In the stone cave that temporarily belongs to herself, Lux who has completed meditation training and shield cultivation alone is in a very happy mood, although this day should be resting, but she may be used to the feeling of practicing magic, so even if she is resting, Lux is spending it with the simplest cultivation.

Remembering that her brother Galen was still training the training ground, Lux wanted to go over and have a look, and she walked all the way, humming a little song, but at the corner of the Rising Sun Square leading to the military training area, she met Leona, who was facing the sun against the sun, with a sad face.
When Lux saw Leona, she immediately laughed, in the past few days on the Giant God Peak, Leona has taken great care of her, and Lux is also very fond of this goddess of dawn.
"Mistress Leona, are you basking in the sun here," Lux said to Leona with a smile as she stepped closer, putting her hand on her brow to block out the harsh sunlight.
"Lux? How's your shield doing? Leona reacted, put away her sadness, and asked with a smile.
"Ha, I just realized that my radiant energy is just as naughty as I am, they have to go out for a round before they come back. Today, though, I can get my shield energy to give me a shield when I go out and one when I come back! That's a lot of progress! Lux said happily.
"Yes, it's good to have progress, look at Galen, he has also improved, you two brothers and sisters, it's really enviable." Leona was telling the truth, watching the rapid progress of her juniors make her real envy, and at the same time, it reminded her of a lot of old things.
"Ah, speaking of my brother, Mistress Leona, I have good news for you!" Lux clenched her hands into fists and waved happily.
"Oh? What's the good news? Leona was also interested, and asked with a smile.
"My light shield can be used on my brother!"
"Really?"
"Yes, I don't know if it's because my brother and I are both light attribute physiques, I haven't tried it with anyone else."
"If anyone else could, Lux, I have to tell you that you are an absolute genius in this regard, and that your importance will be irreplaceable by the fact that your shield can be used by others! It seems that Ruiz really has a unique vision, you really are a genius! ”
Lux, who was praised like this, smiled shyly and said, "Lord Leona, you have won the award, this is all due to the teacher's teaching." Eh, Leona-sama, don't you feel glaring when you look at the sun like this? ”
Lux suddenly changed the subject, and Leona suddenly returned to the confusion she had just had, she looked directly at the sun, as if she was not at all uncomfortable, and asked faintly, "Lux, do you think the sun will burn you?" ”
"How is it possible, it's comfortable to bask in the sun, when the sun is not strong, it is also a very beautiful thing to look at the sun, but if the sun is so strong as it is now, the eyes will not be able to stand it."
Lux replied solemnly, "The morning sun and the evening sunset are very beautiful!" And, of course, you, the goddess, are very, very good-looking! ”
"I'm the goddess of the dawn, and I'm not afraid of the sun." Leona quipped, "Actually, in my opinion, the sun is just as beautiful at any time. ”
"Mistress Leona, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it?" Lux asked cautiously.
"Oh? What's wrong with you, a clever ghost? Leona was interested, and she was curious to know what questions Lux would ask her.
"I heard from the teacher that when you inherited the inheritance of the Goddess of Dawn, you had to fight another warrior of the Sun Clan, but you refused to fight at that time, and I wonder why you refused to fight at that time. Is it because of another fighter? Or did you not want to inherit the title at all? Lux seized the slightest opportunity to ask a question, and asked the question in her mind.
Leona was stunned when Lux asked this, and her memories were pulled back to another moment, a moment she will never forget.
"Leona-sama, if I asked something I shouldn't have asked, then you should have assumed that I didn't ask." Seeing Leona's appearance, Lux said guiltily.
After being silent for a long time, Leona lowered her head slightly before speaking slowly.
"It's okay, Lux, do you know that we Sun Clan are a tribe that believes in the god of the sun, and even after the sun sets, because they can't get the sun to shine, the Sun people have to go back to their homes to rest."
"Well, I've known it all these days on the Giant God Peak."
"For the Spartans to inherit the will of the sun god, they must choose people who have a strong belief in the sun. At that time, I was the premier female fighter in the clan, and I was also recognized as the best heir to the goddess of the dawn, but they gave me one last test, one, a test that I did not expect. ”
Lux didn't expect Leona to really tell her about it, so she immediately sat down and listened carefully.
"You know what? In the clan, in addition to Pan Sen, I also have a childhood playmate, her name, is Diana. ”
"Diana is a Sun Clansman unlike all Spartans, and since she was a child, she has always wondered about our worship of the sun, and the people of her tribe have not had a good impression of her. Gradually, she liked to be alone at night, secretly looking for guidance and comfort under the night sky, and fell in love with the feeling of bathing in moonlight. ”
"One day, she secretly approached me and told me that she had been guided by the moon god."
"At that time, I was shocked, you know, such a statement, you will be burned to death on the altar of Jiagangtan as a heretic! I warned her not to tell anyone else about it, or it would cause unnecessary trouble, but she stubbornly told me that she would find the exact miracle of the moon, and that we could worship the moon as we worshipped the sun! ”
From then on, Diana began to study the Sun Clan's literature in solitude, until she discovered an encrypted message hidden in an ancient tome.
This clue led her to an isolated valley on the Titan Peak, where she dug the entrance to an ancient sealed temple. In the midst of the ruins, she found an ornate armor and a beautiful crescent blade, both engraved with the Moon Charm. ”
"Diana put on the outfit and returned to the Place of the Rising Sun that night, where she found the people who had made fun of her and told them that these treasures would prove that there were once others on the Titan Peak who worshipped the moon as much as she did!"
To her horror, the people were outraged by her statement. They declared Diana a heretic, sentenced her to death, and put her in a prison cell. During the time she was imprisoned, I had secretly visited her, and the reaction of the people made Diana feel infinite sadness and disappointment, and the dark faith eroded her will, and she began to hate the entire Sun Clan! ”
"The news of Diana's renunciation of the Sun faith spread, and the people agreed that she should be burned to the altar of Jiagangtan as a sacrifice to the god of the sun."
"Then, my final test has come!"
