Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Compared with Kalimdor, which suddenly became in dire straits, with the temporary truce between the Forsaken and Lordaeron, Ivar of Silverpine Forest also accepted the order to lead the wolves westward for reinforcements, and the Eastern Continent calmed down from the turmoil. .

When Quel'Thalas, the Kingdom of Sheldor, Kul Tiras, Dalaran, and many international neutral organizations mobilized to send support to the Kalimdor continent, the two main pillars of the alliance had a different attitude. Some ambiguous.

Lordaeron has just ended its war with the Forsaken, and it is understandable that they are unwilling to cross the sea to provide support, but the Stormwind Kingdom, which has long since ended its war with the jungle trolls, is rather strange.

Strictly speaking, the reason why the Kingdom of Stormwind can avoid the continued attacks of jungle trolls is also due to the agreement reached between the Night Republic and the Zandalari Empire.

Varian himself wanted to send reinforcements to the Western Continent immediately, but the Twilight's Hammer Church, which suddenly sprung up in the Kingdom of Stormwind, attracted the Lion King's attention.

Varian, who was sitting in Stormwind Fortress, looked a little unhappy. He looked at the ordinary middle-aged man half kneeling under the throne and asked, "Mathias, how is the settlement of the heretics? What is going on with this turmoil?" ?”

Mathias unobtrusively glanced at Benedictus who was still kindly beside Varian.

"Your Majesty, members of the cult can be found in all walks of life in the Kingdom, and they are not limited to Stormwind City. Large-scale violent riots have also broken out in the West Fertile Fields, Redridge Mountains, and Duskwood."

As the eyes and ears of the Stormwind Kingdom, Mathias is very well informed, not to mention that Garona always seemed to hint to him that there was something wrong with Benedictus during the recent fraternity gatherings.

Although no definite evidence could be found, Mathias, as an old fritter who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, did smell something abnormal from the whereabouts of Archbishop Shengguang.

Varian valued Benedictus very much. After all, the other party was the apprentice of Saint Alonsus, and Benedictus' holy light had never faded, so Varian had no doubts about him at all.

"Hey~"

Rubbing between his brows irritably, Varian ordered to Mathias, "Continue to investigate, and I will let the militia organizations in various places control the situation to avoid further expansion of the turmoil."

"Yes, this subordinate will leave first."

Mathias disappeared without showing any clues.

Benedictus prayed in a low voice with pity on his face, "May the Holy Light make those poor lambs come back."

Varian personally sent the aged and bald Benedictus out of Stormwind Keep, preparing to return to his throne to continue thinking about countermeasures.

"Your Majesty Varian, please wait a moment."

The sudden voice made Varian subconsciously clenched the great royal sword that was transmitted to Lothar, "Who?"

A purple-black shadow appeared from inside the Tempest Fortress, and the surrounding royal guards hurriedly aimed their weapons at this person.

"etc!"

Varian stopped the movement of the guards, he had already seen the other's face clearly.

"Ambassador Starscar? You are..."

Niyana took off her cloak and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty Varian, we have something important to report to you."

Varian frowned. "Us?"

Niyana smiled and whispered to her side, "Come out, Garona."

Garona, who didn't say a word, half knelt on the ground and showed her figure, "Your Majesty, the sinner Garona is taking the liberty to ask to see you."

Varian froze for a moment, then waved his hand to signal Garona to stand up first.

"Garona, when you assassinated your father was controlled by others, and you failed, don't worry about it all the time."

"...Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your tolerance."

Just as Andrea speculated, after Ryan confirmed that Varian could govern the country well, he moved into Karazhan Tower with relief, intending to spend the rest of his life in this guardian tower that carries many memories.

Karazhan was cleaned up by Khadgar and Garona many years ago, and the crisis in the tower has basically been resolved. As long as Ryan walks into the reflection Karazhan without risking his death, there is no danger.

Of course, even Khadgar and Garona don't know about Reflection Karazhan, and it's even less likely for Ryan to find the entrance.

Garona sneaked into the barrier of Karazhan many times to visit Ryan by relying on the permission given by Khadgar. Ryan, who was in his old age, lost the courage when he was in power, and began to miss the past more.

Confirming that Lion was in no danger, Garona focused more on Varian.

With the return of Deathwing and the Elemental World, Garona and Niyana, who had always been wary of Benedictus, clearly felt that he was starting to move.

The Twilight's Hammer cultists swarming in the Kingdom of Stormwind are secretly instigated by the Archbishop of the Holy Light.

Suffering from no real evidence, Garona and Niyana were unable to accuse Varian of the Holy Light Archbishop on trumped-up charges.

But as the saying goes, if you walk at night for a long time, you will encounter ghosts, Benedictus finally made some minor mistakes and omissions under the urging of N'Zoth.

Benedictus' task is to prevent the countries of the Eastern Continent from sending reinforcements to Kalimdor as much as possible. If the Stormwind Kingdom was the only one in the past, he can easily complete this task by sitting in Stormwind City.

But with the rise of Lordaeron again, Benedictus had to travel between Lordaeron and Stormwind City for a long time in order to limit the actions of Queen Calia.

Although he thought his actions were very covert, Garona, who had been staring at him, finally found some clues.

Varian looked puzzled at the set of black priest robes that Garona threw on the table, "Garona, what is this?"

Garona, who was not good at words, turned her head to look at her side, and Niyana explained knowingly, "This is one of the costumes worn by Father Twilight, the leader of the Twilight's Hammer Church, when he was preaching."

The corners of Varian's brows twitched slightly, and his originally puzzled expression gradually became dignified.

"Father Twilight? Who the hell is he? Do you know his whereabouts?"

"Yes." Niyana sighed, "Your Majesty Varian, please calm down first."

"Father Twilight's true identity is the Archbishop of the Holy Light, Benedictas, who often deliberately brushes his presence around you."

"What?!"

Varian's eyes widened, and he retorted subconsciously, "Impossible! The followers of Twilight's Hammer use shadow energy, Archbishop Benedictus..."

Before he could finish speaking, Varian suddenly stopped.

Two mutually repelling energies, holy light and shadow, appeared alternately in Niyana's hands. This phenomenon of shattering common sense made Varian a little dumbfounded for a while.

Niyana smiled wryly, "Your Majesty Varian, I'm not very knowledgeable, so I can only show the holy light and the shadows alternately."

"My teacher, Speaker Andrea Moonshadow, can even use these two energies at the same time."

Garona interjected sharply, "Holy light and shadow are indeed opposed to each other, but they can also coexist to a certain extent."

"Benedictus is taking advantage of ordinary people's cognitive blind spots to play two roles at the same time. During the day, he is the revered Archbishop of the Holy Light. At night, he will take off his disguise and become the secretive Father Twilight."

Niyana sternly reminded, "Your Majesty Varian, please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Benedictus will soon find himself missing an outfit, and we have to act first to prevent him from jumping over the wall."
