The villain's way to tame the protagonist

“Anse, Anse! I got it! This guy is so much weaker than the giant python. When he saw me, he not only didn’t want to run away, but also wanted to kill me… and then I beat him to death with two punches.”

The girl was about to hug Anser, but when she saw the blood on his body, she stopped immediately, scratched her head and said awkwardly: "I just punched him accidentally and he bleed a lot."

"..." Ming Fuluo looked at the corpse on the ground, her voice slightly hoarse, "Karen Mobenda, a senior warlock who has worked in the Tower of Babel for three years."

"I'm sorry." Anser shrugged. "He is a spy from the Ether Court."

“Anser told me, ‘This environment isn’t suitable,’ and I understood it immediately!”

Xitana put her hands on her hips with great pride and said, "Anser hates others peeking at him the most... Well, anyway, it's not difficult to find this guy. I went out for a walk and immediately smelled the guy who smelled the most strange in the crowd."

The perception and intuition granted by the Wind Lord make Xitana invincible in capturing spies and assassins.

"Anser!"

She looked at Anser with a bright smile and hummed confidently, "You will never find another person who is as compatible with you as I am, right?"

"Well... maybe."

"What do you mean by maybe?" Xitana stood in front of Anser with dissatisfaction, "Don't say maybe!"

Anser smiled and ruffled the girl's snowy hair: "That's for sure."

Xitana's expression changed instantly, and she said with a smile: "So, I am the most powerful leader of Anser!"

"Didn't you decide this a long time ago?"

Anser waved his hand to clean the blood off the girl's body, pulled her into his arms, and rubbed her cheek with a smile: "No need to confirm again."

"Hehe~"

Xitana rubbed Anser's chest happily, half-closed her eyes, and said happily:

"I am not only Anser's most powerful confederate... I am also the confederate who is most compatible with Anser!"

The girl seemed to have telepathic connection and said something that she would never have thought of before.

"There must be no one in this world who is more suitable than me to be the leader of Ansekhi, right?"

This sentence made Anser stunned for a moment. He looked up at Ming Fuluo's back and didn't find anything unusual. The satisfaction in his eyes became stronger. At the same time, he smiled and kissed Xitana's cheek: "Of course, Xitana, you must be my best partner."

"Great!"

Ming Fuluo ignored it and continued with her work.

But just as she didn't notice, Ansel, who had been trying to tame her, not only did not feel frustrated after hearing her absolutely rational analysis, but instead showed satisfaction in his eyes.

Anser didn't find out either...

The simple model that Ming Fuluo made at the beginning inexplicably turned into a pile of scrap metal at some point.

Chapter 15: Mechanical Equipment? High ()!

"So... you spent five days tinkering with this and this is what you came up with?"

Xitana leaned on the edge of the processing table and tried to poke the small metal bug that was only half the size of a knuckle, but was slapped away by Ming Furo.

The latter ignored the unhappy Xitana and turned to look at Anser: "Next, we must use a sample close to the mechanical parts for actual testing... Hydra, which version of the mechanical manuscript did you give them?"

"The original one."

Anser shrugged. "Because it will cause a lot of trouble in the next few versions. I don't want that kind of thing to appear in the empire in the next five years."

"The initial one..." Ming Fuluo nodded, "Very good, now I should be able to make a piece of external armor, let's give it a try first."

Anser raised his hand to call over the metal bug on the processing table, and carefully examined the little thing that was flexibly entwined and crawling on his fingertips. At the same time, he reminded: "Although I only gave them the original version, under the pressure of Your Majesty, they can still make some improvements."

"It is impossible for a mediocre person to make a breakthrough in a genius' design. At most, he can only add unnecessary details."

Ming Fuluo sneered disdainfully: "I can already imagine how many incompatible and redundant functions they will add to that machine."

Xitana was confused and didn't want to be out of place, so she asked Anser curiously: "Anser, what exactly is this mechanical device you are talking about? Why does that arrogant princess want to do it, and even the emperor wants to do it?"

"Let me ask you a question first, Sitana."

Anser looked at the metal bug on his fingertips flying up slowly, and said in a brisk tone: "What kind of weapon do you think is the best weapon?"

"……arms?"

Sitana, who had very little knowledge in this area, tilted her head and said, "The best... should be the sharpest, right?"

As a hunter, her knowledge of weapons was limited to this.

"The best weapon is a tool that can maximize killing efficiency, and the so-called tool...is essentially just to make up for human's 'shortcomings'"

The metal bug flew more and more steadily in the air, and Anser continued to watch it and said, "Because the understanding of the elements, the mastery of ether, and the accumulation of knowledge are not deep enough and rich enough, we need an alchemical chisel, an ether furnace, and an entire alchemical workshop to assist."

"The same is true for weapons, which are meant to make up for the lack of violence and killing - so here comes the problem."

“Where exactly is this deficiency manifested?”

"The constraints of energy, the limitations of means, and the restrictions of the body."

Ming Fuluo, who was working, said without raising her head.

"That's right, Ming Fuluo summed it up perfectly." Anser raised the corner of his mouth happily, "Whether it's a transcendent or an ordinary person, all the shortcomings of violence can be solved from the above three aspects."

"So..." He rubbed Xitana's head, which made the neglected girl suddenly happy, and then asked, "Xitana, what do you think is the most powerful weapon now?"

"Hmm...Since Anser has said so, is there something that can make up for these three deficiencies?"

"Yes."

The young Hydra held the flying metal bug in his palm and sighed with a nostalgic tone:

"Mechanical equipment, this is the weapon."

It can not only make up for the constraints brought by energy consumption, but also provide infinite and varied means of attack, and finally it can not be restricted by the outer shell of the body...

This is the extraordinary weapon called the Armor that Anser conceived.

“…Is it that powerful?”

Hitana was skeptical. Her poor brain couldn't quite figure out what this weapon looked like.

"In theory, it is indeed that powerful."

Anser laughed as he said this: "Of course, it's only 'in theory'. Because Ming Fuluo and I didn't even consider completing it at that time. The only time we tried was just trying to forge the most basic armor, um... that is what Ming Fuluo is doing now."

"And that time..."

Haidera, who was standing next to his best partner, looked at the lonely figure standing at the processing table and said with regret: "Ming Fuluo failed miserably."

"puff."

Miss Sitana couldn't help laughing out loud. Although she soon realized that she was being rude, it was really funny and she couldn't help herself.

She was so happy when she thought of this guy who had a dead look on his face all day and was not polite to Ansher, being blown to pieces because of the failure of the experiment.

Plus, because of this guy, she had to stay in this alchemy workshop with Anser and was forced to play some games against her will... Well, it wasn't mainly a question of reluctance, it was just too uncomfortable to be stuck like this. Anser was the same as always, but she couldn't really let go when there were outsiders around.

You annoying guy... just wait, I'm going to let Ansher give you a hard time!

Thinking this in her heart, Xitana couldn't help but chuckle a few times. Although she was a little unhappy that Ming Furo would work with her in the future, when she thought that she would always be able to ride on her head, this little unhappiness was nothing.

Do you understand the first come first served rule? And I have two kinds of power, two kinds!

"No one can guarantee success forever." Ming Fuluo glanced at Anser, "Can you, Hydra?"

"Hmm... this."

Ansher didn't look at Ming Fuluo, but looked down at Xitana who was smiling silly, with a hint of pure tenderness flowing in her sea-blue eyes.

"You are right. I cannot guarantee that I will always succeed."

"..."

Ming Fuluo didn't say anything and continued with her work with an expressionless face.

It’s fake enough.

Ming Furo thought to herself as she sent the metal block with the circuit engraved on it into the ether furnace.

In three years, his acting skills have become even more terrifying and dangerous... It's no surprise that the beast, which was not smart to begin with, was tricked into this state.

Ming Fuluo believed that as long as Anser gave the order, the girl next to him would do it without hesitation, even if it meant going to her death. Although she didn't like such a reckless and rude person, Ming Fuluo still felt that she was a little pitiful.

Life is so precious. There are so many unknown and vast scenes and profound and infinite truths in this world. It would be such a waste to just hand over your soul to the devil.

However, this was Xitana's own choice, and Ming Furo had no interest in saying anything more.

Compared to caring about that insignificant guy, the matter at hand is obviously more important.

"Are you this skilled now?"

Anser looked at Ming Fuluo who was forging with some surprise: "It took you six days to get to this point last time, but now you can do it effortlessly?"

"What do you think I've been doing for the past three years?"

Ming Furo's tone was indifferent, but the strands of ether that controlled the metal were extremely stable, without the slightest deviation, symbolizing that the second-level warlock who was looking at the furnace and was on the verge of collapse three years ago no longer existed.

"If you can't even make this piece of armor." Her purple eyes flickered with the flames of the ether furnace, "it would be a complete joke to realize those ideas you still piled up in my hands."

"…even later."

Ming Fuluo now even found time to look back at Anser: "Even if there is no affection between you and me, I think you will cooperate with me again sooner or later."

"You and I are not much different in our sense of value, Hydra."

"Don't you have any illusions about me anymore?"

Anser looked at her in surprise: "Are you still considering cooperating with me?"

"Just because you're not the person I expected doesn't mean I deny your abilities."

The alchemy workshop was filled with the sound of machinery, as well as Ming Fuluo's emotionless words: "To this day, I have never met anyone who can reach the level of your thinking."

"instead……"

The raging flames in the ether furnace suddenly turned from red to blue, and the gushing flames almost hit Ming Fuluo's face, but she remained indifferent and just said calmly:

"On the contrary, I can't stand being associated with mediocre people."

As she said this, she slowly took out a piece of metal from the furnace. The piece had irregular patterns on its surface and some blue flames still remaining. It looked very extraordinary.

"You won't refuse my request for cooperation, because that's my value, and you won't waste it, so even if I no longer have any illusions about you, you are still someone I can cooperate with."

The way Ming Furo said "This is my value" expressionlessly gave Xitana goose bumps. She really couldn't imagine how extreme a person had to be to count himself as a price and put him on the scale to be weighed.

"You have a nice idea." Anser laughed. "I didn't let you pay the price for those ideas before just to trick you. After all, in my eyes, you are the price."

"But you didn't pay the fee, dear Miss Minfroy."

The young Hydra sighed and spread his hands helplessly: "Do you still want to take those wonderful ideas from me for nothing?"

"...I can't afford the price now, but that's just the beginning."

Ming Fuluo threw the huge piece of metal to Anser and said indifferently: "You can even hand over the mechanical equipment, which means you don't care about the era and future that I talked about before."

"And since they can make a deal with you, why can't I? The ability to pay the price is just a matter of time."

She put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, curled her lips, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "After all, you never care about the ideals and the future that you talked about with me. You never care about the new era you talked about."

"If it's just a cooperative relationship." Ming Fuluo paused for a moment, and then her tone became a little better, "This should be better... No, this may be the best relationship between us."

"What? You're not interested in being my sworn brother?" Ansher teased.

"There are many ways to become stronger and to further my pursuit of truth. The Qi Shou is just the most convenient one. If it doesn't work, it doesn't mean I'm helpless. That's it. That's the end."

Hitana, who was bored to the point of being drowsy, became excited upon hearing this and immediately said, "You said it yourself, so don't keep asking Anser for the ring when the time comes."

"Judging from your personality." Ming Fuluo turned and stared at Xitana, "You are most likely chasing Hydra for the ring, which is why you think I will do the same thing as you."

Miss Hitana, whose mood had just improved, had her blood pressure rise instantly. She took a step forward with a twitching eye: "Do you have the guts to say it again? Do you believe that if I pin you to the ground and beat you up right now, Anser won't stop me?"

"..."

Ming Fuluo looked at Ansher, who was smiling, and said nothing.

——He will agree.

Such a thought arose in the woman's mind.

Hydra will allow this beast to commit unreasonable atrocities because in Hydra's eyes, I have no equal value with her.
