Chapter 333
"Believe in the Holy Light?"
Wayne was stunned; he hadn't expected to hear such words from Ranni, which indeed surprised him quite a bit.
He pondered slightly for a few seconds, his gaze then drifting to the magnificent magic book in the hands of Ranni's doll, and asked curiously:
"Are you referring to the kind of Holy Light recorded in this magic book?"
Ranni's doll nodded slightly, her tone indifferent as she said: "This is just a speculation of mine, Wayne."
"This magic book records many experiences of that Elf Prince named Kael'thas, among which there are many accounts related to the Holy Light."
"In his description, the human priests of Azeroth relied on the power of faith in the Holy Light to gain strength comparable to mages, assisting them in defeating the Troll legions."
"Compared to arcane magic, which focuses on talent and requires long-term accumulation, that power called the Holy Light is holy and benevolent. It possesses an extremely strong restraining ability against the power of the undead and can also dispel the influence of many evil forces on the mind; it is precisely the nemesis of the evil god's power within you."
"And according to the doctrine of the Holy Light, whether human or other races, as long as one's faith is firm, one is upright, upholds justice, and protects the weak, one can receive the favor of the Holy Light and become a user of the Holy Light."
"If what this prince says is true, then believing in the Holy Light should be a good choice for you."
Protecting the weak is barely passable, but as for having firm faith, being upright, and upholding justice—what on earth do these three points have to do with him, Lord Wayne?
The reasons Ranni gave sounded reasonable, but upon closer inspection, they had many loopholes. If it were someone who didn't understand the Azeroth world, they might be fooled by these remarks and believe her words.
But as a loyal fan of the game World of Warcraft, Wayne could clearly feel that these reasons were far-fetched and basically all made up.
How could a pure power like the Holy Light favor someone with a complex mind like his?
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the simple Moon Princess Ranni had actually learned to be bad from him. It was clearly she who wanted to go to the Azeroth world, yet now she wanted to use the excuse of the Holy Light to deceive Lord Wayne; it was simply too abominable.
He looked into Ranni's eyes with a half-smile until the witch Ranni seemed to realize her intentions had been seen through and turned her head away expressionlessly, at which point Wayne fell back into thought.
Although the reasons Ranni just gave were a bit far-fetched, they did indeed provide him with some ideas.
According to his understanding of the World of Warcraft, the power of the Holy Light is indeed the nemesis of evil forces and has an absolute restraining effect on almost all evil forces.
The Sanctuary world also has the Holy Light and Paladins.
Although the two differ vastly in origin, the effects they manifest are nearly identical. They should both be able to play a positive role against Hell's power, so it is worth a try.
Although he himself will likely not receive the favor of the Holy Light and thus gain the power to use it, not being able to use it himself does not mean he cannot let others help him.
Azeroth contains many users of the power of the Holy Light, and they are even divided into two distinct spellcasting professions: Priests and Paladins.
And most of these outstanding users of the Holy Light are kind-hearted, helpful, and are truly good people who abide by morality.
If he seeks their help, he shouldn't be refused. Besides, with his "money power" and combat strength, even if it were conditional mutual assistance, it shouldn't be a problem.
Even in the most extreme case, he could learn from the Blood Elf mages and obtain the power of the Holy Light by enslaving it.
Calculating the time, the Azeroth world is roughly in the period when the Scourge is rampant. Arthas has likely already killed his father, and the entire Eastern Kingdoms have probably already become a battlefield under the attack of the Undead Scourge. At this moment, the situation is chaotic; going to Azeroth to fish in troubled waters and bring back some good things is a pretty good choice.
Back when he was still poor, he obtained a large batch of good things through the Stormwind City auction house, including a large amount of healing potions and quite practical Hearthstones, which successfully made his adventure journey smoother.
Now that several years have passed, the healing potions have been used up, and he has more money than he can spend. It is the perfect time to go to the magic kingdom of Dalaran for a big shopping spree to enhance the strength of the Witcher Order.
However, the power of the Azeroth world is too dangerous, so before that, he must be prepared.
"Do you also want to go to the Azeroth world to see, Ranni?"
Wayne flashed a smile at Ranni, carrying a hint of mischief.
"Mm! Are you going?"
Upon hearing this, although Ranni's tone was still indifferent, it revealed a trace of excitement.
"Alright, I promised you back then that I would take you to see other worlds."
"However, in the Azeroth world, there are true gods who possess extremely powerful strength; for both of us, it is very dangerous."
"So when we arrive in that world, you must follow my arrangements and cannot act on your own."
Ranni easily agreed to this requirement.
In fact, in the few years they have spent together, Wayne has discovered that the Moon Princess Ranni is unexpectedly very easy to get along with. She usually doesn't talk much, doesn't have many demands, has a gentle personality, and never refuses whenever he asks for her help.
Moreover, as a demigod, as long as both parties are willing, they can basically be together forever. For Wayne, who also has a long lifespan, she can indeed be called the best partner.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this tacit understanding that Wayne feels quite a sense of doting toward Ranni and is willing to accommodate her in many things.
Just like this time, since going to Azeroth is a rare interest shown by Ranni, and it is also a good journey for him, then so be it.
It just so happens that the war between the North and the South has entered a brief peace; taking advantage of this long period of time to go to Azeroth to take a look is also fine.
But before that, he must arrange the affairs of the Order properly.
After all, a trip to another world will take at least a month or two, or even longer.
Moreover, the Azeroth world is quite dangerous, and no one can say for sure what accidents might happen.
Having the demigod Princess Ranni as a backer is not enough.
He plans to take Deathclaw Robin along for the action; it can serve as a mount, a combat partner, and is also a very good choice.
And besides that, Wayne has a faint idea in his heart.
If the magic nodes in the Wizard World can be converted into ability points, then does the Azeroth world, with its exceptionally abundant magic energy, also have more ability points waiting for him to explore?
