Chapter 126 I am the Paladin Senior Brother

The archbishop did not mention the formation of a Paladin Guard Corps, and Garin only inferred from some things that the archbishop already had this idea.

The only people that the archbishop would be concerned about are a few human kings. The reason for not mentioning them is that, holy light has no borders, but believers do.

A Paladin Crusade was formed in Stromgarde, and half of its members were priests from Lordaeron who were transformed into paladins. So which force does the Crusade belong to?

Belong to Stromgarde? But most of them are from Lordaeron. Belong to Lordaeron? But the Knights were formed in the city of Stromgarde, and Stromgarde paid for the military expenses.

Don't say that the Knights Templar belong to the Holy Light Church. Sorry, that's not allowed. It doesn't exist. In today's human society, royal power is greater than divine power. The church can only indirectly influence the nobles and the military among its believers through faith.

The most typical example is the Crusades. In order to safeguard its own interests in the Near East, the church organized armies from various countries to attack Arab countries in the name of God.

Only when the church's power reaches its peak and suppresses the secular monarchy, will the church have its own armed forces. Otherwise, no matter what the name of the knights protecting the church is, they are only nominally subordinate to the church, but actually belong to the state.

Alonsus was not a power-hungry archbishop. He devoted his life to promoting the Church of Holy Light while avoiding conflicts with secular monarchy. Strictly speaking, he was not only a believer but also a qualified politician, and all his actions were in accordance with the rules.

In fact, there is no way around it. The Lordaeron Diocese respects the Archbishop, and the Northshire Abbey of the Stormwind Kingdom also obeys the leadership of the Archbishop. The two dioceses and the royal family's rule are a cooperative relationship that is mutually beneficial.

But outside these two parishes, the situation is different.

Dalaran only believes in the power of arcane magic. The wizard's money is all used for magic experiments. Who has the money to build a church for you?

The faith of the Ashes of Kul Tiras has been tarnished, and the inheritance of Holy Light has been almost cut off. But as an island country, there is nothing wrong with converting to the power of the Tidesages.

The people of Gilneas also believe in the Holy Light, but the bishop of that diocese is appointed by the royal family. As for the teachings of the Church of the Holy Light, I will listen to them if they are beneficial to me, and pretend not to know them if they are not beneficial to me.

The Church of Holy Light in the Kingdom of Alterac is in decline and has few believers, so we won’t mention it for now.

Finally, there is the birthplace of human holy light, Arathi Highlands, the land of the Kingdom of Stromgarde. There are many churches of holy light here, all built spontaneously by local people. The Church of Holy Light can send young priests to preside over prayers, but you want to send a bishop to unify all the churches. Sorry, I, Solas, don't want to.

The reason why Aragorn could become the bishop was because he was Galen's man, and Solas tacitly agreed. Otherwise, the Church of Holy Light here would still be in disarray.

…………

The priests left the cathedral and went back to wait for tomorrow's group job transfer ceremony, leaving only Garin and eight others in the church.

"The power of the Paladin is waiting for you young people to develop. I am old and unable to take on this important task!" The Archbishop smiled gently, "You are all the pride of the Holy Light Church!"

The Archbishop had never known that Aragorn was a Paladin, and Aragorn had never mentioned it, so the Archbishop thought that Aragorn was a priest like him, and by chance, he let Garin switch to become a Paladin.

Garin didn't say it out loud. After all, the hatred borne by a first-generation paladin and six first-generation paladins was different, so there was no need to fight for this title.

The Archbishop and Aragon left the cathedral, leaving only six young people. The Archbishop was their life mentor. Aragon looked to be in his forties, was very powerful, and was also a regional bishop, which made those who were not familiar with him feel restrained.

After they left, the atmosphere among the six people became much more lively. The oldest among them was Danas, who was twenty-eight years old, followed by Uther, Dathrohan and Fording, all in their early twenties. Turalyon was only sixteen years old, only less than three years older than Garin.

All of them were the best among their peers, and they began practicing their newly acquired powers in the afternoon. After a while, they were able to use the Holy Light Technique unique to the Paladin. As the eldest Paladin brother, Garin felt that he had to show off.

He taught everyone some tricks unique to the Paladins, and also taught them some skills of the Paladins, such as long-range attack judgment, condensing a hammer of holy light and throwing it at the target, such as dedication, infusing the power of holy light into the ground under the feet, which can be used when they are besieged.

Garin was also generous with other team skills such as Blessing of Strength and Blessing of Wisdom. Finally, Garin taught them how to learn Divine Shield. How can you, a Paladin, go out without knowing how to use Divine Shield?

Because of Garin's selfless teaching, Uther and his friends all called Garin their brothers, mentors and helpful friends. From then on, they were sworn brothers. They didn't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only asked...

No one knew who said the last sentence, but Garin's face changed and he immediately interrupted them. Seeing that it was getting late, he took them to his third-level castle in Holy White City to rest. He also went to a hotel and treated them to a big meal.

You must be kidding. Who wants to die on the same day as you? Not to mention that I am the youngest, you all will die in battle one by one. If this oath comes true, won’t I be worried that one day you will suddenly die in the face of unstoppable evil?

It is impossible for us to live and die together, it is impossible in this life. I, Jialin, will definitely die of old age. We are brothers, and I will definitely help you when you are in trouble!

Inside Garin's castle, several people not only sighed at the tall tree in front of the castle, but also praised Garin's luxurious aristocratic life. Even Danas, who was here for the first time, mocked Garin in a sarcastic tone for embezzling public funds and looting people's wealth.

How could they know that this was the system's default layout? Garin himself had only lived there a few times, and he knew that they were joking. After all, the prince of Stromgarde had a good reputation in human society. He was a generous person and not harsh on the people. Moreover, the residents of White City had a relaxed living atmosphere, and the city was prosperous and peaceful, so one could tell at a glance whether they lived a good life or not.

As the eldest Paladin, he had to stick to this position. He took out the Paladin training manual he had prepared in advance. It was a handwritten version, signed by Garin himself. He prepared it for future Paladin apprentices.

It contains analysis of most of the common skills of Paladins. Of course, the skills are not complete. He plans to release several revised versions later, each time to improve some holy light application techniques and update some talent skills.

For the whole night, Garin was instructing them on how to learn and apply some skills of punishment knights and healing knights. He had realized that none of these little brats were willing to be protection knights. They all just wanted to pick up a two-handed weapon and chop people.

Only Uther is better, but he also prefers to practice both punishment and healing. Especially Dathrohan and Danath, these two people are really irritating to Garen, they have changed their jobs to paladins, but they still think about chopping and chopping!

Finally, he threw the Paladin Training Manual to them. Out of sight, out of mind, Garin turned to send warmth to Turalyon. Because of their different backgrounds and the fact that they had never fought together, these four first-generation Paladins, although living in the same city, were just nodding acquaintances.

Garin discovered this, so just now he spoke to the silent Turalyon from time to time, carefully guiding him on the role of the power of Holy Light, so as not to let him feel like a marginal person, and quickly increased his favorability. The remaining few people also felt that the two were the youngest and had a common language, so it was normal that the two got along best.

This is exactly what Jialin is thinking about.

It is true that I want to get along with them sincerely, and it is also true that I want to poach them.

Uther is Terenas' chief confidant, Fordring has a large family and business in the West Wilderness, and Dathrohan will become the CEO of Stratholme in the future. They have already taken root in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Only Turalyon, as Galen knew, was the adopted son of a jailer, and was later accepted as a disciple by the archbishop. Both his parents had passed away, and he had not yet married. Such an easy target to dig out, would he not take action and return it to Lordaeron?

Jie Jie Jie!

Brother Turalyon, I will treat you well from now on.
