Return of the King - Ostarion Arc
"When I wake up again, I wish I could see your crystal clear eyes."
The road back has not been easy, with the former friends who fought side by side becoming cold enemies who think I am doing such a rebellious thing because of the desire for power, while the Dire races who hide in the corners of the underworld are ecstatic that the eternal night tide of the Dire is finally coming.
Actually, you're all wrong.
Former Ostarionliu.
The Ostarion Empire has existed on this continent for nearly a hundred years, and compared to the short and ridiculous lifespan of mortals, this empire has indeed existed a little too long, and Ostarion the Great has created this miracle with his own hands, resisting the attacks of the northern Dire race again and again, and becoming a hero to humanity and other peaceful races.
But perhaps by creating too much killing, Ostarion the Great was cursed by the most powerful mage of the Dire, and this vicious curse did not affect the Emperor himself, but was inflicted on his descendants.
Ostalion the Great had only mortal blood in his veins, and while this made his achievements even more impressive, it was also a tragedy for his descendants, and every child of Ostarion the Great was cursed by Dire from birth and lived no more than two years old.
When Ostarion the Great and his beautiful Empress Teenda stood for the third time beside a coffin filled with white roses, the heartbroken Empress fainted in Ostarion the Great's arms.
The eternal absence of children's laughter in the lonely palace was an indescribable pain in the heart of Ostarion the Great, who would come alone to the grave of his three children when the long rainy season came, hold up black umbrellas for them, and say nothing, and if no one bothered him, he would stand until the day when the dry north wind blew the earth at the end of the rainy season.
Great and good people do not deserve to be treated so unjustly by fate. On this day, the great Zeus came to the silent palace of Ostarion.
"My dear old friend, why is the whole palace in a deep depression?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming today, and I didn't prepare for a grand welcome ceremony."
"Ostarion, do you and I still need those hypocritical and tedious etiquette?"
"Old friend, did you come to me for something? Truth be told, it's been a long time since I've been in armor to go into battle, but I'll be at the front of the line if I need to. ”
"No, old friend, you've given enough over the years, it's time for us to do something for you."
"I don't understand what you mean?"
Zeus smiled and opened his hand, a flash of lightning leaping in his hand.
Ostarion was all too familiar with the scene, and although Zeus was relegated to mortal status, much of his divine might had not been lost, and with his mastery of thunder and lightning, mortal Zeus became a nightmare for the Dire race.
Zeus slammed a bolt of lightning down on the ground, and an electric current filled with magic rolled around the smooth black stone floor like water dripping onto a rock.
Ostarion frowned slightly, and asked, "Old friend, what are you doing here?" Afraid of Dire eyeliner in my palace? ”
Zeus said seriously: "Don't be suspicious, old friend, there will be a guest coming next, and I will do this both to keep his whereabouts secret and for your own good." ”
Ostarion asked, "Who is this distinguished guest?" ”
"Hello, brave and honorable Emperor Ostarion, please don't mind my sudden visit." A loud voice sounded in the main hall, countless tiny energy light balls appeared in the open space around Zeus, fluctuating wildly, and then the space seemed to suddenly appear crack, and the energy light ball poured towards the center of the rift, and then countless flying light bands also came out from the crack, and in the center of the light band was a brilliant crystal sphere, or an eye full of pure energy.
Ostarion couldn't help but stand up, although they had never met, Ostarion recognized him at a glance, this ancient traveler who existed in all planes, and there were legends about him that were even older than the existence of the Radiant Continent.
"Old friend, you have brought me an incomparably distinguished guest." Ostarion bowed slightly to the guest, and continued, "What shall I call you?" I've heard a lot of legends about you, and in those planes, you have different names, which one should I use to express my reverence for you at this moment, whether it's the Holy Eye, the Elven Guardian, or the Exterminator who fears your enemies? ”
The guest's voice was warmly warm: "Ostarion the Great, please call me Io." ”
"Great Scholar Io, do you need my help in coming to my empire, and if so, please feel free to speak, it's my honor."
Io said, "No, Ostarion the Great, it's not me who needs help, it's you, you're the one who really needs help. ”
Ostarion smiled heartily, "Are you kidding, Scholar Io, is there anything I need to ask for help from this knowledgeable scholar of yours?" Could it be that you would like to tell me how to kill that guy in Dire once and for all? ”
"Ostarion, you are a brave and righteous man, you have built the vast Ostarion Empire, stationed on the front lines of the resistance to the Dire Tide, and you have brought peace and happiness to the people of Radiant over the years. You have given too much, but what God has given you is so unfair. ”
Ostarion's eyes fell, and he understood what Io was talking about. He raised his arm to stop Io from continuing, and said gloomily: "Great Io scholar, I know that you have experienced a lot of things, if you want to comfort me with rich life experience, you don't have to, I have already seen it, there will always be regrets in life, you see, I probably won't have a chance to attack the Dire Lair in my lifetime, so regrets are inevitable, I didn't take it to heart." ”
Io said: "The lack of a good heir to the vast Ostarion Empire is not only a pity for the Ostarion family, but also a loss for the Radiant Continent. ”
Ostarion sighed and said, "Scholar Io, I'm not just an ordinary person, don't worry about the Empire, warriors, he will always appear when he is needed. ”
Io moved forward, five orbs of light around him, and said, "However, a man with Ostarion's blood in his veins is the most suitable person. ”
Ostarion was a little unhappy, his tone gradually raised, didn't the Io scholar know his helplessness and pain in the matter of the heir, he already had three painful memories that he didn't want to look back, why did he want to mention it again.
"But what can I do?!"
"Don't be angry, Ostarion, I'm here today to help you." Io said calmly.
Ostarion froze in place, and said for a long time: "Scholar Io, I don't understand what you just said? ”
Io said, "Through Zeus's description, I have traveled through countless planes and scrolled through ancient books like a sea, and finally found the truth about the vicious curse that was placed on your child, and I have the confidence to break it. ”
If Io had the human form, Ostarion would have held on to his shoulders long ago.
"What you say is true." Ostarion couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes."
Io explained, "This curse is so weak that it cannot be found and purified with spells, and it cannot be inflicted on you because you are too powerful. But your heirs cannot, they don't have the power of you, and the curse consumes their lives all the time. ”
Ostarion's eyes moistened at the thought of the painful expressions of his three children before they died, he possessed the ability to fight the most powerful demons of the Dire, but he could not do anything about the children's pain, as a father, he could not forgive himself.
"Don't be sad, Ostarion, it's not your fault. In the ancient texts of a certain plane, I found the same record, the person who was cursed, and found a solution. ”
"How did he break the curse?" Ostarion asked nervously, deciding that he would do whatever it took for Io to say what he wanted.
"Plane travel can temporarily evade the tracking of the curse, and if you are lucky, the plane that descends does not support the dark magic rules of this curse, your child can grow up there safely."
Ostarion's eyes flickered.
Io smiled: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I will be his best teacher, teach him all what I have learned all my life, so that he has enough strength to suppress the curse on his own, maybe he can return to this plane when he enters the youth." ”
Ostarion was silent, his fists clenched, and he had never hesitated even in the face of the overwhelming army of Dire.
Zeus, who had been silent beside him, patted Ostarion on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you ask Teenda what she means?" I'm sure she'll give you the right advice. ”
"Maybe you're right." Ostarion sighed.
Women are really the most inscrutable creatures in the world, this law is not only limited to humans, elves, goblins, centaurs, and even trolls, when disaster strikes, the women of the race will always burst out with unimaginable strength and endurance.
Zeus, who likes to stain flowers and dye grass and was demoted to the mortal world by his wife, naturally has his unique understanding of women.
Empress Teenda, who had already experienced three injuries, did not hesitate to agree to Io's suggestion without any hesitation after receiving an affirmative answer from Io's scholar.
She took Ostarion's hand and said affectionately, "King, I know that you are in a difficult situation, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the same blow again. However, can you understand how much I want to leave you an heir, how much I want to see our child running in the sun, who is not afraid of the air, not afraid of wind and water, and who is as happy and healthy as other children. After so many years with you, I have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, eaten the most delicious food, and stayed with the man I love the most, I shouldn't have been greedy. But I can't bear to watch you stand in the cemetery holding umbrellas for children throughout the long rainy season. ”
Teynda's tears were heartbreaking, dripping heavily on the smooth ground and smashing on Ostarion's heart.
"Scholar Io, please use your supreme magic and vast knowledge to help our husband and wife."
The haughty Ostarion fell to his knees, and now he was no longer the Emperor Ostarion who terrified the Dire race.
He is just an ordinary father.
