After crossing the inner city gate of Stormwind City, everyone has truly entered Stormwind City. However, compared with the majestic city wall, the scene inside Stormwind City seems a bit dilapidated.
Different from the Stormwind City in the game that Aaron is familiar with, the real Stormwind City is obviously much larger. After all, the buildings made in the game are basically functional buildings that provide services to players. In reality, it is impossible for a city to be filled with service industry practitioners and no other residents.
However, although many buildings have been renovated in this huge city, various buildings full of traces left by the Orcs invasion war can still be seen everywhere. These very dilapidated buildings are mixed in with some of the restored buildings, and the overall look gives people a sense of dislocation.
Construction workers busy with building repair work can be seen everywhere on the streets of the city. Some of the machinery used by these workers gave Aaron a very familiar look. It must have been made by the dwarf craftsmen of Ya-Mei Trading Company.
"Here is Trade District of Stormwind City, on the right is Mage Quarter, on the left is Old Town that has not yet been repaired, and from here forward is Cathedral Square where Cathedral of Light is located, the northeast corner is Dwarven District where the subway directly leads to Ironforge. There is a road between Dwarven District and Old Town that leads to Stormwind Keep."
Because it was the first time to come to Stormwind City, Vereesa listened to the introduction about Stormwind City very carefully, and asked questions from time to time.
"Wait, this... Brother Paladin, isn't this your first time at Stormwind City?" At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted the introduction. The Duke took off his helmet and looked at Aaron in surprise.
That's right, the person who is currently introducing the basic layout of Stormwind City to Vereesa is not a local from Stormwind City, but Aaron. Although the architectural layout and Aaron prints are what you can see. It is quite different in the game, but the basic street layout is basically the same as in the game. Aaron relied on the impression left by Mage Quarter's countless portals to run to the auction house, so it is no problem to introduce a general layout to Vereesa.
"Ahem, I heard someone say it once, and I remembered it." Aaron coughed lightly, covering up the topic, and then lowered his voice to avoid attracting other people's attention.
"My king is in Cathedral of Light now. You can come with me." The Duke did not hold on to Aaron and turned to Lordaeron's messenger.
Naturally, everyone had no objection. Besides, there were many people in the team going to the cathedral, so there was no problem in walking through the main road.
After passing by Trade District, Cathedral of Light, one of the landmarks of Stormwind City, appeared in front of everyone. Everyone had seen the spire of the cathedral when they passed by Harbor District before, but when they really got there, everyone saw clearly that the cathedral had not yet been rebuilt.
The basic framework of this towering and magnificent building has been built, but the decoration work on the exterior walls has not yet been completed. Although its height alone can already make people feel awe, the scaffolding all over the exterior walls and the exposed exterior walls that have not yet been decorated still reduce this feeling.
The square in front of the cathedral is quite lively right now. Vendors setting up stalls and pedestrians can be seen everywhere in the square. Guards wearing standard armor are walking among the crowd, maintaining basic order.
"It's so lively here." As soon as everyone recovered from the shock of seeing the cathedral, their attention was attracted by the noisy sound in the square.
However, the members of Church of the Holy Light showed a familiar expression. "Maybe it has something to do with the upcoming promotion ceremony of Paladin."
As a new member officially joining Order of the Silver Hand, this promotion ceremony is a very important ceremony in the entire Church of the Holy Light. Since the five Paladin headed by Uther a few years ago Since Stratholme completed the ceremony and became the first five Paladin of Azeroth, this ceremony has been held every once in a while, and every time it is held, it is a major event for the entire Church of the Holy Light.
Because Archbishop Faol has been busy rebuilding Cathedral of Light and Church of the Holy Light in Stormwind City during this period, the ceremonies in recent years have been held in Stormwind City. In order to avoid trouble, many Paladin's promotion ceremony was held in Grand Monastery in the north, but the best among them still have to come to Stormwind City to receive the ceremony personally held by Archbishop Faol. This is also a symbol of glory.
Every time a ceremony is held, residents in and around Stormwind City will flock to this small square like a tide to witness the birth of young Paladin. Over time, it has become a cyclical market.
As the new king of Kingdom of Stormwind, Varian is also happy to see that the residents under his rule can gather around Church of the Holy Light and seek comfort from Holy Light to eliminate the trauma caused by the past war. If he is not busy, he will come to participate in the ceremony in person, not only to show his goodwill to Church of the Holy Light, but also to enhance his reputation among the people.
However, after entering the cathedral, the noisy voices originating from the square were blocked by the unique design of the door. I was quickly infected by the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the church, and even my voice involuntarily lowered the volume.
However, although the church is very quiet, there are a large number of people of all kinds gathered inside, including Priest and Paladin wearing Church of the Holy Light costumes, as well as Stormwind City nobles in luxurious clothes. These people are either coming and going in a hurry to prepare for the upcoming ceremony, or talking in small groups in low voices.
Aaron and their group had a large number of people, and they attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they came in. Several people in the team who were originally members of Church of the Holy Light quickly left the team and went to report to the people responsible for managing this matter. Lordaeron's messenger went to find King Varian under the leadership of the duke.
Aaron and others were left alone and didn't know what to do for a while. Uther had told Archbishop Faol that he wanted to meet with Aaron, but looking at the very busy scene in the cathedral where the ceremony was about to take place, Aaron was a little unsure whether he should go and meet with Alonsus now.
However, Aaron did not hesitate for too long. Soon a man Priest, who was about forty years old, found them. "Are you Mr. Aaron? My teacher is waiting for you behind."
"I am Aaron, but... who are you?" Aaron looked at the middle-aged man with some hesitation. This man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked like a positive person.
"Oh, sorry, I've been a little busy recently. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Benedictus. I'm currently studying Path of the Holy Light with teacher Faol." Middle-aged The man patted his forehead gently and introduced his identity to Aaron. However, he was surprised to see that the expression on Aaron's face stiffened slightly, but he didn't know what he said wrong.
