Chapter 37 The Secret History of Vastaya

Silence fell in the air.

Ali's parents "proposed marriage" too directly, leaving Josh a little confused as to what to do.

Although Ah Li had mentioned before that she was the only descendant of the Wasani tribe born in the past hundred years, but...

Josh doesn't understand, are all the Wasani people so "straight ball"?

Obviously Ahri is still very shy...

Elder Kurt saw the embarrassment of Josh and Ahri, and immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Sit down, everyone, please take a seat first. This matter is more important, we have to take our time."

The stone chairs in the living room were just big enough to sit on. Yaro and Lin sat back in their original positions, Elder Kurt sat alone on the side, and the remaining two chairs were placed opposite Ahri's parents.

Josh was fine, he could just sit down, but Ahri was in trouble.

With tangled eyes darting back and forth between Josh and his parents opposite, Ahri considered whether to move a chair and sit next to his parents.

But when she caught a glimpse of her mother's half-smiling expression, as if she was looking at a joke, Ahri pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and sat down next to Josh.

Elder Kurt lowered his eyes and sighed, "This actually has to start with the Titan War in ancient times."

[Icathea, Icathea... I didn’t expect that Blessed Light Island is also related to Icathea.] Lunessia said almost through gritted teeth.

That battle lasted so long that it would be no exaggeration to describe it as "earth shattering". Even the continental plate of Ionia was torn apart along with the battle between Vastaya Xari and the Outer Titans, forming the current archipelago structure.

If his daughter could combine with such a gifted human being, the offspring would most likely save the Vasani tribe from extinction.

"Moreover, this approach has also led to some adverse consequences."

However, the appearance of the shapechangers has long been fundamentally changed by spiritual magic, and the offspring born from their union with humans are today's "half-orcs" vastayas.

In the end, those giant races were defeated by the spiritual gods blessed by the power of the entire world, and were all killed.

Josh wanted to tell Lunessia that not all Icathians supported the release of the void, but after careful consideration he gave up.

Of course, the premise is that Qiao Xi and Ah Li can be happy with each other. She doesn't want her daughter to marry a man she doesn't like.

Thousands of years ago, a group of extraterrestrial giants invaded the First Land with the intention of conquering the planet. At that time, Ionia was still a complete landmass.

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and the grievance that had been brewing was directly replaced by panic, "This..."

[Huh? Is there such an operation?] Even Lunessia was confused.

Josh doesn't want to be a "reasonable guest".

At this point, Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, with tears filling them, and even her tone of voice was choked with sobs.

"No need to be polite, who wouldn't like a studious child? Hahaha..." Elder Kurt said with a kind smile.

Compared to the emotional Lin, Yaro, who is more rational, said calmly: "That's why we hope you can be with Josh... Do you think we haven't noticed that you have been sneaking out to be with him recently?

?”

Ahri's face turned pale and he stood up from the chair. He subconsciously glanced at Josh next to him, "You mean, I might eat Josh at any time?!"

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip to moisten his lips and throat, Elder Coulter rested for a moment and continued:

"Times have changed and changes have occurred. Although most Vastaya have forgotten that our common ancestors are actually humans, we, the Vasani, who are keen on knowledge, are different. We will record this."

Let's talk about it then, maybe Runesia will change her mind.

"Alas... What a pity. Not long after he returned to Icathia, the Void War broke out."

Their bones were destroyed by time and circumstance, but their weapons and armor still remain on the battlefields of the past to this day.

Her nasal cavity was clogged, and a drop of crystal slipped from Ah Li's cheek, "Why do you hide such an important thing from me! Moreover, you also want me and Josh...don't you want to harm him?!"

"I, am I not your biological child..."

The secrets of Vastaya told by Elder Kurt are consistent with what Josh himself knows, but there are more details on some content that Josh does not understand.

Lin's words stopped abruptly and she looked at Ahri with concern.

Lin had a good feeling about Josh, especially knowing that he was an extremely talented rune mage who was even immune to the corruption of darkin, and defeated another newly awakened darkin in time, so she was even more satisfied with Josh.

"Well, I won't go into too much detail on this aspect. Let's just explain the reasons for the discontinuation of the Vasani tribe and the results we obtained through research."

"Speaking of which, this book was discussed and written by the old man two thousand years ago with an elemental mage scholar from Icathia. The old man still remembers that his name was Jilan.

Later, Lin immediately added: "All of our powers are inherited from Vasta Yashaari, and for some unverifiable reason, the union between them cannot produce offspring, but they can successfully produce offspring with humans.

"Just like we can't know that ancestors can't combine to produce offspring, we can't study the root cause of Vasani's extinction, but studying history and combining experiments..."

When the Icathians released the Void, Kieran took in many refugees in his tower, and finally used time magic that he could not master to erase himself and the entire tower from the timeline, trapping him in the cracks of time.

"Ali." Josh grabbed her cold hand, "Calm down first, your parents haven't finished talking yet."

"Why do you think we didn't let you have contact with ordinary people in Hylia?" Yaro said again, "Why didn't we stop you from staying with Josh?"

However, those powerful Vasta Yashayari who have become gods "hide their merit and fame" and do not want to be superior to others. After the Titan War, they returned to humans and lived with them as equals.

"Ahem, why did you think of that?" Yaro curled his lips helplessly and explained: "Of course you are our biological child, but we used a little magic to modify your soul... You were born

, but only you were born successfully."

Ahri fell into silence and sat back on the chair, but with a slight force, he grabbed Josh's hand and never let go.

However, judging from the current situation, there should be no need to think too much about this.

After a long silence, Kurt was the first to speak: "I wonder if Ahri has mentioned to you that we, Vasani, have had no descendants for a long time."

They were the first people to evolve from "humans" into "gods", calling themselves Vasta Yashaari - they were immortal shapechangers who could use the power of nature as their weapons.

A glint flashed in Josh's eyes.

Just as he was talking, Kurt waved to Ahri's father, Yarrow. He stood up with a serious face, took a heavy classic from the study room next door, and placed it in front of Josh.

At this time, Kurt intervened: "Didn't you realize that when you were staying with Josh, you had an appetite for his soul?"

Kieran?!

Josh heard another familiar name.

Titan war...

After telling the history and origin of Vastaya, Elder Kurt exhaled heavily and turned his attention to Ahri's parents.

The Void War in Icathia was the main reason for the decline of the Shurima Empire. Hundreds of gods were swallowed by the void. It is natural for Lunessia to hate Icathia.

"You will become interested in human souls. If it is serious, you will long for their souls, be attached to their complex emotions, and feed on them. Then you will feel that ordinary food tastes like chewing gum and you can no longer consume any more."

In fact, there is no need for Elder Coulter to explain, he himself has a certain understanding of that war.

Yaro had a slumped face and looked unhappy, as if the Chinese cabbage he had been growing at home for 20 years was lost to someone else's pig.

According to Kurt, this Kieran is really the "Guardian of Time" he knew.

Ahri shook his head subconsciously.

"As for the conclusions drawn by our Vasani tribe's research..."

"Then let's talk." Yaro continued, looking at Josh with his blue vertical pupils, "Because we Vastayans are from one lineage and pay too much attention to the purity of bloodline, almost all of them marry within the tribe.

, but until today, we discovered that this was a foolish approach."

Ahri, who had been listening to the history of Vastaya and was very interested in it, suddenly changed his expression, and his golden eyes were filled with various complex emotions.

In order to prevent the evil Titan from destroying the world, a group of the most spiritual people among the ancient Ionians channeled the power of the spiritual realm into themselves and awakened the gifts from the world.

But that's not the focus of today.

[The first thing I will do after lifting the seal is to flatten and destroy this city and this island, and use blood as a sacrifice for my lost robes!]

"I heard from Archbishop Malgusa that you are very interested in the history of Runeterra. You can borrow this Vastaya Secret History and return it to you in the future."

Josh glanced sideways at Ahri and saw her affirmative look before replying: "It is true."

After hesitating for a long time, she continued: "Actually, Ahri was created by us using magic and borrowing the structure of some human etheric spirits."

Josh reached out and caressed the cover of the book, which was engraved with strange patterns and full of historical flavor, and thanked Kurt: "Thank you, Elder Kurt."

Previously, Ahri had been aroused by Kalista's emotions and had never thought about eating Josh's soul. She just felt that she was deeply attracted to him.

"We originally wanted to wait until your coming-of-age ceremony to teach you magic to suppress this instinct." Lin's choking feeling subsided and she whispered, "But now, we seem to have a better choice, and maybe we can also solve our Vasani

ethnic issues.”

The next moment, Kurt, Yaro and Lin all focused their attention on Josh.

Yaro stood up and bowed deeply to Josh: "Please help Xiaoli, help us!"
