Chapter 366: The Way of the Shaman
While Richard was taking action against the elemental forces, Thrall was working hard for the Frostwolf Clan.
Thrall was carrying a huge four-hoofed animal in the snow and walking hard towards the Frostwolf Clan camp. As he walked, Thrall wondered if his life was too simple now. In the past, whether in the concentration camp or on Kozan Island, he had many tasks every day, but now he only needed to capture beasts and collect food every day. Although the people here still had hostility and suspicion towards him, he and his warriors had the worst food and the worst accommodation, even worse than the clan's wolf pack.
Thrall did not think this was an insult to him, but rather a test. His sudden arrival as the son of the former chief would inevitably cause dissatisfaction, just like if someone unknown to them suddenly appeared on Kozan Island and wanted to lead them, they would definitely oppose it.
With this mentality, Thrall did not reject any task they assigned to him, burying garbage, peeling animal skins, collecting firewood, and he did every little thing without complaint. Because of her efforts, at least in the blizzard at this time, most people in the Frostwolf Clan regarded him as a companion.
Thrall put the animals he caught in the warehouse and prepared to return to his room. Drek'Thar was still patrolling near his room. These days, Drek'Thar was active near Thrall's room every day, and Thrall also regarded him as a test.
Thrall walked past Drek'Thar, who still said nothing. Thrall suddenly thought of a question, which was about the relationship between the orcs and wolves of the Frostwolf clan.
"You mean the wolves?" The old shaman smiled. "The wolves are not tamed. Wolves are creatures that will never be tamed. They are not like what you think. They became our friends because of the shamans. Starting from the first shaman of the Frostwolf clan, every one of them dealt with the wolves. They used their sincerity to gain the help of the wolves. Communicating with creatures "It is also a part of shamanism. Shamanism and nature have an inseparable connection. When shamanism communicates with creatures, both sides can feel each other's heart. Only with true sincerity, animals will respond to you. Don't underestimate these animals. After they become our companions, they are of great help to us."
The old shaman pointed to his shoulder, where there were bloodstains left by Saul hunting animals.
"They are better at hunting than you are. They can provide us with fur when it's cold without endangering their own lives. They can warn us when we are patrolling. It is also the wolf pack's credit that they found you. Without the wolf pack friends, your friend would not be alive today, let alone healthy to hunt. They and we not only give, but also get rewards. We can guarantee them enough food, ensure that their injuries can be cured, and ensure that most of their newborn children can grow up healthily. Protect their cubs at the stage of birth. "
Saul nodded his head and felt Saul's approval. He smiled and continued, "In addition to the wolves, I also have a contract with the goats in Alterac. Although they are not as smart and aggressive as wolves, they are also very important to us. Their wool and milk are our important sources of clothing and food. They will even sacrifice their lives when we need them. As a reward, we will protect them. And this contract is not mandatory. They can freely go anywhere and anytime. Break this contract, but this has never happened in the past many years. Also, you will see here a scene that you can't see anywhere else, wolves and goats living in harmony. "
Saul's eyes immediately saw the wonderful scene he had seen before, and he marveled at the magic of the shaman's artifact: "Can you communicate with other creatures besides animals?"
The old shaman nodded: "I can also summon wind, snow, thunder and lightning, I can also request the movement of trees, and I can understand their direction from the river."
Saul suddenly had doubts and asked directly "Since the shaman's power is so strong, why do you choose to live in such a harsh environment in the Alterac Mountains? Or why don't you use your magic to turn these barren mountains into lush grasslands or forests, so that you have enough food, or make it difficult for your enemies to find you."
The old shaman's expression suddenly turned cold: "If I do as you say, I will violate the agreement with the elements and be abandoned by all things in nature!"
Thrall realized that he had asked a very serious question, but once the words were spoken, they could not be taken back.
The old shaman continued angrily, "The claws of human greed have polluted you to this extent. You don't understand anything. This is why you cannot see the true power of shamanism. These things recognize me because of my sincere respect and willingness to pay back. My request is just a very humble request for my people. Those important things must be very fair. I am grateful for these powers all the time. They are borrowed, not bought or made mine by other means! They come to me because of their choice, not my subjective opinion. Will, these powers and wills are not slaves, Saul, these are powerful entities with their own weaves, they are my companions, not my servants. You will never understand! "
The old shaman finally walked away almost roaring, and Saul also heard his dissatisfied words: "It's really disappointing, thanks to the fire spirit still optimistic about you..."
Saul looked at the old shaman's back. Saul thought about the meaning of "Shaman". After listening to the old shaman's words, Saul felt that the shaman's way was more like an equal exchange. Both parties depended on each other. The user could neither control the power in his hands nor be dominated by energy. The relationship between the shaman and these things is mutual trust, more like friends.
Thrall scratched his head. Richard had asked him to come to the Alterac Mountains to learn the ways of the shamans. But now, not to mention learning shamanism from Drek'Thar, even talking to this old shaman was a very difficult thing. What if this mission failed? Thrall gritted his teeth. It seemed that he had to think of a good way himself!
Facts proved that Thrall was right. For several days in a row, the old shaman did not talk to Thrall. Thrall had no choice but to continue doing menial work, but as time went by, Thrall felt alienated by the Frostwolf Clan...
