The villain's way to tame the protagonist

The two seemingly unrelated roads are about to intersect in the blink of an eye.

Miss Saint stared at Ansher's profile. She didn't like this sentence because it sounded like Mr. Devil was belittling her abilities.

Mr. Devil doesn't believe her simply because she hasn't fallen yet, it's definitely not a problem of ability.

"I will help Mr. Devil deal with all obstacles."

She said with such certainty: "No matter what, no matter who."

"Really?"

Anser narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"What if your enemies... are Xi'er and Marina?"

*

Xitana touched her slightly bulging belly and burped.

The church seemed to have some special method to track monsters, and they quickly provided Hitana with the location of a monster near the large shelter where Lulis was. It was a huge and very ferocious elk.

Unfortunately, this big guy is just like the bear we met last time. He refused to submit to Xitana until his death, so now he has turned into a skeleton... Oh no, it doesn't even have a skeleton anymore, and all the bones have been used to make broth.

"Strange... why are these monsters getting crazier and crazier?"

Miss Wolf, who had eaten her fill, was now sitting on the top of the city wall, stroking the giant wolf that was lying at her side like a dog, and stroking her chin thoughtfully.

She still remembered Anser's reminder clearly. His words implied that there was another hidden story behind the monsters' riot. In addition, the ether monsters were becoming more and more crazy, and even a ferocious person like her was finding it increasingly difficult to tame them. This made Hitana want to go deeper and find out the truth.

"Are those two grand dukes secretly conducting some strange experiments? Should we ask Ming Fuluo... No, no, what's the point of always asking her for help? She has never asked me for help."

If it was Ming Fuluo, then the secrets in this endless blizzard would definitely not be hidden from her. The turbulent ether, the ferocious monsters... it perfectly matches her agility. With the intelligence of the scholar lady, it is estimated that she will be able to pass through the North in no time.

"I really envy Ming Fuluo... How can people be so smart? Don't you think so, Xiao Hui?"

Ming Furo envied Xitana's courage and determination to move forward at any time, and Xitana also envied Ming Furo's keen insight and wisdom. She always felt that if she were smarter, she would have no chance compared to other women!

The giant wolf, who was forced to become humanized, howled twice in obedience and flattery, expressing his agreement with the leader wolf's statement.

Then I got a slap in the face.

"What? You should think that I can be that smart!"

Shitana snorted lightly, stood up, stretched her muscles, and the perception of the Wind Head spread outward. Even though the environment was already so bad, she still forced the Wind Head's perception range to expand despite the extremely violent ether.

"It's only about five meters more than yesterday... that's too little."

The girl grumbled in dissatisfaction, but she had no idea how shocking it was that as a contract leader, she could still improve by "days".

"But it should be enough. Leave the task of evacuation to Lina. I will investigate the secret of the monster riot and finally kill those two useless dukes. In this way, the problem of the North can be perfectly solved!"

When she thought of the two requests she had put forward when she made the deal with the church, which not only solved her worries but also responded to Anser's reminder, Hitana proudly put her hands on her hips.

I'm not stupid after all!

"Oh, by the way... I also need to ask Lina how things are going and who she has chosen to help. Hiss... Lina shouldn't think that I don't trust her."

She and Marina haven't reconciled yet, but Sitana always unconsciously cares about Marina's feelings and emotions.

Xitana hesitated about how to start: "Just... just a simple question? Or find an excuse--"

"You are here, Sitana."

"!"

Miss Wolf's fury instantly exploded, and she almost jumped up on the spot. She turned her head in panic and looked at Marina who suddenly appeared behind her. She subconsciously shouted, "Don't keep coming out from behind people like this, Marina!"

The dignified witch smiled with narrowed eyes: "I thought that with Xitana's strength, she would be able to find me immediately."

I... I wasn't on guard against you, so how did I discover you all of a sudden?

Shitana couldn't say this out loud, so she could only look away embarrassedly, because she felt that shouting just now was not very nice.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" the girl asked with a wandering look.

"Yeah, we are no longer in a relationship where we can talk about anything other than business."

Marina said in a faint voice.

When Xitana heard this, she immediately became anxious: "I, I didn't mean that, I just thought you wouldn't..."

But when she met the teasing gaze of her strange yet familiar sister, she immediately realized that she was being teased.

"Why do you have to learn from Anser when there are so many people you can learn from!"

"This is called resonance of the soul, Sitana."

I don’t know why, but Marina actually wanted to tease Sitana, but only for this moment.

She quickly got into the mood of talking about business, ignoring her sister's resentful look:

"The person who will complete the evacuation of refugees with the church has been selected, and the operation can begin immediately."

"real?!"

Xitana immediately put aside her slight annoyance and said, "Can we evacuate all the refugees here and in other places right away?"

"It needs to be done in batches, and it will take about a month."

"One month... that's about right."

Xitana slowly clenched her fists, feeling relieved.

One month is definitely enough for her to find out the truth about the monster unrest in the north, and gather another group of monsters to attack the Grand Duke's lair directly!

"Shitana."

Just as Miss Wolf was thinking about what posture to use to ask Anser for credit, and what posture to use after asking for credit, Marina suddenly whispered:

"Aren't you worried that I might make a mistake?"

"..."

After coming back to her senses, Xitana was stunned for a few seconds. She looked at her sister and didn't expect that she would ask the question she wanted to ask just now.

Xitana wanted to say the words "I believe you", but she found that she couldn't say it.

It’s not that she really doesn’t believe Marina, but she has realized how heavy the weight of these four words is.

Since this concerns the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, how could she have the time and emotions to be self-satisfied with her relationship with Marina?

This was to save all the innocent people who shouldn't have been involved in this turmoil, not to satisfy her emotions.

Facing Xitana's silence, Marina hid her deep relief in her eyes. She did not continue the topic, but smiled and said:

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

"…Good news?"

Although she didn't know what Marina was going to do, Shitana, feeling a little heavy-hearted, still cooperated with her.

"The good news is that the nobles who are willing to take in the refugees from the North are all trustworthy. They are loyal followers of Mr. Anser. In the words of the church... it is not an exaggeration to call them fanatics."

Marina stretched out her slender fingers, and just by looking at the ring on her ring finger, she smiled with relief and satisfaction.

"Don't underestimate Mr. Anser's charm. Some of your worries are actually unnecessary, Xitana."

This was undoubtedly great news, but Shitana did not seem very happy, because looking at Marina's expression, Shitana knew... what was really important was the bad news.

She slowly clenched her fist and stared into those dark eyes.

"What's the bad news?"

"Bad news..."

Marina stroked the snake ring, closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"The bad news is, someone wants to sabotage this."

"Destroy Mr. Anser's kindness, destroy Mr. Anser's goodness, destroy Mr. Anser's...correctness."

"They believe that Mr. Anser is no different from the emperor. No, he is a mad tyrant who is even more unacceptable to them than the emperor."

The witch's faint voice echoed in the howling of the wind and snow.

She opened her eyes and a charming yet cruel smile appeared on her face:

"What do you think we should do, Sitana?"

"How to do?"

The ferocity and brutality that permeated the whispers of the Scourge Wolf seemed to have turned into a real monster, causing the giant wolf that had once wreaked havoc to tremble in fear.

"They will know how good Anser really is."

A brutal breath slowly came out from between Senbai's sharp teeth, and Hitana also raised a smile that was very similar to Marina's. At this moment, they seemed to have become the pair of close sisters who depended on each other for life and death again.

"Because they'll see me."

Chapter 7.5: Loss and Gain (k) Part

What is the definition of a hero? Is it a noble character, a glorious act, or a determination to die bravely?

After gaining the memories of the heroes, Anser studied them day and night, studying their lives, their selves, why they became heroes, and how to destroy their possibility of becoming heroes.

For a long time, Anser only focused on the heroes themselves and ignored the definition of this attribute - after all, there was nothing to study.

But everything that happened in the West Country and fate's plan to use Xitana and Ming Furo to force him to compromise made Anser realize a lot of things.

One of the points is that...the "hero" recognized by fate and the hero in the secular concept may not be the same thing.

What He needs is not the greatness and integrity of heroes, but something that comes with that greatness and integrity.

This is fate. So what kind of hero is Xin, who also does not think in a normal human way? What kind of person does she want Anser to become, and what kind of salvation does she want him to have?

"Do you really know...what you want, Miss Saint?"

In the hotel room, Ansel stroked the cover of the book in his hand, his fingers stroking the raised gold-plated title - "The Book of Job".

"What do you think, Marina, does she know what she wants?"

A slender figure appeared from the shadows, hugged Anser's neck from behind, and the woman leaned her cheek against Anser intimately and obediently, whispering softly: "I don't understand Miss Saint, Mr. Anser."

Her movements were very similar to the ones Xin used to wrap around Anser, but she did it better. The hands around his neck were not strong, but just rested gently on his shoulders. Even when she put her cheek close to him, it was only a vague touch. She looked delicate and charming, and she knew how to strike a good balance.

"I don't understand her..."

Anser laughed in silence and let Marina hug him naturally: "If you don't understand, how did you provoke her to that extent?"

"Some...little experiences." Miss Witch responded with a chuckle.

“It’s an experience that even I don’t know about.”

Anser held her wrist, stared at the alien snake ring on her white ring finger, and asked calmly:

"So this time, it was for this reason? Some kind of... experience that I didn't expect, but you are very familiar with?"

Marina will do what she thinks is right for Anther. In the West, she thought Anther's hesitation was wrong, so she transformed into a witch and sacrificed thousands of extraordinary people. So this time, she arbitrarily stimulated Xin's already extremely twisted personality...what was the reason?

According to her, it was the so-called... experience.

Does Marina have any experience that can be used in this matter?

"Yes, Mr. Anser." Marina responded with a chuckle, "It's just experience."

"And you can't tell me your experience..."

Hydra sighed and gently stroked Marina's wrist: "Why would I allow you to be so presumptuous, Marina."

"Just like when we were in the West Country, even if I told you that you shouldn't hesitate and be timid because of your feelings for Xitana and Miss Ming Fuluo, you wouldn't listen to me."

The witch kissed Anser's earlobe, then rubbed his cheek lovingly and happily:

"Because you know, there are some things that only a hopeless woman like me can do."

It's not that I won't tell Anser the inside story, but it would be meaningless even if I told him. Just like during the journey to the West, if Marina hadn't taken the initiative, Anser would not have taken the initiative to do those things.

Even the most powerful Hydra needs a covenant and help, not to mention the enemies that Anser is fighting against. Even if you look through history, you will never find another Hydra who can achieve the level he has today.

Every Qishi has his or her own strengths, and Marina just does the best she can at what she is good at.

"But if you continue like this, what will we do if our Saint Lady gets completely pissed off?"

Anser joked, "If she wasn't there, who would repair your soul? If it really came to that, would I need to beg her?"

Of course, Anther couldn't sit idly by and watch Marina fall into despair. Rather, the erosion of the abyss that he was suffering from was accelerated to this point, at least half of which was to bear the erosion that Marina should have endured as the leader of the Devourer. Even so, Marina's already fragile soul was still unable to remain stable like Ming Furo and Xitana, but fell step by step into an irreversible abyss together with Anther.
