The villain's way to tame the protagonist

The scholar lady's expression was slightly sluggish, and she opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she rarely refused to be stubborn, nor did she do anything else. She just sat obediently on Anser's shoulder.

Ansher promised Ming Fuluo that he would not disturb her casually, but as time went by, he had some new ideas, and Ming Fuluo's current reaction also proved that his ideas were correct.

——The scholar who has been trapped in her obsession for twenty-one years is still immersing her mind in research and learning. Does she really want to continue like this?

Ansel didn't think so, and if Ming Fuluo really thought so, then he needed to do something to correct the idea of ​​this awkward woman. After all, friends should help each other.

He deprived Ming Fuluo of the opportunity to walk in the mortal world, so naturally he had to take on the responsibility and see this world with her.

Soon, the old wooden door slowly opened. Inside the half-open door, a haggard-looking man grabbed the door and asked cautiously, "Who are you..."

Anser handed the commission to the man: "This commission from the executioner was issued by you, right?"

The man's expression froze, even his deep fatigue was frozen at this moment.

He did not accept the commission, but the door panel creaked due to the hand grabbing it. He wanted to say something, but his voice was mute due to the added fear, which made people feel sad and pitiful.

"It's... me, are you... are you the adventurer?"

He could hardly control his emotions, but as if he was afraid of offending Anser, his voice was choked and even distorted: "My son—"

"There is no trace of him in the lair of the colorful snake."

Anser shook his head, and when the man almost fell to the ground, he added calmly:

"But it doesn't mean we can't find him."

Young Hydra looked at the laborer living in the dark city of Strife Castle. He had to work in mines or other places with almost no safety facilities, risking death at any time.

He probably has lost his wife and only has this son left.

Ming Fuluo, Xitana and the others could not understand the question: why do these people insist on living here? Anser had already understood this during his journey and hardships three years ago.

In fact, Ansel already had the ability to make changes at that time, but he didn't.

And this time...

Anser said nothing and turned to look at the girl who was following him.

The moment her eyes met Anser's, Marina understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward and spoke for Anser:

"This is not a difficult task for Mr. Faust. But correspondingly, compared with its difficulty, the reward you give..."

When she said this, Marina was actually ready to confront Ming Furo.

The garden does not have the right to record every detail of Ansher's closest people, but Marina can infer what kind of person Ming Furo is from the known records.

Although the scholar in the file behaved extremely unkindly, her essence was still kind. Marina thought that her ambition to reform the world and open up the future was something she could never achieve.

But the petite woman sitting on Ansel's shoulder didn't say anything. She just looked quietly at the man who was trembling all over at the moment, with a complicated look in her eyes, that was all.

Miss Ming Furo...is not like Xier, who has an unyielding commitment to goodness and justice.

While Marina was thinking about this, the man inside had already opened the door, knelt down in front of Anser, and said in a trembling voice: "As long as I can find my son, I am willing to accept any price! Please help me... help me!"

Ansher still didn't say anything, and he just gave the right to make an offer to Marina, making her the omnipotent adventurer who was begged, the high and mighty... extraordinary person.

How could Marina not understand what Ansel meant? But she didn't say anything at the first time. Instead, she looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a dazed look on her face.

In the Red Frost Territory, as Anser's agent, she had seen others begging her like this before, and there were many such pleas from people who were willing to risk everything, even their own lives.

But they are all different from... the feeling in front of me.

What is the difference between a mortal's begging to a supernatural being and others' begging to me as Hydra's agent?

Marina was in a trance for only a moment, then she came back to her senses. What she should consider now is how to offer a price that will make Anser agree, rather than these empty things. She also hoped that Anser could help this man find his son, but the first priority was Anser's attitude.

After thinking for a while, Marina said softly:

"How much money do you have now?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately crawled back into the house. There was a clanging sound of rummaging in the dilapidated house. Soon, he knelt in front of Anser, holding a box containing dozens of scattered copper and silver coins.

Marina walked forward, and when her eyes fell on the dirty coins in the box, she looked a little reluctant, but she still silently poured all the coins into the cloth bag.

Taking everything was necessary to beg for the adventurer's help; taking only these was Anser's kindness to the other party.

Anser did not comment on this, and seemed to agree with Marina's approach: "I will find your son within three days. Whether he is dead or alive, you will be able to see him."

Having said this, he turned and left without even looking at the poor father.

But Marina couldn't help but glance at him secretly.

She saw the conflicting expression of grief and relief on the man's tearful face, as if he had been redeemed.

This made Marina couldn't help but think -

Could it be that being willing to help mortals is already a sign of kindness from a supernatural being?

On the bridge that spanned the streets at both ends, Anser listened to Ming Fuluo's unpleasant complaints:

"Three days to find someone who didn't leave any clues or traces? You still want me to do it?"

"You are too good at ordering people around, Anser. I am not your subordinate... not really."

"Besides, a symbolic copper coin should be enough. Is it necessary to take all of it?"

Hearing this, Anser coughed lightly and said, "It was Marina who took everything, not me."

"Shameless brat!" Miss Scholar stepped on Anser's shoulder even more unhappily: "Don't put the blame on others. Will she take everything without your permission?"

Marina wanted to say that she acted on her own ideas and did not get Ansel's instructions, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that she had no right to interrupt their conversation, and Ming Furo was definitely not serious.

"Stop complaining, dear Miss Monster."

Anser casually pinched the back of little Ming Fuluo's collar and pulled her in front of him with a smile: "If I don't find that boy quickly, my reputation will be damaged."

"What does your damaged reputation have to do with me...let go!"

——Although they could disperse and regroup at any time, Ming Furo still asked Ansher to let go.

After sitting back on Anser's shoulder, although his expression was still unhappy, he said: "Let's go back and take a look around that den. The human trafficker should have other places to imprison slaves. If it doesn't work..."

Miss Scholar paused and snorted, "Just ask your puppy. She will definitely wag her tail and help you."

This look clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with the fact that Anser did not avoid Hitana but met with her openly.

"Xi'er? She doesn't have the time. If nothing unexpected happens—"

boom! ! !

In the lower city area that was like a deep well, a heart-wrenching explosion suddenly came from the vertical sky in the center, and most of the lower city area was trembling with fear at the loud noise.

Anser shrugged: "She's very busy now."

"Do you need to make such a big fuss to deal with a few level 3 transcendents holding some toys in their hands?"

Ming Fuluo looked up at the sky and frowned slightly: "No, it's not her, it's... huh?!"

The petite woman's expression changed slightly when she realized something was wrong. She turned to look at Anser with a slightly fixed gaze:

"Don't need to help her?"

"I'm not the one who can help." Anser said slowly, "I didn't come here to help Xier - who would have thought that she would suddenly come to Strife Castle?"

Ming Fuluo, who was a little worried just now, narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this:

"Are you laughing at me for being jealous?"

"I didn't say you were jealous."

"So you're saying I'm being unreasonable?"

"You are indeed a little unreasonable."

"Why, you hate me?"

"I dare not do that."

It was clear from the words that they were quarreling, but the tone was indeed a bit disgusting no matter how you listened to it.

Marina looked at the petite figure sitting on Ansel's shoulder, close to his cheek. After a while, she lowered her eyes and stared at the road in front of her.

For Marina, who was used to the avenues of the imperial capital, the dark and dirty paths in the downtown area were not easy to walk on.

*

At the same time, Hitana didn't know that about forty or fifty meters below her, the boy she was thinking about happened to pass by on the bridge.

With her dark red eyes gleaming fiercely, she was now half-crouching on the handrail of the aisle, like a hunting wolf ready to pounce.

In front of the girl, four extraordinary people were either frightened, or trying hard, or calmly maintaining a fighting posture. It seemed that a fight was about to break out between the two sides, but no one took action.

"You better think it over..."

Xitana said word by word: "If one more innocent person dies, I will crush one more of your bones before letting you die."

The brutal words that uttered from her pink lips were like sharp blades, or rather... the fierce aura emanating from her inside out made her every move carry a terror that ordinary extraordinary people could not resist at all.

Among these four extraordinary people, two of them had already begun to retreat under Xitana's gaze, but there was another person who was not afraid at all and said calmly:

"Ms. Fenrir, we have never intended to harm any citizen of Strife Castle."

"Then you bastards, unleash the explosive spell buried in the lower city right now!"

Shitana roared loudly, and the red and black shadow lingering behind her seemed to be some strange beast, which was difficult to see clearly, but the monster only gave a glance full of murderous intent, and the least resolute of the four extraordinary people immediately fell to the ground with weak legs and shrank back.

Hitana didn't expect that the guy up there would react so quickly. He sent a team of extraordinary people down almost immediately.

There were nine people in this team, all of them were third-level transcendents. After smelling their scent, Hitana naturally went to meet them as soon as possible, but she did not get the result she wanted.

They are not here to manage the downtown area, but to prove their worth.

Then Shitana showed them what she was capable of, and disabled five people in ten seconds.

In order to let them feel the pain, Sitana deliberately slowed down the pace for these ten seconds. However, she had to regret her little "arrogance" later.

No matter how ferocious and cruel Miss Wolf's expression was at the moment, her heart was still not at ease.

The construction of the lower city of Strife Castle is like a deep well, and all the buildings are stacked along the "well wall". Xitana asked the residents of the lower city why it was built like this, and the answer she got was that this was originally a huge mine dug outside when Strife Castle was expanded. After the ore veins here were mined out, the adventurers above transformed it into a larger lower city when they expanded Strife Castle because it was very close to Strife Castle.

In order to maintain the stability of the city, there are a large number of magic arrays on the stone walls surrounding the original mine to maintain the stability of the rocks. This is considered by most adventurers as a gift that gives them a place to stay.

Hitana was not a sorcerer, but after being reminded of this, she used the Head of Wind to explore and indeed discovered the existence of a large number of magic arrays. At that time, she thought that the people in the Castle of Strife were quite considerate and knew how to protect the safety of the residents in the lower city.

But when this group of extraordinary people came down, she realized...what protection is there? The magic array can reverse the effect at any time and turn it into a bomb that destroys the entire lower city! It can even control where the collapse is, limiting it to a certain area.

Hitana just didn't understand. Why did the extraordinary people...have to pick on mortals?

What's the purpose of designing something like this? What's the point? If the Lower Town is going to be destroyed from the beginning, then why build it?

The girl was unable to figure out the answer to this question and was already constrained by it.

It's not like she hasn't encountered people who threatened innocent people, the most shameless ones, the worst of the worst. But those people underestimated her speed and her strength.

What's more, no one would be like this group of lunatics, ready to bury the entire city's population in a bottomless mine at any time!

Xitana even used some real strength to intimidate the other party just now, but no matter how fierce and powerful she acted, as long as the other party was calm enough and realized that she would never want to see any innocent people implicated, they would not fall into a disadvantage.

And obviously... for an adventurer who has been struggling in this chaotic world for most of his life, it is not difficult to see the true nature of this girl who shows her emotions so clearly.

The leading adventurer remained calm: "This is not a blasting spell, Miss Fenrir. This is a necessary spell to maintain the stability of the buildings in the lower city."

"Fuck you!"

Xitana wished she could just twist the beast's neck off. She saw with her own eyes that wherever this man pointed, the stone wall would collapse. Fortunately, the collapsed part was an uninhabited part at the bottom of the lower city, and no one was injured.

She also knew that even if she killed all these people now, it would be useless unless she could kill all the extraordinary people in the entire Strife Castle in an instant. Otherwise, who could be sure that among the survivors, there was anyone who knew how to control this magic array?

"You don't believe it?" The man smiled. "If you don't believe it, you can go ask the residents of the lower city and ask them... whether they are willing to cancel this magic formation."

"..."

Hitana said nothing, and the red and black shadow of the monster behind her became more and more manic.

She was no longer the foolish and arrogant girl of the past. She could still vividly remember the instantaneous changes in the love and hatred of the residents of Red Frost City towards Anser. Hitana still couldn't understand the rage and hatred that surged in those people at that time, but she also understood... she shouldn't expect the civilians to cooperate with her actions.

"I'm doing this for their own good, so they will definitely stand on my side" - Xitana no longer has this naive idea.

But this does not mean that she will choose to give up on these people. Rather, it is precisely because of this ignorance that makes them unable to protect themselves that Xitana is more determined to protect them.

What should I do… The other party seems to want to negotiate with me. So far, they haven’t harmed civilians, which means they are indeed afraid of me. How can I use this fear? What should I do to protect the residents of the lower city from these beasts?

While maintaining a fierce look and murderous intent, Hitana's brain was working at its best, but she could not find a way out of the situation, which made her more and more anxious.

All of this was seen by the experienced adventurers.

He once went deep into the gate of the maze filled with alien monsters, and fought with many of his companions in the underground ruins of the Zhengtian Dynasty. Even after retiring from the front line, he could still scheme against his colleagues in other cities... The extraordinary person in front of him, who was like the incarnation of a monster, who could tear him to pieces with just a wave of his hand, was just a passionate and righteous girl.
