The officers were settled, but the Earl and the Count could not go out through the main gate of the camp. To be precise, it is difficult for them to go out through any of the open exits, and the eyes of others have long surrounded this camp. Coupled with the arrival of a shaman, even a bird flying out of here may touch some people's nerves. This can't be helped, as the most noble and special existence in the tribe now, his every move, especially his initiative to break his declaration of avoiding the crowd, is impossible not to make people suspicious. And while a few people were thinking about how to leave, someone happened to come in.

"Master, there are two shamans outside asking to be met. "Nthought followed Lothar and they had just walked out of the tent and were about to begin arranging their men, when a guard came to report it.

"How long have you been here?" The white wolf had ordered before that unless it was an enemy attack, no trespass was allowed to enter the big tent, mainly because it was about the heirs of the wolf lord and the ugliness, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. And judging from the fact that the guards rushed to see him as soon as they came out, the two shamans who asked to see him must not have just arrived. This is also normal, ordinary people do not dare to come to have opinions on the actions of the ugly, and the only one who can come to inquire is the shaman.

"What's going on? Didn't you say there's only one shaman here?" Lothar asked the white wolf with some confusion, he had heard others emphasize the uniqueness of etiquette and ugliness more than once, why did two more pop up now?

Rather than rushing to deal with this request, Ensaild explained to the Count first, "In the steppe, shamans have two identities. First, since he is a person who serves all the spirits, without the approval of the spirits, the shaman is not established, which is also the original meaning of the shaman. However, later on, each tribe realized the importance of the existence of the shaman for its own development, and its status was also improved, so the shaman specifically referred to those who served the clan spirit on this basis. It's just that many weaker tribes are satisfied to have a shaman, so the two meanings gradually converge. ”

"Then aren't these two shamans serving your clan spirits?" Lothar was a little confused by the white wolf's words, and he could understand that the other party had dismantled the title shaman into a communicator at the level of ghosts and gods, and at the same time had the ability to be a similar official in charge of ghost affairs in the tribe. But the question is, since there are already shamans who serve the spirits of the clan, why would other shamans be allowed to exist in this tribe? You must know that all the tribes of the steppe attach great importance to their own clan spirits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the tribes that worship different gods do not regard each other as the same kind of creatures at all.

"Yes and no. The white wolf shrugged, this matter is secret, it is indeed not a foreigner in the tribe, but in fact it needs to be kept secret, it is not necessary, "First of all, these shamans are all in the service of the tribe, and their origins and the gods they serve have nothing to do with it. The spirit of fire is the spirit of our tribe, and no one has any objections, but other than that, the size of the tribe is here, and we can't bother the god in everything, so we will ask these shamans for help in some things. In exchange, the gods they worship will also be worshiped as companions in the sacrifice, but the pattern will not be too large. ”

"Won't this break down the cohesion of the clan?" said Lothar without much concern, probably because of his polite attitude, and he had a good opinion of Ensaild. As for what he said, it meant that the plural objects of worship existed in a social group at the same time, and although it seemed that there were primary and secondary beings, the spirits of the steppe were originally equal to each other, and over time it would inevitably cause religious divisions within the clan. This division may not be problematic in normal times, but in the event of a major shock, the clan is likely to split into several factions.

The white wolf naturally understands this truth. Practically every tribe is more or less aware of this. It's just that there is a reason why this happened, "Actually, the cause of this situation is because of my father, or this is a situation that will inevitably occur in the wolf master's clan." You see, a large number of foreign women, including my mother, have been absorbed by the rise of our tribe, and it is impossible for them to convert all of them, whether their children or the attendants who accompany them, to the spirit of fire. Especially those who have been blessed by their own gods, there is no reason to do so. In addition, in order to gain more support, some tribes will also send their shamans when they marry women, and of course such tribes must have multiple shamans. This is also seen as a sign of absolute allegiance to the wolf lord. ”

Faith cannot be compromised, it cannot be disobeyed, and the slightest concession will make the believers rise up in groups. If there is anything in this world that can compete with it or even force it to retreat, it is only reality, and the benefits brought by reality can make people suppress the unhappiness in their hearts and accept concessions. The rise of the wolf lord is an example, a tribe wants to leap from a normal medium and large tribe to a hegemon, it is extremely difficult to rely on the existing population and talent alone. They may be invincible blades, but there are always places where the blades can't be cut, and domination, not fists big enough. Absorption, tolerance, this is what the rise must bear, if you want to rule the other party, you can't have the mentality of killing them all, and the gods that the other party originally believed in naturally can't destroy them all at once. Assimilation takes time, and perhaps if the wolf lord's clan lasts for a long time, then the children born into the next generation will naturally accept the belief system of the fire spirit as the main god and the other gods as subordinate gods. But not yet, there is not enough time.

"Guess who this allegiance will fall upon after your father's death. The Count was asking, but his tone was like a conclusion. This is a question that does not need to be answered, and anyone who knows anything about the situation will understand that in a situation like this, the shamans are just as involuntary as everyone else, except for the tribal core of the clergy. Whether they are willing or unwilling, they will be bound by blood and interests, and they will inevitably have promising heirs, so they will be hostile to other heirs. Transcendent neutrality, does not belong to them.

"Whoever it falls on, they are shamans. If I shut them out, my brothers and sisters and people will think that's what the one inside means. I am afraid that the impact will be even greater and worse at that time. As far as I know, the name of the god that is most pronounced in my people is not the Spirit of Fire. "A perverse god can be worshiped by the royal family by virtue of his great power. But it will never become an idol for the whole people, because most people do not need the power to help them defeat the enemy, they just want a better life. In this case, the choices brought by these foreign shamans will naturally not be without a market. And judging from the words of the white wolf, the market in this tribe may not be small.

At this point in time, when Enthought was uncertain about his next move, Batu lifted the curtain of the tent and stepped out, "The old shaman asked me to tell you that if anyone comes to him, let them come." He also happened to have something to say to them. ”
