"I'm sorry, Ms. Youkai." Anya was not discouraged by the other party's answer, and as the cold wind subsided, her words gradually became fluent, "I followed the agreement made by the founder of the alliance four hundred years ago, the original 'Demon King', to come here and ask for help from the gods who live here. ”

"What do you want?" The voice asked faintly.

"I ...... Not so sure. Anya hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to express the confusion in her heart, "I don't know what I can do, and I don't know if the future will follow the predetermined trajectory." It's just that...... If there is any possibility, I would like to prevent the "prophecy" I have seen from coming true-"

The snow began to blow, and the response seemed to be even colder.

"What I'm asking is, what do you want?" There was no anger in her voice, but Anya seemed to feel invisible pressure coming from all directions, "It's not about everything in the world, but the most fundamental expectation in your heart." ”

Anya bowed her head.

She understood what "gods" meant. Whether it is maintaining the stability of the alliance or preventing a possible war between the two countries, these are things she really wants. However, this expectation is mixed with the "responsibility" she has given herself.

- If she wasn't the "king" of the demon race, but just an ordinary human girl like she was a child, what kind of mood would she have in the face of these scenes, and what kind of actions would she make?

Or what is it about her that she would risk her here?

The wind and snow became more and more violent, as if the "gods" were already a little impatient. But the girl was not anxious, she stood quietly, carefully arranging what she had to say, and then spoke softly to the empty storm.

"I used to yearn to leave Xiyang City to see, to get to know my hometown, to see the scenery of the Alliance and the Empire, and to meet more people from different places." Anya pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, "So, when I heard about them and met them, I made an unrealistic request." And they agreed without much thought, and my wish became a reality. ”

"Go on." Feng Xue replied lightly.

Then we set out on a journey together, until not so long ago. I've seen a lot of things I didn't know before, some of which made me happy and some of which made me sad or regretful. The girl looked at the fluttering snowflakes, but her eyes did not focus on any point, "But in any case, it was a pleasant trip." ”

The wind and snow seem to have eased a little more than before, and it may just be a girl's delusion. White flakes of snow swirled around her, but no longer fell on her, like a piece of living armor made of feathers.

"I know that there is no perfect world, and there is no eternal peace. They know this too, but they are still trying to change something. I don't want to let their hard work go to waste, and I don't want to see them feel down. The girl swallowed, making her voice clearer, "I'm not good at fighting and mysticism, so I can't help them directly." So...... I wanted to do something, in the way I could. ”

"You chose to come to me." The voice was still cold, but it contained a hint of softness, "Tell me your reasons." ”

Anya tilted her head slightly and answered without hesitation.

"Because I believe that the original founders of the alliance must have been in the same mood as me when they came here to ask for your help." She folded her hands over her chest, feeling a throbbing in her soul, "He's not for power, not for nothing, but for ...... I don't want some people to be disappointed. ”

The wind and snow slowly subsided until it completely stopped. The flakes of snow in the air swirled and condensed into one, forming the figure of a woman dressed in white.

"It looks like you've seen your heart, and that's good." The woman spoke, her voice the same as before, only a little less mysterious, "I accept your request, then, your name." ”

"My name is Anya, Lord God." The girl stretched out her hands to the woman, palms up, "Thank you." ”

The white-clothed Snow Maiden quietly walked up to the girl and placed her right hand on the palms of those hands.

"Kanna, that's my name." There was a cold touch on that hand, but it didn't make the girl feel cold, "Let's go, take me where you want to go." ”

……

Nearly two months later, Xiyang City is still as peaceful, noisy and energetic as Anya remembers.

The changes that had taken place in the Empire could not reach the ears of these ordinary residents, or even if they did, the monsters' power-hungry nature, in other words, not good at politics and intrigue, made them unaware of the possibility that had not yet happened.

Even if there is a war, I am afraid that their first reaction is to fight back together. As for whether it can be won...... Who knows if you haven't tried?

Finely flakes of snow fall from the sky and melt as soon as they touch the ground. This light snow came a little earlier than usual, but it's not uncommon for occasional anomalies to occur on this magically active continent. The vast majority of residents don't care about the snowflakes that are harmless at the moment.

Anya walked straight through Caiyun Avenue, the widest avenue in the outer city, and stopped as she approached the inner city gate. Most of the soldiers guarding the outer city didn't recognize her, but the guards in the inner city didn't—she remembered that the "doll" made by the stars lived in the palace in her place.

For such a long time, no clues have been discovered, in addition to the starry sky, or Ms. Luo Zhen's excellent skills, you can also see the attitude of the alliance elders towards her, the "demon king". Either they didn't care about her situation at all, or they saw something unusual and deliberately hid it. Perhaps, they don't think that Anya is capable of doing anything "big", but just carried out an inconsequential "escape".

"Want to get in?" The god silently appeared from her side and asked faintly.

"Please, Ms. Kanna."

The "gods" of Hakujin Mountain stretched out their hands as white as ice and snow, and even slightly transparent, covering Anya's small palms. The girl felt a chill in her palm, and then in an instant, it was as if her whole body had lost its substance.

The next moment, the body's consciousness returned, and the girl found that she had returned to the inner city, in the same grove where she had left. Not only that, but the starry sky that was separated from her at the foot of Baishen Mountain was looking at her with a smile in his eyes at this time, with a look of satisfaction and appreciation in his eyes.
