After Brad left the hotel, he stood on the streets of Lordaeron. For a moment, he felt like a headless fly.
Lordaeron was far more prosperous than Stormwind City, and there were lively markets even around the palace. The streets were crowded with people, and the noise of all kinds of shouts gave him a headache.
In such a noisy world, Brad seemed even more lonely and desolate. Niebuhr and the others could only stay in the hotel, and no one could help him at the moment.
He obviously knew that Prince Varian was staying in the palace, but Brad had no reason to go in. In fact, he could have asked Daelin for help, but along the way, everyone, including him, noticed that Daelin suddenly
time defense.
After some thinking, Brad finally recalled that Dailin's changes only occurred after he subconsciously lectured the troops that day.
Realizing that the problem had arisen on him, Brad wished that his intestines were green with regret. It was because of his negligence that Dai Lin distrusted them. If he missed Li De's important event just because of this, he really didn't know what to do.
How can I apologize to Du Hu?
Brad was anxiously patrolling near the palace, and suddenly he noticed a young man in simple clothes walking on the road.
'This should be a child from a commoner family, right?'
Brad thought in his mind. He would make this judgment firstly because of the other person's clothes, and secondly because of the child's strong physique and bronze skin. Children of noble origins are all fair and fair at this age.
.
However, it was not the boy who caught Brad's attention, but the shadow that appeared behind the boy. Brad realized on the spot that it was a thief who was sneaking in!
Stalkers have a very unique skill, which is a method of invisibility achieved through ingenious shadow spells and the rhythmic rhythm of muscles. Even if they master more advanced shadow spells, without the superb muscle control of stalkers,
, and absolutely cannot do it.
This kind of invisibility cannot be noticed by ordinary people at all. Only warriors with keen senses or other spell casters can see a little shadow. If you are the top stalker, even the Archbishop or the Archmage will have a hard time detecting it.
Fortunately, the thief who planned to take action was not very clever, and Brad could detect him with his sharp senses.
'Why would a thief attack civilian children?'
Brad thought with some confusion. He still had important responsibilities at the moment, and he originally didn't want to pay attention to the internal affairs of Lordaeron.
But Brad immediately overturned this argument. As a warrior, he has a sense of honor that belongs to the warrior. At the same time, as a believer in the light of civilization, he also has moral persistence.
When Niebuhr brought the old, weak, sick and disabled sand trolls to the Great Pyramid, Li De accepted them generously even though there was no obvious profit motive. After that, he bravely went deep into Zul'Farrak to fight for
Niebuhr lifted the curse, and this led to the prosperity of the Hanhai Protectorate today.
Brad has always followed Li De as an example. Today he saw a thief attacking a child. How could he choose to ignore it? Although it is unclear what interests are involved, Brad cannot agree with the act of attacking a child.
.
Of course, as a bystander, he did not take the matter to an extreme. He just pretended to walk over casually, then turned around suddenly and tripped the thief's foot with the scabbard hanging on his waist.
The thief was caught off guard and stumbled, his stealth state was broken on the spot, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Brad could clearly see that he was a thin, middle-aged man.
The child walking in front was startled when he heard the sound behind him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man who had fallen down, and a burly soldier-looking man standing next to him.
The middle-aged man pretended to have a blank expression. He was not sure whether Brad really noticed him or accidentally tripped him. Although he hid it well, Brad still noticed a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
Brad also had a blank expression, which made the thief a little unsure. He just took note of Brad's facial features carefully. Suddenly his expression changed, as if he had thought of something. He stood up suddenly without saying a word.
Talk about walking away.
The market is crowded with people, everyone is busy with their own things. No one around noticed a "little thing" that happened here.
The thief was no longer visible, so Brad turned to look at the half-grown child and gave him a smile.
"The streets are very chaotic. You should go home early."
Varian gave Brad a strange look. He just thought that the middle-aged man just now was knocked down by this person. In addition, Brad's smile was really not good-looking, so he nodded casually and left.
At the same time, I was still thinking:
'Why does this man look so vicious? It's really not safe outside. I'd better go back to the palace quickly.'
Brad touched his face, and he also realized that the other person was scared by him. Then he smiled mockingly to himself, how can the face of a person who survived a mountain of corpses and blood be so good?
But how could Brad have imagined that right in this market, he would miss the target of his trip: Prince Varian?
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Brad's negligence. Not to mention that Varian was dressed in civilian clothes. When Brad was in Stormwind City, he was just a deputy captain and belonged to the non-guards stationed outside the city for a long time, that is,
I saw Varian from a distance during the evacuation, how could I remember it so clearly?
In addition, Varian's past two years are the two years when a boy has changed the most. His height has grown by more than a head, and his facial features have also grown. Brad can only recognize it.
Who would have thought that a random kid he bumped into in the bustling city could be Varian? After the kid left, Brad conveniently forgot about it.
It's not like he never thought about trying to sneak into the palace, but it would be too difficult. Besides, what he was doing was a legitimate thing, and there was no need to use high-risk illegal means.
After much thought, Brad finally decided to follow Li De's instructions and directly visit Archbishop Alonsos Fao.
As the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church, Fao usually does not live in the palace. He spends more time in the Holy Light Church, spreading the knowledge of the Holy Light to everyone and spreading the Holy Light to treat diseases.
In Lordaeron, churches and palaces are well-known places, and Brad quickly reached his destination.
The majestic church is made of pure white marble, and its thick walls and round dome all give people peace of mind. Outside the door of the church, a small pergola has been erected, and under the pergola, groups of people are gathering
queue.
Sitting in the pergola is a gray-haired old man, who is a little bald because of his age. He is wearing a pure white simple monk's robe and is removing diseases from the people queuing up.
Brad recognized Archbishop Fao at a glance. This respected old man almost never wore the robes and crowns that symbolized his status. Unless there was only one situation, when people were in the most dangerous moment, Fao would put on the holy light.
Blessed holy objects, go all out to save more people.
After meeting Fao so easily, Brad, who was originally anxious, relaxed immediately. He knew that Fao always prioritized rescuing people, so he just stood outside the crowd and waited quietly.
But Brad didn't expect that he would have to wait for several hours. In the meantime, several groups of patients came to see the doctor, and Fao took the trouble to receive them all.
After the last patient left, the time had passed from noon to evening. Brad was leaning under a tall vine and was awakened by a monk while he was half asleep.
"Sir, are you also here to see a doctor? The Archbishop is about to rest."
"Ah, ah! I'm not seeing a doctor. I came to see the archbishop for something."
He secretly scolded himself for being so negligent and almost missed work because of his snooze. However, when Brad trotted into the pergola, he found Fao sitting safely behind the table, wiping his face with a hot towel, with no intention of leaving.
It was as if she was waiting for him specially.
"That vine is said to have been planted by Ms. Miredal herself when the Church of the Holy Light was built. My child, you seemed to be under a lot of mental stress before. That tree can help you relax a little."
Brad twisted his neck and found that a lot of the fatigue on his body had really disappeared, and his mind was clearer than before. This sense of comfort made him smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Tell me, child, why did you come to me?"
"Archbishop, I am actually a soldier of the Kingdom of Stormwind. When we evacuated Stormwind City, our ship..."
Brad briefly told their story. At the beginning, Fao was still calm, but after hearing this, even his expression changed slightly.
"This is a letter from the Protector to you. He said that there are some things that only you can make up your mind about."
