Chapter 53: The Orphan~)

After Zoe left, Reed didn't stay long. He went directly to Mount Targon. The death of Panson, the "war protoss", made him realize that those who would gain the power of the protoss in the future seemed to have been born at this time.

.

Targon is the top of the world in Runeterra. The towering mountain is made entirely of the hardest rocks. It is bathed in the scorching sun all year round and always overlooks the mountains at its feet. It is majestic and unparalleled in the world.

The tribe that lives near Mount Targon is the Rakkor tribe. They have lived in the mountains at the foot of Mount Targon for an unknown number of years. Zoe was once a naughty little girl in this tribe.

Reed passed through the portal portal and soon came to Mount Targon. On the westernmost peak of the Targon Mountains, there was also an old friend living there.

Reed hiked up the steep Targon Mountains. Everywhere here showed a style that was different from other areas. The rocks on the climbing road were carved with totems of the sun wheel. The dominance of the Solar Sect over the Rakkor tribe was deeply rooted.

The brightness of the bright moon can only be hidden in the deep mountains.

Reed continued to move forward among the mountains. The steep mountain roads were not dangerous for him. The narrow paths opened by humans were actually quite wide for him to walk on.

"Wow~Wow! Wow!"

A cry of a baby caught Reed's attention. At this time, the weather had entered winter, and the towering mountains were already covered with ice and snow, which was obviously not suitable for babies to survive. Reed found the place where the cry was heard on the snow.

source.

The first thing he saw was a man and a woman hugging each other. The crying baby was firmly protected in the middle. It could be seen that they were trying hard to give the baby more warmth.

But their bodies were already cold.

"Poor kid."

Reed walked over and picked up the child who was crying non-stop. This was a little girl, not a Rakkor tribe member, but an outsider who had traveled a long distance.

For other countries on the Valoran continent, Mount Targon is located in an uninhabited land far away from civilization. For most people, it is just an unreachable legend, and most of the people who will travel long distances to come here

They are all dreamers, madmen and adventurers.

The parents of the girl in front of me should obviously not be one of them. After all, I have never heard of adventurers taking their infant children to challenge the mountains far away from civilization. They must have encountered difficulties.

"Wow~wow~cluck~"

Being held in Reed's arms, the lovely girl gradually stopped crying, and the warmth from Reed's body warmed her.

This made the child, who didn't know what death was, or even what parents were, smile. She stared at Reid quietly with her big eyes.

The girl seemed to be wondering. This warm embrace seemed different from usual, and the creature holding her was also slightly different. It seemed to have more fluff than the previous one, but it made her feel warmer.

"Who are you?! What did you do to them?! Damn it! Let that kid go! You stuffed monster!"

Reed was holding the girl in his arms and was glaring with her, but a sharp shout interrupted their actions. The infant child was startled by the sharp shout and seemed to start wailing again.

He had a tendency to burst into tears, and Reed was irritated by the visitor's bad name.

"The title of stuffed monster is really rude. Even if you are ignorant, you should at least be polite, right?"

Reed doesn't like to use the illusion of changing into a human form because he doesn't want to be seen as an old man who is about to die soon, but this does not mean that he likes to be regarded as a stuffed monster. These people are a bit too useless.

So polite.

"You can still talk?! Did you kill them?!"

Reed was discovered by a group of hunters from the Burning Sun Sect. Some of them were carrying crossbows, and some were carrying short-throwing spears. Their clothes were painted with golden sun disk markings, and they were covered with thick clothing.

White long hooded cloak.

"Of course not. You can come over and check to see if there are any wounds on their bodies. I just happened to be passing by and heard the baby crying and came here to take a look."

Reed reluctantly stepped aside. The group of six Sun Sect hunters did not relax their vigilance towards Reed, but one of them still came up to check the body on the ground, and sure enough, no wounds were found.

"It was cold and hunger that took away their lives."

The hunter from the Burning Sun Sect shook his head, obviously feeling very sympathetic to what happened to the two outsiders.

"The sun is shining brightly."

The other five Sun Sect hunters also felt sorry for this. The mountains had swallowed up too many outsiders like this, but this was the first time they had seen one with a child like this.

"Strange creature, why do you come to the territory of the Burning Sun Sect? Please give that child to us, and we will raise her up. She should grow up in human society."

Although it was confirmed that the two outsiders were not killed by Reed, they were still wary of this strange creature because the unknown often meant danger, and there were too many dangers hidden in the mountains.

"I came here to visit old friends, not to go to the territory of your Burning Sun Sect. I came here to climb Mount Targon."

Reed glanced at the little girl in his arms. The girl wanted to cry just now, but stopped abruptly. At this time, she was reaching out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the down on Reed's face. This made Reed

De held her a little further away.

"But one thing you said is right. This child should indeed be raised by you. She should grow up among humans. I hope you can raise her well."

Reed handed the child in his arms to the hunter who was inspecting the body. He seemed to be a little older, but his body was still strong and he did not look like he would die early. He should be able to raise the child.

The old hunter took the child from Reed. He seemed a little at a loss. It seemed that he had no experience in taking care of children. He might be a real lonely old man. This made Reed start to doubt whether he was reliable.

"Tornado is not that easy to climb. Are you going to climb Mount Targon without any equipment?"

Seeing that Reed didn't seem to have any ill intentions, the hunters of the Burning Sun Sect also relaxed a little. The old hunter kindly wanted to remind Reed.

They have encountered too many adventurers who have come to climb Mount Targon. The road is full of corpses of ignorant people, but Reed is the first to come empty-handed.
