Chapter 2 - Questioning the Faith
…………
Southsea Town is still so lively. Nathanos has not been to this place for a long time. The same as the first time, it was Leraine who invited him here this time. It seems that the impact of the war on this place has ended.
Well, we have to admire the national strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which allowed all the places affected by the war to recover quickly.
Without the close arrangement of houses, Nathanos felt that the environment here was more comfortable than the main city of Lordaeron. It was neither oppressive nor as deserted as Marris Farm. The more he thought about it, the more he became lost in thought. In the end, he didn't
I accidentally collided with a pedestrian on the road.
"Sorry." His eyes glanced at that person, but fortunately the other person also shook his hand and did not pursue further.
"Weird!" Nathanos turned back to look at the man, and noticed that there was a man of similar stature following him. They looked very strange, they all wore hoods, and their walking posture seemed to be very knowledgeable.
People. But they seemed to be very careful, whispering and plotting something.
"Mage? Here?"
The most special thing is that the two people have the aura of magic, especially the one who collided with him. The magic power seems to be very powerful. Although he only took a glance, Nathanos still saw that the man had white hair.
, his eyes are dark and deep, and his face is full of wrinkles.
Who are they? Nathanos wanted to follow these two people, but after thinking about it, maybe he was too sensitive. They might just be commissioners sent by Dalaran to perform some secret mission. Aren't all mages so mysterious?
"Stop! There are intruders in the castle."
A sudden cry brought Nathanos back to his senses!
'What? Are there enemies here?' He thought with some surprise, but soon he discovered that it was just three children playing games. The one who spoke was a girl with light blond hair and wearing a pink dress.
With a serious look on her face, she pointed at something on the ground. Nathanos noticed that it was a caught frog.
"Do you think you can escape from this palace of holy light and take our secrets with you? Veshas, interrogate this criminal immediately." The girl said again, with a dark-skinned boy behind her.
When he walked up, he looked a little scared, maybe because he was younger.
Weshas came out and saluted the girl. "I'm honored, madam!"
Madam! Nathanos raised the corners of his mouth, feeling that their words were interesting, so he continued reading.
"Tell me...tell me everything! Otherwise I will dig out your secrets with my own hands!" Veshas shouted to the frog. The little guy who was bound by the rope puffed up his cheeks and called to him.
Two sounds. Weshas deliberately took a step back and said to the girl with some horror: "He doesn't speak, madam. I know he keeps secrets! Evil secrets."
The girl frowned and ordered another brown-haired boy with an unhappy expression: "My warrior, destroy this monster!"
"These infidels will be purified, madam!" Compared to Weshas, the boy's voice was very loud and full of confidence. He took a step forward, then made an attack gesture towards the frog, and then unknown
Why? He suddenly staggered back, as if he had been seriously injured.
"Ah! It gave me a fatal blow! I'm going to die..."
After the girl waited for him to fall, she angrily said to the frog: "Mograine fell? You have to pay the price for it! Resurrection, my warrior! Resurrection!"
The girl pretended to cast a healing spell on the boy on the ground. The boy immediately opened his eyes and stood up.
"Fight for you, my lady!"
The girl said again: "We fight side by side!" As soon as she finished speaking, the three children surrounded the frog at the same time. The little guy who they regarded as a monster seemed at a loss at this moment.
"What are they going to do?" Nathanos couldn't help but want to ask, but he got the answer immediately. The three children began to trample the frog mercilessly, each time with more force.
Nathanos's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "Stop!" He rushed over and roughly pushed the girl who led him away.
"Sally!" shouted the boy who was "cured" by the girl, and hurriedly helped the person he was talking about up. At the same time, Nathanos gave a cold look in his eyes and Weshas took a few steps back in fright.
A poor frog is held in the palm of the hand.
"Who are you?" Sally stood up and shouted to Nathanos, dissatisfied with his intrusion for no reason and disrupting the "battle".
Nathanos glared at her hard and replied in this way to shut her up. At the same time, he focused on the child next to the girl. In fact, when Sally called out the child's name,
He knew the other party's identity and was shocked by it.
Mograine, of course he knew this name. To be precise, it should be a surname. During the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, Uther ordered a group of paladins to raid Orgrim's rear. There was one named Alexander.
Rose Mograine's paladin first broke through the orc defenses and made great contributions in that mission. It seems that this child should be the descendant of that hero, but Nathanos is very strange and has always been kind and honorable.
Why are the descendants of the famous Holy Knight so cruel?
"Why did you hurt Sally?" Raynor Mograine asked.
"Save this 'intruder'!" Nathanos handed the frog in front of them. The two children were instantly frightened, especially Sally. She tripped over a small stone and fell to the ground again.
On the ground, the frog was completely unsightly. Its left hind limb was crushed, its right hind limb was severely fractured at right angles, and blood-red internal organs were protruded from under its abdomen. Even its tongue was stuck out and was weak.
He took it back to his mouth again. A small stream of white liquid flowed on Nathanos' palm. He didn't feel sick. On the contrary, he felt sad because the life in his hand was passing quickly, and he couldn't save it. He could only
Help him escape from the ravages of these "judges".
"You are the devil." He said these words harshly, leaving the crying Sally and the other two children at a loss.
Not long after walking, the frog in his hand showed no signs of life. Nathanos packed it in a small wooden box and found a secluded place to bury it. His mood was very heavy at the moment, not just because of a weak man.
Life had been treated unfairly, and more importantly, those three children, why did they do this? Nathanos had never seen such a cruel game. He once thought that only anger could make people lose their minds, just like back then
After trying to persuade Alleria to no avail, he had the experience of shooting animals everywhere in the forest. And now, he also discovered that besides anger, there is one more thing that can make people lose their minds - faith!
How could this happen? He was confused, how could those who worshiped the Holy Light do such a thing?
"Arthas." Nathanos softly called the name of the Prince of Lordaeron. Today was the day he became a Paladin. Nathanos should have been happy, but at this moment he was only worried. He hoped...sincerely hoped
