According to the development expected by Rotgar, Anna should take advantage of the situation and say that she is willing to marry him to repay him, so his patience these days will not be in vain.
But what was she talking about
Not only was she too cunning, she was also ungrateful.
"If I don't help you, you will have to marry an old widower, and you will be tortured to death by him after marriage." When Rotgar said this, his tone was full of anger, and the outward expression was The flickering light on his fingertips.
Among the several affinity elements that Ulysses possesses, the fire element is the most affinity, and he is also the most proficient in using fire spells. The frequent use of fire spells over the years has caused some subtle changes in his body. Fellow mages can often see the elemental spells commonly used by another mage.
Like now, Lotgar has completely controlled Ulysses' body. When he gets angry but doesn't control it intentionally, the fire element in his body immediately reacts spontaneously.
In this dimly lit room, the firelight at Rotgar's fingertips was clear and startling.
Anna restrained her fear and did not retreat, mustered up the courage to look directly at the demon, and pretended to be calm: "Even so, I have never asked you."
The next moment, starting from the fire at Rotgar's fingertips, the flames seemed to follow some invisible channel in the air and instantly rotated and expanded, forming a ferocious fire dragon behind Rotgar.
Time wasted, unable to see through the essence of this human woman, thinking she would succeed but facing failure again and again...
Rotgar's temper is not the worst among the five Abyss Grand Dukes, but it is not even close to a "good temper".
A mere human dared to play tricks on him several times!
The appearance of the fire dragon caused the temperature in the room to rise rapidly, and sweat broke out on Anna's forehead. It was heat and fear.
She knew that this demon would be very terrifying when he turns against him!
Rotgar let the fire dragon roll behind him without lighting anything on fire. His eyes were slightly narrowed, like a vicious dog staring at a defenseless child.
"Tell me, how are you going to repay me?"
Anna looked through Ulysses's face at the demon hiding inside. This demon looked young, only in his early twenties, but he was entangled with a terrifying malice.
What she saw seemed not to be a demon, but a towering mountain peak falling towards her, and she could hardly stand still.
Under such pressure, the thought of agreeing to forget it flashed through her mind.
Fortunately, such negative thoughts came and went faster. Everything since meeting the devil flashed through Anna's mind. She thought of how many times she had rejected the devil. Sometimes he would be very angry, but he would not be like that. Now this can almost be said to be pressing her head to force her to agree.
Is he so angry that he disregards the rules now
Anna couldn't let the devil know that she had always known about his existence. She could only remind him of the rules from the side and make him have some scruples.
This was obviously a crime of passion, and he would definitely regret it afterwards, so she stepped on the brakes for him. I think he would be grateful to her afterwards!
After comforting herself in this way, Anna glared at the devil and shouted angrily, half disguised and half true: "Are you going to force me like Bobby?"
Anna just had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, but she never thought that after she asked this question, the demon suddenly frowned. The next moment he put away his murderous intention, and the fire dragon behind him disappeared instantly.
Anna was stunned.
It actually succeeded? She was just giving it a try!
Rotgar was indeed brought back to his senses by Anna's words.
He remembered the bet he made with Balan and couldn't force the other party to agree. He had always done this before, but just now, he almost broke the promise.
The last time he was so angry that he almost lost his mind was hundreds of years ago. That time, he whipped the body of the person who angered him until there was no residue left.
This time, he shouldn't have been like this, but he hadn't been this aggrieved in hundreds of years. It was her luck and even more misfortune that he could regain his mind before killing Anna.
"You are lucky."
Rotgar sneered and sat back at the table. The fire dragon just controlled it very accurately and did not damage anything in the room.
In addition to scaring Anna's heart so much that it is still beating rapidly.
Anna wanted to escape from this room with the devil immediately, but she knew it was better not to do so now.
Look, she doesn't have any ability to save herself when facing a demon whose strength is much stronger than hers.
She stepped aside silently, clasping her hands in front of her to keep the trembling of her hands to a minimum.
Rotgar didn't hear Anna's reaction and glanced at her.
She stood quietly in the corner, seemingly calm, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her fear at the moment.
He sneered, no matter how cunning he is, he is still a human being. She couldn't stand such a little scare. I really don't know where she got the courage to fight with him.
It must have been very interesting to see her horrified expression when he took off his disguise and told her the truth soon after.
Rotgar suddenly took out a small cloth bag from the lining pocket of his robe and threw it towards Anna.
Anna was startled. Seeing that the thing was about to fall into her hands, she hurriedly took a step back to avoid it. She saw the cloth bag fell to the ground with a bang, and the rope tying the bag's mouth spread out, revealing an eye-catching sight. of gold coins.
Rotgar: "...What are you hiding from?"
Anna looked at the bag of gold coins on the ground, opened her mouth and closed it again.
What should she say? She had read a novel that traveled through ancient times. The heroine in the novel took advantage of the bad habit of those martial arts people who wanted to catch anything flying towards them, and threw a thunderbolt...
And the world she traveled through was a world full of supernatural powers. Is there anything wrong with not picking up things of unknown origin
Now seeing gold coins in the bag, Anna didn't want to pick it up.
This is something handled by the devil. Who knows if there is a curse or something else
Perhaps, by accepting this bag of gold coins, she was equivalent to selling her soul
There are at least ten gold coins exposed outside the bag. How many are hidden by the bag? With so much money, what can’t be bought? How dare she take it
Anna ignored the devil's question, looked at him blankly and asked, "I don't know what Lord Ulysses means?"
Rotgar almost laughed: "When did you become so stupid?"
Anna lowered her head and pretended to be dead, he'd better think she was stupid.
Seeing that Anna was silent, Rotgar wanted to drive her away, but remembering that his bet with Balan was made by her words that made him keep the bottom line, he laughed maliciously and happily again.
Her words allowed the bet between him and Balan to continue, and also caused her own future to move into the abyss. Otherwise, if he loses control and kills her today, she will only suffer for a moment.
This bag of gold coins is in exchange for decades of torture for her in the future. If she finds out in the future...
Although Anna didn't know what the devil was thinking, she always felt that he seemed to be proud of something.
But what are you proud of? She confiscated his gold coins and didn't agree to his proposal. He couldn't harvest her soul, so what was the point of having fun
Rotgar changed his tone to a cold tone and said, "This is compensation for you."
Anna stood still and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ulysses, you don't need to compensate me, and I don't dare to accept it. If you really feel sorry, why not never mention Bobby again in the future, and I will also forget what happened today.”
Rotgar was not unfamiliar with the currency of the human world. He knew that the gold coins in the bag on the ground were enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime and leave a large legacy to future generations.
Why doesn't she want it
He realized that she was not telling the truth, because she didn't look at the pile of coins, as if they were some kind of terrifying monsters.
Rotgar found that the irritability he had vented before reappeared.
Because he didn't understand why she didn't want gold coins.
It was obvious that she had tried her best to get close to Parrish and Ulysses. If she had so many gold coins, she could do many things better. It was impossible for her not to understand this truth.
"Why not?" Rotgar pointed to the bag on the ground and asked with a cold face.
If you don’t want it, don’t want it. Why do you need so many reasons
"I don't deserve such compensation." Anna said casually.
"You can take what I reward you with," Rotgar insisted.
Anna was also very insistent: "But I really can't have it, my lord."
Just kidding, if he insisted on giving her these gold coins, she would be even more afraid to accept them.
Rotgar looked at Anna.
Anna looked at the ground.
The suffocating silence lasted for a full minute before Rotgar gave up and continued the stalemate with Anna.
He rarely gave her gold coins to "thank" her for reminding him to save his bet with Balan, so don't forget it.
He started to eat.
Anna caught sight of the demon's movements from the corner of her eye, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she waited with peace of mind, but after all, the bag of gold coins was lying on the ground, and she couldn't help but look over there.
I really want it... With these gold coins, she can immediately test her elemental affinity. If she has the possibility of becoming a mage, then she will resign immediately and study spells. Although she may still be unable to get rid of this demon, he is not afraid of mages, and he will not stop her from studying. Maybe she can't do anything to him at first, but who knows what will happen in the future
Anna forcibly withdrew her gaze. You can't be too greedy.
When Rotgar put down the knife and fork, Anna silently stepped forward to pack her things, with a submissive look on her face, making it impossible for Rotgar to connect her with the stubborn person just now.
Anna packed her things in an orderly manner under the unobstructed gaze of the devil, then said goodbye and steadily left the small building.
The whole bag of gold coins was still shining on the ground.
Until she came home from get off work in the evening, Anna was still immersed in the sadness of losing her gold coins.
If only it wasn't the devil who gave her the gold coins, she would definitely accept them without hesitation.
Returning to Pomegranate Lane and passing Bobby's ruined home, Anna subconsciously slowed down her pace. For the devil, it was so easy to kill a person.
Of course, Bobby deserved it and she had no sympathy for him.
"Did you kill Bobby?" A sharp female voice came from the side.
Anna followed the sound, and Lily walked out of the shadows with a complicated expression.
"I'm going to expose you to Father Louis!" she said excitedly but in a suppressed voice, with a slight tremor, as if she was hiding fear.
Anna had only been scared by demons during the day, so she didn't take a small character like Lily seriously.
"Expose me? Expose me for what?" Anna said with a smile, "My family and I are good people. Bobby forced me to marry him, which is contrary to the teachings of the benevolent goddess of light. It is the goddess who sends a divine punishment. What does it have to do with me to make him die in pain in the sea of fire?"
She paused, as if remembering something, and smiled again: "I can't say it doesn't matter. After all, I am a devout believer in the goddess. I pray every day that the goddess can send gifts to help my family tide over the difficulties. Who would have thought that it would come true? The goddess is so kind.”
"You... you are talking nonsense! The goddess treats everyone equally, how could she send down divine punishment to burn Bobby to death?" Lily defended, "It was obviously because you wanted to get rid of him that you burned him to death viciously!"
"The goddess teaches us to be benevolent. Bobby's actions are contrary to what the goddess said. Isn't it normal for the goddess to punish him? Or are you accusing the goddess of unfair punishment?" Anna's tone suddenly became serious. Get up, "If that's what you mean, then I will expose your disrespect to the goddess to Father Louis!"
Lily was snatched away by Anna and almost jumped up in anger: "You are talking nonsense! I am a devout believer of the goddess, how can I accuse the goddess?"
"Even if you don't dare to accuse the goddess, what you and your mother did is completely contrary to the teachings of the goddess." Anna said, "You clearly knew that Bobby beat his wife to death, and you instigated Bobby to marry me. Don’t you just want me to die? In terms of viciousness, I who have done nothing can’t compare to you and your mother.”
Probably because she didn't expect Anna to know that Bobby wanted to marry Anna because she and her mother were instigating it, Lily's face turned pale and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "You, don't talk nonsense, my mother and I didn't do that kind of thing!"
Anna chuckled: "Speaking of which, compared to me, you are more suspicious, right? Maybe Bobby discovered your sinister intentions and no longer planned to cooperate with you. You were afraid that he would tell you, so you became murderous. Burn him alive."
"No, we didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Lily almost screamed. She finally suppressed her fear and anger and glared at Anna. "It was obviously you who did it!"
Anna sighed and shook her head. If Lily's mother Renee was here at this time, she probably wouldn't care about what she said. Lily's rank was too low. She felt that writing Lily down in a small notebook was a waste of her energy.
However, Lily and her mother were the instigators of Bobby's misdeeds, and it would be really uncomfortable if she didn't do anything.
Anna suddenly got close to Lily and smiled slightly. This smile was not formulaic in the past, nor was it sweet. It was more chilling to the bottom of her heart.
"How can the light beer that Bobby can afford burn even if it is close to a candle? Do you remember Bobby's son yelling about death?" Anna looked into Lily's eyes and chuckled, "That is not the God of Death, but a four-star mage who is good at using fire spells. Yes, it is the second son of the Duke who is temporarily staying in the Lord's Mansion. Guess, why did he come to Pomegranate Lane for such a competition? The slums are not much better, killing a civilian who he won't even look at?"
Anna said, and raised her hand to pat Lily's face gently, with a subtle tone: "Guess who will be burned to death next by that noble mage?"
There was only fear in Lily's eyes, and she screamed and slapped Anna's hand away, then retreated and ran away like the plague.
Anna puffed her cheeks to relax the muscles on her face, and couldn't help but mutter "coward."
He had the guts to frame her, but he didn't have the guts to face the consequences.
She was just talking. The devil originally wanted to kill Bobby and force her to provide services to make her pay a "price", but she didn't let him succeed. How could he go on to kill other people and have a thankless job
Lily rushed back to her home and slammed the door, causing her mother to yell: "What are you doing!"
Lily's chest was heaving, and there was a look of panic on her face. She rushed to Renee quickly, grabbed Renee's arm tightly, and said almost incoherently: "The Master... kill Bobby, and he will kill us too!"
Renee wanted to slap Lily's hand away, but paused after hearing this, grabbed Lily's arm in turn, and asked sternly: "Where did you hear that?"
"Yes, it was Anna who said it!" Lily's arm hurt, but she was not in the mood to care. She hurriedly said, "It was the four-star mage who was temporarily staying at the Earl's Mansion who burned Bobby to death!"
Because Lily's Aunt Anna works in the Earl's Mansion, Lily's family is very well-informed. They all know that there is a four-star mage temporarily staying in the Earl's Mansion. At the same time, Anna often saw the four-star mage, and they also vaguely heard about it.
Hearing Lily's words, Renee was reminded of the fear she felt after seeing Bobby's body.
She knew that Bobby's death was definitely not an accident. Bobby liked to drink light beer, and anyone who knew anything about beer knew that light beer did not cause a fire at all.
Bobby was burned to death on purpose.
"I knew that little bitch Anna was young but had a very vicious heart!" Renee said through gritted teeth.
"Mom, what should we do?" Lily asked in panic with red eyes.
Renee only hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're moving right away!"
Whether Bobby was burned to death by a four-star mage or Anna himself, it was the same to their family. They could no longer stay in Pomegranate Lane, otherwise Anna, that vicious little bitch, might destroy their family. Burn to death!
At that moment, Renee woke up her husband who was sleeping soundly on the bed without saying much. Her husband was accustomed to listening to her. Without saying a word, she started packing her things and prepared to move to his sister Anna's house overnight. live.
Even so, Renee and Lily were still uneasy, fearing that Anna or the four-star mage would come after them.
Anna returned to her home the next night and found out that Lily's family had moved away from Pomegranate Lane overnight. Someone who was close to Lily's family originally wanted to ask them where they were moving to, but Lily's family didn't say a word.
Anna thought that she had indeed scared Lily enough. As for Lily's mother Renee... Regardless of whether Renee believed what she said or not, she would probably move away.
The alcohol content of light beer is too low. What's the difference between putting it on an open flame and pouring water on it? It's just that the people in Pomegranate Lane are unwilling to get to the bottom of it. People like Bobby will die when they die. Who is willing to meddle in other people's business? As a result, everyone vaguely felt that something was fishy, but no one asked further, and the matter passed away.
If Renee believed Anna's words and thought it was a mage who did it, of course she would be frightened and run away. If she didn't believe it, she should also know that Bobby's death was inseparable from Anna. If she could be so vicious as to burn Bobby alive, wouldn't she and her family be in danger
Therefore, Anna thinks it's normal for Lily's family to be scared and move away. At present, as long as Lily's family no longer causes trouble for her, the battle of wits and courage with the devil cannot tolerate interference from a third party. If she becomes developed or powerful in the future, if she meets them again, she won't mind causing them some trouble.
Anna didn't think about Lily anymore. In the past few days, she had another job. In addition to delivering breakfast to Parrish near noon, she also had to deliver breakfast to the demon who had taken over the body of Master Ulysses. Lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.
Obviously the devil was always there when she brought breakfast to Parrish, but he didn't eat it with Parrish. He had to wait until Parrish finished eating and then serve it to him alone after she returned to the kitchen.
As a kitchen maid, Anna could only secretly say she was crazy and could only serve him food honestly.
After that, the devil really didn't mention Bobby again, and he didn't do anything more, but she always felt that he had been secretly planning to do something bad.
Because she still had to deliver dinner to the devil, Anna's return home was delayed a lot, and it was always dark every time she came home. However, now that Bobby is dead and Lily has moved away, Pomegranate Lane is much safer for Anna.
That night she walked home under the moonlight, and the road was quiet. Because there were not many entertainment activities in this era, people were not willing to waste oil lamps and candles. They mostly slept or did some activities that did not require lights at night. Of course, places like pubs are always lively.
After Bobby's death, Evan also returned to work in the tavern. The injured person who had previously asked Evan to compensate him did not ask for compensation after Bobby's death. In the end, he only asked for three silver coins, which Anna's family could fully afford. Started.
As soon as Anna walked into Pomegranate Lane, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind, covered her mouth, and pulled her into the ruins of the house after Bobby's death.
Before Anna could react, the man behind him spoke. It was a nice male voice, but it sounded very weak: "I'm not a bad person, I just need your help, and I will give you money. If you understand, and don't If you scream, please nod and I will let you go."
Anna pushed out all the social news that had filled her mind just now and nodded quickly.
The man really slowly let go of her.
Anna did not turn around and run away immediately. Listening to what this man said, he was not a rough man and did not mean to hurt her.
When she turned around and saw the man's appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
This should be a young man with a handsome face. One of his eyes is covered by short brown hair. There is kindness in the eyes of the same color as the hair. However, his entire face, as well as his palms and other exposed skin, can be seen. To the surging dark lines.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?" The man smiled, and the corners of his mouth were boiling with dark lines, which was even more scary. "Please don't worry, I am also a human being. I only act like this when I am injured. I will not hurt you." your."
If Anna could still run away before seeing this man, after seeing his appearance, she thought she had to stay.
These dark lines on this man's body are probably caused by natural elements in his body. In other words, he is a mage!
Anna really wants to become a mage, but the only mage she can contact is possessed by a demon, and the demon even refuses to teach her how to read. This is the opportunity she has dreamed of!
She quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I was not scared, distinguished mage."
The man was stunned, looked at Anna in surprise, and said with a helpless smile: "I am not a noble mage. According to the Holy See, I am a fallen mage."
This was the first time Anna heard the term fallen mage, and she asked curiously: "What is a fallen mage?"
The man was already prepared for Anna to scream and run away, but he was stunned again when he heard this.
She looks young, probably because she has never heard of it from the adults at home.
The black lines on his body suddenly surged violently. He sat down hurriedly, and it took him a while to recover. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the girl was still standing in front of him and had not left.
He said: "The priests of the Holy See are holy light mages, and the opposite of light is darkness. Those who use dark spells are fallen mages."
Anna was extremely curious about spells and the world of mages. Seeing that the fallen mage was willing to talk, she didn't mind the dirt on the ground, so she sat down cross-legged and said, "Can you tell me more?"
The man couldn't help laughing when he saw Anna holding her chin as if she wanted to listen to the story. Doesn't she really think he looks scary at the moment
But he was really weak now, so he just said: "I can tell you later. But I haven't eaten for three days. Can you please find me some food? I won't let your help go in vain."
As he spoke, he took out a bag from his arms, opened it, took out a gold coin and handed it over.
Anna thought for a while, but did not refuse. She took the gold coin and suppressed her excitement and said, "It's too late now. The bakeries are closed. I only have rye bread and light beer at home. Do you think that's okay?"
The man said gratefully: "As long as it fills my stomach."
Anna stood up and dusted herself off. After Bobby's death, no one had cleaned up the place, and it still looked like it had after the fire, extremely dirty.
But before leaving, she still couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate... I mean, aren't you afraid that I will inform the priest of the church?"
The man showed his white teeth and his smile was a bit hearty: "I have been observing you for two days, and I don't think you know how to do it."
And her behavior when she saw him also proved that his judgment was not wrong.
Of course, he often made wrong judgments, and his teacher always told him to be more discerning, but he still believed that there were always many good people in the world.
Anna seemed to be infected by the man's smile and couldn't help but laugh: "My name is Anna, how should I call you?"
The man said: "My name is Dibian Flagg, you can just call me Dibian, Anna."
Anna nodded, without saying anything more, turned around and walked out of the ruins, heading towards her home.
She held the gold coin in her palm tightly, feeling dizzy with excitement.
She unexpectedly met a mage who was unassuming and generous. She felt that her dream of being a mage was just ahead!
Anna felt at ease accepting the other party's gold coins, because the gold coins not only included food, but also included the risks she took if she knew and failed to report them.
Because she is not a native of this world, she has little interest in the confrontation between light and darkness. The mage named Dibian looks very good. There may be some hidden reason for becoming a fallen mage, but even if it doesn't, it doesn't matter to her.
If he had been hostile to her, she would have died the moment he was dragged into the ruins. It doesn't matter if he pretends to be a good guy so he can trick her into giving him food. She can get gold coins and more supernatural knowledge from him, so it's a win-win situation.
At least she should be fine until he recovers.
Even, this dark mage might have a way to deal with the devil. Doesn’t it say that only magic can defeat magic? She felt that the demon was quite dark, and perhaps dark magic could defeat the demon.
When Anna came home, she said hello to her mother Guy, and then went to her bedroom to take a look. Adele and little Evan were both asleep. Adele's hand gently rested on little Evan's belly. The little faces that are quite similar are close together, which makes people look cute.
Anna quietly picked up the rye bread and light beer for two people, put them in a rattan basket, and then cautiously went out. When she arrived at the ruins, she looked around first to make sure there was no one around, then ducked in.
Dibian seemed to have reached his limit. When Anna came in, she found that he was leaning in the corner, unconscious, and the dark lines on his face were surging so arrogantly that she did not dare to get close.
After a while, Dibian woke up with a soft groan. When he saw Anna standing by, he explained: "My mental strength is very weak now, and it is difficult to control the out-of-control dark elements in my body."
Anna said understandingly: "I understand. You should eat something first. Only when you have strength can you continue to fight against the dark elements in your body."
Fortunately, Dibian was not weak enough to need feeding, otherwise Anna would be very embarrassed.
She sat next to Dibian and watched him eat, observing him silently.
Although some people are very good at pretending, most people can still see some clues about their true nature through daily interactions.
For example, that demon, although he looks the same whether he is possessing Parrish or Ulysses, he has too many flaws. If there were a demon academy that specifically taught demon possession classes, he would Should be given a failing grade.
After Dibian had eaten about a quarter and stopped eating, Anna said, "I want to take the rattan basket back, otherwise my mother may become suspicious."
Dibian nodded, and Anna helped him pack away the remaining food and light beer, leaving them for him to eat during the day tomorrow. She also had plenty of clay pots for lager at home, so Guy wouldn't notice that one was missing.
Guy knew that she was back and Anna couldn't leave home for too long, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Dibian, how long will you stay here to recuperate?"
Dibian thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "My mental disorder is a bit serious and it will take about two months."
Anna's eyes lit up, two months was enough for her.
She said seriously: "During the two months when you are recovering from your injuries, I will be responsible for your diet and help you cover up, but in exchange, I hope you can help me become a mage."
Dibian was stunned for a moment, looked into Anna's expectant eyes, and nodded subconsciously.
After coming to his senses, he had no regrets.
The feeling Anna gave him was different from most people he had ever met. The two days of secret observation made him initially judge that she was a trustworthy person. Now that they have talked, he is very sure of this.
"Really?" Anna looked excited.
DiBian was infected by Anna's emotions and smiled: "Of course. As you said, this is a very good deal."
Anna really wanted to get Dibian to teach her the knowledge of the wizarding world right now, but she knew it was not the right time, so she held back and said, "Then it's settled, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow night."
Anna returned home quietly. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep while lying on the bed.
Although she was almost certain that Dibian would agree before asking, she couldn't help but become overly excited when he actually agreed.
It was a win-win situation for her and him, she could learn magic, and he would gain a sense of security because she was sure she would not betray him because she still wanted to learn magic.
Although she didn't sleep well the night before, Anna got up energetically the next morning.
As she passed the ruins, she glanced inside. It was quiet and dark inside, and it looked a bit scary, enough to deter others from going in to play.
Rotgar noticed that Anna seemed particularly happy today.
In the past, when she came to deliver food to him, she would always stand quietly aside, as if to minimize her presence. Although she was still standing quietly today, he always felt that she seemed to be very excited.
What are you so happy about
Rotgar didn't want Anna to have something with Parrish without him knowing about it, so every time Anna brought breakfast to Parrish, he always endured his disgust towards Parrish and arrived early. The Parrish residence is waiting for Anna, and when Anna leaves, he will be eager to leave.
Therefore, he was convinced that there was no further development between Anna and Parrish under his nose.
"Did you find someone to teach you how to read?"
Lotgar asked abruptly.
Ana suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Did he discover Dibian's existence
She remembered that Rotgar knew about Bobby before, so it seemed reasonable to know about Dibian's existence now.
"Not yet." Anna forced herself to remain calm, and could not get into trouble until the last moment. She shook her head, then looked at Rotgar and said, "Have you changed your mind and are willing to teach me?"
Anna swore that she asked this purely casually to cover up her nervousness and divert the devil's attention.
But she didn't expect that when she asked, the devil said: "It is true."
Anna was stunned and looked at the devil in great surprise.
No, she has found a suitable teacher, why did this devil suddenly change his mind
What is this? When she wanted to find someone to teach her how to read, she couldn't find anyone. She already found one and even gave her one more!
Rotgar raised his eyebrows slightly, and after giving Anna a positive answer in a charitable tone, what he wanted was a grateful response from Anna.
And Anna's reaction was just as he expected. After the initial surprise, her face lit up with joy, she quickly bowed her head and saluted, and said excitedly: "Thank you very much, distinguished Lord Ulysses, you are such a good person!"
However, from an angle that Rotgar could not see, Anna showed an extremely helpless expression.
She couldn't act like this, she couldn't expose Di Bien's existence, and she had to coax the devil so that he wouldn't cause trouble for her while she was studying with Di Bien.
She will learn from Dibian seriously, and the devil can just be perfunctory. She doesn't believe that he, a seemingly illiterate devil, can teach better than a real mage.
Rotgar was very satisfied with Anna's reaction.
After vaguely noticing that Anna seemed a little different from what he had previously thought, he set out to figure it out, but just observing was not enough. He had to get closer to her in order to see through all her disguises.
It had been so many days since he refused to teach her how to read, so she must have had enough of being rejected. Therefore, he can now relax and teach her how to read.
Rotgar said: "Starting from tomorrow, you will come here in the morning."
Anna quickly pretended to be grateful, and deliberately made her steps appear relaxed when she left.
Dealing with demons is also a laborious task.
Tired.
