While Richard's side was making moves against the elemental forces, Thrall was working hard in the Frostwolf Clan.

Thrall in the snow was carrying a huge four-hoofed animal and was trying to walk towards the camp of the Frostwolf Clan, and as he walked, Thrall wondered if life was too simple now, whether it was in the concentration camp or on Kozan Island, there were many tasks every day, but now it was enough to catch wild beasts and collect food every day. Although the people here were hostile and suspicious of him, he and his warriors were the worst fed and even worse than the wolves of the clan.

Thrall did not see this as an insult to him, but rather a test, and his sudden arrival as the son of a former chief would inevitably cause resentment, just as they would inevitably oppose the sudden appearance of a man on the island of Kozan who no one knew about to lead them.

Thrall, who had this mentality, did not reject any of the tasks assigned to him, burying garbage, skinning animals, collecting firewood, and doing every little thing without complaint. Because of her efforts, at least in the blizzard at this time, most of the people of the Frostwolf Clan regarded him as a companion.

Thrall left the animals he had captured in the warehouse and prepared to return to his room, while Drektar remained patrolling around his room. For the past few days, Drektar has been around Thrall's room every day, and Thrall has seen him as a test.

Thrall walked past Drektar's side, but Drektar still didn't say anything, and Thrall suddenly thought of a question, that is, about the relationship between the orcs and wolves of the Frostwolf Clan.

"Wolves, you say?" the old shaman smiled, "wolves are not tamed, wolves are creatures that can never be tamed, and they are not as you understand them in your mind. They were able to become our friends because of the shamans, starting with the first shaman of the frostwolf clan, each of them dealing with the wolves, and they traded their sincerity for the help of the wolves. Communication with living beings is also part of shamanism. Shamans and nature have an inseparable connection, shamans can feel each other's hearts when communicating with creatures, and only with true sincerity can animals respond to you. Don't underestimate these animals, they have been very helpful to us since they became our companions. ”

The old shaman pointed to his shoulder, which was covered with blood from Sal's hunting animals.

"They are better hunters than you, they can provide us with fur in the cold without putting their own lives at risk, and they can warn us when we make our rounds that you are also a credit to the wolves, and if it were not for the wolf friends, your friends would not be alive today, let alone hunt in good health. They and we can not only give, but also get in return, we can ensure that they have enough food, that their injuries can be cured, that most of their newborn children can grow up healthy, and that their young will be hunted and killed by the ubiquitous predators at the newborn stage. ”

Sal nodded yes, and the old shaman felt Sal's approval, laughed and continued: "In addition to the wolves, I also have a contract with the goats of Alterac, and although they are not as intelligent and aggressive as wolves, they are also extremely important to us, and their wool and goat's milk are important sources of clothing and food. They even give their lives when we need them, and as a debriefing, we protect them. And the pact is not mandatory, they are free to break it whenever and wherever they want, but this has not happened in many years. And, here you will see a scene that you will not see anywhere else, the harmony of wolves and goats. ”

Sal's eyes immediately appeared in front of the wonderful scene he had seen before, and he sighed in his heart at the magic of the shamanic artifact: "Is it possible for you to communicate with other creatures besides animals?"

The old shaman nodded: "I can also summon wind, snow, thunder and lightning, I can also ask trees to move, and I can also know their direction from the river." ”

Thrall suddenly wondered and asked, "If the shaman's power is so strong, why do you choose to live in the Alterac Mountains where the environment is so harsh, or why don't you use your spells to turn this barren mountain into a lush meadow or forest, so that you have plenty of food, or make it difficult for your enemies to find you." ”

The old shaman's expression suddenly turned cold: "If I do what you say, I will be abandoned by all the things of nature in violation of the agreement with the elements!"

Sal realizes that he has asked a very serious question, but he can't get it back.

The old shaman continued to say angrily: "The greedy claws of human beings have polluted you to such an extent that you do not understand anything, this is because you cannot see the true power of the shaman. These things recognize me because of my sincere respect and willingness to give in return, and my requests are only very modest requests for my people, and those important things must be very just. I am always grateful for these powers, they are borrowed, not bought by me or made to belong to me by some other means! They come to me by their choice and not by my subjective will, these powers and wills are not slaves, Thrall, these are powerful entities with their own Iori, my companions, not my servants. You'll never understand!"

The old shaman finally walked away with a near-growller, and Thrall heard his disgruntled words: "It's disappointing, it's a shame that the fire spirit is still optimistic about you......"

Sal looked at the old shaman's back Sal pondered the meaning of "shaman", and after listening to the old shaman's words, Sal felt that the way of the shaman was more like an equal exchange, the two sides were interdependent, and the user could neither control the power in his hands, nor be dominated by energy. The relationship between the shaman and these things is one of mutual trust, more like a friend.

Thrall scratched his head, Richard had sent him to the Alterac Mountains, where he had the task of learning the way of shamanism, but now it was very difficult to learn shamanism from Drektar, and even to talk to the old shaman. Is this a failure? Sal gritted his teeth, and it seemed that he had to figure out what to do!

As it turned out, Sal was right. For several days, the old shaman did not speak to Sal. Thrall had to continue to do his menial work, but as time passed, Thrall felt alienated from the Frostwolf Clan......
