Table Talk
Alonsus's hospitality is extremely thoughtful. Although the food on the table is very simple, it is cheap and does not require too much etiquette, let alone complicated tableware such as knives and forks. This is obviously taking care of Trolls's dining habits.💔♤ 🍩♗
Although they were specially taken care of, Zul'ra and Sabra still felt a little uncomfortable. Sabra was mainly not used to sitting with Tirion, while Zul'ra was not used to eating these foods. The vegetables were raw, the steak was half-cooked, and the bread was light. Although they were not used to it, they had to make do with it. After all, this was someone's entertainment.
"Zul'ra Jin, can you tell us about your voodoo belief?" Alonsus eats very light and simple meals because he is old, and he was looking for topics to talk about while eating.
"Of course, voodoo is voodoo in Zandalar, which means "soul". It worships various souls that exist in nature. They are strong and weak. We collectively refer to those souls as "Loa", which are also gods." Zul'ra saw Alonsus speak, put the food in his hand slightly, and swallowed the food to explain.
"What is the connection between you and those Loa?" Alonsus is very interested in theology.
"We have had a relationship with those Loa since ancient times. We worship the gods, and the gods give us guidance and help. The priests are the key to our connection with Loa. Through the priests, the gods will also teach us how to survive. What the gods give us is just like what the Light gives you, unity, progress, and hope!" Zul'ra said it concisely.
"Great God, I hope you." Alonsus listened to Zul'ra's words and couldn't help but praise, and raised the copper cup with water in his hand.
"Hopefully." See Alonsus raising a glass, Zul'ra and Sabra, and Tirion, Jaina and Arthas could only put down the food and raise the cup. Unlike the water in Alonsus's cup, what they had in their cup was wild wine, which was a bit sweet. This was probably the strongest drink in Ascetic Monastery.
"Elder Alonsus, you are the Archbishop of mankind. Can you tell me about the Light that you know? As far as I know, you also know a lot about the Light., just like the tribes in our Trolls that worship different gods." Zul'ra saw Alonsus toasting and cheering, and also asked about the Light.
The Light belief has spread among humans, Dwarves, Elves, and even the Gnomes ethnic group. The spread of such beliefs inevitably leads to some differences. These differences have led to the birth of major schools, such as Nobility Faction, Commoner Faction, Forgotten Shadow, etc.
Some Nobility Faction even think that Dwarves, Elves and Gnomes are not worthy of belief in the Light at all, even if they do not hold this idea They are also opposed to rejecting the alien belief the Light from the bottom of their hearts. This idea is not yet visible, but this view is the main reason for the split between Scarlet Crusade and Argent Dawn in later generations.
"For us, the Light contains too much meaning. I regard him as faith and spend my life teaching everyone to know him. He is sacred and noble and is everywhere. For farmers, he is the beauty of hard work. For soldiers, he is the hope of defending their homeland. For leaders, he is the power to protect the people..."
With the cadence of Alonsus's voice, Jaina, Tirion, Arthas and Sabra all had to put down the food in their hands, and then sat upright, listening to the Archbishop's teachings.
"He means so much that even though I have spent my whole life teaching everyone that I know him, it still feels like it is not enough." Alonsus couldn't help but sigh at the end.
"I admire your profound wisdom." Zul'ra looked at the sighing Alonsus and couldn't help but say, this old man really treats the Light as a religious believer and has found the meaning of the Light's existence. Moreover, based on his deeds, knowledge and mind, he is enough to be canonized. He is a real saint, not a joke.
"Thank you for your compliments. Why did everyone stop and hurry up to eat. I have said too much. As I get older, I can't help but feel regretful." Alonsus listened to Zul'ra's sincere admiration and couldn't help but smile. Then watching everyone stop eating, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's enjoy the delicious food first and then chat later!" Zul'ra looked at the somewhat embarrassed Alonsus and couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I agree with this sentence." Alonsus tore open a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while smiling.
Faced with Alonsus's unimpressive movements, Zul'ra also let go. He sandwiched the vegetables and meat steaks between the bread and started to take a big bite. After eating two pieces to fill his stomach, he expressed that he was full. on the side Tirion, Arthas and Sabra were still devouring their food, while Jaina and Alonsus were already full due to their gender and age respectively.
With the leftovers on the dinner table, Zul'ra and Alonsus briefly discussed some theology, just like the existence of the Light, Alonsus proposed the Light is called by people, and the source of the calling is human nature, Val'kyr, salvation, sacraments and asceticism. Zul'ra did not object to this, but he made a summary.
"Whether it is precepts, prayer, or asceticism, they are all practical actions of faith, and these practical actions are based on the determination of faith and the understanding of faith. If believers want to achieve success, they must go through the four processes of faith, interpretation, practice, and certification." Zul'ra said, the faith, interpretation, and practice certification of Buddhism can be applied to any religion.
"Yes, that's right. Because of this, in the process of practicing the certificate, we must always confirm and understand our beliefs to improve and strengthen them. Tirion, Arthas, and Sabra, you must do the same." Alonsus agreed very much, and reminded his apprentices to improve and strengthen their beliefs.
"Yes, Father." Sabra, Arthas and Tirion, who had already eaten, quickly responded.
"Okay, I enjoyed my lunch today, by the way, Zul'ra Jin." Alonsus looked at the three guys facing him, nodded with satisfaction and wanted to stand up, but suddenly remembered and looked at Zul'ra.
"Do you remember when you wanted to return to Zul'Aman?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will leave today. Zul'Aman has some matters waiting for me..." Zul'ra looked at Alonsus who suddenly asked about the time of his departure. He gave the answer after thinking about it. Alonsus's question seemed coincidental, but it was actually a reminder to leave here as soon as possible.
"I understand, I understand, Arthas, you and Jaina help me deliver Zul'ra Jin, Sabra, you come with me for now, as for Tirion, you first go and take Uther to the chapel and wait for me." Alonsus nodded with a smile, and made arrangements while greeting Sabra. He really wanted to arrange for Zul'ra to leave, so as not to cause any accidents. If King of the Amani had an accident here, then Forest Trolls would definitely not give up.
First of all, I would like to thank Evil Moon Comet for the reward, thank you for your support, and then I would like to ask for favorites and recommendations. It's so miserable.
