====== Ashveil ====== The information here comes from a [[https://www.hoyolab.com/article/44327320|post]] made by the official account on Hoyolab on 25 March 2026. ---- "[Data Analysis] La Mancha's popularity is skyrocketing across the entire network. Correlation with the 'Tough Guy with Soft Heart' tag has exceeded 85%. Analyzing new trend: 'War Wound / Wholesome'..." "The boss is so huge on the internet right now. 'No one can say no to a lead hunter who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, who bears scars himself yet keeps everything under protection! No one!'" "... Art transcends life, or so they say." Ashveil's lip twitches, his smile hovering somewhere between a wince of pain and a wistful sigh. "Haha, the kids these days sure have wild imaginations..." ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil1.jpg?200|}} ==== The Three Galaxy Rangers ==== And so it is said that La Mancha the hero made friends far and wide, swearing brotherhood with the two mighty champions "Bear" and "Owl," and uniting the Galaxy Rangers from all corners of the cosmos. Upon hearing that the Lord Ravager Zulo was leading a horde of bandits to wreak havoc across the universe, La Mancha's brows furrowed in righteous fury. "How dare this scoundrel run rampant!" he roared. Then and there, he devised a strategy to capture the ringleader, swearing to take Zulo's head. On the eve of the assassination, the garrison was aglow with candlelight. The three of them took a blood oath, swearing to the heavens: "From this day forth, we three shall share both fortune and woe, united in life and death!" > **Rappa** > Inheriting the valor of my forerunners, I pledge this body to the righteous path, to vanquish every last fiendling! > **Narrator** > Upon reading this, the detective slurping his noodles suddenly let out an earth-shattering cough, his face flushing beet red. To floor a veteran of instant food with an iron stomach is no small feat. Please think twice before attempting the "Super Spicy" challenge. ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil2.jpg?200|}} ==== High-Cloud Squadron ==== **Chapter 2581:**\\ A Vidyadhara Mystery Shocks the High Elder, The Just Wolf Outwits the Chicken Thief. "What with the chicken gone, what's left for us to eat? Mister N, what's your take?"\\ "Simple. I'll just order some takeout on Xianzhou Eats." > **Narrator** > Even with such a massive IP, there's a character modeled after a detective. With just a single line, he already reveals his true colors. > **Ashveil** > Mister N wasn't even around back then. How come he's part of the script? ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil3.jpg?200|}} ==== The Dovebrook Grand Hotel Conspiracy ==== "Dr. Primitive's genetic records. Going once, going twice..."\\ Faced with this uninvited guest at the gala of greed, the scheming masterminds, interstellar tycoons, and legendary hitmen all paled in horror: "Something's wrong! This oppressive feeling... Just who exactly are you!?" "Awaken, O pitch-black sins stained upon my body!" From beneath the cuffs of his perfectly tailored suit, a deluge of darkness burst forth from his arm. "Take this an an opportunity to relearn the meaning of reverence!" > **Boothill** > Holy fud— *cough, cough, cough* It's never that simple when the boss makes a move. > **Ashveil** > *cough* The lines might be a bit exaggerated, but... in the corners where light cannot reach, it is indeed often monsters even more ferocious than devils that drive them out. ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil4.jpg?200|}} ==== New Emperor's War ==== Gaius struggled to his feet amidst the burning wreckage of his mech, witnessing a sea of flames stretching to the horizon, and countless Rangers charging forth, wave after wave. "The Thirteenth Legion has grown arrogant, and an arrogant army is doomed to defeat."\\ "Rangers, fight till your last!" > **Ashveil** > Look at that. Awesome beyond belief. > **Narrator** > Regarding what happened back then... which statement is actually true? > **Ashveil** > Every single one, obviously. > **Narrator** > Could the author of this novel be... the detective? ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil5.jpg?200|}} ==== Don't Try to Run, Your 18-Year-Old Grandpa Wolf Is Here ==== Even the moonlight favors his profile, particularly that jawline, sculpted, elegant, and noble. But gaze into his eyes, and you instantly plummet into a frigid wasteland: It is the stare of an apex predator, sharp, untamed, a danger you know you should avoid, yet cannot resist. > **Rappa** > Touching > **Boothill** > Foreign. > **Narrator** > The detective transforms into a werewolf. > **Ashveil** > Dearest author, I have a teeny-tiny friendly suggestion. Could we make the title just a little more... subtle next time? ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil6.jpg?200|}} ==== Three Additional Books ==== **The Vengeful Hunter**\\ Following the trail of his kin, the hunter ventured deep into the beast-infested forest. He had no desire to fight, yet every arrow he loosed never missed its mark.\\ But this time, amidst the scattering lights of those bestial pupils, he caught a glimpse of a familiar tenderness. > "Look there, the devil who slaughtered their own kin..." **A Universal History**\\ Prior to its destruction, Kronstadt, the "Black Church," was in truth a blood-soaked den where Lord Ravager Zulo cultivated his minions. **Fluffy Across the Blue: Ashwolf Childhood Side Story**\\ When the moon was as round as a butter cookie, Ashwolf let out a long "Awoooo!"\\ Mother once said: "Speak to the moon when you miss home." ---- {{ :supplicant.archive:supplicant-ashveil7.jpg?200|}} ==== Favorite Books ==== > **Narrator** > Out of all these books, which one is the detective's favorite? > **Ashveil** > Honestly... they're all pretty good. > **Ashveil** > Whenever I read a story, it's like bumping into that bunch of old acquaintances again. As long as someone is willing to pick up a pen, the story of us old-timers is never over.
