Jano the Shapeshifter knows.

This is a Vastaya who can switch back and forth between several animal characteristics, such as changing from a pig-headed man to a monkey-headed man, and one person can play the role of the westward traveling foursome, but compared to Niko's ability to change shapes, it is still far behind.

"The Vastaya are the descendants of the union of ancient humans and Vastaxiari, and Vastasyari are creatures in the spiritual realm who can change form freely, and their descendants often have a strong ability to change shapes." Akunir explained.

According to his explanation, the Vastaya are all a mixture of Vastasyari and humans, and the stronger the ability to change shapes, the stronger the Vastasya bloodline.

Like Xia Luo, who cannot change shape and retains some animal characteristics, the one with a low concentration of blood, and when the bloodline is diluted to a certain extent, even animal characteristics cannot be retained.

Nedri, for example, and Udir, for example, did not inherit any beastly traits, but only retained their wild instincts. The reason why they can change their form is because they are possessed by the spirit of the beast in the spiritual realm.

Speaking of which, Jeno was about to ask, "What kind of creature is this Vastaxiarui, and why can creatures in the spiritual realm come to the material realm and intersect with humans?" ”

"This is a secret of our kind, and I have told you here today, and if we hear this from other humans in the future, then the responsibility will be on your head."

Akunir let out a long sigh, hoping that Jeno would retreat.

But Jeno would not give up the truth that was so close at hand.

"I pledge with my life that I will never divulge even a single secret. Elder, you can speak. ”

"That's a long story." Akunir took a sip of tea and said slowly.

The origins of Vastaya can be traced back to antiquity, when there was a Void World War in the material realm.

A group of humans escape the war and travel to a paradise in Ionia, where they see an intelligent creature with strange shape-shifting abilities that resonate harmoniously with the world's magical energies.

This is Vastaxiari, who took in the fleeing humans, had a series of rich contacts with them, and eventually united with each other to give birth to the ancestors of the Vastaya people.

And to answer Jeno's question, you must first figure out what the spiritual realm is.

The spirit world is also called the spirit realm.

The material realm and the spiritual realm are two worlds that mirror each other, and the souls and minds of living beings in the material realm exist in the form of spiritual power in the spiritual realm. And when the spiritual power of the spiritual realm interacts with the material world, it produces the magic in our eyes.

The Shuoma that Niko sees is actually a projection of a person in the material realm in the spiritual realm, so she can feel other people's thoughts by touching other people's Shuoma.

And in some places, the two worlds are so close together that spiritual power seeps through and forms springs, which are considered by the caster to be full of magic. Spiritual power flows along a fixed trajectory, eventually forming rivers that form a network of magical power spread across the planet.

And Ionia is the largest spring of spiritual power, a large amount of spiritual power gushes from here, and magic is the first to blow out here, so Ionia is called the first land of birth by the world, and it is widely spread.

As creatures in the spiritual realm, Vastaxiarui naturally possessed the ability to transform after coming to the material realm through the spring, because their bodies were originally composed of magical power, and they were pure magical creatures, and their appearance was only an illusion visible to the naked eye.

The Vastayas, on the other hand, are half-human, half-spirit creatures, with the human part giving them a stable form, and the spirit part giving them the ability to change shapes to adapt to their environment and use magic. This also explains why the Vastaya people are very different from one individual to another, due to rapid evolution and environmental selection.

Therefore, the ancient Vastayas were born to change shapes, and they were born spellcasters, so the Vastayas of later generations recognized the strength of the bloodline by the strength of their ability to change shapes, and the Vastayas with strong bloodlines were immortal for thousands of years at every turn, and their lifespans were extremely long.

The peculiarity of the body structure leads to the Vastayas being inseparable from magic, because they have the blood of ordinary magical creatures in their bodies, so they need to live in places where the magic rivers are abundant, otherwise they will die of magic depletion, which is why there are few Vastayas in Demacia.

In addition, the reproduction of Vastayas also needs to take place in places where there is a lot of magic, otherwise their children will not be able to conceive due to lack of magic.

That's why Kasumi says magic is their life.

And as mentioned above, the spiritual power, or magic power, that flows from the spiritual realm to the material realm, all belong to the category of wild magic.

Pure humans cannot use this kind of magic directly, and the chaotic natural magic is wild and difficult to train, and it must be tamed with specific rituals, that is, oral cultivation methods, meditation and other behaviors, turning wild magic into obedient magic, so various sects were born.

Although Elder Akunir did not directly answer Jeno's question, he systematically explained the origin of Vastaya, giving Jeno a new understanding of Niko.

The Vastayas can intermarry with humans without restrictions, so the strong-blooded Niko can naturally give birth to excellent Vastaya offspring, which is undoubtedly a ray of hope for the prosperity of the race in the eyes of the thin-blooded elders.

"By the way, having said all this, I don't know which tribe Niko is from, and it must be extraordinary for a tribe that can give birth to such a high-concentration bloodline offspring."

The elder looked at Niko lovingly, if the Niko clan could intermarry with the real Vastaya, presumably the ability of the Vastayas would definitely rise to a higher level in a hundred years.

"Neeko is from the Misty Tails, but all of her people have died in a fire." Jano sighed.

"It's a pity." Akunir regretted everything.

He didn't know anything about the Fogtail Clan, and with such a powerful shape-changing ability, he couldn't recognize it even when he came to him, only to blame the Fogtail Clan's secrecy work was too good.

Although the long-standing confusion about Niko has finally been resolved, and Jeno even knows the truth about the source of the magic, the conflict between Shadowstream and Vastaya has not yet been resolved.

As for what Shadow Stream did, Jeno still had a little question that needed to be answered.

"Elder, why does Xia frequently talk about the shadow stream led by the robbery...... What about crossing the line? ”
