leaving Janice frustrated and helpless! You are a gourmet, and Janice happens to be a good cook! Thus, you hit it off!"

Heaven knows why the Gentleman likes this thing!

"Accept Quest!"

Taelan Fordring accepted the task of killing that detestable wild boar, not because he was a gourmet, of course. But Janice's cooking was indeed incredibly delicious!

Taelan said to Tirion Fordring, "Father, this Gentleman is so interesting! Why don't we go and have a good talk with it!"

Tirion Fordring looked at his son holding his hand and gently shaking it. His son's cute little face was smiling. If he hadn't licked his lips, it would have been even better!

Tirion Fordring smiled dotingly, "Alright, Taelan, after we finish eating, I'll go and have a good talk with it!"

Taelan Fordring said, "Father, I want to go too!"

Tirion Fordring had experienced many great battles, so he naturally didn't think a wild boar could harm his son under his protection. He thought for a moment, "As long as your mother doesn't find out!"

Janice watched the father and son interact and smiled, "My Lord, this is too much trouble for you! Be sure to be careful and don't let little Taelan get hurt!" Obviously, she didn't think a wild boar could harm a powerful Paladin. But being kind, she still reminded Taelan to be careful.

After reminding Taelan to return to the farm to rest early, Janice tempted them again with delicious food. John would be back in the evening, and he would surely have a drink with Tirion.

The father and son inquired about the Gentleman. It often appeared north of Felstone Farm, bordering the mountains, and the Gentleman lived in a hidden cave.

The father and son walked along the small path in the farm towards the mountains. At this time, Tirion had already taken out his warhammer and began to explain the knight's combat skills and the path of the Holy Light to Taelan. Taelan Fordring quietly opened his skill book and learned the Aura of Might from the Offensive Aura.

Might

When activated, increases your and your teammates' attack damage

Current Skill Level: 8

Radius: 20 yards

Damage: +110%

After Tirion finished explaining how to summon the Holy Light, he began to teach his son Wilderness Survival skills, such as how to hide footprints, how to find water in the wild, and how to deal with ambushes. He also said that Taelan would have to learn to make and use bandages when they got back.

"Ding, through the diligent explanation of Paladin Tirion Fordring, you have learned the life passive skill:

Wilderness Survival (Beginner)

Your Perception increases by 3 points, and your resistance to diseases also improves.

With this, you can live a little longer than others."

As they were talking, the father and son stopped simultaneously. Taelan Fordring raised his shield and drew his short sword. Tirion also raised his great warhammer.

At this moment, a fierce wind blew from Taelan's left. A black shadow pounced out of the grass like lightning. It was a Lordaeron Wolf. Not only was the physical fitness of humans in this world much stronger than that of Earthlings, but even wild animals were fiercer and stronger than those on Earth. These wolves would later become victims of the undead plague, and they were called Diseased Wolves. However, these wolves were not at such a high level yet. Taelan Fordring's body instinctively overcame his fear, raised his shield, and activated the skill Mortal Strike.

Mortal Strike: Strike the enemy with your shield, causing them to be stunned for a short period.

Current Skill Level: 8

Damage: +120%

Stun Duration: 2 seconds

Mana Cost: 2

Taelan raised his shield. Although his movements were not standard, and his reaction speed was half a beat slower due to his fear of facing a ferocious beast for the first time, this divine skill, which looked like a shield attack technique, somewhat similar to a Warrior's Shield Bash from the defense talent tree, was actually a magic spell with a 100% hit rate. The hungry wolf had already turned its head to dodge, but it was still hit squarely on the nose! This was equivalent to a critical hit.

Tirion Fordring had already prepared to use the Holy Light to help his son. He thought his son wouldn't hit the wolf, as this was his first time facing a beast head-on! But the wolf's nose took a heavy blow. The battle-hardened Fordring was certain that it was a powerful combat skill, and a unique combat skill with a personal style. His son could comprehend a unique ability at such a young age. This made him immensely proud.

Taelan Fordring's Mortal Strike hit. Taking advantage of the wolf's brief stun, he raised his sword with his right hand and slashed down heavily. To ensure a stable hit, Taelan didn't greedily aim for the wolf's neck but slashed at its left foreleg. The stunned wolf couldn't dodge and was immediately struck by the sword. Its glossy gray fur was instantly stained red with blood. It quickly retreated. Due to the injury to its left leg, its movements slowed down, and its dodging became distorted.

Seeing his son gain the upper hand and cleverly attack the opponent's leg, Fordring didn't move. He held his great hammer and stood guard. Taelan, having landed a hit, saw the hungry wolf retreat and quickly put his shield forward to protect himself, pursuing sideways and swinging his sword again. Through the previous exchange, the wolf knew that this little guy's strength was no less than that of those robust farmers, and he was particularly cunning. Now, its nose felt as if it were broken. Seeing the little guy swing his sword again, it quickly dodged and counterattacked at the fastest speed, lunging for Taelan's throat. Taelan, after the round of offense and defense, gradually overcame his fear. The man's bloodlust within him was ignited, and he became excited! Seeing the wolf pounce, he activated Mortal Strike again.

With a loud bang. The guaranteed hit attribute was truly unfair. The hungry wolf let out a mournful howl, abandoned its prey, and turned to run. Tirion Fordring immediately raised his right hand, and a Holy Light shone. A magical warhammer directly smashed onto the wolf's head - Hammer of Justice. Taking advantage of the wolf's stun, Taelan raised his short sword and struck the hungry wolf's throat, killing it.

Tirion Fordring patted Taelan Fordring's head and said, "You truly are my son! Your way of using the shield is truly amazing! I am now certain that you will become a powerful and noble Paladin!"

"Child, you must use your great power cautiously in the future!"

Taelan Fordring suddenly received a message: "My son, on the day you were born, the entire forest of Lordaeron whispered this name; Arthas!"

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and then father and son burst into laughter! Their happy laughter echoed far and wide!

Tirion Fordring skinned the wolf's hide with a Skinning Knife. Then he said to Taelan, "Son, this is the first prey you've caught. You can take it back as a souvenir!"

Taelan Fordring said, "Father, I want to ask Alton to help me make a wolfskin rug for Mother. She always sleeps poorly on winter nights."
