Legends of Runeterra

"elder brother!!"

When Diana opened her eyes and looked at Li En, an ethereal and urgent cry rang out.

The two turned around and saw a slender woman in a moon-white robe standing at the entrance of Guihai Maru Temple, looking anxiously at Aphelios who was hovering in the air.

"Don't worry, I've treated him, your brother is fine."

A gentle and peaceful voice sounded, instantly calming the anxiety in La Lune's heart.

She turned her gaze, lingered on Diana for a moment, and then looked at Li En.

"Thank you for saving me, my name is LaRune, and that is my brother Aphelios.

For some reason I cannot leave this holy temple, could you please bring my brother here?"

"Okay, I'm Li En, and this is Diana."

After Li En finished speaking, he looked at Diana beside him, then jumped lightly and landed at the door of Guihai Maru Temple with Aphelios.

As for why he didn't enter the holy temple, Li En knew clearly that this magical temple was rumored to only accommodate one person.

Although Li En has not yet discovered the hidden door of the holy temple, for the sake of La Lune's safety, Li En chose not to enter rashly.

"elder brother!"

Looking at Aphelios right in front of her, although Alune couldn't get out, she discovered through magical perception that except for the very weak magic power in his body, his life breath was very stable, and she immediately felt relieved.

Looking up at the two of them, La Luen clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and sincerely saluted Li En and the others.

"Thank you again for your help. Without your help, my brother and I would have died here today."

"Uh...this..."

Faced with La Lune's sincere gratitude, Li En turned his head somewhat awkwardly to look at Diana beside him, and found that the other's cold face also revealed a bit of embarrassment.

"Ms. Laluen, you don't have to thank me. In fact, tonight's 'moon conjunction' night is a celestial phenomenon that Diana and I specially created in order to contact the Lunari Cult.

I just didn't expect that this would put you two in danger, and I'm deeply sorry for that."

After Li En finished speaking, he was about to bow and apologize, and Diana beside him followed him.

Seeing this, La Lune quickly stretched out her hand, and used her magic power like the bright moonlight to support the two of them, while immediately explaining.

“You two benefactors, there is no need to do this. Aphelios and I have been hunting evil spirits for years, and we have long been targeted by these monsters.

You guys triggered the celestial phenomena ahead of time, which caught the monsters off guard. This can be considered a good thing.

Besides, you did save us, so please don’t be like...like this..."

Seeing La Lune's fair face slightly flushed and anxious, Li En no longer forced herself to bow and apologize, and stood up following the other party's magic.

"Well, since you said so, Lady La Lune, let's skip this matter for now, Diana."

"Okay Lee En."

Nodding slightly to Li En, Diana took a step forward.

Seeing this, Laluen, who was standing at the gate of Guihai Maru Temple, clenched her hands nervously.

It was not because of anything else, but the reason why she was able to trust Li En and the others so quickly was largely because of the aura of Diana.

The intimate breath that seemed to be nobler than her own, bright and clear, and able to purify all evil in the world, made La Lune vaguely associate it with the existence recorded in the sect's scriptures.

However, that kind of transcendent existence that has endured unimaginable hardships and thus obtained the blessings of heaven has long become a legend of the sect.

For a moment, La Lune wanted to verify it, but was afraid that the answer she would get would not match her guess.

"Hello, Laluen."

"Hello...Hello, benefactor."

Looking at the somewhat nervous La Lune, Diana thought about the way Leona treated people and things, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her cold face softened a lot.

"Not long ago, I climbed to the top of Mount Targon, where I received the gift of the Moon..."

"Om~!"

Diana said this while raising her right hand, and bright, pure light rose from her palm.

"After some things happened, I met Li En and learned that the Bright Moon Cult still exists in the world. As the 'Moon Star Spirit', I want to know how our sect is doing now? Are the believers all right?"

"..."

La Lune stared blankly at the light emerging from Diana's palm, without any response to the questions she raised.

"Laluen? Laluen you didn't..."

"what!"

"I'm sorry, Master Star Spirit, the disciple La Lune was rude!"

La Lune, who was awakened by the shock, quickly performed an ancient ritual, with her fair and pretty face slightly lowered, like a believer seeing a god, and at this moment she no longer chose to look directly at Diana.

"Uh..."

Seeing La Lune's respectful and pious look, Diana didn't know how to face her for a moment, so Li En spoke up to remind her.

"Ms. Laurene, Diana wants to know the current situation of the Lunari Cult."

"Yes! Thank you Mr. Li En for reminding me!

My Lord Star Spirit, the Lunari now resides in Mount Themis in the west of the Targon Mountains.

There are natural caves inside the mountain, which are very suitable for the sect to live in seclusion and also very suitable for observing the phases of the moon. "

"As for believers, there are now 532 of them, including me and my brother..."

"So little!?"

The unexpectedly small number of people made Diana frown slightly.

Due to the topographical factors of Mount Targon, the steep and uplifted mountains do not allow for large-scale planting, so most people here live in a scattered tribal form.

But even so, the Rakkor tribe who believes in the Fiery Sun Sect has a population of nearly 5,000 people in the Fiery Sun Temple area where Diana is located alone.

The fact that the Bright Moon Sect only has a little over 500 members is somewhat abnormal.

"Sorry... My Lord Star Spirit..."

Facing Diana, whose face turned cold, Alune stammered with her crystal clear lips and apologized with a trembling voice.

"I..."

"Ms. La Lune, Diana is just worried that you may be oppressed by some force because she heard that your number is so small. She is not blaming you."

A gentle and calm voice sounded, sweeping away the awkward atmosphere caused by misunderstanding.

"Is...is that so?"

"Yes, Li En is right."

"I'm sorry, Master Xingling, I misunderstood you!"

"Okay, La Luen, please allow me to call you that. You can also call me Li En."

Diana, who is not very good at communication due to her upbringing, and Laluen, who is very nervous because of being alone in Guihai Maru Temple for a long time, the two of them communicate with each other stumblingly.

Li En, who originally wanted to let the two of them communicate, decisively took over this responsibility.

"Okay... okay first Li En... Li En."

"Ah."

Li En smiled slightly and nodded to Diana beside him.

An inexplicable sense of tacit understanding made Diana immediately understand what he meant, and then she took a step back and handed the communication to Li En.
