A tall Zandalari troll blinked a pair of blue-gleaming eyes, half-bent and bowing towards Tonatiu beside the bonfire.
"I have sent you the new credentials of the God King, as well as a personal letter from His Excellency the Prophet."
"I, Pakku's servant, Ral, Lord of the Zandalari Hexes, send you my sincere greetings!"
"At the same time, on behalf of Zandalar, I once again invite you to visit Zandalar as a guest to observe the Dinosaur Festival that will be held in two months."
Modrasin Camp.
Next to the emerald pond that exuded a faint breath of life, Tonatiu looked down at the troll who was neither humble nor arrogant.
Lal, the sorcerer lord of Zandalar and the chief priest of the pterodactyl Loa god Paku.
The last time he came to Zultona as a guest on behalf of Zandalar, he gave him the weapons Zul gave to Tonatiu.
At the same time, Tonatiu was also invited to Zandalar as a guest.
Tonatiu answered him.
As long as Zul'Farrak is recovered, he will take the weapons sent by Zul and go to Zandalari as a guest.
It's been just over three months now.
"I'm going. I said it. I did it, so I'm going."
After thinking for a while, Tonatiu said to the magic lord in a calm voice:
"The Dinosaur Festival has not been held by the Desert Trolls for many years. I think Zandalari will be very lively at that time."
"Thank you for coming."
Lal smiled and said: "Of course. The Dinosaur Festival is held only once every ten years, and every time it is the busiest time in Zandalar. The Dinosaur Festival is not only a celebration for Zandalari, but also a carnival for all of us trolls.
"
Tonatiu smiled and nodded.
Dinosaur Day is the largest and most important festival in troll society.
It is said that it was originally a festival proposed by the first prophet, the first Zul.
In order to celebrate the birth of the first troll empire, and to commemorate and thank the many dinosaur loa who sacrificed their lives in the battle between trolls and ever since.
And proposed as a holiday to celebrate.
Then it slowly evolved into the most lively festival for trolls, which is probably equivalent to the Spring Festival and Christmas on earth.
But according to some vague legends mentioned by Zangal, Tonatiu felt that the way the trolls celebrated the Dinosaur Festival should be similar to the carnival on the Latin American side of the earth.
It's just a bunch of trolls accompanying a bunch of dinosaurs on the street, surrounded by lively people on both sides, having a carnival of drinks and dancing.
This holiday is indeed important to trolls.
I don't know about the eastern continent.
But here in the Tanaris Desert, the desert trolls don't even have enough to eat, and the event has not been held for who knows how many years.
The Dinosaur Festival has almost become a legendary festival among the desert trolls.
After all, I don’t even have enough food to eat.
Desert trolls who might not be able to see tomorrow's sun at any time have no time to enjoy any festivals.
There is meat to eat and water to drink every day.
For most of the poor desert trolls, every day is a holiday.
This makes among the desert trolls, except for old trolls like Zangar who were born as old witch doctors, not many desert trolls know about this festival.
In fact, many races in Azeroth have their own festivals.
For example, in Quel'Thalas, the high elves commemorate a festival called "Descent Day".
It was to commemorate the day when their ancestors successfully crossed from Kalimdor eastward to Azeroth and landed successfully.
The status is similar to Troll's Dinosaur Festival.
After being reminded by the sorcery lord Lal, Tonatiu remembered that there are no festivals between desert trolls and Zutona now.
Festivals play a big role.
Politically speaking, ethnic or power regimes holding major festivals can consolidate their political power, enhance people's cohesion and centripetal force, and demonstrate their strength to the outside world.
Economically speaking, this can create opportunities for business exchanges, thereby expanding demand and promoting economic development.
Culturally speaking, festivals are held to trace traditions, commemorate ancestors, and pass on the essence of culture.
Almost no harm at all.
Perhaps after the desert trolls have basically stabilized, a festival can be held among the desert trolls.
Tonatiu was considering the pros and cons of holding a festival for the desert trolls.
The magic lord sighed in his heart.
I lamented the rapid expansion of the troll and his tribe's power in front of me, and the violent development progress, which is simply unheard of in the entire history of trolls.
Three months ago, he came to present his credentials on behalf of Zandalar.
This is just a way for Zandalari to follow the custom in troll society and send letters of credence to every troll chief with a certain amount of power to express their sense of existence.
An invitation to be a guest is indeed a sincere invitation.
But often they just want the short-sighted troll chiefs in every corner of the world to see the glory of Zandalari.
Let them know.
Only the Zandalar are the troll clan.
It's like showing off the muscles in your arms.
Because Lal is the chief priest of Paku, controls the swift pterodactyl, and is considered to be very handsome among the trolls, he often does various diplomat jobs.
He has seen too many troll tribes, ranging from barbaric to cowardly, from confident to arrogant troll chiefs.
The number he has seen is no less than 100.
Before this, Lal admitted that he had never seen a troll chief like Tonatiu.
Physically strong.
Mentally stable.
Very ambitious and very rational.
What's more important is that his tribe is different from any troll tribe Lal has ever seen.
Zutona gave Lal the feeling that he had gone to a smaller version of Zandalari.
This made the witch lord like Zutona very much, and he also thought highly of Tonatiu.
But when Tonatiu said that he would only visit Zandalar after defeating Zul'Farrak.
Lal began to disagree.
It is true that Zutona is very powerful, which makes Lal feel fresh and new when he is used to ordinary troll tribes.
How many trolls are there in Zutona?
Zul'Farrak has more than 200,000 trolls and so many troops.
Maybe it will develop for a few more decades, or a hundred years.
Zu'tona's strength will surpass that of Zul'Farrak. At that time, Zu'tona will hope to unify the entire desert trolls and recreate the Falaki Empire of the past.
But could it be that Tonatiu would not go to Zandalar until decades later?
Lal began to feel that Tonatiu was too young and that was why he was so arrogant.
But he has a good temper.
Unlike other grumpy Zandalari lords, Lal left Zultona with a smile and went to deliver messages and work as a diplomat elsewhere.
What Tonatiu said in front of him: "The day when the desert trolls are unified is the time to go to Zandalari as a guest."
He regarded it as the arrogant words of a young, promising, ambitious but arrogant troll chief.
However, when Lal completed his other diplomatic work, he just returned to Zandalar by boat.
As a result, His Majesty the God King and Prophet Zul put him in front of him and gave him another task.
Invite the troll who has unified the entire desert tribe and may be the future emperor of the Falaki Empire to come to Zandalar as a guest.
Lar was a little unable to react at first.
When he found out that in less than half a month after he left, the extremely "arrogant" young troll actually led his weak tribe to defeat the Sand Fury trolls and captured the ancestors.
El Farak, when he unified the desert trolls.
The Hex Lord's reaction was impossible.
How is it possible then?
Later I slowly accepted it, but I was still in a state of incredulity.
Until, he learned from his god, His Majesty the Pterodactyl Parker, that behind this troll chief, there might be the "destination of all things" for the trolls.
Only then did Lar completely believe it.
With His Majesty's help, perhaps we can succeed.
After all, even in Zandalar, only His Majesty Lezan can steadily defeat him.
I just didn't expect Him to help the young chief.
The Destination of All Things is unpopular in Zandalari, but every troll will eventually face Him.
The trolls all respected and feared Him.
Respect is the fear that if you are rude to Him, you will be dragged to His palace of Hades to carry bricks forever.
Fear No one is not afraid of death.
With doubts about how the One Who Is the End of All Things could support Tonatiu, the magic lord Lal boarded the Zandalari ship again and came to Tanaris again.
Disembark at Steamwheedle Port.
Riding my companions, I rushed to Un'Goro Crater overnight. When I passed Modrasin, I was shocked when such a huge oasis appeared in the desert.
As a result, I saw the shining Tonatiu, landing here, sent his credentials and Zuldu's letter, and at the same time invited Tonatiu to be a guest again.
