The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"After buying it, I finally understood what fresh air smells like. I feel so relaxed all over!"

"…Mibai Tower should be able to clean it up."

"Lord Mibaita is very busy. How could he possibly find time to help us?"

The passerby shook his head vigorously: "Every time we clean up, it costs Master Mibaita a lot of money and energy. Even if we want to... we dare not trouble him all the time."

absurd……

The corners of Ming Fuluo's eyes twitched slightly. What energy could a spell to purify the air consume? With the background of the Howling Legion, setting up a large-scale self-purification spell that was activated regularly at the bottom of the mine was like playing. They were still thinking about the Mibai Tower.

Maybe it’s because of that guy’s brainwashing skills… they’re just too powerful.

"But it's different with this." The man's eyes were full of hope. "With this thing, it seems that not only the stench here is gone, but the whole environment has become better. When the children grow up, they won't have any health problems!"

Ming Fuluo felt relieved after hearing these answers, but she still asked very carefully: "It... didn't cause any trouble, right? For example, if some bad guys took control of it, occupied it, and forced you to pay money..."

"Hahahaha, we were also worried about this matter at first! But Lord Mibaita had already considered it!"

The man laughed loudly and said with great yearning, "He still cares about us so much... I also heard that this thing is very expensive! Master Mibaita spent a lot of money to--"

"How could it be the Mibai Tower?" Ming Fuluo interrupted the man directly, "Isn't it Faust who keeps it running stably? Wasn't it Faust who created it?"

And the cost is high? It's just a little gadget I made myself, why is it said to be expensive?

"...Faust? It seems like that. He is the good guy who often helps us recently! I know that he is also a kind-hearted extraordinary person! But in the end, it is still Master Mibaita... Wait, how can you call Master Mibaita by his name?"

The man looked horrified, and he took two steps back in fear: "How could you...you, you, you are also a transcendent? Do you know Lord Mibaita?"

In a blink of an eye, the fear became even stronger. The man knelt down in front of Ming Fuluo, trembling, with his forehead pressed tightly to the ground. His voice trembled extremely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Transcendent, I didn't mean to offend you! I didn't recognize you, I really..."

His reaction attracted a lot of people's attention. Ming Furo, with a complicated expression, took a step back, cast the spell of forgetfulness, and disappeared. The man who looked up again with a confused expression, not knowing what he was doing, was left standing there, and walked to Anser.

"Do you want to continue?" asked the young Hydra in a gentle voice.

Ming Fuluo exhaled slowly: "...Continue."

They went down along the arrangement of purifiers. The further they went, the more people became dependent on and praised the purifiers. At the same time... the admiration and worship of the Mibai Tower made Ming Furo feel physically uncomfortable.

Until they arrived at the bottom of the lower city, which was the worst-hit area by pollution. There were six purifiers installed here. After wiping out the memory of the last person with ease, Ming Furo came to Ansel with a complicated expression, and looked at the dirty black water at the bottom of the pit with all kinds of garbage floating on it.

What Ming Fuluo was trying to create in the workshop just now was a large device that was intended to be installed at the bottom of the pit. It would save more magic crystals than simple purification techniques and solve the environmental problems in the lower city once and for all.

But now it seems that the problems in the downtown area...seem to be more than just environmental.

"Mibaita, that fake Mibaita, there is no way he would dare to take credit for your work."

Ming Fuluo murmured to herself, "He even wanted to cut off all ties with you and put all the good reputation on you. But why... do they respect Mibaita more?"

"In fact, if you hadn't been doing commissions to help civilians all this time, they might not even remember your name."

Just as Anser was about to speak, Ming Fuluo waved her hand again: "No, no need to tell me, I know, I can think of it."

"Mibita left a deep impression on them. No... not only that, but not just Mibaita. They themselves are a little abnormal, too blind and ignorant... no, that's not right, is it both..."

Ansher looked at Ming Furo quietly, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

As expected of a friend with whom he had great tacit understanding, after just this journey, he had vaguely grasped the key. However, he was still a step slower than Marina... or rather, much slower.

While Ming Furo was still hesitating, Marina had already made a judgment and took action.

After all...it's still the limitation of one's identity. It's already remarkable that Luo can think of this.

Just as Ansel was thinking this, Ming Furo's eyes suddenly brightened.

"I see!"

Anser chuckled and said, "Know what?"

"The problem lies with you, Anser!"

"..."

The young man was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Ming Fuluo to say that.

But he also found it interesting, and with one hand on his chin, he asked with great interest: "How do you say that?"

"The reason why Mibaita has such a high status in the hearts of the common people is simply because he has been operating in Strife Castle for many years."

Ming Fuluo said with great confidence: "If someone in Hydra Territory did something particularly beneficial to the people, most of the people would immediately attribute the credit to you."

Anser raised his eyebrows. In fact, he wanted to say that the reasons behind the two were completely different, but he still encouraged: "Then what?"

"Then... then it's very simple. As long as you do more and better things than that hypocritical guy, these civilians will naturally be biased towards you."

Ming Fuluo held Anser's hand and said seriously, "You have only been doing commissions for a while, and many people remember you. What if it is not a commission? What if it is something more important, more meaningful, and more influential? With your ability, Anser, it is easy for you to replace Mibai Tower and the object of worship in the hearts of more civilians."

Anser felt that the amused smile on his face faded a little. He pondered for a moment, then asked Ming Fuluo attentively:

"But your initial question wasn't this, Luo. What you want to know is not the problem with the purifier and the follow-up..."

"All I want to know are questions. Any questions."

Ming Fuluo responded: "As long as I can find a problem and solve it, that's progress for me, and it doesn't matter what type of problem it is."

"But what does this have to do with who is more important, me or Mibaita?"

"How can it be unrelated?" Ming Fuluo frowned, "Why do you compare yourself to that trash? Do you want to insult me ​​indirectly, Anser?"

She stretched out her hands, held Anser's cheeks, and said word by word:

"The relationship is that you are an amazing person, Anser. If they admire and follow you, you will definitely give them peace and happiness."

Anser, who was forced to stare into those purple eyes, did not speak at this moment.

But Ming Fuluo said with an unprecedented firmness: "The common people are not wrong, and their ignorance is not wrong. They cannot choose their birth, environment, or leaders...so the ignorance they are showing now is not their nature, but the influence of countless external factors."

"If it wasn't Mibaita who led them, but a righteous, kind, strong, far-sighted and wise man who led them, they wouldn't be what they are now."

"The world would not be what it is now."

"Anser...my Anser."

Ming Fuluo was extremely grateful, and she pressed her forehead against Anser's with great affection:

"You are that person."

After a brief silence, Anser chuckled.

"But the words you described are too far away from me, Luo."

Anser patted Ming Fuluo on the back and said jokingly, "Have you forgotten what you told Xier before? I'm not a good person."

Ming Fuluo said without turning her head: "That was in the past. When you were training that puppy, you were indeed not a good person."

"So I am now?" The young Hydra tilted his head slightly.

"Not yet."

Ming Fuluo looked at Anser tenderly: "But it's just, not yet."

"You will, Anser, I am sure you will."

"..."

You will be an honest, kind and strong person.

Ming Furo said this about him, and Xitana believed it even more.

Good people...

Anelisa's words and her mother's gentle prayers still echo in Anser's ears from time to time.

Sometimes Anser would also feel incredible, how did those four heroes build a new country and a new order on the ruins? Was it just an illogical passing by in the game, or was it a possible future?

Because Anser believed that such a grand change could never be achieved as easily as a joke.

Even if the empire is defeated, even if the old world is destroyed, the birth of a new order will still be based on a long and complex struggle.

——Built on that difficult struggle mixed with darkness, blood hatred, conspiracy, and fighting.

But if... if that wasn't a fairy tale that the game disregarded logic in order to create a happy ending, but a future that actually existed...

Does that mean he can make some... changes?

He was reluctant to tell Ming Fuluo his understanding, both because he hoped Ming Fuluo could get out of her own way and because he was also thinking about this matter.

Thinking...how should he proceed from now on.

It goes without saying that he has to fight against fate. Although he is no longer willing to sacrifice his parents like before, Ansel will still firmly do whatever it takes, no matter good or evil.

But what else? His life is no longer just a desperate struggle and revenge against fate. His father and mother are alive, and two girls who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him also need his help.

He even had already vaguely picked up his past visions, and had a slightly ardent desire for the innocent and naive fantasies of his childhood.

Be a good person, Arthur

The way back is hard, Anser.

But you had two girls who trusted you, loved you, and had unparalleled talents, and you saved the lives of your father and mother.

From now on, do you have more choices?

Just as Ansher was immersed in such thoughts, a black shadow suddenly fell from above with a roar.

Ming Furo was quick-witted and quick-handed, and instantly used Nidhogg to catch the black shadow that almost fell into the foul and smelly pit.

"What happened! Who did it?!"

Ming Furo's tone was extremely angry. Ansel turned his gaze to the black shadow she caught and soon understood why she was angry.

Because the black shadow who almost fell to death in the sewage at the bottom of the pit was clearly a teenager, a not-so-old child.

Chapter 6: The gradually peeling coat (K)

In the middle of downtown, Marina stood in a room, looking down through the window at the chaotic scene on the street.

Three or four tattooed, ferocious-looking guys were surrounded by some civilians, and their increasingly angry roars could be heard here.

"It seems... not enough."

The girl with her arms crossed tapped her arm with her index finger and looked at the others thoughtfully. The others who were still watching whispered:

"Even at this point, it's still not okay?"

This situation was also within Marina's expectations. As long as the majority or even all people were not indifferent, these people in the downtown area could still be helped.

What she was most worried about was that these civilians, because of their long-term life at the bottom of society, would lose their last bit of blood and dignity due to their hope and desire for the "gifts" from the extraordinary people. If that was the case... then they, at least this group of people, were completely hopeless.

With this thought in mind, Marina took out the communication magic crystal and said calmly: "Continue to stimulate them and provoke their anger."

Then, among the hooligans who were blocked, someone suddenly shouted loudly:

"You're looking for death, eh? That kid dared to steal our money, this is the price! Don't think you'll be alright just by running to the city to submit the commission. I tell you... they can't help you bunch of stinky bugs forever!"

…Adventurers are really good at trash talking.

The gangsters who were surrounded, and the boy who was thrown down and caused public outrage, were all idle adventurers that Marina asked for from Mibaita.

The original gangster had been dealt with, and the boy was arranged by Marina to be fostered by a family in the upper city and had no intention of returning here.

At present, there is no need for human sacrifice, but judging from the current situation... a bigger flame is needed to ignite the blood in the hearts of the civilians.

At that time, simply acting might not be enough.

Marina whispered in her heart as she looked at the group of civilians who were obviously enraged but didn't dare to step forward.

"A week... No, three to five days should be enough."

The girl leaning against the window slowly finalized her next plan.

"Continuously provoke real conflicts and constantly arouse their hatred and anger. If they can collectively or mostly fight back, then you can continue."

The order of the lower city is no order. Mibaita and other adventurers use this place as a tool for entertainment and never really care about how it develops. There is no clear administrative system and no one has a job division. Therefore, the previous situation of order being controlled by gangs was formed.

But the three biggest leaders have been dealt with by Xier, and they have gained a certain degree of confidence on this basis. In addition, all the civilians have previously jointly commissioned the extraordinary people to wipe out the remaining gangsters... Their awe of these former rulers should have reached the lowest point.

All the first and second level extraordinary people in the lower city were cleared out, and the remaining gangsters were actually just ordinary people.

If they don't have the courage to fight back under such circumstances, then Marina can only abandon this testing ground and let Mibaita pretend to be peaceful to Sitana so that she can leave here quickly.

The focus in the future will be on how to use the Strife Castle as the center, make good use of the connections of Mibai Tower, the Howling Legion, the Executioner, and even Grand Duke Qingjin, to spread a huge network to the entire Western Kingdom.

This network will definitely help Mr. Anser. Even though Shadow Swamp's forces are spread throughout the Western Country, their main focus is on finding Ivora, so there will eventually be omissions, and I can fill these omissions.

After Xier's troubles here are resolved, I may be able to use this network to stabilize her subsequent experience. In this way, Rhine will need me even more.
