Afterwards, Lotgar finished his lunch quietly. Because he was still feeling a little uncomfortable, he did not finish eating this time. After Anna packed up and left, he looked down through the glass window and did not look back until she was out of his sight.
Now he is really looking forward to Anna taking action on the mage, so that he can change his body accordingly, because this body has no affinity with natural elements and is disgustingly weak, while the mage's body is barely passable.
Anna walked tremblingly when she left. She always felt that the devil had been staring at her, and his malicious gaze was about to poke a hole in her body.
However, after this "sickness" incident, her fear of this devil has decreased.
After demons possess ordinary humans, they still get sick! And he doesn’t seem to be able to do anything about the disease! God, this is too weak! It can be seen that the devil is strictly bound by rules. As long as she does not meet certain rules, he cannot do anything to her.
Of course, a demon who can possess him is stronger than an ordinary person like her who has no power to restrain a chicken. She doesn't have to be so afraid of him, but she can't despise him, otherwise she won't know how she died.
There were times when his murderous intention was so strong that she thought he might have the ability to circumvent the rules, but the cost might be higher. As long as he felt there was still hope of harvesting her soul within the rules, he would not break the rules easily.
Therefore, she must master a certain degree of control. While clearly rejecting his proposal, she must also give him some hope to prevent him from overturning the card table.
Thinking about it this way, Anna felt like she was a scumbag who used people as backup.
But since the demon is not human, it's okay.
The three Abigails were very concerned about Parrish's health. During the afternoon break, they came over again, wanting to find out more from Anna.
Anna told them that Master Parrish was fine, and casually mentioned that she had met the mage, successfully changing the topic to the mage.
"That noble lord looks very majestic. I wonder if we have a chance to become mages?" Anna said with emotion.
Although the three of them wanted to please Anna, they couldn't help laughing when they heard her ignorant words.
Fiona smiled and looked at Anna and said, "We are just commoners, how can we become noble mages?"
"Anna, don't you want to become a noble? But if you want to become a mage and thus become a noble, you might as well think about marrying a noble..." Abigail's tone contained a bit of sharp sarcasm, but she suddenly realized something. , quickly added, "Of course, if you have a lover, you definitely don't want to marry a noble."
She didn't want Anna to think about marrying a nobleman, otherwise Master Parrish would definitely be the first choice!
"Yes, I am loyal to my lover." Anna casually expressed her infatuation and continued the topic, "Don't you ever think about becoming a noble noble? If people don't have dreams, then they have nothing to do with salted fish. What's the difference? I want to become a noble with my lover, so I want to know if there is a way."
What Abigail said about becoming a noble by becoming a mage made Anna very excited. She wants to have power and status!
After hearing Anna's words, the three of them looked at each other and stopped laughing in unison.
Become a noble
Who among the common people doesn't want to be born into a noble family? But they don't have noble blood, and they don't have the natural element affinity given by the goddess. They are not even men who can be appreciated by big shots and make achievements, and there is no way to become nobles.
Being the lover of a noble is the best destination for them in this life.
After a long silence, Kelly said thoughtfully: "Although it is very rare, it seems that civilians can also become mages. We don't have them in Blue Stone City, but I heard that there are in Green Pine City. And, Anna, you want to become a respected person, In addition to being a mage, you can also become a priest."
"Pastor? Is he like Father Louis?" Anna's heart moved and she quickly asked.
There are some very scattered words in the original memory, which cannot be combined into systematic knowledge. Holy See, Pope, Bishop, Priest, Reverend... She had these words in her mind, but she didn't know what they specifically referred to.
"If you are the body of holy light most favored by the goddess, you can enter the church as an apprentice and later become a priest. Father Louis is also a priest, and our Blue Stone City church is presided over by him." Kelly said, because she works as a priest in the Earl's Mansion. Having been a maid for several years, she knows a lot of things that ordinary people would never know.
Abigail, who originally laughed at Anna's idea, then said: "If you are a natural element affinity body, then you can go to the Mage Association to study. After becoming a one-star mage, you can become a baron."
Fiona curled her lips. Anna's words about becoming a noble aroused the unhappiness in her heart. She said angrily: "But do you have five gold coins?"
Abigail and Kelly stopped talking when they heard Fiona's words.
"Five gold coins?" Anna asked doubtfully. Her current salary is ten silver coins a month. Even if she could save all of it, it would take more than four years to save up.
The salaries of Abigail and the other three are slightly higher than hers, and it would take nearly four years to save enough money.
Fiona sneered and said: "If you want to know whether you are a body of holy light or a body with natural element affinity, you must go to the church or the Mage Association for testing. Each test requires five gold coins."
She seems to be a little happy that can dampen Anna's unrealistic dreams, but she also seems to be sad and resentful about this fact, and her emotions are a bit complicated.
Ana pursed her lips. If this was the case, she would not think about it in the past few years.
Speaking of which, with that devil watching eagerly from the side, she didn't know if she could survive these few years. She didn't know when the demon would lose patience. She desperately wanted to become a mage and gain the power to compete with the demon.
"Besides paying five gold coins for testing, is there no other way?" Anna asked reluctantly, "Maybe I can learn it myself?"
"Are you literate?" Fiona raised her chin with a sarcastic expression, "Even if you are literate, where do you find precious books? I heard that a book like that costs more than ten gold coins!"
Although Anna is a college student in her own world, here she is indeed illiterate.
The literacy rate in this world is very low, and even a small number of nobles are illiterate, let alone common people. And the language used here is not English. Anna still relies on her original memory to talk to people without any problems.
Therefore, even if a magic book is placed in front of her, she can only look at it anxiously.
Seeing that Anna was looking down, Kelly quickly pulled Fiona and said to Anna: "Actually, there is no chance! The goddess loves the world, and every five years, a priest will come to select the Holy Light Body. The most pious People can get a chance to test!”
"Who is the most religious person?" Anna asked.
Kelly was stunned and said uncertainly: "The goddess will send an oracle."
Fuck the Goddess Oracle!
Anna looked at the sky. It was very bright, and there was no sign of divine punishment at all.
Even her behavior of scolding the goddess is not punished, which shows that the goddess either does not exist, or exists but is not so omnipotent, or she does not care about such trivial matters. The selection of Holy Light Body every five years is obviously just a trivial matter.
In other words, the standards are likely to be set by the clergy, and as an atheist, in this world with magic, she might be singled out by some strange spell at the beginning.
Anna asked without any hope: "When will the priest come next?"
Kelly said: "The last priest came last year, and we have to wait four years."
Anna sighed in her heart.
Four years, then she might as well save five gold coins.
But before that, the demon might kill her, and she wouldn't be willing to wait that long. The devil's temper looked bad, and she doubted that he could even wait three months.
"If you are very confident in yourself, you can borrow money from others to go to the church for testing." Fiona looked at Anna and suddenly said, "Once it is tested that you are the Holy Light Body, the church will return five gold coins to you. Of course. , if it is detected that you are not, then these five gold coins will be gone."
Anna looked at Fiona and smiled: "Thank you, I will consider it."
It seems that the five gold coins in the church are to block the common people. If the test is free, the common people will probably want to test it, and the church will be more lively than the vegetable market.
As for the five gold coins from the Mage Association, there is no need to pay them back. The magic book costs ten gold coins, so it can be seen that only the rich and nobles can afford it. If you can't even afford the five gold coins for the test, what will you do with the gold coins you need to learn the advanced level in the future? If you don’t have money, there is no need to take the test in the first place.
For the impoverished Anna, all paths to becoming a mage or priest were blocked.
And this is the desperate situation faced by all civilians in this world.
Anna looked at the three Abigails, and they all seemed to be in a bad mood.
The gap between rich and poor and the solidification of classes.
They may not understand these words, but they are living it, and they are desperate for it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Anna smiled and changed the subject, "Master Parrish is sick, don't you want to go visit him?"
Upon hearing Parrish's name, the three people's eyes lit up and their spirits instantly recovered.
Fiona said dissatisfied: "You know that Master Parrish is very affectionate to you, but you don't even look at us."
Speaking of this, Abigail and Kelly also echoed angrily: "Yes, yes!"
Anna thought to herself, if he really looks at you, you will be in trouble.
She said: "Master Parrish always dines on the balcony, and you can see him downstairs."
When the three of them heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were already thinking about how they could get under Master Parrish's nose to attract his attention during the next meal time.
The butler fined them money because they fell in front of him, but he didn't say they couldn't fall while playing by themselves!
The three of Abigail's jobs are mainly to take care of the small garden. They are not too busy usually, so they always come to Anna's place when they have free time. Later, when Anna was informed that she would go home a little later today, the three of them happened to be there.
Anna's original working hours were until seven o'clock in the evening, but because Waldo came and asked Anna to bring the dinner, she could only work a little overtime.
After learning that Anna was going to deliver food to Master Parrish in the evening, Abigail and the other two went there first. Their work has been completed and they don't have to go home. Even if they are asked why they are still in the small garden at this time, it can be said that some work has not been completed.
Looking out from the small building where Master Parrish lives, one can clearly see the scene in the small garden.
The three of them didn't dare to make too much noise. They were playing quietly in the bright place like butterflies in flowers. They knew that Anna was about to deliver the meal, and at this time the affectionate Master Parrish would definitely look over from the balcony and take notice of the three of them.
So, one moment Abigail accidentally fell on Kelly, the next moment Fiona accidentally fell on Kelly, and the next moment Kelly accidentally fell on the ground...
In the small building at this time, Rotgar was indeed looking outside. After discovering that the maids were the three people who had bullied Anna, he took a second look.
In the past two days, there was nothing unusual about Anna in front of him. The bullying he expected from the three maids did not seem to happen. He knew that the human woman must have been too cunning to resolve the difficulty.
The noise outside was really noisy. Rotgar suddenly got up and went downstairs, and asked Waldo who was following him not to follow.
When Abigail and the other three saw Master Parrish walking under the moonlight, they were almost trembling with excitement. Did their plan really work
So, who will be the lucky one
"How did Anna convince you?" Rotgar asked coldly.
The three of them couldn't see the devil under Parrish's skin, but they could feel the coldness coming from the young master they admired, which made them tremble in fear and kneel down quickly.
They vaguely felt that there was something different about Master Parrish that was particularly scary, but they didn't think about it deeply.
"Abigail, tell me." Rotgar still remembered Abigail's name and asked her directly.
When her name was called, Abigail said tremblingly: "Master Parrish, I was wrong!"
Rotgar turned cold and said impatiently: "Let me ask you, how did Anna convince you to let her go?"
Abigail hurriedly defended herself: "Since that day, we have become good friends with Anna! We have not bullied her again!"
Rotgar was not surprised at all by what Abigail said. In his opinion, it was very easy for a smart and cunning human woman like Anna to deceive a few brainless human women.
He just remembered that the three Abigails took turns performing poorly in front of him, which happened to happen that day after they became friends.
He did not ask them if Anna taught them their stupid behavior. He believed that even if Anna taught them, they would not realize it.
So why did the woman do that
Rotgar stood quietly. He did not speak. Abigail and the other three did not dare to move or even say a word.
The night wind blew slowly, and Rotgar saw the woman he was thinking about slowly approaching in the night.
On the other side, Ulysses Russell was also strolling over.
"Abigail, the three of you go stop Anna now and teach her a lesson." Rotgar said.
The three of them were startled, but they heard Rotgar continue to say: "If you don't do well, you will leave the Earl's Mansion tonight."
There was a buzz in the minds of the three of them. They didn't care about flattery, friendship or the young master. They got up on their hands and feet and walked quickly towards Anna.
Rotgar slowly took two steps to the side and hid in the shadows.
He didn't want this body anymore, so he just went with the flow and created an opportunity for the woman and the mage.
I hope that woman doesn't disappoint him. If you have greater ambitions, you should have more radical methods, don't take it slow like you did with Parrish.
He was waiting to receive the mage's body, and then give her a long nightmare from which she could not wake up.
