Sharlayan and Liadrin had known each other since before the Battle of Quel'Thalas began.
At that time, Liadrin was already a well-known traveling priest in Quel'Thalas, and Sharlayan was just a reckless half-elf recruit.
Time has passed, and more than two years have passed. In Liadrin's eyes, Sharlayan has risen rapidly like taking off from the ground, leaving a deep impression on both the Sun King and Prince Kael'thas.
But Liadrin's title is still "Vonderaur's apprentice".
Although Liadrin was born into a traditional noble family, she was not like those playboys who did not want to make progress.
After studying under Vondelor, Liadrin has been growing step by step.
To be fair, Liadrin's growth rate is much higher than the average of high elves, but she does not have such legendary adventures as Sharlayan and Valeela, so it is normal for her not to be able to compare with them.
Liadrin was not discouraged by this. She kept gritting her teeth and persisted, firmly encouraging herself that she would catch up with her friends who had played together as soon as possible.
However, the profession of pastor...how should I put it?
The fundamental reason why Archbishop Alonsos Faol created the new holy light profession of Paladin was because priests could not guarantee their own survival on the cruel battlefield.
Why?
Because the orcs don't have martial ethics, they only focus on the back row to heal and attack.
Only by surviving on the battlefield can you generate value. If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect and heal your comrades around you?
Therefore, the paladin profession, known as a priest wearing plate armor, came into being. The fragile priest was gradually thrown out of the battlefield and could only sit in the church and treatment room to warm up.
After the birth of the Paladin, Liadrin was at a loss for a time. She suddenly felt confused that the priest had been abandoned by the mainstream, and she didn't know what to do next.
Liadrin, who was in a period of confusion, specifically consulted Sharlayan, who was already famous at that time, if there was a way to reach the top as a priest.
[The greatest priest in the history of Azeroth is Alonsos Faol, but ironically, it was he who founded the Paladin. 】
[Previously, have you forgotten Viren? 】
[What? Do you really think that Velen’s ability to survive today is due to his ability as a priest? Has your title of prophet been taken away from you? 】
[Take a step back, Velen’s favorite apprentice Anduin Wrynn, do you think his fighting style is like that of a priest? 】
[Except for not being able to break chopsticks like my dad, how does that boy wearing plate armor and holding the Sword of Salameni look like a priest? 】
【Tylande?】
[Tylande is a weak priest. Don’t misunderstand the abilities of the Moon God Priest because of the gameplay classification. Grandma Tyrande mainly relies on the magic given by Elune. ]
[Who do you think taught Shandris the Lunar Railgun? 】
[All in all, the Holy Light Priest is just a simple nanny, brittle, and the Discipline Priest with stronger survivability is more suitable for appearing on the battlefield. 】
[Good idea, has anyone developed the discipline talent now? Who is a representative figure of the discipline priest? 】
[I can also name Natalie Serling as a Shadow Priest, but I really have no impression of the Discipline Priest with a named name.]
[The priest has no future (violent theory,) even Alonsus Faol looked down on him, so he decisively changed his profession to a paladin. 】
Saryan still remembers the debate about the barrage at that time, but it seemed that they finally came to the same conclusion.
There is no chance for the priest, at least until the discipline talent and shadow talent are developed, there is no future.
Unless Liadrin wants to be a healer her whole life, then...change her profession.
In fact, Liadrin did this in the original history.
Studying medicine can't save Azeroth, I won't be a priest anymore!
So she changed her profession without hesitation and became a blood knight, a special kind of paladin who distorted the holy light. As a result, she had doubts about the nature of the holy light for a long time.
After all, Liadrin was also one of Sharlayan's friends, and he did not intend to let this confused friend go down the same old path in history again.
Under Liadrin's welcome, Sharlayan met the selected Paladin reserves.
The priests who can be selected all have good physical fitness. Those who are not diligent should just sit in the rear and be the logistics nanny.
As a noble, Liadrin has learned noble swordsmanship from her father since she was a child, and has a certain foundation in combat.
This is one of the reasons why she rose quickly after becoming a Blood Knight.
Under the expectant gaze of the Paladin reservists, Sarlayan stepped onto the temporary wooden platform in the camp.
"What is the Holy Light?"
Saryan raised a big question at the beginning.
"Who can answer me?"
A man with good muscular lines raised his hand and said hesitantly: "A kind of... sacred faith?"
All along, the strength of high elf priests has been far inferior to that of the humans next door.
They once thought this was because the high elves' belief in the Holy Light was not pure enough.
There is nothing that can be done about it. High elves are taught from birth to dedicate all their faith to the Sunwell. It is strange to be able to devote one's heart to the Holy Light.
But Sarlayan was going to tell them today that this idea was totally wrong.
"wrong!"
Sarlayan sternly rebutted with his hands behind his back: "Holy light is not a belief, it is just a kind of power. It is not fundamentally different from arcana, nature, evil energy, death and shadow."
"The Holy Light is indeed a kind of belief, but it has nothing to do with whether it is holy or not. It is a belief in one's own will."
"The purer your belief, the stronger the response from the Holy Light will be."
"Look good."
Sarlayan closed his eyes and stretched out his left hand.
A moment later, Sarlayan, who had never been exposed to the power of light, suddenly formed a bright ball of light in his hand, triggering a burst of exclamations from the audience.
"Lord Deep Shadow...is he also a priest?"
"no, he is not."
Liadrin's emotions fluctuated violently, but she still remained calm and explained: "As far as I know, Sharlayan has never used the Holy Light in battle. This should be his first attempt."
"What?!"
Sarlayan put down his right hand, whose light was gradually dissipating, and still maintained a calm voice and said to the surprised priests in the audience: "Did you see it? I have never believed in the Holy Light, but it is still willing to respond to my call."
"This is because I gave it a firm belief when I asked the Light to respond...a belief that protects Quel'Thalas."
"Notice."
Sarlayan raised his index finger and emphasized: "It's a request, not a prayer or a request."
"It is we who control the Holy Light, rather than the Holy Light 'taking pity' on us. The cause and effect relationship must be clarified first."
For this class, Sharlayan consulted Maladar, Velen and others in advance about what the Holy Light represents in the cognition of the Draenei.
Maladar was not a full-time Holy Light professional, he just read out what Velen once taught him.
Although Velen is very close to the Naaru, the collection of Holy Light, in fact, he has a very pragmatic view of the Holy Light. He has never regarded the Holy Light as a savior. He only respects the Holy Light because the Naaru helped the Draenei and reciprocated.
That's all.
According to the barrage, the original Naaru and the Mother of Light, Zera, will be shot and exploded in the future by Illidan, who has no control over my destiny.
At that time, Turayan was so angry that he almost killed Illidan with a sword, but Velen stopped Turayan, and very pragmatically threw Zera's remains into the furnace to strengthen his own army.
strength.
If Zella knew that Velen, whom she favored so much, would be so "rebellious", she might be so angry that she would jump out of her grave.
Velen has lived for at least 25,000 years and has never seen any big storms or waves.
Holy? Don’t be ridiculous, Holy Light is one of the six origins of the universe, nothing more.
Sarlayan's outrageous words sparked a heated discussion among the priests.
If this was said to Lordaeron, a devout believer in the Holy Light, the believers of the Church of the Holy Light would beat him off the stage in anger without the priests getting angry.
...provided they can fight it.
The high elf priests originally had doubts about their belief in the Holy Light. After getting over the initial shock, they began to rationally discuss whether the theory proposed by Sarlayan was reasonable.
"It's not belief in the Holy Light, but the belief in using the Holy Light to control oneself...?"
Liadrin was indeed very talented. She thoughtfully imitated Sarlayan and stretched out her right hand and closed her eyes, concentrating on gathering her beliefs.
"Buzz!"
A golden light brighter than Sarlayan's demonstration appeared in Liadrin's hands.
Liadrin, who has been dealing with the Holy Light for many years, was pleasantly surprised to find that the intensity of the Holy Light in her hand was more powerful and pure than the power of light she had "praised" in the past.
A gratified smile appeared on Sarlayan's face: "Very good, some of you have already understood the true meaning of the Holy Light."
"Three days, I'll give you three days."
"Reposition your understanding of the Holy Light. If you fail to adjust your mentality within three days..."
"Sorry, I'm afraid the Paladin Force is not suitable for you, because we may conduct more unconventional research and testing in the future."
