The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Go your own way?

What right does this woman have to say that I am stubborn? What is she crazy about?

Lian De had clearly behaved cautiously and respectfully before, so why did he suddenly stand against her?

Ming Fuluo absolutely did not believe that anyone could find any faults in her plan after reading it. As long as the plan was carried out strictly, it would not be a problem to defeat the revolutionary army and keep Donggang intact at the same time.

As one of the rulers of Donggang, Lian De had no reason to refuse, and the same was true for the other two grand dukes. But this woman accused her of being stubborn? Did she want to watch Donggang covered in blood and smoke under the attack of the revolutionary army? Or...

Ming Fuluo looked at Ansher, who also looked at her with a smile, which made the scholar snort in embarrassment.

But at the same time, she was secretly paying attention to Lian De's expression.

Humph...as expected.

Ming Fuluo caught the coldness in Lian De's eyes and sneered in her heart.

There is no personal emotion mixed in. I think it is all personal emotion.

I thought it was just some big deal, but it turns out he was just jealous to the point of madness. How did such a person defeat his brothers and sisters and seize the family inheritance?

But the nobles themselves are all a bunch of good-for-nothings, and her blood relatives are probably even more useless.

When Ming Fuluo came to Donggang, she never thought of placing her hopes on this group of guys. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have seriously talked to them one by one to ensure that no accidents would occur. But unfortunately, these nobles were not qualified enough for her to do so.

I originally wanted to find a guy who has the most say and is theoretically the most capable to give orders, but it turns out this guy is stupid as hell. It's really... troublesome.

But it doesn't matter, she has a second backup plan.

"I won't waste my time arguing with you. The war could start at any time. I will arm all the cities in East Port as quickly as possible. If you don't want to agree, someone will."

After saying this, she didn't give Lian De any time to speak and just turned and left.

"You've made her angry, Ms. Liande."

Anser sighed, "This is not a good choice."

Liande smiled gently: "But you don't seem very angry... I didn't help Miss Zeger fight the rebels, aren't you dissatisfied with this?"

"Is A Luo definitely right?" Anser asked back, "Almost no one in the empire has experienced a real war. No one knows what it takes to achieve a true victory. This also means that no one has the right to speak."

"Regarding something that has never happened, who is right and who is wrong... we can only wait and see the result. Luo wants to end this war, but I will not unconditionally side with her just because of her expectations and her identity."

His Royal Highness the Regent's eyes were somewhat distant: "Otherwise, this is called being stubborn. Although I said that angering Luo is not a good choice, I admire your persistence in your own ideas."

Lian De stared at Anser for a long time, then bowed his head in admiration: "I admire your magnanimity and foresight, Your Highness the Regent."

Anser smiled and waved his hand: "It's just some simple truths. I'm going to find her. We'll meet again next time when Bishop Mu comes, Ms. Lian De."

His figure disappeared directly in the room. After a long time, Lian De moved her eyes away from Ansel's seat. She stroked her chest and sighed with great satisfaction.

"As expected...Anser, you are indeed the person we are looking for, the one who can truly change the empire."

Anser can look at the person who can be regarded as his clone with absolute objectivity and fairness. Even if he is not "upright", Anser is perfect in this respect just from the perspective of rational analysis and control of the situation.

Thanks to Miss Zeger who couldn't hide her thoughts, otherwise... there would be no way to further confirm this side of Anser.

Ming Fuluo thought that she could see through Lian De's "jealousy" at a glance, but couldn't Lian De also see through the scholar's...hostility towards the same sex at a glance?

Lian De also didn't know why Ming Fuluo felt that a woman who had been a noble for decades could be so easily seen through by a scholar who stayed in the alchemy workshop all day. Didn't she ever think... that this was just a disguise?

However, I never thought it would be a good thing for Lian De, because if she agreed now and suddenly turned against me later, Ansel would never treat her as gently as he does now, because that would be betrayal, not a dispute over ideas.

Moreover, Lian De could also guess who Ming Furuo would entrust this plan to after being rejected by him.

So she needed a reason to immediately reject Ming Fuluo's plan, and a woman's jealousy was obviously an excellent reason.

And this can also affect Anser incidentally. Although Lian De didn't expect to trick Anser into taking the bait with this disguise, it is better to have it than not.

Now, she knows Ming Furo's plan very well. The revolutionary army's offensive after the war starts will be directed to the vital points. And more importantly, Lian De will not stop there. She will continue to stop Ming Furo from implementing her plan until the war begins.

"Next... let the facts tell you whether you are determined to do what you want, Ms. Zeger."

Lian De took the wine glass that Ansel had drunk from, stared at the wall of the glass and murmured softly.

"Mr. Devil, Mr. Devil, you are so awesome. I want to learn how you did it!"

Beside Anser, Xin, who was floating, looked anxious for the first time: "Teach me, teach me!"

Xin didn't know the specific details behind the conversation just now, but Anser told her all the details after he appeared.

Whether it was Ming Furo's reaction, Lian De's reaction, or Xin's reaction, they were all within Ansel's expectations.

Ming Fuluo doesn't trust anyone and only believes in her own abilities, so being her teammate is a very happy and very painful thing. People who play badly are very happy, and people who have their own opinions are quite painful.

Ming Furo thought that Lian De rejected her plan out of jealousy, but in fact it was not the case at all. Lian De simply did not want the entire Donggang to be impregnable.

But Anser made Ming Furo think so, and Lian De also tacitly forced the scholar to think this way, and made her feel that there was no problem with it.

In the face of Ming Furo's behavior, Ansel's calm and fair handling further increased Lian De's favorability towards him as a rebel, which was already almost overflowing, and paved the way for controlling the revolutionary army bit by bit.

Ming Furo herself will also change because of Lian De's rejection and change in the direction that Ansel wants.

Therefore, Xin was extremely amazed.

"Use Miss Doll to influence Miss Spider, and use Miss Spider to influence Miss Doll. No matter how you go back and forth, it will only benefit Mr. Devil. How should we... do it?"

"It's up to you to understand."

The Saint Lady said pitifully in a low voice: "But I can't do it."

“Self-study and progress are a necessary part of growth, and once you make a breakthrough, you will be very happy.”

"It seems... to make sense." Xin's mood improved a lot. She pointed her index finger at her chin and said thoughtfully, "I seem to be quite happy now, especially after listening to Mr. Devil's story."

The devil chuckled with pleasure:

"This is an introduction, but it's just an introduction. You still have a long way to go, dear Miss Lamb."

There was a more important part that he hadn't told Xin yet.

In addition to Ming Fuluo and Lian De, the Saint Lady herself, who is now craving for knowledge like a curious baby... isn't she also being manipulated by him?

Chapter 36: Not Really Brainless, Part 2

"What were you talking about just now?"

Ming Fuluo walked out of the bell tower and looked at Ansel and Xin who were huddled together, and always felt that something was wrong.

This saint girl...is she really the destined protagonist?

How could it be so easy to get mixed up with Ansher?

Anser glanced at Xin, who was acting like a good kid, and said with amusement, "Something about... learning and growth."

Ming Fuluo walked up to Anser and sighed, "It's best to study and grow seriously."

That is, Xin's face is that of a mature woman, while Anser's can still be considered a teenager. Otherwise, standing next to the two of them, the scholar lady would look a bit like a daughter.

She was also a little annoyed with Xin who never left her side, and originally wanted to ask her to leave, but considering that Anser might have something to do if he kept her, she finally held back.

"How do you feel?" Anser suddenly asked, "Is this bell tower suitable as your strategic point?"

"No, it feels too easily destroyed."

Ming Fuluo shook her head: "Although it is the central area of ​​the etheric vein of this Deep Blue Port City, it is not suitable for deploying protection nodes."

Among the pile of sketches she gave to Hendrick, there was a thing called "shield generating device". This name, which was completely inconsistent with the style of this world, was of course given by Anther, and the inspiration was naturally what Ming Furo got from Anther.

Compared with normal protective spells or even domains, this thing does not require high-level warlocks to continuously expend energy to support it. It can protect the territory while preserving one's own combat power to the maximum extent. It is one of the important cornerstones for Ming Furo to achieve "zero casualties".

She needed to refer to the architectural layout of each city and the flow of the etheric veins to determine the placement of each shield device... If Lian De had been honest and obedient, she wouldn't have needed to waste her time on this matter.

Ansher looked at Ming Fuluo, who was thinking seriously, and subconsciously reached out and touched her head.

"What's wrong?" Ming Furo looked up at Ansher in confusion.

"...Nothing." Hydra smiled, "It's just that I haven't seen Luo so serious in a while."

"I've always been so serious."

Anser raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really? You didn't seem to be very serious when you were talking to Ms. Lian De just now."

"You still say that!" Ming Fuluo pinched Anser's wrist angrily and pinched it hard, "It's fun to tease people like this... Forget it, you must think it's fun."

Anser smiled and held Ming Fuluo's soft little hand: "A Luo still understands me the best."

"..."

Ming Fuluo looked away and said nothing.

If she really understood Anser the best, the trip to the West would not have ended in that scene.

But no matter what, Ming Furo didn't want to give up this position of "spiritual connection" with Anser to anyone else.

She didn't think that Marina understood Ansel better than her, it's just that Marina could always think from Ansel's perspective, but she couldn't.

——Even when she just thought of this, the first reaction in her mind was: Now is not the time to think about these things.

This hesitation and dilemma made Ming Furo feel extremely tormented. What was even more tormenting was that Ansel was moving forward and had new ideas and directions, but she was still standing still. Even though she knew she shouldn't dwell on such things, she was still unwilling to let it go.

Not only the relationship between her and Anser, but also...how should she move on.

How can we work with Anser to create a new future full of infinite possibilities in the right way?

As if he didn't notice her heavy emotions, Anser said in a brisk tone: "Since it doesn't work here, let's find another place... Speaking of which, A'Luo, in addition to setting up the shield generating device, you also want to build a shelter in each territory, right?"

Ming Fuluo was slightly more excited by the words that actively pulled her into the most important matter at hand. She nodded and said, "I have designed a five-level plan for the entire city defense... In order to prevent any innocent people from being implicated, I used the worst-case scenario as the standard and worked my way up one level at a time."

Anser laughed dumbly: "That's really your style."

"This is not my style." Ming Fuluo shook her head first, then looked up at Anser, "Anser, you taught me this."

"Hey, Miss Doll, has Mr. Devil also taught you anything?"

As soon as he heard the word "teach", Xin immediately interrupted: "Miss Puppet, what have you learned?"

“Don’t think that you will succeed just by doing something.”

Ming Fuluo subconsciously tightened her grip on Anser's hand and whispered, "Don't think... you can easily bear the cost of failure."

Xin didn't know what Ming Fuluo meant by this, but she was a little curious because -

"A Luo has become such a humble person without realizing it."

Anser nodded: "This is also a kind of growth."

"I'm still a long way from being humble." Ming Fuluo sighed as she looked at the bustling streets around her. "I just learned a lesson and don't want to suffer again."

Modesty... Hmm, why would a doll lady who is entangled in the sin of pride say such humble words?

Xin, who was following behind the two of them, stared at Ming Fuluo's petite back with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this time, Ming Fuluo locked onto a new location, and standing there was a very solemn and majestic...church.

church?

Ming Furo looked at the church that seemed slightly out of place on this busy street, then glanced at Xin who looked calm behind her, and finally looked at Ansel who was smiling for some reason, and was a little undecided.

She did not have as sophisticated an understanding of fate as Anser. Although she had behaved well when she had asked the anxious Sitana to calm down and told her to "let nature take its course", in fact... Ming Furo herself would often fall into meaningless suspicions, especially when it came to "coincidences". Faced with any coincidence, she would ask herself in her heart: Is this a trap of fate?

She always thinks more than Xitana, so naturally she will bear more troubles and even pain.

Just when Ming Fuluo didn't know what to decide, Anser suddenly said, "Why don't you go in and take a look? Isn't this place quite suitable?"

"……Too."

With Ansel's support, Ming Furo's tense mind relaxed instantly. She nodded slightly and was about to walk in, but suddenly stopped.

She tugged at Anser's hand, looked up and asked, "Can you come with me, Anser?"

The young man laughed and said, "Isn't it just to check if it's suitable? Why are you so serious, as if you are going deep into a devil's cave?"

Although he said this, he still walked into the church with Ming Fuluo.

“……” Ming Fuluo didn’t say anything, but just held Ansel’s hand even tighter.

The haze of fate lingering in her heart has never dissipated, and it will not dissipate for a long time. The only thing that makes Ming Furo feel at ease is the breath and warmth coming from Ansel beside her.

She and Ansher walked into the church together. Not wanting to attract attention, both of them had perception-blocking spells. Neither the priest who was preaching on the pulpit nor the believers sitting on the benches noticed the three uninvited guests.

Ming Furo originally wanted to conduct a thorough inspection to see if this place was suitable for placing the device, but when she saw the scene in front of her, suspicion about fate once again prevailed.

Because there are too many believers here.
