Chapter 47 - The Countess
…………
The great magician Romans walked to the only wooden table in the room. There was a heavy box on it. Aurelia noticed when she walked in. Romans chanted the spell, and the buckle of the box automatically opened, and there was a spear inside. One end was a huge bright red blade, and the smooth tip looked like a tongue of flame.
"What is this?" the Regent asked subconsciously when he felt the extraordinaryness of the weapon.
"Leaderine's new weapon." Romans' eyes shone. When he pronounced the name of the female elf, the other party was also looking at him. In addition to being confused, his eyes were a little more confused.
"This is a blood-tempering spear." The mage added.
Leaderine reached for it. Romans made a gesture and the weapon automatically jumped into her hands. The weapon was well-made and felt good in her hands. Its length reminded her of what she had taken when she was a priest, and the weight of the blade was comparable to the warhammer she had already used to wielding, like... very natural.
"It seems that there is another warrior in Quel'thalas." Aurelia smiled slightly, "Then what exactly did you come to me for? Romans, won't just let me witness your 'generousness' to your fellow countrymen."
"Don't worry, Regent, listen to me. A few years ago, after Prince Kelthas destroyed our beloved Well of the Sun: many priests and priests said that the Holy Light was neither reliable nor useful, and was not used when needed most."
Leadline's green eyes met the sharp gaze of the great mage. "I said it too."
Aurelia turned to her and felt sad for Leadline. Her mentor Von Delor died, and her apprentice Galler died. The latter became a heartless person and was executed by her.
"Do you still think so?" the Regent asked intentionally or unintentionally, which was what Romans wanted to know.
“Still so.”
The mage raised his hand and stroked the flame blade of the spear with his fingers. "This is why I looked for you. If there is a way now... let the Holy Light favor you again, but not pray, but let the Holy Light listen to your orders and obey you, just like you can easily manipulate the blood-tempering spear, would you still want to use the Holy Light?"
"This is impossible. No one can command the Holy Light." Leadrin responded coldly.
Aurelia felt a little impressed by this former priestess. She no longer used the Holy Light, but she still retained her awe of the Holy Light. At the same time, Aurelia also agreed with her words. Looking back on the past, Aurelia once asked Nathanos, what is the Holy Light?
At that time, the lover's attitude was a little disgusted with this question. His answer was: Many people regard the holy light as a kind of faith and a noble place, but I think it is a kind of power, a kind of power belonging to light, and pious people can use it to illuminate the world, and fanatics will destroy everything in its name.
"Nothing is impossible. I have something to let you see." Romans chanted the spell, and Aurelia felt the twist of the teleportation. The study disappeared, and a strange room was replaced smoothly. Nearby was an arched balcony. The transparent fabric bulged from the inside, and the curtains were bathed in the soft and brilliant light shining from the other side.
"Where is this?" asked Leaderin.
"In the Traveler Square." The Regent judged it at a glance.
But Romans was not surprised. He walked to the balcony, gently reached out and opened the curtain, and signaled the two female elves to see.
When they walked through the entrance and looked down at a larger room, they felt like they were floating in their dreams. In the empty space, a glowing creature seemed to be constructed purely from energy and made up of luminous fragments. Aurelia was fixed in a short time, fascinated, and speechless.
The creature emits a flash of light, covering a wide range of the spacious room, with a somewhat wing-like outline.
Aurelia could feel that it emitted not only light, but also holy light. The holy light was washing the room and touching everyone in the room.
"What the hell is this?"
Romans was laughing and replied lightly: "Seldom seen." The great magician hugged his arms in front of his chest and looked proudly: "It comes from the outer realm, but it does not belong to that world. It is...it can be said to be a gift from His Highness. They captured it in a star fortress called Storm Fortress, and it is called Muru."
"Muru..." Leadrin repeated softly.
"From the information we have collected, he is perceptive, they are not affected by time, and are full of energy. You must have felt that they are the carriers of the Holy Light and the messengers of the Holy Light. The prince means to use it instead of those who can no longer use the Holy Light, that is, you."
"So it follows your command?"
"Yes. And through it we can command the Holy Light. We now only need a container: a voluntary participant. This person must have knowledge about the Holy Light and not feel morally uneasy because of dominating the Holy Light."
Aurelia's brain was running rapidly, and the person was undoubtedly Leah Delin, but why did Kelthas suddenly find Leah Delin? What was his real purpose in bringing this luminous body back?
"Okay." Just as Aurelia was thinking about the pros and cons, Leadrin had already spoken, "I accept your invitation. If the process is as you said, I'd be happy to bear it." Aurelia wanted to stop her, but now it was Leadrin herself who would.
Romans nodded, let go of his arm and made a gesture. The magical energy swept the female elf, and then she stood on the ground in the hall. She raised her head and could observe this brilliant entity more clearly. Her heartbeats faster and her throat could not breathe. Standing in its flashing light, she felt very small and insignificant.
"Kneel down and raise your weapon." Romans instructed.
Leadrin knelt on one knee and raised her spear with both hands. Romans placed one hand on her shoulder, and the other hand reached towards Muru, and chanted a strange spell softly. This language seemed to be unsuitable for the voice of a mortal.
Then, in an instant, it happened.
Time seemed to have stopped. The hall was silent. For a moment, she felt like she was floating in the void...
It hit her.
When she summoned the Holy Light as a high-level priest, the Holy Light bathed her and filled her with warmth, but this time it was completely different. This time it felt like the Holy Light was to tear her to pieces, as if to destroy her soul.
In a moment, her body seemed to be turned out from inside to outside. Then she heard a music in her mind. She knew what the creature was, it was Naru, and wanted to communicate with her. That feeling, that feeling full of holy light, was preserved. Now the holy light is inseparable and under her command. She could feel the holy light flowing in her body, like the impermanent fire. Leadrin concentrated her thoughts and looked down at her hands. Seeing the light wheel of the holy light wrapped around her hands, she smiled.
