The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Anser stretched lazily and said, "What I'm going to say next is not suitable for you to hear."

He approached the figure standing on the edge of the cliff, approached the woman who was at the end of her rope and would lose everything tomorrow.

The boy stood side by side with her, looking out at the vast Lost Sea and the majestic Lost Port City at the edge of the field of vision, and said with emotion: "The scenery of Donggang is really charming."

About half a minute later, Elalo finally reacted and stared at Anser blankly.

"Your Highness, the Regent, you..."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Anser looked at her with amusement, "Can't I be here?"

"...No, it's just that I am a person who is about to lose everything. I am not worthy of standing with you."

Elalo whispered softly: "You should go find Lian and tell her how to change Donggang next."

"Is this considered self-abandonment?"

The woman smiled and said, "Just prepare for the foreseeable ending."

"is it?"

As Anser said this, he raised his staff and without warning pressed it directly on Elalo's shoulders, suddenly making her kneel in front of him.

He looked down at the woman who seemed to be desperate, his eyes narrowed slightly: "That day on the boat, even if you really had the will to die, you were completely different from the you now."

"Having been discovered as a believer, does that make you so desperate, Grand Duke Triumphant?"

"I am no longer—"

"As long as I call you by that title," Anser interrupted her, "you will be the Duke of Triumph."

Elalo's heart trembled, but she still didn't have the courage to raise her head and look Anser in the eye. Instead, she curled up even more and murmured in a hoarse voice:

"I... don't have the qualifications. I am a traitor. I have betrayed my own beliefs and my best friend. And this betrayal... has not brought about any valuable changes. How can I deserve your recognition? How can I deserve... your support?"

"Betrayal? Did you betray Lian De?"

Anser asked, "Did you really plan that attack?"

"no!"

This sentence instantly stimulated Ellalo. This was the key reason why Lian De concentrated all the sins and hatred on her, and she would never admit the fact that this had never happened.

"I never... never planned that attack, let alone thought of using it to frame Lian!"

Faced with the suddenly excited Elalo, Anser stunned her with just one sentence.

"So what did you betray?"

"..."

"Since you haven't done anything to harm Ms. Lian De, you are simply hiding your identity as a believer..."

Hydra tilted his head: "Can this also be considered betrayal?"

Elalo was speechless, because everything that happened at that time had made her lose the ability to think. The heartbroken and angry look of the priest who was like a godmother, the almost insane hatred and rage of her best friend, and the depression and helplessness she had endured for doing that... Countless emotions piled together, leaving Elalo with no energy to think about this.

"If this can be considered betrayal, then isn't our Lady Lian De guilty of a heinous crime?"

Anser said something nonchalantly, causing Ella's pupils to freeze.

"What did you say?" She murmured with trembling lips, "Lian... is he unforgivable?"

"Yes, that's why I came to see you, Lord Kaixuan."

The devil looked down at the poor woman kneeling in front of him. She had been redeemed and made sacrifices according to her own wishes, but her entire life was still ruined. He reached out and stroked her head, saying with great pity:

"Lian De Deep Blue, one of the leaders of the rebel group [New World], codenamed [Dark Color], has been providing supplies to the rebels for more than thirteen years."

Under Ellalo's completely dazed gaze, Anser said softly:

"You're not the betrayer, she is."

Rebels...

Is Lian De a rebel?

At this moment, it seemed as if everything was connected.

Why did Lian De point the finger at the church for no reason, but kept silent about the rebels themselves? Why did she hold such great hostility towards the church, but did not launch a large-scale crackdown and hunt down the rebels themselves?

She was taking the opportunity to eliminate the power of the church, so that the Regent's side would lose a great helper in this war that only a fourth-level person could decide!

So... she would rather risk offending Ansher than support Ming Furo's defense plan!

Elalo seemed to have lost the strength to kneel, and her body had already fallen down. The rough and sharp stones pressed against her delicate skin, just like the cold and cruel fact.

So that's how it is... Turns out I was the one who was deceived.

So, Elalo Triumph came back to life.

"Lian... De."

That extremely distorted, hateful, almost roaring voice made the devil extremely satisfied.

Miss Saint, the redemption you can achieve now... is just this.

I still have a fire here... that I haven't started yet.

"It's not just that, Lord Triumph."

Anser half-knelt down, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with great concern: "Didn't you commit the evil act of destroying the church because of your own determination, which even overcame your faith in God?"

"This is a determination that I admire once again. Why do you regard this as a betrayal of God?"

"My...determination?"

Elalo raised her head, her face full of tears as she stared blankly at Anser, her eyes bloodshot and full of confusion.

"…Why, isn't it?"

His Royal Highness the Regent also showed a puzzled expression: "But Miss Saint told me so. She told me that you hid your identity in order to preserve your strength and to better realize your ideals-"

Oh... this is not good.

At this moment, Ansher felt that something extremely terrifying was born.

It's not the terror of strength, but the terror of the mind. It's a poor soul on the verge of being shattered and twisted, being forcibly reshaped into a completely unknowable terror by uncontrollable crazy thoughts.

"My... determination."

The corners of Elalo's mouth gradually stretched upwards, and horrifying tears of blood flowed from her already red eyes. Her whole body was shaking, her completely distorted soul was screaming, and she was... laughing hysterically.

"My determination...Hahahahaha! My determination!"

"My best friend, my faith, my...determination!"

boom--!

The black air rushed up into the sky, and the terrifying twisted vortex... attracted the breath from the abyss.

The culprit of all this took two slow steps back and examined his masterpiece.

"Reversal of divine arts... is not impossible."

He whispered words that Elalo could no longer hear, gently stroking his chin with a satisfied smile.

"I got a gratifying answer, but faith is really a scary thing."

During the entire process, he did not use any supernatural powers, nor did he exert any influence from the abyss preaching. He simply resorted to words, and turned this redeemed saint into a crazy...demon.

That's right, my Lord Triumph.

What's the point of a one-sided massacre? I postponed this battle to tomorrow, not to let you be slaughtered, which would be too boring.

The devil applauded the birth of the monster and chuckled with joy.

Since Luo is coming back, of course I have to give her a feast of extraordinary value and wonderfulness.

Chapter 75: The Sweetness of Pain Part 3

"Mr. Devil...what did you do to Miss Elalo?"

In the main seat of the audience, Xin, who was standing behind Anser, whispered, "Why can't I find her?"

Although he escaped in a very embarrassing way yesterday, Xin went back to look for Anser in order to find out what Anser wanted to do with Elalo, but... he didn't find her.

She had no way of finding any trace of Elalo's soul.

The souls of believers, especially those who have been redeemed, are almost completely transparent to Xin. As long as she wants, a thought can make them appear in front of her, but Xin can't find Ellalo.

That believer seemed to have completely disappeared from his perception. If Xin hadn't known that Anser would never attack Elalo, he would have thought that Elalo was dead.

Anser looked at the other spectators in the duel arena, observing the various expressions of these nobles. He did not seem to take Xin's question too seriously, and just answered casually: "Miss Saint, what do you think I will do to her?"

"..."

That's it again.

Xin stared at Anser's profile. The dark emotions that had been growing and spreading silently yesterday were entangled like black vines along with Mr. Devil's casual and casual feedback.

Mr. Devil...

Xin couldn't convince himself that Ansel did this just to make her have wild thoughts. Maybe that was a factor, but in the final analysis... it was all for Ming Furo.

Yesterday, she was extremely sensitive to emotions, and the joy she felt from Ansel was so real and warm. Her Mr. Devil was doing something very important for Miss Doll. Even if it was not necessarily more important than anything else, it was definitely more important than her.

——This is natural. Xin knew from the beginning how important Miss Doll and Miss Wolf were to Anser, but why did she behave so abnormally yesterday?

Xin didn't know what was going on, and even resisted understanding this emotion in an abnormal way. She continued to think about what Anser wanted to do, but it seemed like she was avoiding something.

"You haven't come yet?" Anser rubbed his bracelet and said to himself helplessly, "If you don't come soon, you will miss the most exciting part, Luo."

This was a drama that he had spent so much time and effort to carefully prepare for Ming Furo, under the premise that fate used Xin, the saint with cheating abilities, as a pawn. Anser really didn't want Ming Furo to miss even a single scene.

In fact, if possible, Ansor did not want to create trouble for Ming Furo to return to the Tower of Babel. After all, this would give fate an opportunity and would also prevent Ming Furo from seeing many more intuitive things. But unfortunately, if his dear scholar lady stayed in Donggang, everything would not be so smooth.

After all, if Luo was here...

Anser turned his head slightly, glanced at Xin who was thinking about something, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

This moment of gaze immediately brought Xin out of her contemplative state. Like a dog that was finally noticed by its owner, she released an expectation that she was unaware of.

"Mr. Devil, what on earth do you want to do for Miss Doll?"

Xin abandoned the chaotic and meaningless thoughts just now. She knew that it was meaningless to think about what happened to Ellalo now. What she should consider was Anser's purpose... the real purpose.

Even if Mr. Devil cares about Miss Doll very much, it is absolutely impossible for him to... do so many things just to test Miss Doll's creations.

He must have a deeper purpose, he must.

Yes, how could the devil she knew be so vulgar as to run around and do everything himself for a woman, just like a man who flatters women?

"What...didn't I tell you yesterday?" Anser said lazily, holding up his face. "Her defense system needs a good test subject, that's all."

"I do not believe."

Xin said without hesitation: "There are many ways to do this. You don't need to go to so much trouble, Mr. Devil. You must——"

"First, I just did some small things. Or, um... I didn't do anything."

Anser shrugged: "What does the conflict and dispute between Lian De and Elalo have to do with me from beginning to end?"

"One concealed his identity as a revolutionary soldier, believing that he was framed by the church and betrayed by his friends, so he chose to treat the betrayer in the most cruel way; the other one... hehe, not much different."

"From any bystander's perspective." The smile on Mr. Devil's face became more intense, and his tone became more cheerful and joyful. "It's nothing more than two hungry political creatures fighting each other for power, isn't it?"

Ellalo concealed the identity of the saint, and used the surprise attack to pin the crime of "collaborating with the rebels" on Lian De. She relied on the power of the church to gain the favor of His Royal Highness the Regent and successfully seized the power that should have been held by Lian De.

Is Lian De innocent? Elallo's policy is indeed absurd, but don't forget that even if she didn't intend to borrow Anser's name, she couldn't completely stop the rumors about His Royal Highness the Regent. No matter how painful the nobles were, they would not turn against each other so quickly and choose to cause a riot without leaving any way out... If Lian De hadn't intervened and fanned the flames, how could she have easily gained the support of half of the nobles under the Triumph Family and challenged Elallo to a life-and-death battle?

If we use a more sinister idea to speculate, is Liande really that sad? As a political creature, is she angry at Ella's betrayal, or is she ecstatic about this great opportunity? Or even... is this opportunity really exposed by Ella?

Using such a stupid and clumsy method to hide one's identity? Even if Elalo's policies are absurd, his methods are not bad. Destroying the church to conceal the identity of believers is something that a woman can really do, rather than... a conspiracy by a certain ambitious Grand Duke to make his usurpation of power more unquestionable?

Anser looked at the other nobles sitting in the duel arena and their different and wonderful expressions. Even though he didn't have the ability to read people's minds like Xin, he knew what these people were thinking.

Thinking about...the fact he stated.

These are just two hungry political creatures tearing at each other for power.

"……fact?"

Xin tilted his head in confusion. "That's not true."

This is not true. The chaos in Donggang before and now is not because of the power struggle between Lian De and Ella Luo.
