Chapter 984: Trust

Jeno climbed all the way into the night, and although the blizzard stopped for a while, the top of the mountain was still out of reach.

From his point of view, the distance between him and the top of the mountain had never been shortened, and it seemed that he had been standing still for half the day, which was really frustrating.

But he knows that he is not going to the top of the mountain, but to the mountainside, so now he can still maintain a relatively good attitude and climb up step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

To the east is a rugged mountainside flat, and it is much easier to walk than under the steep cliffs in the west with frost and fog, and in some sections you don't even need a pickaxe, and you still have to wait from time to time to find a place to rest.

But don't underestimate the Giant God Peak because of this, because the east side is easier to climb, there are more people who choose to climb the peak from this side.

Every few meters, you can see a hard and cold frozen corpse, most of these corpses maintain the action of climbing, and do not give up at the last moment of life to advance to the top of the mountain, but this also proves that they were taken away by the cold in an instant, and the small manpower cannot oppose nature after all.

There were also a few huddled frozen dead, covered in a thick layer of snow and ice, which seemed to merge with the rocks, slowly twisting with the rocks that twisted around the ridge. One can imagine how they died, nothing more than being unable to sleep after being injured or exhausted.

The corpses of these predecessors vividly interpret the cold realities one by one, and Leona was moved:

"Climbing the Giant God Peak again, I realized how difficult this road is."

"Didn't you see these losers last time?" Jeno responded to her naturally, in such a cold environment, every breath could swallow the clouds.

In the second half of the night, Leona remained awake and communicated with each other from time to time.

"I hadn't seen them before, I just followed Diana all the way to the top of the mountain before I knew it. In retrospect, that night was like a dream. ”

Yes, Diana and Leona made it to the summit in just one night, and they were both darlings of the giant gods and definitely went through the back door.

Thinking that he hadn't climbed halfway up the mountain overnight, Jeno shook his head and sighed, "Two lucky ones who have been appointed. ”

"When I was a child, I heard that you could pick up stars when you climbed the mountain, but when I got to the top of the mountain, I realized that it was fake." Leona smiled self-deprecatingly. That night, she and Diana both grew a lot and changed a lot.

"But you've become a star in other people's eyes."

Jeno looked up and saw the moon rising right up to the top of the mountain. I don't know if it's because of the altitude or the influence of magic, but the moon looks surprisingly large, which is a common sight on the Giant God Peak.

The so-called building near the water gets the moon first, which is pretty much what it means.

"The moonlight is so beautiful." Jeno sighed from the bottom of his heart, without meaning anything else.

"But it is not as good as sunlight, which can nourish all things and bring light and warmth to people."

"Are you cold?" Jeno asked. The flower poison suppressed the power of the star spirit, and Leona that Jeno felt was cold.

"I didn't warm up with exercise, so naturally I had to get colder." The intense pain from the flower poison still tormented Leona's body.

"Would you like to stop and bake the fire?"

"No, your back is warm enough." Leona buried her face behind Jeno's shoulder, feeling the warmth pass from him into her body. This feeling of comfort drew her closer, her chest pressed against his back, as if to merge herself into one.

"Why resist the moonlight, maybe Diana is looking at the same moon as you at the moment."

"You remind me of those days when I spent the night arguing with Diana." With a heart-rending sigh, she pressed down the pain and memories.

"The fact that you can be close friends doesn't prove that the sun and the moon are not as irreconcilable as they are called."

"You have one less premise, and before that, she had not devoted herself to the moon. She was only suspicious of the teachings of the Sun Cult, not as opposed as she was now. ”

"They just want to change your attitude, the Bright Moon Sect needs some room to survive."

"My attitude will not change, that's what I've been taught. The sun is the source of all life, and all other rays are hypocritical and threaten the existence of the sun. When the sun is destroyed, everything will fall into darkness, so the warriors of the sun must be prepared to fight those who try to extinguish the daylight. ”

Faith blinds people, and Jeno knew it would be foolish to change her mind at the thought that those fanatical priests could meditate for weeks without eating or drinking, sustaining their lives only on the energy of the sun.

But he has something to say clearly, and he can't let the moon carry this pot in vain.

"The life of the sun also has an end, it burns itself, emits light and heat. It has been dying since its birth, how can you say that the moon killed it? ”

"Will the sun die too?" Leona shuddered, she couldn't imagine what the world would be like without the sun, and she couldn't care if the moon had killed her.

"Don't worry, the day the sun dies, the Giant God Peak may be smoothed out by the wind and snow, and even your sect will have long disappeared into the long river of history at that time."

"It's going to be a long, long time coming." Leona's nervous mood relaxed again, and what happened long after her death had nothing to do with her.

Jeno wondered with amusement if the giant god had observed that the sun would be destroyed and left the Runeterras in advance to find another base. But there's no need to rush it, the sun still looks young here, and they could have stayed in the Runeterras for a little longer.

The two of them continued to talk for a while, until sleepiness hit.

"I'm sleepy." Leona had already started talking to Jeno, and she was gradually becoming more and more unkind.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Jeno was ready to continue climbing the mountain.

"Good night, and hopefully I'll see the sun tomorrow." Leona said one last word and fell asleep.

"You'll see."

Jeno thought that it would be difficult to fall asleep in such a bumpy situation, but when real sleepiness hits, any situation in the outside world will be automatically blocked by the brain and he will devote himself to sleep. But even more convincing is Leona's trust in Jeno, and trust is a prerequisite for relaxation. It was because she believed that Jeno would protect her, so that she could fall asleep at the mercy of others on the edge of the cliff.

Jeno continued to climb in the moonlit night, and the titans didn't seem to want to embarrass him anymore, or to pity Leona.

The cold wind on the next road was much lesser, and the pain in the face was no longer like a knife cut. Leona, who was weakened, was finally able to rest in a relatively calm state.
