□□Rotgar saw Anna, and the dark clouds weighing on his heart finally dissipated.
He woke up a day ago and found himself in Balan's castle, but did not see Anna beside him. He recalled that he couldn't bear it and passed out shortly after leaving the abyss. At that moment, he thought Anna had abandoned him and ran away.
But then Balaam told him that there were intruders in his castle, and Anna stayed to stop them in order to protect him from leaving. Later, Balan chased Anna to the human world, but the human world mages came prepared and he failed to rescue Anna.
Rotgar's injuries in the abyss did not heal so quickly, but after hearing Balan's words, he couldn't wait to recover from his injuries before going to save Anna.
He knows very well what human beings are like. He knew how kind, beautiful and precious Anna was, but those humans would only see her protecting him and hurt her.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Before coming to the human world and finding a way to get here through constant possession, Rotgar did not dare to let himself think too much.
What will happen to a human who helps the devil in the hands of the Holy See
He didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.
If something happens to Anna, he will not let the Holy See go, nor will he make things easier for the human world.
At this time, he understood a little bit the pain of Balaam losing Catherine, and he had not lost Anna yet, but the possibility was unbearable for him.
At this moment, Anna was in front of him. Lotgar couldn't wait to hug her, but he restrained himself.
The teleportation array can only be used near the line of life and death, and he is still injured. If he shows up to take Anna away at this moment, he will not be able to run very far before he will be intercepted by the many five-star mages here.
If he were alone, he wouldn't mind and would even be happy to fight with them, but he couldn't put Anna in danger.
Therefore, he just showed up to let Anna see him coming, and said: "Your Excellency Victor, Bishop Conrad's discussion has come to a conclusion."
When Victor heard the words of the priest behind him, he knew that he should go back, but he had already said it here. He didn't want to go back in vain, so he raised his hand and said that he understood, looked at Anna and said: "Master Anna, Please tell me briefly the doubts you have discovered."
Anna regarded her ability to see through Lotgar's possession as an advantage against the human world mage. She would never allow this to cause trouble to Lotgar, so she immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at the solemn-looking Saint. son.
She looked thoughtful and astonished: "There is indeed one thing that makes me feel strange... When you were possessed, he once asked me to touch your hair."
Touch your hair
Victor's expression suddenly relaxed, which was already lighter than he expected.
The worries of the past few months were finally put aside.
Because Bishop Conrad was in a hurry, he couldn't stay here any longer, so he nodded to Anna and left immediately.
Anna suddenly raised her voice and asked: "Your Majesty the Holy Son, if the result of Bishop Conrad's discussion is that they used me as bait to make the devil fall into a trap, can you please inform me?"
Victor paused, looked a little hesitant, and then said: "I believe there will be times when I ask you to help me. You can ask yourself then."
"Okay, I understand." Anna nodded and responded without being entangled. The purpose of her request was just to tell Rotgar openly that the mages were trying to catch him and he had to be more careful.
Victor left and the door slowly closed. Anna looked inside the door and outside the door. She didn't look back until Lotgar could no longer be seen.
After seeing Lotgar and learning that he had woken up from a coma, her first reaction was naturally one of joy. But then she couldn't help but worry that the more dangerous person now was not her, but Rotgar.
Rotgar had already told her the approximate strength values of each level. He was only 150 in the human world. Against so many 160 five-star mages, although the values could not be fully calculated, the difference in strength was too big. How could he survive?
She won't die here for a while. If he is caught, he will be filled into the devil's eyes according to Conrad's vision.
On the contrary, she didn't want him to save her.
On the other side, when Victor returned to the hall, the discussion here had indeed come to an end. He was here on behalf of the Pope. Even if he was not brought along in the previous discussion, he should still be present to attend the discussion.
Seeing Victor arriving, Bishop Conrad began to explain the results of the discussion.
But Rotgar, wearing the shell of an ordinary priest, followed Victor in grandly, stood aside and listened, and no one noticed the existence of this devil.
"According to the original plan, we will first use Anna as bait to capture the devil. According to Grand Duke Lecheri, Grand Duke Hubiris is not tired of Anna yet, and he will come and take his belongings back." Bishop Conrad said, "Grand Duke Hubiris has the ability to possess people. If anyone behaves differently than before, he must be controlled in time. If someone says they have lost their memory for a period of time, it must be him who got in."
All the mages present took these words to heart, but Rotgar sneered in his heart. How could he let them see the flaw in the possession this time? He didn't hide it before, it was just that he didn't want to bother.
Bishop Conrad continued: "If filling the devil's eye with demons cannot stop the expansion of the devil's eye, then accept Anna's proposal and send her in."
Rotgar suddenly frowned.
It was as if he hadn't heard the first half of Conrad's words. If they wanted to use him for anything, they had to capture him alive first.
But the second half of Conrad's sentence made him puzzled and angry.
When humans named a place Devil's Eye, we knew it wasn't a good place. They actually wanted to send Anna into it? Moreover, this is Anna's own proposal
What's going on
Rotgar wanted to go to Anna and ask for details, but he couldn't be impulsive now.
He could only hatefully sentence everyone present to death.
After hearing Bishop Conrad's words, the others had different expressions, but no one raised any objections. After all, this was the result of their collective discussion.
Then they continued to discuss how to arrange it so that the devil would never come back.
And Rotgar listened to all this word for word.
After listening for a while, Rotgar gathered all the scattered information and understood the reason.
There is a different space in the line of life and death that is similar to the abyss, and the information "similar to the abyss" was told to them by Anna. Anna also told them that she brought out the abyss tree fruit from the abyss, which she thought was the same as the abyss. Pretty much what a demon eye needs.
Anna didn't tell him about the abyss tree fruit and the hallucination.
Anna would not know what it meant to enter the devil's eye alone, which was similar to the abyss, but she still took the initiative to make this suggestion. Obviously if she didn't tell anyone, no one would know about the Abyss Tree Fruit and the hallucinations she experienced in the Abyss.
Lotgar laughed in anger.
OK! very nice! Anna knew what would happen if she entered the devil's eyes, but she still planned to do it, without even thinking of asking him!
What does she want to do? In order to save the entire human world, she even risked her life? Did she ever think about him
Did she already know something when she came out of the abyss, and was she ready to sacrifice herself? Did she leave him voluntarily and be brought back voluntarily
For a moment, Rotgar wanted to ask Anna desperately, what did she think of him, a tool to help her improve her strength? Is the shyness she shows and the love in her eyes and movements all fake
Don't even think about doing that to him!
If she dared to die for the human world, he would dare to make all her efforts go to waste.
He had only come to the human world occasionally in the past, and had no interest in conquering this human world that made him uncomfortable. However, it was much easier to destroy than to conquer. She could definitely try to see how far he could go. Even if it's difficult for him to do it alone, he doesn't mind looking for Aosta, Aigui, and Bailey. If there are benefits, they will be willing to participate.
It took Lotgar a great deal of willpower to control this rage.
He wouldn't allow Anna to not put him first.
Anna was a little uneasy in the room. She was really worried that Rotgar's easily angered character would be exposed soon.
I hope her reminder just now will be of some use, and I hope he will be more cautious.
She was also seriously thinking about what else she could do. It was too difficult for Rotgar to return without success, but it was even more difficult for him to take her away from under the noses of so many five-star mages.
I don't know how long it took, but Anna heard some voices coming from outside the door. As soon as she stood up, the door was opened.
Rotgar walked in.
He still used the body of the previous priest and closed the door after entering. The two priests outside only thought that he came under Bishop Conrad's order, and because there were no spells in the room, they didn't pay much attention.
"How did you..." Anna lowered her voice, and then she noticed that Rotgar's face was very ugly, and he seemed to be suppressing anger.
Rotgar walked up to Anna step by step. If the priest's body was not still useful, he would leave this body now and kiss Anna fiercely, causing her pain and letting her feel his anger firsthand.
"Anna, who do you think I am?" Rotgar stopped an arm's length away from Anna and looked at her coldly, "A tool to help you improve your strength?"
Ana was stunned and quickly shook her head: "No. I may have thought that way before, but not now."
"Then tell me, what am I to you?" Rotgar asked with a cold face.
What kind of
Anna didn't want to talk to Rotgar about this now. She said: "There are so many five-star mages outside. It's too dangerous for you to come here! You should leave here before they find out. At least with Balan..."
Before Anna could finish her words, Rotgar squeezed her wrist tightly. She felt pain and met Rotgar's cold gaze.
"answer my question!"
Ana pursed her lips and looked at him.
Rotgar sneered: "Are you unwilling to say yes? Are you afraid that telling the truth will anger me?"
Anna shook her head: "No. I just..."
Just what
She previously believed that she was not qualified to fall in love before helping Natalie get revenge. But not long ago, she realized that she had no one to take revenge on, and the feeling of powerlessness almost swallowed her up.
But now, she found that she seemed to be able to save the world, and that feeling of powerlessness finally dissipated.
She couldn't do anything for Natalie, so she could at least do something for this lovely human world, right
"I just don't think it's necessary to say it. You're going to die anyway, right?" Rotgar took over Anna's words, his eyes burning like flames, but with a smile on his lips, "Anna, don't even think about dying behind my back. .Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, don’t think that the human world you saved will be safe. If you treat me like this, I don’t know what I will do to the human world you have worked so hard to save.”
Anna looked at Rotgar who threatened her so angrily, but explained seriously: "I don't want to die." She raised her palms, the red marks on them were so clear, "I'm just doing what I should do. .The abyss didn’t hurt me last time, and I don’t think it will this time either.”
"What if?" Rotgar was unmoved.
"Everything has risks. If you come to save me, aren't you taking the risk of being caught?" Anna said and smiled, "Rotgar, let me do it. I promise, after this, I will answer your questions well."
Natalie's death remains a knot in Anna's mind. After suddenly realizing the powerlessness of having no revenge, she struggled with pain for a long time until she realized that she, the time traveler, was not completely useless. Just like fate, she shouldered the responsibility of being a "hero".
Natalie's death was an accident caused by so many events, and it is hard to say that it was not an accident that she would become the "savior". If she was in the abyss, followed the hallucination, and threw the fruit off the cliff, then she might have saved the human world without even knowing it. But she didn't lose it, so she ended up in the situation she is in now.
It was an accident that Rotgar planted the tree for her, and it was an accident that she planted the tree after hearing Natalie's words in the hallucination, which was an extension of Natalie's death. If Natalie had not died, she would not have had an emotional breakdown after learning that there was no revenge, nor would she have obediently planted the abyss tree seeds in a daze, thus knowing that the abyss tree seeds can really grow and bear fruit. The fruit of the abyss tree seems to have miraculous effects.
If it were another illusion, the fruit of the abyss tree would not appear.
The world is a complex system, and any small change may lead to very significant results. The world is full of randomness, how can she be responsible for all accidents
She will continue to walk with the memory of Natalie. Even if she does not believe in the existence of God, she is still willing to pray devoutly to the unknown existence that allowed her to travel to this world, hoping that Natalie can travel to another world and live a happy life. Live a freer life.
But all this happened after she returned the abyss tree fruit.
"Impossible!" Rotgar still refused. How could he let Anna do such a dangerous thing? No matter how much she begged him, he would never agree.
Anna looked at Rotgar and sighed slightly in her heart.
It is very difficult to convince Lotgar, and this is definitely not a good time to do so.
"Have you already thought about how to save me?" Anna said, "Let's talk after we leave here. This is not a suitable place for talking."
Rotgar exhaled slightly, suppressing the almost uncontrollable annoyance and anger.
He knew that Anna was right, now was not the time to talk about this kind of topic, in fact, it was very unwise for him to barge in like this.
Therefore, he also did not dwell on this issue anymore, but planned to take Anna away first.
And when he takes her away, even if he can't change her mind, she won't even think about doing that stupid thing!
"Come with me."
As Rotgar said this, he put the bracelet that bound the magic circle on Anna and tied her hands behind her back. The priest he possessed was considered one of Bishop Conrad's confidants, so it was not difficult to take Anna out of the room in the name of Bishop Conrad.
The difficult thing is how to take Anna away completely, because those five-star mages are indeed very difficult to deal with.
Rotgar glanced at Anna. He already had an idea, but he couldn't tell Anna. He was almost certain that she would object strongly.
Rotgar took Anna out of the room in the name of Bishop Conrad.
The two priests followed.
Rotgar didn't care, they couldn't let him just take Anna away.
The building behind the church usually seemed very quiet, but Rotgar knew that as soon as he showed up, many five-star mages would stop him from leaving.
But why did he show up and take Anna away
Walking forward to a location covered by a wall, Lotgar suddenly turned around, grabbed one of the priests' necks with one hand, and stabbed the other priest's neck with a dagger in his other hand.
These two priests were only one- and two-star priests, and they were not prepared for the attack from their companions. The priest who was stabbed in the neck died on the spot. The other priest just recovered from the shock and wanted to use a spell to fight back. Lotgar, however, had already stabbed his dagger stained with the blood of his companion into his neck.
When Anna noticed something was wrong behind her and turned around, she only saw two priests lying in a pool of blood.
"Rotgar, you..." Anna didn't expect Rotgar to suddenly make a move, and was a little surprised when she saw him quickly untying her restraints and tearing off the bracelet that restricted her mental power.
Then he came out of the priest's body, stabbed the unconscious priest's throat with his backhand sword, stepped forward and hugged Anna.
Rotgar's series of actions were so fast that Anna was hugged by him before she could react, and she also smelled the bloody smell on his body.
An uneasy feeling came over her, and just as Anna was about to push Rotgar away, she felt that her vision gradually blurred, and she quickly lost consciousness.
If anyone else is around, they will see Rotgar's body holding Anna gradually disappear, and finally merge with Anna.
This was the first time that Lotgar possessed a woman, and it was the woman he loved. This feeling was very novel.
He was a little lucky that he didn't forcefully possess Anna when she said she didn't want him to possess her, otherwise he wouldn't be able to possess Anna today.
According to Lotgar's plan, after possessing Anna, he would completely disguise himself as Anna, and after killing all these priests, no one would know that he had possessed a priest.
Then, they wouldn't know that he had arrived and possessed Anna.
As for why "Anna", who had been very cooperative before, killed these priests and wanted to escape, it depends on what "Anna" said.
After Rotgar possessed him, he wanted to pick up the dagger on the ground, but at that moment, he was stunned because of the memories he saw belonging to Anna.
What were those... what he saw
After Rotgar was possessed in the past, he could always see some memories of the possessed person, and those memories were usually intermittent, but they were enough for him to piece together a rough past of that person.
But this time when he possessed Anna, he also saw Anna's memory.
Anna was just an ordinary slum girl before she met him, and he was involved in the past after meeting him. He originally thought that he would not see memories that would surprise him.
But what are those weird scenes that appear now
Those exquisite tall buildings, those carriages that can move without horses, those iron birds flying in the sky filled with humans, those small square boxes that move and make sounds...
What is all this about? Anna's fantasy? But her fantasy, logically speaking, should not become a memory that he can see.
Rotgar recalled that day, when he told Anna that he could see the memories of possessed people, she seemed very interested in trying the feeling of being possessed and she immediately refused without hesitation.
She had memories that she wanted to hide, and what he saw now was what she once wanted to hide.
But... what exactly are these memories
Rotgar knew that nowhere in this world was as Anna remembered it, but these memories were real...
He remembered again that he initially thought Anna was as vain and greedy as any human woman in this world, but then he gradually discovered that she was not who he thought she was. She learns things incredibly quickly and behaves like an ignorant slum girl.
Everything in the past was vivid in his mind, and Rotgar suddenly understood that Anna might be from another world.
In her strange memories, he even saw a legendary story about a devil signing a contract in order to obtain a human soul, which also explained why she initially thought he wanted her soul when she saw through him. In this world, there are no such legends.
Rotgar slowly picked up the dagger. Although he was surprised by the unexpected discovery of possession this time, that was all.
So what if Anna comes from another world? She was his, she couldn't think of abandoning him and dying to save someone else, it didn't matter which world she came from.
Lotgar took the dagger, wiped off the blood on the dead priest's clothes, then chose a direction and walked forward.
He was not used to using a woman's body, it was a little awkward when he walked, and his chest was a little heavy. Although he had looked at Anna's body carefully, it was certainly not the same thing when it came to actual use.
He had to think back to Anna's posture in his memory and adjust slowly.
At least when those five-star mages appeared in front of him, they who were not familiar with Anna should not be able to tell that the person in front of them was not the real Anna.
