Chapter 459 Beware of Gul'dan (Gavemepower Lord Plus More)
Alonsus Fao, he is a detached existence to the entire alliance. As the common state religion of the seven countries of the alliance, he is definitely a great figure who can sit on an equal footing with any king.
At this time, the alliance had just seen the dawn of victory and was about to launch a counterattack. At this juncture, the news that Archbishop Alonsus was critically ill broke out, which directly cast a shadow over the victory that the alliance had just won.
Especially for Anduin, whether in public or private, it was a big blow.
In public, because Alonsus promised that after the Stormwind Kingdom regained its territory, he would mobilize believers to collect donations for the reconstruction of the Stormwind Kingdom. Once the most prestigious Alonsus dies of illness, then the restoration of the Stormwind Kingdom is likely to be delayed for a long, long time.
In private, Anduin and Alonsus have been old friends for more than twenty years, and his old friend is dying, so he is naturally very worried.
When Duke arrived, the kings who came to visit had changed several times.
The only ones who are still with Alonsus at this moment are the two senior priests of the Church of the Holy Light, as well as Anduin and Uther.
When Duke arrived with Gavin Ladd, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was abnormal.
"What's the matter? Illness or something?"
Duke did not believe it was a disease.
Because the priest can [disease cure], and another one is [relieve disease], the most powerful doctor in this era is the priest. What's more, Archbishop Alonsus Fao, who is at the apex of all priests?
The second is the hospital bed.
This is a very special hospital bed. It is more appropriate to say that it is a hospital bed than a low water tank. Because Alonsus slept on it, most of his body was immersed in the glittering holy water, only his head was propped up with a pillow, protruding from the water.
Beside Alonsus, there was another priest who continued to cast spells, dispelling the filthy breath from the archbishop's mouth and nose.
Anduin leaned over and whispered to Duke: "It seems that when Alonsus was studying the corpse of a tribal chief, he encountered the blood of the demon in the chief's corpse, and then it may have triggered a certain blood in his body. cursed. Now in a terrible continual decline."
Seeing Duke coming in, Alonsus opened his half-closed eyes: "You all go out, and only Uther and Duke are left."
Anduin hesitated to speak, and finally went out with the two senior priests.
Only Uther was left, purifying the air in the room with low-level dispelling diseases.
Duke was a little hesitant. Fao in history didn't die so quickly.
After the victory in the war against the Horde, Faol also raised a large amount of funds to build the Cathedral of Light in the newly rebuilt Stormwind City, so he became the archbishop revered by both Lordaeron and the Stormwind Kingdom.
In recognition of his dedication to the Church of the Holy Light and his contribution to the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Stormwind, a statue of Alonsus Faol was erected in front of the Cathedral of Light. Great service to the Alliance during the Second War - raised funds to help rebuild Stormwind and Northshire Abbey.
Faol didn't die until the third Dark Portal War, that is, before the undead Scourge invaded Lordaeron, the cause of death is unknown.
I have never heard of Fao being critically ill.
He thought of a very scary possibility. After all, I still asked: "Your Excellency Faol, was it at the Altar of Storms that day..."
That's right, if there is any variable about Alonsus, it is that when Duke stole the fruits of Gul'dan's labor that day, he asked the archbishop to help cleanse the Altar of Storms that had been corrupted by demonic forces.
Alonsus smiled: "My dear disciple, please swear in the name of the Holy Light that you will not tell what you saw or heard today."
Muscles twitched on Uther's resolute and pious face: "I swear in the name of the Holy Light."
Alonsus then turned to look at Duke: "Let me answer your question just now. Yes and no."
yes? neither?
Duke was a little confused.
"I have been spreading the Holy Light for most of my life, hoping to drive away all darkness and evil in the Holy Light. But I found a fact, that is—whether the Holy Light drives away the evil, or the darkness swallows up the Light, it is a relative process .”
"relatively?"
"That's right. The more pious and pure the heart is, the more holy light will be produced. But only the side with the larger total amount and higher quality is the winner of this battle. I did inhale an excessive amount of demon spirit that day. Power, I thought I could purify with my own strength, but obviously I failed. But it doesn't matter."
"It's not important!? Stop joking, Your Excellency the Archbishop, I..."
Alonsus stretched out his hand from the holy water, waved it, and stopped Duke from continuing: "I don't die so easily, as long as I'm sent back to the Holy Light Cathedral in Stratholme, with the power of the holy water, I can still survive." Those who come here will lose some vitality at most. This is not the time for me to sleep forever! The most important thing is actually you—Duke!"
"Me!?" Duke was stunned.
"Yes! You!" Alonsus pointed his finger at Duke's chest: "During these days, you have undoubtedly proved to everyone that you are the most dazzling new star in the league. Your wisdom, your vision, let everyone I almost suspect that you are a prophet sent by the Creation Titan."
"Well."
Well, you're half right.
"But I am most worried about you. Compared with your powerful mana and wise mind, your will is too weak. If some evil existence intends to deal with you, you are the kind of person who is most likely to be corrupted."
Duke, who was told the truth of the matter, felt as if his face was on fire at this moment.
That's right, he was just an ordinary college student before time travel. I haven't experienced the ups and downs of life, and I don't have enough tempering, and I don't have enough life experience. This is his biggest shortcoming, and it is also a weakness that he cannot solve for the time being.
Therefore, Duke can be said to be sure to hit every [Fear Art].
If it weren't for the system wizard, he would have died long ago.
"I'll pay attention."
"No, it's not enough just to pay attention. You need a firm belief, otherwise if you become the next Xavier, it will be a nightmare for the league."
Xavius, he was once the head of the Highborne, the core leader of the Kaldorei civilization in ancient Kalimdor, second only to Queen Azshara. Later, he was corrupted by the ancient god N'Zoth, which directly led to the first invasion of the Burning Legion in the world of Azeroth.
Alonsus' words were heavy.
What else could Duke say? I could only pinch my nose to recognize it, and received a handwritten Holy Light teaching from the archbishop.
Before leaving, Alonsus took Duke's hand and ordered solemnly: "Be careful of Gul'dan."
