Sifannie's expression was cold, and she asked directly without disguising, "Do you really think I would betray them?"
You want me to betray you
Is it that simple
Herbert's answer was more direct.
"why not?"
Sfanny:
Herbert said without any hesitation, "Since they have already betrayed you, why can't you betray them?"
"They didn't remember you for hundreds of years, and only remembered you when there was a family struggle. Do they really have good intentions?"
"Impossible, I am a noble, I know this operation very well."
He sneered and shook his head, saying, "They are just using you as a tool for struggle, and will throw you away when you are no longer valuable."
To put it bluntly, Sfanny is just used as a tool to raise the banner.
"Besides, although you are used to being alone, is this really a suitable place for you to do research?"
"Do we have enough research materials? Even if we have enough now, these existing materials will eventually run out, and new materials will be discovered in the outside world... Can you really tolerate no progress in research?"
First explain the reason, then appeal to their emotions.
"Moreover, as you said before, the blood of the dark elves flows in your body. Betrayal is not something that is unacceptable to you."
"In that case, what are you hesitating about?"
"Sfanny, please help me and give me a chance to help you."
He said:
"Instead of trusting some 'family' who never trust you, don't understand your ideas, always look down on your research, and ignore you..."
“Why can’t you choose me?”
Herbert stared at Sfanny and smiled, then bowed and extended his hand to her gracefully.
That action looked like he was inviting a female companion to dance with him at a party.
"So... just think of it as being for me."
"Please betray your family."
Chapter 51 Because They Have No Choice
"In short, I have said everything I need to say. As for how to do it specifically, it depends on your own considerations."
Herbert smiled at Sfanny, winked at her, and said softly:
"I know this happened a little suddenly, and you may not be able to accept it for a while, but it doesn't matter. We still have time, and you can think about it for a while."
final.
Although Herbert's attitude was sincere and touching, and the conditions he proposed sounded very tempting, Sfanny still did not accept his invitation on the spot.
She said she needed to think about it.
After all, doing so would undoubtedly mean cutting off ties with one's past self and breaking off relations with one's bloodline.
Such a big matter should not be decided so frivolously.
Herbert also expressed his understanding and did not force her to make a decision now. He was willing to wait for her to think carefully before giving him an answer.
Moreover, he was worried that Sfannie would be embarrassed, so he was very considerate and did not continue to pester her. He decisively chose to leave and leave the time for Sfannie.
"Let's end this visit here. I'm leaving now. You should think about it carefully."
"… Um."
Herbert turned around and walked out of the tree house easily, waving his hand behind him and said, "No need to see me off."
Sfanny behind him didn't say anything else. She just stood quietly at the door, watching him walk away step by step into the forest.
After entering the fluorescent forest, Herbert's expression remained unchanged, his pace was neither fast nor slow, and his posture was relaxed as if he was strolling in the woods at night.
Only after he completely walked out of the forest and returned to darkness did he stop, squinting his eyes and exhaling slowly.
call…
Herbert let out a long sigh, nodded silently, and smiled meaningfully.
"hehe."
In my mind, the gloating voice of the God of Harmony sounded at the right time: [“It seems that your honey trap has failed this time~”]
[“It seems that your charm is not great enough. People don’t accept your invitation at all!”]
"Oh, what do you know?"
Herbert snorted lightly, not angry at all, and said lightly:
"For something like this, as long as you don't refuse on the spot, it's already a success. There's at least a 70% chance that it can be considered as consent."
"As for when to agree, it's just a matter of time."
Herbert felt that this person who called himself the evil god might really not understand the twists and turns involved.
"I've already pointed my finger at someone and forced him to rebel, but he just said he would think about it."
"Do you think this communication was a failure or a success?"
[“… ”]
Nenasha remained silent, realizing that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Seeing that the evil god was silent, Herbert did not continue to pursue him, but chuckled and shook his head.
hehe.
It's okay to taunt your allies, but there has to be a limit.
Know when to quit and don't push Him too far.
As for his first meeting with Sfanny, Herbert was generally satisfied.
In Herbert's opinion, as long as the other party did not drive him out as soon as he finished speaking, he was basically successful.
Giving Sfanni time to think is just to give her a way out, so as not to make it too embarrassing on the surface.
No one would think that someone who can easily betray her own relatives is a pushover.
Even if they really are such people, they would not want to appear like this.
"You really don't understand human nature."
Nenasha:
["snort!"]
The evil god was originally planning to avoid this topic, but after hearing this, he became a little unhappy and snorted:
[“I say, my dear ally, I may not understand human hearts, but do you really understand women’s hearts?”]
"Oh? How do you mean?"
Herbert blinked and asked with amusement, "Do you have any good ideas?"
["certainly!"]
Although Herbert couldn't see Nenasha's expression, he could sense her smugness from her voice.
[“She might agree to your invitation, but don’t you think this process is a little too simple?”]
Herbert raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what He meant.
"Do you think Sfanny is... too easy to talk to?"
Taibai gave it
"Don't you think so?"
Nenasha's voice was unusually serious, and she called him by his name and said, "Herbert, no legendary warrior is simple."
[“You don’t understand how difficult it is to become a legend. No matter who you are, it’s impossible to become a legend easily.”]
[“Whether it’s this seemingly taciturn elf, the little fish that likes to sing, or the little bat that seems easy to bully… they are not as simple as they appear.”]
No strong person is naive.
Nenasha continued to speak, but Herbert suddenly interrupted: "I think what you said makes sense, but wait a moment... Where is my Valentina?"
"Why didn't you talk about her? What happened to our Valentina? Why didn't you bring her along when you talked about the legend?"
Is she a legendary powerhouse
I ask you, is she a legendary powerhouse
You are not allowed to bring up Valentina!
Aren't they just a little dull, a little naive, and a little greedy
Is it necessary to treat them differently like this
We at the Valentina Protection Association do not accept such double standards!
[“So… you think I’m lying to you?”]
The evil god's tone was somewhat unhappy, and he seemed ready to explode at any moment.
"No, I actually agree with you."
Herbert shrugged and chuckled to comfort him, "Of course I understand what you said."
"Let alone these legendary masters, even ordinary people would not fall so easily."
Communication and relationships between people are not a strategy game. It is not as simple as "as long as you make the right choice, the other person will fall in love with you unconditionally."
People are complicated.
It won't be changed so easily by others.
Unless forced hypnosis is used, there won't be a scene where someone shows off his domineering aura and passersby bow down to him.
The external conditions and special abilities that Herbert possessed at the moment only lowered the threshold a lot, and the pace of attacking was accelerated a bit.
"But, Nenasha, you overlooked one point - does Svani have a choice?"
["choose?"]
“Yes, it’s a choice.”
Herbert wandered through the seemingly endless darkness, enjoying the silence.
"If it was in the outside world, she would just ignore me and treat me like an idiot."
"But this is the Third Order, she is just a prisoner, and I am the only warden willing to show her kindness."
"If she doesn't want to stay the same, then her only option is to work with me."
The corners of Herbert's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile flashed in his light eyes.
"So, it's not that Sfannie is easy to talk to, nor is it that Freme and the others are too obedient."
“They simply have no choice.”
Chapter 52 Chapter 51 True Heart for True Heart (Please read!)
From the very beginning, Herbert's status was unequal to that of the prisoners.
Monster girls may be powerful, have a high status in the outside world, or have great wealth...
But when facing him, their only identity is that of a prisoner.
And he is the warden, in charge of everything in the prison.
The alien prison has been peaceful for too long. Although these prisoners don't say it on the surface, they all yearn for change in their hearts.
It doesn't even matter whether the change is good or bad.
As long as there is change.
