Wayne looked at the pastor lady opposite him, then smiled politely and said, "No need to apologize, Ms. Paltress, just call me Wayne. As you said, I am indeed collecting a large number of books."
"A noble friend of mine wanted to build a large family library, and he entrusted this matter to me. This is one of the reasons why I traveled to Stormwind City on purpose."
The pastor lady seemed relieved when she heard this, and her face, which was slightly flushed due to nervousness, turned into a beautiful smile.
"You are such a reliable friend, Mr. Wayne."
Paltress hesitated for a second, then asked:
"Actually, Mr. Wayne, if you need to buy some books, we have some for sale in our church."
"But those are all handwritten copies, not printed copies for sale. I wonder if your friend is willing to purchase such books."
Wayne was a little surprised after hearing this. He had learned before that ever since the printing technology of the dwarf inventors was passed on to humans, handwritten books have become less and less. After all, copying books is too time-consuming and laborious, and the cost is also more expensive than printed books.
Most of the handwritten books handed down today are ancient books handed down from ancient times. They are of great collection value and most of them are collected by collectors.
So he raised his question.
"Are those manuscripts in the church ancient books? If they are, the collectors in Stormwind City should not refuse to buy them."
Hearing Wayne's question, Paltress seemed a little embarrassed, but as a priest, and an excellent temple priest, she often dealt with people of various identities, so she was quite good at talking to people.
The pastor lady explained gently: "Here's what happened, Mr. Wayne."
"You may have heard that our Church of Holy Light has taken in many orphans left over from the Second Orc War and built orphanages in many towns."
"In these orphanages, the pastors of the church teach the orphans by instructing them to copy books so that they can learn knowledge and read and write."
"Over the long term, in addition to the books left by the children themselves, our church also retains a large number of handwritten books, most of which are general books on enlightenment education and humanities and history."
"If Mr. Wayne is willing to buy, we will select a batch of the best manuscripts from these books, including some of the knowledge and insights that our church has collected that are hard to find on the market."
"And don't worry, the Holy Light Church never does anything to deceive others, and the price we give you will be much cheaper than the market price."
The knowledge collected by the Church of Holy Light.
Hearing this, Wayne immediately became interested. He had been thinking about finding an opportunity to contact the Cathedral of Holy Light in Stormwind City to see if he could find a master of holy light to help him. Now this incident was a good entry point.
So, he pondered for a few seconds, looked at the very beautiful Paltress, and said, "So that's how it is, Ms. Paltress."
"I have always respected the good deeds of the Holy Light Church, and I am willing to do my part to help those who are struggling in hardship. I am willing to spend money to buy the batch of books you mentioned."
"But before that, I would like to ask, what position did you hold in the Holy Light Church?"
Hearing that Wayne agreed to the deal, Paltress couldn't help but smile happily on her face.
She originally just wanted to give it a try, thinking that there was a high chance she would fail, but unexpectedly she succeeded.
After all, compared to the handwritten manuscripts copied by children, printed books purchased from regular bookstores are more suitable for the nobles' libraries.
If the Holy Light Church was not in a very tight financial situation, she would not be willing to do such a disturbing thing.
After hearing Wayne's next question, Paltress gathered her long golden hair, still with that gentle and soft smile on her face.
She made a gesture of blessing of holy light to Wayne again, and raised her slender palm lightly. A ball of energy emitting faint golden light and giving people a very warm and soft feeling was transmitted to Wayne, which actually made the demon hunter who had been suppressing the hell magic in his body feel relaxed and comfortable.
"Mr. Wayne, please rest assured about this."
"I am currently serving as a senior priest of the Holy Light Church, and I am responsible for handling matters related to rescuing orphans."
"I can take full charge of the matter I discussed with you."
"And I will report to my teacher, His Majesty Alonsus Faol, afterwards. He is a kind man and will definitely support my decision."
Teacher? Alonsus Faol? Hearing this name, Wayne was shocked. He couldn't help but look at the senior priest Paltress in front of him again, and began to wonder who this beautiful girl was. You know, Alonsus Faol is not an ordinary person. He is the Pope of the Holy Light Church, the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, and the founder of the Paladin profession. The first five Paladins in the human world can almost be regarded as disciples of this old man.
In the human world of Azeroth, he is definitely an important figure.
The girl in front of him actually called the other party teacher. Although she was probably not a close disciple passed down from master to apprentice, she was definitely an excellent priest who had received instruction from His Majesty Faol.
Wayne recalled the other person's name again and suddenly remembered something.
Senior Priest Paltress? No, it's Silver Priest Paltress, the female boss of the Silver Northern Army Champion Trial. In the Wrath of the Lich King version, she is also a well-known NPC.
After remembering the other party's identity, Wayne immediately had an idea.
He wants to be a good man and a big sponsor welcomed by the Church of Holy Light.
Judging from Paltris's performance just now, although she is quite young, as a high-ranking priest and a boss-level figure in the Silver Northern Expedition in the future, she is obviously very promising and a master of Holy Light who is worth winning over.
Moreover, young girls are easier to gain trust. Even if the other party cannot help him, being able to use her network to find other more powerful holy light users is also a very good choice.
