The excited Antana didn't notice the strange look in Prior's eyes at all. She was so happy that she couldn't wait to tell her understanding to Prior.
It turned out that the conversation she had with Prell just after the New Year made Antana start to think carefully. She didn’t know what “balance” Preel meant, because it already belonged to metaphysics.
From a philosophical perspective, for the tauren race who are busy with survival, philosophy is of little significance to the survival of the race, and no one can answer her questions.
So Antana talked with shamans of various races in the kingdom, and found that almost all shamans agreed that their power came from the four elements that filled the entire world and even the universe, except for tauren and eaters.
Except for humans and demons, who rely on master-disciple inheritance, other races all rely on awakening, so most shamans do not understand the principle of the source of their power.
After all, shamanic belief is the oldest, primitive and most mainstream belief of the tauren. She couldn't find the answer here, so Antana found the druids of the Kingdom of Thresh.
However, most of the druids in the Kingdom of Thresh are technical personnel, such as those who are responsible for agriculture, forestry and greening, and dealing with wild beasts, as well as raptor druids like Gonzalo.
If you ask them to talk about their professional knowledge, the druids of the Kingdom of Thresh will all be eloquent, but if they talk about the Druid beliefs of the tauren, this is not their strength.
After all, the Cenarion Circle, as an organization of druid professionals, has a tendency to combine religion and military into one, and almost none of the druids chosen by Prell to come to work in the Kingdom of Thresh are considered evangelists.
.
So Antana asked for leave from her boss, returned to Thunder Bluff, and asked Hamuul Runetotem and his disciples about Druid religious beliefs and the history of the tauren.
Hamuul Runetotem is a loyal elder. Although druids do not occupy the mainstream of tauren belief, he has not been developing his own beliefs and beliefs in private like Magatha Horrible Totem.
organize.
In response to Antana's request, Hamuul Rune Totem was very patient and told the history of the tauren in detail, and also told the history of the tauren's belief in druids from beginning to end.
According to Hamuul, in ancient times, a group of jungle trolls were attracted by the Well of Eternity and settled nearby. Affected by the surging magic power of the Well of Eternity, they eventually formed the ancient night elf race, that is,
Kaldorei.
Since they were transformed from jungle trolls, the Kaldorei have adapted and become accustomed to the deep external environment of the jungle and the activities at night, so they began to believe in Elune, the moon god who represents the night.
So today's night elves, the priests of their race, are called priests of the moon. Although they can be like human and dwarf priests and can use the power of holy light and shadow, the night elves believe that their power comes from the moon.
God.
Similarly, the Druid beliefs inherited from Cenarius also believe that their power comes from nature under the care of the moon god. Therefore, the Druid's spells are natural damage, but many spells are also borrowed.
Use the power of the moon, such as the moon fire spell.
Due to the existence of the city-state of Dalaran, elves and humans have had a lot of communication and exchanges about beliefs and spells, and they have influenced each other. Priests who can use the Holy Light have also appeared among the elves, and those traditional night elves who believe in the Holy Light have
The moon priests from the moon are different. These priests abide by and agree with the human theory about the holy light.
Unfortunately, Hamuul Rune Totem didn't know much about the human theory of belief in the Holy Light, and he couldn't explain how the Holy Light was used.
So Antana still didn't find her answer from the Arch Druid in the end, but she decided on one thing. Since Prell said balance, then she went to find out what balance was.
So Antana wandered alone in the golden plains near Thunder Bluff. She was exposed to the scorching sun for a whole day, and she also sat alone for a whole night under the clear light of the full moon and stars in the sky.
However, she never knew what balance was. Until she met a small group of tauren who had just moved from Black Cloud Peak in Thousand Needles. These tauren were assigned by Cairn Bloodhoof to hunt specifically. In the hunting team
, Antana met a tauren shaman who was blind in one eye.
The shaman, who lost an eye in the battle with the centaurs, invited the heifer hunter to hunt with him, and he and his companions warmly entertained the secret Antana.
After listening to Antana's story, the shaman burst out laughing: "I think the balance you are pursuing is very similar to the harmony we believe in. We shamans firmly believe that everything has animism.
Every living thing has a meaning and purpose for its existence, which constitutes this wonderful yet cruel world.
The four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire are the basic elements of the entire world and are also the source of power for our shamans, but they are what we pray to and borrow from the elements.
But the source of power in this world is not just elements. I heard that mages of some races can use the power of arcane magic, but at the same time, mages can also use the power of ice and fire.
Therefore, the source of power of any spellcaster may not be fixed. Just like us shamans, if they can only borrow the power of a certain element, we do not recognize him as a real shaman.
In the same way, mages can still use power from many different sources. Why can't paladins learn from mages? You said that night elf priests use the power of the moon msha. I think human priests may use the sun's peace.
The power of equanimity, right?"
Antana suddenly had an enlightenment at that moment. She finally figured it out. Prell once said that belief in Anshe is a complement and a balance to the belief in Msha of the night elves!
So Antana realized something in her heart, and she sat quietly in the boundless green ocean of the golden grassland. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning came, Antana sat on her knees and began to try to experience the real sunshine.
She abandoned all distracting thoughts, focused on nothing, and bathed in the blazing sunshine wholeheartedly. Then in the warm and ardent sunshine, she felt a trace of power contained in it, which was the Holy Light!
When the sun set, Antana opened her eyes tiredly and saw the simple and concerned smiles of the one-eyed shaman and several tauren. She stood up and cast the Holy Light she had just realized on herself, Holy Light Drive.
The fatigue all over her body was gone, and at that moment, Antana was extremely radiant!
After listening to Antana's story, Prell had woken up from the complete shock. Originally, he had always felt guilty for deceiving Antana because he really couldn't explain the reason why he obtained the Holy Light, so he could only take some
Use vague words to prevaricate.
But I didn't expect that Antana actually obtained the power of holy light from the sun according to the way shamans believe in the elements!
Although the power of Antana's Holy Light is very weak, Prell can feel it. It is the real Holy Light. Although the source of the power is different from his own, the way it expresses is exactly the same as Prell's Holy Light.
"I have now learned how to use holy light to heal wounds. Although my holy light is still very weak, I will definitely continue to practice hard and study!" Antana's beautiful big eyes were shining with joy. She looked at Prey
You, solemnly bowed with the etiquette of a tauren.
"Preel, my mentor, thank you for the advice you gave me!" Antana's words made Prior feel a little at a loss. He felt that he had actually done nothing, and it was Antana's opportunity to be able to comprehend the Holy Light.
But Antana didn't think so. She felt that Prell had already told her how to understand balance from the beginning, but she didn't think of that. From this point alone, Prell could be called a
My own teacher.
In the end, Prell reluctantly accepted Antana as her apprentice, and Antana immediately said that she would continue to practice hard, and if there were other problems that she could not understand, she would come back to Teacher Prell for advice.
Seeing Antana leave, Prell sighed. He himself didn't know how to guide Antana to continue learning new Holy Light spells, but Antana was obviously a good student. Not only did she learn how to use Holy Light
The light healed the wounds of others, and even learned to inject holy light into weapons without any teacher.
And she has already followed Prell's example, abandoning the bow and arrow, picking up the long sword, using the long sword as a combat weapon, and began to learn fighting skills from other tauren warriors.
Prell didn't know whether he should be happy or worried about having an apprentice who didn't have to worry about him. In the end, he decided not to think about anything.
In any case, Antana became the first tauren paladin and Prell's first apprentice. The news quickly spread throughout the Thresh Kingdom and even Thunder Bluff.
And when the news continued to spread to Orgrimmar and Forest Village, it even attracted many tauren, orcs and trolls, including a few flexible kobolds and gnolls, who were eager to try and learn from Prell.
During the Path of Holy Light, important news came from the tauren in Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
An army of centaurs went south from Desolation, passed through Feralas, arrived at the camp of the Jarak clan in Thousand Needles, and began to climb through Thousand Needles to the cliffs of the Southern Barrens. Their destination was approximately the Backwaters.
oasis.
In the Centaur Civil War in Desolate Land, the large-scale war has ended, but small-scale battles have almost never stopped. At the beginning, the battle only took place between the Magram clan and the Kokar clan, but soon, the Kyrgyz clan
They were also involved, so the Magram clan fought with the Kyrgyz clan again.
So the Kokar clan had a rare chance to breathe. The year before last, that is, the year the Battle of Mount Hyjal broke out, the Kokar clan finally signed armistice agreements with the Magram and Kyrgyz clans respectively. The tired Centaur finally
Decided to seek temporary peace.
After nearly two years of rest and recuperation, the Kokar clan finally decided to withdraw its main force from the Desolate Land and continue to single-mindedly cause trouble for the feuding tauren.
So the Kokar clan once again united with the Garak clan and prepared to attack the tauren of Thunder Bluff again through the Barrens!
