The villain's way to tame the protagonist

There is no doubt that this was driven by the mysterious chess player who has not appeared for a long time.

Some factions within the Ether Institute tried to win over Anser by bowing to Babel. Anser knew that she would not miss such an opportunity to greatly enhance Babel's status, so he had already set a price and waited for her to pay.

The mysterious man had obviously anticipated this, and by changing Ronger's mind, he prevented herself from contacting Anser, and at the same time... he was also implicitly conveying a thought to her.

——Don't habitually cling to that devil.

Ming Fuluo also subconsciously reflected on herself, was she really too hasty? Contacting Anser to have him present was just a way to further enhance Babel's status in the eyes of the outside world. After all, some factions in the Ether Academy had already bowed their heads, which was enough to prove the current value of Babel.

Anser's arrival is not necessary... No!

Ansel must have been certain that I would contact him, so he quoted such an expensive price. If it was unimportant and I could refuse to give up, then wouldn't it be meaningless for him to ask for it?

Whatever it is, I will definitely ask Anser for help and ask him to stand on Babel's side. Whatever it is...whatever it is...

"Oh, good afternoon, Ms. Junger."

A gentle voice that sent chills down Ming Fuluo's spine sounded from the front.

On the busy cross corridor, the young Hydra leaned on his cane and said with a warm smile: "I heard that you will give a lecture in the Ether Academy this afternoon. I am quite interested in this."

"...Sir Anser, I am very pleased to receive your recognition."

Although Rong Geer was a little confused, he still bowed his head respectfully and said, "If you are willing to come and give me some advice, I would be honored."

She glanced at Ming Furo secretly, her eyes quite helpless, as if to say that there was no need to do this. Obviously she thought it was Ming Furo who called Ansher here.

But Ming Fuluo knew very well that she had not given Anser an answer at all, so why did he come to the Ether Courtyard?

"Oh, that's not it."

In this joyful atmosphere, Anser said with a smile: "Although I am quite interested in your lecture, Ms. Ronger, Lord Soran invited me to witness his newly created fifth-level spell, so I have to excuse myself."

After saying this, he turned casually to the other side of the cross corridor, ready to leave.

As soon as he raised his foot, Ming Fuluo subconsciously said, "Wait!"

"...Hmm?" Anser tilted his head, "What's the matter, Luo?"

This subtle address made all the scholars at the Tower of Babel stunned, and the expressions of the sorcerers who deliberately slowed down their pace also became extremely excited.

"You... I mean, Lord Anser."

Ming Fuluo's breathing was a little rapid, but of course it was not because of Ansel's address, but something revealed by his current actions.

"Lord Soran invited you..." She remained calm, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible, "but the timing is so unfortunate... Is it a conflict?"

She lowered her head even deeper: "If possible, I still hope that you... you can, come and listen to Ms. Rong Geer's lecture."

The proud female scholar, who had managed to maintain the last bit of dignity and decency no matter how she was tortured last night, now looked so humble at this moment.

When the illusory warmth and resonance between the two were thrown away, all that remained was such a cold and hard barrier.

"I'm sorry, too, Luo."

Anser sighed, "I won't have the chance to sit in on Ms. Jungel's lecture."

"..."

Ming Fuluo lowered her head slightly and said nothing, while Anser said gently: "You can listen to it again when you have a chance. As for now..."

Young Hydra did not go to see the scholars at the Tower of Babel, but only said to himself:

"Sure enough, Lord Soran's side is more important."

At this moment, Rongger had also noticed something was wrong, but before she could speak, Anser had already walked in the other direction of the cross corridor.

The warlocks who had deliberately slowed down their pace began to walk quickly again. Among the crowd, the members of the Tower of Babel who were standing still... seemed to be a little out of place.

"...Ming Fuluo."

With a bad feeling in his heart, Rong Geer whispered: "Sir Anser, didn't you call him?"

Before Ming Fuluo could answer, her communication magic crystal began to vibrate. After Rong Geer answered the call, a voice with suppressed anger came out of the magic crystal immediately:

"Ms. Ronggel, please explain to me...why Anser went to Soran!"

"Mr. Barnes, we didn't know..."

"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not! Anser shouldn't be there with other people! Do you understand what I mean! Damn it... You don't really think I have any expectations for you, Babel Tower!"

Rong Geer was speechless at the moment, and Mr. Phase Traveler, who had originally reached an agreement with her, was silent for a while. After calming down, he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, find a way to win Anser over. Even if you can't let him appear in your lecture, you must ensure... that he doesn't appear at other people's!"

"This is not just about me, Ms. Junger."

Barnes said coldly: "The most I can do is not get more of Nassima's inheritance, but you guys... humph, think about it carefully."

The call was disconnected, and Ms. Ronger's face had turned slightly pale.

"…The communication from the Phase Traveler?"

Ming Fuluo asked in a low voice.

Rong Geer put the communication magic crystal back into her pocket. She remained silent, as if she was organizing her words.

"bright……"

"Leave it to me, ma'am." Ming Fuluo said calmly, "I'll find a way."

As she said this, she clenched her fists tightly.

I should have thought of it earlier... Why, why do I feel that I can rest easy just because Ansher is in control of the Tower of Babel?

Ansir Hydra did not take the initiative to ask the emperor to snatch the Tower of Babel from the eldest princess, but was "forced" to accept it by His Majesty the Emperor.

From the beginning to the end, he never showed a strong desire for the Tower of Babel. He just gave the Tower of Babel a sufficiently generous treatment.

But as we all know, Lord Anser is famous for his kindness throughout the empire. Looking at the entire history of the empire, even tracing back to the Zhengtian Dynasty, there is no Hydra as kind and tolerant as him.

He gave Babel resources and support...what does that mean?

Are these resources and support something very difficult for Anser?

No, never. He only needs to leak a little bit of resources from his fingertips to benefit the Tower of Babel endlessly. There has never been anything to prove that Ansir Hydra values ​​the Tower of Babel very much.

The Tower of Babel might be just an interesting and useful gadget to him, but his good attitude towards the people in the Tower of Babel formed too sharp a contrast with Ivora, which made them have the illusion that "Sir Anser attaches great importance to us" and made them think that Anser would always stand on their side.

But what is the truth? The truth is... Anser doesn't really care about Babel. A supernatural organization with a deep foundation, a veteran and powerful fifth-level expert, which one of them is not more valuable than Babel, whose future is uncertain?

In other words, even if Ansher stood against the Tower of Babel for them, what could the Tower of Babel say?

Who gave the Tower of Babel everything it has now?

Tower of Babel, Ming Furo... They had no choice from the beginning.

They must do everything they can to ensure that Anser stands on their side.

Otherwise, when the outside world gradually realized that the Tower of Babel was almost insignificant to Anser, and Anser was even unwilling to stand on the side of the Tower of Babel sometimes...

Then their situation would slide in a direction that no one wanted to see. At most, it would be only slightly better than when they were controlled by Ivora.

But how could the members of the Tower of Babel, who have already experienced this kind of feeling, be willing to see their current status fall again?

No one would accept it, including Ming Fuluo...

"Ma'am, please go to the venue and prepare for the lecture."

Ming Fuluo cast her gaze in the direction where Anser left: "I will make sure Anser is on our side."

"...Ming Fuluo, you——"

"rest assured."

The petite and cold woman tried her best to smile at the elder who cared about her, but her expression was still stiff and weird: "Have you forgotten how he called me? Believe me, ma'am."

Rong Geer was silent for a long time, then he sighed softly and smiled reluctantly: "I believe you, Ming Fuluo...always."

She seemed to have something else to say but couldn't. However, Ming Furo could read Rong Geer's thoughts from her ashamed and tired eyes.

She didn't want Ming Fuluo to make any more sacrifices... no matter what kind of sacrifice it was.

She, Hendrick, and some other people who had watched Ming Furo grow up did not want this girl who had sacrificed so much for the Tower of Babel to make any sacrifices alone.

Ming Fuluo even thought about the deeper reasons that made Rong Geer change his mind.

——The noble lady who regarded Ming Fuluo as her own child did not want her to be forced to beg Ansher just to make the Tower of Babel better.

The irony is...

Ming Fuluo turned around, her teeth almost digging into her lips.

When she didn't use reason to defend herself from her emotions, the guilt that surged in her heart was so...torturing.

Ironically, the person she was worried about having to sacrifice for the Tower of Babel now took the initiative... and asked them, who were worried about Ming Furo, to make sacrifices.

Mingflora Zeger receives love from others, but has to sacrifice the people she loves - she doesn't even know what requests Anser will make, or what Ronggel or Hendrik will have to sacrifice, but she has to choose to do this.

Even if, even if Rong Geer or Hendrick, knew this condition, they would make sacrifices without hesitation and would definitely let Ming Fuluo do what she is doing now...can she really do this with peace of mind?

Can she arbitrarily choose others to sacrifice and accept their love at the same time?

This fact seems to speak for Ansel:

No matter how lofty your ideals are, they cannot cover up your meanness at this moment.

Even though the reality was so cruel, Ming Furo had no reason to hate Ansher. She really thought so. Ansher just put the choice in front of her.

Young Hydra, a vicious devil, has no unconditional obligation to save others.

In the end, Ming Fuluo had no right to denounce Ansel's cruelty and could only despise her own ugliness.

What's even more absurd and ridiculous is that she has to endure the love and care of the people she sacrifices, despise her own ugliness, and... become more determined to make sacrifices.

Do you have any choice, Ming Fuluo?

Under this conspiracy, choosing to let Rong Geer or Hendrick make sacrifices without authorization would undoubtedly break her bottom line which was already as low as it could be. And she did say... as long as she could realize her ideal, she could sacrifice everything.

She told Anser that Erion failed because he was unwilling to make sacrifices.

This thought has haunted Ming Furo for fifteen years, from the death of Erion until today. Everything has been telling Ming Furo and instructing her on what to do.

Should she expect the mysterious man to strike again? No, the situation was so urgent that Anser had obviously seen through the mysterious man's intentions. The other party had already lost, and all she could do was obey.

In her mind, a voice urged Ming Fuluo to make the most appropriate choice and the most efficient sacrifice, because this was absolutely beneficial to the Tower of Babel. Only when the Tower of Babel grew stronger would she have the opportunity to reach the unreachable ideal star.

The voice said, no need to hesitate, Ming Fuluo, you have already gotten used to it, you were born this way.

You were born for this.

Chapter 8.5: Miss Doll's Trance (K)

In the spacious hall that can accommodate thousands of people, Anser, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, had no one on either side.

In other words, he was the only one sitting in the first row.

For Soren Canast, who also wanted to get a share of the inheritance of Grand Duke Shenghui and his family, any help could not be compared to Anser sitting here.

"Although you have your own purpose, Anser, you are willing to give me this face... How can I repay you for your kindness?"

Soran's shadow appeared beside Anser, wearing a white robe and crossing his legs. He sighed, "You don't even care about Nasema's legacy. I don't know how else I can help you."

"The last incident has helped me a lot." Anser said with a smile.

"That's just to repay you." Soran said helplessly, "Although that old guy is indeed difficult to deal with... after so many years of seclusion, his level has actually increased a bit. If I didn't have the Soul Orb in my hand, it would be hard to say who would win or lose."

He leaned back in his chair, stroking his chin and thinking: "How about I help you get rid of one of the magic element and the source tree? Then the South Territory will basically be under your control."

This neutral warlock from one of the nine highest seats in the Ether Academy said something very calmly that made people's scalps tingle.

"Hydra does not need to expand its territory now. That would be very troublesome, Lord Soran."

"...Yes, if the tricks in Hydra Territory are expanded to the entire southern territory, you will be in big trouble."

Soran laughed at first, then he looked a little sad: "But if you don't ask for anything, Anser, this will be another big favor. I owe you a favor... I feel a little uneasy."

Anser just smiled and said nothing, without answering Soran's words.

To him, Soran's favor is not so important now, but a good chess player will always put the chess piece in a perfect position that can bring advantages in any direction.

A fifth-level warlock who is proficient in soul magic and whose strength has reached a new level after possessing a relic from the sky called the Soul Orb. He is very handy whether it is for laying the groundwork in advance or for counterattack.

What's more, Anser is now supporting "Sauron" not because he originally wanted to help him.

For Anser, as long as he could put pressure on the Tower of Babel and force Ming Furo to make a choice, it made no difference which faction of the Ether Institute he chose.

He just picked someone who could maximize the benefits, and Sauron himself was well aware of this, so he was so eager to reward Anser.
