Chapter 32 Sutras cannot be taken in vain, Loa cannot be passed on(2/2)
Niebuhr took a step forward at the right time. He was still too young after all, and was actually shocked by Rastakhan's pomp. If Li De hadn't supported his elbow without leaving any trace, Niebuhr would have almost lost his balance.
"Nibur Sandding pays tribute to His Majesty Rastakhan. Since Zul'Farrak lost contact with Zandalari thousands of years ago, my people have lost the tradition of the Loa faith.
During this period, I misunderstood the evil god, which brought a long period of suffering to the sand trolls. So I came here this time in the hope of regaining the Loa faith, gaining the favor of at least one Loa, and getting rid of Zul'Farrak
Man’s current mental predicament.”
After hearing Niebuhr's words, Rastakhan was stunned for a while, and then his face showed joy. As for the other Zandalar trolls, their expressions were different, but most of them were happy.
"I'm very pleased, Sand Troll..."
After saying these words, Rastakhan's conversation suddenly changed.
"But I can't agree to you easily."
Niebuhr was already ready to say thank you, but Rastakhan's words made him feel as if he was in an ice cave. He was eager to express something, but Li De motioned him not to speak in a hurry and to listen to what the other party said.
"I am happy to bring back the Loa tradition to each troll tribe, but before that I must be clear about your attitude towards the Loa. Many trolls in history have gone to extremes in order to revive their declining tribes.
The attitude of those trolls towards Loa is not pious. They are short-sighted and use their mouths to feed Loa without restraint, even squeezing Loa's power!
Thousands of years ago, Zul'Gurub, the Gurubashi race who were separated from you on another continent, squeezed the power of Loa, and finally even used cruel blood sacrifices to worship the twisted Soul Reaver Hakkar.
In order to prevent the entire world from becoming Hakkar's blood meal, Zandalari paid a huge price.
The Loa of Zandalari are the gods who protect us, and I will never allow them to be persecuted by evil thoughts. I cannot accept that by using the power of Loa into the cruel wind and sand, I am betraying the trust of Loa!"
Rastakhan's words surprised Li De. It seemed that Zandalari's belief in Loa was much purer than that of Gurubashi, Amani and the like.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also related to Zandalar's unique natural environment. The abundant Zandalari mountains are enough to support the trolls to live a prosperous life. They don't have to rely on the power of Loa to strengthen their bodies to solve their food problems.
question.
Zandalari knows etiquette in a practical way and has no pressure in life. Of course, Zandalari has more energy to seek the spiritual world.
Because of this, the Loa faith of Zandalar completed the transformation from totem worship to polytheistic religion.
Thinking of this, Li De shook his head secretly. In terms of religion and culture, the Zandalari are indeed not on the same level as their fellow tribes. But it is precisely this that makes them a highly idealistic society.
Such Zandalari, lying among the comfortable mountains of Zuldazar, can certainly enjoy prosperity forever.
But once the world undergoes drastic changes, or one day they hope to expand abroad, then they will naturally put themselves in their shoes and understand the actual situation of the vast world.
Not every piece of land can provide adequate food and clothing with very little labor. Races with absolute character flaws due to the curse of flesh and blood have developed complex and cruel killing methods in order to compete for land and wealth.
The Zandalari, who were used to living a stable life, were about to suffer a bloody blow at that time. Although they had the protection of many Loa to prevent their destruction, they were destined to pay a heavy price.
Sure enough, Niebuhr refuted Rastakhan's words without even using Li De.
"I couldn't guarantee it before, but now no matter how harsh the environment is, I can't defeat the sand troll!
Under the leadership of the teacher, the sand trolls have lived a decent life through hard work. We respect nature, cherish nature and transform nature.
What the sand trolls long for is spiritual peace. We need the guidance and enlightenment of the kind Loa, but we don't need to live by squeezing the Loa!
Sand trolls are not despicable wretches, we have our own path to prosperity, and the ships docked in the harbor are proof of that!”
But even a young little troll had the courage to speak like this to him, the god-king who had ruled Zandalar for nearly two hundred years. Rastakhan even admired Niebuhr.
But Rastakhan was not so easily convinced.
"It seems that you admire your teacher very much...Marshal Li De, should I call you this, right? I am very grateful that you can bring new life to my people.
but……
Even if I can accept the sand trolls being ruled by humans, Loa can't!"
