Anna thought, this is probably the gap from heaven to hell.
She really wanted to find a place to vent her sadness, anger, and fear alone... But the devil was right in front of her, and she couldn't let the other party discover her abnormality.
Her ability to deal with this devil is based on the premise that he doesn't know that she can see through him. As long as he knows that she has seen through him, no matter what he says or does, she will not be deceived by him. I'm afraid he will ignore it. Rules.
And the rules he must abide by are the guarantee for her to survive.
Anna's frightened expression was forcefully distorted into surprise. She knew her expression was unnatural, but this was the limit of what she could do.
"Good day, noble lord!"
Rotgar noticed the moment of panic when Anna first saw him. He didn't think much about it and just thought it was his sudden appearance that scared her.
He gained control of this body last night, and his body was filled with abundant elemental power. He no longer looked like a weakling like Parrish, and he was in a good mood at the moment.
Ulysses, the four-star mage and the second son of a duke, is a completely different person from Parrish. He has an excellent affinity for the element of fire, but his personality is exactly the opposite of the enthusiasm represented by "fire". He is arrogant and cold. In the past, He focuses on improving his spiritual power and practicing magic, and rarely interacts with women.
Therefore, Lotgar could not get help in winning the favor of women from the memory of Ulysses. But he believed that since Anna had chosen Ulysses as her target, he didn't need much rhetoric.
Thinking that Anna's matter could be settled today, Rotgar was in a very good mood, and his expression softened slightly when he looked at Anna: "Do you want to be my student?"
I want to be a student of a genius archmage, not a vicious devil like you!
Anna endured the word "don't want to" and said with surprise: "Yes!"
Yesterday, Anna thought that this demon did not show up because he was afraid of the four-star mage. Now she knew that she was terribly wrong.
Not only is this demon not afraid of the four-star mage, it can also possess him directly. Just like that, she can be sure that he is much more powerful than the four-star mage.
She used to think that this demon was a minion among demons, but now it seems that is not the case at all! He must have been nearby last night and heard her conversation with the real Ulysses, and then snatched Ulysses' body.
But Anna quickly put back her scattered thoughts.
Even though this demon is so powerful, it is still bound by the rules. It can be seen that the rules are powerful, and she should actually feel more at ease.
Rotgar said: "I can accept you, provided you agree to marry me. This is your only chance, I will leave tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ana, waiting for her to agree ecstatically.
Ulysses was different from Parrish in that he would leave after recovering from his injuries. This human woman had no more opportunities and she had to make a decision.
Besides agreeing, how could she possibly have any other answer
Parrish is a playboy, and Anna must find ways to win his sincerity, but Ulysses is not. If she misses it, she really misses it. Rotgar knows that she is a smart person and will not make mistakes in this kind of thing.
Anna was not surprised at all when the devil borrowed Ulysses' words.
He is determined to harvest her soul.
Anna knew that she could not refuse too obviously. After listening to the devil's words, she was surprised for a while and hesitated for a while. After being "tangled" for a long time, she said: "Honorable Sir, I really want to be your student... but I can't marry." Here you go. I am just an ordinary maid, not worthy of your noble status."
Hearing Anna's refusal, Rotgar frowned.
Where is her cleverness and cunning? Still didn't hear clearly that he is leaving tomorrow
"Do you really think so?" Rotgar did not bother to call on Ulysses' memory. Ulysses' extremely lack of experience could not help at this time. He stared at Anna closely and spoke in a serious tone. "I will leave tomorrow. You will never encounter such an opportunity again."
Anna thought to herself that if he really left tomorrow, she would worship him every day and thank him for not killing.
But now, she could only use the best acting skills in her life to show her reluctance, but in the end she said firmly: "Dear Sir, although I am very sorry that I can't be your student, I really can't promise you, Let your reputation be tarnished.”
Only then was Rotgar finally convinced that Anna had not misunderstood anything. When he thought he understood her thoughts well enough, her response still exceeded his expectations.
What is her purpose
He saw with his own eyes that she gave up Parrish and came closer to please Ulysses, but when he became Ulysses to meet her "expectations", what he got was not the answer he wanted.
Could it be that when she approached Ulysses, she really just wanted to be his student
Rotgar didn't want to admit it, but the fact was that he couldn't understand Anna's choice.
He stared at Anna with a gloomy face and sneered: "Don't regret it."
Then he left Anna and turned around to leave.
Seeing that the devil was gone, Anna's stiff body gradually relaxed.
She walked back with the food box, feeling a little depressed in her heart.
She was really happy for nothing, she had to continue to deal with that devil.
As for what he said about leaving tomorrow so that she wouldn't regret it, it went in her left ear and out the right ear. It would be strange if he left!
Parrish's lunch was still sent by Anna. His condition was better than when he had breakfast. He could already sit down and eat. Moreover, he didn't seem to recognize Anna anymore - because he finally noticed Anna and asked her name.
Anna said her name respectfully, and Parrish raised a weak but bright smile and praised: "What a good name, my dear. Your smile is like the radiance of the goddess of light, holy and beautiful, I can I really like your smile.”
Anna smiled: "Thank you, Master Parrish, for your compliment. I'm very honored."
She found that although they were similar words, Parrish himself said them much more sincerely and very pleasantly. However, when they came out of the devil's mouth, they always made people feel like he was praising a person at any time. Stab someone with a sword.
Parrish didn't say much and asked Anna to pack up and go back after the meal.
He doesn't remember anything about the time he was possessed by the demon. But Waldo said that he had been ill two days before, and that Father Louis had come and cured him. He thought that his illness might have caused him to lose some of his memory. Anyway, it was just a few days ago, and nothing major happened after asking Waldo, so he didn't care.
Anna thought about Parrish's performance on the way back and felt relieved.
After confirming that the demon left Parrish's body, she was very worried about the related sequelae - such as Parrish still remembering the demon and remembering that the demon acted very special to her, so he handed her over to the church.
If Father Louis couldn't cure the devil, couldn't he cure her
If the church knew that the devil was special to her, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even with ten mouths. She was worried that she would be treated as a witch or something and burned at the stake!
Now it seems that Parrish neither remembers what happened when the demon possessed him nor has any intention of getting rid of her, so she can feel relieved.
As Anna neared the kitchen, she found her plastic friends waiting for her.
They seemed a little uneasy. Although they didn't speak to each other, their eyes occasionally evaded when they looked at each other.
Seeing Anna, the three of them shrank. Fiona gritted her teeth and walked over first, and the other two quickly followed.
"Ana, you're not angry with us, are you?" Fiona hesitated for a moment, then asked.
The three of them struggled all morning before they plucked up the courage to come to her.
"No." Anna smiled and shook her head, "I guessed what happened yesterday."
Hearing this, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said, "It scared me to death. I knew you were very smart, Anna, and you could guess the reason."
Of course, Anna would not fully show her true self in front of the three of them, but she could not act all the time, and she would always show a little bit in her words and deeds. She reacts quickly and thinks quickly. She can always follow their topics easily, and even a strict teacher like Rebecca would praise her for learning. They have already unknowingly impressed the impression that she is very smart in their minds.
Kelly also looked frightened: "Anna, you don't even know how scary Master Parrish was at that time..."
Anna thought to herself, why didn’t she know? She couldn’t know better...
"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble." Anna apologized.
"You don't blame us for obeying Master Parrish's orders and bullying you." Fiona shook her head. Her eyes were a little blue and black, and it was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night. "Then you... then you saw Master Parrish." ?"
Abigail and Kelly both looked at Anna, obviously eager to hear the answer.
"I saw it." Anna nodded, "He already knows that I have a lover, and he will probably give up in the future."
Now that the demon has left Parrish's body, she no longer has to worry about Parrish proposing at every turn, which is okay.
The three of them looked at each other, but when they heard Anna's words, they were not as excited as they had imagined.
The appearance of Master Parrish yesterday really frightened them, and even their attachment to him weakened a lot.
"It's great that Master Parrish can listen... Anna, can we come over to chat with you in the future?" Abigail asked eagerly.
Anna smiled: "Of course."
When the three of them heard this, they all relaxed visibly. They were still a little far away from Anna at first, but then they slowly gathered together.
Anna made peace with them and chatted with them as if nothing happened yesterday.
Although it is a plastic friend...but there is nothing wrong with this. If it were to be blamed, it was the devil.
Anna was at an absolute disadvantage when facing the devil, so she could only secretly pray that he would suddenly lose interest in her soul and leave. When he appeared in front of her, she couldn't even hide.
For example, when Anna brought Parrish breakfast that was close to lunch as usual, she found that at the table where the devil liked to sit two days ago, in addition to Parrish, there was also sitting the possessed Ulysses. The devil in you.
Ana paused slightly, with a deliberately surprised look on her face.
She seemed to have suppressed what she wanted to say, put out the dishes in the food box, and said to the devil apologetically: "Your Excellency, I didn't know you were here. I only prepared Master Parrish's breakfast. Please wait a moment." , I’ll prepare it for you right away.”
"No need." Rotgar stopped her.
Anna responded: "Okay, sir."
She stepped aside and waited quietly for Parrish to finish his breakfast.
Parrish smiled slightly and said to Rotgar: "There is nothing to do in Blue Stone City, but there are a few good places outside the city. Ulysses, you have to recuperate here anyway. Wait for us next time." Come on, I’ll take you to play.”
Anna's eyes were lowered, but her ears took in Parrish's words word for word.
See, she just said that this demon would never leave, so why didn't she just use the injury as an excuse to stay
Rotgar said coldly: "I won't go."
He hated Parrish's acquaintance very much. No matter in Parrish's memory or in Ulysses's memory, the two people had no contact. He just deliberately passed by here and met Parrish's enthusiastic When she invited him to come in and sit down, Parrish showed an inexplicable familiarity.
Really more annoying than Balaam.
"Hahaha, forget it if you don't go." Rotgar's refusal did not make Parrish feel any displeasure. Although this playboy has a good image and a well-off family, he always encounters a few tough situations when he talks to her a lot. , the rejection rate is not large, but the absolute number is quite a lot. He has long been used to it. He just laughed and said a few words and didn't take it to heart anymore. He smiled and said, "Are you really not going to have a breakfast? I think dear Anna will I’m more than happy to run errands for you.”
Rotgar didn't even want to respond at the moment and simply ignored Parrish's words.
Parrish didn't care, and looked in a good mood while eating breakfast.
Anna silently watched the scene in front of her, and suddenly thought that if she couldn't see the demon possessing her, then to her, this was a Shura field, and both of them had proposed to her...
Anna was quiet, and Rotgar did not speak. There was only a slight movement made by Parrish when he was eating. When he put down the knife and fork, Anna stepped forward to tidy up very consciously.
Suddenly, she felt her hair being gently grabbed by someone. When she turned her head in surprise, she saw Parrish sniffing the ends of her hair intoxicatedly, looking at her with a smile and saying, "My dear, your hair is It’s so beautiful, just like the gorgeous flowers blooming under the goddess’ throne. Whether it’s the beautiful brown-red color or the faint fragrance of mint, it’s all intoxicating.”
Anna: “…”
Goddess! Please punish this pervert!
Anna restrained herself from throwing the things she was packing on Parrish, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the demon who seemed to be watching this scene with relish, not knowing what he was exploring.
...By the way, when the devil was still possessing Parrish, she seemed to be a little bit reluctant to welcome him.
However, because she later asked Ulysses to be his student, the demon later became possessed by someone else and wanted to use her desire to become a mage to lure her into signing a contract.
If she changed too quickly, he might become suspicious, and if she continued to resist, he might return to Parrish and seduce her again.
What a dilemma.
Anna continued to lower her head to clean up the things on the table and put them back in the food box. Then she suppressed her blush and pulled back her long hair from Parrish's hand. Before she could say a few words shyly, Parrish unexpectedly Shi held her hand in his hand with a charming smile: "My dear, are you shy? Please don't be shy. My praise for you is heartfelt and true, and you deserve it."
... Crazy!
Anna withdrew her hand forcefully, gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Parrish, your compliment makes me ashamed."
Anna felt that Parrish's romantic appearance was worse than the devil who just wanted her soul! At least that devil won't do anything like this!
She bowed quickly and left, Parrish laughing behind her.
After Anna left, Parrish sniffed the hand that grabbed Anna's hair and said with emotion: "What a lovely girl. What do you think, Ulysses?"
Rotgar just silently watched Anna's reaction in his eyes. Her shyness and anger were probably all fake.
That smart and cunning human woman definitely doesn't look like this cotton-white lamb.
He sneered and hummed a syllable with unknown meaning in his nose.
