Chapter 15: Shaman

"What, I'm going to be a shaman?"

Solam looked at the old man in surprise, he didn't hate shamans himself, after all, he came here from another world, and he was still very curious about those spells or something, but he knew that the old man wanted him to become a purebred warrior from before, which was nothing, because in Avalon, the first choice of boys was a warrior, he knew how stubborn the old man was, for so many years, Mama Garom didn't know how many times she persuaded the old man, and she had a lot of quarrels, why did she give up this time?

The old man didn't say anything when he saw Solam's surprised eyes, but let out a long sigh. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion looked very depressed, and Mama Garrom saw the old man's expression and took over the conversation.

"There's no way around it, who told you to wake up so early."

"Is there anything wrong with awakening early and going crazy?" Solam had never heard of it.

"Of course, you know where our Avalonian orcs come from, right?" Mama Garome replied in the affirmative, and asked about the origin of the Orcs of Soram Avalon.

"I've heard Aunt Solari say that our ancestors, led by the prophet Thrall, came to Avalon in order to rid themselves of the chaotic and evil ancient orc gods, and formed our Avalon orcs."

"That's true, but it's not accurate, in the past, the orcs were not divided into Avalon orcs, black orcs, and war orcs as they are now. The previous orcs were barbaric and chaotic, and most of the orcs were muddy, stupid and brutal.

It wasn't until thousands of years ago that the Prophet Thrall appeared, he changed the teachings of the shaman, and let our ancestors get out of the chaotic state of life, which led to the great division of the orcs, and I Avalon orcs inherited the will of the prophet and maintained the shamanic teachings left by the prophet, and some orcs also broke away from the chaos and embraced the will of the god of war, Kampas, that is, the war orcs. And some of the orcs who are unwilling to change their living conditions have taken refuge in some evil gods after all the orc gods have fallen, which is the black orcs. Mama Garome began to tell some of the ancient history.

Black orcs, with mostly dark gray and green skin, are chaotic and evil, and they are all this kind of orcs who plunder and kill everywhere on the continent.

The orcs are red-skinned and believe in the god of war, Kampas, who have also gotten rid of the orc gods because of the influence of the prophet, but instead of choosing to believe in the new shamanic teachings, they have been co-opted by the god of war, and now have established their own kingdom in the savannah between the Dragon Mountains and the Giant's Belt Mountains in the southeast of the continent.

The Avalon orcs, on the other hand, have yellowish skin, somewhat like the complexion of Asians in previous lives.

"But what does this have to do with my awakening madness?" Solam looked at Mama Garrom with a look of greeting.

"Of course, the prophet Thrall found that a large part of the responsibility for the chaos of the orcs is due to our gift of madness, which gives us great strength for orcs, but the power of rage also affects our minds, and the more we indulge in this power, the more we lose our minds. It is because the prophet saw this, so he improved the old shamanic teachings and let us get out of the influence of rage, otherwise, our race will always be looked down upon by other races, you must know that in ancient times, in the eyes of other races, we were not intelligent creatures at all, just like ogres and goblins, but only monsters. Mama Garrom explained.

"We, the Avalon orcs, have been blessed by the Prophet a long time ago, and our minds can resist the influence of madness when we reach adulthood, so that our minds will not affect it, and through our cultivation, our warriors will be able to achieve a higher level of madness-calm madness, while retaining the power of madness, but we can maintain a calm mind. But there are always accidents in everything, and the orcs who are not adults are overstimulated, and they can go berserk very early, and these children will become mad more and more frequently because they can't resist the effects of madness, and many of them will become mad later, and finally go berserk and die. That's why we never talk about madness to you kids, because we're afraid that you'll try this power without knowing the severity. ”

, it's a big deal now, Solam didn't expect that he would sneak out to hunt, there would be such serious consequences, although he has confidence in his mind, but the devil knows how weird this world is, if you are not careful, you must not become a psychopath.

Well, in Solam's opinion, those guys who can't bear the sequelae of madness have become neurotic, and I shudder to think about it. But it's great to control yourself in the future without going crazy, and this control force Soram is still very confident.

"Then I don't have to go crazy in the future, so it should be fine, right?"

"Hehe, it's not going berserk, is that still an Avalon warrior? What's more, when it's really a critical moment, can you really control it? You know, if you can't control the effects of madness, your temper will become more and more difficult to control, and in the end, if you don't do it well, even if the weather is bad, it will make you crazy. The old man interjected coldly at this time.

Also, in the eyes of the orcs, madness is the most important means for a warrior to fight against those magical beasts and spells, and madness can not only improve the strength and physique of the warrior, but also improve the warrior's own resistance to spells. Without this means, an orc warrior is equivalent to halving the direct combat power, otherwise how do you think that the hero of the ancient Warsong clan, Grom Hell Roar, could kill three in and three out in the devil's battle array, if it weren't for the super high spell resistance brought by the high-level madness - calm madness, he would have been set on fire by the devil's spell and directly exploded into scum.

Therefore, the warriors who can't use Berserker in Avalon belong to the castrated version and can't be considered orthodox warriors at all, which is the most important reason why the old man finally gave up on letting Soram embark on the path of a warrior.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Can I escape the effects of madness by becoming a shaman? Soram asked, although he himself had no obsession with becoming a warrior, but it was inevitable that he would not be happy to give up for this reason.

"Of course, being a shaman can certainly resist madness, you must know that the prophet Thrall was also addicted to madness for a while when he was very young, but he eventually got rid of that power because he followed the path of shamanism."

"Can I become a warrior if I become a shaman? Since the power of the shaman can resist the influence of madness, can't I control madness? ”

"The beauty you think, when you become a shaman, you completely lose the ability to go berserk, as for why, the prophet passed down the shamanic teachings to eliminate this power, how can you still have a chance to contact this power again?" The old man smacked Soram hard.

"Forehead 。。。。。。" Soram scratched the back of his head, and the old man complained about it.

"Ahem!" Mama Garrom interrupted their interaction with a fake cough. "Ram, would you like to be a shaman yourself? It is important to know your own will, and if you do not agree with the shaman's teachings in your heart, you will not succeed in the ceremony. ”

"Of course I do, I don't want to be crazy." Solam didn't have any problem with becoming a shaman, not to mention that becoming a shaman was not one of those weak mages, he could also carry an axe and cut people everywhere, he himself had seen Mama Garome carry her heavy flail and chase the old man around, shaman is a warrior who can spell and can't go berserk, although this statement is not accurate, it is not much wrong.

"Well, that's fine, then I'll tell you about our shamanic teachings。。。。。。" Then he began to talk at length.

Shamans are the spiritual leaders of clans and tribes. They communicate with spirits and elements, have the ability to foresee the future, and guide their people through the dark ages. Many people misinterpret their wisdom and calmness as pacifist nature. In fact, when challenged, shamans possess powerful abilities to deal with those who disturb the natural order. Shamans believe that all things have spirits, that they can communicate with the earth, with fire, with storms, with currents of water, and that they are in a state of equal communication.

Shamanic teachings tell us to save the dead and to cherish life, so shamans do not kill other beings for reasons other than to fill their stomachs, and they do not kill their young unless necessary. But much better than a druid, not losing strength for violating the teachings. But there is one thing that the shaman is stricter than other spell-casting professions, that is, he can't fall into chaos, and once he falls into chaos, the shaman's power will be lost immediately, but there is not much requirement for good and evil, as long as it does not destroy the natural order, it basically has no effect, so the shaman can kill countless people, but if you die, it is completely too much to think about destroying the world or something.

There are two main types of orc shamans in Avalon, one is the soul shaman who specializes in communicating with the soul, this kind of shaman can communicate with the spirits of the whole world, can soothe the soul, just like the monk in the previous life, can overrun the irritable undead to restore its tranquility. This kind of shaman is strong in healing and the blessing of positive spells, and can also cast curses, (this is the kind of person who turns people into frogs), and the most important thing is that they can summon heroic spirits, and the soul shaman can let the heroic spirit possess them, thus greatly improving their own strength and combat skills, such as Mama Garome, although she is an old lady in her 60s, but she only needs to summon the heroic spirit to possess her, and fight a warrior like Solam's uncle and play. This is still the old lady is only level 17, if the old lady can cross level 20 to reach the legendary level, then you can directly summon the heroic spirit to come, directly conjure one to three legendary heroic spirits, and directly turn into a group fight, so generally dealing with a legendary-level soul shaman is equivalent to dealing with multiple legendary-level at the same time.

However, it is difficult for the shaman to advance to the legend, in addition, the soul shaman can also communicate with the soul through some rituals to complete the solution of some questions, or simply predict the future, but the future is unpredictable, and even the gods cannot accurately predict it, so let alone the shaman, it is generally not very reliable.
