The Elder Wildmane mentioned by Tamra, whose full name is Gurda·Manmane, is an older woman Tauren. According to what Tamra said, Gurda was not in the village during this time and should have gone to the south. Kodo Graveyard, Tauren Shaman can communicate with the soul of the dead Kodo. Through communication with the souls of these beasts, Tauren can learn about the environmental changes of Desolace in time to facilitate finding the next settlement.
Because of Desolace's poor environment, Tauren cannot live in one place for a long time and can only change places every once in a while. This is why Tamra wanted to ask "Earth Mother" for news about his compatriots.
As for the so-called Kodo Graveyard, it is roughly similar to the legendary elephant cemetery in Aaron's hometown. The old and dying Kodo will come to this land alone at the last moment of his life until he dies here. Unlike the almost legendary elephant cemetery, Kodo Graveyard is real.
Under the leadership of Tamra, Aaron met Gurda·Man Mane, the experienced Tauren in an area covered with the bones of Kodo is sitting cross-legged on the ground at the moment. There is a crude plate in front of her. A strange white smoke is emitting from the plate. The white smoke forms a miniature Kodo in mid-air, which looks lifelike.
"Elder Wildmane is communicating with the soul of Kodo, please wait a moment." Tamra motioned Aaron to stop, pointed at Gurda and whispered.
Aaron said that this was no problem. He happened to be very interested in the weird rituals of Shaman, so he waited quietly for Gurda to complete the ceremony. However, from the perspective of Aaron, the image of Kodo formed by the white smoke just floated silently in front of Gurda. He didn't know what one person and one beast said.
After a while, the white smoke slowly dissipated, and Gurda also opened his eyes in time. It seemed that Shaman had already known about Aaron's arrival, and walked up to the three of them without hesitation after getting up.
After Tamra's introduction, Aaron asked Xal'atath to convey his intention. Gurda hesitated for a moment and then gave his own advice. "You can ask Uthek for help. I think he will be happy to cooperate with you."
"Who is Uthek? What's the relationship with Sethekk?" Aaron didn't expect that he would need to find someone step by step before entering Maraudon, but since the other party said this name, it should be really useful, so he asked Xal'atath to continue asking Gurda for news about Uthek.
Xal'atath quickly exchanged a few words with Tauren Language and Gurda. The expression on his face became more and more surprised. After the exchange, he said to Aaron with a rather strange expression, "Uthek is the wise man of Gelkis Horde, a role similar to a prophet."
"Gelkis?" When Aaron first heard this name, he thought it was talking about Gilneas, but he quickly realized what this Gelkis Horde is, "Let me go to Centaur to help me find a way to enter Maraudon? I have no grudge against this person, right?"
Maraudon is not only the sleeping place of Zaetar, the father of Centaur, but also the residence of Centaur's mother. Its status among Centaur can be imagined. Aaron doubted that if he went to talk to that Uthek about this matter, he would be hacked to death directly.
Xal'atath smiled. She had already asked Gurda to find out just now, and she was just explaining it to Aaron at this time.
Although Centaur comes from the same origin, after thousands of years of development, Centaur has evolved into four tribes. Among them, the Maraudine tribe is responsible for guarding Valley of Spears except Maraudon, and the remaining three Centaur Horde are the Kolkar tribe, Magram tribe and Gelkis tribe.
Due to Centaur's aggressive and fierce personality, the four Centaur tribes have accumulated deep hatred between each other, and they all wish that each other would perish as soon as possible.
Uthek was born in Gelkis Horde, which is located in the southwest of Desolace. This Horde has a relatively relaxed attitude towards outsiders, which means there is the possibility of communication.
What Gurda means is to ask Aaron to communicate with Uthek, so that the Gelkis tribe can help draw the attention of the Maraudine tribe, and Aaron can take the opportunity to enter Maraudon.
"Okay, it sounds somewhat feasible." Aaron lowered his head and pondered for a moment. If the facts are really as Gurda said, then this can also be said to be an idea. It is better than rushing over hastily and attracting blows from all Centaur, right?
"How should I make Uthek believe in me?" Aaron raised a question. Even if Gelkis Horde is relatively good, it is impossible for Aaron to make the other party let go of their wariness against him just by talking white teeth in the past, right?
"Well... I think you can make Uthek trust you by bringing a little greeting gift." Gurda showed a generous smile, "Centaur's brain is not about robbery but fighting. It's not difficult for them to trust you."
"What kind of meeting gift?" Aaron felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in Gurda's words, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Look, the meeting ceremony has arrived." Gurda raised the warhammer in his hand and pointed to the southeast - the old Shaman's weapon is a spherical warhammer. "With their help, Uthek will definitely be able to provide you with some help."
"Who?" Aaron heard this and squinted his eyes and looked in that direction. He only saw a puff of smoke rising over there, and underneath the smoke was a group of murderous Centaur.
Gurda pointed at those Centaur and said, "Those guys are Centaur of Magram Horde. If you can bring a few of Magram Centaur's heads, Uthek will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest."
Tauren is a peace-loving race and can get along well with many races, but this does not include Centaur.
Before Centaur had even approached, Gurda had already thrown several totem poles forward and landed firmly on the ground, but they didn't know what the effect would be.
The leader of the menacing Centaur team wielded a double-edged steel axe. From this, it can be seen that Centaur's life is much better than that of Tauren. Aaron has never seen a Tauren use such a sophisticated weapon in such a long time.
In an instant, Centaur rushed forward. Vereesa was the first to shoot an arrow and knock down Centaur who was rushing forward.
The Centaurs were shocked when they saw this scene. Even Charge slowed down. The two Centaurs on the flanks of the team also took out their bows and arrows and wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, Centaur is far behind High Elf in bow-making skills. The two Centaurs were knocked down one by one by Vereesa before they even had time to enter the effective range of their own bows.
At the same time, the remaining six Centaurs had already rushed forward. Aaron took two steps forward, holding a long sword in each hand. Using force on his feet, he spun around like a whirlwind and intercepted all five Centaurs.
