Rotgar has already set his sights on Dibian, but he doesn't want to possess him immediately.
The reason also lies in Anna.
Although he now knew that Anna had hidden a lot from him, he didn't know how much she had hidden.
Some things that puzzled him before seemed to have explanations now.
From the beginning, Anna had no interest in the sons of city lords, mages, and saints in the Earl's Mansion. She seemed to be playing tricks on "them".
However, she did not get any benefit from it. When he was still Ulysses, he tried to give her a bag of gold coins, but she confiscated it.
She doesn't want money or fame, and now she's running away with a mage...
It turns out what she wanted was to become a mage.
Rotgar remembered that Anna once told him when he was still Ulysses that she wanted to be his student. At that time, he thought she was saying this to deliberately get close to him. Now it seems that it is the other way around. The purpose of getting close to him is actually to become a mage.
Including later becoming literate, they were all preparing to become a mage.
Rotgar did not expect that a commoner woman would start planning to become a mage when she was illiterate. She was indeed a very ambitious woman, but it was not in the same direction as the "ambition" he thought in the past.
At first, she deliberately fell in front of Parrish's car just to get close to the mage and give herself a chance to become a mage.
It's no wonder that none of his previous methods worked. She seemed particularly concerned about literacy.
The man named Dibian was probably someone she met later. After listening to their conversation, she helped him when he was injured, so he repaid her by teaching her spells.
With unprecedented patience, Rotgar quietly hid in the dark and observed Anna and Dibian.
Anna smelled the meat and said, "Isn't this delicious?"
But then she thought about it, roasted human meat also has this aroma. As long as it is meat, the aromatic hydrocarbon compounds produced by burning fat will always have such a similar aroma.
Dibian also looked at the magic mutton on the fire with some anticipation. There were only two of them, so they ended up cutting off only the upper brain and tenderloin and discarding the rest. Afraid that the remaining meat would cause other monsters to cause trouble, the two deliberately stayed away from each other before setting up a barbecue.
The two of them picked up the branches and came back, put the meat on, and Anna lit the fire, turning and roasting it. Dibian has experience sleeping in the wild. Although he has never eaten Warcraft meat, he has eaten ordinary meat. He also brought coarse salt and spices with him. He marinated it with salt before roasting and sprinkled it on halfway through the roasting. The spice powder is roasted by the fire, and the fragrance suddenly overflows.
In order to roast the meat into small pieces, Anna picked up a skewer that was almost roasted, blew it to cool it, pulled off a small piece of magic lamb, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
At first, Anna was a little wary, always ready to spit it out if it didn't taste good. But after chewing for a while, her eyes lit up and she said to Dibian: "It tastes good! But it's not like roast lamb, like roast lamb." Roast beef. My skewer is ready, you eat this first!"
Anna handed the kebab in her hand to Dibian. Dibian took it, pulled off a piece and put it into his mouth, with the same expression as Anna: "It tastes really good."
"Really? I think the person who ate the Warcraft meat in the first place was not good at cooking, so it tasted particularly unpalatable." Anna put more raw meat skewers on the fire, intoxicated by the aroma of the meat.
Dibian smiled and nodded. He also thought it might be a problem with the type of magic beast. Maybe this kind of magic mutton is naturally delicious. However, seeing that Anna was so happy, he didn't need to say this. He just complimented her and said, "Anna, your barbecue skills are really good."
Who doesn't like to hear good things
Anna said with a smile: "Then if I bake more, I may not be able to encounter the magic sheep that I bumped into so stupidly in the future."
Rotgar, who was despising Debian's overly obvious flattery, sneered in his heart when he heard this. Of course, how could he give them barbecue again!
After Anna and Dibian happily ate, they put out the fire, buried it with soil, and continued on their way.
Because of the magic sheep, the two of them were far away from the line of life and death.
Dibian briefly explained his plan for the next trip: "It's not far enough from Blue Stone City. We won't stay in the village for the first few days. When we are far away, we can find a village to stay at night."
In fact, they shouldn't have been making barbecue just now, it would be easy for others to find out, but he saw that Anna was in high spirits, and it was close to the line between life and death, and he was not without fighting ability, so he didn't say anything and just followed it. Her idea was to set up a barbecue.
Of course Anna had no objection, she just quietly counted her money.
In addition to the six gold coins borrowed from Dibian, the rest came from her first month's salary and the "flowers" given to her by Parrish, leaving a total of ten silver coins and more than twenty copper coins.
She was a little lucky that all this happened after she got a month's salary, otherwise she would be depressed to death if she had worked for nothing for a month. Although Parrish also gave her money, one yard was counted as the other and could not be counted together.
If she saves money, these silver and copper coins will be enough for her to use on the road for a month.
This night, the two of them camped out on the edge of the line between life and death. Fortunately, they found a big dry tree hole. They spread a large leaf inside and slept.
Di Bien originally wanted to stay vigil throughout the night, but Anna refused. She strongly requested that the two of them stay vigil for half the night. Di Bien couldn't get over her, so he had to agree.
Anna wasn't sleepy yet, so she took away the first half of the night's vigil and asked Dibian to sleep in a tree hole.
The vigil was boring, so Anna took tree branches and wrote various words silently on the dirt. She was worried that she would forget it, so she memorized the words every day. She did not have a vocabulary book, so she could only recite the words several times while they were still in her memory to deepen her memory.
When Mo memorized it almost, she took a posture and started meditating.
She has gradually been able to feel the existence of her own spiritual power. It is like a fire, burning quietly in her consciousness. Every day, she can subtly feel that the fire is getting bigger. As Dibian said, even if she did not meditate, after she felt the natural elements, the flame representing spiritual power slowly grew, and her meditation greatly accelerated this process.
Anna ended her meditation when she heard DiBian getting up, and went to sleep with him.
The next morning, the two got up and continued on their way.
On the way, Dibian would tell Anna some things related to mage spells, as well as all kinds of interesting and strange things that happened between him and his teacher during their escape journey, which made Anna fascinated.
Among the interesting or dangerous stories, there are the holy and majestic Knights Templar, the holy and compassionate priests, the cunning and greedy lords, and the ignorant villagers...
Anna felt that if she could dress as a mage from the beginning, then she would have started her adventure long ago. It was exciting just thinking about it.
In the next few days, the two of them traveled during the day and slept in the open at night. As Anna's proficiency improved, the lighting and detection techniques could be used easily, but they were limited by her mental power and the detection range of the detection technique. Still only about ten feet. She could only see such a short distance with her eyes, so the detection technique was still useless to her at present.
Under Dibian's care, Anna became familiar with other basic circuits, and then he began to teach her more simple spells, which could be learned during the mage apprenticeship.
Because she wanted to have the ability to protect herself as soon as possible, Anna focused on spells related to the fire element and whether other natural elements were compatible. She planned to go to Black Cloud City. Five of the six gold coins were used to test the affinity of the elements.
After five days of traveling like this, since there was no sign of Father Louis from Blue Stone City pursuing them, Anna and Dibian later began to stop sleeping in the open.
The five days of living in the open made Anna feel uncomfortable, so after finding a scattered village, she bought a set of men's clothes from the local villagers to make it easier to travel.
Five more days later, Dibian and Anna arrived at the border between the Principality of Ingoli and the Principality of France. There is no military garrison here like in later generations. Because of the strong command of the Holy See, the principalities have not had wars for nearly a hundred years, and they can travel freely between cities and between countries.
However, the commerce in this world is not developed, and the overall climate is relatively mild. There has been no large-scale famine. The mobility of the people is not high, and ordinary civilians do not have the need or ability to travel far.
Therefore, Anna and Dibian met few travelers along the way. Of course, this has something to do with them walking along the line of life and death.
After crossing the border, Anna and Dibian arrived in the Principality of France.
After arriving in the Principality of France, Anna and Di Bien relaxed a little. However, Di Bien's injuries were not fully healed yet, and there were dark lines on his face, which made it difficult to interact with people. Sometimes when passing through the city, they would Anna went into town to do some shopping.
Anna has seen many cities and villages along the way. Because it is similar to the Principality of Yingoli, the customs and customs here are not much different from those of Blue Stone City. However, she basically does not dare to go deep into it for fear of getting into something. Things. Dibian still carries the name of a fallen mage. As long as the Holy See can reach out, it doesn't matter if she changes to another country. She doesn't dare to keep a high profile.
After walking like this for nearly fifteen days, Black Cloud City was in sight.
Anna was a little reluctant to think of being separated from Dibian. Dibian is a very serious and responsible teacher. He brought her, who was new to the mage world, into a relatively qualified mage apprentice. The day before, Dibian told Anna that she would take a one-star test for her current spell casting level. There was no problem with the mage at all, but he still had some theoretical knowledge that he was not familiar with. For example, his teacher didn't understand the making of potions, and neither did he. Therefore, it was more appropriate for her to take the exam after systematically studying the theory at the Mage Association.
That night, because there happened to be no suitable village, the two of them slept in the wild. Anna stayed vigil first. Just after reciting the words and preparing to meditate, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her. She couldn't help but turn around and said: "We haven't arrived yet. It’s time, Dibby…”
Although it was night, the moonlight was very bright, and Anna could see at a glance the devil hidden in Dibian's body!
Anna had actually been psychologically prepared for the devil to possess Dibian's body for a long time. From the day she met Dibian, she felt that this was a possibility.
But she had not seen the devil for more than twenty days since her escape. She was secretly happy that the devil had let her go. As expected, she was still too sweet.
After her one-month experience at Earl's Mansion, she knew that such a good thing would never happen to her. It must be that her soul is too delicious, and this demon refuses to let her go.
Now, the devil knew that she was learning spells, but he didn't turn the table over. It seemed that her initial inference was not wrong. The devil didn't care whether she learned spells or not, because she couldn't threaten him if she learned spells.
Because she knew that after the demon left, Dibian would lose his memory, but nothing would happen to him. Although Anna was angry at the demon's actions at the moment, she would not be devastated.
In the past, he possessed people she was unfamiliar with, but today he possessed Dibian, intending to use Dibian's relationship with her to deceive her. It was so despicable!
Anna doesn't want the devil to occupy Dibian's body for too long. Dibian is such a good person, this is simply a defilement!
Because she knew that Dibian would lose his memory during the period of being possessed, she planned to do something to force the demon to leave Dibian's body. When she arrived at Black Cloud City, she didn't know anyone in Black Cloud City anyway, so he could possess whomever he wanted.
Anna quickly adjusted her expression and asked doubtfully: "Dibian, why don't you just sleep for a while."
Rotgar, wearing the shell of Dibian, called on Dibian's memory and showed a gentle and slightly shy smile: "I can't sleep."
Rotgar has been observing Anna and Dibian for more than twenty days. The Dibian he possessed this time is an acquaintance of Anna. He doesn't want her to see that something is wrong, so he is more serious than the past few times. , completely restored Dibian's expression.
Dibian's injury is now completely healed, there are no dark lines on his face anymore, and his young and handsome face has his usual gentle smile.
But Anna became more and more angry as she watched. If she couldn't see the devil in Dibian's body, wouldn't she be deceived by him? How hateful!
"Then it's you who will keep watch." Anna stood up with a smile and walked towards the leaf bedding that the two of them had laid out before.
But Rotgar grabbed Anna's arm, looked into her eyes and asked, "We are going to be separated in the next two days. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Anna thought to herself, this stalker and voyeur had indeed eavesdropped on what she and DiBian were talking about! Fortunately, she was cautious and did not bring up any topic about demons in front of Dibian.
Anna looked at the demon pretending to be puzzled and asked, "What?"
Rotgar continued to invoke DiBian's slightly shy expression, looked at her and said, "I like you and can't bear to be separated from you."
Anna looked surprised.
Rotgar continued: "You come with me to see the teacher. If he knows that you are the person I like, he will protect you together. You can also learn spells better by following the teacher."
Anna heard the subtext of the devil's words and thought that the devil had really heard a lot.
She suddenly grabbed Dibian's collar and pressed him against a nearby tree trunk. Although she could only look at him from bottom to top due to her height, she was full of momentum.
"Dibian, I hope you are not mistaken." Anna looked at the demon in Dibian's body coldly and mocked, "I am going with you because I need your protection and gold coins. Shouldn't you Do you think this means I like you?"
This was a development that Rotgar never expected.
In the past twenty days, he saw Dibian and Anna talking and laughing every day, never quarreling, and the relationship between the two was obviously getting deeper and deeper. In Dibian's memory, he could see that during the past twenty days, he had peeked at Anna a lot during breaks.
And because of this, he decided to possess him now. If it were too late, the two of them would be separated.
But, what is going on with this thing in front of me
When Rotgar was doubting his life, Anna did not stop what she was supposed to do. She raised her hand and patted the devil's face lightly, and said frivolously: "You do have a good-looking face, and you have great strength." It's not bad, but I can't even look down on the four-star mage and the Holy Son. Do you think I will like you? You still want me to escape with you and hide in Tibet and suffer hardships? Do you think I'm stupid?"
After saying that, Anna let go of Dibian, clapped her hands and said, "We will separate tomorrow. For the sake of helping me before, I will pretend that nothing happened tonight, and you can go and keep vigil."
After saying that, Anna walked to the leaf bed and lay down with her back to the devil.
Rotgar looked at Anna's back in silence, replaying Anna's queen-like tone and expression in his mind, and his expression was really confused.
What is going on with this woman? !
