The first day in Duogu Village ended with music, laughter and Uncle Meng getting drunk.
The next day, despite the hangover headache, the adults finally talked about formal and serious topics.
...is also very lax.
In Vann's room, a shielding barrier was set up. Meng, still in fear, sat far away from the drunkard Derek.
Besides Vann and Derek, he, Sigourney, and Ash were the only ones in the room.
As for the others, some are unsociable like Quentin, while others lie in their coffins and refuse to come out.
Or they like the atmosphere of the village and plan to take a break to walk around the village, like Joshua. Brent naturally accompanies him, and Jane also follows silently, taking Xiao Jin with her.
As for Ivan and Yelena, they had integrated well into the young people of Duogu Village yesterday. Aubrey and the others called them away early in the morning. Well, it was actually only Yelena who was called away. Ivan preferred to follow Menglai. But as he watched his sister being surrounded by a group of vigorous boys and walking away, he, as a brother, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
No! You have to keep up!
The brother holding the stomach medicine thought firmly.
So only Sigourney and Ash followed Uncle Meng over to meet with Vann and Derek and sit down to have a detailed talk.
Meng first started with the history he was good at, first of all, the war between ancient wizards and magical creatures, which led to a sharp decline in the number of magical creatures, the formation of the Broken River Plain, and the world was divided into two. In order to enhance credibility, after obtaining Sigourney's consent, he also told the two about the existence of Red Iluf.
Vann and Derek were quite shocked.
Could it be that their Broken River Plains was separated from the continent of Iluf because of the magical creatures of ancient times who accidentally went astray and created an elemental storm?
Was that when the world was split in two?
White Ilufu with the pale moon, and red Ilufu with the scarlet moon?
Wait, the setting of the world being divided into two is itself incredible.
But Sigourney, who came from another world, was sitting right in front of them.
Derek thought in disbelief, Ash is so good, he has expanded his range of partners to another world. Fortunately, they can't have children, otherwise the child will be a world-class hybrid.
Speaking of mixed-race, he couldn't help but touch the fluffy ears on his head. They felt pretty good, but as a grown man with such a pair of ears, he was often stared at with eager eyes by women from all ages in the village recently. It seemed as if everyone wanted to touch and rub them. It felt very strange.
I heard before that they have the blood of magical creatures, so their bodies have acquired the characteristics of magical creatures.
At that time, I couldn’t understand why they had the blood of magical creatures since their ancestors seemed to have all looked like humans.
Isn't it said that humans and magical creatures are reproductively isolated and it's impossible for them to have offspring?
But now after listening to what Meng said, both Vann and Derek had vague guesses.
On the plains back then, there were armies of magical creatures, as well as the indigenous human inhabitants who had already existed on the plains.
When the world was split in two, most of the magical creatures and humans on the plains were forced into the other side.
But there are still a small number of magical creatures and humans who are lucky enough to remain on the plains.
At this time, the plain became a magic-forbidden area, and both humans and magical creatures lost most of their power.
They inevitably weaken and their lifespans continue to shorten.
The plain is surrounded by the "River of Elements", and they cannot leave the plain.
In such an environment, it is meaningless for both sides to fight to the death.
Humans and magical creatures were trapped on the plains, living together, even forming families, and multiplying from generation to generation...
As for how the mixed-blood was born - it was probably related to the forbidden magic environment.
In an environment without any magical elements, the blood of magical creatures lurks in the deepest part of the body. Perhaps it is because of this that such a peculiar physique of "both human and magical creature" was born on the Broken River Plain?
Meng also helped to figure it out, saying, "In the past, when magic was banned, you behaved like normal humans. Now that the magic elements are abundant again, the blood in your bodies sensed this, so it quietly revived and various abnormalities occurred."
Fann nodded, agreeing with Meng's statement.
Then he looked at Ash, who looked the same in appearance, and asked curiously, "What bloodline is Ash? Why can't I see any changes?"
Ash shook his head. He couldn't figure this out either. "I'm not alienated."
Logically speaking, his magical bloodline should be much stronger than that of the villagers, and he went to Iluf early, so he was more influenced by the magical elements. If his bloodline reverted to his ancestral form and became alienated, he should have been the first person to become alienated on the Broken River Plain.
But he was sure that no changes had occurred in his body.
Fan En was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
He subconsciously glanced at Derek, and saw Derek looking at him seriously.
The two exchanged glances and were silent for a while. Derek then spoke up, "Ash, there's something...we haven't told you yet."
Ash's heart skipped a beat, "What is it?"
Derek touched his nose nervously and looked at him cautiously: "When I was young, I picked up a child outside the village, right where the stone tower used to be. I brought him back to the village and temporarily gave him to Grandma Lena to take care of. Then the villagers asked around but couldn't find his parents, so they let the child settle down in our village. We named the child..."
"Ash Alwyn." Ash took over his last words.
Derek didn't expect Ash to be so calm after learning about his life experience, and he was stunned again.
Ash, on the other hand, smiled: "No matter if my parents died early for some reason, or I was picked up and brought back to the village... I am still a child of Duogu Village, and I have always been cared for and raised by everyone." The prerequisites are not important. What is important is that the sixteen years he has lived in Duogu Village will not change because of the truth of his life experience.
Fann couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, Ash is our Duogu Village kid! Hey, we are too concerned."
All the adults in the village kept it secret for so many years.
Derek exhaled and laughed happily: "Ash, you have loved running to the stone tower since you were a child, and you slept there every night. I was wondering at that time, do you still remember where I picked you up? Such a tiny guy, do you have any memory at that time?" He used his thumb and index finger to measure the length, trying to explain how small Ash was at the time.
Ash also suddenly realized why the adults in the village indulged him so much in running to the stone tower when he was a child.
Because the stone tower has a different meaning to him.
Fann looked at Meng seriously: "Look, there is no change in Ash, could this be the reason?"
Ash's actual origins are unknown, his parents are unknown, and he has never shown any abnormal changes. When you think about it, these two unknowns are very suspicious.
Meng groaned and said, "It's not impossible."
Ash is special - as one of the protagonists who saves the world, how could he not be special?
Meng told Vann and Derek about Dailan's prophecy, and of course, also explained why they came to Duogu Village.
After listening to it, Fann and Derek said: "..."
I just learned that the world was divided into two, and now I am immediately told that the two separated worlds are reluctant to part with each other and are about to merge again?
As a world, could we please not be so fickle?
If you want to merge, then merge. Why do you have to create a big scene of world collision, shattering and destruction?
When they merged, they destroyed the world... Tsk, I really don't know whether the two worlds love each other so much that they can't be separated, or they hate each other so much that they wish to die together.
The most outrageous thing is that the key to saving all this lies in Ash and his boyfriend?
Fall in love and save the world?
Even a three-year-old child in the village wouldn’t believe it.
Is this world going to be better?
There was no words to say for a moment. Vann and Derek were choked for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Look at them with sympathy. All the shock and confusion you are experiencing now are what I have experienced before. I understand you, really!
After a long while, Vann finally found his voice: "So, our village is what Mr. Merktor said... the place where everything started? Are you now waiting for the prophecy of the Radiant Throne and the Joint Astrology?"
Ash nodded.
After a pause, he said thoughtfully: "I want to go to the stone tower and take a look again."
Although the stone tower had weathered away the moment the Broken River Plain was completely opened, he still wanted to go and see it.
A voice in his heart was encouraging him to go forward.
