Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Because of Seres's pregnancy, members of the Moon Shadow family, including Leticia and Aurora, also paid less attention to work, and revolved around Seres, whose belly hadn't visibly bulged all day long.

Even Niyana, who was far away in Stormwind City, took the time to come back. While visiting the former principal, she reported to Andrea on the development and changes of the alliance in recent years.

Of course, some things that are not easy to bring up on the stage were also brought up in the face-to-face communication between the two.

While Shandris and the others took Celes out of the city for an outing, Andrea stayed at home to welcome Niyana, who hadn't returned to Kalimdor for a long time.

Having served as the ambassador of the Dark Night Republic to the Alliance for a long time, Niyana is no longer the young girl she was at the beginning. Her temperament has matured a lot, and her work ability has been consistent with many kings including the original Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind. affim.

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't find a suitable replacement for the time being, Andrea even planned to transfer Niyana back from the Eastern Continent to serve as a powerful senior official of the Dark Night Republic.

"Old man, Benedictus, whom you made me pay special attention to, finally started to move."

Niyana said solemnly, "The Archbishop of the Holy Light has been very low-key since he escaped from Lordaeron. At least he can't see anything unusual on the surface. He has dutifully guided the people of the Stormwind Kingdom towards the light."

"But since the second half of last year, the frequency of Benedictus appearing in front of people has decreased significantly."

"Although the church used the reason that the archbishop was old and inappropriate, through Garona's secret investigation, Benedictus' physical condition was better than normal young people, and there was absolutely no possibility of any physical discomfort. .”

When Andrea removed the impurities in Garona's soul, the half-orc thief knew that it was the second time that Speaker Moon Shadow had helped him.

Garona, who lacked caring since she was a child, has always believed in a concept that she will sincerely return unreserved trust to anyone who treats her sincerely.

This is why Garona has been secretly guarding the royal family of Wrynn. She is to repay the late Queen Thalia for taking good care of her.

Anyway, Garona will be lurking in Stormwind City for a long time. Instead of letting Prism arrange more strangers to come into the sight of SI:7, it is better to let Garona, who has been recognized by Mathias Shaw to a certain extent, secretly collect information.

Through Garona's investigation, Niyana finally got some clues about Benedictus' abnormal behavior.

"Although Garona didn't capture the scene with her own eyes, she can basically be sure of one point based on some of the clues she can collect now."

Niyana said seriously, "There is something weird underground in the Holy Light Cathedral in Stormwind City, and there is probably a short-distance portal leading to the back of the church."

Andrea withdrew the excessive joy caused by Seres's pregnancy, lowered her head and asked in deep thought, "How did Garona come to this conclusion?"

"Because of the whereabouts of Benedictus."

Niyana put the two black and white photos upside down on the coffee table.

There is a person who looks very similar in each of the photos. They are all wearing black hoods that can completely conceal their appearance. Judging from the physical characteristics revealed in the high-resolution photos, they should be the same person.

"These two pictures were secretly taken by Garona using the latest civilian technological equipment of the gnome, which the gnome calls a fast imaging machine."

Andrea curled her lips and said, "It's too awkward, let's call it a camera."

Niyana shrugged and continued indifferently, "These two photos were taken in January and June last year respectively, and they were both located in the garden behind the Stormwind Cathedral leading to the port."

"There is no direct evidence to prove that the person in the photo is Benedictus, but the two times when Garona took the photo, Benedictus happened to be sick. I don't think it's just a coincidence."

Andrea picked up the photo and observed it for a while before continuing to ask, "Has Garona tracked down this mysterious man?"

"That's where the problem lies."

Niyana frowned and said, "According to our understanding, Benedictus is a priest who specializes in holy light. The stealth ability of priests is not strong."

"But Garona would lose track of this mysterious person every time she tried, and the other party would always disappear under Garona's nose. This kind of power is like..."

"shadow?"

"Yes."

Andrea touched his chin meaningfully and said with a light smile, "I'm sure, this guy is Benedictus."

Niyana was a little surprised, "Although I think so too, what about the evidence?"

"The proof is me."

Andrea condensed the power of shadow and light with both hands, "You don't think I'm the only one who can comprehend the mutual transformation method of light and shadow, do you?"

"Benedictus studied under Alonsus Faol, who is known as a saint, and he is an out-and-out wizard on the way of the Holy Light. To a certain extent, it changed the direction of the second orc war."

If there were no paladins to restrain the death knights of the tribe, and let the death knights pull up the zombie army to attack the defense line, it would be really hard to say the final outcome of the war.

"The ultimate light is shadow. I have reason to believe that Alonsus has penetrated this secret in his later years, and Benedictus, as one of the apprentices who followed Alonsus, accidentally learned of this secret. It's not something incomprehensible, is it?"

Niyana lowered her head and pondered for a while before straightening out her thoughts, "Old man, do you mean that Benedictas may have doubted the power of light itself because of the mutual transformation characteristics of light and shadow, and started going astray from then on? "

"Is that why you've been keeping us on him?"

Andrea smiled and nodded, "There are reasons for this, and of course there are reasons for Benedictus's abnormal behavior."

"Don't you think that some of the decisions Terenas made in his later years are strange? If you put the source of these strange decisions on Benedictus's psychic induction...doesn't it become common sense? "

Niyana was taken aback, "So, Benedictus is related to the Old God?!"

Andrea said affirmatively, "Ninety-nine are inseparable. The Holy Light Cathedral is filled with the power of light that is opposite to the shadows. Benedictus can only get in touch with the ancient gods within a certain range of the church. Thinking about it this way, You should be able to understand his motives, right?"

Niyana frowned, and asked with concern on her face, "Old man, do you really not need to deal with him? Let such an ancient god's nephew hide in Stormwind City, in case he has any malicious intentions towards King Varian , with his status as the Archbishop of Shengguang, the chances of succeeding are very high, right?"

"It is precisely because he is the inner response of the ancient gods that I will let you and Garona keep an eye on his actions."

Andrea said solemnly, "Beneditas is definitely not the only dark hand of the ancient god. Instead of pulling him out to scare the enemy, it is better to use Benedictus as a weather vane to observe the actions of the ancient god."

"As long as the abnormal behavior of Benedictus starts to increase, it means that the ancient gods are ready to take action."

"Now I'm more curious about..."

Andrea touched his chin and thought, "Which ancient god's minion is Benedictus, N'Zoth? Or Yogg-Saron?"

"His identity is related to our next actions. If he obeys N'Zoth, it's okay. If this guy is Yogg-Saron's subordinate, when we attack the storm cliff, Benedictus will probably jump. Come out and be a demon."
