I admired heroes but became a villain

The flirtatious tone made Xia beside him prick up her ears alertly.

"I need money now, a lot of money. Tell me how much money you have available?"

Guo Linglong said "I want it all" without hesitation, which made Chris hesitate and said, "There are several million on the books, but there are about 60 million Distorted Coins not recorded in the treasury. They are the dirty money my parents earned by squeezing the people and slaves for many years. Do you need it, dear?"

After taking out a distortion coin from his pocket, Guo Linglong activated his alchemy, summoning a golden nameless fire to burn the distortion coin in his hand and transform it into his own magic power. After making some estimation, he came up with an astonishing number.

If he could use all these 60 million distortion coins, he should be able to refine 1 billion magic power!

"But it's not enough."

If she wanted to defeat Flora with absolute strength and absolute kingly way, she couldn't rely on herself alone, so Guo Linglong asked again: "I also need a team of the strongest people in this country to help her, is that okay?"

"Of course it's no problem. After all, dear, your enemy is my enemy."

After Chris came down happily, she hung up the phone and began to recruit soldiers according to Guo Linglong's instructions. Meanwhile, Deya couldn't help but complain, "Why do we need to recruit soldiers? Where's the one-on-one duel?"

"My connections, my wisdom, and my methods are all part of my personal strength. It's not wrong to say that I'm in a one-on-one fight."

Guo Linglong patted her chest proudly and said, "This is what is called 'a good fighter does not have great achievements'. Just don't play any tricks and use absolute strength to crush others. Okay, do you have any questions now?"

"There is one."

Xia raised her hand, staring at the microphone in Guo Linglong's hand, and asked in a broken voice, "Master...are you happy to be called 'dear'?"

Guo Linglong, who was excitedly preparing to share his battle plan with the two, suddenly froze. For some reason, at this moment, he actually felt the charm of Kasumi when they first met...

Uh... maybe it's an illusion?

Chapter 140: Perfect

Three days was not too long, but not too short either. When Guo Linglong stopped working, it was already the agreed time...

Flora, wearing a mask, arrived as promised at the location chosen by Guo Linglong, a forest on the outskirts of the kingdom.

Looking at Flora who came in front of her in casual clothes, Guo Linglong frowned in confusion.

The queen who adored him had prepared 1 billion spare magic powers for him.

There is also a powerful professional team riding on flying dragons waiting not far away.

On the contrary, the other party came only one person because of the agreement...

"Miss Flora."

Guo Linglong stared at the magical girl in front of her and asked in a low voice: "I am sure, very sure, you did not come here to fail, but you should still have the possibility of winning. Is your magic really strong enough to overcome this hurdle?"

"It is impossible for me to defeat you who are fully prepared now with my personal strength."

Flora frankly admitted that she was not strong enough, then changed the subject and said with a smile on her face: "But I have friends. The power of friendship is infinite. Even though we are far apart, this power will still lead me to victory."

"Stop saying these lines from anime male protagonists."

Guo Linglong didn't comment. He believed in science more than friendship. Science was that it was almost impossible for Flora to defeat him and his dragon riders alone, unless... a trap was used? But the time and place of the duel were decided by himself, so it was impossible for the other party to set a trap. Moreover, there was no trace of a trap on the ground.

Could it be that the trap is in the sky? !

Guo Linglong subconsciously looked up at the sky. The sky was a little gloomy, but it didn't look like it was going to rain. A solitary cloud was parked quite far away from here. Everything was normal.

"Mr. Guo, my future friend, it's time to fight!"

Flora slowly took out the flintlock from her waist and aimed it at Guo Linglong, then slowly pulled the trigger. The next moment, the sapphire-like flint on the flintlock hit the firing port heavily, but no bullet was fired. Instead, there was a loud collision sound and a dazzling but not blinding light.

After the strong light, a heroic battlefield princess wearing a crown, a gorgeous platinum-colored skirt armor, and a cloak on her back appeared in front of Guo Linglong. Guo Linglong also stepped forward silently. The thick black mist that seeped out of the pores all over her body instantly turned into a pitch-black heavy armor, covering her entire body tightly.

"Before, the Gemini was defeated by you, so let's use this as the first magic."

Flora took a step forward, and the next moment two Floras appeared on both sides. Then three Floras took another step forward, and six Floras appeared behind them. Then nine Floras raised their hands together and made a heart-shaped gesture towards Guo Linglong.

"Second magic: poisonous wind."

As the nine magical girls spoke in unison, a poisonous hurricane rose up violently, blowing towards Guo Linglong in an overwhelming manner. The strong wind even affected the clouds in the distance, and they floated towards here.

"Three million, great power!"

Seeing that the poisonous wind was about to approach, Guo Linglong opened her hands wide, transformed the magic light into impact force, and blew away the poison. Then she raised her hands and shouted loudly: "One million, cut the light!"

A flat blade of light visible to the naked eye chopped down at an angle. The nine Floras dodged it with nine different moves and spread out to form a circle to surround Guo Linglong. The next moment, the nine familiar mirrors were thrown into the air, and then nine beams of light fell from the sky. The familiar high temperature in the light made Guo Linglong subconsciously avoid it, and then a violent explosion occurred where the light illuminated.

This guy... can even use starlight magic? !

While thinking, a flash of light condensed from 100,000 magic powers with penetrating physical properties shattered the mirror in the sky, and then Guo Linglong clapped her hands heavily.

"Five Million Train Whip!"

The translucent train materialized by magic was controlled by Guo Linglong like a whip, lashing at the magical girls surrounding her, but the nine Floras each cast nine completely different magics to smash the train into pieces in mid-air.

"Almost all magical girls are my friends."

Flora looked at Guo Linglong in amazement, who had consumed so much magic power without even taking a breath, and then shook her head and said, "Unlike the selfish love that only one person can have, even if I am Xingguang's best friend, Hongcha will not mind treating me as a best friend as well, so I can use almost all the magic that the magic girls know. And unlike your alchemy that will burn out sooner or later, the fuel of friendship is inexhaustible. Facing this infinite magic power and magic as many as the stars, do you... still have the confidence to win?"

Fire Dance Kagura!

With nine loud shouts, nine fire dragons rose into the sky and, under the control of nine Floras, spewed flames and attacked Guo Linglong.

Facing the raging flames, Guo Linglong converted her magic power into physical potential energy, accelerated her movement speed, and rushed towards the nine fire dragons instead of retreating. The gem rings, glass rings, agate rings, diamond rings, and gold rings on her raised fists were all ignited and blasted forward with a fierce impact.

After a loud bang, the five rings shattered one after another, but the violent potential energy converted directly dispersed the nine fire dragons, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Although he successfully blocked the fire magic cast by nine Floras, at this moment... he had already lost...

After the attack, Guo Linglong looked at the flames all around, then raised her head and looked at the clouds that were not far away before but now floated above her.

His previous idea was correct. Flora did set a trap in the sky, but she didn't know where she would set the battlefield, so she could only store the trap first, and then use the magic of the strong wind to pull it over. Now her group was just under the cover of the clouds.

Seeing Guo Linglong looking up at the sky without any movement, Flora's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "You actually discovered this perfect trap?"

“But it was discovered a little too late.”

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Guo Linglong shrugged, took off his heavy armor and gave up resistance.

The flying dragon riders on standby not far away seemed to think that Guo Linglong was exhausted, so they subconsciously pounced on Flora.

"Clouds are visible aggregates floating in the air, composed of small water droplets or small ice crystals formed by the cooling of water vapor in the atmosphere."

Guo Linglong looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Now, this cloud has floated here, and this place has just been burning with fire magic, emitting terrible high temperatures. After the two are combined... it's going to rain here, right?"

Flora looked at Guo Linglong in amazement, then nodded.

"Yes, it's going to rain here, and... it's raindrops mixed with holy water."

Chapter 141 Flora's Ambition

Although he tried to use his might to shake off the mysterious rain, his might, which had always been impeccable in defense, melted away quietly when it came into contact with the rain, like ice and snow meeting the sun. Even if he used magic to hit the ground and dig a hole to avoid the rain, he would fail because of the interference of Flora on the side.

Not only himself, but also the reinforcements possessing various mysterious powers were directly wiped out by the rain, lying on the ground unable to get up again.

Even Guo Linglong couldn't help but sigh that the idea of ​​setting traps in the sky was indeed brilliant. If she hadn't been careful to prepare a "back-up plan" even when she had a great chance of winning, she might have really fallen here.

"you win."

Guo Linglong spread her hands and said, "At least you win now. I made so many preparations before, but I was easily defeated by you."

"How can this be called easy?"

After carefully wrapping the flintlock with a rain shelter, Flora couldn't help but said distressedly: "Our family has been full of magical girls for five hundred years, and this is holy water that has been passed down for more than five hundred years. I used up all the stock over the past five hundred years to make such an artificial rain cloud, and now... it's gone, ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

After shouting at the sky to vent her frustration, Flora came to Guo Linglong, stretched out her hand to him, and said with a smile: "However, compared to the wealth accumulated over five hundred years, friends are indeed more valuable."

Guo Linglong, who was completely exhausted, could only hold Flora's hand and barely stand up. She asked doubtfully, "Can you... use the Supreme Alchemy now?"

"Unfortunately, I can't use that fancy magic right now."

Flora shook her head and said, "Although I can use any magic that my friends know, and you also promised to become my friend if you lose, but that is only a verbal agreement at best. You still don't consider me a friend in your heart."

"I do admire you, but unfortunately, it's impossible between us."

Guo Linglong shrugged and said pointedly: "I am the witch of Dark Eden, and you are the magical girl of the Three Sages Alliance. There is only a hostile relationship between us, not friends..."

"OK."

Flora held Guo Linglong's hands and said sincerely: "Even if you don't want to go back with me, it doesn't matter if you bathe in the holy water to get rid of Dark Eden. If you feel that the distance between us is too far to walk towards, then I will walk towards you. No matter how far it is, I will definitely walk to a place where you can reach with just your hand!"

These words are true...

Looking at Flora whose eyes seemed to be shining, Guo Linglong finally understood what was going on with Xia's strange attitude after she came back. Although she didn't say it, she was also slightly moved by Flora's sincerity, right?

"I am so defeated that I have nothing to say. I have absolutely nothing to say."

Guo Linglong broke free from Flora's hands and sighed regretfully, "I admit defeat. From now on, this country that used to belong to me is yours."

"Ok?"

Flora asked in confusion, "Is that okay? The bet clearly states that if I win, I can only get your friendship."

"I'm not that shameless yet."

Guo Linglong looked at her right hand which couldn't even clench a fist and sighed, "Now you only need to gently pinch my neck and twist it hard, and you can easily kill me. Even if you have no intention of plundering my land, I can't stay here anymore with such a thick face."

"I won't take my friends' things, even if you don't consider me a friend yet..."

Flora took out an umbrella from somewhere that could protect Guo Linglong from the interference of the holy rain and handed it to him, chuckling and saying, "If you think this is really inappropriate, then put a friend's chair in your heart and let me sit on it."

"You guy..."

Guo Linglong stared blankly at the umbrella in her hand and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so obsessed with me? Is being friends with me really that important?"

"Because of your deeds, I have heard about it from Starlight, Black Tea, and Mary."

Flora looked at Guo Linglong with a hint of yearning and said, "They said that there was a witch in Dark Eden who, even though she fell into darkness and was given dark talents by fate, still maintained a pure heart. She also told me in detail how you insisted on your pure goodness in the harshness of fate. When I heard these deeds, the first thing I thought of was..."

If you could become close friends with such a person, with whom you could talk about anything, it would be a friendship that you could reminisce about even when you are old.

"Flora...you are just like the male protagonist in a harem manga."

Guo Linglong held up an umbrella and stepped back away from Flora.

"I understand now. Although you don't know brainwashing magic, your attitude, initiative, and charm are like brainwashing magic. From now on, I will try to keep a sufficient distance from you... Wait! Stop right there! Don't come near me!"

Tsk, it's really hard to conquer.

Flora bit her cherry lips in dissatisfaction, then shook her head.

This time, she won by sheer surprise. The opponent didn't expect that she would store so much holy water, and she didn't expect that she would give up all the holy water just to make friends with him. That's how she won the game. So she must not miss this lucky opportunity, and she must not miss this friendship that will make her savor it endlessly in the future! She is determined to make friends with him!

Looking at Flora who was trying to stick close to him, Guo Linglong could do nothing but struggle hard. After all, he was just a loser now.

"But what do you want?"

Guo Linglong was extremely puzzled and said, "Don't tell me, you spent such a huge price, and you don't want anything else besides my friendship? Don't you want this country and these treasures?"

"I really don't want these wealth belonging to my friends, but there is one thing you don't have that I really want."

Flora raised a finger and said with infinite yearning: "The Distortion Star... According to the elders of my family, it is a treasure born from the influence of countless distortion values ​​in this world. It contains a distortion force that can affect the entire world. Even people's common cognition can be easily distorted into a magic item for civilization."

"You're a magical girl, why do you want the witches' treasures, uh..."

As Guo Linglong pondered, his expression suddenly became strange. He recalled that when they first met in the tavern, Flora had a disgusted attitude towards "love". Could it be...

"Indeed, your wisdom is genuine."

Flora excitedly stretched out her hand and invited Guo Linglong.

"Friends, join me in distorting the 'love' in the real world!"

Chapter 142: A Love Story That Changed

Gentlemanly manners...

Although this word is usually used to describe men, Guo Linglong feels that there is no better way to describe Flora's style than this word.

Faced with him "honestly" admitting defeat, Flora not only did not kill him, but she didn't even tell anyone else the result of the duel. The woman who refused to take anything from him just moved into his castle very familiarly and stayed there temporarily as a "friend". As a loser, Guo Linglong could only accept it with a pinch of her nose, and then several days passed like this.

It’s a wonderful atmosphere…

Obviously, one of them was from the Three Sages and the other from Dark Eden, but Flora, who believed that friendship could transcend positions, simply ignored these things. She ate his food and lived in his house at ease, and even when he was out, she forced herself to stick with him to go sightseeing in the city.

If he didn't know that Flora hated love, he would even suspect that this girl was greedy for his body.

"Don't be so formal."

Flora sat comfortably in Guo Linglong's original seat, eating the snacks that Xia brought over, and said calmly, "Relax, be at ease, you will soon get used to my presence and naturally treat me as a friend, just like now, haven't you already transitioned from 'don't get close to me' to accompanying me shopping and chatting? Maybe in two or three days, we can become best friends who give each other nicknames."
