Menethil's Power

Chapter 222 Whitemane

Whitemane absently poked at the steak on the dinner plate, the fork was embedded in the steak and wouldn't even fall over, which was enough to show the thickness of the steak.

In addition to the farce-like test of crossing the river, the Royal Military Academy welcomes the freshmen to a full month of closed high-intensity military training. In terms of talent and will, it is necessary to determine which ones are worth cultivating.

Isaacs never thought that these 1000-plus [-] young people and the students who entered the school later could become pillars of talent. He only hoped that before the Northern Expedition, there would be [-] vigorous mid-level and low-level military officers who could deal with Blizzard’s technical employees at the same time. As for the problem of shortage, if talents in other fields can be cultivated incidentally, that would be a surprise.

The high-intensity training naturally caused a lot of crying. Young officers from the army do not need to participate in this kind of training that they have already experienced. They will have special courses.As for the other students, no matter whether they come from nobles or civilians, it is naturally impossible to have experience in this area, so it is almost like living in purgatory.And any identity in this place doesn't work, after all, even Prince Alsace doesn't have any privileges.

Fortunately, the food is still quite in place. After more than a month, many people's food intake has doubled directly, but the cafeteria seems to have anticipated this situation. Because of the large portion of the food, the taste can only be considered average.

The students who are trained to empty out the last trace of energy in their bodies no longer care about the taste and taste, but Whitemane, as a female pastor who has registered in the Church of the Holy Light, enjoys the privilege of not participating in this kind of physical training. The piece of beef was tasteless to her, and the girl's appetite was small, so the whole piece of steak was only missing a corner and remained unchanged.

Reynolds, who swallowed his portion whole, looked at Whitemane's dinner plate, "You don't want to eat?"

The girl nodded, "I'm full, I'll give you the rest." She pushed her plate over.

Renault unceremoniously forked the steak into his plate. After all, the two were childhood sweethearts, and sharing food was a normal behavior. Neither Renault nor Whitemane showed any unnatural expressions.

Although Reynolds Mograine was also an extremely talented clergyman, this status did not bring him the same preferential treatment as Whitemane, but instead received more attention.The Paladin profession has very strict physical requirements, so Lei Nuo's training intensity is twice as high as that of ordinary students, and he is not allowed to use any Holy Light abilities during the training process. Once a heroic Paladin finds any clues , then the training intensity will be doubled again, and it will really be like a dead dog after training.

To make a digression, the generous and upright Colonel Baldrige became the most terrifying man in the minds of 1000 to [-] students after he became the chief instructor.

Higher-intensity training means a larger appetite. Renault is very happy to have another steak. As for why he no longer asks for one from the cafeteria, it is because he knows very well that once the meal takes more than half an hour, he will be able to get it. Only raw beef left.

However, before the steak was placed on his own plate, another fork was inserted into the steak in the air, "I want it too." A vague voice sounded, and Bridget's cheeks were bulging, and he was chewing hard while being crisp Cut half of that steak with care.

Bridget also went through very strict training, but she had been trained by her father in the hands of Tyre, so she performed even better than most of the male trainees, and this good performance also reflects In terms of appetite.

Renault looked at the suddenly much smaller steak, and his mentality almost exploded. This was obviously not the first time, "Why don't you ask Alsace for food?" He asked angrily, "Isn't your relationship very good? "

This matter is somewhat secretive, but Reynolds, who is Bridget's friend, knows that the relationship between the two should soon be more than just friends.

"Don't mention it." It's hard to imagine that Bridget can speak while swallowing. The girl has a small mouth, so eating is as cute as a hamster. "That guy licks the plate cleaner than you."

Renault had nothing to say, so he could only spread his grievances on the beef on the plate.

When Renault and Bridget were talking, Whitemane didn't interrupt, looking absent-minded, with some confusion in his blood-red eyes.

Renault couldn't help sighing, "Are you still troubled?" He asked.

Whitemane nodded. They had already taken a class on the theory of the Holy Light. To be honest, this course had a subversive impact on Whitemane's belief. Due to his parents, Whitemane was instilled with the Holy Light as a She has always believed in the concept of God, but this class brought up a core concept, that is, the Holy Light is a philosophy rather than a religion.

This seems to be a complete fallacy. Does the Holy Light not need faith?
However, she couldn't question it, because the priest who taught this theory not only gave many examples of different ideas among clergymen, but she was also a girl who was no bigger than Whitemane, and not only had His stunning looks, and he is already a high-ranking priest.Powerful strength, exquisite appearance, and holy temperament, when Partress in a loose white robe stood on the podium, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Since childhood, Whitemane has always been praised by adults for her appearance and talent, but now she feels that she has been completely inferior, and a sense of inferiority lingers in her heart.And what made her even a little jealous was the close relationship between Patrice and His Royal Highness Isaacs.

It has to be said that the publicity effect of the Uncrowned on Isaacs' deeds can be described as top-notch. After Terenas acquiesced in his status as the crown prince, the Uncrowned began to silently promote him, so the people of Lordaeron knew Their prince is not only kind and approachable, but also the darling of the Holy Light, the hope of Lordaeron, a self-taught diplomat, an invincible warrior, and a wise and wise commander.

It is not surprising that Isaacs became the idol in the hearts of some boys and girls, and this worship may even reach the point of fanaticism.For example, Whitemane, a young girl is at the age of worshiping heroes, and her voluntary enrollment is even to join Isaacs' direct lineage, the Heaven's Punishment Legion, so there will be that question at the beginning.

But now, it was her idol who was denying the Light she knew.

Renault couldn't help sighing, he knew that this girl was sometimes terribly paranoid, "Actually, this concept is very simple." He tried to explain: "Holy Light is a philosophy rather than a religion, but he didn't say that he shouldn't believe in it, I don't think His Royal Highness Isaacs meant this, otherwise how could he get the favor of the Holy Light?"

"What exactly does that mean?" Whitemane asked a little confused.

"To put it simply, I want to tell us that the church's requirements are not the absolute standard for priests. We believe in the Holy Light, but we don't have to believe in the church, because the interpretation of the Holy Light is not in their hands." Renault paused Then, put on a mocking tone, "I think if Archbishop Alonsus Faol is still around, the Kingdom would never dare to use this kind of teaching material."

It has to be said that Renault sees it very thoroughly, and it is not for nothing that he is regarded by his father as his successor.

Whitemane seemed very incredible, "Since the church can't explain the Holy Light, then what is the Holy Light?" The girl had already begun to doubt life.

Renault shrugged, "This is the content that will be instilled in us in the future courses, but it is nothing more than the content of loyalty to the royal family of Lordaeron above all else. After all, this is the Royal Academy, how can it be possible for students to be taught by the church?" shackles."

He looked a little smug because he had made some great comments.

However, the young man didn't get the girl's admiring gaze. Bridget was not interested in this topic at all, and Whitemane also seemed half-understandable, so Renault could only end the topic resentfully in the end.

The next course is the tactical command course. Although the instructor this time is Matt Horner, the chief of staff of the Punishment Legion, Whitemane did not show any special enthusiasm. He has no interest in theory and war machines, so he has been immersed in his own thinking.

The reason why Isaacs asked Partress to teach this kind of philosophical holy light theory at the Royal Military Academy was because he knew that these students had not yet formed a fixed belief, so they were more likely to be changed in their thinking.However, Whitemane's situation is very special, and the conflict between two different ideas makes her feel very confused.

After finally waiting for get out of class to end, Renault and Bridget unfortunately had evening training, so Whitemane returned to his dormitory after eating alone. There is enough space on the college island, so the student dormitories are all single rooms.

Whitemane didn't want to take a break so early. She looked at the book of Holy Light with a cross pattern on the cover on her desk, and decided to clear up her thoughts.

First of all, the ideas of Isaacs and Partress are definitely not heresy. After all, the former is already the top hero-level paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the latter is already a high-level priest. This is unique in the church. , This can even show that the church's splitting of the Holy Light is wrong, otherwise why do most monks who have practiced for decades are comparable to teenagers and girls?
The corner of Whitemane's mouth couldn't help showing a wry smile. He wasn't even an official priest, so how could he have the right to question their theories?
But if the Holy Light interpreted by the church is wrong, then who should we believe?Who has the right to interpret the Holy Light?
Whitemane recalled the figure she saw at the end of the Bridge of Secrets back then, recalling the reverence she felt at the time, she slowly closed her eyes, and began to meditate as she had always done, but this time she focused on the figure in her mind. The illusory image of the Holy Light was replaced with a real image—Isaacs.

"Supreme Holy Light, please answer the call of your pious believers..."

Meditation is actually a process of self-hypnosis. Now that the object of worship was replaced by Isaacs, Whitemane began to deify him spontaneously, treating him as the incarnation of the holy light, the almighty savior...

Then there was a response.

violent response.

The holy light, which has always been unpredictable, came to her like a tide, which Whitemane had never experienced before. The huge energy of the holy light washed her soul, making her spiritual power almost unimpeded Break through the shackles and reach a new level.The power of the Holy Light continued to flow, leaving certain marks in her soul.

After finishing her meditation, Whitemane's eyes revealed an unbelievable gleam. She never imagined that upgrading her level would be so simple. Her parents needed hard training and long hours of pious meditation in exchange for an insignificant improvement in strength, but she only needed A simple meditation...

Whitemane suddenly understood. She understood why Partress, who was only a little older than her, had reached the level of a high-ranking priest. She obviously adopted the same meditation method as herself, using Isaacs as the object of prayer.

But if this is the case, where does His Royal Highness Isaacs' own strength come from?He is now a real heroic paladin!He has no one else to meditate on.

Could it be that he is really the Son of the Holy Light, the incarnation of the Holy Light?

Whitemane decided not to delve into this issue. She felt that all she needed to know was that His Royal Highness Isaacs was very great and that it was enough to follow in his footsteps. From the results of the meditation just now, it was even possible to draw a conclusion that Isaacs and Shengguang can even draw an equal sign.

The girl released the simplest lighting technique, and the warm light filled the entire room. Whitemane keenly found that his power of holy light was different. It became hotter and brighter, and there was a faint red light around the edge.

Whitemane didn't know what was different about this change, but she could be sure that this was the real power of the Holy Light.The girl waved away the lighting technique, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She no longer rushes to feel inferior, because she knows that Paltress just took the same shortcut as herself, and she is not better than herself to get there. Whitemane believes that he will catch up with her soon, because His own piety is far more ardent than hers.

Yes, devotion to the Light.

"Praise the Holy Light." Whitemane murmured to herself in a low voice. Only she knew whether the Holy Light she was referring to was the Holy Light of the Church, or a child of the Holy Light who was generally considered by the world, but In fact, they are just people who use the Holy Light as a tool to use.

But what does it matter?Could it be that the holy light he used and the holy light he borrowed from him were not holy light?
