The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"It's still far from enough... Is this the limit?"

“When we fight, we can’t reveal Hydra’s aura. But if we don’t, we won’t be able to use our full strength, grunt…”

Xitana bit her nails and paced back and forth in the courtyard, thinking hard: "Is there any way to avoid exposing my identity and still have a good fight?"

"Should we ask Lina - ah, she's not a superhuman, so it seems useless to ask her."

Ever since Marina came, she no longer had to worry about anything, which sometimes made Hitana have the illusion that Marina was omnipotent. Although she occasionally forced herself to accept knowledge, it was at least countless times better than when she was forced to take over the lower city.

Anyway, I was looking for someone to manage this place, so who could I find? Lina could do it better than anyone else!

Next, I just need to find someone with good character who can take over those things from Lina, and then fight with Ansher, and then I can set off!

The anticipation of the duel with Anser and the prospect of the subsequent journey made Hitana's blood boil again. Her already tired body was filled with strength again. She jumped twice on the spot and prepared to practice for a while longer.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the back door.

Before Xitana could ask, the person knocking on the door said, "Ms. Fenrir, it's me."

"Oh, Lina!" Xitana's eyes lit up, "Come in quickly, why are you knocking on the door?"

Marina pushed the door open and bowed slightly to Sitana. But before she could speak, the sweaty Miss Wolf hugged her in a bear hug and laughed:

"Lina, how come you have time to come and see me?"

"…There are some things I need to report to you."

Marina gently pushed her sister's firm and full breasts, but after a few unsuccessful attempts, she could only let go of her hands and let her hold her like this.

"Report to me? Why report to me?"

Xitana blinked and said, "Lina, whatever you want to do, just do it."

Marina sighed: "Ms. Fenrir, we agreed that you have to learn to handle some things independently."

"Well...ah...that...let's talk about it later!" The older girl's eyes wandered, trying to evade the question. "Anyway, you can handle these things, Lina. I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

"so."

Marina lowered her eyes slightly and said in a very soft voice: "You don't care, do you?"

"……what?"

"I mean, you don't really care what these people in downtown are like, do you?"

The girl raised her head and said this, and her eyes made Xitana feel panic for some reason.

"How can it be!"

Although she was inexplicably panicked, Xitana still answered loudly: "How could I not care about them! If I didn't care, I would have left long ago!"

At this point, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't let me catch that Mibaita, or I will break his bones and hang him in the lower city!"

Marina still looked at her quietly: "Then why are you unwilling to learn the knowledge that can help them?"

"I...I just can't learn it."

If someone else had asked her this question, Xitana would have yelled back, but since this question was asked by her sister, the girl could only whisper like a wronged big dog: "Those are messy, guessing, and what else...what about control, balance and other things, I just can't learn them."

"Is it that difficult?" Marina held Sitana's hand. Her voice was gentle, but the strength in her hand was increasing. "Ms. Fenrir, is this really a difficult thing?"

“…It’s very difficult for me!”

Xitana felt very aggrieved and couldn't help but yelled, "I'm not you, Lina! I just can't do it!"

At this point, Xitana couldn't help but continue, "Lina, you are so smart, you learn everything quickly, you can understand everything Anser says, and you can help him with many complicated things... It's completely different from me. I can't do anything except fighting, and Anser basically doesn't need me to fight."

She looked at her sister with great envy:

"I really envy you, Lina...Lina?"

Seeing that Marina was absent-minded for some reason, Xitana subconsciously reminded her.

The girl in front of her came back to her senses after she was in a trance, and soon smiled at Xitana: "I just... thought of something. Sorry, Miss Fenrir."

Without waiting for Xitana to speak, Marina took the initiative to ask: "So do you still want to listen to what I was going to report? Or...I can handle it myself?"

Her voice was soft and her tone was gentle, but there was an indescribable strangeness. This whole sentence... seemed to be giving Xitana one last chance.

"Oh, I told you not to tell me!"

But Hitana, who had absolute trust in Marina, didn't think about it at all, and she wouldn't think about it at all.

She hugged Marina tightly again and said with a bright smile: "Lina is so concerned about these things. She is busy from morning till night every day. She cares about them more than I do!"

In Hitana's eyes, her sister is a thousand times more reliable and kinder than a fool like her.

He is devoted to his family and friendly to the villagers. After following Anser... he did not become a bad guy. He never looked down on civilians. He is kind to everyone and always does his best!

If she can't trust Marina with the task, then Hitana really doesn't know who to hand it over to.

"I understand, Miss Fenrir."

Marina smiled gently at the girl in front of her, who was becoming more and more powerful and seemed to be gradually undergoing a transformation. "Everything that happens from now on..."

"Please rest assured, leave it to me."

Xitana's eyes widened slightly, and her expression gradually became ecstatic: "So Lina, what you mean is... I don't have to learn those weird things in the future, and I don't have to worry about it?"

"Yes, I will be responsible for handling all matters in the Lower Town."

Marina bowed slightly: "You only need to consider Mr. Faust's trial."

"Great!"

I had originally thought of letting Marina do everything, but I felt that this was a bit too much, so Sitana, who didn't know how to start, cheered excitedly:

"That's great, Lina! Ah, I mean, um, thank you for your help."

"No, Miss Fenrir."

Marina said softly, "During the competition with Mr. Faust, please remember not to reveal your identity. Mr. Faust gave me the trial probably because he wanted to confuse the outside world and blur the relationship between you and him."

"Hey, I understand! I was just thinking about how to avoid exposing my identity."

Miss Wolf laughed and waved her fist vigorously: "I will never let you and Anser down, don't worry!"

"Me too, Miss Fenrir."

Marina stared at her sister. Her red eyes, which had the same blood as hers, had grown darker since some point, as if shrouded in a cold and lonely shadow.

"I will never let Mr. Faust down, never."

She bowed to Sitana one last time and then turned and left.

"Bye, Lina! If you run into any trouble, feel free to come to me!"

Shitana waved vigorously to her dearest sister and watched her leave. Then, she could no longer suppress the passion in her heart and cheered with joy.

Next, you don’t have to worry about anything and can focus wholeheartedly on the battle with Anser!

Lina, my Hao Lina, I love you so much!

Hmm...wait.

Miss Wolf, who was having fun in the backyard, slowed down a little and finally stopped completely.

She realized something belatedly.

[I really envy you]

It's broken! Did Ansel tell me that I can't say this to Lina, because she will be very sad!

Shitana slapped her head suddenly, and an anxious and panicked expression immediately appeared on her face. She quickly ran to the backyard gate, ready to catch up with Marina to explain clearly.

But when she put her hand on the door handle, the girl paused again.

...Lina didn't seem to show any expression of abnormality at that time.

Thinking about the time when Ansel said this to me, it was a long time ago. Lina is now completely different from the past. She is so powerful and so trusted by Ansel. She is no longer a small character.

I envy her...isn't that normal?

If I chase her and explain, Lina will feel that she is being looked down upon. No, no, no...

Thinking of this, Shitana let go of the door handle and didn't intend to explain anything.

Luckily I was smart enough and almost did something bad by accident. Lina didn't act strange, so why should I be anxious?

If there was anything strange about it, why did Lina ask me that question at that time? Why did she doubt that I didn't really care about the people in the downtown area? This is quite strange...

Never mind, it must be Lina's idea to force me to go back and learn those weird things, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just need to think about fighting Anser next.

Thinking in this way, the Pure Wolf threw himself once again into the endless pursuit of strength.

On the other side, Marina walked on the corridor with slow steps, like a ghost.

Of course she knew that Xitana cared about the civilians in the lower city, so why did she ask that question?

Because she wasn't asking Sitana, she was asking herself.

"Evil deeds." The girl murmured softly, "I am doing evil deeds?"

Ming Furo's questioning made Marina confused and panicked at the time, but not long after, Marina regained her composure and was simply in a state of confusion.

With such confusion, she found her sister and questioned her own actions by asking her whether she really wanted to help civilians.

Unfortunately, Sitana did not give Marina a clear enough answer, but she found a new key point for Marina.

——Miss Wolf guessed correctly. In fact, Marina no longer cared about words like “I envy you”.

She is no longer the little village girl in the Red Frost Territory who was blessed by the goddess of luck and became a follower of Anser. She absorbed knowledge day and night, unwilling to let the opportunity before her slip away, and even more afraid of it slipping away. Therefore, she would tremble and shrink all day long.

Therefore, Hitana's words did not make Marina feel unhappy, but instead reminded her.

ability.

What Xi'er can do, I can't do. But the reverse is also true.

It's not just political affairs, not just ordinary clerical work, but something deeper that Xier or even Miss Ming Furo may not be able to do.

—I know what Mr. Anser wants.

Mr. Anser's action at that time was not necessarily to help me out of the predicament. He just needed a chance to explain why I appeared next to Fenrir.

But at the same time...he might not have just taken action with this idea in mind.

Mr. Anser knew what I wanted to do. He knew that I would use shady means to force the civilians in the lower city, to test their bottom line, and to control their behavior.

Because he wanted to do that too...but for some reason, he hesitated.

Just as according to Mr. Anser's original plan, he also intended to control the executioner to disguise Faust's identity, and just wait for the opportunity.

I did these two things first.

At the same time, Mr. Anser did not stop it, so he was not cleaning up the mess for me, but... walking on the path I paved for him.

So, are the so-called evil deeds necessary?

Mr. Anser wants to be the sun. Just as Miss Ming Fuluo said, he does have a desire for goodness deep in his heart.

But at the same time, Mr. Anser is an amazing, great genius who sees so many things.

He is not as naive as Xier or you, Miss Ming Fuluo.

——There is no change without sacrificing anything.

Mr. Anser knows better than anyone how difficult and arduous it is to change this distorted world, so he would not choose to harbor such naive fantasies.

Heroes only exist in fairy tales, but Mr. Anser is a reformer living in reality.

If you all cannot agree with his approach, if you all insist on being the hero in the fairy tale.

I will be Mr. Anser's foundation, I will be Mr. Anser's fuel.

Two black suns seemed to rise in the dark eyes of Marina Lancemalos.

For my...sun.

How should I put it? The day before yesterday I said I had a great idea, and I really planned to write it down, but when I started typing today... I really felt a fear that I had no idea where to start.

It’s not that I don’t know what to write next. As I said at the beginning of this volume, the outline is clear and the goals are clear. I know what I want to write. Even if I had a flash of inspiration not long ago and have to make major revisions to the outline, I still know what I want to write.

But today I suddenly realized that I was in a very bad predicament - that is, writing on my own.

I put almost all my focus on describing the characters. I wanted to write about the growth of Anser, Sitana, Ming Furo and Marina, but I was limited to the characters, which was equivalent to forgetting the story itself. If the story is not good and interesting, then the character creation that I am obsessed with is meaningless.
