Chapter 339: Wayne the Great Philanthropist

Wayne looked at the priestess opposite, then showed a polite smile and said: "No need to apologize, Ms. Paletress. Call me Wayne. As you said, I am indeed collecting a large batch of books."

"A noble friend of mine wants to build a large family library, and he entrusted this matter to me. This is one of the reasons why I traveled to Stormwind City."

The priestess seemed to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and the face that was a bit flushed due to nervousness also turned into a beautiful smile.

"You are truly a reliable friend, Mr. Wayne."

Paletress hesitated for a second, then asked:

"Actually, it's like this, Mr. Wayne. If you need to buy a batch of books, we also have a batch of books in our church that can be sold."

"However, those are hand-copied books, not printed books for sale. I don't know if your friend is willing to acquire such books."

Wayne was a bit surprised after hearing this. He had specifically learned about it before. Since the printing technology of gnome inventors spread to humans, hand-copied books had become fewer and fewer. After all, copying books was too time-consuming and laborious, and the cost was also more expensive than printed books.

Most of the hand-copied books circulating now were ancient books passed down from ancient times, which had considerable collection value, and more were collected by collectors.

So, he raised his question.

"Are those hand-copied books in the church ancient books? If they are ancient books, collectors in Stormwind City shouldn't refuse to buy these books, right."

Hearing Wayne's question, Paletress seemed a bit embarrassed, but as a priest, and an excellent temple priest, she often dealt with people of various identities, so she was still quite good at talking to people.

The priestess explained in a gentle tone: "It's like this, Mr. Wayne."

"You might have heard that our Holy Light Church took in many orphans left over from the Second War, and built some orphanages in many towns."

"And in these orphanages, when the priests in the church teach those orphans, they all teach them knowledge and literacy by guiding them to copy books."

"Over a long period of time, except for those kept by the children themselves, our church also retains a large batch of hand-copied books, mostly general books on enlightenment education and humanities and history."

"If Mr. Wayne is willing to buy, we will pick out a batch of the best hand-copied books from these books, including knowledge and insights collected by our church itself that are hard to see on the market."

"And please rest assured, the Holy Light Church never does things that deceive others, and the price we give you will also be much cheaper than the market."

Knowledge collected by the Holy Light Church.

Hearing this, Wayne immediately became interested, and he originally wanted to find an opportunity to contact the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City to see if he could find an expert using Holy Light to help him. Now this matter was a good entry point.

So, he pondered for a few seconds, looked at the very beautiful Paletress, and said: "So that's how it is, Ms. Paletress."

"I have always respected the good deeds of the Holy Light Church, and I am also willing to contribute to those people struggling in suffering. I am willing to pay for this batch of books you mentioned."

"However, before that, I want to ask, I wonder what position you hold in the Holy Light Church?" "After all, the quantity of books I buy is huge, and the amount of money involved is quite sensitive. If I want to negotiate with the Holy Light Church, I still need to get the approval of the person in charge of the church."

Hearing Wayne agree to this transaction, Paletress couldn't help but show a happy smile.

She originally just wanted to try it, thinking in her heart that she would likely fail, but she didn't expect to succeed.

After all, compared to the hand-copied books copied by children, printed books purchased from regular bookstores were more suitable for a noble's library.

If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Light Church's economic situation was quite tight, she wouldn't be willing to do such a thing that troubled others.

And after hearing Wayne's subsequent question, Paletress gathered her golden long hair, and her face was still that gentle and soft smile.

She made a gesture of Holy Light blessing to Wayne again, her slender palms lifted lightly, and a group of energy that slightly emitted golden light and felt very warm and soft was transmitted to Wayne, actually making the Witcher who had been suppressing the Hell power in his body feel a burst of relaxation and comfort.

"Mr. Wayne, please rest assured about this."

"I currently hold the position of High Priest in the Holy Light Church, and what I am responsible for is the related affairs of helping orphans."

"I can handle this matter of discussing with you entirely."

"And afterwards, I will report to my teacher, Archbishop Alonsus Faol. He is a merciful adult and will definitely support my decision."

Teacher? Alonsus Faol? Hearing this name, Wayne was shocked and couldn't help but re-examine the High Priest Paletress in front of him, and began to think about what identity this beautiful girl opposite had? You know, Alonsus Faol was not an ordinary person. He was the Pope of the Holy Light Church, the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, and the founder who created the Paladin profession. The first five Paladins who appeared in the human world could almost be considered the disciples of this old man.

In the human world of Azeroth, he could definitely be considered a pivotal figure.

And the girl in front of him actually called the other party teacher. Although it was likely not the kind of intimate disciple passed down from master to apprentice, she was definitely an excellent priest who had received the teachings of Archbishop Faol.

Wayne recalled the other party's name again and suddenly remembered something.

High Priest Paletress? No, it was Silver Priest Paletress, the female boss of the Champion's Trial of the Argent Crusade, who could also be considered a quite famous NPC in the Wrath of the Lich King version.

After remembering the other party's identity, Wayne immediately had an idea.

He wanted to be a great philanthropist, a big tycoon welcomed by the Holy Light Church.

Judging from Paletress's performance just now, although she was quite young, as a High Priest, and as a Boss-level existence in the Argent Crusade in the future, the other party was obviously very potential and was a Holy Light expert worth winning over.

And young girls were easier to gain trust. Even if the other party couldn't help him, being able to use her relationship network to find other more powerful Holy Light users was also a quite good choice.
