Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 52

"Son, your words are beautiful."

In the church, Alonsus Fao, the legendary pastor, blinked his eyes after listening to Bu Laike's words, like a gentle old man who heard an interesting speech.

This will also reveal a sly smile.

He coughed twice and said:

"But I'm an old man, and I've lived long enough that an old man like me can always see the other side of things, whether other people want me to see it or not.

You are very sincere in front of me.

But as far as I know, since your ancestors ruled Kul Tiras, the Proudmoore family is more inclined to support the Church of Storms in the ocean kingdom than the Holy Light.

Your father and you, though born, were both baptized with the Holy Light.

But you rarely wear the Holy Emblem on formal occasions, you cunning boy, at this moment, you are still boldly using what I regard as your lifelong faith, trying to make a deal with a sincere believer.

But after seeing your calamity, I understand your request.

Little Drake, I will carefully consider your opinion and respect your choice. "

His Majesty Faol spread his hands.

His expression became serious, and he said to Drake who was standing in the shadows in front of him:

"But child, darkness is a temptation, and if you choose to dwell in it, you will never be able to appear in the world under the sun.

Son, I ask you not to spread the word about the radical ideas that were spoken to me today.

Just like I don't need you to walk in the shadows, but also maintain a clear and bright heart.

I don't even need you to kill for me in the name of Holy Light, or for Holy Light's upright faith.

That is an unacceptable evil.

All right.

Stop here for a discussion of doctrine.

Now, come forward, child, I want to heal you from the burns of the red dragon's fire. This is Lothar's request, and also to reward you for your courageous deeds on behalf of our compatriots. "

Bu Laike took a step forward obediently.

The legendary priest raised the holy deed in his hand.

This is a sacred object that has been passed down by the Church of the Holy Light for nearly three thousand years. It comes from the era of Emperor Thoradin, and it is said that it is a gift left by the Holy Light to human civilization.

But the shape of this thing makes Bo Laike feel very familiar.

He has seen many of the same things in the game.

The holy deed in Faol's hand was carved with incomparable exquisiteness by skilled craftsmen. But its essence should come from among the stars, a fragment of an energy creature.

Or call it a corpse.

"Touch it."

Faol put the holy gleaming holy light in front of him, nodded to Bu Laike, and the pirate reached out and touched the holy grail.

The next moment, the old pastor recited a scripture.

A triangular bright holy emblem unfolded behind his back, like wings of light, and the power in the holy holy deed was also aroused.

It shines brightly.

A hot, healing magic flowed from Bu Laike's fingers into his body, like a fire lighting a firewood, and his entire body was quickly placed in the holy light.

The power of this holy object is too strong.

When it is lit, the whole church is illuminated.

The golden light stretched along the outline of the church, like a golden sea of ​​light that quickly set off the entire circular chapel.

The light seeped beyond the cathedral, shaping light like golden beacons in the night.

The paladins guarding around saw a miracle, and they bowed their heads sincerely to their beliefs, reciting the sacred scriptures softly, and in the church, at the center of the light.

Cloth Laike feels comfortable bathed in light.

It's like jumping into a hot spring with bare buttocks, and the translucent character card in front of him doesn't have any other hints except for the state of "Holy Light Blessing".

He could clearly feel that the skin on his face and body that had been severely necrotic by the fire of the red dragon was rejuvenating.

With every breath in Guangzhong, some scorching breath will be emitted, which is probably because the deep influence of the dragon fire left in the body is being eliminated.

Although the character card test cloth Laike's state of health.

But in the past month, he ate so much, but he didn't gain weight at all, and he still looked like a man with ribs after breaking away from the curse of the undead.

This is obviously not normal.

Now, those stubborn diseases in the body are also being eliminated bit by bit by the warm holy light.

These injuries may not affect his combat effectiveness, but with them, Laike is destined to be unable to live like a normal person.

"Child, there is a cold power entrenched in your soul, it should be what you said, the cursed power from Hela, the Queen of Hell.

With the holy symbol, I can forcibly dispel it.

But it will destroy your soul. "

The gentle voice of the Pope, emerging from the light, said to Bo Laike:

"This is the first time I have encountered your situation. In the church's classics, there is no precedent for confronting the mysterious power of hell, so I can't take risks.

I will use the holy deed to leave some power behind and give you a blessing.

It will protect your soul from being taken out of your body.

I'll do my best to find a way to eliminate this protection before it expires, but you'd better stay out of the ocean, as that will make the Grim Reaper notice you again. "

"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."

Laike sincerely thanked him. Under his gaze, the translucent character card in front of his eyes had a status of "Blessing of Asylum" added to the status bar.

When it took effect, the state of the Hell Envoy immediately became gray, as if it had been sealed, and the title of "Spirit Hunter" was still there.

This was a pleasant surprise.

His connection with Hell was temporarily severed.

Although it was only temporary, it also made Bo Laike feel a burst of relief.

"No thanks, Drake Jr., compared to the confidence you brought to our people compared to victory when you walked in the shadows, fighting on the front lines against savage invaders.

There is so little I can do for you poor child.

You deserve this healing. "

In Fao's gentle voice, the sacred light gradually faded away, and the circular chapel returned to its previous peaceful state.

Bo Laike reached out and touched his cheek.

The burn scars are still there.

But those unsightly scabs and marred flesh have been reinvigorated, and the dragon's remnants will gradually recover after they are driven out.

This is a self-healing process.

"It will take about a month or two for your wound to heal."

Turning the rosary in his hand, the legendary priest looked at Bo Laike, who smiled horribly, and said:

"I hope that after your scars are healed, your heart will no longer be affected by those shadows, Drake, no matter what path you walk in the future.

You don't have to go alone, don't forget that.

You still have family members waiting for you to go back. No matter how far you go, when you look back, there will always be a warm home that will embrace you. "

"Well, thank you for your instruction, my lord."

Bo Laike bowed his head again in thanks.

He said:

"I will carefully consider your suggestion."

"Your sister, little Jaina, is also at court tonight with her mentor."

Fao said with a smile:

"Perhaps you can, in another capacity, connect with your family before you actually go home.

If you can feel their longing for you, maybe your soul can also get precious comfort. "

"this"

The pirate hesitated. He was silent for a few seconds, put on his face scarf and long hood again, and put his face in the shadow again. He stepped back and said:

"I'll try it, if you wish."

"Let's go then."

His Majesty Faol waved his hand, he turned around again, and continued his interrupted prayer, his silhouette was faintly visible in the chakra circulation of the gentle light in front of him.

He said:

"Take the first step bravely, little Drake, you have crossed the world of the dead and back to the living, and nothing will stop you from returning to them.

Don't let people down who expect you, whether it's your family or your friends.

Holy Light, will bless you. "

——

In the palace garden on the other side of the church, the attendants have already hung up lanterns and ribbons here, and not far away, nobles from various countries are having a boring communication.

Most of them are fringe characters.

Unable to dignifiedly enter the palace banquet hall where the big figures gather, he maintains his own circle in the garden, and Laike advances in the shadows without attracting anyone's attention.

He was going to leave, he had no interest in this palace banquet.

But before leaving, it might be possible to follow the pope's advice.

Go see your "sister" who is close at hand.

His emotions fluctuated a little, but it didn't affect Laike's actions in the shadows. He didn't carry a weapon, and he didn't come to fight.

He is very confident.

With my current stealth skills, I won't be discovered by the court servants or boring nobles.

"Huh? A stalker who is allowed to operate in the palace is really rare."

As a result, Laike dared to turn a corner, when he heard an elegant voice with a somewhat Alterac accent from beside him, this moment made his hair stand on end.

He turned his head in the shadows.

He saw a black-haired, black-eyed, elegantly dressed male aristocrat wearing a black robe, holding a glass of wine and looking at him with a smile.

The shadow couldn't stop the nobleman's gaze at all. When he looked over, the shadow that closed the pirate's body would even disperse actively, as if he was afraid, and no longer deliberately blocked Laike.

He could see Laike clearly, and even offered to raise his glass to toast him.

Bo Laike could see him too.

He didn't even need to investigate, he knew who the person in front of him was.

"Have a drink, Mr. Stalker."

The aristocratic gentleman who found Boo Laike stood up from his chair, poured a glass of wine for Boo Laike himself, and walked to him. Without attracting the attention of others, the glass of wine was passed to Bo Laike in the shadows.

He raised his glass again and said enthusiastically:

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the 'orc killer' who has done great things for our country, a new star of the alliance who does not seek fame and fortune.

I heard that you decisively and persistently declined all honors.

If Marshal Lothar hadn't announced the great victory tonight, you probably wouldn't have appeared at this pompous banquet.

I personally respect such righteous deeds very much. A person as pompous as me cannot be so indifferent to fame and fortune, so I respect fighters who can abide by such constraints even more. "

"You've been honored, sir."

Bo Laike appeared from the shadows, he took the wine glass in front of him, and clinked glasses with the handsome noble gentleman in front of him.

He said:

"I just did what I had to do, it was my obligation, and the oath I had to fulfill."

"Well, I heard about your past."

The nobleman took a sip of his wine, with a look of inquiry in his eyes, he said:

"I heard that you are from the naval battle in Khaz Modan. Well, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm so rude."

While speaking, he stood up straight, flicked his sleeves, very decently, with a trace of aristocratic reservedness, introduced himself to Bo Laike:

"My name is Daval Prestor, I am from Alterac, and I am currently serving the Alliance under the noble King Terenas, just like the ancestors of the Prestor family, we have served the kings for generations.

But I'm just a little guy.

I am nothing compared to your heroes who have done great things like this. "

He said to Bu Laike very humbly:

"It was an honor to meet you tonight.

To tell you the truth, about those orcs and their dragons, I am very interested in this, and the alliance military also has a headache about those red dragons who succumbed to the orcs.

And I am willing to solve problems for the big shots.

But it is difficult for me to find a warrior who really faced the red dragon and survived. Maybe you can describe the naval battle for me who lives in the palace and has no courage to step on the battlefield. "

"If my experience can help the Alliance defeat the greenskins, even if it can only play a small role, I will be happy to help."

Bu Laike nodded solemnly, and he made a "please" gesture to the nobleman in front of him.

Say:

"It is my honor to tell you all of this, Mr. Daval, please follow me. My experience has been quite tortuous, especially after escaping from Longkou.

Hope this won't waste your precious time. "

"That's great, you really deserve to be a warrior of the alliance!"

Lord Davar praised again, and followed Laike into the shadow of the garden.

No one noticed their disappearance.

No one even noticed the appearance of Bu Laike, as if there was a strange force affecting the entire garden.
