Requirements
"... Do you have any good suggestions?" Seeing M'uru Zul'ra didn't say much, Muru asked after a moment of silence. 🎅💘 ✌🐚
"A good suggestion?" Zul'ra raised her eyes slightly to consider when M'uru asked her for advice.
"Yes, I want to trouble you to resolve my current predicament. I want to communicate with the Sin'dorei, and try..." M'uru hesitated, unsure whether to use the word "redemption" again, because, given the circumstances, only the Sin'dorei could redeem themselves.
"Why don't you try Consecration a sacrifice?" Zul'ra asked teasingly.
"As far as the Sin'dorei are concerned, I don't seem to need to go that far!" M'uru's tone was strange; he suddenly realized how ridiculous the choices he had made for the tiny bit of fate he had foreseen.
"..." Zul'ra couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. Even selfless creatures like the Naaru were afraid of death.
"I'm willing to sacrifice myself if necessary, but not now." M'uru vaguely sensed Zul'ra's thoughts and tried to defend himself, but for some reason, a strange feeling rose in his heart. He was perfectly honest, but why did his words feel a little off?
"I can help you communicate with the Sin'dorei, but I also have a somewhat immature suggestion?" Zul'ra could also vaguely sense the awkwardness between M'uru's nature and personality, so she made up her mind after thinking for a moment.
"Why isn't it mature?" M'uru asked.
"Because this suggestion, in your view, is not so ideal," Zul'ra offered a brief description.
"Could you give me specific advice?" M'uru couldn't understand Zul'ra's words and asked him to elaborate on his suggestions.
"Don't preach the Light to the Sin'dorei, I mean religiously, don't let them develop a belief in the Light," Zul'ra advised.
"I think you may have some misunderstanding about the Light. The Light is pure and selfless, and does not need the faith of others!" M'uru's voice was very cheerful as he enthusiastically explained to Zul'ra. Selflessness and unconditional trust in the Light were in his nature.
"I know that, but I still want to make this request." Zul'ra did not refute M'uru. The Light truly did not need the faith of others, and he thought so too. However, after his contact with Naaru today, he felt it necessary to limit the faith in the Light.
"My race and the Sin'dorei have completely different customs, but in essence, we are of the same lineage. Therefore, I want to bring back the faith that belongs to our race to them. Therefore, I do not want the faith of the Light to appear." Zul'ra explained her request after thinking for a moment.
"Do you reject the Light?" M'uru asked with slight curiosity. He sensed the power of the Light emanating from Zul'ra, but why would she make such a request?
"We also use the Light, but we interpret the Light differently." Zul'ra didn't answer directly. He wasn't actually averse to the Light, but for some reason, after seeing the Naaru, he had some doubts.
What kind of explanation?
"In general, the Light originates from the light of the sun, moon, and stars. It is selfless in illuminating all the worlds. The Light is neither a master nor a slave," Zul'ra explained.
"This explanation perfectly aligns with the Light." M'uru replied without hesitation. In his understanding, the Light was pure and selfless, neither a master nor a slave, which was no different from this explanation.
"But in some respects, the political implications are different, so I don't want the faith in the Light to spread among the Sin'dorei. They should accept the same interpretation as my race." Zul'ra shook her head.
"It's all the same anyway, so I agree." M'uru, true to his selfless nature, agreed to Zul'ra's request.
"Then it's settled." Zul'ra grinned. Overall, M'uru was a very easy guy to get along with.
"Oh, right, M'uru, I also have something I'd like to ask for your help with. Could you teach me some of your skills and knowledge about the Light?" Zul'ra suddenly remembered something; he wanted to learn some the Light skills and knowledge from Naaru.
"No problem, it is my mission. The Light is selfless and will be open to all who receive it." M'uru agreed without hesitation.
"That's good... Is there anything you need me to do?" Seeing that M'uru didn't refuse, Zul'ra couldn't help but grin. At the same time, he tried to ask back, feeling that he could do something for the other person, and that the other person should also have some needs!
"I am growing weaker day by day. If possible, I hope you can help me find some sacred items to aid my recovery." M'uru's reply echoed Zul'ra's feelings.
"Is the water from my clan's Sacred Pool suitable?" Zul'ra thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely, anything sacred from nature will do, whatever it may be!" M'uru blinked slightly; he had only one requirement: the object must be sacred.
"I'll help you soon, now I'm going out!" Zul'ra affirmed M'uru's request, then said goodbye. In a flash, she left the space she was in and returned to her body.
In the quiet basement, M'uru's body continued to spin and rotate above. Zul'ra opened her eyes, stood up, and then turned to walk towards Liadrin and the others who were coming to greet her.
"Zul'ra Jin, you and..." Liadrin looked at Zul'ra as he stood up and couldn't help but come forward to greet him, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Yes, I've finished speaking with him, and M'uru also wants to have some conversations with you." Zul'ra nodded to Liadrin, gesturing towards M'uru's figure.
"He wants to talk to us..." Faced with Zul'ra's words, not only Liadrin, but also the Elves beside her, such as Astalor and Tae'thelan, were surprised. They were also a little uneasy. The current situation undoubtedly confirmed that the Naaru was a living being, and their treatment of the Naaru was something they themselves dared not look at directly.
"Do you want to talk to him?" Zul'ra asked, noticing the strange looks on the Sin'dorei's faces.
"How are we supposed to talk to him?" Liadrin asked, looking at her silent companions.
"Through me!" Zul'ra replied. M'uru had tried to communicate with the Sin'dorei before, but had failed. One reason was that M'uru did not understand the language, and the other was that the Sin'dorei had a mental barrier that prevented them from communicating directly through their minds.
"You?" Liadrin was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, because of your past experiences, you have inner barriers that prevent you from communicating with him, but I can help you overcome these barriers." Zul'ra would certainly nod, as he could also take this opportunity to listen in and perhaps offer some explanations for the Light.
"How do I do that?" Liadrin blinked in surprise.
"It's simple. First, each of you chooses a representative, and then I will help you break down the barriers in your hearts and establish a connection with the Naaru." Zul'ra looked at everyone and made his arrangements.
To choose a representative, Liadrin turned to look at her companions, who were also looking at her. The group huddled together and began to whisper among themselves. In the end, Liadrin turned to face Zul'ra.
"Zul'ra Jin, let me do it!"
