Chapter 264 Whispers in My Arms
The Paladin's Holy Light buff only lasts for one minute, commonly known as the "60-second invincibility" in Hearthstone...
Temporarily grants immunity to all physical and magical attacks for one minute, enveloping the caster in holy light and allowing them to move... but reduces damage taken by half.
The teacher explained the signature skills of the Paladin hero class to his apprentice.
Strictly speaking, this is also magic, holy light magic... the power of the Naaru!
The Naaru always hear the prayers of righteous souls throughout the universe. Logically, only the truly pure, kind, or just should receive a response from the Holy Light, but this is not the case; the Naaru are alive...
Since it is a living organism, it is possible for it to make a mistake in judgment.
Of all the countless prayers in the universe, who is truly devout?
There's always a way to deceive one's own heart... The paladins of the Scarlet Crusade are all bloodthirsty and insane. They can also use holy light spells, and their spells against undead creatures are extremely powerful. They can kill dark evils with the energy of light with ease. The retribution paladins are dedicated to killing.
The Knights of the Holy Light Church's Inquisition, each wearing an inquisition mask and clad in golden armor, walked with halos around them, looking incredibly imposing.
Only Marcus understood that paladins also needed the assistance of sacred objects when casting spells, and that many times the incantations they chanted actually drew out the power of the sacred covenant.
Besides the great hammer and the holy sword, most paladins carry a book with them, which contains the power of holy light.
The Holy Book is key for paladins to use some powerful spells.
......
Why did Marcus, who had escaped, end up in the Syndicate's cellar with Erin?
This is the answer Lorraine wanted.
Unfortunately, when Marcus woke up, he saw him beating Lai Fu... no, he woke up to see him torturing Prince Oridon... He personally let the puppet cut off the bandit leader's head and swallowed the remnant soul.
Having witnessed it firsthand and with irrefutable evidence, the already sensitive Marcus lost his mind until he collapsed, his strength exhausted once more.
This warrior should actually be a protective knight... The original paladins were trained from soldiers who commanded troops. They wore plate armor, carried holy swords, chanted magic, guided holy contracts, and were once like saviors, slaying evil and demons.
Lorraine's respect for paladins was genuine, because he had seen many of the great generals leading armies as a child being paladins...
Paladins are usually nobles; they hold high positions, live in luxury, and possess exceptional strength.
Protective knights like Marcus, who rose from ordinary Silver Hand knights to generals and then underwent training and infusion of holy light to learn holy light magic, primarily focused on charging into battle.
Therefore, Marcus is a protection paladin...
Is a Protection Paladin a god?
"Protection Paladins are a jack-of-all-trades..."
The two men's conversation drifted off-topic. Lorraine, supporting Eileen with one hand, discussed with the teacher how Marcus had managed to escape from a large group of people while carrying a woman.
Why is Invincible so overpowered?
Is the Paladin really a bugged class?
If being invincible is so overpowered, how did Marcus and Irene end up as prisoners...?
The only answer is to ask the person involved.
Lorraine looked down at the girl with a faint breath... Eileen was young, a genius magical girl... a rare talent even in Dalaran. This novice mage, not even twenty years old, was already much more capable than many apprentices in their thirties who still couldn't be promoted.
Her teacher, Joseph, was only a mid-level mage.
A specialist mage primarily focused on inscription research, unlike typical fire or ice mages who specialize in offensive combat. Joseph discovered that Eileen also possessed talent in enchanting and glyphs...
The other Taylor was also a genius.
On Wolf Island at that time, among the other show-off companions—a swordsman, a carpenter, and a prince's attendant—only Master Joseph, Miss Irene, and Taylor survived and were captured and imprisoned in the Undercity dungeons.
Joseph died on the spot, and his soul was absorbed by Lorraine, who upgraded his runes and became a Death Knight Commander.
Taylor and Eileen were rescued by Aegwynn, who went by the alias Master Erwin, and taken as his disciples. Nominally, the Plaguebringer Lorraine, Eileen, and Taylor became the personal disciples of the president of the Undead Research Association...
Afterwards, Eileen and Taylor were sent to help Lorraine infiltrate Dalaran... Taylor broke free from the control of the Shadow of Oblivion, exposing the three of them.
Taylor, acting as a traitor, identified Eileen and Lorraine...
Upon leaving Dalaran, Eileen was surrounded by Master Yuviel's men, who planned to execute her along with everyone else who had evacuated from Dalaran, framing the Forsaken and igniting war... to break the possible pact between Dalaran and the Forsaken, thus achieving Master Ansrem's objective.
To achieve his goal and escalate the conflict, Yuval killed Taylor on the spot, taking his head as evidence to impeach the Sun Reaper in the Kirin Tor Council...
After the Blood Elf's representative, the Blood Knight Commander Countess, came to deliver the news of Kael'thas, there seemed to be no further developments.
In fact, Lorraine witnessed a human tragedy as soon as he left Dalaran!
What followed was the fierce battle at the Dalaran Pit, where the tide of undead resurfaced from Lake Lordamere... Lorraine emerged victorious.
While considering whether to advance, they were surrounded by the lake. They wanted to go to Wolf Island but were refused. They had no choice but to swim to the lakeside cabin in the northeast corner... and then they discovered the Syndicate's base.
They encountered Prince Oridon, who was handling the aftermath...
The last descendant of the Alterac royal family, now the bandit chieftain, revealed all the secrets he knew.
All of this has happened in just one day...
The events that occurred were numerous and interconnected.
Lorraine had already guessed what had happened to Eileen; he just wanted to confirm what he had seen and heard with Marcus and Eileen themselves, to verify his teacher's and his own judgment.
Before being kicked out of the hidden plane of Dalaran by Master Merlin, Master Merlin said to Lorraine meaningfully, "Humanity's greatest flaw is that it never learns from its mistakes, always repeating the same tragedies. The greatest danger doesn't come from enemies... The Council of Tirisfal was dissolved because of its disunity and infighting... Even now, Rhonin has never been liked by the elders of the Kirin Tor..."
What Lorraine wanted to ascertain was whether the alliance had already begun its next offensive, and whether they were colluding with anyone...
Undercity seems to be in an extremely dangerous situation, and its fall seems inevitable!
.......
Lost in thought... Lorraine stood there, embracing Eileen, reminiscing about the day's events.
I just wanted to go back to the city, why are there so many complications!
What happened to Eileen? Should they be sent back to Undercity together? What about Mr. Marcus? As an Alliance paladin, let alone Undercity, wouldn't he be hacked to death even at Tarren Mill, the Forsaken's stronghold, while Marcus himself becomes a spy...?
......
"What are you doing?"
"Teacher, I'm wondering what to do next..."
......
"Wake them up! Two grown people, you can't just stuff them into a bag... If you try to restore them to health, can you carry them and keep running?"
“I see a lot of wood outside, so I’ll make a dog sled and pull it…back home.”
......
“Fool, this is going uphill, through enemy territory. Dog sledding...who will be the dog...and you could have just woken them up...why go through all this trouble.”
"I don't mind... they're badly injured... I'm afraid I won't be able to wake them up..."
......
"Are you going to stay here to recover from your injuries?"
"Perhaps, it's possible."
......
Lorraine really wanted to rest here for a while. Just thinking about it, these past few days have been quite a whirlwind of activity, going up and down mountains and into the water...
The battles continued, and the rewards were plentiful.
However, he has a lot of valuable items that he can't use or deliver, so he's still on the run.
Being alone was fine, but I happened to run into two old acquaintances.
Let's just rest here for a bit.
"At least wake them up first, and Marcus too. If he wakes up again and attacks you, are you going to fight him or not...? It's only natural for the Alliance to fight the Horde, and it's only fair for the Horde to kill the Alliance in return..."
"We...are friends..."
"That's bullshit! Silly kid..."
"Let's talk about it when you're awake... Teacher, I'm here for you... It'll be fine!"
......
Lorraine shook Eileen's shoulder again, hoping she would wake up...
Eileen's breath was very weak. Lorraine shook her forcefully, and the girl frowned, letting out a soft moan...
I'm about to open my eyes...
