The villain's way of taming the protagonist

While the girl was so slanderous, the communication magic crystal in Anser's hand also began to flicker with a light gray light. After a while, the magic crystal projected a three-dimensional image of a huge gray tower. After flashing briefly, the projection of the gray tower turned into An old man with neat hair, kind appearance and hale and hearty spirit.

He has a mustache and a pair of small round-frame glasses. He has a very strong scholarly atmosphere. The background behind him seems to be a study, or it may be an office.

"I didn't expect you to contact me suddenly, little Hydera."

The most powerful Grand Duke in the North raised his cup of hot tea to Anser: "What's the matter?"

There is no honorific title of "you", nor did you add Your Excellency after Hydera, and even use "little" in front of Anser.

The attitude of the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower towards Anser is very different from that of other nobles.

And Anser's attitude towards him was completely different from his attitude towards other nobles.

The young man lowered his head slightly: "Greetings from Jiushu, Your Excellency, the last contact should be four years ago."

"To be precise, it's four years, six months and five days." A sigh appeared on the kind face of the Grand Duke of Gray Tower, "You were just an immature child who asked me about the principles of forbidden arts at that time. In a blink of an eye, it has grown so big.”

Anser smiled: "Time is not tolerant to us, Your Excellency."

"Yeah, time is not tolerant of us." The old man sighed for a while, and then asked gently, "So, what is the purpose of contacting me this time? Is it still a question of spell knowledge? Just ask. "

"No, I want something back from you."

"Oh?" The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower was very surprised, "I don't remember, I took anything from you, Little Hydera."

"Is it Viscount Longbing's life, soul, or... anything else?" Anser said gently and politely, "That has been pre-ordered by me, and he has agreed."

"Is there such a thing? But who is that Viscount Longbing?"

The old man was still puzzled: "Although I'm a little stingy, I'm not going to steal things from young people, let alone just a little Viscount?"

Viscount Sao Feng, lying on the ground unable to move, had a hopeful look on his face.

Yes, Hydera has no evidence, he has no evidence to prove that he, the Viscount Longbing, has a connection with the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower.

As long as the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower categorically vetoes it, what can he do?

Then, Anser took out another item from the pocket of the wolf cloak.

A Shadow Reflection Crystal.

"Do you want to see what picture is stored in this crystal? Your Excellency the Grand Duke?" The young Hydera smiled and spit out the letter leisurely.

During the brief silence, Sitana was at a loss.

——Where did he conjure this thing?When I went to touch my pocket just now, there was nothing but the communication magic crystal.

Chapter 32 The Dominion of the Snake

Shadow Reflection Crystal, an inconspicuous Shadow Reflection Crystal.

A Shadow Reflection Crystal transformed by Anser's father, the greatest alchemist in the world, with [-] special effects such as breath hiding and existence correction.

When Anser took out this thing, the expression of the old man in the communication remained unchanged, but Viscount Sao Feng, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, was extremely pale.

Ask a question, when a psychopath who may kill you on the spot at any time comes to you, you don't care about the dignity of the nobles and propose to use a necromancer to perform an autopsy. When the plan is very likely to go bankrupt and there are only three days left, what do you have? With the contact information of the savior, what would you choose to do?

There is no doubt that Viscount Sao Feng late last night——

"Your Excellency! That Hydera asked me to find a necromancer to examine Long Bing's body, but only gave me three days. What should I do!"

In the screen projected by the Ying Ying crystal, when Viscount Sao Feng opened his mouth, Sitana didn't hold back.

You are too funny, why are you as stupid as a pig? If I were that old man, I would just let Hydera kill you.

Of course, this is where the gap between Sitana and the Grand Duke lies.

The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower looked at Anser with a surprised expression on his face: "Little Hydera, what's the point of showing me this kind of recording picture with unknown meaning? There are thirteen Grand Dukes in the empire. Could it be that he contacted Is it me? What's more..."

The old man put down his teacup and laughed heartily. He seemed to find this scene extremely interesting: "How could a Viscount talk directly to the Grand Duke like this? Little Hydera, you really look down on us too much."

Behind the small pair of round-rimmed glasses, the old eyes with wrinkled eyelids narrowed slightly: "My busy daily life cannot tolerate such meaningless trivial matters as taking care of the viscount, little Hydera."

It's not that he was shamelessly vetoing, but he picked himself out with illogical and flawed words with almost no thinking time and hesitation.

The remarks of the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower are purely reasonable.

Anyway, Xitana was confused by what she said, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what this guy said.

Anser just smiled. He didn't think silently either, and said without hesitation: "Your answer will make Viscount Sao Feng sad, Your Excellency."

"Oh~ so should I feel sorry for that?"

"No, of course not, because you know he won't bite you back at this moment."

Anser spread his hands: "I know him too well for a nobleman with a 'warrior sentiment'. He is obviously just a bandit and pervert who plunders and kills everywhere, and likes to capture and tie his victims to the underground of the castle to torture him, but he always I thought I was some kind of person—”

"'I would rather be killed by a pure nobleman like the Grand Duke than at the hands of that crazy Hydra brat', with such thoughts, how could Viscount Saofeng slander you because of your contempt?"

"It's so strange." The young man sighed, "You and I regard his life as dust, but he chooses to support you instead of accepting my kindness."

The old man who took a sip of hot tea smiled, he seemed to be very interested in this topic: "That's because he didn't have a chance to understand you, you are indeed a kind child, little Hydera - of course, I'm just treating you Benevolence agrees, and as for this Viscount friend... are you going to execute him in front of me? Although I don't know what wrong he has done, don't scare an old man like me."

No one cared about the life and death of Viscount Saofeng—maybe Sitana was one of them, because she gloated and wanted to know how this bastard nobleman would end up in the end.

"... Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Anser sighed, "If possible, I would like to chat with you for a whole day like this, but you also have things to deal with, right?"

The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower agreed with this, and he lifted the scepter held in the other hand: "Its weight always makes me work hard."

"Then I won't waste any more of your time."

Anser changed his posture, from standing up straight to talk to the Grand Duke of Gray Tower, to leaning back lazily on the big chair.

"Chishuang collar, I'm not interested in it."

"..."

This time, His Excellency the Grand Duke did not answer Anser's words smoothly, but said with a smile after a brief pause: "I know, after all, it is the territory of the Chishuang family, isn't it?"

"Yes." Anser propped his face with one hand while smiling, "But according to the laws of the empire, when the Chishuang family has the same title as the Chishuang Earl, when the Chishuang family fails to choose an heir immediately, Has the right to temporarily act on behalf of the territorial affairs."

In fact, in a large territory, it is rare for multiple nobles with the same title to stay for a long time.

He is already an earl, not a small nobleman like a viscount or baron. Why don't he accept his own vast fief instead of crowding with other earls and being forcibly suppressed in other people's territories?Even the Viscount and Baron rarely stay in other people's territories for a long time.

But the Scarlet Frost Territory... There was such a special situation. The Earl of Jianshi, who was also an earl, did not stay in his fief, but had stayed in the Scarlet Frost Territory for seven full years.

And recently, she has gotten a little closer to Anser.

"It's a pity that although Earl Chishuang, um...has many concubines, he only has one eldest son, and he has no relatives of the same generation. 5#%1%<7+

The child happened to disappear unfortunately.This is a little troublesome, Grand Duke Gray Tower. "

The young Hydera said leisurely: "You should have not contacted him for a while, haven't you?"

The Grand Duke of Gray Tower rubbed the exquisite teacup lightly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then little Hydera is willing to help Chishuang to find his original owner?"

"It's hard to say, the Northland is vast, and it's hard to find people."

Anser shook his head, but soon said jokingly:

"But maybe, after I leave, the successor of the Chishuang family will appear by himself?"

After about four or five seconds of silence, Grand Duke Gray Tower's laughter came from the screen projected by the communication crystal.

More hearty, louder, more carefree laughter.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful...you are his masterpiece, little Hydra."

The old man was so amazed: "I was still wondering why you just deprived Cantrell of the title, instead of cutting off the entire noble title of the Chishuang family. I thought it was Ulesar who dealt with Cantrell Son of Er, are you waiting for this time?"

In the empire, the weight of an individual's title of nobility is completely different from that of a family's nobility.

A felony can deprive an individual of his title, but it is very difficult to abolish the honor of an entire family according to the laws of the empire. That's why the nobles of the empire are gradually corrupted. Protect the nobility.

That's why the nobles are so afraid of Hydera.

Because Hydera said to kill your whole family, they really killed your whole family, and most of the time, they always choose to kill your whole family.

Anser didn't inherit his father's authority, but he could find a reason to put the shit that Earl Chishuang did on the head of every Chishuang family equally, and then kill them all. If anyone has any objections, they can Move out his lunatic father who not only killed the whole family, but also turned other people's families into alchemy potions, and let the most terrifying monster in the entire empire stand for him.

Or, to complain to His Majesty the emperor - the upper aristocratic circle of the entire empire knows that the great emperor has an extremely abnormal love for the young Hydera, which is so abnormal that it can make people have some extremely dangerous associations.

In short, Anser could have killed all the Chishuang family, but he didn't, and what surprised and delighted the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower was that Anser did this not to be afraid of anyone or to save face for anyone.

But waiting for this moment, waiting for the moment when they talk like this.

If all the chess pieces are destroyed and all business operations are destroyed, the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower has no need to pay attention to Anser.

But now, not only did he have to carefully consider, the Earl of Stone, who was stationed in the Scarlet Frost Territory, or the... Grand Duke Iron Blade behind him, but also Anser's request.

This young Hydera, who was only 16 years old and did not have any leader, had only brought a group of servants into the northern border for just over a month, without using any unnecessary violence or directly taking advantage of the situation, He can use the struggle game between the two Grand Dukes to earn the maximum benefit he needs. How can this make the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower not admire it?

Now, he has begun to wonder what kind of request this unique Hydera wants to make.

ps:

This is the first time I write this kind of plot, I hope I didn’t write it too stupidly (scratching my head), if it doesn’t work, just watch it, I will try to reduce the direct description of this plot as much as possible in the future.

Chapter 33 The real purpose of the Gray Tower

"What do you need?" The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower said without hesitation, "My kind little Hydera, what do you need me to do to remain neutral in the Scarlet Frost Territory?"

Anser was not contemptuous and complacent due to the changed attitude of the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower, and his tone was still gentle and polite: "First of all, about Viscount Longbing..."

"His soul will return to his body soon." When the Grand Duke of Gray Tower said this, his expression was still so friendly, as if the person who didn't admit that he was related to the two viscounts at all just now was not him at all.

"Big--"

The poor Viscount Sao Feng just yelled a word, but for some reason he was unable to make any sound. Even if he opened his mouth wide and his neck was so exhausted that his veins bulged, his cry was just a silent and powerless struggle.

Seeing this scene, Sitana was amazed by the methods of the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower, and felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart with the two guys who talked and laughed freely and did not treat the Viscount as a person at all.

"Then, Chishuang collar's 'harvest' this year will belong to me."

"..." The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower remained silent for a while, but quickly chuckled, "I have no objection to this, but little Hydera..."

He said meaningfully: "You only brought a group of maids and a housekeeper, are you confident to eat this year's harvest?"

Since the Scarlet Frost Collar can allow two big announcements to compete, of course it has its special features.

The young Hydera chuckled and said, "I think you already have the answer in your heart, and you designed this farce for that, didn't you?"

He turned his head to look at Viscount Xiao Feng, who was about to burst into tears, and sighed: "Poor Viscount, do you really think that His Excellency the Grand Duke took the initiative to contact you just to help you, or just to take revenge on me?"

Anser shook his head, taking the last ounce of dignity and reason from Viscount Saofeng with pity and regret:

"He just wants to use you guys to test out what kind of hole cards I hide without any external force. Do you have the answer? Your Excellency the Grand Duke?"

The young man looked at the kindly smiling old man in the picture with a half-smile: "Is it the head of the wind, the head of darkness, or the head of the spirit? Which pact head did I borrow from my father?"

"Hehe... Regarding this, little Hydera, you can't talk nonsense."

The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower smiled like a kind elder and said: "I admire you so much for an outstanding young man, why would I do something inexplicably?"

"You're right, I was only joking."

The old and the young laughed at the same time, having a good time, and Xitana, who was watching, was physically uncomfortable.

"Then, I won't waste your time anymore." Anser stood up and bowed slightly to the prestigious grand duke of the northern border, "May you go further on the long road of seeking the truth, Your Excellency."

"And you too, little Hydra."

The old man nodded with a smile and ended the communication.

Thus, the farce ended.

"...That's it, it's over?" Xitana looked at Anser so suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong.

She felt as if she had missed something very important. From the very beginning to the present... she always felt that something had been overlooked by herself.

What exactly is that?

Sitana didn't think about this question until night.

*

"So those things were all done by the old housekeeper?!"

At the dining table, Xitana and Anser, who had taken off their collars, sat face to face, and she yelled in disbelief: "I said why he disappeared as soon as he got here, why is he so powerful, and he has finished everything, put Crystal video, find the dungeon below the castle, and rescue the unlucky guy who was imprisoned and tortured by that perverted noble..."

"That's why those guards didn't come to rescue this guy, because that bastard Viscount Saofeng was so perverted that he hired the victim's family members and friends to work! I said how could there be nobles who are so kind... The maids are fine, even the guards They are all civilians. Damn it, I would have done it myself if I knew it earlier, and I would break that beast's dog legs!"
