Although Anna did lack a mage robe, and she did not feel guilty about picking up the devil's wool, she always felt weird asking the devil to take her to buy a mage robe.
She seems to be a pretty mage being kept by a domineering noble mage...
Anna was so disgusted by her imagination that she trembled. She felt that it was better for her to be pure with the devil. What she wanted to harvest was the devil's wool, not "Raymond's" wool, so it was in the devil's mind that she was free. Knowledge is enough, but in terms of material things, it is better for her not to get involved in it to be on the safe side.
"Thank you, but I don't need the mage robe just yet." Anna declined politely.
Rotgar raised his eyebrows: "Do you not need it or can't afford it?"
Anna: “…”
Look what he said? Fortunately, she was relatively thick-skinned, otherwise she would have been pissed off by him.
She said as calmly as possible: "I can't afford it, but I have to make money to buy it myself."
Rotgar knew that Anna had very few ways to make money, but since she refused to accept his gift directly, why did he persist in making her unhappy
It can be seen that the "Five Etiquettes of Communication between Mages" he is reading now is useless, at least it cannot be used on Anna.
Rotgar originally wanted to read these books carefully and find some ways to get along with Anna, but now he has lost interest.
The best way to increase understanding and goodwill is to get to the line between life and death.
Although going to the line of life and death almost damaged the body, the results proved to be worth it. Rotgar has never received such a positive response from Anna, so he is vaguely looking forward to the next time he goes there. It just so happens that this is what Anna hopes.
"Then go to the line of life and death tomorrow." Rotgar said, "There are several tasks on the taskbar that are suitable for you."
Anna was stunned. This devil's positivity almost made her feel guilty... Although he often spoke out of his mind and made people want to beat him up, he still knew to listen to her opinions and the suggestions he gave were very reasonable.
She was even a little worried that he would say, "Be my personal maid, and I will give you a salary of one gold coin a day" or something... It was quite exciting to think about it.
"How can your mental strength recover so quickly?" Although she really wanted to do missions to make money, Anna still reluctantly refused, "We'll talk about it after you get better. There's no discussion on this point. I won't talk anymore, I'm going to read a book."
Rotgar frowned when he saw Anna ended the conversation unilaterally and returned her attention to the book. He looked at Anna for a while and saw that she really had no intention of changing her mind, so he could only look away.
Natalie looked at this scene almost dumbfounded. She felt that the questions that Master Raymond asked her this morning were weird. Now seeing Anna's attitude when talking to him, this weird feeling was even stronger.
It seems that Master Raymond has been led by Anna throughout the whole process...
What happened when Anna came back in the car with Master Raymond yesterday? She was so curious!
Natalie felt uncomfortable holding back, but since Master Raymond was present, she couldn't ask, so she could only force herself to calm down and review her notes.
She warned herself that the promotion assessment in more than a month was the most important thing to her... Wow, but she really wanted to know!
Anna feels very good now. With the "information gap" plus "asking for something", plus her deliberate guidance, the devil is now much more comfortable to get along with, and is simply harmless to humans and animals.
She quickly cooled down the joy in her head. She couldn't be too proud. In essence, he was still the devil who wanted her soul. She couldn't be deceived by his "good behavior"!
The three of them studied together at noon. When they walked out of the library, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that the next step would be her and Anna's two-person world. However, after the three of them walked together for a while and didn't see Master Raymond leaving, she Everyone is feeling bad.
Is Master Raymond going to have lunch with them in the association's canteen? That doesn't fit his identity at all!
However, the goddess did not hear her voice. Seeing that the three of them were almost reaching the cafeteria, Master Raymond was still there.
Before the three of them reached the canteen, a staff member from the association found them. Anna recognized this as the man who had first received her and Natalie at the office yesterday.
"The Ministry of Affairs invites three of you to come over and discuss important matters." The staff member mainly spoke to Rotgar.
Rotgar frowned: "Let's wait until we have lunch."
Anna quickly whispered: "It's better to go and see what's going on first, otherwise you won't be able to eat safely."
Rotgar showed displeasure and said to the staff member: "Lead the way."
The staff member was worried when he heard what "Master Raymond" said, but when he saw Anna convincing him with one word, he couldn't help but look at her a few times in surprise, and quickly turned around to lead the way.
What "important thing" could it be
Anna knew that it might not be a good thing. If the result came out, she would not say "we have important matters to discuss". I am afraid that the York family has taken action.
Only now did Anna realize that she actually didn’t know much about Raymond’s family. Speaking of which, although Hansen’s uncle and Raymond’s father were both viscounts, there were still differences between viscounts and viscounts, and she didn’t know about Raymond’s family. Can Mondstadt's family stand it...
The group arrived at the Affairs Department and found that it was quite lively.
In addition to the three-star mage who listened to Anna and Natalie's report yesterday, there were also several association staff, as well as another party headed by a butler-looking person.
After Anna and the others arrived, the three-star mage first introduced the butler-looking person, who was the great butler of Viscount York's residence, named William.
With a smile on his face that made Anna feel deeply hypocritical, William bowed deeply to "Master Raymond".
"I'm very sorry, Master Raymond." He said after standing up, "We are deeply sorry for the harm caused to you by Master Hanson's mistake. Viscount York has gone to your home to apologize to your father, and your father has also I have graciously accepted the apology from the York family and expressed my understanding for Master Hansen's mistake. I heard that you still came to the association today, and Viscount York quickly ordered me to come to the association to apologize to you again."
Butler William said, and the servant beside him came forward holding a box. When he opened it, he saw it was full of gold coins and empty crystals.
Before Anna could take a closer look, Rotgar suddenly raised his hand, knocked the box to the ground, and sneered: "What a mistake! Tell Hansen to get over here. As long as he can survive my mistake, I will Forgive him."
The expressions of everyone present changed. They probably did not expect that Master Raymond would have such an explosive temper. The three-star mage quickly said: "Master Raymond, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't do anything."
Rotgar naturally did not consider the family and social relations of the person he possessed. He looked at the three-star mage coldly: "No one can plot against me and escape unscathed."
Hearing this, Anna trembled quietly in her heart.
Hasn't she just been plotting against this devil... I hope he never finds out, otherwise she will be miserable...
Butler William quickly said: "Mr. Raymond, you really misunderstood. Master Hansen did not deliberately plot against you. It was his mistake. He is also seriously injured and lying in bed now. Otherwise, he would definitely come to you in person." Apologizing. We are deeply sorry for the trouble we have caused you.”
Although she had expected it before coming, Anna was still a little depressed when she saw this development.
Even in a relatively equal place like the Mage Association, if there is no strength, there is no justice. The York family came to apologize solemnly because the party involved was the son of a viscount. If she was the only one, they would probably just send someone randomly, or even send no one at all, and just ask the association to come forward and give her some compensation.
For the first time, she looked at the gold coins and empty crystals scattered on the ground without feeling pity. Instead, she felt that the devil had done this happily. She just regretted that he was too pushy. Now if he was lying on the bed looking like he was dying, he would have more initiative.
"Trouble? You guys are really talking lightly." Anna couldn't help but said, "Yesterday, Master Raymond almost died under the frame-up of your Master Hansen. It was Master Lyon who came to the rescue in time and was spared. He almost died. Well, you call this 'trouble' lightly? Then I don't mind causing you a little trouble, and I will apologize to your family afterwards."
well said!
After hearing this, Natalie couldn't help but want to applaud Anna. She actually thought so too, but she couldn't express her thoughts accurately. Moreover, no one cared about her thoughts as a baron's daughter who was forced by her father to marry, and she did not have the courage to speak out in front of so many people.
Sure enough, Anna was Anna, easily doing things that she couldn't do at all.
After hearing Anna's words, Butler William's expression changed slightly and he looked at her carefully.
Anna let him look at her calmly.
She thought that even Hansen, who had created the frame-up at that time, did not know how far the devil had gone to protect her and Natalie, and only regarded them as insignificant witnesses. Coupled with the fact that the devil was showing off and acting like nothing was wrong at this moment, perhaps Butler William really thought that the devil was fine at that time.
But even if there are really no consequences, Hansen's behavior of framing others is inexcusable.
Rotgar moved sideways to block Butler William's view, and there was violence hidden in his cold tone: "What do you want to do to Anna?"
Butler William felt a chill in his heart. He quickly looked away and took a step back to apologize: "I'm very sorry. I was rude. That's it. Master Hansen doesn't know how much impact it has on you. We originally thought it was not serious... I'm really sorry. I will go back and explain the situation to Viscount York, and I will come back to sincerely apologize to you..."
Rotgar interrupted Butler William impatiently: "I don't need to apologize, I just want you to hand over Hansen."
These words were said in an unpleasant tone. Butler William glanced at the three-star mage, who hurriedly said: "Mr. Raymond, please pay attention to where this place is. If there are any problems, we can negotiate. Violence cannot solve the problem."
Rotgar sneered: "Negotiation? How much benefit will the York family give you?"
The expression of the three-star mage changed: "Mr. Raymond, pay attention to your wording, this is a slander on my personality!"
"Personality?" Rotgar looked at the three-star mage with an expression that could infuriate people to death, as if he was looking at an ant. "How can I slander something that doesn't exist?"
Anna had known about the devil's willful behavior, so she was not surprised to see how easily he turned their problem with the York family into a conflict between him and the three-star mage in charge.
If she had a five-star mage... No, a four-star mage was strong enough, and she would be willing to act arbitrarily and unscrupulously like this, how cool it would be.
But she still has to continue studying at the Mage Association, so there is nothing she can do.
"Master Raymond!" Seeing the three-star mage, Anna's face turned red with anger. She quickly grabbed the demon and smiled apologetically at the three-star mage. "I'm very sorry. Master Raymond was seriously injured yesterday. He was injured by more than a dozen people." I was surrounded by monsters, my clothes were soaked with blood, and my mental energy was severely exhausted. I said inappropriate words because I was feeling very uncomfortable. Please forgive me."
When Anna talked about being besieged by more than a dozen monsters, the three-star mage had a picture in his mind and couldn't help but frown. Although Anna and the others had already told him about this yesterday, whether they thought about it after hearing it or not is another matter.
In addition, after Anna stepped down, the three-star mage looked much better. He just looked at Rotgar, waiting to see his attitude.
How could Lotgar apologize to others
But Anna seemed to be afraid that he would rush up and hit someone. She held his arm tightly with both hands, as if she was using half of her body weight to hold him down. Her soft body pressed tightly against his arm, It made him feel a little strange.
He looked sideways at Anna, who seemed to be unaware, who was also looking at him with a little pleading in her eyes.
His breathing stopped for a moment.
It was impossible to apologize, and he was unwilling to make Anna unhappy. His last choice was to pull Anna and turn around and leave.
He has already listened to Anna once, but since the association did not give him a satisfactory answer, don't blame him for taking action himself.
Anna was caught off guard and was dragged out by Rotgar. Upon seeing this, Natalie quickly followed, and everyone else in the room looked at each other.
Rotgar said nothing after pulling Anna out of the affairs department. Looking at his cold profile, Anna could almost guess what he wanted to do.
Anna knew that although the devil would make her feel happy if he killed Hansen, her good days in the association were over. He could not care about everything in the human world, but she could not.
Even her hope of getting rid of him lies in the association.
