LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 37 The Secret History of the Vastaya
There was silence in the air.

Ari's parents "proposed marriage" too directly, which made Josh a little at a loss.

Although Ari mentioned before that she is the only descendant of the Wasani tribe born in the past hundred years, but...

Josh didn't understand, are all the Vasani people so "straight ball"?

Ari is obviously very shy...

Elder Coulter saw the embarrassment of Josh and Ari, and immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Sit down, everyone please sit down first, this is more important, we have to take our time."

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

Josh is fine, just sit down, but Ari has a problem.

With tangled eyes wandering back and forth between Josh and the parents on the opposite side, Ari considered whether to move the chair to sit on the parents' side.

But when she caught a glimpse of her mother's half-smile, as if she was watching a joke, Ari pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and sat next to Josh.

Yarrow's face was slumped, and he looked unhappy, as if the Chinese cabbage that his family had grown for 20 years had been slammed by other people's pigs.

Lin has a good sense of Josh, especially knowing that he is a talented rune mage who can even be immune to the corruption of the Darkin, and defeated another Darkin who just woke up in time, so she is even more satisfied with Josh.

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

Of course, the premise is that Josh and Ari can be happy with each other, she doesn't want her daughter to marry a man she doesn't like.

However, judging from the current situation, this point should not need to be considered too much.

After a long silence, Kurt was the first to speak: "I don't know if Ari has mentioned to you, we Vasani have no offspring for a long time."

Josh glanced sideways at Ari, and seeing her affirmative look, he replied: "It is true."

"Well, the old man won't go into too much detail on this aspect, let's just explain the antecedents of the Vasani tribe's annihilation, and the results we have obtained through research."

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

titan wars...

A gleam flashed in Josh's eyes.

In fact, Elder Coulter didn't need to explain, he himself had a certain understanding of that war.

Thousands of years ago, a race of extraterrestrial giants invaded the First Lands, intending to conquer the planet, when Ionia was still a whole landmass.

In order to prevent the evil titan from destroying the world, some of the most spiritual among the ancient Ionians channeled the power of the spiritual realm into themselves, awakening the gift from the world.

They were the first people to evolve from "human" to "god", calling themselves Vasta Yashari - they are immortal shape-changers who can use the power of nature as their own weapons.

The battle was protracted, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as "the sky is falling apart". Even the continental plate of Ionia was also torn apart by the battle between Vastaya Xari and the Outer Titans, forming the current archipelago pattern.

In the end, those giant races lost to the spirit gods blessed by the power of the entire world, and were all beheaded.

Their bones have been crushed by the years and occasions, and their weapons and armor still remain on the battlefields of the past to this day.

And those powerful Vastaya Xari who have become gods "hid their achievements and fame" and did not want to be superior to others. After the Titan War ended, they returned to the human race and lived with them on an equal footing.

It's just that the appearance of the shape-changers has long been fundamentally changed by spiritual magic, and the offspring born from their union with humans are today's "half-orc" vastaya.

The secrets of vastaya told by Elder Coulter are consistent with what Josh himself knows, but there are more details on some of the content that Josh doesn't understand.

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip to moisten his lips and throat, Elder Coulter took a short break and continued:
"Times have changed and times have changed, and while most vastaya have forgotten that our common ancestors were actually humans, we, the knowledge-loving Vasani, are different, and we document that."

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

"I heard from Archbishop Margusa that you are very interested in the history of Runeterra, you can borrow this secret history of vastaya, and it will not be too late for you to be old again in the future."

Josh stretched out his hand and caressed the cover of the ancient book engraved with strange patterns, full of historical atmosphere, and thanked Kurt: "Thank you, Elder Kurt."

"You don't need to be too polite. Who wouldn't like a studious child? Hehehe..." Elder Kurt smiled kindly.

"Speaking of which, this book was discussed and written by the old man with an elemental mage scholar from Icacia 2000 years ago. I still remember that his name is Kieran.

"Sigh... what a pity, not long after he returned to Icacia, the Void War broke out."

Kieran? !
Josh heard another familiar name.

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

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

But that's not the point today.

[Icacia, Icacia... Unexpectedly, Blessed Light Island is also related to Icacia. 】Lunicia said almost through gritted teeth.

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

Josh really wanted to tell Lunicia that not all Icacias supported releasing the void, but after careful consideration, he decided not to.

Icacia's Void War was the main reason for the fall of the Shurima Empire. Hundreds of gods were swallowed by nothingness. Lunycia hated Icacia for granted.

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

Let's talk about it when the time comes, maybe Lunicia will change her mind.

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

"As for the conclusions that our Vasani people have researched..."

"Then let's talk about it." Yarrow answered, and his blue vertical pupils looked at Josh, "Because our vastayas are of the same line, we pay too much attention to the purity of blood, almost all of them are intermarriages , but until today, we have not found that this is a stupid approach."

Afterwards, Lin immediately added: "Our power is all inherited from Vasta Yashari, and for some unverifiable reason, the combination between them cannot produce offspring, but they can successfully produce offspring with humans.

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

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

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

Ali, who was very interested in listening to the history of vastaya, suddenly changed his expression, and his golden pupils were mixed with various complex emotions.

"I, am I not your own..."

"Ahem, why did you think of that?" Yarrow pouted helplessly, and explained: "Of course you are our own, but we used a little magic to modify your spirit...you were born , but only you were born successfully."

【Um?Still have this kind of operation? ] Even Lunicia was dumbfounded.

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

Speaking of this, Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, and there were faint tears in her eyes, and even her tone of voice was choked with sobs.

"You will become interested in the essence of human beings. 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't take any more."

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

Her nasal cavity was congested, and a drop of crystal slipped from Ari's cheek, "Why are you keeping such an important matter from me! Besides, you want me and Josh... Isn't this trying to hurt him?!"

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

Compared to the emotional Lin, Yarrow, who is more rational, said calmly: "That's why we want you to be with Josh... Do you think we haven't noticed that you have often slipped out to be with him recently? ?"

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

"Why do you think we didn't let you get in touch with ordinary people in Hailiya?" Yarrow said again, "Why didn't we stop you from staying with Josh?"

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

At this time, Kurt interjected: "Didn't you realize that when you were with Josh, did you ever have an appetite for his soul?"

Ali shook his head subconsciously.

Having been aroused by Kalista's emotions before, Ahri never thought of eating Josh's soul, but felt that he was deeply attracted by him.

"We originally wanted to teach you magic to suppress this instinct after your coming-of-age ceremony." Lin's choking feeling receded, and she said softly, "But now, we seem to have a better choice, and maybe we can solve our Vasani family issue."

The next moment, Kurt, Yarrow, and Lin focused on Josh at the same time.

Yarrow stood up and bowed deeply to Josh: "Please help little raccoon, help us!"
