The office door was pushed open, and Ace stood inside, waiting for a long time, looking through. Louis walked over and sat at the desk, speaking lightly, "Alright, give me the report."Ace immediately said, "All the supplies are ready, except for something called 'never-melting snowflake.' Although it's a bit elusive, we speculate that it can be found on the Louki Range."The Louki Range is the world's never-melting snow mountain range, with an altitude of over 6,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest mountain range in the world. Additionally, it is covered in snow year-round, with avalanches and snowstorms frequently occurring, making it far from a rare phenomenon.Ace continued, "We think, first of all, we can climb to the summit to search, then report the results to you. As for Helen, this shouldn't be a difficult task for her. She was performing well on her mission until this morning when we suddenly lost contact. No signals were emitted, and her location disappeared.
Facing Louis's cold gaze, Joshua felt a slight tremor throughout his body. After a moment, he snorted and said coldly, "Who would break their promise? Even humans should not consider me a treacherous snake. I know how to keep my word!"Louis could sense the panic in Joshua's voice. He smiled a little and then let Joshua go.Joshua immediately moved frantically to the side as if he didn't want any more contact with Louis.However, he didn't run out of the cave.Louis pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "Do you live in this cave?"Joshua jumped up immediately, saying, "Finally, you've thought about it, you ignorant human... Huh, you've just invaded my territory, and you don't allow me to bite you?"Louis laughed, seemingly indifferent. He didn't show remorse for intruding into someone's home—not precisely someone's house, but a snake's home!Joshua's eyes glared at Louis as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.Louis, however, was not afraid. He suddenly changed the subject
The swirling snowstorm rose, the sky darkened ominously, and the snowstorm continued to rage, day after day as if there were no nights of respite.Louis squinted at the dark night ahead and then spoke in a low voice to Joshua, "What kind of monster are you talking about?"Joshua seemed tired. "I'm exhausted. Alright, I give up. I don't know what kind of monster it is, but tonight we're probably going to be its dinner. Or it might even disdain us and not eat us but leave our bodies on the snow until we're buried, and no one knows about us anymore..."Louis interrupted, "Joshua, it seems like you need a mindset shift. You sound too negative."Joshua immediately jumped up, his serpent tail trembling. "Whose fault is this?! If you had listened to me, we wouldn't be hungry and scared in the middle of a snowstorm."Louis calmly continued, "Not hungry."Joshua gave Louis a sharp look.Louis continued nonchalantly, "Not scared either."Joshua paused. "..."Joshua didn't say anything more, but
Louis couldn't help but glance at Joshua's whip for a moment before asking, "What is this whip made of?"Joshua chuckled, "Don't overthink it. This whip has been with me since I was born.""Oh," Louis nodded, not saying anything more.Just now, he had actually thought that the whip was made from the bones of Joshua's kind.The monster, upon seeing Joshua, immediately roared angrily.The ear-piercing sound echoed, sounding like a horse.Its front legs stomped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and the snow continued to avalanche.However, this snow was no match for Joshua.He simply bent under his body, crawling out of the snow.At the same time, countless giant snow serpents appeared, lunging at the monster, seemingly formed from snow but as flexible as living creatures.The monster roared, swung its frosty tongue, and attacked Joshua."Pung!"Before the tongue could touch Joshua, a magic barrier formed a circle outside, stopping it.At this moment, Joshua held everything and
Louis glanced at Ace and then shook his head, speaking in a low voice, "Slept too much, feeling a bit dizzy."Ace chuckled and walked over to Louis, saying, "Then get up." He proceeded to pull Louis out of bed.Louis yawned and headed to the bathroom. Before closing the door, he reminded me, "Take Gabriel to my office when you're done. Everything is ready."Ace nodded and left.Louis was quick in getting ready, presenting a neat appearance as he walked out. By this time, Gabriel had entered the office.He remained silent, just like Ace, who was standing beside him, both wearing cold and stern expressions throughout the day.The office door opened, and Louis walked in. He looked at Ace, then at Gabriel, and smiled slightly, saying, "Gabriel, I don't know what you desire, but do you want to see this world?"Gabriel was momentarily surprised and replied, "You've asked me that before; of course, I want to."Other angels had eyes, noses, mouths, and ears. They could hear and see every
Maya heard number 1 speak like that and couldn't help but suppress a chuckle, her eyes glinting with hidden meaning. Then she suddenly said, "Number 1, will you always be loyal to me no matter what happens, right?"The angels here were also unaware of the true nature of this world. They were created by Maya from mud nurtured by life-giving water. They held a profound belief passed down from the World Tree that they must protect the world. Although Maya had created them, she couldn't be certain how these angels would choose between her and their beliefs.Not only Number 1 but other angels, upon hearing Maya's question, also expressed surprise. They looked at each other, then simultaneously knelt down and replied, "We will always be faithful to you no matter what happens.""What if I command you to attack this world?" Maya suddenly said. Almost immediately, the atmosphere became strangely tense. The angels remained on their knees, silent. Maya, still standing in front of them, he
Louis opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was the dim ceiling of the library. He blinked as if trying to regain his thoughts, pulling himself out of the profound shock he had just experienced. He slowly sat up and realized he was lying on a pile of white papers.At that moment, a piece of paper drifted down and landed in front of him, with words moving on its surface."You can do it, the chosen one."Perhaps this was the message the creature had sent to him. Louis touched his forehead, still feeling a bit bewildered and unable to collect himself immediately. Meanwhile, the wind picked up, lifting the papers into the air creating an ethereal space.On the other side, Ace lost in thought about where to find Louis, was surprised when Louis suddenly appeared, looking somewhat dazed. Ace rushed over to help Louis up from the ground, noticing that he seemed unresponsive. Frowning, Ace waved his hand in front of Louis, saying, "Hey, wake up! What were you doing in the library?"Louis
Upon hearing the objects talking in the room, Louis couldn't help but furrow his brow. His current task was to choose one of these items.Just a while ago, these items were arguing loudly, and now they fell silent as if awaiting his decision. However, Louis couldn't forget the scene of their heated argument.He even felt that if he wasn't careful, he might end up listening to the chosen object bickering all day long. He slightly furrowed his brow and glanced around.The objects remained silent, enveloped in a tense atmosphere.Louis slowly entered, remembering the creaking floor from earlier, and his steps were notably lighter.At this moment, it seemed like something couldn't wait any longer. A voice echoed after Louis, "Hey, ignore me, and you'll regret it!"It was a shiny golden horn, dazzling in color, and seemed rather sharp.Louis just offered a polite smile, saying nothing more, and continued inside. He was sure not to choose an object that had just been arguing.The horn h
