[Chapter 85 Generous Reward]
Varian certainly said that the armor was the same as the one Fording was wearing, and was also made of light cast iron and a large amount of rare materials.
In addition, there were two top-level war horses, some rare materials, and various professional knowledge and training notes.
“There are no items with the emblem of the Kingdom of Stormwind. This is to avoid possible trouble.” Fording took David to look at the things he brought, and introduced the woman in front of David: “This is Ilsa Corbin, a very outstanding young warrior.”
According to Fording’s introduction, Ilsa Corbin is a new batch of warriors trained by the Kingdom of Stormwind, one of the best ones.
According to the original arrangement, she would join the Knights of Stormwind or the Royal Guard, but Varian gave the young warrior a new mission: to protect Prince Anduin Wrynn.
At first, Ilsa did not understand the true meaning of this mission, until she met King Varian Wrynn in the forest outside Stormwind under the leadership of Mathias Shaw, the current leader of MI7, and realized the difficulty of this mission.
She had to follow the famous Paladin Tirion Fording to a mysterious place. In that place, she had to conceal her identity and protect the prince who also concealed his true identity.
Although there were many doubts, Ilsa did not refuse the task. The king’s appreciation made her full of motivation. She said on the spot that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would firmly complete the task.
Later, Mathias took Ilsa to meet Prince Anduin Wrynn and the legendary Paladin Tirion Fording. Only
then did Ilsa learn more about the details of the task from Fording: In fact, there was not much danger. As long as the two could ensure that their identities were not leaked, there would be no problem.
It was also at that time that Ilsa learned that most of the villagers in the village where she would live next were former members of the Defias Brotherhood.
I didn’t understand why His Majesty the King wanted to move his son to the home of his “mortal enemy”, but Ilsa believed that since she had accepted the task, she had to complete it firmly.
So, she still didn’t ask much, and followed Fording and Anduin to this place called Winter Village.
“Hello, my name is Ilsa Corbin.” Because she had already greeted him in advance, she would not call herself a warrior of Stormwind Kingdom here: “You can call me Ilsa.”
“Hello, Ilsa.” After David and Ilsa introduced each other’s names, they knew each other: “Here, no one will bother about your origins, as long as you don’t say it yourself, it doesn’t matter.”
“I understand, thank you for your reminder.”
“Just call me David.”
Ilsa and Anduin, who was aliased as Hope, will live in Fording’s wooden house, and Fording will start his journey again.
“I will stay in Ironforge for a while and make some arrangements. When I return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the huge disaster should have begun.”
Emotionally speaking, Fording would rather go back earlier to prevent everything from happening. But reason told him that it was no longer possible to prevent everything and eliminate the crisis in its infancy. What
he could do was to save as many people as possible after the crisis broke out so that the Kingdom of Lordaeron would not perish.
“I just hope that before that, Varian can solve all the troubles in Stormwind Kingdom.”
Fording made several plans, among which returning to Hearthglen and relying on the territory he had run for many years to fight against the Scourge was a must.
The trip to Stormwind Kingdom, Ironforge and David’s Winter Village were the back-up plans he arranged for himself.
With only Hearthglen, it was impossible to truly resist the Scourge that swept across the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, completely destroyed Lordaeron, and destroyed Quel’Thalas. He must have strong enough foreign aid.
“I’m afraid it’s difficult…” David estimated in his heart. The plot of Warcraft 3 is 20 years after the opening of the Dark Portal, including Arthas’ investigation of the Scourge plague, purification of Stratholme, search for Frostmourne, returning home to stab the old king to death, and leading the Scourge to sweep across the Eastern Kingdoms, all happened in this year.
In just one year, so many things happened, and various events were just one after another without any free time, which also meant that Varian did not have enough time to solve various problems.
Given the level of chaos within Stormwind, even if Varian wandered around the country 25 years after the Dark Portal opened, he might not be able to clean up the mess.
“Fight if you can, come back if you can’t!” David advised Fording at the right time: “As long as we can save everyone, Lordaeron can be rebuilt.”
“I know.”
The two watched Anduin and Ilsa move their daily necessities into Fording’s cabin, and then sorted out the rewards sent by Varian.
“Plate armor!” Fording had always despised David’s figure, thinking that he might not have the opportunity to become a glorious paladin, but he was once a staunch plate armor fan. When he was traveling across Azeroth, he only loved the plate armor profession. No non-plate armor profession could play for a long time, and all became trumpets and warehouses.
So Varian’s gift inadvertently hit David’s preferences. He looked at the plate armor in front of him happily: “But, aren’t the warriors of Storm Kingdom all super macho? The size of this plate armor seems a little small? Is it specially made for me?” Fording
didn’t answer, but introduced that this set of armor used a lot of rare materials, the main material of which was light cast iron, which means that this set of armor was specially made for paladins-before Anduin, Azeroth had no priests wearing plate armor. It’s not that you can’t wear it, but for priests, there is no such demand. There are already mages and shamans wearing plate armor, namely the famous Ronin and Thrall.
The whole set of armor is mainly a combination of purple and gold, especially the golden shoulder armor exudes a sacred glow, which makes David, a holy light user, feel very comfortable.
David found that this set of armor is similar to the Lightbringer set in appearance except that the helmet similar to the crown is missing.
“Put it away first. It is indeed a beautiful armor, but it is too conspicuous. It is not convenient to wear it out to see people for the time being.”
After putting the armor away, David looked at several other rare materials, mainly some rare metals. There are not many of these metals. There are only one or two pieces at most, and only a small amount of powder at least. There is an additional list of what they are, and the characteristics and specific effects of the materials are written.
“Put it with Will first.”
Finally, he looked at the pile of training notes. Compared with armor and rare metals, David valued this thing more: the training notes of the priest, the training notes of the paladin, the basic introduction of the mage, the basic introduction of the druid, the basic knowledge and training experience of the thief, and the experience of the hunter.
These things are far more important to David than those rare metals and a set of armor. These notes not only contain the basic knowledge of mages and druids, but also the experience of practitioners, so that beginners can better understand the relevant knowledge. In other
words, if there is a suitable candidate, with only these notes, he can master some mysterious power, and these are all specially requested by Fording, otherwise there would not be so many types, even the druid notes and hunter notes of the night elves were obtained.
In addition to the practice experience of the Holy Light Priest, there are also the experience of the Elune Priest. Although they are all classified as priests in the game, the priests of the night elves are actually priests of the Sisterhood of Elune, and are a different group from the Holy Light Priests who believe in the Holy Light.
Excited David flipped through it carefully again, and also saw the experience of the dwarf hunter, and even made more unexpected discoveries.
“Wow? How come there is knowledge about shamans?”
“During the first war with the orcs, Stormwind was the main force at the time. They were the first humans to come into contact with and fight with the orcs.” Fording briefly explained why Stormwind was able to come up with the knowledge of shamans: “After years of fighting, Stormwind has captured many orc prisoners.”
It is not uncommon to torture prisoners and interrogate them for intelligence information.
In order to better understand this enemy, Stormwind did not miss any information at the time. Shamans, which were once the most important belief and spellcaster of the orcs, were naturally classified and sorted separately.
However, when the orcs invaded Azeroth, they had already given up the belief in shamans. Therefore, although they knew the existence of spellcasters such as shamans through various means, the recorded information was very fragmented and lacked the support of actual practice experience.
“I understand.”
David finally sorted out the training experience in front of him, including the professions of Holy Light Priest, Elune Priest, Paladin, Mage, Night Elf Druid, Hunter, Assassin (Thief), Shaman, etc., and the pure warrior training can also be taken care of by several captains and Fording. There is also Ilsa Corbin, who is responsible for protecting Anduin, who is a genuine Stormwind warrior.
It can be said that his Winter Village’s “initial profession types” are rich enough.
“Now, Mark can choose what kind of knowledge to learn.” Mark has never been able to truly master the Holy Light, and he has no intention of continuing to compete with the Holy Light. He wanted to change his direction to learn.
There was no relevant knowledge before, but now the conditions are there. David is very curious about what he will choose.
“Maybe, the first human druid will be born in Winter Village.” Fording thinks that a botanist like Mark may choose the way of druid.
David thinks that Mark will become a shaman.
“A piece of light cast iron.”
“Deal!”
