Chapter 490: Sacrifice
At the end of June 2017, Earth time, Ionian. Province of Navoli. Outside Zanjia Village.
It's been a year since Ionia's nature spirit revived, and with its adjustments, the entire Newborn Lands has once again returned to the environment it had had before the war began.
Lush, colorful magical plants dot every corner of the land, and towering rocky peaks are accompanied by a clear mist that gives people an idea of what a fairyland is all about.
Clear air, simple folk customs, full of countless magical magical plants and creatures, for Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha couple, such a living environment is simply the best place for their son to spend his childhood.
It was another early morning, and in the place where Irelia practiced her usual dance, a small speaker with a solar-powered charger was playing a long tune sung by a clear female voice accompanied by an orchestra.
Irelia, still wearing her favorite pink gauze dress, began her daily dance practice again, and a knowing smile appeared on her face whenever her delicate face was facing one direction.
In that direction, a blond-haired woman was looking down at the baby in her arms with her eyes like golden lakes.
It was Galadriel, and the child sitting in her arms was also Xiao Kai, the son of Xiao Yuebai and Kesha.
The little one was staring at her big glasses and staring intently at Irelia's dance in the distance, whenever the pretty sister threw her glance and smile at herself.
Xiao Kai always smiled happily under his delicate nose, and raised his white and chubby hands to clap while clucking.
And on the other side of this grass, Queen Kaisha, dressed in a white gauze dress, is leaning on the shoulders of a man wearing the same milky white Hanfu.
The man is Xiao Yuebai, who returned from Shurima three days ago, and at this moment the couple is holding a teacup in their hands, leaning together next to each other, watching Irelia's dance and their son's happy smile.
"Xiao Kai seems to like his senior sister very much!" Holding the teacup in the palm of his hand, Keisha's big bright eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of essence, and said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Looking at his son in the distance, Xiao Yuebai's response seemed a little absent-minded.
Keisha also obviously felt the strangeness in her husband's heart, and she sat up straight with a little force, looked into her husband's eyes, and found a ray of sadness.
Raising her hand to cover her resolute cheek, the queen said faintly: "Yuebai, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, I'm fine!" Xiao Yuebai smiled and shook his head.
"Yuebai, we have been married for almost 100 years." Putting her forehead on her husband's forehead, the queen said gently:
"You also said that we already have a deep tacit understanding, so you can't fool me. After you came back from Shurima, you have something on your mind, can you talk about it? ”
Seeing that his wife had discovered his abnormality, Xiao Yuebai sighed, raised his hand and hugged the slender waist of the person in front of him tightly in his arms, and said faintly after a while:
"It's not a matter of heart, to be precise, it should be a kind of emotion!"
Seeing that her husband was willing to let go of his heart and tell him, Keisha's face immediately showed a look of "I'm ready", and said softly:
"What emotion, I'm listening."
Stretching out his fingers and fiddling with a small flower in front of him that glowed with light blue magic, Xiao Yue told Keisha the final story about Valmao and Kaye.
......
After Verus met Aatrox, and under his leadership, he met the last emperor of the Ancient Sun Empire, Azir who had completed his ascension.
Verus, who was extremely loyal to the Empire, felt relieved when he finally saw the empire he loved the most re-establish himself in the world after tens of thousands of years.
For the rest of the day, he talked a lot to Azil, Nasus, and Renekton as if he was ready to say goodbye to the world.
And that night, Aatrox accompanied him, and the two exchanged a lot together at the Ascendant Altar.
The end result is that the country he once loved the most has returned, and he himself has fallen into the Darkspawn tens of thousands of years ago.
Even now, the souls of two innocent Ionians have been implicated, so Verus, who has calmed down, decides to seal himself in the deepest part of his heart.
Then Valmao and Kaye took control of the broken body, and it was up to the two of them to decide what they wanted to do in the future.
So that night, after saying goodbye to Aatrox, Verus sealed the consciousness of his Darkspawn in the depths of his brain on the Ascendant Altar, no longer fighting with Valmao and Kaye for control of his body.
But for Valmao and Kaye, this day was also a witness to what Verus heard, said, and saw.
So they understood that the legends about the Ascended that Xiao Yuebai had said before were not false, and they had even met Talia, and when the Shurima girl who could manipulate rocks spoke fluent Navoli dialect, the two Ionians finally understood.
The city they are in now is an ancient empire with tens of thousands of years of history, and those strange-looking people are the guardians of this empire.
That night, Valmao and Kaye asked Aatrox a lot of questions, and the same-sex couple learned from the Ascended brother about what Verus was like and what he had done.
They saved the world tens of thousands of years ago, and now they will protect the empire to new glory.
Valmao and Kaye also realize that they are wrong, that Verus is not a demon, he is just a fallen ascendant, and he is also the guardian of a revitalized empire.
It's just that now this Guardian seems to have made a big mistake for some reason.
But who in life doesn't make mistakes? Both Valmao and Kaye understood this. It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's scary to see if the mistakes people make are worthy of forgiveness.
However, it is clear that although Verus has fallen into the Darkspawn, he has been sealed for thousands of years, so he can still be forgiven.
When early the next morning, Xiao Yuebai came to the Ascendant Square, about to unlock the seal of Verus's Dark Spawn, and saw a strange picture.
Azir stood under the altar with the Ascended Ones and Taliya, looking anxiously at the altar above them.
Verus, on the other hand, stood alone on the altar, as if he was schizophrenic, talking to himself incessantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai came to Aatrox's side with a puzzled face, pointed to the altar in confusion and asked, "What is the situation?" ”
Aatrox sighed when he heard this, and then said faintly: "The three souls in one body are all good people. ”
"Viruas felt that he was persecuting two innocent people, that he was a guilty man, and that he wanted to give control of his future body to the two Ionians."
"The two Ionians thought the opposite, and they felt that Viruas was a true unsung hero, despite the wrongdoings of his own before."
"But after all, they were also punished, and the two of them felt that they should sacrifice themselves to fulfill Viruas."
Xiao Yuebai blinked when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "This is... What's the operation? ”
