Here, the peak of the giant god peak is closest to the sun, and it is here that the ancestors of the Stampa tribe were baptized by the sun, and then led our people to become the most legendary Sun tribe in Valoran. Leona stood on the top of the peak above the clouds, and a sense of ethereal nothingness, looking down on everything, welled up in her heart. Her mind also seemed to go back hundreds of years to experience the supreme glory.

"Leona, it's not too early, it's time to go to the Sun Duel Arena for a duel." One of the elders looked at Leona, who was alone, and reminded.

Leona realized that she was distracted, ignoring the elders who were following her. She bowed slightly, and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Elder, let you blow the cold wind with you, let's go." ”

The elder saw that Leona's words and demeanor were calm and calm, not arrogant or impatient, and he admired her even more in his heart. If the clan is led by someone like Leona, it will surely regain its glory.

The Elder led Leona to the Sun Duel Platform in the center of the peak, where Leona and Lehrer will duel, and the winner will inherit the artifact enshrined on the summit altar.

Leona jumped onto the stage, and Leyler had been waiting on it for a long time. Lehler has a handsome face, which makes people feel familiar when they look at it.

After Leyler saw Leona jump on the stage, he bowed and said: "Leona, I didn't expect that there would be such a day, you and I will stand on the dueling platform, if I can, I don't want to fight you, but since fate is like this, let me see who is better between you and me, you are a woman, you strike first!" ”

Leona didn't even look at him as if she hadn't heard Leller's words. Leona's gaze swept across the stage, paused for a moment where Panson was, and then moved away. She said to the elders in the elder table next to the dueling table, "Elder, I want to give up this battle to inherit the artifact. ”

As soon as these words came out, flowers immediately exploded in the elders' seats and the audience who came to watch the battle, and all kinds of remarks spread overwhelmingly.

Duel, long before the Stampa tribe became the Sun Clan, was incomparably sacred, and could not be desecrated. As a Stempa person, it is a great shame to retreat during a duel, and besides, a duel with the same clan will not happen to life and death, and those who dare to give up even a duel are not worthy to accept the light of the sun.

Offstage, Pan Sen looked at Leona who refused to fight with complexity. In fact, he hoped in his heart that Leona would refuse, and even if he didn't, it would be better to lose in the hands of Leyler, so that they could still do what they wanted to do happily as before, without having to think too much. But the refusal he wanted was Leona's private refusal, not in front of the whole clan. Leona's situation is a bit dangerous now, but this is a very meaningful representation in the ceremony of inheriting the artifact. Maybe the elders will get angry and execute Leona.

One of the elders stood up and scolded, "Leona, you know what? You're rejecting the Sun Clan's most sacred duel! ”

Leona nodded, and said in a very flat tone, "Elder, I know. ”

"And you still refuse? And if you win, you will become as great as your ancestors, leading the Lieyang Clan to glory again, and you have to give up such an opportunity? The elder who stood up looked at Leona with a look of annoyance.

Even the other elders at the table looked at Leona with displeasure, and it seemed that they were also disgusted by Leona's refusal at such a time.

"I have made up my mind, and I ask the elders to fulfill it." Leona lowered her head and clenched her fists.

"It's not like that...... It's really not like words, execution...... If you don't duel, just wait to be executed! The elder who stood up said.

After hearing this, the other elders also looked at each other a few times and expressed their agreement in silence.

"No matter what, I won't agree to this duel." Leona resolutely refused.

"Guards, press down this sinner, and come here at noon today to behead him!" The elder snapped out.

Pan Sen in the audience withdrew from the duel stage at some point and came to the foot of the mountain. He looked at a minaret-like palace on another mountain peak and muttered, "If fate chooses you to die, then it's up to me to break it!" ”

Walking up the stone steps leading to the temple, Panson remembered what happened when he was a child. As children, Panson and Leona often bullied other children together, and once they were seen by each other's fathers and chased them around. Leona and Panson took many detours and got rid of the man before they reached the foot of this temple.

Driven by curiosity, the two climbed to the temple at the top of the mountain, entered it, and found that it contained a stone statue of the first ancestor of the Lieyang clan. It is usually forbidden for anyone to break in here, and it is a forbidden place for the Burning Sun Clan, and Pan Sen and the others don't know this because they are playful and young, so they come in with peace of mind.

Pan Sen and Leona saw a lot of fruits, chickens, ducks, and fish in front of the statue, and when they saw that there was no one around, they devoured them, and after a while, they ate them all. This also indirectly led to the elders who came to clean once a month to find out and thought that their ancestors had appeared and bowed for a whole morning.

After Pan Sen was full, he climbed directly onto the stone statue and accidentally touched a certain mechanism. A flash of light shone on him and Leona, and a set of Guardian artifacts appeared in front of them.

This reminds Panson and Leona of a legend that grown-ups often tell – the story of the ancestors of the Guardian and the Sun's messenger. Pan Sen said unintentionally that when the two of them grew up, Leona put on the armor of the Guardian and opened the mechanism, shining the Holy Light on himself, and then he inherited the most powerful artifact, and the two of them traveled around the world together. Leona didn't take this experience seriously, and when she grew up, she completely forgot about it.

But Pan Sen always remembered, so he walked on the steps leading to the temple. He is willing to do anything to save Leona.

By the time Panson reached the temple at the top of the mountain, it was almost noon. He quickly walked into the temple, opened the mechanism, and a whole set of familiar artifacts appeared in front of him.

Pan Sen wore orange and yellow bracers, orange special material close-fitting soft armor, orange knee pads on his knees, dark blue boots on his feet, and dark blue cloak draped over his body, like the guardian of the ancient sun god, heroic and domineering.

He took a deep breath as he looked at the remaining black spear in front of him, the silver on the outside and the quaint shield that alternated red and yellow on the inside, and a silver-white helmet with a tinge of yellowing. At this time, he hesitated.

With this helmet, you and I will be master and servant from now on, Leona.

I don't want to do that if I could, but if I don't become a Guardian, you're going to die, and I don't want to see that happen!

I don't know if you remember the days when we used to laugh together.

But the sun we believe in has not chosen you, it has left you to die!

Leona, from this day forward, I no longer believe in the sun.

I will serve you alone, and I will be your believer!

Since the sun has not chosen you, then it is up to me to choose you!

Goodbye, Leona!

Panson's eyes moistened, and he slowly put on the helmet that only showed his eyes, nose, and mouth.

From then on, he will follow Leona as a guardian and will no longer be loyal to anyone.

……

At the top of the main peak of the Giant God Peak, on the Sun Duel Platform, Leona was on the platform with her hands tied behind her back. The elder who had pronounced Leona's death sentence was standing behind Leona with a knife.

Leona closed her eyes and faced the sky. She doesn't regret her choice, she doesn't want to duel with Rehrer. Because once she fights a duel, she will definitely lose to her, and she doesn't want to win, she wants to be an ordinary clansman, and it is enough for Pan Sen to be together every day.

Panson, where are you now? I'm dying, and I want to see you again. Leona called softly in her heart.

The elder swung his machete and fell straight down. Just as he was about to cut off Leona's head, a blinding light directly blinded the elder's eyes. Leona was then wrapped in the light with the elder, and no one could see what was going on inside.

Gradually, the light ceased to be dazzling, and turned into a soft holy light shining on Leona's body, and the rope behind her was automatically untied, and the elder passed out on the ground.

Looking at Leona bathed in the holy light, the surrounding elders and clansmen were very shocked, and they didn't know what to say. It happened so suddenly that no one present had time to react.

One of the elders was the first to react, shouting, "This is a miracle...... Miracles! The god of the sun once again favored our people and sent down the holy light, we blame Leona, she must not want to hurt her people in the duel before refusing to duel, even the god of the sun is touched by her kindness, Leona, worthy heir to the artifact! ”

As these words ended, the surrounding clansmen reacted, lamenting the miracle and the favor of the sun god, and chanting Leona's name: "Leona, the sun's choice!"

Leona, who was in the holy light, had a blank face, she didn't expect that she who was about to be executed would have such a shocking reversal and become the inheritor of the ancestral artifact.

Sun God, did you choose me?

Thank you for your kindness, and I will not die.

I will not disappoint your expectations and lead my clan to prosperity.

Although I didn't want to be the heir, this has happened, and I will do everything carefully.

Secretly determined, Leona, led by the elders and surrounded by her clansmen, walked towards the altar at the top of the mountain.

She will inherit the will of her ancestors and become the messenger of the sun, wearing the armor of the steel sun, holding the heirloom shield and the blade of the zenith to defeat all evil and forge a new legend of the Sun Clan.

And the premise of all this is: no longer talk about the marriage of mortals, above all living beings.
