Holy Judgement? What is that? Aaron glanced at Vereesa next to him in confusion.
Vereesa sighed, she had discovered it a long time ago. Although Aaron knew many secrets, he was lacking in common sense, so he explained to Aaron what was going on Holy Judgement in a low voice.
Strictly speaking, this ancient tradition named Holy Judgement has rarely been mentioned by anyone, but for a long time before and after the birth of the Human Empire, this tradition has maintained strong vitality.
When two parties have conflicts with each other and cannot produce tangible evidence to prove the other party, either party has the right to initiate Holy Judgement and conduct a "glorious" duel under the witness of the universal belief of mankind - Holy Light. The statement held by the winner in the duel will be considered to be absolutely true and reliable.
Although after the establishment of the current human nations, this tradition has gradually disappeared from human life with the improvement of the legal system, it still exists, but few people act in accordance with this tradition.
"This is too ridiculous. How can anyone judge like this?" Aaron felt ridiculous in his heart after listening to Vereesa. At first, he couldn't understand how such a tradition could still exist in this era.
However, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand that Judgement, a witch with medieval characteristics that Kul Tiras has seen in the game, Eastern Kingdoms still retains this tradition with characteristics of the Horde era..
"Mr. Aaron, please pay attention to your words." What Aaron didn't expect was that after hearing his words, the Paladin around him looked at him dissatisfied, and the old Mograine said "Aaron" with a straight face.
Aaron glanced at the Paladin people in confusion. For a moment, he didn't understand why they reacted so violently. He blinked and looked at the Paladin people who were extremely excited. An idea flashed in Aaron's heart, and he vaguely understood, It probably has something to do with what I just said. Paladins are naturally devout believers of Holy Light. What Aaron just said implies some distrust of Holy Light. It is only normal that it will arouse their reaction.
"Since you ask so, I will not refuse," old Mograine glanced at Lyman, then turned to Aaron and asked, "Mr. Aaron, do you accept Lyman's challenge?"
Seeing that this seemingly ridiculous request was approved, Aaron still murmured in disbelief, "I thought only Orcs could play Mak'gora. I never expected that humans would also play this trick."
"Do you dare to agree, Aaron?" Seeing that Aaron didn't respond, Barthilas took a few steps closer to Aaron, stared at Aaron condescendingly, and said, "You, the guy who blasphemed the name of Holy Light, do you have the guts to accept Lyman's challenge?"
"You..." Aaron looked at the proud look on Barthilas's face. Not to mention how disgusted he felt, he turned to look at Lyman and replied word for word with a livid face, "I accept your challenge!"
Judging from Barthilas's expression, this guy seemed to have originally planned to let Aaron participate in this Holy Judgement, but Aaron was very surprised where this guy got the confidence to think Lyman Will defeat him? Aaron recalled the previous battle with Lyman and felt that there was no way this Paladin could defeat him. Barthilas must have a backup plan.
"Okay, since both parties have agreed, I will announce in the name of Holy Light that the Holy Judgement match between Aaron and Lyman will be held at the training ground tomorrow morning." After the old Mograine announced the time and place of Holy Judgement, they drove back the members of Silver Hand who had gathered to watch.
Soon the crowd of onlookers dispersed. Barthilas left Aaron with a thoughtful look and then continued patrolling the night with his Paladins.
"Aaron, do you really plan to participate in Holy Judgement?" Vereesa looked at Aaron worriedly and asked.
"Do you think I will lose? That guy looks easy to deal with." Aaron glanced at the leaving Barthilas and others, and Lyman was naturally among that group of people.
"You really don't know." Vereesa said clearly, and then began to explain to Aaron, "Although Lyman is the initiator, he can find others to help him in the duel. Then your opponent will most likely not be Lyman."
"Can it still be like this?" Aaron scratched his head and thought to himself, Holy Judgement's sense of déjà vu is a little too obvious. It even looks like he can ask for help. However, thinking about his two artifacts, Aaron doesn't think he will lose.
"What if they don't allow you to use the artifact?" Vereesa reminded Aaron, seeing Aaron's indifferent expression.
"It's very possible." Aaron nodded. Looking at Barthilas's confident look, Aaron felt that he really shouldn't underestimate the other party, but Aaron believes that as long as the other party doesn't play any tricks, he will never lose. After all, in terms of Holy Light's reserves alone, Aaron is confident that he will not lose to anyone, and it will consume him to death by then.
"Wait a minute, Barthilas... I think I've heard of this name somewhere." Aaron chanted Barthilas's name several times, "Stratholme's Barthilas mayor? Probably not..."
"It's that guy!" Aaron thought for a long time, and finally remembered the memory related to the name Barthilas, which caused Tirion·Tirion Fordring to be expelled from The culprit of Silver Hand is this guy. Although Aaron cannot agree with Tirion's behavior of attacking his own subordinates just to kill Eitrigg, he hates Barthilas even more.
"What did you think of?" Vereesa looked at Aaron and asked in confusion.
Aaron pointed in the direction where Barthilas disappeared and whispered, "I remembered the bad things that guy did. I really need to be careful with him."
"Then how about we just leave overnight?" Vereesa suggested, "They shouldn't be able to catch up with Dreadwake."
Aaron shook his head. "If I escape, I don't know how I will be arranged by those people. Maybe I will be wanted by Silver Hand by then."
"Then you follow me to Quel'Thalas. I don't believe they can go to Silvermoon City to arrest people."
Aaron smiled, patted Vereesa's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not lose, that kind of guy... hum."
Aaron deliberately expressed his disdain for Barthilas with a disdainful snort, and also showed his confidence.
"As long as you have confidence." Vereesa took a deep look at Aaron, turned around and went back to his room without saying anything more.
Aaron returned to his room, looked at the warhammer and shield placed in the corner, and lay back on the bed, thinking about a bold idea in his mind. This idea just came up. After thinking about it carefully, Aaron felt that it was necessary to give it a try, but the specific results will be discussed tomorrow.
"Oh, if I really do this, I don't know what my reputation will become." Aaron sighed, but his determination did not waver at all.
No matter what Aaron thought, after the night passed, at dawn the next day, a young Paladin attendant came to inform Aaron Holy Judgement of the specific time and gave him a simple breakfast.
After following this attendant to the training ground, Aaron saw a large number of onlookers gathered nearby. It was estimated that all members of Silver Hand who were still in Grand Monastery had come over.
Aaron also saw the group of children who played pirate games with him yesterday in the crowd. Seeing Aaron appear, they all said hello to Aaron.
Barthilas's group had arrived early. Seeing Lyman's relaxed and casual look, Aaron was sure that it would not be him who would duel with him today.
The subsequent negotiations indeed proved this point. Lyman asked Barthilas to fight Aaron on his behalf. Although the old Mograine frowned, he did not express any objection.
"Mr. Aaron, please give me some advice later." Barthilas smiled at Aaron with a very ugly smile.
Aaron curled his lips and said, "Then let's start now?"
Barthilas waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have a few small requests."
