Talanji took Niebuhr to rest, while Yazma reported to Rastakhan first, but Li De was left in the history museum by Elder Takshiro.
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go? If these three questions are not clear, intelligent creatures will fall into confusion and will go crazy in the long run.
The value of history is reflected here. At least it can help people solve the first two problems. Even if it cannot be solved, it can still give a decent answer.
This answer may be right or wrong. In order to make the answer as close to correct as possible, it is necessary to restore the historical truth as much as possible.
This is the more utilitarian meaning of exploring history that I can think of."
Because of Li De's interference, the scholars simply suspended their work, and Takshiro even made a cup of tea for Li De.
I heard from him that the habit of drinking tea was learned by the ancient Zandalari from the disappeared continent "Pandaria". I don't know if it is authentic or not.
Li De sipped this cup of black tea with a lot of sugar in it and thought to himself, ‘It’s not authentic if it’s designated’.
However, this did not prevent Li De from happily sipping sugar water and chatting with the troll scholars.
His theory about studying history resonated strongly with Takshiro. This old troll is very interesting. The Loa he believes in is Bwonsamdi, the god of death who lives in Nazmir's Underworld.
As the name suggests, Bwonsamdi, the god of death, will rarely respond to you when you are alive. This Loa, who calls himself Old Bwonsamdi, is keen on making deals. He will give his followers abundant energy, but after the death of his followers, the soul needs eternal life.
Serve him.
Takshiro was a little indifferent to the Loa faith, and chose to believe in Bwonsamdi, the God of Death, just so that he could have more energy to study history while he was still alive.
It can be said that the Great Elder spent all the prayer time of other trolls on reading. He has lived for nine hundred years, and he has read the history books in this history museum once and intensively twice. If not for this, he would also
Not qualified to preside over the compilation of general history.
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go? This is so wonderful! I always feel that compared to this world, mortals are too insignificant.
When I delve deeper into certain histories, the thing I dislike the most are those mages. They don't even understand who they are, they just want to figure out the world, and they randomly create magic webs to cause big troubles!
Studying history is my lifelong pursuit. Unfortunately, with so many documents and materials here, I found a lot of self-contradictions. So much so that when I compile a general history, I often have to discard the self-contradictions.
Studying history simply by relying on documents is not enough, it also needs to be corroborated by specific archaeological discoveries."
Taxiro's words reminded Li De of a "naughty" dwarf who was making trouble everywhere, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"When there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you to a friend. I believe you will be able to chat."
"Ah, is he your friend?"
"We have known each other for a long time, but we have never met each other."
When Li De said this, Taxiro was stunned, but then he also laughed.
"Interesting, I'm looking forward to it."
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, other troll scholars were dumbfounded. Is this the usually serious elder?
However, the conversation between the two did not last long. Soon Yazma came back and brought news that Li De and Takshiro were invited to discuss matters.
Coming to the Golden Throne for the second time, Li De was already familiar with the journey.
Li De first stood aside and waited for Takshiro to talk to Rastakhan. What he wanted to say would take more time. It was necessary to be humble to the old man. At the same time, he also waited to see Rastakhan's attitude towards the orc war.
.
Li De's previous guess was correct. Rastakhan was very concerned about keeping Zandalar aloof.
The policy of not overly interfering with the mainland for thousands of years is based on ensuring that there has never been an absolute military power on the mainland. Only by maintaining the balance of forces on the mainland will no forces threaten the peace of Zandalari.
So when Takshiro said that the situation was likely to get out of control in the future, Rastakhan showed special concern.
But then Rastakhan also said that for the future security of Zandalar, it is necessary to study the history of the orcs, but how to study the history of the orcs needs to be considered in the long term. At least it cannot be to interfere in this war.
Way.
Takshiro immediately agreed. Now that the Great Elder had calmed down a little, he also began to think about the purpose of Li De's proposal to study the history of the orcs. Could it be that he wanted to persuade Zandalari to help the human race fight against the orcs?
Despite such speculation, the Great Elder did not express any further opinions after finishing what he wanted to say, leaving time for Li De and Rastakhan.
However, what surprised everyone was that Li De never mentioned the orc war, but hoped to have cultural exchanges with Zandalari and establish a history academy in Gadgetzan.
"The harsh environment of Tanaris is a kind of destruction to human nature. I envy the high-spirited and proud spirit of the Zandalari people. I hope to bring this culture of attaching importance to history and culture back to Tanaris to enrich the spirit of our people.
minds, and lift their spirits.”
After Li De said this, Rastakhan and the important ministers of the Zanchuli Council all subconsciously leaned forward and breathed a little heavily. The human race has the willingness to actively accept the troll culture, which will be recorded in history.
A strong stroke. It is conceivable that in future history books, the historical status of their generation will surpass that of their predecessors!
Rastakhan really wanted to agree to Li De right away, but he still forced himself to calm down.
"Guard Li De, if this is your intention, I will be happy to continue talking with you, but before that I want to hear your views on the orc war. In order to prevent you from misunderstanding, I will first express an attitude
, Zandalari will not fight the orcs."
Only then did Li De realize that Rastakhan regarded him as a lobbyist, and he immediately expressed his openness.
"I reminded Elder Takshiro to pay attention to the history of the orcs purely out of consideration for Azeroth. I have no other intentions other than that. Because I dare to assert that without the help of Zandalari friends, the orcs are still alive.
The war on the Eastern Kingdom’s continent is bound to fail!”
"Haha, from the information I know, the fighting power of the orcs is extraordinary. I want to know where the confidence of Protector Li De comes from? Didn't a powerful warrior like you also retreat from Stormwind City?"
Behind the glorious capital of Zandalar is a powerful imperial machine. It is not difficult to figure out Li De's origin. Rastakhan's deliberately revealing words did not embarrass Li De.
"The Kingdom of Stormwind did not lose on the battlefield, but lost in conspiracy.
The human race is a race born to fight, and the Kingdom of Storm has cost the orcs a huge price. As long as the seven human kingdoms unite, there is absolutely no possibility for the orcs to defeat it."
Li De's words seemed to Rastakhan to be completely blindly confident, and he felt that it was necessary to pour cold water on him. He was willing to promote cooperation to prevent being involved in the war, and did not want Li De to be too involved in the orc war.
.
"According to the intelligence we have collected, the orc tribe fought with the Seven Kingdoms Alliance of Humans in the Hillsbrad Hills yesterday.
Facing all the elites of the human race, the orcs are not at a disadvantage. Not only do they have dragons participating in the battle, but as far as I know, the tribe will cooperate with the Amani trolls.
It is difficult for the human alliance to fight against the simple orc tribe, but how can it resist the dragon and Amani?
I can understand Protector Li De's feelings for his motherland as a human race, but you have been lucky enough to escape from that battlefield. I hope you can stay rational at this time.
It is a good choice for you to concentrate on running Tanaris. Protect the fire of your human civilization, and Zandalar will help you culturally and even economically. In the future, there will be a prosperous human kingdom in Kalimdor.
"
Rastakhan’s words were very explicit:
'Don't get involved in the troubles in the Eastern Kingdom Continent, and I will agree to cooperate with you.'
Li De couldn't help but shook his head. If he really wanted to be a coward, why would he bother like this?
"Your Majesty, can you let me see the battle report?"
Rastakhan motioned to Yazma to pass on the information on the battlefield in the Eastern Kingdom, while not forgetting to explain it.
"I swear by the honor of Zandalar that the contents of this battle report are true."
"Ah, I don't doubt its authenticity, I just care about the details of the war."
Li De nodded and explained with thanks, flipping through the battle report in his hand and scanning it quickly with his eyes. He read things very quickly, and in less than two minutes he read the ten-page battle report.
"Ha ha……"
Li De closed the battle report neatly and laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, I can understand your concern for your fellow tribesmen, but it's a pity that Amani chose the wrong allies in this war.
You seem to think that this war is a foregone conclusion? However, Amani will not gain any benefits from this. On the contrary, if you really care about your fellow humans, do something, otherwise Amani may be severely damaged.
