I admired heroes but became a villain

When facing Shenhua at the beginning, Guo Linglong had already left a counterattack plan just in case, but Shenhua's strength still greatly exceeded his estimation. He really didn't expect that Wu Dan and others would not be able to escape after rushing forward. If the maid had not intervened at that time, it would really be a question whether Guo Linglong could complete the gold alchemy and shatter the silver world.

Moreover, Xia, Flora, and even Eva on the side were all insisting that the maid was just a witch who was kept in the dark. Although they had no evidence, the reason they spoke for the maid was mostly out of love for the witch, and they had a great liking for the witch who rescued Guo Linglong from the desperate realm many times.

But even though most people opposed it, Wu Dan did not intend to change his opinion.

Even though she had known the maid for more than a thousand years, she had never completely seen through this high and mysterious witch. It was precisely because of this uneasiness and uneasiness that her eyes were filled with strong suspicion when she looked at the baby in Guo Linglong's arms.

"The maid who can predict the future is also aware of these questions... She could have explained them in this message, but she didn't."

Guo Linglong looked at the baby who had fallen asleep while chewing his thumb and whispered, "Because when she left the message, I was gradually being pushed into a desperate situation by Shenhua. She really didn't have time to defend herself, so she rushed to rescue me. I want to believe in such a maid..."

"Wait a moment!"

Hongcha's extraordinary intelligence made her keenly aware of Guo Linglong's choice of words. She asked again and again with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Why do I feel like you are trying to 'convince' yourself to believe that the maid and the evil god are not in the same group?"

"Because I am not a person who likes to think from an emotional and personal perspective..."

Guo Linglong gently stroked the baby girl's back and whispered, "The conclusion of rational thinking is that... the maid is using me. Shenhua is confident that once he becomes Alaya who unites all mankind, he will be able to fight the evil god head-on on equal terms. At that time, the only one who can defeat Shenhua is me, so the maid is determined to save my life and stop Shenhua's plan. Hey, why are you guys so horrified? This is just a guess of mine without any evidence, don't take it seriously."

"In short, Master, you make the decision. If you want to raise it, that's fine. I actually... don't mind taking it over."

Xia lowered her head, and the last few words were not much bigger than a mosquito.

Guo Linglong looked at the baby girl and was silent for a long time before she slowly raised her head and spoke softly.

"Xingguang, please give a message to the ambassador of Piaoniang Country and ask him to deliver the best baby products in the world to my office in the evening. I will exchange 300 million lives for him..."

Chapter 227 Marriage

Reason kept telling Guo Linglong that something was wrong with the maid...

Guo Linglong asked herself that she was not a highly charismatic character who could make people like her at first sight, and in some ways she was even particularly annoying, but the maid was different...

According to Wu Dan's words, she had begged the maid for a thousand years to let her hold an event to decide the Witch King, but the maid had been perfunctory until his arrival.

Moreover, the maid watched him, an elite of Dark Eden, maintain an unclear relationship with the magical girl. Her tolerance towards him was beyond imagination. She even saved him from Wu Dan and Shen Hua twice.

This kind of friendliness is beyond the scope of common sense no matter how you look at it. It is very likely that the maid knew her fate in advance and saved her own life in order to pave the way for the evil god.

Although the Flower of Evil is so noble, Guo Linglong still follows the emotional decision of his heart. No matter what, he cannot turn a blind eye to this kindness, even though he knows it is difficult for him to be a good father.

"Barbie……"

The baby girl opened her chubby hands to him and said with a bright smile on her cute little face: "Ice! Ice!"

Guo Linglong scratched her ears, then looked at everyone in confusion and said, "If I heard correctly... is she asking me for ice cream, a snack that has nothing to do with infants and young children?"

Xia and Xingguang, who were already so cute that their eyes were full of stars, hurriedly looked for ice cream, while Eva shrugged and said, "I don't think a baby who can digest 333 plans can't digest ice cream... How about it, little brother? Your dark history has been eaten by your own daughter. Can you breathe a sigh of relief?"

Guo Linglong said with a twitching mouth as she looked at Hope, who showed strength and flexibility that was different from that of a baby, climbed onto her head and started playing with her hair.

"I am indeed relieved, but I don't feel relaxed at all..."

"really."

A barely perceptible hint of fear flashed across Wu Dan's eyes.

"In a situation where there was no escape, he took on the alchemy of all mankind, a magic that was already so powerful that it could not be described as before, and he was not dead yet... How big of a monster does Shenhua want to be?!"

"After all, it is an existence that can elevate its own story into a myth."

Flora also took a breath and said, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to get the reincarnation of the maid to help us find Shenhua's whereabouts. I remember that the operation seems to be to bring her to the maid's room, right?"

"Uh...what are you talking about?"

Guo Linglong rubbed her temple and pointed at the baby girl playing with her hair. "I mean this guy who wants to ride on my head and build a nest with my hair. If Shenhua dares to stand up again, I will knock her down again. A god who has been surpassed by me once is no longer a threat to me."

"In your eyes, is this little guy more difficult to deal with than God?"

Flora rubbed her chin and looked at the distressed Guo Linglong in confusion. How could a man who could even defeat gods seem to have no way to deal with a baby?

"Of course."

Guo Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "I've said it before, my talent for evil is not creativity, but the ultimate malice. It's impossible to cultivate a child who will become the hope of mankind and the planet in the future. But if you want me to teach a world destroyer, there will be no problem."

"That being said..."

Wu Dan looked at the baby girl who fell asleep after playing tiredly and shrugged, saying, "She seems to have inherited the maid's affection for you. She is very attached to you. Besides, we also have the important task of returning the world to normal. We can't spare the time to help you take care of the child."

After taking a look at Wu Dan who had a difficult expression on his face, Eva came up to Guo Linglong, put her arm around his shoulders affectionately, and said, "Little brother, I have a way to help you resolve your worries... I think you are getting old, it's time for you to find a woman to marry."

In the darkness, four ears pricked up in excitement, and Flora on the side also showed a subtle expression, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, why did the topic suddenly come up here? Things like raising children can be handled by a nanny! I am sure that my best friend Guo Linglong is single like me and has no girlfriend yet. We agreed to fight against the evil emotion of love for the rest of our lives. How can we get married?"

"When did I make such an agreement with you?"

Guo Linglong looked expressionlessly at Flora, who said pitifully that friends should have the same dream. Then she rubbed her chin and muttered, "But now that you mention it, it reminds me that when I was a child, it was also in this place that the teachers who treated me like a son did jokingly say that if I could be an optimistic and positive guy, I would definitely find an excellent girlfriend at this age."

Hongcha on the side gloated, "As a result, you are good at stealing, cheating, and stealing. Not to mention becoming a person of good character and learning, you even wiped out almost all the wealth accumulated by human civilization from the first industrial revolution to the present, becoming the most vicious and evil criminal in history. This cannot be covered up by such light words as 'disappointing their expectations'."

"Yes."

Guo Linglong sighed helplessly, "So I didn't find an excellent girlfriend, but many candidate girlfriends who can no longer be described as excellent."

The women looked at the man who was such a scumbag so openly with embarrassed eyes, and they all had speechless expressions. Only Flora had a look of anger as if she had been betrayed, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You are a scumbag."

"The only thing I don't want is to be scolded by you like this."

Guo Linglong gritted her teeth and said to the magical girl who looked down on her: "Don't think I don't know that you do all kinds of things in bed with all kinds of people every night. It is because of your existence that I can be so confident, my dear friend."

"You are indeed so shameless that you are justified."

Hongcha snorted coldly, looking at Xia and Xingguang who dared to listen but not speak behind Guo Linglong, then shrugged and said, "Things have their priorities. We can find the mother for the maid anytime. Now let's do as the maid says. Bring Lady Hope to her room in her previous life and activate the magic circle that can find Shenhua. We are different from you. If we don't destroy Shenhua quickly, we won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"That's because things have priorities, so my lifelong event is the most important."

Guo Linglong sighed helplessly, then gently took the little baby girl off her head. She looked at the baby girl who had played enough and began to fall asleep, and the cute look of the baby girl biting her thumb backwards, and fell into deep thought...

In fact, before entering this basement, he was a bachelor who said he would never get married. After all, if he really wanted to get married, there were too many opportunities around him.

Whether it is transformed from life-saving grace to admiration, and then to star-studded love.

From fear to obedience, to influence, and finally to Xia, who is her only one

Or maybe the princess Saint Chris who was so shrewd that she even took her own body into consideration.

Even if he was willing, Wu Dan would agree with some helplessness because of the contract, and although Hongcha would definitely reject him, as long as he was willing to use some tricks, the girl would have to submit.

But he knew his own situation clearly. If he couldn't even be a good hero, there was no way he could be a good husband and a hero to his wife and children. So even though his male instincts were stirring, he always faced the girls' feelings with silence.

Miraculously, the moment he met the baby girl, he, who had decided to remain single all his life, actually began to consider marriage, an important lifelong event, without hesitation.

Hope...

What kind of future will he and his adopted daughter, who has done him a great favor, have?

This is an answer that even he, who can use his mortal wisdom to peek into fate, cannot give.

Chapter 228 The Legendary Hero

In a marble-paved palace, handsome humanoid creatures with pointed and slender ears, resembling elves in human fantasy and wearing court costumes, were gathered together, discussing things with nervous and panicked expressions. These elf ministers would look outside the door every few tens of seconds, revealing extremely complicated expressions.

Or expect...

Or disgust...

Or worry about...

or joy...

On the throne in the palace, a dignified blond woman wearing a royal robe like a quilt and a crown on her head was looking at her subordinates with a frown.

These ministers, who were usually known for their calmness and elegance, now showed extremely ugly and out-of-control appearances. After she ordered the guards to drag away several ministers who were crying and cursing her and calm them down with ice water, the ministers only restrained themselves a little, but still embarrassed the royal family with their inappropriate behavior.

But she didn't blame them. Even someone as emotionally indifferent as herself couldn't maintain her usual dignified and indifferent image in front of 'that thing'. After all... this was a crazy gamble!

The initiator of the gambling was her, the king, the dealer was her royal family, the gamblers were her and her people, the stakes were everything she had, and the chance of winning... was pitifully low.

But she still took the gamble. She was famous throughout the continent for her steely rationality. In the first and possibly last gamble in her life, she emptied the national treasury, placed everything on a hope as thin as a steel wire, and watched calmly.

"Ugh!!!!!!"

At the prolonged sound of the horn, all the ministers and the princess stood up and looked at the gate with bated breath. Soon, knights dressed like tin cans arrived at the palace.

The knight had obviously exhausted all his strength and ran over to report the situation. He tripped over the threshold and slid to the front of the princess with his head on the ground. Then the knight struggled to stand up and half-knelt on the red carpet, enduring the severe pain. He reported in a tired and hoarse voice: "Your Highness King Finnie, the cross-world magic teleportation array displayed by the Mirror of Truth is ready. Please move to the magic experiment site outside the royal palace and activate the array yourself."

Finney didn't care about the knight's gaffe, but stood up and prepared to go to the teleportation array that had been built at the cost of 80% of the national treasury's mana.

But before she could take two steps, a minister knelt down in front of her with a thud. He raised his tearful face, beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "You tyrant! You tyrant! The children of our kingdom are starving, the adults are carefully counting their breaths, and even we who are managing this country are suffering from hunger and cold. It's not too late to stop now! Finny, do you really want to drag the whole country down with you?"

"Father."

The princess leaned over, helped the old man up, and shook her head, saying, "Even if I hadn't taken this risk, this country would have been destroyed by the atrocities of the God of Destruction. It's only a matter of time."

"Even so, if there are some Manas around, this country will have no problem lasting a hundred years!"

The old man gnashed his teeth and looked at his indifferent daughter and said, "I never thought that you would bet almost all the mana of this country on it just because of the one-sided words of the mirror. You are crazy... absolutely crazy!"

"That's no ordinary mirror!"

Finney glanced at the ministers who followed his father and blocked his way forward and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen the power of the magic mirror. No matter what the problem is, no matter what the future is, the magic mirror can give me the answer. Since the magic mirror said that the teleportation array can summon a hero who can fight against the God of Destruction, then it must be able to do it!"

"Just because the mirror said a few small things correctly, you made such a big bet? What if the mirror is wrong?"

The old man asked with great sorrow as he looked at his daughter who was unmoved by his pleas.

"I will take responsibility and step down from the throne the moment the teleportation array fails."

Finney looked at his subjects and promised solemnly: "You can put shackles on me in the morning, drive me into a prison van, travel around the country, let the people spit on me, hang me in the downtown area at noon and let the people criticize me, send me to the guillotine at night, and give the people an explanation with death... So get out of the way, I am going to meet the brave man in the prophecy."

The ministers did not give in because of the Queen's promise, but the Queen did not mind, and did not take a detour. Instead, she stepped directly on them, ignoring the noisy noise, and came to the Royal Magic Experiment Center with the support of her supporters.

The huge research institute had been razed to the ground, leaving only a flickering circular magic circle that was the size of several football fields. Inside the circle, the pentagram was slowly rotating. The mana that symbolized the last hundred years of the Lion-Heron Kingdom's national destiny was shining brightly in the circle, making it as bright as day even in the middle of the night.

Hundreds of carefully selected court mages gathered around the magic circle, holding their breath, waiting for an order.

Standing on the high platform and watching this historic moment, the princess slowly drew out the long sword at her waist, pointed it at the night sky, and shouted, "In the name of the 20th King of the Lion-Heron Kingdom, Finny XII, the magic circle..."

start up?

Finny was stunned as she couldn't utter the last two words. She felt an invisible force tightly gripping her throat and choking off the last two words. But everything was normal and no one was stopping her. However, the unprecedented pressure was real and pressed down her trachea, sucking away all her oxygen. She was like a fish that had come ashore and was trying hard to open and close its mouth.

In just a moment, beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down her forehead, and the edge of the sword, which had never shaken since she started learning sword at the age of three, was trembling violently because of her fear.

"start up……"

After biting his remaining courage and squeezing the last two words out from between his teeth, Finny seemed to have lost all his strength. The weight of his entire body was pressed on the guardrail, and he looked on breathlessly.

The court mages who received the order silently carried out the most ridiculous order given by the most trusted emperor, consuming 80% of the country's mana to power the magic circle.

In an instant, an emerald-like light exploded and illuminated the night sky of the entire country. The torrent of mana was like a flood that broke through a dam, and was swept across the sky by an unknown gale. Under the emerald green sky, the torrent roared like a mighty dragon and rushed straight into the sky, knocking a huge hole in the empty sky.

Light!

A golden light like the morning sun poured out from the hole, and against the light, a figure slowly came to another world. In the prophecy of the Mirror of God, the brave man who could defeat the God of Destruction?

Finny stared blankly at the figure in the light who slowly opened his eyes, and the demon who had turned into nightmares and mocked her on countless nights. The paleness of despair gradually covered her white jade face.

Ha, my father was right. I shouldn't have believed in good things like pie in the sky. How could I pick up a magical artifact that could predict the future and answer all the questions as soon as I went out? This was all a conspiracy by the God of Destruction. She deliberately sent the mirror to me to trick me into wasting a hundred years of national destiny. Because of her stupidity, the last country in the world... is also finished.

--------------------------

Under the hole, Guo Linglong was also looking at everything around her in confusion...

He didn't know what was happening.

Following the maid's prophecy, he and his companions brought her reincarnation to her room and activated the magic circle she left behind, which was said to be able to find Shenhua.

But the moment the magic circle was activated, an inexplicable force suddenly pulled him away before he could prepare. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar and strange place.

What was strange was the people and clothes here. Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't recognize them. What was strange was that an unfamiliar woman was waving a sword and running towards him with a determined look on her face, as if she was going to fight him to the death...

But before he could prepare to fight back, the confused woman saw his face and changed her face like Sichuan Opera, from a desperate madness to a panic of "Shit, I got the wrong person". She suddenly stopped halfway, lost her balance and fell to the ground, using her pretty face as a brake, and slid in front of him.

This...what is going on?

Amid Hope's amused laughter, Guo Linglong's eyes became even more dazed.

Chapter 229 Another Possibility

“Woo~~~Wow!!!”

In the palace hall, Guo Linglong held the sniffling and crying little Hope, looking speechlessly at the tense surroundings, and then said calmly: "Listen, I don't care who you are or what you want to do. I will only give you ten seconds. If you continue to be hostile and scare this girl, I will not even listen to your reasons and will just turn around and leave."
