"This respected priest, I am the current commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, Paladin, Saidan Dathrohan! Now, please say your name. Then, please take off your hood, as As a believer in the Holy Light, I think you should show your true face to others instead of hiding yourself behind darkness!"
Among the onlookers, Dathrohan was holding tightly the huge silver-white two-handed war hammer in his hand, and his body had begun to inspire the power of the Holy Light.
Those golden rays of light are lingering around his body and war hammer. As a powerful senior paladin, he, Dasohan, has now entered a fighting state and can launch fatal attacks on the enemy at any time.
Originally, just now in the tent, Dathrohan couldn't sit still after hearing the knight Will talking about a powerful priest with a bishop level here.
Therefore, he immediately led a few followers and rushed here. He had to come over to confirm in person. He had to see if the priest here was the same as what Knight Will said!
This matter is very important to their Silver Hands or to the army of Grand Marshal Garithos! They really need a powerful priest, especially a holy priest who specializes in healing!
Although, as paladins, their holy light can also be used for healing, but compared to those professional priests, their holy light seems less impressive.
After all, the holy light in their paladins is more focused on fighting. After years of fighting on the battlefield, the energy form of their holy light will be too violent and aggressive. It only has the effect of healing and soothing people. In general, it is far less pure than the gentle holy light of the priests.
They were very lucky this time. As soon as they found this place, they met the priest they were looking for. At that time, the priest was treating an injured refugee camp soldier.
At a glance, Dathrohan knew that they had really found a treasure this time. The other party was indeed a powerful priest. That level of holy light could never be faked!
However, Dathrohan was not in a hurry to disturb the other party. After all, the priest was currently summoning the Holy Light to treat the wounded. It would be very impolite and disgusting to rush over and disturb the treatment of a priest! So, a few of them just stood there and waited quietly.
However, after carefully observing the other party for a while, Dathrohan finally found a lot of things that were wrong. The more he looked at the priest in front of him, the more he frowned. The more he looked at him, the more worthy of his suspicion...
First of all, let’s take a look at the other party’s current clothes. Here, due to the relative concentration of fire elements, in this Flame Canyon, in a place where the temperature is comparable to the hot summer, why is the other party still dressed so tightly? Really? Look, not only are they wearing robes and hoods, but they are also wearing masks? Even the eyes are hidden behind the gauze and don't dare to leak out?
Well, if we talk about this person's quirks, Dasohan doesn't want to say anything more. After all, everyone has their own living habits. But why does the other party even wear gloves on both hands? The robe, hood, gloves, and the whole body are wrapped tightly. In this sweltering Grand Canyon, this can't be explained by any quirks. There must be something wrong with this person!
Secondly, look at the figure of the other party. Ever since he came here from Dasuohan, the other party has been hunched over. No matter when he is walking or standing, the other party has always been like that. It looks too much like him. Those zombies that passed by are undead! Of course, this can also be attributed to the fact that the other party is an old man, which is not too strange.
But in the end, and the most important thing, after carefully sensing it, Dasuohan felt something was wrong under the opponent's surging holy light! The man in front of him, this priest, gave him a very strange feeling! Under the other party's holy light appearance, not only could he not feel the slightest breath of living life from the other party, but it also made him feel a little bit unnatural. Under his perception, the person in front of him was like a dead person. Things are ordinary...
It was precisely because of this abnormal perception that Dassault Han felt more and more that there was definitely something wrong with the old priest in front of him! The more he looked, the more he felt that the other party seemed to be an undead?
But...if the other party is an undead, how can he still use the Holy Light? Things like the undead should be destroyed directly by the holy light... This is very unreasonable, very unreasonable! Moreover, it made Dathrohan feel very conflicted! A strange sense of dissonance!
Therefore, after struggling for a long time and waiting for the other party to finally treat the wounded, Dathrohan finally couldn't help but step forward to attack.
He has to figure this out! If he doesn't figure this out, he'll feel like there's going to be a problem with his faith. There is an undead using holy light here? How can this be? The undead are evil, while the Holy Light is bright and righteous. How can the two be mixed together? How could they exist at the same time?
At this point, he must figure it out no matter what, and he even vaguely hopes that this is actually just some problem with his own perception. What the other party hides under that robe and hood, maybe... just Just a hunchbacked old man with strange quirks?
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Dathrohan summoned the Holy Light, made a fighting stance, and planned to intimidate the opponent, and also asked the opponent to take off his hood to show his true face.
"Dear Pastor, I repeat it again! Please take off your hood and let me see your true face. If...if I guessed wrong, I will immediately apologize to you solemnly. of!"
The surrounding refugees who were watching originally came to support Dathrohan after seeing the group forcing a respected old priest. They originally planned to drive away these soldiers who came here to cause trouble.
But when they heard Dathrohan's self-reported identity, they had to remain silent. Here, none of them dared to directly confront a senior officer of Lordaeron, not to mention that the other party just asked to see the face of the old priest. In fact, they were quite curious about this fact.
"...I'm sorry. I was disfigured by a fire before, so I dressed like this for fear of scaring you. So...please go back. I'm very tired today."
The archbishop in the hood of his robe lamented in his heart. Now Alonsos Fao knew that he would probably reveal his true identity as an undead today.
The Saidan Dathrohan in front of him was not only Faao's most proud disciple during his lifetime, but also a very powerful paladin. And I probably can't hide it... Looking at the other party's determined expression now, he must have sensed his undead identity, right?
Sigh... I shouldn't have gone out today...
Now, the reason why the other party did not attack directly is because he still has doubts about his ability to use the Holy Light, right?
Thinking about it, if he hadn't summoned the Holy Light himself, even Faao himself would probably not believe that an undead could use the Holy Light, right? Ha... What a trick of fate. He had no idea that today, he would have to face his once most proud and favorite disciple as an undead...
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I, Dathrohan, have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. What kind of situation have I never seen? A mere burn can't scare me! Mr. Priest, please take off your hood, as long as you make sure it's not what I imagined. In that case, I will apologize to you immediately!"
After hearing the other party's rejection, coupled with the other party's hoarse and unique voice just now, Dathrohan was now able to determine the other party's true identity. It's definitely true. Although he himself is not willing to believe it, various signs have shown that the old priest in front of him is definitely an undead!
"..."
"Hey! Let me tell you, Commander Dathrohan! Isn't it a bit too much for you to embarrass a respected old priest like this? Everyone has already said it! That's because he was burned, so it's inconvenient to see him. Man! What is this called? Oh! By the way, this is what you nobles call privacy! Now, why are you still so stubborn?"
Old John on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore. You, Dathrohan, are a famous paladin and military boss, and the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand. Now, you are here to embarrass an old priest. Tell me this. Are you still talking? Besides, the pastor had just treated his brother, and he would definitely stand up and speak for him now.
"Sorry! John, this matter has nothing to do with you! I advise you not to come over and meddle in other people's business! Moreover, in my opinion, he is definitely not as simple as being burned by fire! If he is burned and disfigured and doesn't want to see anyone, then... , now, he takes off his gloves and lets me look at his hands, just look at his palms, is this not too much to ask?"
Dathrohan snorted, grasped his war hammer tightly with both hands, and began to inject holy light into the weapon.
If this person doesn't even dare to agree to this request, then the other party must be thinking the same thing as him. If that is the case, he will forcefully take action and directly expose the other party's true identity! No matter what the other party's purpose is, Dathrohan will never allow an undead to mix among humans!
"I'm really sorry. I contracted some strange disease, and it's a bit inconvenient to expose it directly to the air..."
After Fao was silent for a while, he shook his head again and rejected Dathrohan's request.
"Hmph! I guess...it's not that it's inconvenient, but that you don't dare, right? Maybe, I can use the Holy Light to help you? Our Paladin's cleaning technique can cure many diseases!"
Holding his two-handed war hammer that glowed with blazing golden holy light, the paladin Dathrohan began to stride forward. He did not intend to argue with the opponent anymore. The effect of the priest's purity technique in treating diseases was even more powerful than that of the paladin. Yes, you still dare to use illness as an excuse?
Are you trying to trick him into using such an inferior interface? Therefore, it is better to attack directly now. As long as the opponent's ridiculous disguise is torn off, everything will be revealed. This is more powerful than any words!
"Stop! Lord Dathrohan! I'm warning you, this is the Flame Canyon. If you dare to mess around again, I will call the fire element for support!"
When Old John saw Dathrohan preparing to take action, he quickly stepped forward and stood between the two of them, blocking the other party and shouting loudly.
He knew that the priest and his daughter were rescued by the fire demons. Maybe they had something to do with the fire demons? If the priest is injured by the other party and the fire demons pursue him, he will not be able to hold it back!
Moreover, as the camp defense officer here, this place will be built into a small town in the future. As the future mayor of Flame Town, he will never allow Dathrohan to use force here. of!
"Mr. Pastor, how about..., would you take off your gloves and let him have a look?"
John also understood that with his little ability, he would definitely not be a match for this Dathrohan Paladin. You know, he is one of the few powerful beings in the human kingdom! It seems... or is he the only remaining chief paladin?
Therefore, after blocking the opponent's attack route, he quickly turned around to persuade. He didn't want humans to start internal strife here again, let alone invite the fire demons to help quell the chaos. In that case, it would be harmful to everyone. not good!
"..."
Fa'ao was silent. She would never dare to take off the gloves. Now Fa'ao's whole body was about to turn into a dried mummy. Once the gloves were taken off, his skeleton-like hands could not be hidden from others. ! Therefore, he could only silently take two steps back. Now, he didn't know what to do.
"Did you see it? John, he doesn't even dare to take off his gloves now! If my perception is not wrong, he may... not be a normal human being at all! So, let me force him to reveal his true face now! "
"And please don't worry, I will never hurt him until I see his true appearance under the hood! Because... I suspect that he is a dead man..."
Before he finished speaking, regardless of the astonished old John, after seeing the priest preparing to retreat back into the house, Dathrohan quickly jumped forward, raised the Holy Light Sledgehammer and swung it at the opponent's hood. He decided to strike first and directly reveal the true face of this undead.
"Judgement!"
Following Dathrohan's roar, a golden war hammer condensed from golden holy light suddenly appeared from the air and hit the opponent's head hard...
Power Word: Shield
Without thinking, Faao directly put a high-level shield on himself, which was also composed of golden holy light. It immediately blocked Dathrohan's attack. After the two kinds of holy light collided together, the shield formed by the holy light The golden war hammer quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Hmph! Now that you've reached this point, you still want to resist?"
Dathrohan suddenly jumped up high, holding his war hammer tightly with both hands. Under the infusion of his powerful power of holy light, the silver-white two-handed war hammer began to glow with golden light, like a small golden sun. .
Templar Judgment!
Now, he wants to use the striking skill of this powerful holy light weapon to break the opponent's shield in one go, and then reveal the opponent's disguise!
He is just an undead, but he still dares to resist in front of the great knight of Dathrohan? He wants the other party to know that no matter what the purpose, if an undead dares to disguise himself and sneak into humans, he must pay the price!
"What a bastard!"
Seeing Dathrohan actually getting past him and attacking forcefully, Old John was so angry that he cursed, picked up his shield and weapons, and charged directly.
Now, no matter what, he has to help this old priest. If the other party gives him a shield and treats him in time, maybe he, an old warrior, can have a few fights with this chief paladin?
It's a pity... Old John didn't master many uses of anger. He was just halfway through the charge when he was hit by a hammer of punishment and was stunned. He staggered and couldn't stand, and rolled directly to the mud beside him. I won’t be able to stand up for a while...
"No~! Please stop! Please don't fight again!"
When Dathrohan jumped up and was about to launch the Templar's Judgment and swing the hammer down, a slender and thin body rushed forward regardless of the danger, and opened her weak arms to protect the hooded priest. In front of him, he stopped the huge war hammer that Dathrohan was about to smash down.
"Please get out of the way right now! Madam! The person behind you is not as simple as you seem!"
After seeing a young woman blocking his attack route, Dathrohan had to stop and forcibly interrupted the upcoming skill in order to prevent accidental injury. However, he still held up the warhammer filled with holy light and used it. In the sternest tone, he warned the little girl in front of him who didn't know how to live or die.
"I know! I know everything you said! But... please don't hurt him again!"
Kalia sipped the tears in her eyes and raised her head to look at the tall and majestic Dassault Han. At this time, a breeze blew away her blond hair that covered half of her face, allowing Dassault Han to finally see her clearly. A face full of tears.
"You...you are...Ka...Ka...?"
When he saw clearly the true appearance of the young woman in front of him, Dassohan was stunned. Even the golden war hammer raised high in his hand dissipated the energy and slowly lowered it.
At this moment, Dasohan's face was full of complex expressions of disbelief, shock, and ecstasy. Under such excitement, even his words began to stutter...
"Yes! I am! But please stop talking, and don't hurt him anymore, please..."
After protecting Archbishop Fao behind her, and seeing the Paladin finally put away his terrifying hammer, Kalia finally covered her cheeks wet with tears with both hands, twitched her shoulders, and began to lower her head. cried loudly...
"..."
Dathrohan looked down at the sobbing lady who had collapsed on the ground, and then at the hooded priest behind her who was still silent. The expression on his face began to change. Finally, he seemed to understand. Something.
So, after sighing heavily, Dathrohan half-knelt down with his war hammer, and at the same time stretched out his hand to gently support the extremely noble lady in front of him. To all of them who are still alive in Lordaeron, She is an existence that no one can replace, and she is worth protecting with all of their lives!
"I obey your will...my highness..."
Dathrohan said in a voice that could not be heard by others. For him, compared to this lady, everything just now has become less important. Whether the priest is an undead, he I don’t want to worry about it anymore.
This must be the mercy of the Holy Light. I never expected that Da Suohan would find her here again!
Now, Dathrohan only wants to do one thing, to use all his strength to protect this lady who has an extremely important position in Lordaeron. No one can hurt her from his hands. With the silver hand In the name of Holy Light!
…
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to take care of it?"
In the distance, on the steps of the gate of the Flame Queen's palace, the Queen's maid Lana and Queen Anne who were accompanying her stood on the high steps, looking at the group of people who had gathered and made trouble at the edge of the human camp in the distance. .
Just now, Lana almost started a fight when she saw the other party! The big man with the hammer was going to hit the kind old priest? The knight must be a bad guy, right?
"Why do you care! Aren't they fine now? It's so boring!"
After saying that, Anne turned around and returned to the palace. cut! Originally, little Annie wanted to continue watching the excitement of a human paladin fighting a powerful undead priest. Just thinking about it made people think it would be very exciting! It’s just that it’s probably too busy to watch now. What a pity!
