It may not always be cool in the north, and it may not always be warm in the south - even if it should be so under normal circumstances.
The far east of the empire is a barren wasteland. The far east of the alliance is a snow-capped mountain covered with ice and snow all year round, causing countless creatures to retreat.
Its name is Baishen Mountain. Legend has it that gods live on the mountain, who are born with nature and live as long as the heaven and earth. It has witnessed the prosperity of the demon clan, the rise of mankind, and the establishment of empires and alliances. No matter what happens in the world, it has always watched.
Everything, neither giving advice nor intervening.
——Of course, this is just the content of the story.
As the "king" of the demon clan, Anya inherited not only a name and the "powers" given to her by the alliance's tradition, but also some vague memories that she herself could not tell whether they were true or false. Some of them came from the alliance.
The original founders also come from every "Demon King" in the past.
In the past few years, they neither interfered with her normal life nor had any verification value. Anya once thought that the status quo of the alliance and empire could last for many years, enough for her to spend her life peacefully. Then, according to the legend of the Far East—
—Return to the natural reincarnation, cleanse all memories of the past, and be reborn with a new identity.
Yuffie once explained to her that the so-called "reincarnation" may not be just a false imagination.
In the Aiur continent, after the body of the intelligent creature decays, the souls will most likely be guided to the corresponding outer plane according to their beliefs or behaviors during their lifetime. However, the magic of this continent is extremely active, and there is no one living in the main plane.
There are "gods" outside the surface, and the soul that has lost its attachment is likely to be integrated into the natural magic cycle and exist as the 'raw material' for new souls.
The fact that she was chosen to become the "King" is probably because she inherited part of the souls of the previous "Demon Kings". In this way, it makes sense to a certain extent that she retains the fragments of those memories.
.
Anya breathed out gently and put aside the memories of the past. Ever since she separated from Yuffie and Lin, it was always easy for her to recall these things - she knew that she was actually far from mature enough, but there were some things that she had to do.
Just to complete it.
That's exactly what a certain "memory" told her.
There is a creature on Shirakami Mountain. It is difficult to say whether it is a "god" or an extremely powerful monster. No one knows how long she has lived there, and no one knows what she usually does. In memory, the initial creation of the alliance
The author once climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountains alone, met this legendary creature, and with the help of "gods", he integrated the originally scattered monster clan that was fighting endlessly.
The memory does not contain specific details, and Anya has no way of knowing what means the other party used to gain the approval of the "gods". The only thing that is clearer is what the "god" left behind when the two of them parted.
Discourse -
"If one day your descendants need help, just let them come to me with the same determination as you."
However, what does "the same determination" refer to? Is it experiencing the same difficulties and risks, or holding similar wishes or goals? The memory told her the words of the "god", but there was no memory of her experience of this.
Everything, the mood of the founder of the alliance at that time.
On her own, even if she counted the stars in the sky, it was still too overestimating her ability to compete with the elders of the alliance. Ms. Luo Zhen and Renee did not intend to interfere in this matter. Another mysterious person she knew was mysterious enough.
Mr. "Asan" of Suzulan Village will probably not leave the village either. The girl can only place all her hopes on the memories passed down hundreds of years ago and the goodwill of the "god".
The wind and snow in front of her became more and more fierce. Anya wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, stopped and looked at the doll girl floating effortlessly beside her.
"That's enough." She said loudly, trying to overcome the howling cold wind. "That senior climbed to the top of the mountain alone. Maybe I have to do this to prove... that I have the same skills as him.
Thoughts."
Man Tianxing shook his head slightly, neither blaming the girl nor showing concern, "I understand. Do you need me to wait for you to come back?"
Anya tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head.
"No need, Sister Mantianxing." She raised a relaxed smile to cover up the uneasiness in her heart, "I believe in that "god", so please believe in me."
"Okay." The doll girl lifted up her skirt and bowed to her in mid-air to say goodbye, "Then I will return to the alliance first and confirm the current situation there. Mother and Sister Renee have their own reasons for not wanting to intervene, but as "
"Friend, I have the obligation to continue to help you."
"So," she finally said, "I'm waiting for you to come back safely."
Anya responded softly, raised her head, and no longer looked back at the scenery and the doll girl behind her. She walked along the snow-buried path, braved the wind and snow, and walked forward firmly and hard.
The sharp cold wind seemed to cut through the skin, and the flying snowflakes covered everything a few feet away. Even though she was wearing thick clothes, the cold still penetrated her gloves and boots, gradually freezing her hands and feet. However, the girl's heart
Still maintaining warmth, as if there was a voice always accompanying her, guiding her where to go.
That may be the memory of the first generation of "Demon King". However, Anya is more willing to believe that it includes Gypsophila, Yuffie, Lin, Leia, and many many people who cared for and helped her, left behind in her
Thoughts around me.
Because that's where her current beliefs come from.
The wind and snow continued, but at some point, the girl no longer felt cold and tired. She moved her steps semi-automatically, not knowing how far she had gone, and not caring how long she had to go. As for whether she would be safe.
When he returned, he was already forgotten by the girl.
At this moment, a cold, gentle voice without any emotion came into her ears.
"Back off, Winter."
The voice was very soft, but it seemed to be everywhere. The roaring storm instantly lost its momentum and returned to harmless snowflakes, slowly falling on the girl's head. The girl squinted her eyes and looked around hard, but could not find anything that looked like a human figure.
exist.
"Lord God of Baishen Mountain, are you?" She tried to move her stiff lips to make the words clearer, "I... need your help."
"I am a monster, a messenger of nature, the incarnation of snow, and the eternal winter, but I am not a god." The voice answered the girl's question calmly, "If you want to seek help from the gods, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person.
