The ethnic group living on Mount Targon calls itself the Rakkor tribe. This is just a name, similar to the Eskimos, rather than a racial distinction. The main range of their lives is the area below the mountainside of Mount Targon. The ordinary Rakkor tribe basically
They all live at the foot of the mountain, where there are four distinct seasons and they can farm and graze.
The elite of the Rakkor tribe, members of the Sun Cult, live close to the mountainside. The name Rakkor means "the last sun tribe". The Rakkor people worship the power of the sun more than anything else.
Those who are devoted to this faith are the Cult of the Sun.
Not all Rakkor are worshipers of the Sun, and there are exceptions. Those who have dedicated their lives to the religion are called Sun Cults. Those known as Luna Cults secretly worship the light of the Moon,
They carefully hide their beliefs from being discovered by the Sun Cult, who not only have a large number of people, but also regard them as dangerous heretics.
The Sun Sect believes that the sun is the source of all life. For them, all other lights are false and will threaten the future of the Rakkor people. If it is a threat, it must be eliminated in advance, so the Sun Sect actively
In training the Templars, the priests warned their people that when their sun was destroyed, everything would be plunged into darkness, so the Warriors of the Sun must be prepared to fight those who seek to extinguish the sun's light.
However, according to Diana's discovery, a long time ago, the two sects of Lieyang and Bright Moon used to live together peacefully regardless of each other, worshiping countless miracles in the starry sky. Later, the two sects turned against each other. The reasons are so far,
Diana didn't even investigate any clues. Too much information about the Lunar Sect has been erased, and it is no longer easy to find the remains of the Lunar Sect in the underground caves.
The group of people did not go to the flat territory of the Rakor tribe, and neither Diana nor Leona had any intention of involving ordinary Rakor tribe members in the dispute.
Lin Jiu could only give up his plan with some disappointment. He originally planned to promote the Church of the Sun and the Empire of the Sun to the Lakor tribe and carry out a bottom-up reform. Several people and two mission cores did not have this idea.
, then it should be done from the top down, just get rid of all the problematic guys at the top.
"Oh my god, it smells so delicious!" As they crossed the plain, the group stopped and had a meal. Lin Jiu held the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and sighed as he ate the food that Isabella had carefully prepared.
Not only did Isabella learn the essence of Xia's cooking skills, but the ingredients were really good. This beast, Aibik, is a rare herbivore that lives on the plains under Mount Targon. Its skin is as rough as rocks.
, just like rhinoceros skin, and the whole thing looks like a combination of cattle and sheep. Under the rough skin, there is meat full of milky flavor. After Isabella's cooking, it immediately became a delicacy.
Even if the beasts on Mount Targon are of different races, they all have the same characteristics. The thick layer of fat and fluffy fur can insulate the cold wind and snow. Their unique cloven hooves can stand firmly on steep slopes or narrow roads, or
The barbed claws can embed deeply into the ice.
After a good meal, the group climbed up Mount Targon. As the altitude continued to rise, Lin Jiu and others gradually saw the Rakor warriors who were different from ordinary Rakor tribesmen and belonged to the Burning Sun Sect.
.
Without Diana being exposed, there would be no obstruction on Mount Targon. And they had Leona leading the way, so it was very unlikely that they would be hindered. You can see that these Rakkor warriors are holding gorgeous golden spears in their hands.
, and there is also a sword for close combat hanging on the outside of the armor.
The weapon style of the Lunar Sect is completely different from that of the Sun Sect. It can be seen from the weapons in Diana's hand that their weapon style design pays more attention to elegance and slenderness. It is easy to conceal and carry, and is suitable for operations in the dark night.
As the climbing height increased, the road became steeper. They had already walked through many artificially dug plank roads. These plank roads were created by the Raqor people along the original trend of the rocks and carved stone paths and stairs in the lower parts of the mountain peaks. At the same time,
Thick curtains were also hung with tied ropes to block the long wind and snow.
That's right, even the lower part of the mountain, where you can already see the height of clouds and mist on the edge, can only be considered a low place for Mount Targon. Going up, there is even more extreme weather and wind and snow, so Lakor
People have carved maze-like passages and tunnels into the mountains to avoid wind and snow.
Lin Jiu saw the living environment of the Rakkor people on the mountain. They carved out their houses, homes, bridges and temples based on the mountains. The dome feature of the circular stone chamber symbolizes the starry sky creatures that created this world. This unique
The living environment, how should I put it, in Lin Jiu's opinion is "Caveman Plus".
Both Leona and Diana knew the location of the Solar Temple. The entrance to the Solar Temple was located on the east side of the mountain and was made of marble wrapped in gold wire. The Solar Cultists carefully carved out the windows of the temple.
Let the sunlight shine into the inner hall accurately at the equinoxes and solstices of the year.
I heard Leona say that when there is a dispute on Mount Targon, the Sun Priest will meditate in the most remote sanctuary in the temple, go on hunger strike and deprive himself of water for several weeks, relying only on the energy of the growth of all things, the energy of the sun to continue.
life.
Lin Jiu:Photosynthesis?
"Are you going to go back to the Burning Sun Sect first, or come with us?" Lin Jiu planned to complete the side mission first. If nothing else, the Burning Sun Sect may have already learned the information they brought.
Since there are abnormalities in the Burning Sun Sect, they will definitely take action. The more actions they take, the more traces will be exposed. Of course, Lin Jiu will give them the opportunity to take action.
As the goddess of dawn, Leona has been in the Sun Sect for so long. She can only vaguely detect abnormalities but cannot discover clues. It would be difficult to investigate the clues seriously. It would give the other party a sense of threat and allow them to take the initiative to expose them.
is the better solution.
Of course, the main reason is that Lin Jiu wanted to complete the long-term mission more perfectly, so he gave Leona a little consideration. Otherwise, no matter how deep you hide it, as long as you massacre the people of the Burning Sun Sect, you will definitely not be able to hide it.
The Burning Sun Sect is on the east side of the peak of Mount Titan, and the entrance to the Bright Moon Sect's ruins is on the west side of the mountain. The road around from the east to the west is extremely dangerous. With the temperature and the influence of wind and snow, the four directions are very dangerous.
For those below the level of strength, their lives would be in danger simply by taking this path.
There are more than just threats from extreme climate on Mount Targon. Creatures that survive in this extreme environment, in this place where the power of the stars gather the most, often evolve into terrifying monsters. It is difficult for the Solar Sect to completely occupy Targon.
In the area below the mountainside, in addition to terrain factors, these monsters hidden in the ice and snow are also a problem.
For example, Lin Jiu and his party now encountered an ice-armored monster. This monster was about the size of a calf. Its skin was covered with thick ice armor and shone with a cold light. The ice armor was covered with cracks and uneven spots.
The texture is like the traces left by the erosion of time and glaciers. The limbs are thick and powerful, like four huge icicles, and the ground makes a loud noise with every step.
The monster's limbs are covered with sharp ice blades and sharp ice spikes. These ice spikes allow the monster to ignore the steepness of the mountain and walk on flat ground on the cliff.
On the steep and steep mountain road, they encountered such a monster, not even one of them. At a glance, they were surrounded by more than a dozen ice-armored monsters.
