Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 232 Climbing, the hiding place of the Bright Moon Sect!

[The host can choose to help Atreus realize his dream. After the dream is realized successfully, the host can choose one of the abilities or characteristics of Atreus and the War God. 】

Looking at the blue light screen that appeared in front of him, Zuo Chi's expression was a little complicated.

This was the first time that Zuo Chi wanted to directly refuse the task request in front of him.

There is no doubt that Atreus had only one purpose in climbing Mount Targon:

That is to find those high-ranking protoss and ask them to stop interfering in the faith struggle of the people of Mount Targon, and to let the Sun Protoss intervene in the tyrannical behavior of the Sun Religion.

However, this matter is not easy to come by.

Just like Atreus said, the protoss are used to being aloof, so how can they care about the life and death of ordinary people.

In order to reach consensus, conflicts will inevitably break out.

There are five star spirits that Zuo Chi knows about alone, not including those unknown celestial beings.

Once he gets involved in this matter, it means that he will no longer be able to escape unscathed, and his connection with Thor will inevitably be exposed.

This was completely contrary to my previous expectation of leaving immediately after getting the key.

The last time he was in Demacia, if Kyle hadn't arrived a little late and hadn't witnessed the battle between Zuochi and Fiddlesticks, he might have been exposed long ago.

And now.

"Atreus, we can't climb to the top with you. If you want to achieve your goal, you may have to work hard on your own."

In the end, Zuo Chi decided to speak directly to Atreus.

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Atreus did not hesitate. He nodded naturally:

"This is what I have in mind. Of course I have to complete my own affairs by myself."

Just now, Atreus was standing in a somewhat dilapidated wooden house, his eyes moving on the four weapons hanging on the wall.

He decided to try again.

This time, no one will be involved and no one will pay for what he did.

He only believes in his own heart.

He has been looking up at the stars all his life, but has never thought about the world under the stars.

Mortals are different from gods. The reason why mortals fight is because they have no choice. Death is always waiting. The pressure from the superior will make them involuntarily go to the abyss of sin.

And what Atreus has to do is to use his mortal body to fight for mortals.

Even though he no longer has the power of the Star Spirit, he still wants to give it a try.

When she learned that Atreus was going to climb Mount Targon with Zuochi, Iura had very complicated emotions.

Atreus and her husband were close friends, and she naturally hoped that Atreus would cheer up.

But at the same time, she also deeply understood the dangers of climbing Mount Targon.

Nowadays, Atreus no longer has the power of the stars, and he is almost no different from a mortal. Under this premise, in order to reach the top, what he has to pay will undoubtedly be all he has.

Looking at Atreus who had picked up the golden spear again in front of him, Iura nodded heavily at him.

"Atreus, Paras and I will wait here for your return."

Just like that, Zuo Chi, Soraka, and Pan Sen set off.

Although Mount Targon is only a mountain peak, it covers an extremely vast area and the mountain is extremely thick, almost comparable to a small land mass.

Located on the westernmost side of the Shurima continent, further west from Mount Targon is the vast and mysterious Sea of ​​Conquerors.

In order to avoid the eyes of the Burning Sun Sect, Zuo Chi and the others planned to start climbing from the west side of Mount Targon. Zuo Chi and Soraka would stop at a suitable height, and Panson needed to climb the rest of the way. gone.

When heading from the farm to the west side of Mount Targon, Zuo Chi and the others encountered many patrol teams of the Burning Sun Sect, and also saw many sun symbols symbolizing the beliefs of the Burning Sun Sect.

There is no doubt that the current Sun Sect has almost ruled the entire Mount Targon, and has attributed all the believers' beliefs to themselves.

As for the Bright Moon Sect, which was once as famous as the Burning Sun Sect, it has long since disappeared due to the exclusion and suppression of the Burning Sun Sect.

At this time, if anyone from the Bright Moon Sect appears in the sight of the Burning Sun Sect, they may be directly and ruthlessly killed.

About two hours later, the three of them finally arrived at the westernmost side of Mount Targon. Looking around, they saw the vast Sea of ​​Conquerors shrouded in mist right in front of them.

Starting from the foot of the mountain, Zuo Chi and the other three began their journey to climb the highest peak in Rune Land along a path that didn't know how far up it would go.

The climate at the foot of the mountain is not much different from other places, and most of the forces in Mount Targon are also located at and below the foot of the mountain.

The three of them were very fast and had climbed nearly a thousand meters in almost an instant.

When they arrived here, the three of them could already clearly feel the changes in the climate.

The gray-white rocky ground was gradually covered with snow, and the path trampled by previous people also came to an end.

Continuing upward, the snow begins to become thicker and thicker, the temperature is dropping rapidly, and snowflakes gradually begin to fall in the sky.

"Dingle bell~!"

Suddenly, a clear ringing sound attracted the attention of Zuo Chi and the others, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.

There, Zuo Chi saw several elves that were all white and had a purple gem between their eyebrows.

These little elves have colorful wings and their bodies are covered with down, and they are jumping around on the white snow.

"So there is life on Mount Targon? I thought this was a restricted area for life."

Looking at the elf in front of him, Zuo Chi said with some surprise.

Soraka smiled softly: "The Mount Targon is always shrouded in majestic power. In this case, of course many life forms will be born."

"Let's keep going up, the road after that will get harder and harder."

The three of them continued on the road. From beginning to end, Atreus did not speak, but he would often raise his head and look up at the top of Mount Targon, with strong fighting intent in his eyes.

The snow was slowly getting thicker and the temperature was dropping. Zuo Chi raised his hand and added a light layer of life energy to Atreus' body surface.

Atreus looked at Zuo Chi in surprise, but Zuo Chi just smiled at him.

"I'll help you if I can. If I can't help you, I'll just leave."

Atreus did not reject Zuo Chi's kindness and nodded slightly towards him.

We soon reached the end of the snow area. At this time, blizzards began to fall in the sky in front of us, and the cold wind passed through the bodies of the three people like sharp knives.

If ordinary people arrived here, their movements would be greatly hindered, and even the vast majority of climbers would be lost in this area.

Looking up, the three of them still couldn't even see the top of Mount Targon, which meant that they were still a long way from reaching the top.

Seemingly thinking of something, Zuo Chi asked curiously: "Continuing upward, will the weather still be like this?"

Soraka shook her head slightly: "No. As long as you pass through the blizzard area of ​​several kilometers, you will reach the top of the clouds, where there will no longer be snowfall."

"Can we climb to the top?" Zuo Chi asked again.

"It's not that easy."

Soraka said with a smile: "There is a gem area thousands of meters above the blizzard area. It is covered with extremely sharp gem spikes. It will be extremely difficult to climb up in that area."

“When you really pass through the gem area, you can reach the last node on the way to the top.”

Zuo Chi listened with interest. There was no doubt that these things were very crucial.

Soraka continued: "After passing through the Gem Zone, you will see the gatekeeper of Mount Targon - the Summit Arbiter."

"He is a messenger from heaven and has the strength of a high-level demigod."

Zuo Chi's heart skipped a beat. Just as he expected, there were indeed creatures from outside the sky on Mount Titan.

"Not everyone who reaches the top can receive blessings from the stars."

Looking at Zuo Chi's curious baby look, Soraka continued:

"The Summit Arbiter will judge whether the climber is compatible with the power of the Star Spirit. If a Star Spirit is willing to lower his power, the climber will become the human body of the Star Spirit. If there is no power that matches it, the Summit Arbiter will It will symbolically give the climber some power. Although it is very strong, it is far from comparable to the power of the stars."

After hearing this, Zuo Chi also had a general understanding of climbing Mount Targon.

Zuo Chi had always thought that as long as he climbed to the top, he would be blessed by the stars, but after a long time of fussing, he still said it was incompatible!

Without any further hesitation, the three of them immediately prepared to continue climbing.

At this time, the three of them were at the end of the snow area, the beginning of the blizzard area, and on the back of Mount Targon. This was the edge where life could live. Although the environment was harsh, there was no snowfall.

However, just when Zuo Chi took a step forward, he suddenly felt a very strong magic wave coming from under his feet.

As if some kind of premonition device had been triggered, an invisible silver light spread out.

"Ok?"

Noticing something strange at his feet, Zuo Chi frowned in confusion.

Sensing Zuo Chi's behavior, Soraka asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Zuo Chi leaned down and felt the gradually fading magic fluctuations. He asked doubtfully: "Is there anyone living here?"

"How can it be."

Soraka shook his head: "This kind of environment is not like a place where ordinary people can live."

Zuo Chi did not speak at the first moment, but carefully felt the strange power attached to his fingertips.

After a few breaths, Zuo Chi turned his head and looked to his left side. There, a very high snow waterfall hung down from the cliff, completely covering the things behind it.

Zuo Chi walked towards that direction. Although Soraka and Pan Sen behind him were a little confused, they still followed Zuo Chi's footsteps.

Arriving in front of the thick snowfall, Zuo Chi could clearly feel the magic waves coming from ahead.

Slowly raising his hand, Zuo Chi's hand passed directly through the snow waterfall under the suspicious eyes of the two people behind him, as if he had opened a magic barrier.

Almost at the same time, a dazzling blue light curtain appeared in front of Zuo Chi.

[Ask the host to help Aphelios realize his dream. After the dream is realized successfully, the host can choose one of the abilities and characteristics of Aphelios and Lalune. 】

"!!"

Before Zuo Chi could react, a bright moonlight shot out from the front and headed straight for Zuo Chi's left shoulder.

That was an arrow wrapped in moonlight!

Along with it came a sharp shout: "Stranger, get out of here!"

The next moment, the arrow hit Zuo Chi's shoulder, but it did not penetrate Zuo Chi's body. Instead, it broke directly as if it hit hard steel.

At this moment, not only Soraka and Atreus behind Zuochi, but also the person behind the moonlight barrier were stunned.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi said with some surprise:

"I just said that Mount Targon is only so big. Where can the people of the Bright Moon Sect live? It turns out it is here."

After hearing Zuo Chi's words, the man's expression changed greatly. Without any hesitation, he directly sent an early warning to the sect.

He never imagined that someone could come here. This is the highest area that the living can reach on Mount Targon, and it is still on the most remote west side.

What made him even more alarmed was that Zuo Chi actually revealed their identities as soon as he opened his mouth!

Zuo Chi ignored his series of actions, but raised his hand and gently opened the moonlight barrier in front of him, revealing the scene behind the barrier.

This place is like a small world independent of Mount Targon. Although it is built on the mountain of Mount Targon, it covers a large area and has all the facilities. Even the warm sunlight from the outside is blocked. It was replaced by the cold white moonlight inside.

Soraka looked at the scene in front of her, and she gently pulled Zuo Chi's clothes: "Zuo Chi."

Zuo Chi patted Soraka's hand and whispered with an inexplicable expression: "Are you a little surprised, Soraka? Or is it expected? You knew they were here in advance, right?"

Soraka lowered her head, not daring to look at Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi smiled helplessly: "Actually, you can tell me directly."

"No"

Soraka became at a loss. She clutched the hem of Zuo Chi's clothes tightly:

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just thought it would be best if you could find them. If you can't find them, forget it; and climbing Mount Targon from here is really the safest way. I didn't want to take advantage of you at all. the meaning of."

Before Zuo Chi could say anything else, there was suddenly dense footsteps coming from the front.

The three turned around and saw a group of warriors wearing gray robes, holding weapons, and looking wary.

"Intruders, tell us your purpose." The old man at the head said first.

However, when his eyes fell on Atreus behind Zuo Chi, he was still slightly stunned.

"Lord War Star Spirit?"

The tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot because of Atreus's presence.

Hearing the old man's words, Atreus's expression turned slightly gloomy, but he still said:

"I am no longer a war star, just a mortal."

Although he could not understand what Atreus meant, the old man still said:

"Can you tell the next three people the purpose of entering my sect?"

Due to the current dangerous situation of the Moon Sect, the old man must ensure that they will not be discovered by the Sun Sect.

This is related to the final survival of the Moon Sect, and he must treat it carefully.

At this time, Zuo Chi said: "We wanted to climb Mount Titan, and when we passed here, we happened to notice the magic fluctuations in your barrier, so we accidentally discovered this place."

After hearing Zuo Chi's explanation, the old man's eyes trembled a few times, as if he couldn't believe that his sect's barrier would be easily discovered.

However, after hearing that several people were preparing to climb Mount Targon, and the identity of Atreus's war protoss, the old man was still convinced that they had nothing to do with the Sun Sect.

Seeing this, the old man nodded slightly and said enthusiastically:

"I'm Lu Tan, the current high priest of the Moon Sect. If the three of you don't mind, you can come to the sect to rest for a while."

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi looked at the old man in front of him with some surprise. Although he was old, he was very energetic.

Combined with the old man's attitude, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded when recalling the previous attitude of the people of the Burning Sun Sect towards Atreus.

Looking at Soraka and Atreus behind him, Zuo Chi smiled and nodded when he saw that neither of them had objections.

"Then I'll bother High Priest Lutan."

In this way, Zuo Chi and the others followed Lu Tan and his party into the territory of the Bright Moon Sect.

Although it is within a mountain, it is small but well-equipped. The roads here extend in all directions and all kinds of buildings are also available.

Along the way, Zuo Chi could see that the number of followers of the Bright Moon Sect was now very small, less than a hundred. Compared with the Sun Sect, which was at its peak in the outside world, it was like heaven and earth.

A crescent moon is enshrined in the temple of the Moon Sect, and the bright moonlight emitted by the crescent moon shines on the faces of everyone below.

The believers were looking at the three outsiders Zuo Chi with curious eyes, which was somewhat unusual for them.

Zuo Chi was also looking at the Bright Moon Sect in front of him. He saw that these believers were busy inside and outside, seeming to be preparing for the upcoming grand ceremony.

Zuo Chi looked at the crescent moon in the temple. He was a little confused, why wasn't the bright moon star spirit worshiped here?

As if she could see Zuo Chi's doubts at a glance, Soraka explained softly: "Diana has been away for many years and has never come back here."

Hearing Soraka's words behind him, Lu Tan, who was walking in front, looked at her in surprise.

"Do you know Lord Bright Moon Star Spirit?"

Soraka nodded: "I have witnessed the whole process of her and Leona being blessed."

Lu Tan suddenly became extremely excited: "Then do you know when Lord Bright Moon Star Spirit will come back?"

His voice became choked: "We have been living in this place just to wait for her to return again."

Soraka's expression became very complicated, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

The person in front of me had never even seen what Diana looked like, because Diana had a fierce conflict with Leona after she became a god, and then Diana disappeared completely after killing all the top leaders of the Sun Religion. .

No one knows where she went, and she never came back to see the Lunar Sect.

After all, Leona and Diana had always been disciples of the Burning Sun Sect before that!

No one knows how excited the believers of the Bright Moon Sect who were hiding in the dark were when the Bright Moon Star Spirit came into the world.

They even thought that the bright moon star spirit would come to the bright moon sect soon, and then lead the declining moon sect back to its peak again.

However, they waited for a long, long time, and even to this day, many years later, they still have not seen the bright moon star spirit that they have been looking forward to for a long time.

They have not even seen the appearance of the Bright Moon Star Spirit, but they are still willing to live in the darkness for her, quietly waiting for the day she returns.

After a long silence, Soraka said softly:

"It should be soon."

"That's good! That's good! That's good!"

Lu Tan kept repeating this sentence, and his body was shaking violently with excitement.

"We have been waiting for that day to come. Even if I die, my children are still willing to wait."

While they were talking, Zuo Chi and the others had followed Lu Tan to an empty and flat stone room with several stone tables.

"The three adults will take a rest here first. I will have them bring some special delicacies of the Moon Sect to the three adults."

After Lu Tan finished speaking, he bowed slightly and walked outside.

Behind him, Zuo Chi looked at Lu Tan's back and couldn't help sighing:

"Is this what you call faith if you stick to it for decades for someone who has never appeared?"

Almost at the same time that Zuo Chi and the others entered the Bright Moon Sect, a figure wearing a blue and green tight-fitting gown was rushing upwards from the foot of Mount Targon.

Behind him, nearly a hundred figures holding weapons were chasing after him, and they continued to release various powerful magics in an attempt to intercept his actions.

His figure was flashing rapidly, his breathing gradually became a little heavier, and the bright moonlight shone in his hands.

Just when those people were almost approaching his back, a very strange-looking weapon appeared in his hand.

It was a white weapon similar to a cannon barrel. At this time, the muzzle of this weapon had already lit up with majestic energy fluctuations.

The next moment, an ethereal and cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Brother, Yingyan!"

He clasped his hands together, and a crescent moon swept out in front of him, heading straight towards the people of the Burning Sun Sect.

"Qing Hui Ye Ning!"
