The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Ivora whispered with fear and disgust: "I will never forget it. Even if it is very faint, even if the traces of the Abyss Caller's existence are almost erased, I can still sense the disgusting breath coming from the deep sea."

The mysterious force that captured Ivora while she was drifting in the Zero Point Maze and extracted her imperial qualities, the one behind it was... the Dark Caller, who was also an Old Deus.

In fact, the remains of the emperor with the body of the Ming Caller in the skull already explained a lot, and Ivora's answer made the answer more complete.

Obviously, in that mysterious struggle that no one knew about, the emperor lost and the Mind Caller won.

"Although Hydra is the optimal solution that everyone would try, emperors of all generations have used their own methods to seek the possibility of breaking through the seventh level... One of them has been mentioned repeatedly in the emperor's inheritance."

Anser thought back to the emperor's remains and shook his head slightly. "That is... to combine with the Abyss Summoners who have achieved sublimation by living in powerful hosts, and use their characteristics to find a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough to the seventh level."

Anther did not know these secrets, and they were not mentioned in the Hydra family's inheritance. It was obvious that these were top secrets passed down only by the Flame Royal Family to successive emperors. In order to save his life, Ivora had no choice but to sell this secret to Anther.

"It seems that several generations of emperors have tried, although none of them succeeded. However, Effisandre, who is desperate, is obviously not qualified to consider the success rate. That's why she plunged into the sea of ​​​​lost path at the last minute, trying to grasp the hope that may be equal to zero."

Xitana was extremely shocked: "Then Anser, you let Ivora stay in the North because..."

"The flow of ether in the north is very special. The solidified environment is especially serious now. If Efesand is still alive, she will definitely find ways to kill Ivora. Here, Efesand should not be able to find her... She is still safe."

Anser nodded slightly. "Although Ivora's qualifications as a Flame Eater have been completely destroyed, she still has some talents as an emperor. Fortunately, this not only allows her to be captured by Efesand, but she can also use this tiny moment of emperor status to sense the emperor of the previous generation, who may or may not have died, from time to time."

"Although the effect is minimal, it's better than nothing... It's a pity that it's not good news."

"So, Anser is preparing to deal with the emperor..."

Although it is still unclear what this has to do with Ivora stirring up trouble in the empire, for Hitana, knowing that Anser is doing something extremely important is enough.

"Yes, if you want to deal with her, you must be fully prepared."

Hydra narrowed his eyes and whispered: "She is my biggest enemy."

After finishing the conversation with Ivora, Ansher asked Sif to take them to a place nearby to rest. Although they were within the territories of the two grand dukes, there was nothing to worry about.

However, Hitana was still very cautious. She didn't want to run into a city carelessly and then have to fight because she was not hiding well. Then she would be careless and force Anther to take action. That would be the end of everything.

So she asked Sif to take them to a church that stood outside the city, like a sanctuary.

"I heard that these churches...seem to have sheltered quite a few people."

Xitana slowly pushed open the door that was blocked by snow: "It seems that the Church of the Holy Alliance also played a big role in this heavy snowstorm."

"Really? That's a good thing."

"Yeah, I don't understand their teachings, but they don't look bad...eh?"

Xitana had only taken two steps into the church when she was stunned by the figure wrapped in thorns on the pulpit at the end of the church.

"You...you are..."

"May everything in the world be in harmony, just as your will blesses the world."

The woman chanted a prayer devoutly, then turned around and gave Xitana a gentle smile:

"I didn't expect to meet here, Miss Wolf."

She said this to Sitana, but seemed to be looking into Anser's eyes.

Chapter 6: Friends (K)

"pungent!"

Shitana's eyes suddenly sparkled, she trotted forward and hugged the serene-looking Saint Miss with a bear hug.

"Long time no see! Where have you been all this time... Oh, I think you were staying with Anser."

Miss Wolf likes kind people. Although she has not spent a long time with Xin in the imperial capital, in her opinion, Xin is undoubtedly a good person.

In addition, she was one of the few friends she had now. As soon as Xitana saw Xin, her depressed mood, which had been struggling to think about how to help Anser, immediately improved.

Xin's arms were frozen in mid-air. She was not used to being hugged and she didn't seem to know how to react.

"You really have been following Anser the whole time... No, if you had been following Anser the whole time, how did you treat Lina?"

Xitana quickly let her go and asked curiously, "Have you ever been to the North? If so, why didn't you come to see me?"

"...Ms. Crow can come to Mr. Devil at any time."

At this time, Xin withdrew his gaze from Anser and met Xitana's puzzled eyes: "I have always completed the necessary treatment, Miss Wild Wolf can rest assured."

"That's good. I always feel like Lina seems to be...ah, nothing, nothing."

Xitana took two steps back and scratched her head in embarrassment: "I saw that there was no one in this church, so I came here to rest. I didn't expect Xin to be here. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Xin looked at Xitana, then at Anser, and tilted his head slightly:

"No, I actually think that I might have disturbed you and Mr. Devil."

Hitana's face turned a little red instantly. She hadn't seen Ansel for a long time, so there was no need for her to say anything she wanted to do. She had been planning to get straight to the point, but she didn't expect Xin to appear in this seemingly abandoned church.

"I, I don't plan to do anything with Anser..."

"I didn't say what Miss Wolf and Mr. Devil did."

Xin blinked innocently: "Because Miss Wild Wolf and Mr. Devil haven't seen each other for a long time, I definitely disturbed you... So Miss Wild Wolf has something else he wants to do? What is it?"

"No, no, no, nothing happened! That's what I meant!"

The blush on Xitana's face seemed to be spreading. Although she was very open in front of Anser and Ming Fuluo, she might not be as open as Ming Fuluo in front of outsiders. At least Miss Scholar was very strict with herself in terms of image management. As long as there was a third person present, she would hold back no matter how hard she tried.

Xin nodded honestly. Although he hadn't seen him for a while, he still looked as innocent and simple as when he was in the imperial capital.

You've been with Anser for so long but you haven't been affected by him at all... You're amazing, Xin.

But I always feel like something is different.

No matter how you look at it, Xindu still looks innocent.

Wait...that's not right!

The way Sitana looked at Xin gradually changed.

Before she and Ming Furo went to the battlefield, Xin appeared and pointed out that Ansher was being increasingly eroded by the abyss, and also tried to find out some information.

It was at that time that Ming Fuluo realized Xin's problem and pointed out that Ansel's training of her should have begun. Our Miss Wolf was very afraid that after she knew this, it would inadvertently affect Ansel's plan.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a while, she almost forgot about it, and her impression of Xin was still stuck on the time when they investigated cases together in the imperial capital.

"What's wrong, Miss Wolf?"

Xin pointed out Xitana's hesitation directly: "You seem... a little unhappy."

"I, um, ahem... nothing."

Xitana looked away guiltily, and as memories emerged, she also thought of another very important thing.

That is... this guy can read minds!

Ming Fuluo insisted at that time, and Xitana naturally had to believe it. Miss Scholar could deal with such power and even use it, but she couldn't!

Miss Wolf began to feel frightened, fearing that Xin would take out everything in her head. She laughed dryly and stepped back, holding Anser's hand:

"Well... I suddenly remembered that Anser and I have something very important to do. It's very important! I'm leaving now. We'll talk next time when we have a chance!"

Before Anser could even say anything, Shitana reached out and hugged him, then ran out of the door with a bang, sending the snow at the door flying all over the place.

"..."

Looking at Xitana pulling Ansel and fleeing, Xin was silent for a long time.

Pouring into the church covered in heavy snow, she suddenly chuckled amid the howling wind.

"It's different, Miss Wild Wolf... You and Miss Doll are completely different."

"You are much weaker than her."

*

The firewood in the fireplace crackled from time to time. Hitana, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor and warming herself by the fireplace, had a frown on her face and looked distressed.

"…So, you came to me just to ask this kind of thing?"

Opposite her was Ming Fuluo who was busy transforming Donggang!

This is the individual summoned by Xitana through the special communication tool given to her by Ming Furo. Compared with the phantom of the communication magic crystal, this entity has the ability to interfere with reality. This is Ming Furo's way of ensuring that when Xitana encounters something that she cannot control, she can arrive at the scene to provide assistance as quickly as possible - by the way, this communication tool itself is also fool-proof to operate.

"What do you mean by this? Isn't this important?!"

Xitana, who had already returned to a permanent fortress on the northern border, scratched her hair and conspired loudly with Ming Fuluo: "This is Anser's plan. It is the key to fighting...fighting that thing!"

"...Maybe I really shouldn't have told you the truth about that saint."

"Yeah, I've already told you! You may be smart, but please don't drag me into this, okay? I can't handle this kind of thing!"

Miss Wolf felt extremely aggrieved. When she thought about having to face a ghost who could read minds and appear and disappear at will, and that this ghost meant a lot to Anser, the pressure that had been relieved from her suddenly increased again, to an unprecedented level.

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just do what you have to do."

"That's easy to say... I'm not worried." Sitana held her cheek and slumped her shoulders. "It would be great if we could just throw away our brains."

"I don't mean to tell you to ignore Anser's plan, but to ignore her."

Xitana was stunned for a few seconds, then raised the index finger of her left and right hands and looked left and right.

"It's not about ignoring Anser's plan, it's about...ignoring her?"

"Ah."

"Does it make any difference?" Miss Wolf barked, "Speak human language, Ming Fuluo!"

Ming Fuluo's eyes twitched: "If you really don't know what to do, go ask Anser."

Upon hearing this, Xitana immediately became even more unhappy: "How can we go to Anser? If Anser wants to say something, won't he take the initiative to tell us? If he doesn't say it, isn't that his plan?"

In Hitana's opinion, Anther would never make any plan that would make her guess what to do next. That kind of tacit cooperation, eye contact, and all kinds of jargon were Ming Furo's style. Anther would never treat her like that. Anther took care of her the most!

In response to Xitana's question, Ming Fuluo gave an answer that she would never have given before:

"What if Anser is waiting for us to ask him?"

"..."

Sitana was stunned.

After a long while, she looked at Ming Fuluo with extremely suspicious eyes: "Who are you?"

"…If you don't want to listen, forget it. I'm very busy."

"No, but words like this... words like this are not something you can say, Ming Fuluo."

Miss Wolf was shocked. She knew how proud Ming Fuluo was and how much she was struggling with whether there would be a conflict between her own views and Anser's decision. On the one hand, she didn't want to rely on Anser, but on the other hand, she thought Anser was far more right than she was. So once it came to matters related to Anser, it was always difficult for her to make a choice.

And now, Ming Furo actually said something that was equivalent to "Why don't you go and ask Ansel for help?"... Is she really Ming Furo?

"Even machines will iterate. Is my brain even inferior to machines?"

Ming Fuluo had a blank expression on her face: "You doubt your own abilities too much. You even doubt whether asking Anser about this matter is correct... If you think this is okay, then I have nothing to say."

"Of course, this is just my answer. I did this because I can confirm that I am right. I asked Anser for the answer not to determine the direction and then implement it, but to get a better method from Anser... What you want to think is up to you."

"If you really want me to give you any advice, I'll still say the same thing - don't care about that meaningless saint."

Before Ming Fuluo disappeared, she left behind these words:

"Could it be that in Anser's eyes, she is more important than you and me?"

Although Shitana asked her for help, Ming Furo only gave her this little bit of help which was meaningless, because she really... didn't want to help Shitana.

Whether everything that happened in Donggang was Ansher's plan, and whether the purpose of all this was to make her transform into what she is now, is no longer important to Ming Furo. What is important is her present self, and what is important is... her future with Ansher.

"What should you realize... I don't know, Xitana."

In the distant Donggang, Ming Fuluo looked out the window at the busy flying vehicles and whispered to herself:

"So I can't and can't offer any help, I'm sorry. But Anser is right beside you, and he always says you are the best, don't let him down."

In the room, Shitana, surrounded by warmth, still hadn't recovered.

What’s going on… Ming Fuluo just now was quite handsome.

Is she still the little dwarf who always talks tough?

Calm, confident, decisive, and even giving people a sharp queen demeanor. Even though her image just now was still small, Xitana was really shocked by the aura of Ming Furo's last sentence.

But...that's true.
