Chapter 888 7. Theory of Faith
The news that the two beauties, one big and one small, were going to duel swept through the entire Tyre like a storm.
Because at this early morning, the great knights Mograine and Fording have left the hand of Tyre, their whereabouts are unknown, and the great judge Iselion has also returned to the trial court in Hearthglen, staying in the hand of Tyre The old General Abedis felt unwell today because of his alcoholism last night, his mental pain, and his old age. Therefore, the current huge Hand of Tyre is run by middle-level commanders.
And it happened to be dinner time at this time, which was the most leisure time of the day for the paladins undergoing training. Therefore, in less than 10 minutes, the entire training ground in front of Tyr's Hand Castle was full of young people who came to watch the excitement. The knights, being so numerous, alarmed some of the commanders in the castle, but for one reason or another the commanders did not prevent the duel from proceeding.
In the middle of the field surrounded by hundreds of people, Bridget Abedis, who was wearing training armor, felt a little uneasy seeing her behavior causing such a big disturbance. She was essentially a qualified paladin, She has been trained by the great knights since she was a child, and she doesn't want to show off. She hopes to resolve this matter with Anduin and Sarantia in private.
But Bridget underestimated her own charm among young people, and also overestimated the temperament of her peers. Before the duel started, the waves of shouts like mountains and tsunami made it difficult for her to accept. It felt a little better to buckle up the helmet by myself and block out those humiliating voices under the helmet.
She used the time to choose a weapon, taking deep breaths, trying to calm her mind down.
"What? Don't you adapt to the scene of being surrounded?"
A slightly mocking voice sounded behind Bridget. Amidst the exclamation and commotion of the onlookers, Miss Knight turned her head and saw Sarantia in light armor carrying the weapon that was bigger than her. The even taller purple crystal warhammer walked into the field. The warhammer looked so heavy that Sarantia's current appearance made people suspicious. When she swung the warhammer, she Can the extremely slender body withstand the impact of that kind of weapon collision?
Facing Sarantia's sarcasm, Miss Abedis snorted, and casually grabbed an unsharpened two-handed epee. She waved the heavy weapon with one hand, and it was clear from the way she was able to handle it with ease. This beautiful female knight is not a vase... She has actually fought, and maybe even been on the battlefield.
"You'd better worry about yourself, little girl."
Bridget deliberately lowered her voice. She glanced at the nervous Anduin who was standing outside the venue. She said to Sarantia:
"Is that kid scared, or do you really want to protect him? You are an elf, he is a human, and you are definitely not his older sister or younger sister. So, I am curious, what is your relationship with him?"
"boom"
Sarantia placed the Naaru crystal warhammer in her hand on the ground, and when the heavy weapon collided with the stone slab on the ground, there was a deep sound that made Bridget shrink her eyes, which represented that the weapon was Extraordinary weight, but it is as light as a feather in Sarantia's hands. Either this weapon is blessed with special magic, or... this girl who is almost a child in front of me is born with supernatural power?
"If you really want to know the answer to this question..."
Under the gaze of the onlookers, the blushing Sarantia reached out and put down the visor on her helmet. She moved the steel gauntlet, grabbed the hammer beside her with both hands, For a while, she replied in a low voice:
"I am Anduin's...fiancée."
"His too, Protector!"
"Damn it!"
This answer caused Bridget to raise her eyebrows. Seeing that Sarantia was ready to fight, Miss Knight slightly lowered her body, holding the hilt with both hands, and aligned the blade diagonally upwards. The opponent in front of her, she said like complaining:
"You two are still children..."
"so what?"
Sarantia took a deep breath:
"We've seen far more blood than you... you crusader's vase!"
In the center of the battlefield, an old knight serving as the adjudicator of the duel raised his left hand high. In front of his eyes, four high-ranking paladins each stood with weapons, staring seriously at the duel that was about to begin. It is a protective measure to prevent two people in a duel from really getting angry, or one party deliberately hurts the other. When necessary, the four paladins will immediately intervene in the battle and suspend the duel.
"The duel...begins!"
The old knight's left hand swung down like a battle axe. Bridget Knight's eyes narrowed at this moment. The golden holy light shrouded her body. With a soft shout, Miss Knight charged with her sword in her right hand. Swinging his left hand forward fiercely, the dense holy light formed an energy hammer in the air, whizzing and smashing towards Sarantia who was motionless in front of him, as if he had been frightened into a fool.
Seeing the hammer of the trial crashing down, Sarantia did not respond. The paladins around the field immediately prepared to intervene in this completely unfair duel. After all, in their eyes, Sarantia was just a future An adult child, and Bridget, was already an extremely talented high-ranking paladin.
However, just as they were about to act, Sarantia finally took action.
The hammer of judgment that Bridget slammed down was about to fall on the body of the high elf girl, and at this moment, Sarantia raised her left hand that was shining with the holy fire, and without a moment's notice, the energy hammer that was thrown by Miss Knight was precise. Clasping it in her hand, she felt the energy intensity of the Judgment Hammer in her hand. Under the light knight armor with a draenei style, a trace of contempt flashed in those emerald green eyes.
"click"
There was a vague sound, which made Bridget, who was charging with her sword, widen her eyes suddenly. She saw the energy hammer held in Sarantia's hand, bit by bit by those slender five fingers. The button was tightened, and after 1 second, a ball of golden broken light exploded in the high elf's hand, and the war hammer was crushed abruptly. This violent and fantastic scene made all the onlookers exclaim.
"Genius of the Crusader..."
Bridget's charge could no longer be stopped. The moment she approached Sarantia's eyes, the high elf girl waved her empty left hand upward amidst the splash of light, a fierce and domineering holy light came out of its sheath like a howling sharp Like a sword, it pierced Bridget's face shield, causing Miss Knight to subconsciously raise her sword to block. The collision between the blade of holy light and the long sword stopped Miss Knight's charge on the spot.
But at the moment when the unsheathed sharp blade of the Holy Light was blocked, the crystal war hammer swung by Sarantia with both hands also drew a semicircle in the air, and then slammed into Bridget's abdomen fiercely. The attitude is like when she and Anduin were playing golf in the Black Temple...
Like Anduin, the girl who drank the essence of dragon's blood since she was a child has amazing supernatural powers. When she was hit by the war hammer she swung, Bridget suddenly felt her eyes go dark, and she flew out with a howl. After rolling on the ground for several times before stopping, the long sword she held in her hand was spinning in the air, and finally pierced into the ground in front of Bridget with a long cry.
"boom"
Sarantia, who succeeded in one blow, held the crystal warhammer in front of her eyes. In the deadly silence, she stretched out her hand to remove the visor, and looked at the embarrassed man with disheveled hair, dusty face, and blood stains at the corner of his mouth. Bridget, the high elf girl shrugged her shoulders as she watched the lady knight who had struck her soul struggling to get up from the ground.
"you lose..."
"Losing without dignity, like a nobody..."
In the eyes of everyone, Sarantia walked up to Bridget step by step with her warhammer on her shoulders. She condescendingly looked at Bridget half kneeling on the ground. She imitated her adoptive father's tone and looked at her eyes full of tears. The ashen-faced lady knight said:
"My adoptive father told me that weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is... If you can let go of your inner pride and fight me well and seriously, you won't lose so badly ...But now you see, your so-called pride is actually nothing, and I said you are a frog in a well, but I am not actually mocking you, miss."
"I'm just stating a fact, not just you..."
Sarantia approached Bridget's ear, she glanced at the young people around her, and said softly:
"Everyone here... is a frog at the bottom of the well! Anduin is your only hope to become powerful... wake up early."
After finishing speaking, Sarantia was about to leave with her hammer on her shoulders. The moment she turned around, Bridget suddenly asked:
"Anduin, that kid...is he stronger than you?"
This question made Sarantia stop, the girl turned her head and looked at Bridget:
"In the Shattered Sun battle group in Shattrath City, I was the second in every confrontation training...and the first is always Anduin, if there is really a person in this world who can represent the Holy Light s life..."
"Then it must be Anduin... He is the Holy Light!"
Sarantia walked up to Anduin, who took off the helmet for her very thoughtfully, then touched her face, and asked in a low voice:
"Did she hurt you?"
Sarantia, who was so strong just now, looked like a good girl at this moment. She took Anduin's arm and said softly:
"No, she's too weak...Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
———————————————————————————————
"This castle is terrible!"
At night, Anduin in pajamas made the bed and complained to Sarantia next to him:
"It's wet and cold, and you can't sleep well without lighting the fireplace, but we haven't got firewood yet, and we haven't been told to get it, so what should we do? We're not going to sleep well tonight."
Sarantia, who was wearing a nightgown, also frowned, feeling the cold atmosphere in the house. Not every castle has the environment-regulating magic circle imprinted by the Draenei like the Dark Temple, at least in Azeroth. , Castles are generally used to defend against enemies or fight wars. It is completely considered from a military point of view, so the applicability is much lower.
The environment in front of them makes the two children who have lived a wealthy life since they were young a little helpless. They have just joined the Argent Dawn Order, so they can't go to the person in charge just because of this trivial matter, right?
"or..."
Sarantia's cheeks were flushed and she said:
"Shall we sleep together tonight?"
However, before Anduin could answer, a deep knock sounded on the door that night. Anduin went to open the door, but found an "acquaintance" standing outside the door...Miss Bridget Abedis .
She was holding a bundle of firewood in her hand, and there were still bruises on her cheek. She looked at Anduin with complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes, but finally, she sighed and handed the firewood in her hand to Anduin. He kissed the little prince, then turned around in silence and was about to leave.
"Oh, wait!"
Anduin handed the firewood to the sullen Sarantia, and then stopped Miss Bridget who was leaving. The boy asked kindly:
"You look in a bad mood, so you want to come in for a cup of hot tea?"
This weird invitation made Bridget subconsciously turn around, and she looked at Anduin suspiciously:
"Is there any connection between these two things?"
"Yes, I have!"
Anduin explained solemnly:
"My mother told me that if the people around you are in a bad mood, you should buy her a cup of hot tea. This is etiquette."
Miss Abedis hesitated, but in the end, she nodded and walked into the room of Anduin and Sarantia. Due to the business relationship between the Federation and the Order, the Order also used some Engineering products produced in the Federation, such as the water heater that is now popular, this gadget is a gadget that uses gas to heat up drinking water. It is a daily necessities developed by the Black Iron District 4 years ago. It is easy to carry and can be inflated once. It can be used about 20 times in the end, so it is very popular among knights who often need to eat and sleep outdoors.
"woo woo woo"
The jug placed on the gas water heater made a humming sound, and Anduin was busy preparing tea for the guests, while Miss Abedis and Sarantia sat on a chair beside them, staring at each other. Looking at each other with small eyes, they didn't speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
In the end, it was Sarantia who opened the conversation.
This high elf girl always looks very timid in the dark temple, it is more because of the blood mistress Aurelia, after leaving the dark temple, this girl has some solid growth, she is actually a She is a very smart girl, she can tell at a glance that after Bridget suffered a disastrous defeat, she has had some doubts about her beliefs.
"Actually, you came here to ask why you lost so badly...why you also use holy light, I can save your attack, but you can't block my holy light, right?"
Facing Sarantia's question, Bridget lowered her head and maintained a standard knight sitting posture. After a few seconds, she nodded:
"Yes, I want to ask, is it really my belief...is there something wrong?"
