Secretly Learning Spells, the Holy Light Is Fooling You

There were countless spellcasting classes across Azeroth! Rod even considered secretly learning the spells of druids, warlocks, and priests in the future.

With the power of the Holy Light in his left hand, fel energy in his right, arcane brilliance above his head, shadow power at his command, and death and life energies at his side.

He would truly dominate with all six primal forces! It was no dream at all.

Rod rose to his feet in a very friendly manner and waved at the people below the mountain. First, he would fleece these two a little. Paladin spells and frost mage spells, here he came!

Rod had originally only planned to snatch some experience, say hello, and leave, but if Eagle Eye was this useful, he had to seize the opportunity.

Rod planned to travel with the two of them!

After seeing his enemy killed, Arthas froze for a moment before staring warily at the blurry figure atop the mountain, unsure whether the other party was friend or foe.

However, the female mage was the first to reassure the young prince beside her. Anyone who helped them kill those evil undead was, at the very least, not an enemy. His actions had been kind.

Arthas relaxed at those words, sheathed his weapon, and gave the distant figure a slight nod.

He had indeed been too tense just now. Someone who had helped them could not be an enemy, at least not likely.

"I am Arthas Menethil, Prince of Lordaeron. Thank you very much for your assistance, sir."

The language the other party spoke was clearly neither Chinese nor English, yet for some reason, Rod could understand it perfectly.

Perhaps after crossing over, his body had become digitized, and this was one of the benefits brought by the Hero Panel!

Rod summoned a black steed and rode down the slope. Although he had only crossed over a few hours ago, he had already studied his hero attributes.

Like other heroes, he could ride a horse while traveling through the wilderness, while his army was stored in his personal space.

When the newcomer arrived before them, both Arthas and the female mage looked surprised. They had assumed the one who acted was a powerful mage, but his attire was somewhat strange.

He wore an unfamiliar black short-sleeved shirt embroidered with several characters they could not understand at all, along with a pair of loose shorts. He did not even have a staff, making him look exceedingly odd.

"Good day, you two. My name is Rod. You could say I am a traveler?" Rod said with a slight nod.

He really had to thank these two. Without them, he would not have been able to learn Flash of Light and Frostbolt.

If he stayed by their side, he should be able to secretly learn more paladin skills or mage spells, right?

In any case, he had Eagle Eye. If he watched it a few more times, he would surely learn it. His Eagle Eye seemed slightly different from the one in the game.

Not only could he secretly learn from enemy troops, but he could also learn from friendly forces or neutral units.

"Greetings! Thank you for your help, Sir Rod. My name is Jaina Proudmoore. I come from Kul Tiras and am the daughter of the Alliance's Grand Admiral," the female mage said as she stepped forward and performed a mage's salute.

She had just noticed that Rod had not performed a mage's salute when greeting her and Arthas!

Strange! Was he not a mage? Yet the power he had just cast was clearly pure arcane magic, and incredibly powerful at that!

It seemed to be an instant-cast arcane spell, but she had never even seen it in the books of Dalaran!

"So, a princess and prince pairing. You two came here to investigate the Undead Plague, right?

I am a traveler. I passed through the village ahead and found that many villagers had eaten contaminated grain. As a result, they mutated and all turned into undead." Rod briefly described what had happened in the village ahead.

"What! Another village has suffered the blasphemy of the Cult of the Damned? Damn it! If only I had arrived sooner!" Arthas roared, his face livid with fury.

"Calm down, Arthas. This is not like you. We will defeat that necromancer called Kel'Thuzad and save your people," Jaina said.

"Thank you, Jaina. Then, Sir Rod, forgive my presumptuousness, but may I ask who you are? Which country do you come from?" Arthas asked.

On the surface, Rod appeared human, but Arthas had never seen a human with black hair and black eyes. Moreover, Rod's features were clearly different from theirs.

"I do not come from the Seven Human Kingdoms, but from another distant continent, so far away that you cannot imagine it. Its name is Huaxia," Rod said.

Rod had originally wanted to say Pandaria, but Pandaria had pandaren, not descendants of the Eastern Dragon!

"I see. Then thank you for your assistance. If I did not need to continue investigating the Undead Plague, I would certainly invite you to Lordaeron City and personally entertain you, a guest from afar," Arthas said with a nod.

"The Holy Light is fooling you! Those evil creatures are utterly deranged. I witnessed their atrocities with my own eyes." Rod raised his hand and cast Flash of Light upon himself.

A golden pillar of holy light descended from the sky, bathing Rod's entire body in a brilliant golden glow and making him appear exceptionally sacred.

The Holy Light also enveloped everyone present, filling them with warmth. Their recently depleted strength was instantly restored, and all fatigue vanished.

Rod discovered that although the Holy Light spell he had cast was only the most basic Flash of Light, it was far more powerful than the one Arthas had just used.

Without changing his expression, Rod checked the system panel. His two points of Strength granted Flash of Light a 2 × 10 power bonus!

It was equivalent to the multiplier for Magic Arrow, and its recovery effect could even be doubled. His Flash of Light was practically on par with Holy Light.

"May the Holy Light bless us. So you are also a wielder of the Holy Light?" Arthas visibly relaxed, and his attitude toward Rod changed considerably.

Those who wielded the Holy Light were generally not villains, because the Holy Light would not favor any evil existence, especially undead.

"That's right. I am also a wielder of the Holy Light. Prince Arthas, perhaps you could hire me to join your mission and help you fight the undead," Rod said.

"Sir Rod, welcome to my party. I hereby hire you in the name of the Lordaeron royal family," Arthas said warmly, shaking Rod's hand.

When dealing with the Scourge, having another wielder of the Holy Light to help could not be better! He was more than willing to let Rod join his party.

"My pleasure, Your Highness Prince Dummy," Rod said with a smile as he shook Arthas's hand.
