Just as Antoine was preparing for the ceremony, Dick, wearing a black ceremonial robe, was talking to two special guests.
His physical condition is almost no better than before. Let alone fighting, even daily walking needs Gianna and lyadeline to support him. There is no pressure of dawn Knight before. However, he has a good mentality. In fact, after more than three years of busyness, he is quite satisfied with the busy days, Especially recently, he spent a lot of time with his two confidants, which made his mind have a trace of peace besides irritability.
And Dick has a hunch, holy light... The guy who asked Fordring and Mograine to give him a message should not ignore him.
This is probably the advantage of having a big man on it.
During the most intense war in Northern Xinjiang, Anduin stayed in karazan, protected by the dead and meri who are loyal to Madian, and the tower is one of the safest places in the world.
And the two mysterious guys who escorted Anduin all the way back to selamo from Irvine forest are sitting opposite Dick. Madian, who came with them, has gone to talk to her grandmother. Ms. Irvine still has a strange temper. At least in this court, besides giving the princess the necessary respect and the necessary instruction to Gianna, She has little to do with other people.
"Cough, I heard about Anduin. I have to thank you, honest panda warrior monk. If it wasn't for you, my disciples and I would have had a very difficult time."
Dick coughed twice, and his face was as ugly as before. However, after getting used to the action mode of "take your time" in doing everything, his manner was more peaceful. The murderous spirit cultivated in the battlefield all the year round was gradually dispelled and changed into an awe inspiring spirit, In the words of captain senxia, who returned from the South China Sea two days ago, it is "more and more important".
What's more, Dick can see the real root of the "Bear Man" in Garona's mouth almost at a glance. Where is the bear man? It is clearly the Panda Man of pandaliya, a mysterious and powerful hermit race.
And the two sitting in front of him are also the plot characters that dick used to like very much: Chen Fenghuang, a powerful monk from the lost island, and his niece Lili Fenghuang.
These two panda people are very popular in the game. In the original history, Lao Chen was a traveler and restaurant who traveled all over the world. He helped King McGonagall fight back the black iron dwarves who had committed crimes, and even held the first wine festival in the world. He also helped Sal, rexa and others to kill admiral Dailin who tried to destroy the orcs, When galush Hellscream, the second Orc chief, attempted to assassinate wojin, he was saved once by Lao Chen.
All in all, this is a truly free traveler and a hero who left his footprints in Azeroth's history.
Unfortunately, in the new world dominated by Dick, Lao Chen has missed too many things. Maybe he has traveled all over the world, but there are not so many famous legends left behind. However, this can not change Dick's joy for Lao Chen's arrival. After all, this is his favorite character.
In the face of Dick's thanks, Mr. Chen politely wants to get up and respond. The traveler is a good-natured person, and he doesn't have the strange habit of treating power like dirt. Although the panda people of lost track island and panda people of pandaria have been separated for thousands of years, they all worship chivalrous heroes in their heart, After learning the significance of Dick to selamo and even Lordaeron, as well as his legends, Lao Chen felt that the hero who was seriously ill in front of him also deserved his respect.
After all, I haven't seen such a brave person for many years.
The paladin slowly waved to the old Chen and Lili sitting on the chair, indicating that they were not too polite. He whispered something to lyadeline standing behind him. The high spirit Paladin was stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the room quickly. A few minutes later, the slender Paladin beauty was holding several bottles of bamboo, Rocks and even bones of wine came back to the room.
Smelling the faint aroma, the eyes of old Chen, who was talking about his adventures with Dick, lit up immediately. The Panda Man's cheeks were black, but only the eyes were white. It seemed that he had a kind of unexpected affinity. Of course, if we don't ignore the sharp fangs, this guy is very important to ordinary people, It's still very intimidating.
"This is my personal gift to the heroes of chivalry."
Dick smiles and holds his left hand. Lyadeline puts the bottles of wine in front of Chen. Then he hears Dick introduce him,
"There are the essence of the first batch of wines fermented by the royal family who arrived at quiralas 6800 years ago, and the wine of berry wine made by Cadore in order to celebrate the end of the ancient war, and the high mountain spirits of the black iron dwarf royal family and the mysterious voodoo wine of zadara trolls, are all my collection. Mr. Chen, please do not mention it."
Then, without waiting for Chen to refuse, Dick turns to look at Lili, who is eating delicious dried fish. This lively panda girl inherits the adventurous spirit inherited from the storm spirits family, and is destined to become an outstanding adventurer in the future. Dick also smiles and says to Lili, who is a little restrained,
"And you, little hero, Anduin said you like to collect mounts and pets? No problem. Prince kelsas recently sent two white noble land birds as a promotion gift to Anduin. I'll give you one and the cub of a bramble boar with its thin blood left by agamagan, the demigod. If you are interested in adopting it, I think the demigod will also be very happy. "
"But it's too expensive! I can't have it! "
Lili waved her hand in a hurry, and the land bird could accept it, but a little pig, forget it, Lili who loves clean doesn't like the pet, even if it has noble demigod blood!
"It doesn't matter. I can see that you will be a very attentive breeder."
Dick waved his hand, and the pig almost became a troublemaker in the court. More than once, Dick saw it steal his lunch and just took the opportunity to send it out. Without waiting for Lili's objection, Dick took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, stood up with the help of lyadeline and took his unique walking stick.
Olsis's scepter is the one we got in Oldham. It can change its length at will. It's just suitable for Dick to use. Especially when walking every step, the golden scepter carved with eagle's sculpture will emit the same brilliant light as the stars, in the words of captain senxia,
"Just in line with the noble temperament of the count."
Although Dick didn't like the swagger, there was nothing more convenient than the scepter.
"Mr. Chen, it's almost time. As andoine's mentor, I invite you to his promotion ceremony."
Faced with Dick's invitation, Chen, who got the most precious gift, had no reason to object. He readily accepted it, and then took his unique hat from the maid's hand and buttoned it on his head,
"It's my pleasure, Knight Dick."
A few minutes later, when Dick appeared at the meeting with Princess Carlia and Anduin in uniform, old Fordring, representing the hand of silver, Bridget, representing the red crusader, Princess Leila, representing the Ironforge dwarves and the black iron dwarves, Barnes, representing the Cadore elves, sentinel commander, hadulen Mingyi, representing Quel'Thalas, Brigadier general Matthew, the representative of kurtiras, stood up to welcome them. On the other side which was quite different from them, many people also stood up.
Sarufar, the commander of ogrima, lokhan, the commander of the dark spear troll, the representative of tauren, the Druids, the representatives of hamul runic totem, and finally the goblin representative of the rust water plutocrat, gazruvi. It seems that the rust water plutocrat has really established a deeper connection with the orcs.
This makes brigadier Matthew somewhat worried. The war between kurtilas and the blood sail pirates has reached the most critical moment. As we all know, the rust water plutocrat is one of the gold owners behind the blood sail pirates. If there are Orc pirates on the sea, it's really not good news.
But today's occasion is not suitable to talk about those things. Besides, these heavyweight representatives didn't come here just for the promotion ceremony of Anduin. The Northern Expedition presided over by the paladins is no secret in the high level of the civilized world. Dick also secretly sent an invitation letter to the major forces. After the promotion ceremony, we will also sit together and talk about it.
Compared with the promotion of a crown prince, that's the real big deal.
In the rear of the auditorium, there were also invited aristocrats and celebrities from all over the world, including many of Dick's old acquaintances, Dr. Harrison Jones, Goblin merchants Lauren and Mr. NorthEnd Fogg, new Lordaeron Royal warlock Wilfred, black iron bar owner Prager, pirate captain senxia and his loyal first mate Mr. Gibbs, It is worth mentioning that these two are the most colorful of the visitors.
Princess Kariya is sitting on the throne. Beside her are lady Aegwynn and Gianna, and Madian with the veil. The eldest princess has a gentle smile on her mouth. She pats the prince on the shoulder. Little Antoine takes a deep breath, strides to the front of the rostrum, and kneels solemnly in front of the bust of Alonsos FAO.
"Cough, first of all, you are welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to attend the knighthood promotion ceremony of Prince Anduin Urien of storm kingdom!"
Dick walked slowly to Anduin with his walking stick. He looked at everyone and said aloud, "at the end of last year, under the blood of countless warriors in Lordaeron, the flower of victory in Northern Xinjiang finally opened up. The trouble caused by the dead has been solved. The new Lordaeron will be built on the old site of the kingdom. I have enough reason to believe that, That will be another great country, and that will be the beginning of another great legend! "
"Ladies and gentlemen! The darkness is never far away from us, but neither is the hope! I have seen a magnificent era unfolding before my eyes. We will be as firm and courageous as the past in facing everything in the future, whether it is dark or bright! "
"Everyone should live for his faith, and everyone should be a hero of himself and his family. I am honored to fight with those heroes side by side. Although I may not know their names, I witnessed the birth of countless heroes in Northern Xinjiang, in xilisus, in Heishishan, and in Hyjal, which was in the darkest era, A light of hope
"I'm honored to be one of these hero stories, and I know that the world needs more heroes! We need heroes more than ever before the darkness of the future comes, before our peaceful life is broken again
"Today, we will witness the death of a boy and the birth of a man and a hero!"
"He is Anduin Urien, the future king of storm Kingdom, the knight apprentice bearing the will and name of Marshal LOSA. I know his future glory, and we will witness his future glory together!"
"Now, I am the knight mentor of Anduin and the knight of silver dawn order."
"Anduin Urien, my disciple, can you abide by the knight's Creed and fight for justice forever?"
"Yes, I can!"
"Anduin Urien, can you do your duty and wave your sword for the name of glory and light?"
"I can!"
"Anduin Urien, can you hold fast to your last hope and become the guiding light at the end of the darkness when it comes?"
"I can!"
"Anduin Urien, can you shed the last drop of blood for your companions and your people at the expense of your consciousness when you run out of ammunition and food?"
"I can!"
"Well, my disciple, in the name of the holy light, I declare that from now on, you will take off the name of apprentice and embark on the road of your own knight. In the name of the holy light, I will give you weapons, armor, horses and deeds. This is a gift, but also a bondage. From then on, your sword will not be able to face the weak, your shield can only guard justice, which is your belief, It will also be your way“
Dick took a heavy hammer with blue and white light from old Fordring's hand, and handed it to Anduin with some difficulty. The shape of the hammer with four edges on the top is extremely ferocious, but the casting is extremely exquisite. It's a real battlefield weapon, but in the Holy Light surging in Dick's palm, it has a bright meaning, The mark of Lordaeron royal family carved on it is shining.
When she saw the familiar weapon, Princess carliya couldn't help covering her mouth and tears fell from her eyes.
"This is the weapon that the former king Terenas of Lordaeron used in the battlefield. It is called the power of minehill. It has witnessed war and peace, as well as destruction and rebirth. My disciple, may the unyielding will of minehill reappear in you."
"Take it and become a legend!"
