Chapter 48 Ritual (Happy Lantern Festival to everyone!)
The poet said:
Among the myriad things in this world, there are only three things that cannot be found:
The moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, you in the dream!
There are three things I love in this world:
The sun, the moon and you!

The sun is morning, the moon is evening,
You are with me day and night!

When you smile,

It's spring!

Arthas seemed to be struck by a hammer of punishment, and he stood there in a daze. She was not a stunning beauty, but she was in his taste! There was such beauty in the world. The haze of the past seemed to be blown away by the wind.

At this time, an old man with unshaven beard approached him: "Arthas, go in quickly. Meet everyone, the ceremony is about to begin."

Arthas awkwardly turned his gaze away from Jaina's little face, trying to regain his composure. After greeting the generals, he sat next to Uther as a reserve paladin.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the Archbishop immediately announced the start of the ceremony! The previous process went smoothly, but when it came to the baptism order, it was beyond everyone's expectations. Taelan Fording, who was supposed to be the first to be baptized and drink the holy water, was arranged to be the last.

The one ranked first is Renault Mograine.

Then came Sally Whitemane, Bridget Abidis, Demetria, and finally Taelan Fording.

Tirion Fordring frowned and glanced at his old superior, Mograine, who had a blank expression on his face. Tirion knew Mograine well, and he looked around and saw many unfamiliar faces.

Although Tyran Fording felt strange, he did not think much about it. He had been familiarizing himself with the magic nodes here. He was paying attention to another world: the world of energy. There were too many extraordinary people here, and there were all kinds of energy reactions. As soon as he turned off his holy light shield, the strange feeling weakened.

Finally, the ceremonies of the four people in front were completed. Raynor and Bridget successfully awakened the Holy Light and became apprentice paladins, while Whitemane and Demetria became priests.

Archbishop Alonsus Faol asked Taelan Fording to stand in front of the holy emblem and let him drink the holy water.

He himself stood in front of a thick book and said solemnly:
"Inspired by the Holy Light, we gather here to give the power of the Holy Light to our brothers."

“He will grow in His favor.”

"Relying on the power of Holy Light, he will educate the people."

"With the power of the Holy Light, he will defeat the darkness."

"With the wisdom of Holy Light, he will lead his compatriots to open up a new home!"

Taelan Fording listened quietly to the archbishop's speech and prepared a prayer for himself.

The holy water had no taste, but it seemed to have some flickering spots of light. Talan Fording felt that there was some holy light energy in it, and it was very gentle.

It seems that the so-called baptism is to use the holy light energy in the holy water as a bridge to help the baptized person connect with the holy light.

After drinking the holy water, Taelan Fording placed his hand on the bronze holy emblem with the sun pattern, and at the same time, according to the Archbishop's request, he released his holy light, forming a shield that gradually expanded! This was the first time he released his holy light without reservation! The transparent shield formed by the huge energy continued to expand! And it enveloped the entire hall of the chapel!

Everyone below was shocked by this scene! They felt that they were protected by the Holy Light and the coldness went away. Generally speaking, after drinking the holy water, the baptized person puts his hand on the holy emblem and can call upon his own Holy Light through it. And to eliminate the Holy Light is to cut off the user's connection with the Holy Light. Just like what Uther did to Tirion in the original book. Taelan Fording felt that strange and warm power again, it even began to burn! But there was still no Holy Light responding to him. Is it because he is a time traveler and does not belong to this world? Or is it because his Holy Light does not come from faith, or from the Naaru?
At this moment, Alonsus Fao suddenly whispered, "Input your holy light into the holy emblem!"

Taelan Fordring channeled his own Holy Light into the holy symbol.

The people around were all very surprised that the Holy Light did not respond. After all, Tailan had already mastered the power of the Holy Light. At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "The Holy Light did not respond to him, which shows that his faith is not pure!"

Someone else said, "Reno and the others have received a response from the Holy Light, which means this is his own problem!"

With that said, everyone's eyes could not help but wander between Renault Mograine and Taelan Fording. Was this child too young, or was his faith not strong enough to gain the recognition of the Holy Light?
At this time, Kalandra immediately refuted: "That's not the case, you can't talk nonsense!"

Someone in the crowd asked, "Then why can Renault and the others get a response from the Holy Light? But he can't?"

Kalandra's face flushed, and Tirion Fordring quickly pulled her back. He said in a deep voice: "It's not over yet, wait a little longer!"

Taelan Fording's holy light continuously flowed into the holy symbol, which seemed like a bottomless pit. In order to maintain the input of energy, he had to reduce the range of the shield, and the people outside began to feel the chill of Lordaeron's winter again!

At this time, Arthas, who was sitting in his seat, said to Uther who was sitting next to him: "Is he going to fail?"

Uther said: "He is still too young! Tirion should teach him more strictly!" Then he signaled Arthas to stop talking.

As soon as Arthas opened his mouth, he drew all attention to him.

At this time, Jaina, who had been clenching her fists to cheer for Tyran Fordring, suddenly said, "That's not what you said. Even if the Holy Light didn't respond to him, he is already a paladin!"

Arthas thought that Jaina's voice was as sweet as a lark, but it had a hint of tears in it. It was obvious that she was not as tough as she said!
"I...I didn't mean that..."

Arthas was a little incoherent when he spoke to Jaina for the first time. But he was always straightforward: "Isn't this obvious? He is still very young, he should wait a few more years!"

Jaina snorted, glared at Arthas angrily, and turned away to ignore him.

This made Arthas very depressed!

Catherine pulled Jaina into her arms, letting her avoid Arthas's sight! Too much contact with the prince of Lordaeron, or even conflicts, is not a good thing! Now it seems that this prince is a very direct person!

At this time, a young man behind Arthas leaned close to him and said, "Your Highness, that is the little princess of Kul Tiras, Jaina Proudmoore." He knew that Arthas had seen Jaina before, but was not familiar with her.

The implication was that Arthas should stop talking back. As the prince's bodyguard, Falric knew very well that the princess had a good relationship with the Tirion family! They had even recently gone on vacation together to Caer Darrow!

Everyone was talking about it. Tyran Fording on the stage had already input all the holy light into the holy emblem, and the holy light shield had disappeared. Everyone went from the warm spring to the cold winter. Kalandra's mood was like a roller coaster, from full of hope to frustration.

At this time, Jaina, who was concentrating on staring at Tyran Fording, also lowered her head, but she suddenly saw the silhouette of an angel appear on the back of her hand! She looked in the direction of the source of the light:
A piece of glass on the upper floor of the church suddenly lit up.

 Penglai wishes everyone a happy Lantern Festival!
