Chapter 185 Taming the Dog
E Ling quickly came to her senses, and she said to the goddess: "I am willing to help Her Highness the Goddess to stabilize the current situation. However, considering that Hermay did such a mistake because he was too emotional, and his life experience is extremely pitiful, I can give him a lighter punishment!"
"Give him a lighter punishment? There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. If people like him can be easily pitied, then who will pity the many pitiful people in the world?"
Zi Ling chuckled, and lifted her graceful chin with her slender but well-defined hands, saying, "You've been tortured by him a lot in the past, right? Shouldn't you want to kill him more than I do?"
"I..." E Ling was suddenly speechless.
Indeed, if it were in the past, she would never have felt any pity for a cold, ruthless, hateful and perverted man like Helmer. He treated human life as worthless and killed many orcs. He also organized evil beasts to burn, kill, rob and take away females, causing many families to be separated because of the loss of females. He also had such a bad temper and always tortured and humiliated her. When Eling was wronged by Helmer, she really wanted to kill him.
However, if Helmer really had to die, she would be in a dilemma and hesitate.
First of all, she had no way to explain this to Xuan Ming. After all, Xuan Ming and Helmer had been brothers for so many years. Even if they had separated now, the brotherhood of so many years could not be broken up just like that. If something happened to Helmer, Xuan Ming would be very sad.
Moreover, E Ling knew very well that the fundamental reason why Hermei became like this was the various misfortunes he experienced in his childhood. He was constantly abandoned and ignored, so he always needed to take some means to get other people's attention. Therefore, he pursued power and powerful strength. He needed a sense of control and he needed to get the attention of others.
The more he lacks something, the more he desires it. However, sometimes, the way he asks for it is not correct, and he may even resort to brutal plundering to get what he wants.
Because when he was growing up, no one ever taught him how to use correct and rational means to get what he wanted, nor did he ever receive love from this world, let alone anyone who would teach him how to love someone?
So he could only use this simple and crude method to plunder what he wanted.
He plunders supplies and females to build the power he wants, and he plunders and tries every means to control the Elings in the hope of gaining their love.
And if Xuanming had not been Helmer's brother, who had never tired of comforting, guiding and accepting him over the years, Helmer's character would have probably developed into something even more extremely gloomy. His powerful rank and his extreme character, once combined, would make him a threatening presence that could cause great destruction to the Beast World at any time.
Now, Helmer is on the verge of this emotional extreme and loss of control.
And what E Ling has to do now is to replace the role of Xuan Ming in his life, to comfort him and accept him, so as to pull Helmei back from the brink of losing control.
Otherwise, if she lets it go on like this and the situation gets out of control, she will indirectly become the culprit who brings chaos to the world.
After all, no matter what, it was because she insisted on leaving the Black Forest City that Helmer lost control.
However, E Ling did not regret the choice she made.
Firstly, she did not have the ability to predict the future and could not predict that her departure would cause such great harm to Hermei.
Secondly, she also needed to weigh the pros and cons at the time. Nagasawa's whereabouts were unknown, and she was always worried about him, so naturally she would favor Nagasawa more.
Everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices and actions.
Since a big part of the reason why Helmer became like this was because of her, she had to find a way to solve it instead of dwelling on the past and treating Helmer coldly, which would only make him more out of control.
E Ling shook her head and said, "There are many reasons to let Helmer die, but there is only one reason to let him live. Your Highness, Goddess, you don't want to have one or a group of hostile orcs in the City of Heaven, right?
Helmai's influence among the evil beasts is not low. If you want to kill Helmai, killing him alone is not enough. But if Tianzhicheng goes out to deal with the evil beasts personally, it will only lose face for your city. It is better to take this opportunity to win over Helmai and turn hostility into friendship. This will not only strengthen Tianzhicheng's power and influence, but also win a good reputation among the orcs and play a role in educating the civilians."
Zi Ling couldn't help but sneer: "You are good at talking, but some things are easy to say, but how to do them is another matter. Child, are you sure you can control Helmer and make him work for you?"
"Of course I have the confidence to say this, Your Highness, Helmer may still have some affection for me... and my partner is also Helmer's soft spot. Even if he doesn't consider me, he will have to give in a little for the sake of his friendship with my partner."
E Ling naturally knew that the goddess was testing her, so of course she had to say only nice things.
However, E Ling was a little puzzled: "Your Highness the Goddess, why me?"
"Of course it's you, and it can only be you, my good boy. You are the one I carefully selected. I want to make sure you are loyal to me. As long as you obey me, the Hermione who is convinced by you will naturally be a force that I can use."
The goddess' tone seemed a little excited, and the smile on her face was meaningful. For a moment, it was impossible to tell what she was planning.
E'ling felt a little strange, but at this time the goddess had already pulled E'ling up.
She took E Ling outside and whispered in her ear in an almost bewitching tone: "Good child, now is the time for you to express your loyalty to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, wisps of divine power flowed out from the fingertips of the goddess Zi Ling, tightly wrapping around E Ling's body, and E Ling felt instantly unable to move.
Zi Ling took off the silver hairpin on her head and pressed the pointed end against E Ling's neck.
E Ling looked at her in astonishment: "What are you going to do?!"
"Good boy, don't be anxious. I am helping you tame this disobedient dog, Hermione."
Zi Ling had a gentle smile on her face that made E Ling feel sick. She pressed harder and harder against her neck, and a clear mark of blood instantly appeared on E Ling's snow-white neck.
Yin Chen, who had walked out with Goddess Zi Ling and E Ling, also rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, Goddess, if you want to deal with Helma, there are many ways, why do you have to do this? E Ling is also an extremely rare female, please let her go!"
"Shh..." Zi Ling put her hand on her red lips and raised her eyebrows to signal Yin Chen to shut up. "This is the only way that is most effective."
When some warriors saw the goddess Zi Ling coming out, they surrounded her to make sure whether she was injured by Helmai.
Not far away, Helmei, who was fighting with the Divine Bird King, seemed to have heard Eling's name. He almost subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, but saw the scene of Eling being held hostage.
Helmei's eyes turned red instantly, and he changed angle and flew towards E Ling rapidly.
But the Bird King seized the opportunity and pecked at Hermei's back with his hard beak mercilessly, tearing off a large piece of bloody flesh from Hermei.
