Anna doesn't know how much time she has left. At present, it seems that this devil is quite patient. As long as she coaxes him a little and dangles a carrot in front of him, she will have time to develop slowly...
However, this demon is not stupid. He just lacks one piece of information, the most important information, so he can only be coaxed and played by her. So, as long as he didn't know that she had seen through him, there would still be fun in this matter.
The time she can delay will most likely not be enough for her to upgrade to a five-star mage, but as long as she doesn't give up, what if there is a turn of events along the way
Every time she rejected the devil, he would change his body to attack her, which annoyed her, so after rejecting her this time, Anna planned to teach the devil how to chase girls.
Of course, you will definitely not be able to catch her if you chase her using the method she taught.
Rotgar woke up when Anna refused. He shouldn't be so eager.
But just now, there was an inexplicable intuition telling him to end this matter as soon as possible, otherwise... Because it was just a very vague feeling, when he now realized that he was too anxious, he put that vague intuition behind.
There are still more than three months left, there is plenty of time, what else can happen
Anna's reaction after rejecting this time was a little different from the past. Rotgar thought that his closeness to please some time ago and risking his life to save her this time had indeed worked. This proposal failed, as long as he was patient enough. , it will definitely succeed next time.
Rotgar disagreed with Anna's words: "I know you very well."
"Really?" Anna curled her lips and smiled a little slyly, "Then tell me, what is my favorite thing to eat?"
Rotgar was silent. he does not know.
"What's my favorite color? What's my favorite number? Do I always wear riding clothes because I like riding clothes, or do I wear riding clothes because they are convenient?"
Anna asked several questions in a row, all of which the devil could never answer, which made his "understanding" look very ridiculous.
"So, you don't understand me, and I don't understand you either." Anna concluded her statement, "And understanding each other, I think, is the most basic prerequisite for marriage. After understanding each other, there are also personality and habits. There are so many things to consider about whether you are compatible with your ideals, ideas, and family, and it is not easy to talk about marriage issues."
She didn't include the most important one of whether two people love each other. She felt that it was a bit dangerous and not very maneuverable. The other ones were more maneuverable. If the devil really did what she said, , then he has enough things to do, which will occupy his energy, lest he want to take shortcuts and ruin other people's bodies.
When Rotgar heard what Anna said, his first reaction was to frown.
Why is it so troublesome
At least in the memories of the humans he has possessed, the only thing about marriage is whether the family status is compatible. If so, it is up to both families to decide on the marriage partner.
He did always know that Anna was a little different from others, but were her conditions too different? He even felt that this was a way of making things difficult, a tactful rejection, making him give up.
But as soon as Rotgar came up with this idea, he saw Anna coming over excitedly and said: "Raymond, although I rejected your proposal, you risked your life and death to save me today. I am really touched, so I am willing to Give you and me a chance."
Rotgar raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Anna said: "First of all, we have to start by understanding each other, and this takes time. Although what happened today is very unfortunate, I think these few days of special training out of the city are very helpful in improving mutual understanding. If you come again in the future If you are hunting monsters near the line of life and death, you can call me again."
The first is to get free special training teachers.
Rotgar thought that these past few days had indeed brought him and Anna closer, and agreed with this.
When he first said he wanted to hunt monsters, it was just to find an opportunity to get close to her. If she liked it, she would come often.
It happened that he didn't feel bored during the special training with her these two days, but rather enjoyed it.
It would be better if that Natalie didn't come along.
Rotgar was unconsciously led away by Anna and asked: "What else?"
Anna said: "Secondly, we can also often read books together in the library. Sharing academic thinking together will help us understand each other's ideas and enhance mutual understanding."
The second is to get free academic teachers. Although this teacher's teaching skills are terrible, he is knowledgeable enough and she can take the lead in asking questions.
Rotgar was really not interested in those too simple contents, but thinking that this was what Anna herself said was one of the means to achieve the basic premise for her to agree to the proposal, he reluctantly nodded.
Anna said: "Finally, I hope that we can get along as friends before we get to know each other better. Please don't suddenly say marriage proposal on any occasion."
Rotgar had no intention of proposing before he was sure, so he agreed very readily.
Because it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, Anna felt that what she said might not be complete, but it didn't matter, she could always add it in the future.
What surprised her was that she didn't expect this demon to be so cooperative. It can be seen that... her repeated rejection of his proposal several times in the past has indeed dealt a huge blow to his self-confidence, and he is actually willing to listen to her teachings to "defeat" her.
Next, of course, he will find that through so much understanding of "actions", the relationship between the two of them has become more friendly and closer, and she has received free teaching guidance. Look, a win-win situation!
"Then you should lie down and rest for a while. I'll call you when we get to Black Cloud City." Anna looked worried.
Rotgar's injuries had stopped bleeding, but his overdrawn mental energy could only be recuperated slowly. Because he felt that his future actions had become very clear and he felt happy, and he did have a severe headache, he listened to Anna and lay down.
Anna sat across from the devil and looked at him with her chin propped up, unable to help but feel a little distracted.
She recalled that when she first saw this demon, she was so frightened that she was really close to fainting. Later, when she saw more of him, she became less and less afraid of him, and she became more and more daring to confront him. .
And now, she even dares to plot against him like this.
The crisis of her soul being harvested has always been hanging over her head. That is the part she cannot change, but she can control what she can change, the way she gets along with the devil, the method of using the devil... He doesn't know that she knows it has always been him, this is her The biggest advantage, she would never let him know that.
After bumping on the carriage for several hours, Black Cloud City arrived. Anna woke up the devil, and the carriage returned to the entrance of the association.
It was already dark at this time, but Anna thought about how the mage almost killed them today, and she couldn't wait until tomorrow to report again.
"Who is the person who harmed us?" Anna asked the devil.
"Hansen York." Rotgar said with a sneer, "There is no need to report to the association, I will make him pay the price."
As soon as Rotgar finished speaking, Anna suddenly held his hand. He was stunned, and his hand moved uncomfortably. Without moving away, he looked at Anna.
Anna said with a sincere and worried look: "I think it's better to report this matter to the association, otherwise it may turn into a fight between your families."
Anna looked like she was thinking about the devil, but actually what she was thinking about was that the devil couldn't cause any more trouble for her! If he goes to teach Hanson York a lesson and accidentally kills him and causes a big incident, she will definitely be implicated... She was implicated last time and had to flee Blue Stone City. Now she finally has a foothold. This is a place where she can learn spells. She doesn’t want to wander anymore!
Rotgar frowned. The situation was urgent, otherwise Hansen would have been killed by him.
But since this is Anna's request and his goal is to make her fall in love with him and agree to his proposal, why not make her happy
Just let Hansen dance around for a few more days, and it won't be too late to kill him after that.
"Okay, but if the association doesn't deal with Hansen, I will still take action." Rotgar said.
"Well, thank you!" Anna happily opened the carriage door, "Go home and rest quickly. Natalie and I will report to the association."
When Anna got off the carriage, the carriage suddenly seemed much deserted.
Obviously Anna is not usually a noisy person, but with her around, the car seemed to be livelier.
Rotgar stared at the carriage door for a while, then knocked on the wall to signal the coachman to drive away.
Anna and Natalie entered the Mages Association together. They first asked Theresa where to report this situation, and then simply wrote a report and submitted it to the Affairs Department on the third floor.
What happened today was a relatively serious incident, and it involved a relatively important member of the association like "Raymond". The staff of the Affairs Department did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent the report inside, and then, a middle-aged man came out The young man politely invited Anna and Natalie inside to explain the details.
When Anna saw that the badge on the other person's chest showed that he was a three-star mage, she didn't dare to neglect him and told Natalie everything honestly.
The three-star mage took notes while listening, occasionally interrupting them to ask more detailed questions, and soon wrote a lot of things.
Finally, he said: "I understand everything. Don't worry, the association will uphold justice for you."
"Thank you very much." Anna and Natalie thanked each other and left. She believed the last words. If it was just her, maybe it was just a face-saving comment. After all, she was just a mage apprentice, not even a noble, but now it involves Among the people who arrived were Natalie, the daughter of a baron, and Raymond, a talented mage and son of a viscount. It was impossible for the association not to pay attention to them.
When the two came out, it was already dark. Natalie wanted to send Anna back, but Anna refused. She lived close to here and she wanted to walk back. By the way, she thought about the follow-up relationship she had "agreed" with the devil today. What would happen? There won't be any hidden dangers, and she can make adjustments before starting.
Black Cloud City is bigger than Blue Stone City, and some night entertainment venues are still very popular after dark. Anna will pass by it on the way home, but because of the badge on her chest, even though she looks like a delicate little girl, No one dared to provoke her.
Back at her residence, Anna was about to go back to her attic from the side stairs when she suddenly noticed something moving under the stairs.
She took a small step back vigilantly, thinking that Hansen might have come to kill people and silence them, and used the detection technique at the same time.
In her perception, there was a person hiding in the dark shadow under the stairs, but the person seemed to be lying down, and his presence was very weak.
Anna thought for a while, lit up the lighting technique in her hand, and finally saw clearly the person hiding under the stairs.
The boy was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had short, messy black hair, his eyes were closed tightly, and his body seemed to be curled up in pain. The most eye-catching thing was the dark lines on his face that were familiar to Anna.
This is a young fallen mage.
