Chapter 8 Threats and Protocols
"It's a long story, and you won't be able to explain it clearly for a while, are you sure you want to listen to it?" Josh smiled and looked at Ahri.
"Well, it probably won't work tonight."
Ahri put down the teacup and looked at the living room window a little nervously.
Her parents and her people had been manipulating the Golem into the forest for a few minutes, and Ahri didn't know how long it would take to place the Golem, but the safest option now was to go home.
Putting down the teacup, Ahri hurriedly got up and bowed to Josh again, "Thank you for the tea, I think I should go back." โ
"Do I look that old?"
Josh's words stunned Ahri, "Huh? โ
"I just had a coming-of-age ceremony last year, and I'm only 19 years old now, so I guess we're close in age, right?"
Through the books he had read in the past and his own notes, Josh had learned that mentioning the age of a girl was also a bad thing to do in Runeterra.
But for the long-lived Vastayas, this is understandable.
After all, if nothing else, they often live for thousands of years, and most of them can't tell their age by their appearance, so asking directly is the best choice.
Ahri bowed his head slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "In half a year, I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony~~ However, the coming-of-age ceremony of our Vasani tribe is not the same as that of you humans, and it is 20 years old, which is one of the most important ceremonies in the life of every Vasani." โ
She pondered for two seconds, "What if...... I mean, if, you want, I can invite you to my bar mitzvah. โ
After all, you're the only peer I know.
Ahri added in his mind.
Josh bowed gentlemanly, "How could I refuse an invitation from a beautiful lady like you?" โ
Under the blue and white magic light, Ahri's golden eyes blinked lightly, and the smile on her cherry red lips was even more touching, and she was very satisfied with Josh's answer.
But soon, the smile on her face was replaced by nervousness and melancholy, "It's not too early, I have to go back quickly!" โ
Josh sent Ahri to the door, she put her hood back on, and as if she had thought of something as she stepped out of the room, she looked back at Josh.
"By the way, you haven't told me your story yet...... Perhaps, I will come back to you in the next few days~~"
With that, Ahri winked at Josh and waved goodbye.
Seeing her figure disappear into the night, Lunixia's laughing voice appeared in Josh's mind at an inopportune time: [I seem to hear someone's regretful cry~~ Tell me the truth Josh, I think this little fox is about to hook your soul, why did you refuse my proposal? ใ
The smile on Josh's face quickly retracted and became expressionless.
With a deep breath, the cold air of the night was pumped into his lungs, Josh reinvigorated, and the little sleepiness that was left completely subsided.
"Have you completely forgotten your human emotions, Lunihia?"
[I am the Darkborn, the great Celestial Warrior, why do I need the affection of an inferior race like you humans? Runitia's tone grew cold, and she chuckled darkly.
Josh shook his head and chuckled, "Don't change the subject, Lunihia, answer me, how long have you not been loved?" โ
What do you mean by that? ใ
Josh felt a tingle in his right arm, and even though the Dance of Death turned into a pendant and wore it around his neck, Runicia was still only able to affect his right arm, which had been corrupted by blood magic.
"I know the ills of Ascension, Lunihia, your flesh has been reshaped into immortal Ascension by the power of the Astral Plane, but your soul is still a mortal soul, and the mismatch between the inner and outer causes you to lose some of your human emotions when you ascend.
"After the Void War, your spirit suffered a heavy blow, and this lack of emotion became more and more severe, until the later War of the Dark Descendants, and the ills of the human soul were completely revealed......"
Josh gritted his teeth and endured the pain, cold sweat soaking his shirt, but he still forced himself not to exhale in pain, and insisted on finishing his words.
"You claim to be the gods on high and loved by the people, and when the ugly and dark side of your heart is exposed, you see humanity as a lowly ant to be slaughtered by you.
"However, you are just lowly ants who have gained power that does not belong to you, and you use it to show off your power, and your essence is no different from that of humans, or even inferior to them."
Runitia was silent, but the constant sharp pain in her right arm was already representative of her current mood.
"Since you don't understand human emotions, Lunixia, why do you have to meddle with my communication with other people?"
ใI ......ใ
Josh didn't give Lunicia a chance to speak, and forcibly interrupted her:
"You should know that you can't occupy my body by any means, and if I'm willing to give up my right arm, at least it won't be a problem to leave you.
"Without me, you just can't even break free from the cage of weapons, you can't sense the trapped beasts in the outside world, as long as you are sealed in a place where there is no life or magic, your blood magic is useless.
"Besides, since you are sealed on Fuguang Island, you should know very well what is here."
Josh sneered, "The water of life, as long as there is still a breath left, it can heal any injury, even if it is a severed limb regeneration.
"So, the initiative now lies with me, not you."
As the sharp pain in his right hand subsided, Josh's slightly distorted face finally returned to calm.
After so many days together, Josh realizes that Lunicia doesn't know Fukumitsu Island.
With a slight advantage in intelligence, he finally stopped looking so passive in front of Lunicia.
[Hehehe...... Josh, Josh, I said you were special, really, but I didn't think you had so many secrets...... Are you really amnesia? ใ
Runicia smiled, but her words were filled with a coldness that bordered on death.
"This is the opinion of the benevolent, the wise of the wise." Josh replied lightly.
There was silence for more than ten seconds before Lunicia spoke again:
[Yes, you're right, I really don't have the initiative, but if you're really willing to give up your right arm to seal me, it's nothing more than self-destruction of your future. ใ
[You don't really think that those high-ranking people who are vain and wrongful will use the water of life for you, do you? Come to think of it, Josh, why is there no mention of the water of life in the books you read? Do you still have people in your notes who are old, sick and dying? They're hiding the secret. ใ
[As long as you cut off your right arm, the Shining Light Tower will no longer pay attention to you, your magical talent will no longer work, and the fox ......]
[Do you really think that the Vastaya who was only interested in you just now would spend a paltry 'hour' of his life paying attention to a fleeting cripple of you?] ใ
[Not to mention that the Vastaya people basically don't intermarry with humans, even if she and her people are willing, how can you match her?] ใ
Josh held the dance of death and said indifferently: "Whether you are worthy or not depends on your own earnings, Lunicia, I think I have this capital...... Don't you want to look for a way to break the seal? โ
Lunicia easily heard Josh's voice, and her emotions were suddenly excited: [Do you have a solution to the seal?!] ใ
"I don't, but that doesn't mean we can't find it." Josh said confidently, "Besides, I already have a direction...... Well, only I know. โ
Due to the rebellion of the Darkspawn, the last Twilight Star Spirit host, Maisha, used the Crossblade Charikar that they had given to the Ascended Queen Setaka to induce the power of the sun and moon to seal the Darkspawn and teach the humans this method.
If Calikar and Zoe, the current more accessible Twilight Star Host, are found again, it shouldn't be a big problem to break the Darkspawn's seal.
Closing the door and returning to the house, Josh made his way to the bedroom and said to Lunihia, "I think I can start my practical training in arcane magic tomorrow, it's a matter of the two of us, I hope you don't think about it." โ
[So...... A deal? ใ
"The deal is reached."
