Chapter 36 When do you plan to hold the oath ceremony?

Vastayans are neither humans nor, like yordles, a purely magical species with eternal life.

Few people know where the Vastaya bloodline truly comes from. They only know that they all come from that ancient land of birth.

Even Hylia, who is committed to collecting knowledge from the world and protecting and passing it on, knows very little about what happened in the ancient times that cannot be verified.

It was not until the Vasani clan migrated to Blessed Island that they brought more secrets about the Vastaya people, and relevant records were entered into the library.

On Blessed Light Island, the Vasani people rarely interact with Hylia openly, and a considerable number of civilians do not know the existence of this Vastaya bloodline at all.

If he hadn't met Ahri, even if he had played the game Curse of Ruin, Josh would have almost never remembered that there is a Vastaya branch here - the Vasani tribe.

After actually arriving at the settlement of Vasani, Josh realized firsthand that they could almost be described as "deep-rooted" in Hylia.

The Vassani not only established their own secret vault underground in Hylia, they even had deep connections with the Bajru civilization rooted in the Serpent Islands, where Bilgewater would later be located.

The Vasani Secret Vault is parallel to Hylia's Thresh Prison and is located near the outskirts of the city. Most of the Vasani people also live here.

Margusa asked Ahri to take Josh to the Kurt clan leader, but this innocent little fox didn't seem to understand their intentions.

Along the way, Ali, who was not shy, seemed to have forgotten what he had done secretly today, chattering to Josh about the magnificent scenery of Vasani's secret vault.

Josh opened his mouth, already feeling that his pounding heart was about to jump out of his throat.

[Look at the Vastayans, look at you humans, this is the correct way to use magic!] Runesia shouted excitedly in Josh's mind.

"Um... Mom and Dad, this, this is my new good friend. His name is Josh Russell, a disciple of Tyrus and a disciple of Archbishop Margussa. You should have heard of him, right?"

Josh silently followed Ahri's steps and stood in front of the door that was engraved with geometric symmetrical figures, with no clear meaning.

Qiao Xi and Ah Li bowed and saluted at the same time.

At this time, Yaro also spoke again, but his tone was no longer as aggressive as it was against Josh just now, but instead contained a bit of tenderness that hurt his daughter.

【Oh, I didn’t expect that I would actually meet my parents this time?】

Josh didn't reply and followed the old man in front of him who had lived for an unknown number of years into the suite.

Yaro's voice returned to seriousness, and his eyes focused on Josh again: "So... when are you going to hold the oath ceremony with Xiaoli?"

Finally crossing a bridge made of pure magic, Josh and Ahri stopped in a magnificent hall. A double door that almost connected to the dome was facing the center of the bridge when they came from.

Not only his face, but also his voice looked serious, Yaro asked in a deep voice, as if Josh was not his daughter's friend, but his enemy.

Seeing Josh's nervousness, Lin explained from the side: "Don't pay too much attention to my husband's attitude. He likes to study things and is meticulous in dealing with others. This is the temper he has."

In contrast, Ahri's gentle mother is much softer, and her mannerisms reflect the vastaya's elegance.

Kurt smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be polite, please come in quickly."

The decoration of Kurt's suite is almost the same as that of Hylia's scholar's residence, except that he is the only one living here, and the rooms that were originally two bedrooms were transformed into a study and a magic laboratory.

"Then... we can't bring it up on this occasion, right?" Ah Li's red cheeks were like ripe peaches, with water oozing out of them with just a slight poke, "Clan Chief, doesn't the Clan Chief have something to do with Josh?

"

Josh's face looked a bit embarrassed. He was used to being reserved for a long time and was not quite used to today's life. He felt quite uncomfortable when the marriage issue was raised so boldly and directly.

Ah Li couldn't stand it anymore and pouted, "Dad, Josh is my friend, don't embarrass him too much."

After his brain short-circuited for two seconds, he replied: "Yes, yes."

"Ah? Do I want to come in too?" Ahri was startled, pointed at himself, and asked doubtfully, "Elder Kurt, didn't you say you wanted to see Josh?"

Ahri's father did not speak, but his mother smiled, gave Josh a reassuring look, and then turned to look at Ahri: "Xiaoli, why don't you introduce it to us?"

"...Can this be the same?"

"Elder Kurt."

"Xiao Li, you are about to hold your coming-of-age ceremony. It's time to consider this topic."

Although Malgusa's expression didn't look like he was going to accuse him, Josh still felt uneasy.

It was as if Josh was disrespecting him by not accepting his apology, giving him a feeling of deja vu as a gangster brother.

"Patriarch Kurt."

"Come in first, we will discuss it in detail later."

After saying this, she muttered to herself: [What a bunch of stuck-up idiots...disgusting humans? Do they not know that their ancestors were transformed from humans?]

"Hey, this progress is a bit too fast..."

[What is this? In Shurima, the girl you fall in love with on the first day can come to propose marriage the next day. If there are few relatives and friends and sufficient preparations are made, the wedding can be held within a week. 】

Kurt, who had been silently watching the show since he entered the house, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Hehehe... Actually, this is the issue we came to see you today to talk about."

However, Lunishia still felt strange when she said this, and reminded: [But I don’t recommend you to have high expectations. Vastayans rarely marry humans, and this is a ‘taboo’ in their eyes.]

Josh just replied casually. The pressure of reality prevented him from having a two-way conversation like before.

They are somewhat similar to Ahri, but they still have more animal features, mainly the white fur on their faces. They can be easily distinguished even without looking at the ears and tail.

Ahri's father looked solemn and looked at the young man next to his daughter with his sharp blue eyes.

But then, her emotions hit the bottom like a roller coaster: [Sigh... the last time I saw such a spectacular scene was when the Shurima Empire was still there. 】

"Our little raccoon hasn't even walked through the door yet, why does he start to face outsiders?"

He exuded an inexplicable aura, which made Josh a little breathless.

In the living room, in addition to Josh and Ah Li, there were two other Vasanis, one male and one female, sitting on stone chairs.

Ahri turned half sideways and looked at Josh with her moist golden eyes, "The suite of Patriarch Kurt is right in front."

Immediately afterwards, Ali, who was in a nervous mood, looked at Josh again and even spoke faster: "Josh, these two are my parents, Yaro and Lin. They are scholars from the Vasani Secret Treasury."

Josh's throat moved unconsciously, he swallowed, and said with some lack of confidence: "Mr. Yarrow, Ms. Lin... hello."

Ah Li raised her eyebrows, with a confused expression on her little face, "Ah? Are mom and dad here too?"

The two stood up from their chairs.

"I apologize if I made you nervous." Yaro said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, Xiaoli, your happiness is related to the survival of our entire Vasani tribe and the future of our tribe."

As soon as Lin's teasing words came out, the dumbfounded Ahri's cheeks suddenly turned red, her two little hands were twisted together, and her ears and tail were lowered along with her eyes as if she was shy.

"Mom! What did you say...why did the topic suddenly change to that aspect?"

Wearing the robe of an elder of the Light Blessed, Kurt, who looked more like a fox than a human, was standing at the door, looking at Josh and Ahri with smiling eyes.

And the fact is just as she said, the Vassani Secret Vault is far more magnificent and exquisite than the Thresh Prison. The excellent mortise and tenon technology supports the stone platforms rising from the abyss. The exquisite magic forms a detailed magic circuit.

, running through the entire underground space.

"What we are going to talk about today also has something to do with you... Oh, by the way, Archbishop Margusa didn't tell you, are your parents here too?"

"Are you Josh?"

"Dad, Mom." Seeing his parents, Ahri, who was following Josh, lowered his face subconsciously, looking a little timid.

[Look at your potential! Why were you so calm when communicating with Callista and others before, but now you can’t?] Lunessia said with a disgusted tone.

As if the arrival of the two people had been predicted, without Josh or Ah Li knocking on the door, with a muffled "boom", the door in front of him slowly opened.
