Just as Little Anduin was preparing Coronation Ceremony, Dick, wearing a black ceremonial robe, was talking to two special guests.
His current physical condition has hardly improved compared to before. Let alone fighting, even for daily walking, he needs Jaina and Liadrin to support him. Where can he still have Dawn Knight? pressure, but his mentality is not bad. In fact, after more than three years of busy work, he is quite satisfied with the time he has now to take a break from the busy life, especially the two confidantes who have spent a lot of time with him recently, which gives his soul a sense of calmness besides being irritable.
And Dick had a hunch that Holy Light... the guy who specifically asked Tirion Fordring and Mograine to give him a message would probably leave him alone.
This is probably the benefit of having a big boss covering you.
During the most intense period of the Northern Frontier war, Anduin had been staying in Karazhan. With the protection of Undead and Meryl who were currently loyal to Med'an, that tower was considered one of the safest places in the world.
And the two mysterious guys who escorted Anduin all the way back to Theramore from Elwynn Forest are now sitting opposite Dick. Med'an who came with them has already gone to talk to his grandmother. Well, Ms. Aegwynn still has the same weird temper that she always said. At least in this Royal Court, except for giving Crown Princess the necessary respect and giving Jaina the necessary teachings, she has almost no interaction with other people.
"Ahem, I heard about the child Anduin. I have to thank you, the upright Pandaren Monk. If it weren't for you, my disciples and I would have gone through a very difficult time."
Dick coughed twice, his face was still as ugly as before, but after getting used to this Operation mode of having to "take your time" in everything, his demeanor turned out to be Dick Tranquility a lot, the murderous aura cultivated over the years on the battlefield was slowly dissipated, and replaced with an awe-inspiring aura, using the Senxia that returned from South Seas two days ago In the words of Captain, it is "more and more majestic than Bigwigs."
And Dick could see the real basis of the "Bearfolk" spoken by these two Garonas at almost a glance. This was not Bearfolk, it was clearly Mists Continent Pandaria, the indigenous Pandaren, a mysterious and powerful hidden race.
The two people sitting in front of him were also plot characters that Dick once liked very much: the powerful Monk Chen Stormstout from Wandering Isle, and his niece Li Li Stormstout.
These two Pandaren are very popular in the game. In the original history, Chen Stormstout was a traveler and wine connoisseur who traveled around the world. He helped Magni King repelled the intruder Dark Iron Dwarves, and even held the world's first Brewfest as a result. He also helped Thrall, Rexxar and others, and killed Admiral who tried to destroy Orcs. Daelin, a few years later, when the second Orcs Warchief Garrosh-Grommash Hellscream attempted to assassinate Vol'jin, he was saved once by Chen Stormstout.
In short, this is a truly free traveler and a Hero who left his own footprints in the history of Azeroth.
Unfortunately, in the new world dominated by Dick, Chen Stormstout missed too many things. Maybe he still traveled around the world, but there are not so many famous legends left. However, this cannot change Dick's joy at the arrival of Chen Stormstout. After all, this was his favorite character.
Facing Dick's thanks, Chen Stormstout politely wanted to stand up and respond. This traveler is a good-tempered person and does not have the weird habit of treating powerful people like dirt. Although Pandaren of Wandering Isle and Pandaren of Pandaria have been separated for almost thousands of years. history, but deep down they all admired the chivalrous Hero. After learning about the significance of Dick to Theramore and even Lordaeron, as well as his legendary stories, Chen Stormstout felt that the seriously ill Hero in front of him was worthy of his respect.
After all, I haven't seen such a truly brave person for many years.
Paladin slowly waved his hand towards Chen Stormstout and Li Li who were sitting on the chairs, indicating that they don't need to be too polite. He whispered something to Liadrin who was standing behind him, "Higher Class" Elven Paladin was stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the room quickly. A few minutes later, the slender beauty Paladin walked back to the room holding several bottles of wine packed with bamboo, Stone and even Bones.
Smelling the faint aroma, the eyes of Chen Stormstout, who was telling Dick about his past adventures, immediately lit up, and Pandaren's cheeks were surrounded by He is black, but only the eyes are white, and he looks surprisingly friendly. Of course, if you don't ignore the sharp fangs sticking out of his mouth, this guy is still very Intimidation powerful to ordinary people.
"This is my personal thank you gift to the Heros who are brave and heroic."
Dick smiled and held up his left hand, Liadrin placed the bottles of wine in front of Chen Stormstout, and then heard Dick introduce,
"Here are Essence from the first batch of fruit wine brewed by the Sunstrider Royal Family when he first arrived at Quel'Thalas 6800 years ago, as well as the berry wine brewed by Kaldorei to celebrate the end of War of the Ancients, and Dark Iron Dwarves Royal Family The secret high mountain Chen Stormstout and Zandalari Trolls the mysterious Voodoo wine are both in my collection, Mr. Chen, please be polite."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Stormstout to refuse, Dick turned to look at Li Li who was eating delicious dried fish in small bites. This lively Pandaren Girl has inherited the adventurous spirit inherited from the Stormstout Family and is destined to become an outstanding adventurer in the future. Dick also smiled and said to the slightly reserved Li Li,
"And you, little Hero, Anduin said you like to collect mounts and small pets? No problem, Prince Kael'thas not long ago sent a noble Hawkstrider with two white ends as a Ascension gift to Anduin. I decided to give you one, and Demigod Agamaggan left a thorn boar cub with its meager Bloodline in Theramore. If you are interested in adopting it, Demigod will also be very happy."
"But this is too expensive! I can't have it!"
Li Li hurriedly waved his hand, Hawkstrider is acceptable, but a Little Pig, forget it, Li Li, who loves cleanliness, doesn't like that pet, even if it carries the extremely noble Demigod Bloodline!
"It's okay. I can see that you will be a very attentive breeder."
Dick waved his hand. The Little Pig almost became the troublemaker in Royal Court. Dick saw it stealing his own Lunch more than once, so he happened to take the opportunity to give it away. Going out, Dick took out Pocket Watch without waiting for Li Li to object, looked at the time, stood up with the support of Liadrin, and took his own unique Staff.
Scepter of Orsis is the Staff obtained from Uldum. It can be changed in length at will and is just suitable for Dick. Especially when walking every step, the golden Scepter engraved with the Eagle sculpture will also emit a brilliant light like starlight. It is also made of Senxia In the words of Captain,
"It just fits the noble temperament of Lord Earl."
Although Dick doesn't like this ostentatious situation, in terms of convenience, there is nothing more suitable than this Scepter.
"Mr. Chen, it's almost time. As Mentor of Anduin, I invite you to join his Ascension Ritual."
Facing Dick's invitation, Chen Stormstout, who had received the most precious gift, had no reason to object. He accepted it happily, then took his unique bamboo hat from the maid's hand and put it on his head.
"It's my pleasure, Knight Dick."
A few minutes later, when Dick followed Princess Caliea and Anduin in military uniform appeared in the venue, Tirion Fordring came on behalf of Silver Hand, Brigitte, and Ironforge came on behalf of Scarlet Crusade The common representatives of Dwarves and Dark Iron Dwarves are Princess Rhaella, the representative of Kaldorei Elf is Sentinel Commander Barnes, the representative of Quel'Thalas is Halduron Brightwing, and the representative of Kul Tiras is Matthew Brigadier General stood up to welcome them, and on the other side, which was clearly separated from them, many people also stood up in unison.
High Warlord Overlord Saurfang from Orgrimmar, Warlord Rokhan (Lok Khan) representing Darkspear Trolls, Tauren representing Druid who also represent Hamuul Runetotem, and finally Goblin representing Bilgewater Cartel representing Gazlowe. It seems that Bilgewater Cartel has really established a deeper connection with Orcs.
This makes Matthew Brigadier General somewhat worried. The war between Kul Tiras and Bloodsail Buccaneers has reached its most critical moment, and as we all know, Bilgewater Cartel is one of the financial backers behind Bloodsail Buccaneers. If there is Orcs Pirate appears at sea, that's really not good news.
But today's occasion is not suitable to talk about those things. Besides, these heavyweight representatives are not here just for Anduin's Ascension It is no secret that Northern Expedition hosted by Ritual and Paladins is among the top management of Civilized World. Dick also secretly sent Invitation to the major forces. After Ascension Ritual is over, everyone will sit together and talk about this matter.
Compared to a Heir to the Throne's Ascension, that's the real big deal.
The viewing seats at the back were also filled with invited nobles and celebrities from various countries, including many old acquaintances of Dick, Harrison Jones Jones the Doctor, Goblin big businessman Mr. Lauren and Northridge, New Lordaeron Royal Warlock Wilfred, the Grim Guzzler boss Plugger, and Pirate Captain who has recently dominated South Seas Senxia and his loyal First Mate Gibbs, it is worth mentioning that these two are the most fancy-dressed among Witnesses.
Princess Caliea was sitting on the main seat. Next to her sat Ms. Aegwynn and Jaina, as well as Med'an who was wearing a veil. There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth under the veil. She patted it. Prince's shoulders, Little Anduin took a deep breath, strode to the front of the podium, and solemnly half-knelt in front of the Half statues of Alonsus·Lord Faol.
"Ahem, first of all, welcome everyone to take time out of your busy schedule to participate in Kingdom of Stormwind Heir to the Throne Anduin-Wrynn's Knight Ascension Ritual!"
Dick leaned on the starry Staff and walked slowly to Anduin. He looked at everyone and said loudly, "At the end of last year, under the blood of countless Champion of Lordaeron, The flower of victory of Northern Frontier has finally bloomed. The trouble caused by Undead has been solved. The new Lordaeron will be built on the old site of the kingdom. I have enough reasons to believe that it will be another great country and the beginning of another great legend!"
"Gentlemen and ladies! Darkness is never far away from us, but neither is hope! I seem to see a magnificent era unfolding before my eyes. We will face everything in the future as firmly as in the past, full of Courage, whether it is darkness or light!"
"Everyone should live for their own beliefs, and everyone should be Hero for themselves and their families. I am honored to fight side by side with those Heros. Although I may not know their names, in Northern Frontier, in Silithus, in Blackrock Mountain, in Hyjal, I witnessed the birth of countless Hero with my own eyes, which were the gleams of hope in the darkest era!"
"I am honored to be a part of these Hero stories, and I also know that the world needs more Heros! Before the darkness of the future comes, before our peaceful lives are shattered again, we need Heros more than ever!"
"Today, we will witness the death of a boy and the birth of a man, Hero!"
"He is the future king of destiny Anduin-Wrynn, Kingdom of Stormwind, the knight apprentice who carries the will and name of Marshal Lothar. I know his future glory, and we will witness his future glory together!"
"Now, I assume the identity of Mentor, the knight of Anduin, and also Argent Dawn Order Knight."
"Anduin·Wrynn, my disciple, can you abide by the knight's creed and always fight for justice?"
"Yes, I can!"
"Anduin·Wrynn, can you fulfill your duty and wield your sword for the sake of glory and the name of Holy Light?"
"I can!"
"Anduin·Wrynn, can you hold on to your last hope when darkness strikes and become the guiding light at the end of the darkness?"
"I can!"
"Anduin·Wrynn, when you are running out of ammunition and food, can you sacrifice your own consciousness and shed the last drop of blood for your companions and your people?"
"I can!"
"Very good, My disciple, in the name of Holy Light, I declare that from now on, you will give up the name of apprentice and embark on your own path of knighthood. In the name of Holy Light, I will give you weapons, armor, Warhorse and Libram, this is Gift, and it is more of a bondage. From now on, your sword will not be directed towards the weak, and your shield can only protect justice. This is your belief and will also be your path!"
Dick took a heavy Warhammer that was surging with blue and white light from Tirion Fordring, and handed it to Anduin with some difficulty. This has blades on all sides at the top. Armor-Piercing Hammer has an extremely ferocious appearance, but its casting is extremely delicate. It is a real battlefield killer, but in the surging Holy Light in the palm of Dick, it has a bright meaning. The Lordaeron engraved on it Royal Family's mark shines brightly.
When Princess Caliea saw this familiar weapon, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and tears fell from his eyes.
"This is the weapon used by the Terenas king Lordaeron on the battlefield. It is named Might of Menethil. It has witnessed war and peace, as well as destruction and rebirth. My disciple, may the unyielding will of Menethil reappear in you."
"Take it and become Legendary!"
