The Holy Son's long silver hair is as cold as silk, and when you lift it up, the hair slips from the gaps between your fingers and hangs to the bed, like a long silver river shining with starlight.
Anna originally just wanted to deal with the devil and coax him, but she didn't expect that the Son's long hair would be so fascinating to touch.
She reluctantly let go of her long silver hair and showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "Thank you, Lord Holy Son."
Rotgar saw Anna's reaction in his eyes and became more certain about his choice to possess the Holy Son.
Maybe he can achieve his goal in less than three days.
At this moment, Rotgar could see something without feeling dizzy again. He remembered that he told Anna yesterday that he would continue to teach her how to read. He doesn't mind a little trouble in order to shorten the time it takes to achieve his goal.
He looked at Anna who was about to clean up the room: "Come here, I will teach you how to read."
Anna was stunned and looked at him in surprise: "Lord Holy Son, don't you need more rest?"
"Need not."
Anna saw that the devil was looking at her coldly and had no intention of discussing with her, so she reluctantly followed the devil's instructions and rearranged the small table on the bed and put paper, quills and ink on it.
Since there was no book at hand, Rotgar thought about teaching Anna how to write by hand.
But before writing, he paused for a moment. What should he write
Anna took a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the devil, thinking that he really had no sense of concealment at all. He didn't even ask her about her progress and just started teaching.
The devil had always thrown a book to her before, almost asking her to learn on her own, and she didn't know what tricks he was planning to play today.
When Anna saw the devil, she thought for a while and started writing. After reading a line, she couldn't help but sigh, he was really perfunctory! The font didn't change, it was exactly the same as when he still possessed Ulysses.
She pretended that she couldn't see it at all and focused on what the devil had written.
… full of unknown words.
Anna looked carefully for a while, and suddenly discovered the three characters that she had long forgotten and had been added to the basic characters when the demon possessed Ulysses taught her.
When the devil taught her before, except for the basic characters and the three characters of Gase, which were handwritten by him, he used ready-made books to teach her, and those ready-made books definitely did not come from the devil, so they did not appear. Those three characters.
Since the devil didn't mention it, Anna deliberately pretended that she didn't notice that there were three missing characters in the word.
Now, every word written by the devil contains at least one garbled character.
Rotgar pointed to the first word and read it again.
Anna listened to the long pronunciation that did not match the length of the word, and read it again, but because of the rough pronunciation, she stumbled a little.
Rotgar looked a little disgusted. Thinking about the recent progress, he didn't want to ruin it, so he had to read it again.
This time Anna read it smoothly.
Seeing that the devil was planning to recite the second one, Anna hurriedly asked him: "Lord Holy Son, what does this mean?"
Rotgart paused and said: "One way to kill the phoenix is to attack the junction of the second rib of its right rib near the sternum. That will make it fall apart on the spot, but then everything must be burned immediately with fire. Bones, or it will come back to life.”
Anna's head was full of questions. She asked what the meaning of a word was and why did the devil tell her such a long story? And, what is a phoenix? Some kind of monster
"This word means... phoenix?" Anna asked when she saw that the devil didn't seem to be impatient at the moment.
As a result, as soon as she finished asking, the devil showed impatience on his face, frowned and said, "That's what I just said."
Anna was completely shocked. One word means an entire paragraph? The devil saves paper when writing a book!
"It's amazing..." she sighed with emotion.
When Rotgar thought she was praising him, he relaxed his brows a little, pointed to the next word and spoke a long pronunciation, and then explained: "Facing the army of skeletons, using specific sounds can make them instantly fall apart."
Anna thought that this was probably the language of the devil, and that the devil was probably a pragmatist. The words he wrote down were all ways to deal with some kind of monster.
She felt as if she was an elementary school kid who could never get into college and was listening to a college teacher lecture on calculus.
Although she is actually learning to read... but what is the difference between the devil throwing these words and teaching her how to fight World of Warcraft? Maybe it's a monster from the demon world. There are also monsters in the human world. Ulysses was injured from fighting a monster, but she had never heard of a monster like the phoenix.
So, she hasn't even seen the monsters in the human world, so what's the use of knowing how to fight the monsters in the demon world
Anna's mind was filled with questions, but this did not delay her from writing down what the devil taught her.
Sometimes you don’t need to be so utilitarian. You can learn useless things. It doesn’t hurt to have more knowledge.
Originally, the devil wrote thirty words on the paper. Anna thought she could remember them quickly when she didn't know what they were. But in fact, the devil spent a lot of time just explaining them, and then he threw away the paper. Give it to Anna and let her remember it.
Anna held the paper and read and memorized it in a low voice.
By the time she memorized everything, it was already an hour later. During this period, she had no big problem remembering the pronunciation and meaning, but sometimes she didn't understand the methods of killing monsters in the meaning, so she would ask again. Just ask.
Fortunately, the devil still claimed to be teaching her, and did not try to prevaricate her by saying that he only taught her to read and not to kill monsters. Although he was impatient, he still answered her.
After learning everything, Anna's head was a little dizzy, but at the same time she was also a little proud. From today on, she was an expert who could kill thirty kinds of monsters, although it was just like being able to memorize the last thousand digits of pi, which was of no use other than showing off. .
At noon, Anna went to get lunch and watched the devil finish it. In the afternoon, the devil wrote another thirty ways to kill monsters to teach her.
So, when she came home from work that day, Anna became a Western fantasy version of Wang Yuyan who knew how to kill sixty kinds of monsters.
He didn't care about the two pieces of paper written by the devil, so Anna took them away naturally. On the way home, she tore them into pieces and threw them into the smelly ditch on the roadside. , seeing that all the fragments were submerged and dyed black, she left with peace of mind.
There was something ridiculous about how she was feeling now.
She obviously wished that there was a goddess who could report the devil, but now she was helping the devil cover up everything to prevent others from discovering the devil's existence, for fear that he would flip the table and stop playing.
Today, probably because they were worried about the body of the Holy Son possessed by the devil, neither Parrish nor Ulysses came to disturb her. Anna went back and forth to the kitchen without encountering them, which finally saved her a lot of worry.
Because she was still thinking about little Evan, Anna felt a little upset when she was studying with Dibian. It wasn't until she finished literacy and started meditating that she calmed down with the help of meditation.
Seeing that Anna was able to use the illumination spell faster today than yesterday, Dibian smiled appreciatively and said, "Anna, you are talented and hardworking. I believe that sooner or later you will become a five-star mage."
Anna knew that the five-star mage was very powerful, but she had no accurate idea of how powerful it was. There is a demon around her that can easily possess even four-star mages and priests. It is not known whether a five-star mage can fight against him.
She felt a little hung up.
However, after taking care of the demon at close range, she discovered that the demon seemed to feel uncomfortable due to the discomfort of the possessed body after possession. So if the object he possessed was killed when he was possessed, would it be possible to kill him as well
Of course, this is just one of Anna's whimsical thoughts. She doesn't have the courage or ability to kill, and the Holy Son is so innocent. How could she kill the Holy Son? If one day she becomes a powerful mage and a demon possesses a villain, maybe she can try to kill him.
Hopefully the devil won't lose patience before then.
"I will work hard!" Anna nodded seriously and expressed her expectations, "After becoming a five-star mage, no one can threaten me!"
Dibian smiled and said: "You are not a pure dark affinity person. As long as you can become a one-star mage, you can obtain a noble title. Then you and your family will not have to worry about anything."
Dibian didn't know Anna's plight, and the threats that civilians would encounter were indeed gone after becoming a noble.
Of course there are conflicts among nobles, but the lives of nobles are much more valuable than those of common people. If someone among the common people dies, it won't cause any trouble at all, but when the nobles fight against each other, they rarely lose lives.
Therefore, for ordinary civilians, becoming a one-star mage can lead a lifetime of worry-free life. But considering the gold coins it takes to become a mage, very few people can take this path.
Anna is talented and has the perseverance and courage to face difficulties without flinching. Every time she thinks of the threat posed by the devil, she only feels depressed for a short while and then gets excited again.
Once she was just a commoner who couldn't find a job, but now, not only did she have an enviable job as a maid in the Earl's Mansion, but she had also secretly become a mage apprentice. And all this only took a month.
Anna is full of hope for her future, and she believes that she can definitely solve the troubles caused by demons and demons.
Because she was worried about little Evan, Anna didn't study for too long today. After practicing several lighting operations, she said goodbye to Dibian and went home.
Guy was taking care of little Evan in the bedroom. Anna saw little Evan lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his face very red.
"Mom, how is little Evan?" Anna quickly sat down by the bed and touched little Evan's head. His forehead was hot. Anna retracted her hand after touching it, secretly shocked.
"He was fine in the morning, but he had a fever again in the afternoon." Guy's eyes were a little red. "I went to the doctor and bought a tube of medicine. I gave it to him before, but he never got better."
Civilians had to carry themselves through their illnesses. Doctors' medicines were too expensive, costing at least one silver coin per tube, and they were not always effective.
Anna touched little Evan's forehead again.
If she has an affinity for the light element, if she can learn the Holy Healing Technique... But can little Evan wait
Guy said: "Anna, if little Evan is not well tomorrow, I will go to the church to ask for holy water. The goddess is so kind and will definitely bless little Evan. He is still so young, how can I let him go to the Kingdom of God now? "
Anna felt uncomfortable hearing this, but there was no such thing as a kingdom of God.
"If we can call on Father Louis, we should be able to save little Evan. His holy healing skills are very powerful. I saw him curing Master Parrish." Anna said.
Guy's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly and said: "I will go to the church tomorrow to pray and beg Father Louis to save little Evan."
Ana nodded and said nothing more.
Later, when she saw that the fever on little Evan's forehead had subsided a little, she went back to her bedroom.
That night, Adele, with red eyes, still cuddled up next to Anna and almost choked herself to sleep.
Anamo, on the other hand, memorized the words and meanings of the sixty ways to kill monsters that the devil taught her today, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
The next morning, little Evan's condition seemed a little better. Anna saw that he had eaten something, and called her weakly and warmly. He smiled brightly at her with red eyes and almost shed tears.
Anna asked Guy to take care of little Evan at home, while she went to the Earl's Palace kitchen to take a short half-day leave and asked Rebecca to take care of the son for her temporarily.
Rebekah heard that Anna's brother was ill and understandingly allowed her leave.
Today was salary day, so Anna received her share of salary and left the Earl's Mansion to go to the Blue Stone City Church.
Anna has not been to church yet. By working at Earls Court, she never came when her parents took her younger siblings to church services, and she was somewhat resistant to praying to so-called gods.
But Father Louis of the church had real healing powers.
Today is not a Sunday, and there are not many civilians coming in and out of the church gate.
Anna approached the luxurious church and when she looked up, she could see the painting on the dome. The painting was about the story of the God of Creation handing over his authority to the Goddess.
There are rows of benches in the church, which are very similar to what Anna saw in the TV series. Many civilians are sitting on the benches scatteredly, closing their eyes and praying. In the corner of the church, a priest wearing black robes was patiently answering the believers' questions.
Anna walked over and stood at the end of the line, waiting for the line to move forward a little bit. At the same time, she heard other believers calling the priest, Pastor Arthur.
After waiting for almost half an hour, it was Anna's turn. She quickly explained the situation to Pastor Arthur, and then made a request: "I want to ask Father Louis to save my brother."
Pastor Arthur showed compassion and said calmly: "The goddess has been protecting your brother. If he goes to the Kingdom of God, it is because the goddess loves him so much that she will call him to meet him in the Kingdom of God. You don't have to Too sad.”
Anna almost wanted to jump and curse, hell, summon him to the Kingdom of God to meet him, she just wanted little Evan to live!
In a social environment where almost everyone believed in the goddess of light, and in a church, Anna did not dare to show any disrespect to the goddess, and quickly said: "Pastor Arthur, I know that little Evan will live well in the Kingdom of God. But he is still so young, and my family is reluctant to let him leave now. The goddess is so kind and will definitely not take little Evan away so soon!"
Pastor Arthur's face became a little more serious, and he reprimanded: "Don't speculate on God! The goddess has her own arrangements for everything in the world."
It’s obvious that you were still speculating on God just now!
Anna took a deep breath, but did not dare to refute the other party, for fear of being accused of being disrespectful to the goddess or even a heretic.
Although to them she was indeed a heretic.
Seeing that Anna stopped talking, Pastor Arthur's expression softened. He scooped out some water from a small glass bottle from the altar nearby, handed it over, and said compassionately: "Take this holy water back. The goddess is kind and will do something for you." The best arrangement.”
Anna took the holy water and held it tightly. The surrounding believers looked at her with envy, but she only felt it was ironic.
But she still had to say with gratitude: "Thank you goddess for your kindness!"
Then she turned around and left without looking back.
Anna took the holy water and went straight to Pomegranate Lane. She avoided the crowd and walked into the ruins.
During the day, Dibian always hid further inside. In order to recover as soon as possible, he would meditate throughout the day. After hearing the movement outside, he instantly broke away from meditation.
Then, he heard Anna's soft call: "Dibian, it's me."
This was the first time Anna came here during the day. Dibian knew that she worked as a maid in the Earl's Mansion and would not have time to come during the day. He walked out quickly and asked with concern: "Ana, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished asking, a glass bottle was stuffed into his hand. Anna asked eagerly: "Is this holy water really useful?"
Even if Pastor Anna Arthur is dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude, what if? What if holy water actually works
Dibian picked up the holy water and looked at it. He knew it was something from the church.
"It's just plain water," DiBian said. "Typically, a little bit of sugar is added."
Therefore, people who have drank holy water will say that the holy water has a faint sweetness, and after drinking the holy water, they will feel really good. On the one hand, this is because in this era of scarcity, civilians simply cannot afford sugar. The physiological pleasure that sugar brings to them is stronger than that of modern people who eat too much sugar. On the other hand, it is the placebo effect of holy water.
Anna said disappointedly: "It's really just sugar water."
Dibian and Anna often chatted, so he knew about little Evan's illness. He said, "Have you gone to the church to see the pastor?"
Although he has been arrested by the Holy See, Dibian will not belittle the healing power of priests.
"I found it. She said it was all arranged by the goddess, so she only gave me this." Anna said weakly. She took back the glass bottle and smiled at Dibian, "Don't worry, I will definitely save Xiao Ai." Wen. Do you know the magic circuit of Holy Healing?"
Dibian looked at Anna and said unbearably: "I know... but no matter how talented you are, you can't learn it in a few days."
After he finished speaking, probably because he was afraid that Anna wouldn't believe it, he drew the magic circuit of the Holy Healing Technique on the ground.
This is a complex circuit nested by dozens of basic spell circuits. It takes at least several years of study to become a one-star priest before you can use it proficiently. Anna, a mage apprentice, wants to learn it in a few days. It is wishful thinking.
Anna left the ruins with a heavy heart and returned home. She gave the holy water to Guy. Sugar water was just sugar water. It had a placebo effect at least.
Guy seemed to see hope for a moment, and quickly fed the holy water to little Evan, with a look of happiness and hope on his face: "The goddess will definitely bless little Evan, and he will get better soon."
Anna saw little Evan breathing rapidly, but she was not as optimistic as Guy.
She has one last resort.
Anna said: "Mom, I only took half a day's leave, and now it's time to go back to the Earl's Palace."
Guy nodded and said, "Go back quickly. Don't worry, I'm here. Little Evan drank the holy water again, and he will get better soon."
Ana forced a smile, turned around and went out.
The road to Earl's Palace seemed longer than before.
She had seen the devil use the Holy Healing Technique to treat wounds, and she knew that the devil could save little Evan.
However, it can be done, whether he is willing or not is another matter.
She didn't know what she would face, but she had to try.
Back at the Earl's Mansion, Anna went to find Rebecca to cancel her vacation, and then returned to the small building where the Son lived.
The devil was leaning on the bed, facing the window, with a delicate and charming profile. Hearing the movement, he turned his head and looked over.
Anna walked over slowly, and she heard the devil ask: "Did you ask for leave this morning?"
She lowered her head and said, "Yes, my brother is very ill. I went to the church to ask for holy water for him."
Lotgar sneered, and the words he said were completely inconsistent with his current status as the Holy Son: "What's the use of that kind of thing?"
Anna took a deep breath nervously. Just as she was about to pretend to argue with him about the magical effect of holy water, she heard him say very casually: "Bring him here, I can save him."
Anna suddenly raised her head to look at him, waiting for him to propose the condition that would remain the same in several different bodies.
But Rotgar frowned: "You still want me to go to your house in person?"
Anna shook her head quickly, with an excited and joyful smile on her face: "No, please wait a moment, Lord Holy Son, I will bring him here right now!"
She lifted her legs and left, but when she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn around and praised sincerely: "Lord Holy Son, you are such a good person." At least he was at this moment.
Then she ran out happily.
