The villain's way to tame the protagonist

[This sadness... Is Anser sad that he can't change this world? ]

Ms. Spider, why are you suddenly calling Mr. Devil's name?

This sudden miraculous development shocked Miss Xin so much that her thoughts, which had just been sorted out, became confused again.

[The moment I saw you at the dance six years ago, I knew you were carrying a heavy ideal that no one could understand] (Note)

Six, six years ago? Six years ago, Mr. Devil was still a little boy! Ms. Spider was really a heinous criminal...

No matter how indifferent he was to worldly affairs, Xin still felt that this kind of thing was extremely bad.

But in this case, isn't it...

Xin, who originally just wanted to take the opportunity to reach that agreement, suddenly had a new idea.

Since using this greed can help redeem Miss Wild Wolf's rage, can this lust also be used to help me do something? For example...

Xin suddenly looked at Anser. From her perspective, Mr. Devil was still so "hopeless", and the countless sins entangled in him were like the physical embodiment of the abyss.

But in the deepest part of the abyss, there lies the most important existence in Xin's eyes, called "Assistant Manager".

This is also the reason why Mr. Devil, in her heart, is the only one who surpasses everything except God.

Mr. Devil's sins have always been very stable. I have never seen him have drastic fluctuations because of anything. Even if there were, Mr. Devil is so powerful that I might not be able to see what he is thinking.

However, if it is lust, it is very easy to have ups and downs.

"Ms. Lian De."

Anser suddenly laughed, leaned forward and stared straight at the dignified and proper Lian De Shenlan.

Normally, it would be strange to switch from a melancholy state to a smiling look all of a sudden, but the switch made by Anser seemed extremely natural, without any disharmony.

Xin was glad that she didn't have to go into the micromanagement, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

Facing the handsome smile of the young man, Lian De, who is already a mature woman and an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, naturally did not have any overt reaction. She just smiled and responded very appropriately: "What's wrong, An... Your Highness the Regent?"

"It's okay to call me by my name." The young Hydra smiled cheerfully, "You know what kind of person I am."

The mature and intellectual woman lowered her head slightly, and no emotion could be heard in her tone: "Okay, Your Highness Anser."

——Xin Ke didn’t know what kind of person Mr. Devil was, but Ms. Spider knew it was enough.

And in Xin's opinion, this rapidly expanding lust is more than just a matter of time.

Deep in Lian De's soul, Xin read a long string of private words related to Anser, almost all of which were Lian De's unilateral praise for Anser's actions.

It doesn't look like a simple release of desire. Ms. Spider seems to... admire Mr. Devil very much.

[It’s a pity that Wendigo didn’t succeed in winning over Anser in the North. If he had succeeded at that time, I would have been able to work with Anser to change this corrupt empire.]

Ms. Spider is very serious about changing the Empire, so...

"It is very difficult to change the empire. What are your thoughts after this war?"

Anser just kept looking at Lian De, his voice very soft.

"...My idea?" Lian De was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Do you want to refer to my opinion... Ah, sorry, I spoke out of turn. You always accept everyone's opinion."

Xin Bian didn't even need to say anything, she finished what she was saying.

"As for my opinion..."

Although from Xin's perspective, Lian De's "lust" was exaggerated, in fact she did not show any emotions related to that desire at all. Instead, as Xin felt, it was more like a pure "admiration".

But Xin did not take this strangeness to heart, and just listened attentively to Lian De saying:

"I hope you don't mind. According to my opinion, I think... after this war, you can communicate more with the rebels, the so-called revolutionary army."

"Oh?"

Xin had become very familiar with letting the other party imagine things for themselves. As long as she asked Anser to say this word, Lian De would immediately explain considerately: "Since you are determined to change the empire, you must understand why the so-called "revolutionary army" exists. They are all victims of the brutal rule of Feast Flame, so they know the rottenness of the empire better than anyone else, and can point out every rotten meat in the empire that needs to be removed."

Xin didn't care at all about changing the empire, and she wouldn't use her single-core brain to think about such things. There was only one thing she had to do now - that was to make Anser unconditionally comply with Ms. Spider's ideas.

Sin wants to use Ms. Spider... as a tool to deal with Mr. Devil's surging lustful sin.

Even if there is no possibility of success, it is good to get a little useful information. After all, Mr. Devil said that information is more important than anything else. And Ms. Spider's lust sin should be redeemed in this process... Although it can be eliminated by the power of God, it seems...

There seems to be an indescribable feeling of happiness.

The first step to make Ms. Spider a tool is to make Mr. Devil and Ms. Spider closer! Mr. Devil must obey her!

"can."

Under Xin's manipulation, Anser readily agreed: "I don't think I have any reason to refuse Ms. Lian De's request."

Xin was completely unable to convince Anser to agree to this request from a logical point of view, and he didn't know what to say to better exude the charm of Mr. Devil, so he just honestly threw a straight ball.

However, many times, the effect of a straight ball is often quite outstanding - especially the straight ball thrown by a boy with a face like Anser.

Lian De was obviously stunned by this sentence, because although she had been paying attention to Hydra Territory over the years, paying attention to Anser who turned Hydra Territory into a paradise on earth, and admired Anser's abilities and believed that he could become the founder of a new order... but in the final analysis, this was just her "unrequited love", and Anser himself had almost no intersection with her.

Lady Youse of the Revolutionary Army is naturally a meticulous person. No matter how careful Xin was, she noticed that something was wrong with Anser, but just as Anser said... she would find a reasonable reason for this abnormality.

[His Highness Anser is not emphasizing things, but emphasizing... me? ]

Liande subconsciously looked at the handsome face with a smile on its face. She certainly couldn't be a stupid woman who would become infatuated with a good-looking face, but Ansel's burning gaze and the subtle abnormality shown in the previous conversation, as well as the reputation of the Regent Prince in relationships between men and women, all made Liande naturally have some fantasies that shouldn't exist.

[Among the noble ladies and ladies, His Highness Anser has a very good reputation. Could it be that he is...]

She really thought so, she really thought so!

At this moment, Xin felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before, which made him want to immerse himself in it forever.

Although the process was very simple, when she completely achieved the goal of guiding the other person's mind in the direction she wanted, when the other person was like a puppet being manipulated by her, expressing her thoughts, the kind of happiness she had never experienced before made her thoughts a little erratic.

Although it was just an illusory spirit, Xin felt that the temperature in his chest was rising, as if something hot was burning.

This is the human heart, which is the evil means that Mr. Devil uses to control people’s hearts.

But I...want to learn.

Xin murmured unconsciously in his heart.

It's not that she doesn't understand the human heart. On the contrary, as Anser said, Xin, who has been performing her duties day after day for ten years, judging and redeeming sins, has already seen enough of the various aspects of human heart and human nature.

But precisely because of this responsibility, she only needed to use the power given by God and did not need any extra thinking to complete it. Even though Xin had seen enough, she had never given any in-depth thought to the cornerstone of this society, something called "human nature."

But at this moment, she saw a blooming black flower on the gray picture that she had read countless times and no longer felt bored.

The black flower made her feel as if the whole world was different at that moment.

Ansher glanced at Xin's beautiful face that was like a masterpiece of God. On ordinary days when it had nothing to do with the trial, although this face had reached the pinnacle of the concept of "beauty", it always maintained an innocence and ignorance like a child.

And now, this innocence and ignorance has transformed into a primitive desire and impulse, just like after tasting the finest wine, in that intoxication that makes one unwilling to wake up... seeing the scene of a new world.

Very good, very good, Miss Saint, aren’t you...very talented?

Reading people's hearts was Xin's best weapon, but the church that restrained her was afraid of her power to control people's hearts, so she was restrained in layers of shackles and heavy fog.

But Ansel opened a door for Xin, a door that once opened could never be closed again.

At first, Xin was just out of pure curiosity and commitment to duty. She wanted to learn how to use this method to redeem the people who she thought needed redemption the most, but what happened next?

How could she know that although Ansel seemed to have given her the right to choose, he actually knew what choice she would make from the beginning to the end.

In order to appease Hitana, she will definitely choose to agree to Lian De's request; and once she realizes Lian De's strong admiration for her, she will definitely try to do something with this feeling. With her one-way thinking loop, she can only narrow the distance between Ansor and Lian De.

And this is what Anser was supposed to do.

Compared with the devil, the lamb who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time was still ignorant and immature.

The Revolutionary Army is a good thing, and Anser has never thought of destroying it. Since they want him to be the one to establish a new order, why not agree to it?

But by then, it will be hard to say whose revolutionary army it will belong to.

And when all of these are achieved, the hero will not only lose all his companions who fought side by side, but also lose the foundation on which he relied... It is really exciting to see how she can become a hero.

So in the final analysis, Miss Xin, who thought she had made her own choice and experienced absolutely irresistible happiness, was still moving forward at Anser's pace, but she knew nothing about it, now and in the future...

Just like her life as a saint.

Chapter 28: An alliance that can be broken if not touched

"Did he really say that?" In the meeting room of the Revolutionary Army, a sturdy man crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "Will Hydra agree to this humiliating agreement? I don't believe it, Youse."

Facing his colleague's questioning, Lian De frowned slightly: "Rongshan, are you doubting my position or my ability?"

To say something like this was simply to either question whether she was deliberately favoring Anser or whether she couldn't even see the trap.

The leader of the Gale Legion, Rongshan, sneered: "I am just preventing us from paying an unbearable price for another wrong decision. I have heard enough of your bragging about Hydra by you reformists."

"We were supposed to change the world with our own hands." The man slammed his hand on the conference table. His dark skin was covered with lines like magma. He spoke word by word, "But now you all want to pin your hopes for a new world on one person... How is this different from an empire where the emperor rules everything!"

"The difference is that Hydra is neither as incomprehensible as the Emperor nor as stupid and cruel as her."

Lian De responded without hesitation: "You may not have read the report I sent you about Hydra Territory. Hydra is trying to apply alchemical tools to the civilian class, and has grasped the scope and degree to perfection. It has brought tangible benefits without causing too much impact on the entire Hydra Territory... Molten Mountain, do you know what this concept is?"

"I have no idea--"

"You don't know what qualifications do you have to question here!"

The woman also slammed the table and roared: "How many times have I said that what we want is change and reconstruction, not simple destruction! You want revenge on Feast Flame? Fine! Go kill Ivora now, do you have the ability to do that? "

“Dark Color!!”

The temperature in the conference room suddenly became boiling hot. Rongshan's eyes turned bloodshot after his pain point was hit. As a radical member of the Destruction Faction, the opportunity for him to become a transcendent was when Effisand was in a bad mood during an outing more than ten years ago, so he burned a mountain casually, and ended up burning his entire village to death. He fell into the abyss under the stimulation and awakened as a transcendent.

In order to overcome his fear of the Feast of Flames, his path was also related to fire. However, due to this experience and his fall into the abyss, his character was quite radical and even tyrannical. He would kill the entire family of any noble bureaucrat without any reason.

The Gale Legion led by Rongshan are composed of poor people who have suffered severe persecution from the Empire like him. Under the influence of his strong desire for revenge, they also harbor extreme hatred for anyone and anything who stands on the side of the Empire. They are the most dangerous and brutal legion in the entire Revolutionary Army, but also the one that rushes to the front line and has the highest casualty rate. Rongshan himself has escaped death countless times.

But Lian De hated him, and also hated the Gale Legion, because they made the New World, an organization whose goal was to establish a new order, look like a den of uncontrollable thugs.

It was true that she also hated this corrupt empire and the emperor who was high above her, but Lian De always kept the responsibility of reform in her heart, instead of being like the madman in front of her, who simply vented the anger that had been building up over the years.

She was born with noble blood, bathed in glory, and provided protection. This was her duty as a noble and a ruler. But Rongshan was a destroyer. What the empire needed the least was destroyers, no matter what happened in the future. What needed to be destroyed was only now.

Seeing that the two people were on the verge of a fight, on one side was the organization's most important logistics management, and on the other side was a top thug with huge military power, the relatively calm people in both factions spoke out to dissuade them, and it took a lot of persuasion to ease the atmosphere a little.

Finally, Leng Yu, who was also quite prestigious among the reformists, said, "Anyway, since we have this opportunity, it is a good thing for us."

"Whether it is to reduce the harm to innocent civilians or to try to equalize the combat power of both sides, it is a hundred benefits with no harm. Moreover... we can also use this opportunity to test the size of the gap between His Royal Highness the Regent and Ivora."

But in terms of the number of fifth-order extraordinary people, the three forces of Gray Tower, Iron Blade, and Revolutionary Army combined are naturally no match for the entire empire. Although the same is true for the fourth-order, the gap brought by the fifth-order combat power cannot be made up by the number of fourth-order. If the fifth-order extraordinary people on both sides can be banned from participating in the war, then in terms of paper combat power, they will have the advantage anyway.

Of course, there is a more important point, which is to see which side is heavier that can truly influence the direction of this war.

According to Lian De, His Royal Highness the Regent was indeed somewhat wary of Ivora. He seemed reluctant to face this descendant of the Feast of Flames, but the reason was unknown.

"It would be best if the strength of both sides is close to being balanced."

Leng Zhui put his fingers together, and his old voice was full of majesty that made people subconsciously believe without deliberately showing it: "The best case scenario is that Hydra is slightly better. In this case, we can set up a decisive battle between the two of them. After Hydra kills Ivora, we can work together to kill him."

"Leng Zhu?!" Lian De was shocked by the words of betrayal, "Why should we kill him? He clearly——"

"He clearly has the ability to change the empire. I know that, Youse."

Although Leng Yu's eyes were a little cloudy due to old age, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.

"But he is also very dangerous. Rongshan is right, Youse. You may have too high expectations of him... Before he has the ability to change the empire, he is first and foremost an Old Deus and an ambitious person."

"Don't forget, he already has half of the contract. If Wendigo had succeeded then, I wouldn't mind working with him. But if you still have that idea now, you are too naive, Youse."

Wendigo shrugged. "We had already done our best in the arrangements at that time. We were just one step short. Unfortunately... just one step short. If he had come just one second later, the now notorious Scourge would have died in the cold wind of the north."

Lian De opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but facing the obscure or questioning looks from his companions, he finally chose to remain silent.

The Scourge who could tear a dragon apart with bare hands at level 4 - Xitana Lancemalos; the source of the current Hydra's invincibility - Minfroy Zeg, who could summon the fantasy weapon called Deus Ex Machina; and the shadow of the evil snake of the abyss, the dark witch who silently spread her tentacles across the empire - Marina Lancemalos...

Anser was very careful about the choices he made, and he did not choose them at will like his father did. However, the three he had now covered all the elements needed in the field of "rule" - violence, development, and manipulation.

If Hydra still exists after the problem of Ivora is solved, the Revolutionary Army will be destroyed as long as he has any ideas.

This monster...there are still four leaders that have not been chosen.

So even if Liand wanted to say something, she had nothing to say. She couldn't say that she didn't mind having Hydra lead the revolutionary army to transform the empire.

Thoughts are thoughts, but some things will lose people's hearts if they are spoken out, and Lian De is very clear about this.

Leng Xi's remarks, which did not favor either side, finally brought the atmosphere of the meeting back to normal. After all, the agreement that Lian De proposed to Anser was agreed upon after a vote, and she did not act on her own. And Rongshan's worries were not unreasonable. Who would want to work for others after working so hard for everything?

Ambitious... Hydra is an ambitious person. Among the ten people in this conference room, who doesn't have ambition?

"In that case."
