LOL: The days of cultivating immortality in Rune Continent

"Lux, I emphasize again that I really just washed my face last night. Wasn't it to save water?"

"Heh, you can just lie to yourself with this kind of words, but you want to lie to me? Am I a fool?"

Walking towards the top of the snowy mountain, Lux was dressed neatly, wearing a thick white cotton jacket with a small hat, gloves, and reluctantly put on yesterday's thick boots. This kind of clothing was made by the people of the Twin Cities for tourists going to Freljord. It is extremely warm, but it is not very breathable, so you will sweat.

For the temperature, Lux can only endure it!

Stretching out her hand, a trickle condensed from Lux's wrist into a water ball. Lux glared at Rowan: "Save water?"

"."

Fuck!

Rowen suddenly became embarrassed.

How could I forget this?

It is really too outrageous to use words like saving water to deceive Lux, a great elementalist, but when he thought about it, Rowan shook his head and laughed.

The reason why I forgot it was because I hadn't been alone with Lux for too long. You know, this is a little secret that Rowan and Lux ​​knew when they were 16 and 15 years old. At that time, Rowan didn't know how to use magic very well, and making water was like squeezing sweat from his hands.

Anyway, Rowan, who had thought it through, stepped forward and hugged Lux's shoulders, and climbed to the top of the mountain with her.

In fact, it is not difficult to go up if you want to, after all, you can just fly up, but Lux wants to climb the mountain.

The Targon Mountain has been a restricted area of ​​Demacia for a long time. Many exiled nobles and nobles who have made mistakes will choose to climb the Targon Mountain to atone for their sins. Therefore, Lux is naturally curious about this most special place in the Rune Land.

After having breakfast at Soraka in the early morning, by noon, Rowan and Lux ​​had climbed a long distance.

Rowan and Lux ​​are not ordinary people. Although the environment on Mount Targon is very bad, it is not difficult for Lux, a mage. After all, who says that mages must be weak and delicate? Lux is very healthy. If it weren't for her extraordinary magic talent and the awakening of magic at a young age, Lux would probably become a knight.

How could the children of the Crown Guard family not become knights? In addition to the magic protection and growing up in the harsh environment of Misilver City, it is not difficult for Lux to climb Mount Targon.

"After a distance, it is the most difficult part of Mount Targon to climb." Lux said to Rowan with a joyful expression on her face.

She likes the scenery of Mount Targon very much. Looking out, you can see everything. Looking up, you can see the flowing lights and colors. There is no one around, not even birds. The white snow reflects the starlight. This kind of scenery can only be seen on Mount Targon.

After walking for a while, Rowan looked up at a place and said to Lux, "Let's go up that way."

"Hey, this way doesn't go straight." Lux looked at the road and said.

"This is the place of the Sun Cult. Although we have contacts with the Sun Goddess, we will not contact those people if we can." Rowan said.

And Lux ​​nodded after listening. She understood what Rowan meant.

Reaching out and punching Rowan's waist, Lux said with a smile, "A bunch of annoying extreme believers?"

"Yes, the super extreme kind. They are no different from the Baru people in Bilgewater. This group of people only believe in the truth and their brains are completely abnormal."

Rowan said with a smile.

The Sun Cult is the same as the Baru Cult. They have extreme beliefs in the gods. That is, they do whatever the gods want them to do. They will even do what they think is right behind the gods' backs, and they don't ask the gods what they think when they do it.

If you say that the Sun Goddess is the reason why the Sun Sect and the Moon Sect have become what they are now, then Luo Wen doesn't believe it. Because after having contact with the Sun Goddess, Luo Wen doesn't say that he can know the Sun Goddess inside out, but he knows what kind of person the goddess is.

The Sun Goddess is not a person who cares about human affairs. For her, spending time on entertainment is much better than caring about those trivial matters of humans. Moreover, the Sun Goddess has a cheerful personality and walks a great and glorious path. She doesn't seem to be unhappy with the Moon Goddess and then order the Sun Sect to suppress the Moon Sect. At least, even if the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess really have a grudge and she is unhappy with her, the Sun Goddess will do it herself instead of letting the people of the sect oppress the Moon Sect.

And how did the Moon Sect become the desolate state it is now?

"Heretical", "evil", "absurd", "crazy"

These are the words that the Solari used to label the Lunai. If you say that this is not something the Solari did privately, then Rowan would not believe it.

That is why Rowan did not want to associate with these crazy believers. These people are completely different from the Zaun people.

The Zaun people also have a devout belief in Janna, but they still put themselves first. In the eyes of the people of the two cities, the relationship between them and Janna is that Janna helped them, so they would worship Janna and give Janna the power of faith.

The prerequisite for believing in Janna is that Janna helped them.

Yes, the essence of the Twin Cities people is actually a group of businessmen. Do they expect Janna not to do anything and then they believe in Janna devoutly? That kind of thing is impossible. This is a bit like the god culture when Rowan traveled through time.

If you do things, I worship you. If you don’t do things, I worship you?

If the Dragon King doesn’t rain when you worship the Dragon King, then you can directly serve the temple with cannons. If you don’t rain, you step down!

Therefore, in Rowan’s view, the Twin Cities’ belief and worship of Janna is the correct relationship between humans and gods.

There is also the relationship between Ornn and the Hearthland people, who are both teachers and friends.

Volibear is a fool. As long as his believers worship him, he will fight for his believers. Although he is a fool, Volibear is also a good god to some extent. As for Anivia, she is the same as Soraka. All humans in Runeland have to give Anivia three kowtows to him for what they have today.

If Anivia hadn't helped the first group of Freljordians, taught them how to use magic, and found shelter for them, the current situation of Runeterra would have been a big question mark.

Therefore, Rowan didn't have much good feelings towards either the Solari or the Lunari.

The Sun Goddess was pretty good, but Pantheon was definitely a piece of shit. Even if the Sun Goddess was a good god, the Solari was not necessarily right, as can be seen from the existing system in the Solari.

In short, Rowan and Lux ​​took another path to the top of Mount Targon.

After climbing for another afternoon, Rowan and Lux ​​found a place to rest for a while, and Lux ​​took out the food that Soraka had prepared for her from her bag, stretched out her little hand and released fire magic by herself, and Lux ​​ate the heated food on fire, and drank the hot snow mountain tea by the way, sitting on a small colorful blanket, her little face flushed under her hat.

Holding the hot cup, Lux narrowed her eyes happily and said with a smile: "We are very fast, right? I remember reading a book that said that it takes several days or a week to climb Mount Targon even if you are physically strong. If you are physically weak, it is normal to take a month, and most people die on the way to the top."

"Ninety-nine percent of people die on the way to the top of Mount Targon, Lux." Rowan corrected.

Climbing to the top of Mount Targon means that you have received the attention of the Protoss. Basically, you will be infused with power by the Protoss. If you meet a good Protoss, you will become a spokesperson. If you are unlucky and meet an extreme Protoss, you will become like Atreus, losing control of your body and becoming a puppet, or not being favored by the Protoss at all, and then you will become a lost soul, a mentally dull madman.

The reason why Atreus was able to break free was because Pantheon was killed by Aatrox, and Atreus was determined, ignited the Spark, replaced Pantheon, and then took back control of his body.

After a short rest, Rowan and Lux ​​started climbing Mount Targon again.

But this time, Rowan and Lux ​​met two people who were also climbing Mount Targon.

They looked young, the oldest one looked like an adult, and the youngest one was only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The other party also saw Rowan and Lux.

The snow and ice were blown by the strong wind, and they blew on the face like ice knives. The current road was completely different from the road in front. When walking, the pace must be stable, otherwise a gust of wind will blow, and if you are lucky, you will be blown down and roll for dozens of meters to stop. If you are unlucky, you will be blown away and hit the rocks and fall into the deep valley.

At this moment, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Therefore, the faces and conditions of these two people looked extremely miserable, their faces were like frozen soil, their skin was cracked, ice crystals were embedded in the skin, their eyelashes were stained with thick frost, their lips were purple and cracked, and their ears were red and swollen.

The skin of the hand holding the sharp stick was chapped, and the whole body looked wet.

"You, who are you?" The older girl said with trembling lips.

She looked at Lux and Rowan with confusion in her eyes.

Why do they look fine?

The black-haired man was wearing thin clothes, just a simple long-sleeved shirt, but he was in very good condition. The girl next to him was wearing delicate and thick clothes, but her face was a little red. Apart from that, she was in good spirits and her eyes were bright.

This was completely different from them!

Isn't climbing Mount Targon the most difficult trial?

But why do these two guys look so content? It's like... like they are here for a trip!

"The Cult of the Sun? The Rakkor?"

Rowan asked, but looking at the tattered cotton jacket woven with animal skins, grass and unnamed cloth, Rowan felt something was wrong.

The Rakkor tribe is not poor, because they control Mount Targon, and the Cult of the Sun was born among this group of people. Therefore, if they were Rakkor people, these two people should not look so poor.

The other party immediately shook his head, and said fiercely with bloodshot eyes: "We are not Rakkor people, we are villagers under Mount Targon."

"My name is Anna, and this is my brother, Lance."

Anna swallowed, trying to moisten her mouth so that she could speak more clearly. She looked at Rowan and Lux ​​in front of her with pious eyes, her eyes full of pleading: "Are you gods?"

Rowen was stunned, shook his head and said, "Sorry, we are human, from Demacia."

".Then why are you?" Anna was very puzzled, and wanted to ask why Rowan and Lux ​​didn't seem to be affected by the extreme cold weather and harsh environment.

But on the side, his brother Lance's stomach was growling, he reached out and pulled Anna's clothes, and looked at Anna with a look of desire.

He was hungry, he was too hungry.

And Anna also reacted immediately, changed the subject, knelt on the snow with a plop, buried her head in the ice and snow, and said in a muffled voice: "Can you please give us some food, my brother and I haven't eaten for three days."

Before Rowan spoke, Lux had already opened the small bag and took out the dried meat and warm water.

She walked forward, put the food in her hand in front of Anna, and said gently: "Please get up, we didn't bring much food up, I wonder if this is enough?"

Anna looked up, looked at the food piled up in front of her, and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, enough, enough, thank you, beautiful lady, you, you are such a good person!"

Anna picked up the food and gave it to Lance, asking Lance to eat slowly and eat it slowly with water, and then Anna picked up the jerky herself.

Drinking warm water and eating food that was not frozen hard, Anna had a lot of questions to ask, but soon, Anna understood why the water was warm and why the food was not frozen hard.

Lux stretched out her hand and cast a spell on Anna and Lance. Flames appeared from the snow, then grew larger. Soon, warm orange flames appeared beside Anna and Lance. Lux walked to the two of them, stretched out her hands, and faced them on the left and right. Green light appeared, and the injuries on the two were healing.

The ears with frozen wounds became white, the cracked skin was healed, and the purple cracked lips became fuller, but the eyes were still bloodshot.

Lux could only heal physical injuries, and she could not treat the spiritual level.

The mental state of these two people was very poor. They were on the verge of death. If they hadn't met Lux and Rowan here, then this pair of siblings

Rowan looked up and saw that they were still a long way from the top of Mount Targon.

This distance was not a big deal for Rowan and Lux. At most, Lux and Rowan could reach the top tonight.

But what about this pair of siblings?

Like falling from the sky!

In their current state, they were hungry, dehydrated, stiff, and mentally exhausted. They could walk a hundred meters a day, which was considered a success. At this stage, it was no longer a question of whether they could climb up, but whether they could avoid the sudden strong wind and prevent themselves from being blown away.

Once they were blown away by the wind in this state, only death would await them.

After Lux cured their injuries, they were both stunned, and then they looked at Lux with gratitude in their eyes, and knelt down to Lux again.

Lux shook her head with a smile, "No, you don't have to do this, it's just a small favor for me, don't do this."

After Anna and Lance were in a better mental state, Rowan also asked the two why they climbed Mount Targon.

The answer he got was exactly what Rowan expected.

It was nothing more than that the villagers were persecuted by the barbarians driven by Aatrox, and then the village sought help from the Sun Cult, but received no response. After many times, the two young men mustered up the courage to climb Mount Targon, hoping to get the power of the Protoss and then protect the village.

But.

Get the power of the Protoss?

Rowan looked at the two siblings who relaxed their tense spirits and fell asleep leaning against each other because of his and Lux's appearance, and touched his chin.

"Lux, what should we do?" Rowan looked at Lux.

"What should we do?" Lux blinked, not understanding what Rowan meant.

"You want to help these two people, right? But Lux, even if the two of us help them climb Mount Targon, the Protoss will not give them power. Don't forget that we have a grudge against the Protoss." Rowan said seriously.

Lux suddenly realized and said immediately: "It doesn't matter."

"I just want to take them back safely. Since I met them, of course I have to help with this kind of thing." Lux raised his arm and said.

Luo Wen listened and nodded.

Yes, this is Lux.

I am beautiful and kind!
