On the shores of the azure Aegean Sea, there is one of the world's most famous mountains, the Olympus.

This sacred and precipitous mountain range, said to have been the place where the gods lived in ancient Greek mythology, is a true kingdom of heaven.

Snowy in winter and leafy in summer.

When the sun rises, the sacred peaks are splendoured by the dawn. As the sun sets, the glorious peaks are filled with a romantic sunset.

It's December, and it's cold.

Mount Olympus, in particular, drops by one degree Celsius for every 200 meters of climbing.

In such a cold climate, very few climbers choose to go up the mountain.

However, at this time, there are several small black dots slowly climbing on the huge and sacred mountainside of Mount Olympus. Against the backdrop of the white snow in the middle of the mountain, a few small black dots resemble a few black sesame seeds on a white-flour steamed bun.

"Hey, I said boss, we've reached the mountainside, do we want to keep climbing?"

Heggs gasped, his voice muffled from his thick mask.

He struggled to reach out the thermometer with his thick bearskin gloved hand and cried out in horror: "It's already minus twenty-three degrees Celsius, and this is only on the mountainside." If you climb to the top of the mountain, the temperature will be minus thirty or forty degrees. ”

Heggs waved his hand and said loudly: "No, Lao Tzu won't climb anymore, going up the mountain in this weather is looking for death." ”

Heggs lived at the foot of Mount Olympus, and since he was a child, he has been a part-time tour guide, often taking some tourists up the mountain to earn labor fees.

He knew that the best time to go up the mountain would be from May to September, when the summit was still covered with thick snow, but only at the top.

Not only is the view from the bottom of the mountain and the mountainside still beautiful, but the temperature is also very comfortable, and it is easy to catch a large sum of money from the gringos.

The last thing Heges likes is to take guests up the mountain in winter, and those who live at the bottom of the mountain know that going up the mountain in winter is a gamble with death, and winning or losing is not cost-effective.

Money is important, but life is even more important, and Heggs doesn't want to use his life to make money, because that often means that he has a life to earn and no life to spend.

I don't know which saint once said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be traded. If there is, it only means that you are too poor.

This was the case with Heggs, for example, when a guest offered him fifteen times the price to lead him up the mountain, so he beckoned his two companions up the mountain with him.

The other two white men were Heggs's companions, and they were a pair of brothers with a strong bear-like stature and strength.

The two brothers, Heges and Bear, both carry shotguns and sharp Damascus knives at their waists, making them easy to deal with any beast in the snow.

However, the most important duty of a mountain guide is not to be a bodyguard, but to safely take guests up the mountain and then take them down the mountain safely.

Only after the guest is actually taken down the mountain, the guest will pay the balance of the payment.

Otherwise, they will only get a 10% deposit, and they will ruin their reputation.

If you lose your reputation as a mountain leader, you can only starve to death.

After Heggs finished speaking, he saw that the figure in the thick white jacket in front of him did not stop for half a minute, and did not seem to hear his words, and still insisted on climbing up.

It was a strange boss, very strange.

Hegus had never actually seen him, he wrapped himself in a thick down jacket and jacket, wore a cold-proof hood, his face was covered with a thick beard, and a pair of sunglasses were on his nose.

With such a fully armed appearance, no one could see his face.

What Hegers dislikes the most is this kind of tourist, who doesn't even want to be seen by people, either because the person is inconvenient to be seen, or because the person has bad intentions.

Either way, it's not a good thing.

However, this strange boss was too generous to pay half of the money upfront, and the remaining half was given as soon as he returned.

Fifteen times the pay, enough to cover a month of climbing the mountain day and night in the peak season.

Heges thought about it for a while, and finally called out to his two companions and accompanied the boss up the mountain.

Seeing that the boss ignored him, Heggs frowned, and snorted in trouble.

Sure enough, this kind of mysterious guest is the most difficult to serve, and he refuses to listen to people at all.

He trotted up, his snow boots sinking deep into the snow, and it was only with great difficulty that he caught up with the boss who was in charge.

The boss turned his head, and under the white velvet cold hat, he had a pair of dark sunglasses and a full beard, and other than that, he could only see a hooked nose.

"What?" he asked, puzzled, as he looked at Heggs, who was standing in front of him.

His voice sounded very empty, obviously not loud, but it seemed to echo faintly among the snowy mountains.

Heges and his two companions were startled and hurriedly gestured for him to whisper. On snowy mountains, a little louder can cause an avalanche.

When encountering an avalanche, it is basically equivalent to death and no life.

Two faint white mist came out from under the boss's hooked nose, and he sneered: "What are you afraid of? If I don't open my mouth, the snow on the whole mountain will not dare to collapse a little." ”

Hearing this, Heggs and his two partners glanced at each other, and each saw the irritation in the other's eyes.

What I hate the most is this kind of boss, self-righteous, thinking that he can do anything, and he can't listen to their opinions at all.

On the snowy mountains, the guests who refuse to obey often kill everyone in the snowy mountains.

"Boss, I don't think we're going to keep climbing, I think we should take a break. ”

Heges walked up to the boss and winked at the two partners as he spoke.

On the snowy mountains, all kinds of strange things can happen, and the most common is that the guests lose control of their emotions and lose their minds.

People are suddenly exposed to cold temperatures, and it is easy to collapse after a long time. At this time, their bodies are cold and numb, but they will send wrong signals to the nervous system, which will be transmitted to the cranial nerves, and many strange fantasies will be generated.

People who die of cold often have a weird smile on their faces, and no one knows what they were thinking before they died cold.

For example, in the famous myth "The Little Match Girl", the little girl had countless beautiful fantasies in her mind before she died cold.

Of course, everyone is different, and the little girl thinks of a warm fireplace and a kind grandmother before she dies cold. As an adult, it is likely that all you want is to have a powerful and beautiful concubine, and that he is the king of the world.

In more than a dozen years of experience as a tour guide, Hecks and his two companions have also encountered a few times of guests who have broken down and gone crazy in the cold, which is not surprising.

As long as they are forcibly taken down the mountain, they are poured two sips of spirits, and then they are wiped with hot water, wrapped in a warm quilt, and slept by the fire.

So when Heggs heard some abnormal words from his boss, he thought that he had illusions because of the cold, and was ready to forcibly get him down the mountain with his companions.

"No, I'm going to keep climbing, I'm going to have to climb to the top of the mountain. I could feel them calling my name, calling me to the summit. ”

The boss did not hesitate to reject Heggs's offer, he looked up at the high peak, stretched out his right hand to the peak, and then clenched it into a fist.

"Boss, but it's too cold to continue going up the mountain, we have been walking for a long time, and most of our strength is exhausted, so we must sit down and eat something to recover our strength. ”

Heggs gestured to two of his companions, and the three of them surrounded the boss in the middle, ready to contain him.

"Cold? How can it be cold? I just feel that my whole body is on fire, and the heat makes me extremely uncomfortable. I have to go to the peak, and only the peak can cool my blood. You and the other three supported me to climb the mountain, and led me to become the king of the gods, and then you and others were named gods. ”

"King of the gods?"

Heges muttered, spread his hands to his two companions, and whispered, "Another crazy one." ”

The two companions gave him a helpless and somewhat happy look, and the guest was in a bad mood, so they could forcibly take him down the mountain, and the guest had to pay them the final payment, and the trip was over.

It is not up to them to end the climbing trip because they are guests.

Heggs pointed to the sky and whispered in surprise, "Ah, there's a plane!"

The boss looked up to see the sky.

At this moment, two of Herges's companions grabbed his arms one after the other behind the boss, and Herges took out a cotton belt and quickly tied the boss.

The boss lowered his head, his sunglasses were stained with snowflakes, and without a trace of struggle, he let the three of them tie up. 、

"Why?" he asked, no anger in his tone.

Heges was a little curious, but still familiar with the bondage, and the boss was tied up like a hairy crab.

"Boss, something is wrong with your spirit, we have to take you down the mountain. Don't worry, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep. ”

"Are you unwilling to protect me to climb the sacred mountain and take back the glory that belongs to me? Would you rather choose to be an ordinary mortal than have the courage to follow in my footsteps and become an immortal god?"

When Heggs heard this, his expression was visibly relaxed.

Just now he thought that he had misunderstood the boss, in case the boss was not really crazy, they forcibly took him down the mountain, and people would never pay the final payment.

Fortunately, he didn't misunderstand, this guy is really crazy, he really thinks of himself as the king of the gods, and he still wants to make them gods.

"You're not Zeus, why do you make us gods? Boss, obedient, we're going down the mountain. ”

Heges said casually, and then gestured for the two companions to pull the boss down the hill left and right, and he carried everyone's salute.

The two tall white youths laughed, and tried hard to prop up the boss, and then the boss didn't move like a thousand pounds of rock, but the two of them fell into the snow with half of their bodies because of too much force.

Heggs looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and before he could speak, he heard the boss suddenly laugh.

His laughter was so loud that it was like an ancient hurricane blowing out in an instant, resounding throughout the Olympus Mountains.

The thick snow on the top of the mountain began to fall in a rustle, and it was scattered by the cold wind, as if it were falling heavy goose feather snow.

"Who said I wasn't Zeus, who said I can't make you gods?"

The boss said in a cold voice: "You don't want to support me to inherit the throne of the god king, and you want to offend me, the crime is unforgivable." ”

As soon as the words fell, the black cotton cloth tied to his body turned into a black python.

The giant python had a triangular head, horns on its head and scales on its body, and a pair of cold ominous eyes stared coldly at the two white youths in the snow.

Then he bit one of the young men on the neck, and the tail pierced into the mouth of the other young man like the sharp tip of a spear.

The two screamed in horror, but only half a short cry came to them.

Pitch-black lines appeared on the neck of the young man who was bitten by the snake's head, which quickly spread throughout his body like a spider's web, and soon the young man turned into a puddle of black water.

The young man who was stabbed into the mouth by the snake's tail began to solidify from his head to his whole body, and finally turned into a black stone sculpture.

The boss stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the lifelike black stone sculpture turned into a cloud of black powder, forming a shocking contrast with the surrounding snow.

Heggs was stunned and frightened, even when he was held in his hands by the boss, he didn't wake up.

"My king's road, since there is no one to follow and support, it is okay to walk alone. But no one has witnessed my ascension to the throne of God-king, and there is always something missing. Anyway, I would like to let you visit the glorious moment of my ascension to the throne. Tremble, mortal!"

The boss is very fast, and has completely surpassed the speed of ordinary people. On the snow behind the snow, he stepped out a hundred meters in one step, and after a dozen steps, he reached the highest peak at the top of the mountain.

The peak is snow-capped, like a snow-white hat, but if you look closely, it looks more like a snow-stained crown.

The boss stuck Heggs in the thick snow, then reached out to cut through the snow at the peak, revealing a golden crown.

The crown is inlaid with countless precious stones, carved with countless intricate patterns, and at the top is a fist-sized gemstone.
