Come on, Master "General Attack"

"It's so pitiful~" Tilting his head slightly, Scrophulariae's fingers slowly stroked, "Put on a mask, paint your hair silver, and even, you can't live in the sun... just because, they, need you."

City Lord Lingsu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon regained their light.

Nonetheless.

But everything I did was to protect this Lingsu city.

However, this glimmer of light became dim in Scrophulariae's next sentence.

"Shiqin~ Are you really what they need?" Xuan Shen looked directly into the eyes of City Lord Lingsu, and City Lord Lingsu could even see his own reflection in those black eyes. It was a man with confused eyes .

Do they... need me?

Scrophulariaceae gave him the answer.

"What they need is belief~" Scrophulariae put down his hand, turned sideways, and pointed in one direction with a smile.

City Lord Lingsu followed that direction unconsciously, and then felt that his heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss.

That's the crowd trying to get out of town.

There was a blur in front of his eyes, and City Lord Lingsu suddenly felt...aggrieved.

Actually, he knew it.

No one ever needed him.

Protecting this home and protecting these family members is all his wishful thinking...

He also knows.

That belief... even if it wasn't him... no one would care...

but……

"Poor little Shiqin," Scrophulariae's tone did not change, but there was an inexplicable sense of sadness, as if what he said was not a guess, but a fact that had already been confirmed, "You were abandoned by them~"

Abandoned by them...?

The Lord of Lingsu City opened his eyes wide. He didn't dare to imagine where he would go without Lingsu City.

Really... myself...

"When they discovered that you, Lord City Master, were of no use to them...they abandoned you without hesitation." Scrophulariae turned his head to the side, admiring the shattered despair on the face of City Master Lingsu, and continued Said, "After all, it was never that they needed you, but that you depended on them."

Following Scrophulariaceae's words, City Lord Lingsu lowered his eyes as if he had given up on something.

"Faith is the most fragile." Scrophulariae looked at him, but there was nothing in his eyes, and there was no emotion in his words, not ridicule, not teasing, but as if describing a fact, "It's really vulnerable the city~"

Turning his head, Scrophulariae's fingers touched City Lord Lingsu's cheek again, and his eyes moved, as if he was worried about himself, "Xiao Shiqin, have you ever thought about leaving here?"

leave……

"However, is it really a good thing to cut off the shackles and get out of the cage?" Scrophulariae gently wiped away the tears on the face of Lingsu City Lord with his fingers. It was so light that it brought an illusion of tenderness. Those ungrateful fellows?"

City Lord Lingsu felt the coolness of Scrophulariae's fingers, but couldn't say anything.

He knew he couldn't do it.

City Lord Lingsu subconsciously wanted to say something, but his throat was so dry that he remained silent until Scrophulariae Scrophulariae rang out with a bewitching voice, "Escape is the right of the weak, City Lord, you have never been weak~"

Not... the weak?

Shocked by his evaluation of himself, City Lord Lingsu was stunned for a moment.

"Become a cage, trap everyone in Lingsu City, use..." Scrophulariae turned his head, looked directly into the eyes of Shang Lingsu City Lord, and slightly parted his thin lips, "...power~"

……strength?

City Lord Lingsu looked at Scrophulariae, trying to find a trace of lying on his face.However, Scrophulariaceae wore a perfect smile from the beginning to the end, and even his tone of voice remained unchanged.

Something seemed to explode in his head, making Lingsu unable to utter any rebuttals.

"That's right, City Lord, use strength to make them surrender under your feet." Scrophulariae looked at him, and the words he said seemed to be engraved in his heart, "Keep them. Not with the belief that would collapse in an instant, but with Yes, with the fear of power engraved into the bone marrow~"

The words were clearly provocative, but Scrophulariae Scrophulariae was always smiling, even with a smile in his tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "Use your strength to show them... Ling Shiqin, that is, this city of Lingsu Your master is their god. And they can only look up to you, worship you, respect you, and rely on you, so they can survive~"

City Lord Lingsu listened to Scrophulariae's words in a daze, and somewhere in his heart seemed to have taken root from the shell.

"Can I... keep them?" City Lord Lingsu asked blankly, looking into Scrophulariae's eyes, seeking an answer.

However, the answer to Scrophulariaceae was already doomed.

Scrophulariaceae narrowed his eyes, slightly increased the volume, and spoke with full trust and sustenance, "Use strength to protect this Lingsu City~"

use force...

City Lord Lingsu clenched his fists and lowered his head.For a moment, when he raised his head again, there was no confusion and wavering in his eyes.

"it is good."

An answer represented his determination and firmness.

Scrophulariaceae lowered his head slightly, so City Lord Lingsu didn't see it, and he smiled even brighter.

"Sir, I..." City Lord Lingsu didn't know, his eyes were full of hazy dependence at this moment.

How to do?

How can... keep them? !

With a chuckle, Scrophulariae turned sideways, his slightly lowered eyes concealed those dark calculations and... anticipation for the upcoming drama.

"The troops in Xuan Lin's hands are not enough..." City Lord Ling Su's voice gradually dropped.

As if hearing something funny, Scrophulariaceae's eyes narrowed, "Is the city lord really ignorant of people, or he doesn't want to admit it."

City Lord Lingsu looked at Scrophulariae, waiting for his next words.

"After such a big event, Xuan Lin asked the city lord to contact those people alone..." Scrophulariaceae spoke patiently, as if luring prey into a trap, "If I hadn't been there that day, the city lord would have been in trouble what~"

Trouble is an understatement.

If he hadn't been rescued in time, City Lord Lingsu knew that he might not escape death.

Thinking of the despair and grievance at that time, the emotions that had already calmed down in the heart of City Lord Lingsu surged again.

"he……"

After all, after ten years of getting along, City Lord Lingsu was still subconsciously looking for excuses.

"If Zhu Liguo of the Xuan family fights Lingsu City," Scrophulariae interrupted him with a smile on his face, "The city lord said, will Xuanlin become an internal response~"

"No way!" City Lord Lingsu interrupted him, "Xuan Lin and Scrophulariae have a sworn feud..."

Scrophulariaceae pursed his lips and smiled, "Only the city lord can believe such words."

He took a step towards City Lord Lingsu, he was obviously still smiling, but he looked aggressive.

City Lord Lingsu could not help but take a few steps back.

"Facing the enemy, Xuan Lin never moved a hand, didn't hurt him at all, and even raised the emperor of the empire with delicious food..." Scrophulariae's smile deepened, "If this is the case among enemies, Wouldn't the world be peaceful."

City Lord Lingsu didn't try to refute.

Scrophulariaceae said lightly, "Blood is thicker than water, the city lord will understand." Looking at the pale face of the city lord Lingsu, his voice changed, "Besides, the city lord can see through the secrets and has the power to trap thousands of troops. Ability, why belittle yourself."

City Lord Lingsu was taken aback for a moment, but when he understood what Scrophulariae meant, he frowned tightly.

"You mean...the magic circle."

Squinting and smiling, Scrophularia scrophulariae answered without a trace of hesitation, "Yes or not." After a pause, he raised his head slightly, his smile was brighter than the dazzling sunlight, "The city lord naturally knows more about magic circles than I do." , isn't it~"

City Lord Lingsu lowered his head, feeling a little hesitant.

That magic circle is taboo.

"Are you afraid, are you afraid?" Scrophulariae interrupted the thinking of City Lord Lingsu, and said with a smile, "Of course~ because... only such a magic circle can protect Lingsu City .”

When Scrophulariaceae spoke, the emotion in his eyes remained unchanged.

However, the more natural he is, the more uneasy Ling Su feels.

The book said that the magic circle has the power to reach the sky.

He thought about the magic circle in the book in his mind, and just thinking about it, the weird patterns and terrifying pressure made his hair stand on end.

It's almost an intuition.

City Lord Lingsu's racing thoughts were interrupted by Scrophulariae's sigh.

"If the city lord regrets, he can naturally give up..." Scrophulariae smiled, but the lowered eyes brought a sense of loneliness, "I thought that the city lord was a strong man who could protect Lingsu City, it seems... I was wrong."

He walked to the side of City Lord Lingsu, with a slight smile on his face, "What a pity~"

Scrophulariaceae said so, turned around without hesitation, and was about to leave.

As they passed by, City Lord Lingsu subconsciously said something to stop him, "I never regret it, I'm just worried..."

"No one can control everything." Scrophulariaceae stopped in his tracks.

He turned sideways and looked at City Lord Lingsu, "A fearful heart is the proof of being alive~"

When he said this, his expression was obviously still smiling, but it was inexplicably convincing.

"Use this magic circle to tell them that Ling Shiqin is powerful." Xuan Shen looked directly into Lingsu's eyes, and his tone was contemptuous, but it rekindled the fire in Lingsu's eyes, "The city lord with power is theirs." What is needed is their beliefs, to condense this Lingsu City again, and use...the heaven-sent magic circle that only you can use..."

I am... strong...

but……

Just to show the strength, activate this magic circle...

"Actually, you know..." Scrophulariaceae looked into his eyes, "Trouble is coming."

City Lord Lingsu didn't answer, but his expression said everything.

"The army is overwhelming, you need to be strong enough to protect them. And after seeing you like that," continued, Scrophulariaceae smiled meaningfully, "How dare they, how can they, abandon you~"

City Lord Lingsu opened his eyes slightly.

It seemed to remind me of that scene.

As a hero who protected Lingsu City, he was worshiped and admired by them.

The anxiety in Lingsu City Lord's heart gradually calmed down.

Rather, he firmly denied the uneasiness in his heart.

Facing Scrophulariaceae, City Lord Lingsu slowly knelt down and saluted.He was still expressionless, but there was a trace of desperate madness in the depths of his eyes.

"Please sir help me."

Scrophulariaceae narrowed his eyes, but his eyes did not stay on City Lord Lingsu who was kneeling at his feet.

His smile disappeared bit by bit, but soon reappeared on his face.

"That's...natural."

Scrophulariaceae's smile is so beautiful that it makes people trance.

And the more beautiful something is... the deadlier it is.
