Part-time BOSS

In the world of the sky, a high lord is a very high-end honorary title, its status is still above that of a duke. Usually only leaders of important military organizations are eligible to receive this title. For example, Alexandros Mograine, the high lord of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Another example is Anduin Lothar, who also served as the high lord when he led the Stormwind Restoration Army.

I have to say that this price is quite high, but compared with the Lord Protector, the Great Lord is still a little less interesting.

Since you want to poach someone, you have to buy it at a premium.

Murphy did not respond, but asked instead, "Are you sure you don't plan to maintain the Kingdom of Alterac? This is the inheritance of our Perenold family for thousands of years, and you are going to sell it like this?"

Invincible Sand Sculpture (King of Nanhai): "Is this a game? Don't take it too seriously."

Victor (Raven King): "Actually, we don't want to, but the situation doesn't allow it. You don't know. The Holy Light Church has directly sent us an ultimatum, saying that some members of our Alterac royal family are colluding with the cult. , desecrated the glory of their ancestors, and wanted to send the Judgment Knight to 'purify' the evil forces entrenched within the royal family.

Now that it's all said and done, we must either surrender to Godwin or go to war.

But can we fight? The big deal is that everyone is crazy about the Holy Light. When the Golden Holy Tree BUFF is added, everyone will become an army.

There are not even a few adventurers left here, especially priests and paladins. They all went to Lordaeron to gain reputation and gain buffs. As long as Godwin gives the order, it is estimated that the adventurers alone can destroy Alteran. Gram was bulldozed. "

Aidan (Lord Protector of Alterac): "Colluding with a cult? Is this a thing? Their Holy Light Church can't just talk about it, right?"

Darkseid (King Disi): "Why not? Didn't that boy Sigret defect to the Eternal Dark Moon? There is also the old man who plays fel magic and the old man who plays necromancy. Let's match up." The Reynolds family can be said to be a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."

Now I have to add the incarnation of the disaster dragon, Murphy added in his heart.

Zhu Genbao (King of Alterac): "Furthermore, Godwin also accused us of treating the nobles harshly and harming the warriors. He said that we had forced Count Adalion and others to rebel and seized their territory and castle. This is so despicable. What we did was not what a noble royal family should do, and we wanted to punish the fallen descendants of our ancestors.

The letter was probably written with the help of an NPC, and that's called a word-spelling person. "

Listening to the descriptions of several people, Murphy gradually came to have a clear understanding of the current situation. It seemed that things were indeed not good.

There are a lot of accusations, and they can be used as excuses if they really want to start a war.

Alterac was originally weak, but now that Lordaeron's strength has greatly increased, it is understandable that these people want to give in and show off.

But if the price is high and the money is paid back, we Alterac brothers will be sent away. I can't bear it.

You have to pay more!

"Have you signed it?"

Kissing French Fries (King Solstice): "Of course not. We brothers have agreed to advance and retreat together. We must communicate this with you clearly first." 0

Murphy sighed in his heart, thinking that you guys have a certain baseline.

"I'll talk to Godwin and see if we can increase the price." Murphy said, sighing a little. Although he had no interest in running the kingdom's territory, he thought about how the Perenold family had grown up since then. , then the king died in battle, and now the prince died and walked away, split into five, it will be completely merged into the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which is still a bit emotional.

While thinking about it, he sent the private message.

Aidan: Brother Godwin, are you there?

——————

The city of Lordaeron - at the foot of the golden tree.

The Golden Holy Tree is now more than two hundred meters high. Its majestic trunk towers into the clouds, and its lush branches and leaves are shining with golden light, covering the sky above the city like a golden cloud.

From time to time, golden leaves fall from the trees.

The thin holy light spilled from the gaps between the branches and leaves, giving the city of Lordaeron a golden halo, full of sacred aura.

At this moment, countless priests, believers, and knights were prostrate, praying, and praising the name of the Holy Light around the Golden Tree.

There are also countless adventurers who use holy light and are constantly casting holy light spells on the golden tree.

"The great golden tree, the great incarnation of holy light, use your benevolent power to protect humble mortals like us."

"The great dream comes true, the great grace comes, and the supreme will of the Holy Light redeems our devout souls."

Around the golden tree, countless people of Lordaeron are praying, chanting the miracle of the great golden tree and chanting the mercy of the great holy light.

King Godwin of Lordaeron stood at the front of the team and took the lead in praying.

The brilliance of the holy tree was extremely dazzling, its brilliant golden color even eclipsing the sun.

This radiance exudes the power of holy light. No matter what diseases or injuries people have, they can all be cured.

Even the skeletons in the cemetery of Lordaeron City were completely purified by the Holy Light and were finally no longer refreshed. Let those players who rely on brushing skeleton ghosts to level up lament again and again.

But for those NPC citizens, for those knights of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and for the priests of the Holy Light Church, being able to bathe in this holy light and live in this infinitely bright city, Luo The people of Danlon have never been so happy.

The only disadvantage is probably that it is inconvenient to sleep at night.

Archbishop Alonsos Faol looked at the enthusiastic scene in front of him and nodded secretly in his heart. He seemed to have made the right choice when he chose Godwin among the princes to place his bet.

In the past, the Church of Holy Light could not even be ranked among the top three political forces in Lordaeron. Now it has almost completely controlled the political power of Lordaeron. Part of this is due to the invasion of the Orcs. Without the Orcs, Threat, how can the Holy Light become a real political force?

But the biggest reason is still inseparable from the support of the king.

It is inseparable from the call of the God-favored one called ‘The Glory of Holy Light’.

The combination of royal power and religious power undoubtedly achieves the effect of 1+1 being greater than two.

The Holy Light Church relied on the royal power to gain the power to rule, and the king also relied on the Holy Light Church to eliminate the nobles and princes who were dissatisfied with him.

Now the mutual benefit of this cooperative relationship has reached its peak.

Suddenly, a beam of attention fell from the golden branches and leaves of the tree. Godwin's entire body was shrouded in a beam of light, and he slowly floated up.

“Oh my god, it’s divine revelation!”

"It is the revelation of the great God of Light!"

"Praise the Holy Light!"

Alonsos Faol (Archbishop of Light): "Don't be nervous, everyone. As a favored person of the God of Light, His Majesty Godwin has nothing strange about receiving divine enlightenment. Please keep quiet, everyone."

The archbishop's words were more effective than anything else. No matter the nobles, civilians, knights, priests, or even those fearless adventurers, they all closed their mouths and watched everything in front of them quietly.

Behind the Archbishop, the Royal Archmage looked at the scene in front of him, his expression was complicated and unspeakable.

For a long time, the three forces of the Royal Mage, the Royal Knights, and the Nobles have jointly maintained the political balance of Lordaeron.

Royal mages have always enjoyed a respected status because they master the extraordinary power of arcane magic. They are inextricably linked to Dalaran. They master mysterious arcane magic and many ancient secrets. They are also the leader of Tiris. An important member of the Law Council, it can be said that the Royal Mage has always been an important political faction in Lordaeron.

But now, with the king's full tilt towards the church, this balance has been completely broken.

Unfortunately, the few princes they supported failed to achieve anything at all, and that crazy girl Morgan Lisa ran out and went crazy. Mages all have free-spirited personalities, and it is difficult for them to work together and unite like church members.

It would be great if Arthas inherited the throne...

The Royal Archmage thought with regret that as a close advisor to King Tenaris, he had some understanding of King Tenaris's attitude toward heirs. Although the king chose his eldest son Godwin as his heir, he was by no means the heir. I really want to pass the ball to him.

The rumor that the eldest prince assassinated the king might be true.

The Archmage looked at Godwin floating in the beam of light and thought with some malicious intent.

At this moment, Godwin found himself standing in an endless field of light.

There was a dazzling golden color all around, and there seemed to be something looking down at him in the sky. He could feel that there was scrutiny, appreciation, and pity in the eyes that were looking at him.

The gaze seemed to come from another extremely distant world, crossing the boundaries of time and space. It seemed as if it was very close at hand, but also as if it was far away at the end of the universe.

That supreme feeling made him feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

Is this a god? Godwin thought.

Mysterious voice: "My child, Godwin, you have done a good job. You have completed the mission I gave you and successfully planted the golden tree. The power of the Holy Light has finally taken root in this world."

[System prompt: Complete the original plot mission - [The Birth of the Golden Tree], which is the second step of the [Source of Holy Light] mission line. You have obtained 1,000 plot points and started the next mission. 】

Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Great God of Light, it is my pleasure to serve you. It is an honor for me."

Mysterious voice: "God of light? Haha, do you think so, that the person you are talking to is a so-called 'god'?"

Godwin was confused for a while, "Isn't it?"

Mysterious voice: "The so-called God of Light is just my spokesperson in Azeroth. He is one of my many chosen ones, an extraordinary being who has gained some power from me.

My true identity is far beyond your imagination. I am the Holy Light, the controller of all the power of the Holy Light, and the true God worshiped by thousands of Holy Light believers in the world. My will spreads throughout the universe, where you are The world is just an ordinary corner among the thousands of worlds under my control.

My power is too strong to come to your world.

My will is too vast. Once mortals perceive my existence, they will be irreversibly assimilated by the Holy Light and become part of the power of the Holy Light.

Only through the Golden Sacred Tree can mortals talk to me without being harmed. This is also an important reason why I want you to plant the Golden Tree.

As for my name, you can call me - Supreme Will. "

Supreme Will! Godwin was extremely excited. Even though he could not sense the other party's existence and could only talk through the golden tree, he still felt joy and joy, calmness and trembling. These contradictory emotions appeared in him at the same time.

For the first time, he knelt down devoutly in front of the great power without any thought of resistance.

Supreme Will—only such a title is worthy of a great master.

Mysterious voice: "Your world is a very special existence, a very special point in this universe, so your mission is also very important. I want you to convey the will of the Holy Light to every corner of this world." .

Let the light of the golden tree illuminate every shadow in this world.

Let your world be baptized by the Holy Light.

Let the laws of the Light replace the laws of mortals.

Do you have the courage to accept this sacred mission? "

Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "I do! I am willing to accept this task!"

Mysterious voice: "Very good, then complete this mission, and I will give you power. The real power is not the false appearance, but -"

boom! Godwin felt his brain buzzing, and his whole body seemed to be penetrated by holy light. Every cell, every drop of blood, and every soul in him was invisible at this moment.

The power of the Holy Light purified the darkness in his heart and every evil thought hidden in his subconscious. At this moment, he felt as if his soul had been sublimated and purified.

Oh my god, is this really just a game? This feeling……

This feeling was completely beyond description in words. He wanted to cry loudly with joy, but couldn't shed tears. He wanted to laugh with joy, but couldn't make a sound.

Mysterious voice: "Go, my child, to complete your great mission..."

The sound gradually died away.

Finally, Godwin slowly fell from the beam of light.

That feeling also disappeared.

Godwin couldn't help feeling disappointed, ah, it was such an indescribable experience.

As soon as he turned around, several high-level officials from the kingdom gathered around him.

The first one to speak was the Royal Archmage.

"Ah, Your Majesty Godwin, congratulations on creating such a miracle. It seems that the power of the Holy Light is enough to take on the important task of maintaining this world. The Parliament of Tirisfal can finally put down this burden, abandon worldly chores, and concentrate on the study of magic. Mystery.”

(Isn’t your Holy Light Church awesome? Then you will shoulder the burden from now on, and I won’t care about it.)

Godwin glanced at the Archmage, but smiled calmly, "Although the power of the Holy Light is enough to shoulder the important task of protecting the world, the Kingdom of Lordaeron still needs the assistance of mages. In addition to fighting evil, there are many things that require mages. With help, the royal family of Lordaeron will continue to provide support to the royal mage."

(If you want to leave, just work for me honestly, unless you don’t want the salary anymore.)

The archbishop nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the archmage, and said to himself that you guys who play magic should just work for the church honestly from now on.

At the same time, he was also satisfied with Prince Godwin's sophisticated political language.

The key to playing politics is to fight without breaking up. No matter how conflicting the situation, you must be able to speak your mind.

Alonsos Faol (Archbishop of Light): "Your Majesty Godwin, what kind of revelation has the God of Light given you?"

Godwin smiled slightly, "First of all, I must clarify that it was not the God of Light who gave me divine enlightenment, but the truly great existence behind the God of Light, the true master of the power of Holy Light - the Supreme Will.

The so-called God of Light is just the Holy Spirit who controls the power of Holy Light in our world, and the Supreme Will is the true God who controls the power of Holy Light in the entire universe. "

What!

This sentence directly made the archbishop's face look ugly.

This sentence may seem light, but it is a shock to the Light Church.

In religious organizations, power comes from the interpretation of beliefs. Whoever has the power to interpret beliefs has the right to speak.

Therefore, the teachings of the Holy Light Church are so serious that every word cannot be easily changed.

Not to mention that Godwin’s words are related to who the Holy Light Church believes in, which is the core issue of the doctrine.

The Church of Light has always worshiped the God of Light, or the Holy Light itself.

The Holy Light itself is a very broad thing. For the Holy Light Church, the Holy Light is just a kind of power, an energy with a positive meaning, just like the magic power of the mages. The Holy Light is certainly worthy of praise, but it is more like A tribute to energy.

In the light doctrine, it is the great god of light who gives them the holy light.

The God of light is the object of faith.

Now Godwin has directly reversed everything. The Holy Light itself is an extension of the Supreme Will, and the God of Light is just a sign and an administrator.

To the outside world, it actually doesn't matter who is the boss, since they are all playing Holy Light anyway.

But within the church, the right to interpret is the right to rule.

Whoever has the power to interpret doctrine has the power to communicate with God and also has the power to rule.

In the past, believers believed whatever the church said.

But if the God of Light is suddenly rejected, will what the church said in the past still be considered the truth?

In the future, wouldn’t it become that believers will believe whatever Godwin says?

How could Archbishop Fao not be shocked by this.

Even if you want to say something, we have to discuss it and give the believers a reasonable explanation after we agree on it.

For example, the God of Light is the incarnation of the Supreme Will, a trinity or something.

If you start talking directly, you are trying to seize the leadership of the Light Church.

He looked at Godwin seriously, "Your Majesty Godwin, do you know what you are talking about?"

Godwin ignored him calmly, "Of course I know what I'm talking about. What's wrong, Your Excellency Archbishop, are you questioning me, your king, the chosen one of the Holy Light?"

This time it was the Royal Archmage's turn to watch the joke.

The Archmage looked at Archbishop Fa'ao with gloating, "Old guy, you have today too."

Archbishop Fao stared at Godwin for a long time.

Suddenly he smiled.

"Of course not, it's just that there are certain tenses in hearing such an astonishing truth. His Majesty Godwin is worthy of being the one chosen by the God of Light to receive such an astonishing divine revelation.

It is an even greater honor for the Holy Light Church to gain contact with the great Supreme Will.

It seems that the Holy Light Church will be led by His Majesty in the future. "

Archbishop Fa'ao is very decisive. Since you want to compete for the right to interpret the doctrine, then I will directly hand over the leadership of the Holy Light Church to you and deeply bind it to the royal power.

Whatever achievements you achieve in this way are also the achievements of the church.

No loss inside or out.
