Rotgar held down the note before Anna pushed the note back completely, stared at her and said coldly: "Look at what's written first!"
He initially felt angry that he was being targeted. After all, he had never received an unexpected "rejection" from Anna, but he thought of Anna's obsession with magic and endured it.
Was it because he interrupted her spell study that she said "no" without even looking at him
He added: "You won't regret it after reading it."
Hearing what the devil said, Anna didn't want to see it even more.
If the devil thinks she won't regret it, then she probably will.
Just as she was about to express her refusal again, she was startled when the devil suddenly stood up.
What are you doing, do you want to hit her
Lotgar suddenly stood up, pulled up his chair and left, as if he was just here to deliver a note.
He heard Anna's voice from behind: "Master Raymond!"
He paused, and his mood immediately improved a lot. The corners of his mouth even raised slightly. She was not so hopeless.
He tilted his head slightly arrogantly, as if he was not the one who was so angry after being rejected for no reason.
Anna stopped the devil, and when he looked over, she pointed at the book on the devil's desk and said, "You will put the book back on the bookshelf after you finish it."
Rotgar: "..."
He was so angry that he wanted to burn down the library!
Afraid that he really couldn't control his actions, he quickly turned back his gaze, ignored Anna's words, and left quickly.
Anna felt inexplicably good when she saw that the devil seemed to be angry and walked away.
She reached out and took the book that the devil had just pretended to read. She flipped through it and found it quite interesting. She remembered the title of the book and prepared to read it later. Then she got up and found the bookshelf for this type of book and put it on the temporary bookcase to be sorted next to it. , waiting for the staff to return.
When she returned to her seat, Natalie was staring at the note curiously, and her eyes almost penetrated the note. Seeing Anna come back, Natalie gave her two thumbs up.
Natalie felt that Anna was so brave just now!
He was the son of a viscount and a prominent figure in the Mage Association. He was very talented. Everyone said that if he could keep it up, he might become a five-star mage in the future.
But even for such a person, Anna dared to be merciless. It's not that Anna doesn't know about Master Raymond, she has already told Anna about it, and it doesn't matter that Anna obviously knows.
She said why she never thought Anna was like a commoner. It turned out to be because of this. When facing nobles, Anna did not have the same disdain or awe as other commoner mages. Anna regarded all nobles as commoners, or in other words, regarded herself as a noble. Treat other nobles equally.
"Are you really not going to read it?" Natalie pointed at the note and said in a very low voice. She was really curious as to what exactly would be written in the note that Master Raymond gave to Anna.
Originally, when the devil was around, Anna was determined never to read the note, but now that he was gone, she felt that it didn't matter if she looked at it.
She was indeed curious to know what he wanted to do with this trick that no elementary school student could do anymore.
Anna brought the note to herself and opened it.
I'm going to hunt monsters in the line of life and death. I'm short of a handyman. You seem to be very idle. Do you want to go
Anna: “…”
She has no time to spare! You are obviously very busy, okay
Anna really didn't expect that the little note given to her by the devil actually contained such content. Seeing Natalie poking her head, eager to know the content of the note, she directly showed the note to Natalie.
Natalie couldn't wait to take it, and she was confused after reading the content of the note.
She thought the note was from Master Raymond asking Anna to go somewhere to play... Although going to the line of life and death was considered an "invitation to go somewhere to play", it was too dangerous!
She read the note carefully for a while, then looked up at Anna, and said quietly and firmly: "Anna, I think Master Raymond must like you."
Otherwise, why would you invite Anna, a mage apprentice, to go to the line of life and death with you? Obviously as long as he opens his mouth, there will be many one-star and even two-star mages willing to do odd jobs for him. And Anna has only been in the association for two days!
In the past, Natalie had always thought that Master Raymond was an arrogant aristocrat who had high ambitions and didn't bother to have any interaction with civilians. She really didn't expect that Master Raymond would lower his stature to pursue Anna like this.
She suddenly felt that Master Raymond looked cute like this!
"Haha, you must like me to death." Anna made a pun, holding her chin up and thinking about the devil's intentions.
He definitely didn't want to kill her while he was in trouble. If he wanted to kill her, he could always, but he never did. She had rejected him so many times and he hadn't made a move yet. She thought he might have been a Ninja Turtle in his previous life.
Perhaps because of this understanding, she became much more arrogant when facing the devil. As long as his anger is controlled within a certain range, she can annoy him as much as possible... Of course, if he seems to want to flip the table, she will immediately give in, but it's not like he had no intention of flipping the table just now.
He looked angry, but he had no murderous intention towards her.
Therefore, the devil probably wanted to take her to the line of life and death to "please" her.
If he wants to propose successfully, he must win her favor. If he wants to win her favor, of course he must satisfy her needs. What she is short of now is money, and she guesses the devil will know it, but she has never received it when he gave her money directly before, so he can only do the next best thing, take her to play World of Warcraft and let her complete the task "by herself" to get commissions .
This trick of saving the country in a curve is actually quite good. At least if she didn't have to read all the books on the list now, she would actually be willing to do so.
The Grand Duke of the Abyss is taking care of World of Warcraft. Why doesn't she go to such a good thing
"Anna, do you want to agree to him?" Natalie looked at Anna with bright eyes, curious and solemn on her face, as if she was asking Anna if she wanted to agree to marry him.
"Of course not. Have you forgotten how many books we have to read?" Anna gave Natalie a cool look.
If she wasn't still in the library, Natalie would have wanted to hold her head and scream. She also wanted to go around the line of life and death under the protection of the two-star mage. If Anna followed the mage Raymond, she would definitely take him with her. Fuck her!
The hope of escaping from the suffering of studying was shattered, and Natalie had no choice but to droop her head and start reading listlessly.
"I'm going to test you after reading this."
Anna's words, which were neither serious nor serious, instantly brought back Natalie's distracted attention. She quickly forced herself to concentrate, widening her eyes and trying to force all the knowledge into her mind.
Ana looked at Natalie's appearance and shook her head helplessly. She touched Natalie's head and whispered: "Every effort you make now is to escape from the clutches of that old man." Force. Natalie, you can do this."
Natalie did not raise her head, feeling the warmth and strength on top of her head. She nodded vigorously, and her heart was instantly filled with hope.
Yes, she can do it! With Anna helping her, she can definitely do it!
Before Anna immersed herself in studying again, she folded the note and put it aside, waiting to throw it away after finishing the book.
Anyway, the devil didn't know that she had read the note, so she just pretended that she hadn't read it, and there was no need to reply to him specifically.
If he is waiting for her answer... then it is none of her business, just wait to die!
Anna was very satisfied with the learning progress this afternoon. If it were those textbooks from college, it would definitely not be possible to earn over 10,000 yuan in one afternoon, but the books on the list were not thick, and some of them were knowledge that she had already known and memorized, so it seemed very fast.
Natalie has also completed her learning progress. She has been wandering around the level of mage apprentice for many years. Many basic knowledge has actually become long-term memory and is difficult to forget.
After Natalie completed the quiz, the two left the library.
As soon as they left the library, they saw something big happening in the association. Some people were walking in a hurry, while others were discussing with their companions while walking. Everyone was heading in the same direction.
A martial arts arena.
After listening for a while, Anna said: "Let's go take a look too. It will be good for us to see more actual combat."
"Okay, okay!" Natalie, who was extremely excited after hearing what others were talking about, nodded quickly, pulled Anna and ran away.
From the passing mage, Anna learned that a three-star mage named Hanson York had an appointment with Raymond. The two had already gone to the martial arts field and were about to start fighting.
In this world, the level of a mage is determined through assessment, rather than any mutation in the body. Therefore, there will not be a crushing effect between different realms like in the world of Xianxia.
Of course, there can still be a crushing effect between the mage apprentice and the two- and three-star mage.
The devil-possessed Raymond is already a two-star mage who is preparing for the three-star mage exam. There is no chance of winning against a three-star mage.
Anna knew that the demon could use the possessed person's abilities after being possessed, but it seemed to be limited by the possessed person's own abilities. Therefore, she guessed that the demon's current strength was suppressed to between two and three stars.
In other words, if the three-star mage named Hanson York was more powerful, she might be able to see the demon beaten violently.
Therefore, the two thoughts are equally divided between watching an actual battle between mages and wanting to see a demon being beaten violently.
The battle between Raymond Byledeford and Hanson York has spread widely, but the number of mages left in the Mages Association is not many, usually around fifty. At this moment, almost half of them are here. Standing sparsely around the ring where the two were fighting in the martial arts arena.
There are a total of five arenas in the martial arts arena. Different arenas are used for competitions between mages of different levels. There are many magic circuits nested around the arena. After the competition starts, a mage will activate the spell circuits to prevent attacks outside the arena. The impact.
Therefore, there is a fee for the martial arts arena, two gold coins per game.
Anna and Natalie arrived just in time, and the two sides just happened to stand on the stage.
The person standing on the left is a demon that Anna is very familiar with, and the person standing on the right is a man in his late thirties. He is slightly stooped, with a gloomy expression on his expressionless face, and the corners of his slightly drooped eyes seem to be watching. It's not pleasing to anyone.
"Master Hansen doesn't usually interact with people very much. I've always found him a bit scary, even more scary than the fallen mage." Natalie whispered.
Although the Mage Association is a relatively independent organization from the Holy See, as the entire world believes in the goddess of light, the books in the Mage Association library also refer to the light element as Holy Light, and refer to mages who only use dark spells as Holy Light. Become a fallen mage.
Most fallen mages have a pure affinity for darkness. If they want to practice magic, they have no choice but to use dark spells. The dark element is just one of the affinity elements, and is generally less likely to be persecuted by the Holy See.
In fact, many people in the Mage Association have an affinity for the dark element, but as long as they don't use dark spells in front of priests, no one will care. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two major organizations, the Holy See and the Mage Association.
Mage apprentices like Natalie have been followers of the goddess since childhood and do not understand the higher-level mage world, so they are afraid and hostile to the mysterious group of fallen mages.
Of course Anna would not correct Natalie's words. She just knew that the fallen mage was not actually a devil.
The real devil is beside her.
Her eyes fell on "Raymond", and she didn't know if her perception was amazing, but the devil actually looked over and noticed that it was her. He even curled his lips and showed a smile that seemed to be proud and mocking.
Anna knew that the devil must have misunderstood something, and she didn't bother to respond.
Instead, Natalie grabbed Anna's arm and whispered excitedly: "Master Raymond looked at Anna from us! He is smiling at you!"
Anna pulled off Natalie's arm, looked at her and said, "What are we here for?"
"Watching the battle?"
"It's good that you know. Watch carefully. After the battle, I will ask questions." Anna said, although she didn't know what to ask, and she had zero actual combat experience. She said this just to make Natalie concentrate while watching the battle. a little.
"... Got it!" Natalie pouted dissatisfiedly, but agreed.
The battle between Raymond and Hansen began under the spotlight.
Raymond majored in gold spells, and it was rare that his whole person complemented his major spells, as sharp as a blade.
Surprisingly, Hansen also majored in metal magic.
From the words of the onlookers, Anna heard more news. It was Hansen who took the initiative to challenge Raymond. Both of them used gold spells. Sometimes there would be unavoidable people who said that everyone was of the gold spell. Raymond De is like a Templar knight, and Hansen is like a servant who cleans his horse. Who can bear to hear this
Therefore, when Raymond was about to be promoted to three stars, Hansen finally couldn't help but ask Raymond for a fight.
As Hansen took the lead in throwing a golden arrow as a test, the fight began.
After throwing out a tentative attack, he rushed over. Because he also trained in wind spells, his movements were accelerated, and his posture actually felt a bit elegant.
It was just that he rushed to Rotgar. The metal element in his right hand had just wrapped around his fist, but before he could swing it out, Rotgar, who had expected it, raised his long leg and kicked it out.
Rotgar's toes were also covered with golden gold elements.
Different from the soft gold in the real world, gold elements in natural elements have sharp intrinsic properties. The gold elements that appear to be flatly wrapped on the toes are actually sharp on the surface. If the kick is kicked firmly, Hansen might be defeated immediately.
But Hansen blocked it at the last moment with a hand wrapped in gold elements. After being kicked away, he used the wind element to adjust his posture in mid-air and landed steadily. But as soon as he stood firm, a sharp wind sound followed. Then, he quickly used the wind to lean back, avoiding another fatal blow, stepped out, and used the wind to stand firm.
At this moment, Hansen has reached the edge of the ring.
Rotgar did not take advantage of the situation to pursue.
He had been rejected by Anna inexplicably before, and he was full of anger. Someone came to him to beat him for nothing. Why did he want to decide the winner so quickly
Besides, Anna was watching from the audience, and he wanted to show her how strong he was. Isn't she obsessed with magic? Seeing how powerful he is, come and learn from him!
For a moment, he thought about whether his true form was stronger and could appear in front of Anna, but her caution when facing Balan made him know that this was not feasible. He was a devil. Anna was not tempted when faced with an outstanding man of the same race. When faced with a powerful demon of a different kind, instead of admiring him because of admiration, it would be better to say that she would try to stay away from him out of fear.
Sometimes she is so timid. When he reveals his true identity on the day of his successful proposal and lets her know that all the people she meets who propose to her are him, her expression will be very interesting.
A sarcastic smile appeared in Rotgar's eyes, but his attention was still somewhat focused on Hansen.
Hansen's face became more gloomy, and he took the initiative to rush forward again.
Rotgar is like a cat teasing its prey. It can kill its prey easily, but it doesn't. It will only "play" slowly enough before giving up.
The strongest person in the audience was the three-star mage. He didn't quite notice Rotgar's teasing of Hansen. He thought that the two of them were really fighting back and forth, but Hansen was slightly at a disadvantage and wouldn't be able to fight immediately. Defeated.
But Hansen in the ring knew very well that he was completely suppressed by "Raymond". It seemed that he could almost attack "Raymond" every time, but the almost attack was like a chasm. Out of reach.
He thought he could crush Raymond today, but he didn't expect that he would be suppressed by Raymond in every aspect, and he was beaten so hard.
Seeing that there was a stalemate in the ring, the mages watching the show started chatting slowly, but Anna looked at the performance of the devil on the ring thoughtfully.
Is this how strong the devil is after being restrained? She always felt that compared to the fight she saw between the devil-possessed Son and Ulysses, this one was like an adult bullying a child.
Anna's wandering thoughts were suddenly dragged back to reality by a word. She heard someone around her saying "devil"!
Anna quickly listened carefully, and she heard two mages gossiping about the Hansen family.
The York family is a big family, not in terms of how high the title is, but in terms of the size of the family. Viscount York has three brothers. Except for Viscount York, his two younger brothers are both barons, and Hanson York is the son of Baron York.
Hanson's eldest uncle, Viscount York, only had two daughters. The eldest daughter died of illness a few years ago before she could get married, and the second daughter recently said she was ill.
If the second daughter also dies of illness, then the title of Viscount York is likely to be passed to Hansen, and he will make a lot of money. The two mages who are talking about this are envious for this reason. As for why they talk about demons...
There is also a rumor that the second daughter of Viscount Hansen is sick and cannot go out to meet people. However, it has been several months, so it’s okay if she doesn’t come out and no one visits her. Isn’t it suspicious? So many people believed that the second daughter of Viscount York actually eloped with someone, and of course some said she was kidnapped by the devil.
It is said that demons in the demon world are very seducing, especially human women. There are often legends about demons with goat horns abducting beautiful girls.
The two mages regarded the rumors as sexy stories and told them with gusto, but after hearing this, Anna subconsciously looked at the demon on the ring.
She and the demon formed a similar element as in the rumors, but apparently the demon was not interested in her beauty.
Rumors are just rumors after all. If the second daughter was really abducted by the devil, she might have had her soul harvested because she fell in love with the devil's handsomeness and agreed to his proposal!
At this time, Rotgar kicked Hansen away again. He still looked dapper and undisturbed, but Hansen was already in a mess, panting, and might collapse at any time.
Rotgar didn't like Hansen's strength at all, so he paid attention to Anna's reaction. After seeing Anna looking away in disgust after looking at him, he frowned and suddenly stopped. He kept his hands and knocked Hansen down neatly.
The people under the ring thought that the fight would last for a while, but they didn't expect that it ended so quickly and suddenly. They were stunned for a while, and they came to their senses when they saw "Raymond" walking down the ring.
Raymond won. Although the gap between the two-star mage and the three-star mage was actually not too big, and Raymond was also preparing for the three-star assessment, Hansen was older than Raymond and had almost ten years more accumulation. He was beaten down by Raymond just like that!
Raymond's actual combat ability is as amazing as his talent!
When Rotgar walked off the ring, he was still carrying an evil spirit, and the other mages subconsciously moved away to let him pass by.
Anna only realized that the battle in the ring was over when Natalie exclaimed. She was thinking just now, if the rumors about demons from all over the world kidnapping beautiful girls were true, then it was Balan who did it, or this demon. Did it happen, or were all the Dukes of the Abyss involved
When Natalie's exclamation brought Anna back to her thoughts, she noticed that the competition was over and that the demon had already got off the ring and seemed to be... walking towards her
Come on, she thinks the arrogant character before who didn't bother to pay attention to her is quite good!
Anna always felt that if she allowed the devil to get close to her, she would face a very embarrassing situation.
Therefore, she suddenly took Natalie's hand, turned around and ran away, saying as she ran, "Let's go eat, I'm going to faint from hunger!"
She didn't believe that the devil could still wear Raymond's shell and play with her in the Mages Association, chasing after each other!
Natalie was pulled up and staggered, and she followed Anna's footsteps in a daze. Her heart was full of doubts. Didn't she say that she would be tested after the battle? She was looking very seriously just now!
Rotgar stopped, watched Anna go away, frowned, and didn't even want to say a word for a while.
He thought she was showing something by coming to see him compete with Hansen. Could it be that he had misunderstood
Why is she running so fast? He won't hit her!
Rotgar felt gloomy and turned around to look at the mages: "Is there anyone else who wants to fight with me?"
Rotgar's act of "letting go" just now gave many mages the wrong impression. Upon hearing this, a three-star mage immediately stood up eagerly.
Rotgar smiled coldly, his eyes ferocious.
He can't hit Anna, but he doesn't have to hold back on these people!
