Chapter 764: Wood-throated Bear Monster
If an orc shaman came to the Woodthroat Fortress and said he wanted to exchange the shaman's thoughts, he would have been greeted by the fangs and claws of the Woodthroat Bear, and Lagrol would have beaten the orc shaman with his people to the point that he didn't even recognize his mother.
But now that a human had arrived, Leo was treated in the opposite way, and Lagerol welcomed him into the Woodthroat Fortress with a little thought.
The reason why Leo came to the Woodthroat Fortress was because of his understanding of the Woodthroat Bear.
Bear monsters are native creatures born in this world, they already had the most primitive shaman culture before the appearance of orcs, and wood-throated bear monsters have their own unique spiritual cultivation methods.
If the world does not undergo drastic changes, I believe that in tens of thousands of years, there will be a new race in this world that will rise like human beings, but the reality is that there is no if.
With the invasion of the Scourge and the Burning Legion, the orcs entered this world.
At first, because the orcs turned their backs on their shamanic civilization, their appearance did not have much impact on the bears, but after Thrall recovered the lost shamanic culture of the orcs and began to cultivate shamans among the orcs, and achieved certain results, something happened that made the bears angry about it.
There are elemental gods in this world, but because the four elemental lords are the subordinates of the ancient gods, they are hostile to the mainstream races of this world, and they are affected by the four, whether it is the night elves, humans, or dwarves, they all have a good impression of the elemental gods, and only the bear monsters with the primary shaman culture contribute their beliefs to these elemental gods.
However, the bear monsters have a disadvantage, that is, their evolution time is too short, and the intelligence of most of the tribes is in an uncivilized state of ignorance, except for some wise people who have lived for a long time, all of them are stupid, and the degree of civilization development is very low.
When the shamanic culture of the orcs arose, the elemental gods seemed to have found a new world, and the orc race was by no means comparable to the bear monsters that had yet to evolve, and the elemental gods of faith had a connection with the orcs, and these elemental gods moved their energy from the bear monsters to the orcs.
The orcs have divided their own gods, and the bear monsters are extremely angry, but no matter how angry they are, they can't help it, with their current situation, let alone questioning those elemental gods, even if they have a bad relationship with the orcs, they can't afford it.
What else could they do but knock out the teeth and swallow the blood?
Although the bear monsters hate the orcs who are close at hand, as long as the other party does not come to their territory to provoke them, they will not pay attention, or rather, they do not have the ability to pay attention.
Fortunately, the elemental gods have not done too much, the bear monsters can still use shamanic spells, and there are still a small number of clansmen in the clan who successfully communicate with the elements every year and become shamans.
It's just that after all, most of the gods were divided by the orcs, and the young bear monster was able to successfully promote to shamanic priest less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
At this time, the demon appeared.
Under the lure of demons, many bear monsters have fallen, and in order to gain power, they have thrown themselves into the arms of demons, which makes the already difficult bear monsters even more embarrassed.
Until now, the only bear monsters that still adhere to the shamanic culture are the Woodthroat tribe, who have resisted the temptation of demons by relying on their own unique spiritual cultivation methods and passed on their own culture.
Welcoming Leo and his party to the Wooden Throat Fortress, Lagerol asked the question in his heart, "Please forgive my faux pas, but I was really surprised that a human who has never believed in elemental gods has given birth to a shaman." ”
The power of the shaman comes from the belief born from the cultural inheritance, and because of the faith, he is favored by the elemental gods, and thus obtains the abilities that belong to the shaman. There is no doubt that it is impossible to give birth to a shamanic culture among human beings, and since there is no shamanic culture, how can there be shamanic priests?
Lagrol was very curious and terrified of the birth of a human shaman like Leo.
If humans have the soil to give birth to shamans, and the elemental gods have a far stronger choice than the bear monster outside of the orcs, then the bear monster will not have many gods left, I am afraid that there will never be one more.
Without the favor of the elemental gods, with the current situation of the bear monster, let alone development and evolution, even survival and reproduction are a big problem.
Is it really going to force us into the arms of the devil?
Lagerol felt bitter in his heart, if he gave the bear monsters another few tens of thousands of years to evolve, even if they didn't have the favor of the elemental gods, they wouldn't be so down.
Seeing Lagroll's bitter face, Leo certainly knew what the old bear man was thinking.
In fact, it was because he was very aware of the current situation of the bear monster that he had the idea of coming into contact with the Woodthroat tribe after coming to Azhara.
The icing on the cake is easy to deliver, and this is the most difficult time for the Woodthroat Tribe, and the bears of the Woodthroat Tribes are faced with a painful choice - whether to press their hatred of the orcs and open the land passage to Winterspring Valley, and use the power of the tribe to destroy the demons that lured their people to fall, or to defend the Woodthroat Fortress until its own destruction.
Either force a smile, hold back the anger in your heart, open up the resources of Winterspring Valley, and keep your race; Or just hold on to hatred until the clan is wiped out, but in this way, the resources of Winter Spring Valley are not the same, and they can't keep it?
Although there are few wise men among the bear monsters, they are not confused, and they finally choose the latter - this is the so-called historical trajectory in the absence of Leo.
Of course, while opening the Woodthroat Fortress to the Horde, the Bears also relaxed restrictions on the Alliance to serve as a counterbalance, but the Horde undoubtedly benefited the most.
"Speaking of which, my becoming a shaman has a lot to do with the orc high chief Thrall......"
Leo did not hide anything from Lagrol, he was able to obtain the power of a shaman, and Thrall played a great role in it, and also gave him the status of a prophet, but although Thrall was the trigger, he was not the main cause.
Before the crossing, Leo was a Chinese person, and the Chinese people's respect for their ancestors needless to say, although the sacrifice of ancestors and other major events in Leo's era have been not as grand and valued as before because of the lack of culture, but the respect for ancestors is rooted in the hearts of every Chinese people.
In this world, Leo has a kind of ancestor worship in his heart, which is quite similar to the worship of the soul of the ancestor in shaman culture, and he already has the soil for shamanic culture to take root in his heart, and it is not surprising that Leo has obtained some of the abilities of shamanic sacrifice after being infused with the power of Thrall prophet.
Therefore, Thrall is only the trigger, and Leo himself is the main cause.
All of the above are all inferred by Leo himself through reading and understanding of the notes given to him by Sal after obtaining the power of shamanic sacrifice, and outsiders do not know.
Leo did not mention this to Lagrol, saying only that he became a shaman because Thrall had used the power of a prophet against him, but this could be used to fool others, but it did not work in front of Lagrol.
"By the power of the prophet one can attain the power of a shaman...... It can't be that simple, right? ”
Lagrol was the wise man of the Woodthroat tribe, and few in the world could surpass him when it came to understanding the shaman, and he didn't believe in Leo's words at all.
This human being can become a shaman, and the situation inside will never be so simple.
Lies can only deceive the layman, and it is impossible to hide it from an insider like Lagerol.
From Lageror's eyes, Leo could see that the Bear Monster Wise Man's distrust of him because of his suspicion was not a good sign, and had a very bad effect on Leo's purpose for coming here.
After a moment of silence, Leo spoke again.
"Actually, I was able to become the prophet of the shaman, Sal, of course, a big reason, but some of the thoughts in my heart were more important."
Leo's eyes flashed twice very secretly when he spoke, and Sanoli, who was familiar with him, knew that this kid was about to start fooling people again, and the bronze dragon did not try to dismantle Leo's stage, but watched how he fooled Lagroll with the psychology of watching the show.
"Your Excellency, do you know the three sacrifices and three animals?"
Lagerol was stopped by Leo, and it was the first time he had heard the words "three sacrifices and three sacrifices".
"The so-called three sacrifices are the rituals of sacrificing the gods of heaven and earth, there will be a small sacrifice every year, a big sacrifice every ten years, and a large sacrifice in sixty years, and to sacrifice to the gods, you have to offer tribute, but because the scale of the sacrifice is different, the quality of the tribute is of course different, and these three sacrifices are produced from this......"
Leo was rambling on his words, and Lagrol's eyes lit up after listening for a while.
The so-called sacrifice is a way to curry favor with the gods.
This is the understanding of the bear monster wise man, if the time of the sacrifice can be fixed, and according to the scale of the gathering of the corresponding people, then every year, every ten years, every sixty years of the gods will be given a chance to collect faith in a concentrated way, compared with the usual scattered collection of faith, this way of sacrifice is undoubtedly convenient and practical.
If the Woodthroat tribe can use this method and make the sacrifice well, they will be able to share more or less from the gods.
Being able to regain some of the gods' favor was good news for the bear monster, and Lagrol watched Leo's gaze gradually become kinder, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared mostly. Anyway, this human has benefited his race, hasn't he?
"Leo, your advice is very useful to the Woodthroat Clan, and I thank you on behalf of my people."
Lagrol said and saluted Leo, Leo just explained his nonsense of three sacrifices and three animals, but when it came to Lagrol's mouth, Leo suggested to him that if the bear monsters used this method in the future, Leo would have no reason to question them, and this old bear monster was also cunning.
Leo didn't care about Lagrore's cautious eyes, he behaved very generously: "The Wood Throat tribe and the entire bear monster race and our humans are all native races born in this world, compared to those outsiders, we are a family, Lagroll, you don't need to be so polite." ”
There's something in this human being.
The thought raced through Lageror's mind, and he felt that he had understood Leo's purpose in finding the Woodthroat Clan.
"As you said, we should have more topics to talk about since the birth of this world."
The Bear Monster Wise Man tentatively made Leo laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"That's right, we can talk about something other than shamanic culture, and I'd love to see a deeper level of exchange and cooperation between the two native races, humans and bears...... Join! Alliance! ”
