The thing that Cheese wants to ask Wu Qi is actually very simple, but this question is something that other grassland people can't answer or can't really answer, "Fire call, what is it?"

There seemed to be no need to raise this question, because Nuisa had already told the Grey Robe about the fire ceremony in the past few days, and besides, the god Wu Qi served was not a fire spirit, and his knowledge of this ritual was probably not as good as that of the wolf lord's daughter. However, Cheese thinks that what he is doing makes sense, and the reason is simple: those who walk in the light will not understand the rules of the night, and even the heroes who are blessed by the spirits will not know as well as the most mediocre shaman.

"Fire Call, so you wanted to ask this. Wu Qi whispered the name over again, he looked up, the expression on his face a little subtle, "Forgive me for having to find out why you asked this question first, is it because you want to help someone benefit from this ritual, or do you want to make a certain decision?" Although we are not shamans who serve the same deity, we are all spirits, and it is impossible for me to tell them all without knowing the purpose of the inquirer. ”

This is not surprising. It is not surprising for a mage that Wu Qi would show such an attitude. Ritual is a magical thing, it is an invisible bond that connects the ritual practitioner and the ritual sacrifice, and this bond is not only limited to the believers and their gods, but also acts on the living and the non-living, the living and the dead, and even the same or different levels in the same society. Mastering rituals and understanding the principles of why they become rituals is a kind of capital, and it is enough to establish one's life and even be knighted and worshipped.

It is neither self-serving nor altruistic to give such capital to others, because rituals and sacrifices must be regulated and restricted, and if they are not checked, they will be as uncontrollable as a flooding river. Random sacrifices and unplanned gatherings will eventually distort the meaning of the ritual itself, and the identity and purpose of the performers will begin to change, and the bond that connects the otherwise disconnected will become fragile and eventually broken.

"Purpose. Cheese took a deep breath, the smell of grass in the evening breeze, the faint moisture from the cold, the stench of livestock from the surrounding camp, and other indescribable ingredients, "yes, what is my purpose? Curious, maybe some, I've always been curious about the rituals of worship in different faiths, but that's not the main reason why I don't have to figure out the fire call. ”

The gray robe closed his eyes, and the image of what he had experienced not long ago appeared in front of him, a large tree that reached through the sky was entrenched with the same huge body, and under that tree, there were countless people with terrifying insect bodies in their abdomen, each of them with the face of an intelligence merchant. He spared us once, why? We dug up the parasite in the stomach of the Saleb child, and here we saw the grotesque thing mutated from the internal organs. There's no reason for Him to let me go, isn't he? Unless, it's all on purpose. Take Lothar, show strength, show mercy. There is also the ambiguous attitude of the spirits.

When the mage opened his eyes again, there was some kind of light in his pupils, not from magic, but from the realization that he had found the answer to a question that was bothering him, "My purpose is to stop some people who are trying to steal the power that they don't understand at all. Before they left the world in shambles. ”

Even more dangerous than the evil gods are the believers of the evil gods. Cheese knows this, although the evil gods are powerful and indescribable, when they want to come to this world, they must pay a price, the whole world will resist their existence, and it is not difficult to find them. But the followers of the evil gods are not, they are the creatures that were originally conceived in this world, and when those forces outside the world are released through their hands, the feedback is not so strong, and the damage that can be caused will not be lessened.

As for the megalomanians who try to steal the power of the gods, they are even more tricky than the believers, who do not understand what they are touching, what that contact means, and how mild the power may seem, it cannot be controlled by anyone. The children were playing with fire, and they were sitting on haystacks.

Wu Qi stared at Cheese, then looked up at the sky, a sky without moon or stars. He closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, resuming his actions at the moment when the wind blowing through the prairie had stopped for a short time, "The spirits approve of your decision, and I will help you." The premise is that it does not conflict with my identity on earth. Before I helped you, I was a shaman in the Tiele Division. ”

Now that Cheese understood something more, he began to understand why Wu Qi was so careful about the fire call, and why Uvel didn't leave the room after asking the two to talk. And why their team didn't enter the bazaar, let alone send emissaries to the wolf lord's tent like the Thun Ministry.

"Understood. My companions and I are not interested in the possession of the wolf lord or the title, I can guarantee that. Whatever happens next in this tribe, and what the final outcome will be, has nothing to do with us travelers, there is only one thing I care about. ”

"And what if this overlaps with the things in the clan?" Uvel couldn't help but speak. In fact, the three people present all understood that what Cheese was investigating did not conflict with what they were going to do, and it could even be said that they complemented each other. Because if there are evil god believers in the clan, it is impossible for those believers not to participate in the battle for the position of the wolf lord, and no matter how these guys want to intervene in the dispute, it will be beneficial to the result to let the gray robe eradicate these people. It's just a question of whether the gray robe will take them into account when acting, and the results will be completely different depending on the timing and way of doing it, and if Cheese and the others insist on going their own way, they will become an uncontrollable mess.

"I'll send someone to communicate with you before I make any big moves. That's up to you, Kailas. As the mage's words fell, the black four-legged creature leapt up from the grass and landed on Uvel's shoulder! The latter instinctively wanted to resist, but his extraordinary calmness and concentration allowed him to resist it. Neither Uvir nor Wuqi noticed the existence of the cat fairy.

"Just know to stuff me with trouble. But for the sake of the fun it seems, I agreed. Kairaz licked his front paws and replied casually. His glittering cat's eyes met the Ironhead's eyes of fire, "What? Don't tell me you prefer dogs. ”
