The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

It can be called a win-win situation. He won twice by playing the thief Cao, no, he can win a third time.

As far as Wan Xing knows, although the First Princess has a bad personality, she is very fond of the strong. The transformation from sadistic to masochistic happens in an instant. As long as you are more ruthless than her and conquer her, she will follow you wholeheartedly and obey you in everything. How docile can she be?

The empire was destroyed and the royal family was almost killed. As a princess, she still clung to him with a sly face. Although she kept saying that she wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge by his side, she was actually obsessed with love and couldn't extricate herself!

It is a classic character setting. The revenge for genocide is not as important as love!

The game author couldn't have come up with this ultimate love-brain character without a cerebral thrombosis for 100 years, but at least in Wanxing's opinion, her personality is very useful - by letting her stay by his side, he can do many bad things that he is not convenient to do.

Since she's a female villain from the start, then don't whitewash her. Isn't it a match made in heaven for her to follow the villain like herself?

When I help her deal with the brave man in the future to avenge her father's death, she will thank me!

Gentlemen, we are so bad!

……

Just as Wanxing was quickly thinking about how to intercept, the two girls standing in the distance finally couldn't stand anymore.

Devilia naturally recognized Wanxing Russell, the son of the Duke. According to the intelligence she collected, Wanxing was an ordinary playboy, so after arriving at Russell Academy, she did not take the initiative to make friends with him.

But when she passed by just now and saw Wanxing killing crazily, Davilia changed her original evaluation - although Wanxing was just finishing off the enemy, such cruel killing was very much in line with her aesthetic taste, and he was fully qualified to be her subordinate.

So, she stood aside without hiding her figure, waiting for Wanxing to finish enjoying the feast of killing.

According to common sense, when Wan Xing saw her, he would definitely take the initiative to come up and say hello, and then she would be polite and friendly to make friends with him.

A set of smooth combos of [treating, beheading, and treating him like a dog]!

We will definitely be able to take it down!

However, the opposite happened. She stood there for a long time, but Wanxing seemed to be lost in thought and had no intention of coming over.

Even though Davilya was extremely cunning, she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

She maintained a calm and gentle expression with some embarrassment, waiting for the other party to come back to his senses.

Elsewhere, Wan Xing, having decided to snatch the heroine's attention, straightened his back and looked back at the First Princess. She was watching him with a sly glint in her eyes, as if she had stumbled upon an interesting toy.

Sensing Wanxing's gaze, Davilia smiled and nodded at him, a friendly greeting. Without another word, she turned and walked away, seemingly preparing to leave the maze. Her swaying cape, emblazoned with a royal pink tulip, stood out against her pure white magic robe.

Chapter 11: Shortcuts to the Heart

Davilia's playing hard to get technique was used with ease. As expected, high-end hunters often appeared as prey.

Unfortunately, her winks were thrown to a blind man. Wan Xing knew her personality very well and did not speak to keep her. Instead, he used the analysis and identification power he had just learned on Davilya's back to see the effect.

[Name: Devilia Dedo Blois]

[Magician Level: LV29] (Level Cap: LV59)

[Magic: Basic Ice Magic, Elementary Ice Magic, Intermediate Ice Magic...] (Click to expand details.)

[Talent: Witch Physique] (Unawakened, level cap removed after awakening.)

The identified information is not much different from what Wanxing knows, but it is much more detailed and you can click to expand the details, which is very convenient.

In particular, the introduction to Devilia's unawakened witch physique—the Witch of Annihilation—is mentioned. Upon full awakening, she can use ice magic to control the kinetic energy of particles, reducing it to the lowest point in quantum mechanics, known as absolute zero. At absolute zero, the entropy of all pure substances in perfect crystals is zero.

The direction of entropy increase is the same as the direction of time passage. In a sense, the cessation of entropy increase also means the stillness of time.

In short, it is mysterious and powerful, very scary!

In order to awaken the terrifying physique of the Witch of Annihilation, the resource required is the extremely rare [Source of Magic Power], and a full nine of them are required - yes, one of the treasures obtained by Wanxing from opening the treasure chest after killing the main BOSS on the maze floor.

This thing is extremely precious, and the magic power it contains is vast and boundless, which can completely power the protective magic circle of the entire imperial capital.

In fact, the reason why Deviliya condoned other villains to frame the male protagonist in her name was because the male protagonist was in possession of a treasure.

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world. In the game, the male protagonist Kaiwu Ryutani defeated the main BOSS of the Russell Maze and obtained the [Source of Magic Power]. Then he met the First Princess who came to the maze to practice practical skills.

It was not known whether he did it on purpose or accidentally, but Davilia saw him holding the [Source of Magic] in his hand.

The reason why Davilya's Witch of Annihilation physique has not been awakened is because she is too short of magic power. The magic power provided by magic stones or magic crystals is like a drop in the bucket for her and is far from enough!

Therefore, the attraction of the [Source of Magic] to her is like a thirsty fish encountering river water. You can imagine how tempting it is.

If the [Source of Magic Power] was held by someone with great strength or a deep background, Davilia would still choose a fair trade.

But at that time, Longgu Kaiwu was just an unknown person, like a child carrying gold walking in a busy city, the result is naturally needless to say.

Davilia directly chose to buy it for free to save transaction costs - she left the imperial capital and came to Russell Academy because she lacked resources for cultivation. It would be best if she could seize such a precious treasure by trickery and force.

The whole plan was flawless, and the process went very smoothly—after all, why would a girl use her innocence to slander someone else out of thin air? The lack of evidence wasn't a problem; as an imperfect victim, her words were irrefutable proof!

Not to mention that this was an accusation from Her Royal Highness the First Princess, and Long Gu Kaiwu could only be thrown into prison without any defense.

If Ryutani Kaiwu was not the male protagonist, and did not have the protagonist's halo to attract the strong intervention of the Holy Empire, the final result would definitely be the loss of treasures and unjust death in prison.

And now, the [Source of Magic] fell into Wanxing's hands. Thinking of the entropy stagnation state of Davilya's consciousness when she awakened the physique of the Witch of Annihilation in the game, Wanxing suddenly came up with a bold idea.

As soon as he got the [super villain halo], he started thinking about how to do bad things. Well, this is called professionalism!

Thinking back, Wan Xing looked in the distance at the direction where Devilia and the female knight gradually disappeared, and said to Luo Ai'er, the butler, and the captain of the guards, "It's getting late, let's go back!"

……

At night, Wanxing enjoyed the luxurious dishes prepared by Luo Ai'er while looking through the information about Dafuliya collected by the Duke's Mansion.

After all, a game is just a game. It is impossible to describe the heroine's daily life in every detail like a diary.

The information analyzed and identified tends to focus on a person's specific abilities, and will not describe every aspect of their daily life.

Therefore, if we want to understand the life trajectory of Davilya and find a suitable opportunity to intercept her, we need to conduct further follow-up investigation.

Of course, Wanxing didn't need to go to the trouble of sending someone to investigate. The Duke's Mansion already collected intelligence on every member of the royal family, so he just needed to check it directly.

Soon, he noticed a detail - when going to the library, Davilia would let the guardian knight Noranti read the training experience and skill books related to the knight profession by himself.

Davilia highly respects and trusts Nolandi, with whom she grew up. Naturally, she hopes that Nolandi can become stronger through practice and better assist her in the future.

This was one of the few times that Davrilya was alone. Whether she was attending classes, eating, or even entering the maze, she was always accompanied by a knight. Even at night, when they slept in the luxurious single-family dorm, they shared a bedroom with Norlandi.

The reason why Wan Xing chose to intercept her when she was alone, instead of giving her the [Source of Magic] as a gift and pursuing her openly, was because of that.

That’s because Devlia has no shortage of bootlickers!

As the first princess of the Magic Empire, the number of noble young men who admired and pursued her was enough to circle around Russell Academy, and she even had many suitors abroad. This didn't even count the commoners who secretly loved her but were too embarrassed to express their feelings.

Wan Xing, who knew Dafuliya's arrogant personality, knew that if he chose to pursue her, it would just be another dog for the First Princess - at most a bigger dog, with no essential difference.

So how can we truly conquer her?

As a reference case, the male protagonist in the game came back to kill her entire family after awakening his brave physique!

Oh, that was so violent, bloody and cruel!

As an elegant villain, Wanxing just wants to open a convenient back door and take a shortcut to the heart!

What a quick, easy and economical way to snatch the male lead's chance!

"Hmm?" Wan Xing was suddenly stunned, and a hint of joy gradually appeared on his face: "I almost forgot that there is still the hero's familiar who can intercept!"

Here we have to mention the familiar settings in the game world of "Revenge of the Holy Brave".

Every magician can contract a familiar. Once the contract is signed, the familiar and the magician form a permanent partnership until their death. Besides combat, familiars can also serve as scouts, acting as the magician's spies, or as messengers delivering messages.

Chapter 12: Sacred Contract

If a magician has an excellent familiar and uses it properly, he can completely make up for the weakness of the magic profession in melee combat, achieving an improvement of 1+1>2, and even be able to single-handedly challenge an adventure team of the same level!

Unfortunately, excellent familiars are too rare in this world - the more powerful the monster, the fewer eggs it lays, and because its parents are so powerful, it is difficult to snatch their cubs.

The success rate of forming a familiar contract is higher only when the familiar is a cub; it is difficult for human magicians to form a contract with an adult magical beast. (Druids of the Elven Empire and Shamans of the Orc Empire are not included in this category.)

Therefore, most of the familiars contracted by magicians are very weak monsters, which can usually only perform reconnaissance or messenger work. They are not even summoned during battles to avoid losing their lives in vain. After all, training a messenger does require resources, which is probably about the same as the cost of buying a mobile phone for modern people. It will still be painful if it breaks down.

On average, among a thousand magicians, it is considered good if one has a familiar that can participate in frontal combat.

However, there are always exceptions. The top-quality familiars that are very rare for other magicians can be easily obtained by the cheating heroes.

It was after finishing a class on forming familiar contracts that Longgu Kaiwu came to a shop selling Warcraft materials in the south of Russell City.

Under the enthusiastic recommendation (tricking) of the shop owner, I spent all my net worth of 11 gold coins, 11 silver coins, and 11 copper coins to buy a gray Warcraft egg.

The 11 gold coins were borrowed from the accompanying Claires. Claires was a swordsman by profession and could not contract a familiar, so there was no need to buy them.

However, Ryutani Kaiwu didn't know that he was being cheated by the shop owner because this was a useless egg that couldn't be sold.

By shining a light magic lamp on a normal monster egg, you can vaguely see the general shape of the interior and infer the type of monster inside.

Although this method cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, it can still infer about 30%.

If the craftsman has more than ten years of relevant work experience and is familiar with the shapes of various monster embryos, the accuracy rate can even be increased to more than 50%.

As for the monster egg that Longgu Kaiwu bought, the master craftsman who had worked in the store for 30 years observed it repeatedly and judged that it was as clear as water, with good light transmittance, and there was no monster larva at all.

In other words, this is a defective egg that is not fertilized and does not even have a yolk.

The master chef's suggestion for utilizing the remaining value is that after high-temperature cooking, it may be edible! Please be sure to check whether it is poisonous before eating, otherwise we will not be responsible for any accidents!

But how could a black-hearted shop owner be willing to do business at a loss?

He carefully observed the customers who came to shop every day, but he couldn't find a suitable target - the kind of people who seemed to have no background, no experience, and no threat.

Until that day, when the inexperienced Ryutani Kaiwu stepped into the shop, the owner immediately knew that this was the person he wanted to trick! (PS: This was actually also influenced by the world consciousness.)

Then, through some deception, the shop owner finally succeeded in transferring the loss cost of the broken egg to Long Gu Kaiwu.

Friends who like to get to the bottom of things may ask again, why did the store owner, who is so smart, receive this broken egg?

This is related to the supply model of World of Warcraft eggs:

The source of Warcraft eggs is usually that adventurers rob or steal them from Warcraft nests while on hunting missions.

Among them, the monster eggs produced by high-level monster nests are generally used by adventurers themselves, or sold to acquaintances in need at a high price, or directly put them on the auction house for sale. They will never flow into the store market.

Adventurers usually sell the monster eggs produced by ordinary monster nests directly to the Adventurer's Guild, which is convenient and there is no need to worry about being cheated by unscrupulous merchants.

The Adventurer's Guild does not purchase these monster eggs to eat, but usually packages them and sells them in bulk to store owners to make a profit from the difference.

This supply model is like opening a blind box. If a useless egg comes out occasionally, the store owner has to bear the cost himself, or transfer the cost to the buyer.

Just like this time, the black-hearted shop owner finally did not lose money.

But Longgu Kaiwu made a huge profit!

Because this monster egg is not a useless egg, but a top-quality one that is more precious than an ordinary dragon egg!

"It would be strange if it wasn't top-notch. The father of this monster egg is one of the three great dragon kings of the dragon clan, the Star Dragon Augustus! This Longgu Kaiwu is worthy of being the protagonist. He's really lucky!"

Wan Xing murmured jealously, then twisted his lips and let out a professional villain laugh: "Hehehe... You have a great opportunity, but it's a pity that it will be mine in the next second!"

After saying that, he immediately got up impatiently and set off with the little maid Luo Ai'er and the butler. He didn't even have time to wait until the next daybreak, for fear that if he was too late, the monster egg would be discovered in advance by the Son of Luck!

an hour later,

Wanxing returned to the luxurious dormitory with a gray Warcraft egg the size of a basketball in his hand.

Thanks to his foresight, the process of buying eggs went very smoothly.

First of all, there are only three shops selling Warcraft eggs in the south of Russell City, which greatly narrows the scope of Wanxing's search.

Secondly, although he went there at night and two shops were already closed, Russell City was within the territory of Duke Russell. The late-night visit of the Duke's son was a godsend for the merchants in the city - it was the best advertisement, just like some century-old shops in Wanxing's previous life would advertise [Emperor So-and-so had eaten here]!

So the two shops opened their doors wide on the spot, and the owners welcomed them with smiles.

Finally, the crucial factor was the [Analysis and Identification Power]. Wanxing gathered the monster eggs from the three shops together, and with a single analysis and identification, he found the one he wanted. The entire selection process was effortless, with most of the time spent on the journey.

After returning to the luxurious dormitory, Wanxing took out the magic crystal and magic array disk needed to sign the familiar contract from the storage ring. After the Warcraft egg was taken out of the Warcraft nest, it was difficult for it to hatch without the mother's incubation. The function of this magic array was to provide the mother environment required for the hatching of the Warcraft egg and cultivate a sense of closeness to facilitate the signing of the contract.

Ordinary students can only borrow the school's magic array disks during class, organized by teachers. Of course, they still have to pay for the magic crystals themselves.

The wealthy Wan Xing didn't need to go through so much trouble. He simply placed the gray monster egg in his hand on the center of the magic circle, then inserted the magic crystal stone at the source of the circle and began to recite the spell of the familiar contract:

"My name is Wanxing Russell, sacred, beautiful, and powerful familiar. I sincerely invite you to sign a contract with me and become my exclusive familiar. Now, I will use my blood as a divine pattern to bless you and let you fight for me..."
