"Hello, welcome to my battleship."

As Locke walked along the dock that stretched out to sea, towards the huge battleship. He saw two young elves coming down from the ship.

They walked far away to the bow of the ship to meet them. The female elf at the head introduced Locke and looked at Locke in surprise.

"I beg my pardon, are you really the Great Lord here? The Great Lord of Ivar? Lord Rock Harvey? ”

Faced with such doubts, Locke smiled and did not speak. Perhaps it was a bit abrupt to ask, but Fenna smiled embarrassedly, "I think so, I'm sorry." I didn't expect you to be so young. You look much younger than my brother Tanred. ”

"I always thought that the person who could lead the people of Iva forward in the face of adversity would definitely be a big hero." Fenna's best friend Tasha said in amazement, "But I didn't expect that the Great Lord of Iva would be a person who looks, so.... Surprising people. ”

The words of the two elves made the others behind Locke a little dissatisfied, but this was not the time for them to interject.

In fact, in the face of this skepticism, people who have worked with Locke for a long time rarely believe that Locke is a young man who is only 23 years old.

Since the establishment of Eva, no matter what they do, it is Locke who has guided them forward. It seems that there is always a solution to every problem that comes to Locke. This caused subordinates to often forget the age of their high lord, and they always felt that they were working with someone their age.

The words of the elf on the opposite side suddenly made Shiloh behind Locke sigh.

A 23-year-old king?

This is really shocking news.

"Hah, if you're just surprised at my age, I think there's something to be surprised about you." Locke smiled and continued, "When you enter Ivah, you'll be fascinated by what it looks like. ”

"When the time comes, you'll forget about me."

Locke's words made the two girls laugh, but then, Fena stroked the short blonde hair in front of her forehead, and she saluted Locke solemnly and said, "Paladin Fenna Golden Sword of the Silver Hand, report to the Grand Commander!" We didn't get any reinforcements, and I only brought back one ship. ”

Tasha on the side also stood up straight, bowed slightly with wizarding etiquette, and said, "Tasha Dawn, the wizard of the Silver Hand, reports to you, Grand Commander Harvey. ”

Now it was Locke's turn to be surprised.

"You ....." Locke didn't hide the surprise on his face, not to mention him, even the people behind Locke looked at the two of them strangely. Except, however, Bridget, who just looked at the two of them calmly.

"What's going on with you?" Locke hurriedly returned the salute, and he said in a hesitant tone, "You are members of the Silver Hand? ”

Generally speaking, the only people who can be called Locke Grand Commander are the knights and wizards of the Silver Hand.

Since Locke broke with Renault and Dassault Khan, in order to distinguish and not be at their mercy. Together with Baron Terosus of the Silver Dawn, he rebuilt the Silver Hand and prepared the Knights with the Silver Hand as his team. At the same time, all paladins and clerics were recruited into it, and a large number of soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives for the liberation of Lordaeron were also invited to join it.

Because of the problem of strength, Locke assumed the position of Grand Commander, and Baron Tairosus became the deputy commander. The Silver Hand did not establish the office of Grand Lords and Attorney-General, but only a few branches of the Grand Prosecutor in various regions.

But before Locke could say anything, Bridget stepped forward. She smiled at Fenna and Tasha in front of her, and said to them, "I'm sorry, I have to say a few words to the Grand Commander. ”

Looking at Bridget, who was about her own age, Fenna smiled and nodded. Even after 4 years, she still remembered the Silver Hand Paladin who had studied in the same academy as her.

At that time, she, Marlan, and a few other girls were the stars of their episode. Due to her half-elf status, they are not welcomed among the paladins, who are mainly humans. If it weren't for the fact that she was Dai Lin's illegitimate daughter, perhaps with the xenophobia within Silver Hand at the time, she might not have been able to join in at all.

Locke was pulled away from Fenna, and Tasha looked at Locke who was pulled away, and she whispered in Fenna's ear. "You know us, the female general behind the 'Young Grand Commander'?"

Tasha bit the words of the young commander very hard. It can be seen that she does not buy Locke's current status.

"Yes, I know that girl. Her name is Bridget Abydis. He was the daughter of Grand General Alfred Abydis. General, you know, right? Fenna said lightly, "The one who is most vehemently opposed to us joining the Silver Hand." ”

"Oh, it's her!" Tasha stood on tiptoe and stuck her head out to look at Bridget who was walking to the dock and talking to Locke. "The general's daughter, I have a bit of an impression of the red-haired girl who competes with another girl. Oh, by the way, that girl is Marlan, right? ”

"Yes, what a coincidence." Fenna smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet again." ”

"Do you have a grudge against her?" Tasha asked curiously.

"Nope." Fenna shook her head, "She won't talk to me, and I won't look for her." We're the kind of people who just say hello when we meet. ”

Tasha sighed, she looked at Locke and said, "I'm starting to wonder now if it's right for us to come back to him and join the Silver Hand again." ”

"He's younger than me..."

"In the face of people and things we don't understand, it's better not to jump to conclusions too early. We rely only on what we observe with our naked eyes," said Fenna, gesturing to the people around Locke, "and they have been following him in this land, don't they have more choice than we do?" Or are they all stupider than us? ”

"Perhaps it was because he was an outstanding man that he was favored by the Light. In fact, the kingdom needs people like him to drag it out of the quagmire. ”

"You can even think that it was Lordaeron who chose him to save it!"

Here, Bridget is explaining to Locke.

"Listen, that girl, Fenna Golden Sword, I know her. He is the illegitimate daughter of His Excellency Admiral Delin, Admiral Kul Tiras. We learned the Way of Light together, in the Preparatory Order. She is a special being because of her race. ”

"Oh? Admiral Dalin's illegitimate daughter? Locke said and glanced back, and Fenna saw him too, and he had to smile at the other party.

Locke vaguely knew about her, but wasn't sure if it was true or not. After all, many of the things in the game are gone.

"She's a half-elf. Her mother was Gina Golden Sword, the High Elf mage of Dalaran. Her mother died there during the defense of Dalaran. She had been living with her mother, and after that disaster, she lived with her father, Admiral Dalin. ”

"She has been fighting the land while the Scourge has wreaked havoc on Lordaeron. When Admiral Daelin left Lordaeron with his fleet, I heard that she had organized a rebel army in the Silverpine Forest to resist the Scourge invasion, but there was no news of her since. ”

Locke listened carefully, and he interjected, "I think she should have recognized you, how is your relationship?" ”

"It's not good," Bridge said helplessly, "certainly not bad, if I'd rather give an explanation." That's definitely a lot worse than good. ”

"When we were studying, we were all competitors. Besides, she's still a half-elf, you know. The Silver Hand has always rejected foreign accession. Bridget pointed to her rough face and said helplessly, "I had freckles all over my face, in fact, all human girls of our age. But she was different, her skin was as white as milk, and there was not even a trace of freckles. In that case, do you think we will develop a crush on her? ”

"So, she's been training by herself all along?" Locke touched his chin and thought.

"What are you asking all this for?" Bridget, who had been talking for a long time, suddenly looked at Locke vigilantly, "Aren't you playing some bad idea again?" ”

Locke looked at her inexplicably, until he got angry and slammed her on the head. Then he ignored the Brigitte he was holding, and said in her ear,

"I'm just thinking, how can I fool this ship and the people on board!"

"What we lack most in Iva right now is the navy! Right now! Someone who delivered it to your door is coming! ”

Locke and Bridget's conversation soon ended, when Locke appeared next to Fenna with a smile. He pulled Bridget directly behind him and said.

"I didn't expect you to study together."

Bridget was angry when she was forcibly pulled out, but she couldn't do anything in this situation. She could only say with a forced smile on her face, "Yes, Fenna, I thought I recognized the wrong person at first, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"I didn't expect that I would still be able to see you. I'm happy to be able to see my little training companions again. Fenna graciously took Bridget's words.

Locke saw that his goal had been achieved and stood in the foreground, "If you understand what is going on inside our Silver Hand, then you won't wonder why I am the current Grand Commander of the Silver Hand. ”

"I learned something from Colonel Maslan, but it was still not complete. But I think," Fenna nodded, and she said solemnly, "so many people are willing to follow in your footsteps, and I don't think you're a liar." ”

"I am deeply saddened by the sacrifice of the High Lord Mograini, one of my former mentors, a noble paladin who was helpful."

"I am deeply shocked by Renault's patricide. This is an unforgettable shame for our Silver Hand..."Fenna clenched her fists, "Although the Silver Hand is no longer the Silver Hand of the past, I ask to rejoin the Knights of the Silver Hand under your leadership, Grand Commander. The reason why I have returned to this land to join the Knights under your leadership is the guidance of the Light. I believe in the Light, and it doesn't lie! ”

Locke was overjoyed, and in any case, if she joined the silver hand that she led, nothing else. The behemoth in front of you, can you use it at will?

"Welcome, welcome. But that's not the right thing to say at the moment. Locke laughed and said, "This is not our convent's chapel, and there is no pulpit. ”

"Take me aboard, my admiral and I are already eyeing this ship."
