□□While seeing the person's appearance clearly, Anna quickly extinguished the lighting technique in her hand.
Whether in Blue Stone City or Black Cloud City, fallen mage is a taboo.
But Anna has received a great favor from Dibian, who guided her into the world of mages. In addition, she knows what the natural elements are and knows some details about the Holy See, so she has no ill feelings towards the group of fallen mages. Even felt a touch of intimacy.
Ana walked up to the young man based on the impression she had before the light went out, gently pushed his shoulder and whispered to him: "Friend, wake up!"
But the boy may have been seriously injured and did not wake up.
Anna still remembered that Dibian's face was also covered with dark lines at that time. Because he was seriously injured and mentally disturbed, dark elements uncontrollably formed highly recognizable dark lines on his body surface.
If he was left to lie here like this, he would be arrested and taken to the church if someone discovered him the next morning!
Whether it's Blue Stone City or Black Cloud City, the religious atmosphere is very strong. It's just because Anna stayed in the Mage Association for a long time that she didn't feel it so deeply.
Mages possess supernatural powers, so of course they are not so awe-inspiring to those priests, and not many mages would talk about the goddess easily.
Anna only hesitated for a moment, then helped the young man up and brought him up to the attic with the help of wind gathering technique.
This young man should be half a head shorter than her. Fortunately, his body is not particularly thin. Even if he is being hunted, he is a mage after all, so there is no problem in keeping himself fed.
Anna brought him into the room and asked him to sit against the wall. She then went to the room to find a piece of rope from an unknown date, tied his hands behind his back, and tried her best to put him in a comfortable position, and then Then he stepped aside, sat on the cushion he usually used for meditation, and observed the young man.
This young man's face is young and delicate, and even with the dark lines, you can see the face of a future heartthrob. With his eyes closed and motionless, he looks as harmless as a little angel.
However, although Anna had a good impression of the fallen mages and was willing to help their poor group as much as possible, she could not rule out the possibility that this was a bad child, so she tied him up first.
Fortunately, the dark lines on the other person's face showed that he was mentally disturbed. Forcibly using mental power might cripple himself before hurting others, so she was not afraid to bring him up.
After watching for a while and seeing that he showed no sign of waking up, Anna began to meditate. This was her daily homework.
About two hours later, Anna noticed a movement and ended her meditation.
The young man moved his body first, and then slowly opened his eyes. He had a pair of obsidian-like eyes, shining brightly in the candlelight, reflecting a moving light.
Fallen angel…
Just as a sigh came into Anna's heart, the confusion on the young man's face disappeared. His eyes widened and he stared at Anna fiercely. He struggled violently like a small animal and shouted angrily: "How dare you tie me up!"
… Not an angel, but a naughty kid!
Anna was a little disappointed. She snapped her fingers and let the boy's attention fall on her palm. Thunder and lightning flashed in her palm, and she glared at the boy and said: "Shut up, you are making noise in the middle of the night." Wake up, you, a fallen mage, should be taken to the church and burned at the stake!"
The boy stopped shouting because of the thunder and lightning in Anna's palm. When he heard her words again, his voice was lowered, but his tone was more fierce than before: "I'm not some bullshit fallen mage!"
Anna misses the gentle Dibian very much. He is also a fallen mage. Why is this naughty kid so difficult to get along with
"Okay, shall I call you the Dark Master?" Anna compromised in a good-tempered way.
Unexpectedly, this young man didn't appreciate it at all, and said fiercely: "I'm not a bullshit dark magician either!"
Anna: "...Okay, then shut up."
"I won't shut up, why should I listen to you?" The boy yelled extremely rebelliously, but his voice was actually not loud.
Anna was happy: "Then if you can, shout louder, I'll give you a ride."
The boy glared at Anna, but shut up.
Anna thought, fortunately, although it is a bear, it is not completely unreasonable.
Anna said: "I once met a very good fallen mage, Aiwujiwu. I have no ill intentions towards you. But just in case, I tied you up. As long as I confirm that you are harmless, I will let you go." .”
The young man said impatiently: "I told you I'm not a bullshit fallen mage!"
"Don't use bad words." Anna said, walking over and squatting in front of him, "My name is Anna, and I am currently a mage apprentice in the Mage Association."
The boy looked at Anna with disdain and laughed: "Weak chicken!"
Weak chicken
Anna was furious in her heart, she condensed the wind gathering technique in her hand, grabbed the boy's arm and dragged him up, heading towards the door.
"What are you doing!" the young man shouted anxiously.
Anna chuckled: "A weakling can't take care of an uncle like you, so I'm going to see you off."
Anna opened the door, but the boy hooked his foot on the door frame and shouted in a low voice: "Okay, I apologize! Don't throw me out!"
Ana paused, dragged him back, and closed the door.
Without untying the ropes that bound him, she dropped him to the ground rather casually, sat cross-legged in front of him, and began her interrogation.
"name."
"Aip!"
"age."
"Can not remember!"
"Profession."
"What?"
“What do you do for a living now?”
"No!"
"Oh, beggar."
"I'm not a beggar!"
"Then it's a tramp."
"I'm not a bum either!"
"That's the beggar. The reason you're hurt."
“…”
"Did you get beaten up for being sneaky?"
"Who stole something? Don't talk nonsense!"
"If you think I'm talking nonsense, then tell me the truth."
“…”
"A little girl who peeked up her skirt was beaten by an angry parent? A child who coveted a lollipop on the roadside was beaten by a righteous passerby? Or..."
"Shut up!"
While Anna was taking notes in a serious manner, she was swinging between irritating and appeasing the other person and asked everything she wanted to know.
This young man's name is Ai Pu. According to him, he became what he is now because he was seriously injured after being chased by two mages for no apparent reason. He was very repelled by the identity of the fallen mage and refused to admit it. However, when Anna asked, he admitted that he only knew dark spells, but he was injured and couldn't use them now. He has no relatives or teachers, so he learned the magic by himself.
Anna felt that the authenticity of the boy's words was open to question. From the first time he woke up, she felt that he was not an honest person.
"You can let me go now!" Aip said dissatisfied.
Ana shook her head: "No. I think you have something to hide from me. It would be too dangerous to let you go."
However, if this man were thrown out directly, the dark lines on his face that would not disappear for a while would be too obvious. He would not be able to walk out of a street without being turned away by devout civilians and taken to a church. Although she had never been to a church service, in the exchanges with her former family members and in her own memories, the church priests would always promote doctrines and highlight the goddess by belittling fallen mages and exaggerating the dangers of fallen mages. of kindness. In the long run, civilians are of course the Holy See's best informants.
Throwing him out would be equivalent to killing him with her own hands, and keeping him made her feel uneasy, so she was in a dilemma.
Aip stared at Anna, baring his teeth like a ferocious little beast: "Then what do you want! You can't keep me tied up! I can't do anything to you now, what are you afraid of!"
Anna looked at Aip who made the dangerous statement, and the balance in her heart tilted a little more toward throwing him out.
She had been very smooth and comfortable helping Dibian before. Dibian would not put her in danger by helping him, but this boy made her feel that helping him would get her into trouble.
"Hey, did you hear what I said?" Aip couldn't help asking with his eyes wide open when he saw Anna staring at him without making a sound.
Ana was impatient by his quarrel and said casually: "You choose between keeping you tied up or throwing you out."
Epden suddenly fell silent, pursed his lips, and hummed: "You can keep tying me up if you can."
Anna laughed angrily: "I don't have the ability. Why should I tie you up all the time? What's the benefit to me? Let me choose for you. I guess you would prefer to be free outside."
Seeing Anna coming forward to drag him again, Aip quickly shrank back, almost hiding in the corner, and said at the same time: "I won't leave! You are a vicious woman, if you throw me out, you are killing someone!"
Anna thought it was a miracle that this boy could still survive without being beaten to death.
So, should she continue this miracle
Anna sighed slightly, she seemed to have no choice.
She now doesn't have to worry about dragging down her family, her tolerance for risk is much higher, and she really can't send someone to die with her own hands.
But the gesture still needs to be made.
Anna squatted in front of the boy and said with a cold face: "I'll give you a chance."
Aip was continuing to shrink to the side, but when he heard Anna's words, he stopped immediately and looked over with clear black and white eyes: "What opportunity?"
"Prove yourself that you won't give me a chance to get into trouble."
Aip stared as if he wanted to curse something, but he managed to endure it. He whispered: "Then you will let me stay?"
"For the time being." Anna emphasized. "When the dark lines on your face disappear, I can give you some travel expenses and leave."
Aip said quickly: "Okay, deal!"
"What deal is a deal? I haven't said anything about the next arrangements." Anna said angrily, "I will keep you tied up in the next few days until I believe that you will not cause me trouble. If you don't agree, You can leave now.”
"I won't leave!" Aip said very firmly.
Anna assumed that he had agreed to the premise of being tied up.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to bed. If you don't have any need to eat or go to the bathroom, for my safety, I'm going to change your binding method."
Anna couldn't help but yawn. Since time traveling, she is no longer the night owl she once was. There are no novels to read, no dramas to follow, and no Weibo to browse. There is no need for nightlife. She has long been accustomed to the new routine of going to bed early and getting up early.
Mobile phones are indeed the enemy of a regular schedule.
Aip looked wary: "What kind of binding method?"
Anna smiled slightly: "Won't you know it soon?"
After a while.
"Stop, I don't want to be tied up like this!"
"Ah, you disgusting woman, I'm going to kill you!"
Anna ignored Aip's cries and howls. She realized that he was not completely ungrateful. At least when he scolded her, although he looked very powerful, the volume was actually not loud, and he knew not to attract other people's attention.
She didn't think she was going too far. In fact, she just tied Aip's feet and tied his hands and feet together behind his back. Although this position might not be comfortable for him, she was safe.
This can't be blamed on her, who told him that he couldn't be as gentle, considerate and easy to talk to as Dibian, otherwise she would not be so rough to him.
After tying Aip, Anna tied him to a pillar with a rope to prevent him from moving closer to her while she slept. This attic was just an ordinary one-bedroom apartment with one bathroom. There was no door to lock him out, and she wasn't so crazy as to lock him in the bathroom.
Everything was done, no matter what Aip said cursing over there, Anna fell asleep comfortably.
When Anna got up the next morning, she glanced at the pillar. The boy was huddled under the pillar, lying on her meditation mat, looking like he wasn't sleeping peacefully.
Anna went to wash up first, and then went out to buy some food. When she came back, she saw that Aip was already awake.
He still looked sleepy, but the moment he saw her he said angrily: "If you can, let me go. I'm not done with you!"
Anna put the food aside and walked towards Ep.
Epden immediately moved back and shouted angrily: "What are you doing! I tell you, if you..."
"Shut up and I'll untie it for you," Anna said.
Aip seemed not to believe that there was such a good thing, and was still looking at Anna warily and suspiciously when she untied the rope around him.
Anna untied all the ropes, stepped back and watched him rubbing his wrists, and said after a while: "I thought you would attack me as soon as the ropes were loosened."
She is actually secretly ready to unleash "God's Punishment" at any time. Perhaps she was still expecting Aip to attack her, so that she could throw him out openly without any guilt from her conscience.
Pity.
Noticing Anna's eyes, Aip snorted coldly and said triumphantly: "Do you think I don't know what you think? I am not as good as you want! I won't leave!"
After he finished speaking, he went to get the food Anna brought back, sat on the floor, and ate hungrily.
Anna said: "Do you have such a bad attitude towards everyone who helps you? I didn't use black bread to deal with you, but brought you exquisite white bread and sweet meat. You should at least say Thank you, right?"
She just said it casually, not expecting Aip to respond. Just as she was about to go out to the association, she heard Aip say very quietly: "Thank you."
Ana looked back at him and raised her eyebrows: "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly."
Aip blushed and said: "Thank you, I said thank you! You heard it now, right? But I will always remember the revenge you kidnapped me for yesterday!"
"I'm going out. Remember to stay at home and don't run around. I won't rescue you if you are captured." Anna ignored his harmless threat and warned, "Also, don't go anywhere Urinate and defecate.”
"you-"
Before Aip could say her angry words, Anna shut the door behind her. She listened to the low-pitched yelling inside the door and let out a long sigh.
It felt like she had a wary and disobedient stray dog that she had to tame before he would behave... She was asking for trouble, but after she found him in a coma last night, she actually had no choice.
After Anna arrived at the Mages Association, she was stopped by Theresa. Theresa gave her a written notice, saying that she and Natalie reported the matter, and that the committee was sending people to investigate, and she might be needed by then. I hope she can stay at the association for the next two days to cooperate with more inquiries.
Anna originally stayed at the association every day, so this announcement had no impact on her. After chatting with Theresa for a few words, she went to the seat in the library where she had always stayed.
She was stunned when she saw the two people in that area.
She didn't find it strange that Natalie came earlier than her. The strange thing was, why was the devil who was supposed to be recovering at home also
There’s no need to be so dedicated, right? If your business ability is not good, no matter how dedicated you are, it will be of no use...
Anna was almost touched by the devil's professionalism. She walked over and sat down in her usual seat, next to the devil. He had seen her coming and kept looking at her when she walked over and sat down.
Anna leaned over and whispered: "Is your injury okay? The trauma may be cured by the Holy Healing Technique, but your mental power..."
For Rotgar, the pain of having his mental power damaged was nothing at all. Moreover, the agreement he made with Anna yesterday made him a little eager to try. There was no way he could continue to stay at home today.
He had spent a lot of time observing Anna before, wasn't it just to find a way to make Anna fall in love with him? Now she herself told him how to approach her, please her, and make her happy and addicted. He couldn't wait to try her method and wait to see her fall step by step.
Rotgar said: "It's okay."
The cold words blocked Anna's mouth, and her good intentions were in vain. He, a free teacher, was willing to teach her despite the headache, so what could she be dissatisfied with
Anna looked up at Natalie, only to see Natalie smiling gratefully at her, and felt baffled.
Natalie was indeed very grateful for Anna's timely arrival. She thought she had arrived early enough, but she didn't know that Master Raymond came earlier than her and occupied the seat next to her and Anna's usual seats early in the morning. .
She didn't even expect to be in this position, but Master Raymond kept staring at her, so she had no choice but to walk over, sit down and take out the notes she had made before, but because of Master Raymond's strong presence, She couldn't see anything at all, and her body even reacted to wanting to escape.
Although it was Master Raymond who desperately saved them yesterday, his fierce look at that time left a strong fear in her heart, and her reason could not overcome it.
Then, Master Raymond suddenly asked her: "What is Anna's favorite food?"
Natalie was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in panic: "I, I don't know...she is never picky about food when we eat together."
"Raymond" the mage frowned. She knew she was dissatisfied with her answer, but she really didn't know. Anna didn't seem to have a particularly strong preference...
"Where's her favorite color?"
"Hmm... She seems to often wear red clothes. Oh, one time she even said that the blue light of the water element is really beautiful."
"Her favorite number?"
"This...she didn't say it, and I don't know either."
"Why is she wearing riding clothes?"
"Ah, I know this, because she doesn't have money to buy a mage robe!"
“…”
While Natalie was thinking about the difficult conversation with the mage "Raymond" before, Rotgar was also thinking about the answer he got from Natalie.
There was almost no answer. Natalie, a loser, didn't know anything at all.
Anna's eyes turned between the devil and Natalie, and she didn't ask any more questions. She thought that the devil didn't want to take advantage of other people's bodies these days, so she didn't need to worry anymore.
She also found her notes to prepare for review. The two days of special training gave her a deeper understanding of the theories that she had simply memorized before. She wanted to take advantage of now to deepen her memory and see if she could come up with some new ideas.
Ana had just read two pages when she realized that she really couldn't ignore the looks of the people next to her.
No one would be able to concentrate on their review if they were stared at like this, right
She closed the note, took a deep breath, turned to look at the devil, and said with a smile, "Why don't you read a book?"
The disdain on Rotgar's face was very obvious: "It's boring."
So it's fun to stare at me? No matter how you look at me, there is no way I will agree to marry you!
Anna was roaring in her heart, but her face was calm.
She knew that for the devil, the books in this entire library were probably boring, but couldn't he still pretend to read a book when he stuffed her with notes before? Now, if you put it on again, just think it’s for performance!
Anna got up, rummaged on the bookshelf for a while, and found a few books according to her impressions. She took them and put them in front of the devil. She said very considerately: "I think these books are suitable for you. You can read them first."
Rotgar looked at the titles of these books with curiosity, and his face instantly fell.
"Five etiquettes for communication between mages", "How to become a gentleman among mages", "Not all mages are arrogant".
Anna, what does this mean
Rotgar had an inexplicable feeling that he had been scolded by Anna. He looked at Anna with a sullen face, but the latter smiled very sweetly, pointed to a row of bookshelves and said: "These books are more interesting than boring theories. I've finished reading them." There’s more over there.”
Rotgar rarely got such a bright smile from Anna, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
He frowned and looked away, looking at the books on the table with disgust, then he opened one at random and started flipping through it.
Seeing that the devil finally stopped staring at her, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and opened her notes to read.
Natalie secretly watched this scene, and a villain in her heart was shouting crazily: Anna is the best! Not afraid of Master Raymond at all! You can also make him obedient!
But Anna only read three pages quietly before she suddenly heard the devil say: "Do you like the water element?"
Anna wanted to make a casual remark, but before she spoke, she remembered that Leon mainly used water spells. Without knowing the devil's intentions, she thought of the worst.
"So-so," Anna replied casually, deliberately steering the conversation in a safe direction, "If I want to say my favorite, it's the thunder element. I feel most comfortable using it now."
Secretly catching a glimpse of the demon's brows relaxing, Anna knew she had the right answer.
At this time, Rotgar, who was casually flipping through the book, suddenly noticed a paragraph in the book: Gifts are important props to increase the goodwill of both mages and promote communication. The most popular gifts among mages include empty crystals and customized mage robes. , a practical exchange, etc.
He remembered what Natalie said just now, and said to Anna: "I will take you to pick out the mage robe later."
Anna: "..." Why is the boss suddenly possessed? !
