After Tokali left, Zul's face was still filled with shock.
Earth Loa has always been the embodiment of kindness and has never set a test. How could he treat the sand trolls differently today?
Zul didn't think this was Tokali trying to make things difficult for Niebuhr. On the contrary, it just meant that she favored the sand trolls.
"What are your plans?"
Li De looked at Niebuhr and asked.
"I decided to take the tribe to accept the test. Dadi Luo'a is right. For such a long time, we have indeed relied too much on you, teacher."
Li De was very happy that Niebuhr had such an awareness. He said that he would respect Tokali's opinion and not interfere in this test. He had confidence in the sand trolls and believed that they could rely on their own strength.
Pass the test.
"Do you want to visit other Loa next? If you are willing, I will take you to visit the God of Transformation, Gonk, and the Lord of the Sky, Pakku."
Zul reminded him on the sidelines that after some thought, Niebuhr rejected Zul's kindness.
"No, I have already accepted the test of one Loa, and then I go to meet other Loa. This is disrespectful to both parties."
After speaking, Niebuhr looked at Li De subconsciously. This was a rare decision for him to make without consulting Li De, and he received an encouraging look from Li De.
Zul had a do-nothing attitude, and he would be happy to be at ease in this case, but he still gave a reminder.
"You have to think carefully, you only have ten days. I have never heard of the test of Loa on Earth, so I don't know how many days it will take.
If you fail the test after ten days, then it is very likely that the final result will be that you are not accepted by a Loa."
Niebuhr hesitated for a while, then finally nodded through gritted teeth.
"I have decided to face the test of Tokali with all my heart."
Zul shrugged, respecting Niebuhr's wishes.
In the afternoon, Li De had to discuss participating in the war with Lal, Yazma, and Talanji, and Niebuhr also had to mobilize his tribe to deal with Tokali's test. They had no reason to stay here, so they left the electorate together.
The platform.
The city of Zandalar is grand and grand, but while walking on the wide stone road, Li De can still feel the strong characteristics of an agricultural society, such as the garbage dumps that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
There was naturally nothing to look at in a garbage dump. Li De just glanced at it and looked away. But the next second he moved his eyes back and stood firm at the same time.
Li De suddenly stopped while walking, which attracted the attention of others, who all looked at Li De in confusion.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
Niebuhr asked with concern, and Li De shook his head.
"It's an indescribable feeling, very strange."
The moment Li De looked away from the garbage pile, it seemed as if someone was watching him, or as if someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
The senses of the heroic warrior are clear and sharp, and this is definitely not an illusion. Li De walked straight towards the garbage dump, he wanted to find out what happened.
The other people accompanying him, whether it was Niebuhr, Anderson or the goblin engineer Nix, were puzzled by Reed's behavior and hesitated to follow.
As the name suggests, people only go to the garbage dump when they throw away garbage. No one will take the initiative to care about this kind of place where waste is abandoned, except of course the scavengers.
Garbage piles can be seen everywhere in the city of Dazar'alor, and the garbage pile in front of Li De is particularly large, with a diameter of two to three meters and a height of one meter. It is piled with all kinds of domestic garbage. Zuldazar's climate is mild, and the garbage piles are
It also exudes a pungent smell, which makes people really not interested in getting close.
But in the gap between the piles of garbage, Li De saw a bright eye, which was staring at him, and the emotions contained in it were particularly rich.
Li De suddenly thought of something, and he saluted towards the garbage pile solemnly.
"Human Li De listens to your wisdom, respected Loa."
The people behind him were stunned to see that after Li Des sallied, a bulge appeared on the garbage pile. As all kinds of garbage were shaken off, a two-meter-tall and slender Lephignathosaurus stood up.
With a light leap, Lesognathus jumped in front of Li De.
The Lesognathosaurus, who called himself Old Garni, stretched out a flexible front paw and placed it on his chest to salute Li De, imitating the posture of an aristocrat. His voice was old and somewhat high-pitched, with a strong sense of humor.
If someone else had saluted like this to Li De, he wouldn't feel strange. But this old Gani saluted like this, and Li De knew that he was definitely not sincere.
It can be said that Li De has heard about this maverick Loa for a long time. Gani is called the god of scavengers. He pities all the poor, orphans, old people living alone and other humble people. At the same time, he despises all high-status people.
people.
Thinking of this, Li De immediately corrected Gani's title to him.
"Please don't misunderstand me. I am not a superior person standing on a high place. I am just an ordinary person walking in front. I'm sorry that I can't accept your salute. If you want to say hello to me, please shake my hand."
After saying that, Li De extended his hand to Gani.
"Are you sure you want to hold my trash-picking hand?"
Gani looked at Li De with some surprise, and said with a half-smile, and deliberately showed his dirty fingers, which were like dry branches wrapping cracked bark, and the gaps were full of black
mud.
Li De did not speak, but stretched his hand further forward, proving his attitude with actions.
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Gani suddenly smiled heartily, and moved his paw towards Li De's hand. Li De's hand did not dodge at all, but added two points of strength, making Gani feel his firmness.
Li De and this Loa shook hands for several seconds. Gani looked at Li De's face carefully with his big and bright vertical pupils, and said something that made Li De a little confused.
"No wonder, no wonder, I understand why they like you so much."
Li De didn't know who exactly "they" Gani was referring to, but he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. It was better for someone to like him than for someone to hate him.
It was then that everyone in the distance realized that the Lesognathosaurus that suddenly appeared was actually a Loa.
"Great scavenger god, Zul salutes you."
Zul endured the pungent smell of garbage and walked over to express his respect to Ghani.
However, Gani was not grateful for this, and instead said it in a strange way.
"I dare not act like the distinguished prophet, but just the humble old Ghani. But if you are willing to shake hands with old Ghani, I will be happy. This is a fresh etiquette I learned from my new friends."
Seeing Gani's extended paw, Zul frowned subconsciously. Of course, he was unwilling to shake hands with Gani, but he only used his posture to make himself appear to respect Gani more.
"Humph, boring."
Gani shook his head and stopped looking at Zul. He ignored him and went to talk to Li De instead.
Zul stood aside a little embarrassed, and looked at Li De in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Li De could chat so well with Loa, a weird-tempered guy like Gani.
Among the Loa of Zandalari, Garni can be said to be the most unique. The source of Loa's power is the faith of believers in him. The stronger the believers, the stronger the power of Loa.
Under this logic, the Loa are willing to accept the faith of the Zandalari high-ranking officials. Just like the kings of Loaraizan, he can be worshiped by the royal family for generations, making all Loa envious.
But Gani was the exception. He disdained all those in power. He was also the only Loa who had never had a believer enter the Council of Zanchuli.
But even so, it must be admitted that Garni has great power. Zandalari at its peak in history had three thousand Loa, and Garni has not only continued its faith inheritance for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, but has become one of the most powerful
Among the most powerful Loa.
At this time, Niebuhr and the others also gathered around, full of various emotions such as curiosity or contempt for this Loa who came out of the garbage heap.
Garni waddled toward the crowd, hopping lightly among the crowd, and occasionally pecked people's heads with his pointed beak.
"I heard about you. You are struggling to survive in the great desert. Tanaris is like a garbage dump in the world, ignored by the world. But you are still tenacious and living a wonderful life there.
Stand in front of the world again. I like you very much, live boldly and boldly, don’t forget your origins..."
Having said this, Garni pecked Niebuhr's head hard, which caused some pain to the young troll chief.
"Boy, Tokali has given you a test, right? Old Garni also has a test, are you willing to accept it?"
"Ah this..."
Niebuhr was greatly surprised. After accepting Tokali, he planned not to visit other Loa. But he didn't. There was another possibility. What would he do if a Loa took the initiative to find him?
Seeing Niebuhr's expression of embarrassment, Gani felt very disappointed at that time.
"Oh, I understand, who is willing to accept the nagging of an old beggar? I am just being sentimental..."
After saying that, Gani turned around and was about to leave. Niebuhr imitated Li De eagerly and took Gani's hand.
"You misunderstood me. I am happy to accept your test."
"Okay, then we've settled."
Hearing what Niebuhr said, Old Garni turned his face on the spot, looking very happy. This made everyone dumbfounded, believing that the look of disappointment just now was just an act.
"But I have accepted the test of Earth Loa. Tomorrow I will set off to the valley north of Dazar'alor. I cannot break my promise to Earth Loa."
Garni let out a light laugh, and the loose flesh of his jaw trembled.
"Don't worry, my test is very simple..."
As he spoke, Garni suddenly turned into a series of afterimages, walking among the crowd and patting everyone's heads with his claws. As he finished his actions, not only all the sand trolls including Niebuhr, but also
The other humans and goblins were all transformed into small slender jaw dragons that were as tall as a human waist!
This kind of transformation spell that was beyond the scope of mortals immediately caused the crowd to panic. Gani smiled to calm everyone's emotions.
"Don't worry, this transformation will be released automatically in three hours. The test I will give you will only be within these three hours."
Ghani's words also made everyone feel a little more at ease.
"In the residential area south of Dazar'alo City, there are some elderly people and orphans living. You have to help them clean their houses within these three hours. Go ahead. There is my projection in the south of the city to guide you."
No one thought that this was the so-called "test", and it was too simple. Suddenly, a large group of "little slender jaw dragons" jumped and jumped towards the south of the city.
"Dear God of Scavengers, isn't it a bit bad for such a large-scale transformation technique to appear in the city..."
Zul said with some embarrassment that in the past, Gani would transform some people into slender jaw dragons, but today the number was probably too many. Unexpectedly, Gani narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile.
"You said that one day, if Lesgnathus can be seen everywhere in Dazar'alor, will it be my fault or yours?"
Zul was speechless for a moment and simply shut up. Gani was best at sarcasm and sarcasm, so it was unwise to argue with him. On the other hand, Li De respected Gani more and more. This Loa was so approachable and there was no ""
"God" look.
Three hours passed quickly. When the people who had completed their voluntary labor returned here, they were all back to their human form and dripping with sweat.
Especially Niebuhr, he traveled to several houses. As a chief, Niebuhr had never done any cleaning work since he was a child. Even in his years of exile, despite the harsh environment in the desert, he still had the ability to clean the house without thinking about it.
convenience.
Now, under Garni's transformation, Niebuhr had truly seen the life of marginalized people in the city, which gave him some new insights.
Garni rubbed Niebuhr's head and praised softly.
"Not bad, not bad. He is a good material."
After that, a ray of light followed Garni's claws and poured into Niebuhr's body from the top of his head. After Niebuhr's heart beat twice, he officially became Garni's priest. From now on, Niebuhr
There is no need for complicated rituals, just through prayer, you can get Gani's response and use his power.
"You should remember in the future that no matter how humble a person is, no matter how small a thing is, they all have their own meaning."
After leaving behind such a lesson, Gani turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.
