Chương 663: Chapter 663: The Integrity Needed to Resist Evil
Duke was scared on the spot.
Is this asking me to delete my account and start over?
"Huh?" Duke pointed at his own face in surprise: "But I'm a mage!"
Alonsus was taken aback, then laughed: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. Although I personally created the Paladin profession, it was because priests and paladins share common characteristics. I don't have the wisdom to cross different power systems to turn a mage into a priest."
"So that means..."
"Neltharion transforming into Deathwing, almost becoming one of the lords of the Alliance, deeply moved me. While it certainly reveals the dark roots of humanity, it also alerted me that if key figures in the Alliance are corrupted by evil and fall spiritually, the consequences will be catastrophic."
Duke thought to himself: Uh, are you also a prophet? Did you foresee the fall of Arthas and Kael'thas?
Who knew, seemingly unintentional, Alonsus slapped Duke's face with his next words, swelling it up.
Archbishop Alonsus spoke directly: "Actually, the person I worry about the most is you, Duke."
"Me!?" Duke pointed at himself with his index finger, bewildered.
"Yes! In the entire Alliance, the person I admire the most, but also worry about the most, is you."
Duke: "..."
Is this praise or criticism?
Is this a backhanded compliment?
"You possess the most outstanding military talent among humans since Emperor Thoradin. No king, marshal, or general has command talent comparable to yours. You could also become the greatest mage in human history. Given enough time, surpassing the former Guardian Medivh is not something unusual. But I found that you have a fatal weakness; your will is too weak compared to your power."
You noticed that too?
"Actually, this is not your weakness alone. From ancient times to the present, almost all young heroes who gained fame have a similar flaw. They reach the peak of their achievements at a very young age, then lose themselves in flowers and applause, losing their direction. They forget their original intentions, their true selves. They excessively pursue illusory honor, which in turn leads to their fall. In fact, there are precedents in the Cathedral of Light where saint-level heroes fall into the clutches of demons."
No, no, no, I am very clear that the Burning Legion will come, and I don't have the capital to fall. And the appearance of the Burning Legion... even succubi or something, I have no love for.
Different styles, how can there be love?
Completely unaware of Duke's thoughts, Alonsus continued to sigh: "I'm not denying your achievements and status. But if something untoward happens to you, who are at the core of the Alliance's power, it will be a blow to the Alliance, not inferior to Neltharion's blow to the Wyrmrest Temple back then."
For that moment, Duke felt like a hundred thousand mud horses were running wild in his heart.
Yo, are you saying I might become the second Neltharion?
If it were the second person to say this to Duke, Duke would definitely smack him without explanation. But for Alonsus, for this true saint who has dedicated his life to the people, especially a saint who is about to pass away, Duke couldn't get angry.
Duke slightly bowed his head: "Archbishop, you are right, my temperament indeed needs to be tempered."
Alright, I admit it.
Alonsus waved his hand: "No! I was the one who was abrupt. Even though you, Duke, have proven yourself several times under the temptation and coercion of demons, I still doubt you like this, it's my fault. Unfortunately, with the precedents of Aegwynn and Medivh, I still hope that you can accept a force of the Light that contains my will."
"Hmm?"
"I swear, this force of the Light will not damage your body or soul. Its only function is to automatically counterattack for you when your body and soul are invaded by demons. I dare not say it can resist the power of a major demon, but it should be no problem against a high-level demon."
"Hoo!" Duke took a long breath: "In that case, I have no objections."
"Actually, I also know that you mages don't like...uh, wait, you agreed?" As a preacher who teaches people to be good, Alonsus's verbal talent is undoubtedly maxed out. He was mentally prepared to guide Duke towards goodness in any way possible.
Because once Duke falls, it will truly be a tragedy for the Alliance.
Who would have thought that Duke, who was originally troubled by his lack of humanity (integrity), would agree?
Previously, Gul'dan reactivated the curse of Sargeras left on Duke, consuming quite a bit of Duke's humanity. Duke has not recovered it since.
To put it bluntly, Duke is still a person who is afraid of death. Selflessness or something, will never fall on him. But under external pressure, he can always burst out unprecedented courage at critical moments.
This time Duke chose to accept, it is also based on fear of death.
He's had enough of the curse of the major demon. That level of curse not only consumes life and soul, but what's worse is the pollution of spirit and will, which cannot be resisted by willpower alone.
Duke is not Bolvar, he admits that under the condition of being constantly burned by flames, he would surrender first—Burning Legion Saz, ah! Just take me in. I don't ask for anything, just assign me two seductive, oh no, two succubus secretaries.
Cough cough!
Duke discovered something—if it's said that Ner'zhul was chosen by Kil'jaeden to be the Lich King because he has the talent to control a large number of undead minions at the same time, then Duke, who has a system sprite, seems to be more suitable to be the Lich King!
After advancing to the ** Moon Mage, Duke found that his control limit has also greatly increased. Now he can control up to 512 Mage Hands at the same time and can simultaneously launch 256 highest-level [Pyroblast].
Duke can't imagine if he, a traverser with super multi-casting talent and super group mental control ability, falls to become the Lich King...
Uh, wouldn't Azeroth be doomed to kneel?
For the sake of the fierce women around him not having to turn against each other, so that he doesn't have to open a harem with the body of the dead, and for the not-so-much welfare of the traverser, Duke is determined to resist evil to the end.
Looking at Duke's complicated eyes, Alonsus felt strange. In his life, he has seen countless people: noble, despicable, hypocritical, truly villainous. He dares to say that he can see a person's character at a glance, nine times out of ten.
But Duke always gives him the most special feeling.
Clearly, Duke looks like a little rogue. Without firm faith, without enough courage to do great things, at most a little clever. But every time it comes to a critical moment, he will give a contradictory feeling, and the brilliance of humanity can be fully seen in him.
Ha ha! Perhaps it is because of the contradiction that he is human.
Archbishop Alonsus * Faol, extended his hand to Duke!
