Of course Rotgar would not reveal his plans now, and Anna didn't know what he was thinking, but she could feel his ill intentions and felt a chill down her spine.
Could this devil have misunderstood that she liked the Holy Son, so he planned to possess the Holy Son to deceive her soul
The possibility drove Anna crazy.
After what happened with Ulysses, she was mentally prepared for the devil to change bodies, but what she was unwilling to accept was that the devil could possess the Holy Son
Is the devil really invincible
She had waited in vain for the Holy Son to defeat the devil.
Anna's disappointment came and went quickly. If the Holy Son couldn't defeat the devil, then he couldn't defeat the devil. She would do it herself!
Rotgar saw that Anna seemed to suddenly become excited and couldn't guess what she was thinking, but he didn't care.
In a few days, it will all be over.
Rotgar threw a thread-bound book on the table to Anna: "Read it yourself."
Anna hurriedly caught the book, and there were words in the title that she didn't know. She turned to the inner pages and browsed them briefly. Through the words she knew, she found that this seemed to be a book related to the creation myth. Book.
She secretly glanced at the devil. He was sitting quietly, with a calm and beautiful profile. If you didn't look at the devil himself hidden in this body, he was really beautiful in his prime.
Pity.
Anna started reading the book slowly from the beginning, because she now has some vocabulary. When she encounters a word she doesn't know, she can start from the root of the word or guess the meaning based on the context. After reading it this way, she has a rough understanding of it.
This book says that the world was originally a state of chaos. The God of Creation woke up from the chaos and divided the world into two parts. Rule the land for him, and then it will return to chaos.
The goddess of light created eight natural elements and used these eight natural elements to create various creatures. Her favorite is human beings who look almost the same as her. Such favor aroused the jealousy of a certain creature, which used various means to lure humans into betraying their faith in the goddess. The goddess was furious and sent down divine punishment on humans.
Human beings awakened from various catastrophes and re-dedicated their devotion to the goddess. The goddess also mercifully forgave humans and drove the creature into the demon world as punishment.
The book was not long, but it was not as short as Anna summarized it. After reading it, she raised her eyes to look at the devil, thinking that she could not resist knowledge, so she walked to him and said: "Master Ulysses, I have almost finished reading. But there are some words that I can’t understand, so please teach me.”
Rotgar took the book, glanced at the title, frowned slightly, opened the book again and read a few lines inside, then closed the book and said with a cold face: "It's all nonsense."
Anna: "..." I dare you to ask me to read this book before you let me read it? Just use a book to fool me!
Anna remembered that she had said before that she did not dare to blaspheme the gods. Now she heard the words and said quickly: "Master Ulysses, please don't say that! This is blasphemy against the gods. You are also a believer of the goddess, how can you say such a thing?" "
Rotgar looked at her sideways, tapped the cover of the book with his slender fingers, and asked her: "Do you understand what is written inside?"
"I probably understand." Anna summarized herself briefly, and specifically explained, "Because I don't recognize that word, I replaced it with 'some kind of creature'."
Rotgar looked at Anna, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked and his eyes full of malice. He opened his lips slightly and read out the word.
Ana was stunned: "What?"
This time the words the devil read out again were heard clearly by Anna.
"demon."
Anna knew how to say devil in spoken language, but the word devil happened to not comply with the spelling rules. Looking at the word alone, it was impossible to connect it with the pronunciation of "devil".
… This word turns out to be “devil”!
Anna was confused for a moment. Why did the devil react so strangely? Did he realize that she had already discovered him
No, no, calm down!
If he had found out that she was still acting with him even though she knew what he was, he would probably be furious by now, and she would be completely cold now.
Anna forced her gaze to fall on the word on the page, not daring to look at the devil to see his expression. She seemed to look at it for a while before calmly saying: "It turns out that this word is devil. I only knew what the devil said in the past. But I don’t know how to write it.”
Rotgar sneered in his heart when he saw Anna's seemingly unconscious look.
The real devil was right in front of her, but she didn't know it.
"You don't need to read this book anymore, everything written in it is false." Rotgar said, flames appeared in his hands, and the book was lit on fire instantly. Anna couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
Watching the book burn to ashes in the flames, Anna was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
Although it is not her book, it is a precious book of this era! Who knows from which era this manuscript was handed down? These are all golden coins.
Anna bit her lip, suppressed her heartache, and then asked pretending to be confused: "Lord Ulysses, you said that the writing in this book is all fake, so what is it really about? Could it be that the devil is not Doesn’t it exist?”
The original person has never seen even a monster since he was a child, so it is not surprising to ask this question.
"Of course the devil exists, but it's not what it looks like in the book." Even though the book had been burned to ashes, Rotgar still felt puzzled, "How could such a dirty and lowly thing be a devil?"
Anna was like an ignorant girl who worshiped the mage. She was full of admiration and asked excitedly and curiously: "Have you ever seen demons with your own eyes? What do they look like?"
"I've seen it." Rotgar glanced at Anna. Her appearance made him feel very comfortable, and he replied casually, "The devil is powerful and majestic, and he doesn't bother to use the disgusting methods in the book."
Anna covered her mouth with a surprised expression, but she was thinking in her heart that this devil was so shameless and even boasted about it.
Moreover, he really has no idea what kind of virtue he is. Does he think that deceiving her soul by pretending to propose marriage is not a disgusting method? If she was really a young and young girl, she might have been fooled.
Rotgar was no longer interested in playing teacher-student drama with Anna. After he burned the book in anger, he was too lazy to get another one to deal with Anna, so he said to her: "That's it for today."
Anna was almost frightened just now, and she also didn't want to continue to face the devil. After hearing this, she hurriedly bowed and left, and only showed a slightly frightened expression after returning to the kitchen.
She had a feeling that soon, she would see a demon in the shape of the Holy Son wandering around her.
She obviously didn't show any interest in the Holy Son. How could the devil focus on the Holy Son
When the devil really attacks the Holy Son, her life will not be easy.
The son of the city lord, the genius mage, and the saint who was supposed to serve the goddess all his life have shown a strong interest in her and even want to marry her... I am afraid that others will not find her charming, but will think that she is a seductive witch or something. Right
She might be caught by the Holy See and burned at the stake...
Anna was deeply troubled by this, until nearly noon when she brought Parrish breakfast, Parrish gave her a bouquet of flowers in front of the devil.
I saw Parrish holding a bright bouquet of various colors with a charming smile on his face. Before Anna put down the food box, he elegantly handed over the bouquet that looked familiar to Anna. It seemed that she was the only one in his eyes, affectionately. She said gracefully: "Dear Anna, such a delicate flower is worthy of your beautiful face. Please accept it. This is my compliment to you."
Anna looked at the flowers that were obviously picked from the garden of the Earl's Palace and fell into silence. The weight of the food box in her hand drew her attention back in time.
She wanted to refuse sternly as before, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of the devil watching coldly, and she suddenly felt blessed.
It was none of her business what Parrish wanted to do, but she could take advantage of it. The devil somehow misunderstood that she had thoughts about the Holy Son, so he planned to possess the Son. Then she would tell him that she actually still had thoughts about Parrish.
She was totally fine with the demon coming back to possess Parrish.
Anna knew that she had shown different personalities in front of Parrish and the devil, but, well, people are all multi-faceted, so it's not surprising for her to be like this, right
She was still holding a food box in her hand, and in front of her was Parrish with a smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers.
It seemed that Parrish wanted to pursue her, but she found this pursuit very funny.
She was still holding the food box in her hand, didn't he know how to take it
Parrish had long lost interest in her before, but it was the demon's behavior that rekindled his interest.
A man’s desire to win.
Anna first crossed Parrish and placed the food box on the table, took out the food and placed it, then returned and took the bouquet, with a delighted smile on her face: "Is this for me? It's very beautiful, it's so beautiful Thank you!”
Anna originally had a business-like fake smile on her face, but when she took the flowers and found that there was a coin hidden in the stamen of each flower, she was slightly stunned.
There is a coin lying in the center of each of the more than twenty flower stamens. There are gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. Of course, the number of gold coins is the smallest, only one, followed by silver coins, and the largest number is copper coins.
Anna didn't dare accept the gold coin given to her by the devil, but in front of her, it was given by Parrish.
"Master Parrish, this is..." Anna showed the right expression of surprise, and her eyes deliberately showed surprise.
The surprise is real, and the intention is also real.
Parrish's expression was a little subtle when he saw Anna passing him to put the food box, but seeing her reaction later, he smiled clearly and said affectionately: "These coins are just decorations for the beautiful flowers, of course they are given to you together." of."
He is very experienced in pursuing women. He knows very well that for civilian women, the sweet words of nobles are very effective, but gold coins are more effective. He has always liked to use both methods.
Therefore, Anna's reaction was not unexpected. He glanced at Rotgar and saw the sarcasm on his face, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Ulysses was a mage, spent money like water, and was a nobleman. He thought that Anna, a commoner, would hate using gold coins to express love like him. He was really ignorant of the world.
Lotgar certainly noticed the coins Parrish put among the flowers. Except for one gold coin, most of them were copper coins and silver coins.
What he remembered was that he had thrown a bag of gold coins to Anna before, but she didn't take it at all.
She was very ambitious, and she didn't even want the bag of gold coins. How could she ruin her plan with such a small amount of money
So it must have been an interesting look on Parrish's face when he sneered when Parrish looked over defiantly, just waiting for Anna to say no.
Then, he saw Anna taking the bouquet of flowers with joy on her face and a cheerful voice: "Thank you so much. I like this bouquet of flowers and their decorations very much!"
Rotgar suddenly looked at Anna, feeling incredible.
She didn't even ask for dozens of gold coins, but she accepted this little money
In fact, the other two parties involved were quietly observing Rotgar's reaction at this moment.
Seeing the disbelief of the young genius mage, Parrish laughed in his heart, and the smile on his face became brighter: "It is their honor and my honor that you accept it."
But Anna saw the devil's puzzled look and Parrish's happy look, so she accepted the bouquet with peace of mind.
Yes, it was to make the devil think that she was not interested in the Holy Son who served the goddess all his life, but was still interested in the practical Parrish. If the demon came back to possess Parrish next, she would welcome it.
As for Parrish, she accepted his things to help him gain an advantage in the competition between him and Ulysses. These coins were her reward. Everyone benefited from each other and no one lost.
Anna happily stood aside holding the bouquet, while Parrish ate in an equally cheerful mood.
Only Lotgar, his eyes darkly turned on the two people with smiles on their faces.
Seeing Anna holding flowers and occasionally smelling them, Rotgar suddenly remembered what Balan had said in the distant years.
Balan said that women love romance. You can give her exquisite clothes and expensive jewelry, but don't give her gold coins directly.
If there was any difference between the gold coins he gave Anna then and the gold coins Parrish gave Anna today, it was that Parrish gave an extra bouquet of flowers.
Is sending flowers romantic
Lotgar had never thought so seriously about what could make a woman happy. Anna's reaction seemed to prove that Balan's words were correct, but he had also been dealing with Anna for so long, and he always felt that she would not be so superficial, and her ambition would not allow her to indulge in this level of romance.
However, the scene unfolding in front of him truly proved that his understanding of Anna was wrong.
She really smiled so happily just for a bouquet of flowers.
Until Parrish finished breakfast in a happy mood and Anna left with a food box and a bouquet in one hand, Rotgar was still a little confused.
Parrish said with a smile: "Ulysses, don't blame me. Everyone likes beautiful girls. I just follow my own heart. Of course, I will not stop you from pursuing Anna. Anna is a woman with great qualities." A beautiful girl with a rich heart, she has the freedom to choose whose love she accepts.”
Although it was Rotgar who initially drew back Parish's interest in Anna, now Rotgar is quite dissatisfied with it.
He glanced at Parrish coldly, stood up and left.
Parrish smiled brightly behind him and waved: "Ulysses, walk slowly."
After Anna left the small building where Parrish lived, she immediately quickened her pace and quickly took out all the coins hidden in the stamens.
A total of one gold coin, five silver coins, and seventeen copper coins.
This way she has three gold coins in her savings.
However, the two gold coins given by Dibian and the one gold coin given by Parrish cannot be known to her family for the time being. Evan and Guy had never seen so much money, and they might have thought twice had they known that Parrish had given her gold coins.
Anna collected the coins and the bouquet was of no use.
She almost walked out of the garden before she stopped. She looked around and saw no one, then she squatted down and inserted the bouquet into the mud.
She didn't want to take this bouquet back and let people in the kitchen see it.
After once again making sure that no one was around, Anna got up and left quickly.
At noon, Anna delivered food to Rotgar.
Although Parrish was interested in Anna because of Ulysses, he would not miss a meal with his father for this reason, so Anna delivered lunch to Rotgar alone.
Before Anna came, she wanted to test whether her previous performance had dispelled the devil's idea of attacking the Holy Son. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she was almost blinded by something on the dining table.
The table is filled with all kinds of jewelry!
Anna was holding the food box with nowhere to put it, and stood at the table in shock, looking at the many jewelry on the table that looked like they had just been snatched from a jewelry store.
Seeing Anna's shocked look, Rotgar felt for once that what Balan said made some sense.
But at the same time, he was also a little inexplicably disappointed. He thought it was a challenging thing, but it turned out to be so easy to achieve
He used the wrong method before, but as long as he uses it correctly, he can win the heart of any woman.
Rotgar found it boring. He saw Anna still frozen at the table and said, "You like it? These are all yours."
Anna raised her eyes to look at the devil, and he looked at her coldly.
No, the expression on Ulysses' face was actually just coldness, but through Ulysses, she saw the cold and even cold look of the devil hidden in his body.
She was so excited that she quickly closed her eyes, which were almost blurred, and quickly looked away.
Fortunately, she was just frightened by the light of the jewelry and never thought of accepting what the devil gave her. She didn't even want the gold coins given by the devil, and it was even less possible for her to ask for something that was difficult to get rid of, such as jewelry.
Ana quickly took a small step back, lowered her head and said, "I don't want these."
Rotgar raised his eyebrows: "Don't like these? Then what kind do you like?"
Anna said: "I don't like any of them."
"Really not?"
Anna was determined: "No."
Although he was rejected by Anna, Rotgar's mood improved inexplicably. Because this is more in line with his thoughts, Anna should really be so difficult to win. Otherwise, if he had spent so long on her before, could it be because he was incompetent
But then, Rotgar thought of Anna's ecstatic look when she accepted Parrish's flowers today.
"But you accepted Parrish's flowers." Rotgar's tone became colder.
Anna thought to herself, am I just collecting flowers? I was collecting money!
However, in order to make the devil lose interest in the Holy Son, Anna deliberately remained silent for a moment before saying: "The flowers are very fragrant."
The flowers are fragrant
Rotgar glanced at the jewelry on the table. Indeed, these jewelry were not fragrant at all.
But he soon realized that this was just Anna's excuse.
She passes by the garden every day. There are so many flowers in the garden. She likes the fragrance of the flowers and doesn't have to wait for Parrish to send them.
Anna is now attracted to Parrish again.
Coming to this conclusion, Rotgar's face darkened.
When he possessed Parrish, Anna always rejected him. Seeing that her target turned to Ulysses, he possessed Ulysses again, but she still rejected him. Now when he saw that she was interested in the Holy Son and planned to possess him, she turned to Parrish again.
Can't this woman be more professional
Rotgar felt as if he had been being played by Anna, as if she had always known who he was.
But this idea did not stay for long, because his possession ability was a gift from the abyss, and even the Pope could not see it. How could an ordinary civilian woman like Anna see through him
Looking at the jewelry on the table, Rotgar felt it was an eyesore. As soon as the flame ignited on his hand, he heard Anna exclaim: "No!"
Rotgar looked sideways at her.
Anna's expression was almost frightened. She was the kind of person who was heartbroken even when she saw the protagonist in an adventure movie missing the treasure. The heartache of the demon burning the book in the morning was still in her heart. How could she watch these jewels being burned again?
Although it is not her thing, she will still be heartbroken!
Rotgar paused and asked her, "Do you want it?"
Anna hesitated before saying: "I don't want it, but..."
The next second, flames spread from Rotgar's fingertips and wrapped around the table of jewelry. The fire element is not an ordinary flame, the table is fine, but the jewelry crackles in the fire element and gradually disappears...
Rotgar looked at Anna's lost look, and suddenly felt inexplicably happy.
