The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Recognize the reality that no matter how clearly she sees, nothing can be changed, or...

"This is just the beginning. As long as we succeed this time, from now on... with the help of Lord Anser, the teacher's vision will not be impossible, Ming Fuluo!"

Hendrick's passionate voice did not arouse Ming Fuluo's emotions, but instead made her a little dazed.

What if this is what he wants?

[I am too weak, A'Luo... Ming Fuluo. I shouldn't have thought that using such a gentle method would be enough——]

"Well!"

The petite female scholar staggered back a step. The tearing pain coming from the depths of her soul made her subconsciously reach out to cover her forehead, and her face twitched slightly.

Tall buildings, heavy rain, gray...sky.

The young blond boy stood in the rain curtain, and the sea-blue eyes that she was familiar with turned into pitch-black snake eyes that she had never seen before.

That gaze... that disappointed, angry, numb gaze, penetrated the rain curtain, tore out of control, and fell on Ming Furo's soul.

Being stared at by that gaze, Ming Fuluo staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the coldness of the heavy rain and the biting wind of the hurricane.

But the gaze of those pitch-black snake eyes was chilling enough.

"Ming Fuluo, Ming Fuluo?"

Hendrick was startled by Ming Furo's sudden action and hurriedly reached out to help her, but the latter waved her hand to refuse.

"...I'm fine."

Ming Fuluo covered her forehead and lowered her head slightly: "Yes, it's about memory."

"Memory... the memory that was damaged when it was placed in the puppet, has it finally been gradually restored?"

This made Hendrick feel relieved, but he still said with a little concern: "But you look uncomfortable, do you want to find--"

“No need.” Ming Fuluo, who had regained her balance, shook her head. “Ms. Rong Geer’s former mentor Myron told me that sudden flashbacks and discomfort are normal, which means I am recovering well.”

"...Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us, okay?"

The middle-aged man, who already looked a little old, said seriously: "Everything is on track now. Ming Fuluo, don't be too stressed. This is the teacher... cough."

Hendrick suddenly coughed, and then his voice seemed to become a little low: "This is what the teacher doesn't want to see..."

Ming Fuluo, who was thinking about that memory, did not notice the abnormality, but when the topic turned to Erion, her thoughts immediately returned to reality.

Regarding the matter of Erion... Ming Furo was also hesitating whether she should tell Hendrick and Ronggel.

At the beginning, she acted privately and the cost was huge, so she didn't want them to know about it, but now... Anser can provide clues, and the price is much more affordable than Suslun's crazy price. In addition, Hendrick and the others trust Anser, so they should not delve too deeply into the issue of the price.

Hendrick and the others... must have been waiting for the truth for too long, just like me.

Ming Fuluo opened her mouth and was about to tell Hendrick about this, but quickly calmed down.

But now it's just a clue... If I want to reveal the truth, I have to do it myself.

When you get the answer, tell them.

Restraining the impulse in her heart, Ming Fuluo said calmly: "Then, after the completion test of the soil strengthening agent is completed, let me handle it. I will go and communicate with Lord Anser."

Hendrick answered without thinking: "Of course, I think this matter can only be entrusted to you, Ming Fuluo."

He placed his hand on Ming Furo's shoulder very solemnly, even forgetting her resistance to physical contact, his eyes full of anticipation and brilliance.

"You must be someone who can change the world. The teacher believes in you so much, and we also believe it firmly."

"…Thanks, Hendrick."

In the fifteen years since Erion's death, Hendrick, Ronggel, and several other students of Erion have raised Mingfuluo and given her the best resources and the best education.

Although... there is almost no outpouring of affection here, even the maternal Rong Geer always keeps a distance from Ming Furo, but this is just right for Ming Furo.

She no longer needs roles like father or mother in her life. A simple guide... is more useful than anything else.

Staring at the few important people left in her life, Ming Fuluo responded softly to her resolution:

"I will, Hendrick, no matter if it's Grandpa, or you, or the empire that needs to change, or the common people."

【Why are you chasing these? 】

Even though the nightmare swung its scythe again, Miss Doll said without hesitation: "I will not let any of you down."

Hendrick smiled with relief: "I know, you can do it, Ming Fuluo... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you an important thing. I should have come to you first."

He patted his forehead and said, "What you told me has made me lose my mind... Your Highness Susilun, remember? That little princess."

"..." Hearing this name, Ming Fuluo instantly had a bad feeling in her heart. She frowned slightly, "She? What's wrong?"

"She is also ordering a customized data system from us. According to her, she has very high requirements for this system and wants to meet with you alone to discuss it."

"Su Silun..."

Ming Fuluo recalled the things about the little princess and whispered thoughtfully: "She wants the data system. What does she want to do?"

Is he going to continue suppressing Ivora as the emperor wants? If so... he should not get involved in their fight. It would not benefit Babel and would bring a lot of trouble to Anser.

But no matter what, at least we have to meet.

"When will she meet with me?" Ming Fuluo asked.

"Let me help you contact her. She said that as long as I contact her, she will come as soon as possible."

Hendrick laughed and seemed very happy: "His Highness Susilun thinks highly of you, Ming Fuluo."

"...Your Highness." Ming Fuluo sneered as she chewed on the word, but didn't say much.

"Then I'll go to your office and wait for her."

Ming Fuluo turned and walked out of the alchemy workshop. Halfway there, she looked back at Hendrick and saw his face, which looked old even for a fifth-level warrior due to long-term mental stress.

"...Hendrick," she said suddenly.

"What's wrong? Ming Fuluo?" The man quickly turned his head and looked at her gently.

"You too, have a good rest." Ming Fuluo carefully chose her words, "Babel is already getting better, you don't have to... put so much pressure on yourself anymore."

Hendrick was stunned.

But Ming Fuluo didn't say anything more and left quickly.

But Hendrick's gaze was still fixed there. For fifteen years...the petite girl who was always a child in his eyes seemed to have not changed at all.

But it has already changed into another appearance that no one can imagine.

These were clearly heartwarming words, but after Ming Furo left, Hendrick's eyes looked sad and dazed.

After a long, long time, he lowered his eyes and whispered to himself:

"Teacher, if you could see this scene, you would definitely be... very pleased."

*

Ming Fuluo was in the office and soon met Su Silun who came to discuss business with her.

The little princess was still wearing a pure white, elegant long dress, as pure and beautiful as the noble irises blooming in the flower fields.

She sat elegantly opposite Ming Furo with her legs slanted together, her smile gentle yet approachable and playful.

"Ms. Zeger, you should have understood my intention from Mr. Hendrick."

"Your request..."

Ming Fuluo flipped through the documents in her hand, her long eyebrows becoming increasingly furrowed.

When Ming Furo saw this request for the first time, her heart skipped a beat.

Because she saw the point of "creating a data system that can be divided into sub-bodies and allow most people to hold the data system at the same time", she thought that the true value of the data system proposed by Anser had been discovered.

But it seemed that Susilun did not discover this, but simply approached that point.

But she was able to think of using the data system for this and to expand it like this... She is worthy of being the princess appointed by the emperor to fight against Ivora.

"Why, is it difficult?" Su Silun tilted her head slightly, "I think with Miss Zeger's level, it shouldn't be a problem."

"...I am only a third-level warlock now." Ming Furo put the information on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Su Silun. It was obvious that she had no intention of taking up the deal.

This is natural. Ming Fuluo will not allow anything to happen that may lead to the true function of the data system being exposed.

As for the reason, just find one that makes sense and make an excuse.

But Su Silun didn't seem to be planning to give up. She raised her eyebrows and said, "But as far as I know, the creation of the data system relies entirely on Miss Zeger's extraordinary understanding and cognitive ability, as well as her own unique logical system. As for the requirements for strength, they are not that strict, right?"

Without waiting for Ming Fuluo to answer, she chuckled, "You don't have to find a reason to reject me. You can just say it directly, Miss Zeger."

"..." Ming Fuluo was silent for a moment, then answered calmly, "Then, can I refuse?"

"Of course I don't have the ability to force you to agree."

Su Silun's smile was friendly and powerful, and she was approachable: "I don't have that thought, because I am not my dangerous sister."

"But... before you refuse, don't you want to hear what price I will offer?"

"This is not a price tag—"

"Erion."

Su Silun narrowed her eyes. "In addition to the abundant resources and the favor and support of the four factions of the Ether Academy, I am also willing to provide a key clue about Erion's death."

"The first point may be dispensable, but the second and third points..."

She looked at Ming Fuluo, whose expression was frozen, and her smile became brighter: "I think this should be enough for you to consider carefully, Miss Zeger?"

"……Do not."

After taking a deep breath, Ming Fuluo refused again: "Unless you change the requirements for the customized data system, I will not agree because the value is not equal."

"About...Grandpa's death."

As if to put pressure on Su Silun, Ming Fuluo said in a deep voice: "Sir Anser will help me."

"Hmm? But does that conflict with me giving you clues?"

Su Silun was not annoyed at all. Instead, she still advised and tempted with a smile: "What Lord Anser gave you should only be clues, right? Because you can't afford the price of getting the answer from him all at once. In this case... why don't you get some clues from me, and then get some clues from Lord Anser, and exchange them for the truth at the lowest price?"

"Look, all I want is a data system."

"..."

Ming Fuluo was silent.

Yes, if we have the clues provided by Susilun, plus the clues provided by Ansel... maybe it won't take long to find out the cause of grandpa's death, the murderer, and the truth.

But the data system... no, absolutely not.

Simple customization is fine, but it will threaten Anser's idea and the possibility of Ethernet, and should not exist!

Seeing that Ming Fuluo was still silent, the confident and sweet smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Are you... a little too greedy, Miss Ming Fuluo?" Su Silun's tone turned slightly colder. "Does the support of Lord Anser give you so much courage? Do you really think that Lord Anser values ​​you so much?"

"I just can't make that thing according to your request."

Ming Fuluo stared into Su Silun's eyes and answered.

"……what?"

The little princess frowned even more deeply: "Really can't do it?"

"It is too difficult to split the common sub-body from the data system. I can't do it now, and naturally no one else can do it."

"..."

Su Silun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he asked again: "When can you finish it as soon as possible?"

"At least in years."

Hearing this, the little princess closed her eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds, returning to her gentle and beautiful appearance just now.

"Well, I'll change the conditions. Forget about the sub-body... I'll just follow the initial basic requirements and strengthen them a little bit - make this data system into the most stable and largest spell record library. Can you do that?"

"That's no problem, but you need to complete the data entry work yourself." Ming Furo answered without thinking.

Her decisive answer made Su Silun look better. The pure girl, like an iris, raised her head slightly and smiled brightly, "Very good, I like your straightforwardness. The accounts and resources will be sent to Babel Tower as soon as possible. The people from the four departments of the Ether Academy will come back to exchange and learn. This is the simplest way to show sincerity - of course, we are not here to provoke trouble. Let your people pay attention too."

"As for the end..."
