Anna spent the whole afternoon making the extract, only taking a half-hour break in between, and stopped exhausted after making twenty portions.
It was already the moonlight above the willows, and Anna suddenly remembered that Natalie might still be waiting for her. She didn't have time to tell Dawkins, so she only agreed to come back here after lunch the next day, and she hurried away.
Dawkins was left chasing after him, shouting: "Can't it be in the morning? Can't it be earlier?"
It's a pity that Anna has already waved her hands and walked away.
Generally speaking, the person who gives money is the uncle, but in the mage world it is different. Most of the time, the person who gives money has to beg the person who receives the money.
The relationship between Dawkins and Anna is a pure seller's market. Dawkins has only waited for Anna, a mage apprentice who is willing to do it and does it well. If Anna does not work with him, she can still do other tasks.
Excellent talents always have more choices.
Therefore, Anna said she would come back tomorrow afternoon, and Dawkins couldn't say anything. He could only pray that he wouldn't be intercepted halfway. Fortunately, he was smart enough to give her a deposit of five gold coins, and she had to finish at least a hundred copies before she could leave.
Should he give another ten gold coins as a deposit tomorrow
While Dawkins was considering whether to do such a "cunning" thing, Anna had already hurried to the meditation room.
Seeing Natalie flipping through her notes by the light from the meditation room, Anna felt guilty and hurriedly walked over and said, "I'm sorry, I was obsessed with making potions and lost track of time. You can't wait until next time." I can go back first."
Natalie's eyes lit up when she saw Anna coming over. She put away her notes and hugged Anna's arm with a bright smile on her face: "I didn't wait long, I was just reviewing!"
Anna touched Natalie's head and smiled helplessly.
Although she was a little tired at the moment, Anna still cheered up and helped Natalie analyze the problems encountered during today's spell practice and come up with feasible solutions.
After saying goodbye to Natalie, Anna walked home under the moonlight and bought some food on the way. Young people are growing and eating a lot, so the food she bought in the morning may not be enough.
After Anna arrived at her residence, she opened the door and saw that Aip was slumped on the meditation mat like a dead fish. After she came in, he said feebly: "It's so boring."
"You can meditate and regain your mental strength as soon as possible." Anna suggested, and after a pause she added, "If you don't know how, I can teach you."
Aip glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "You just want to drive me away early!"
"Otherwise?" Anna said confidently, "You are a stranger to me. I saved you out of kindness. Do I have to care about you for the rest of your life? If you are smart, you should take advantage of this time to get better. Except Apart from me, you will never find a kind-hearted little cutie like me who doesn’t want any benefit from you, okay!”
Epp made a sound, neither refuting nor agreeing. When Anna put the food down, he moved over as if nothing was wrong. No matter what was taken out first, he just stuffed it into his mouth without picking it.
Anna looked at Aip's devouring food without being picky, and for some reason she thought of the devil.
Ai Pu is also very easy to support.
Aip quickly finished his portion, rubbed his belly and lay on the ground like a dead dog. After a while, he suddenly said to Anna: "Since the food you brought is delicious, you can ask me any questions you have." .”
His tone was so proud that Anna felt her hands itch, and she asked, "Any questions are okay?"
"certainly!"
Anna sneered: "Okay, then tell me, why does the sky look blue during the day?"
Aip was stunned, what's the problem
"What's the reason for that? The sky is just like that."
"If you don't know, just say you don't know."
"Then what's the reason?"
"Because of Rayleigh scattering." Anna said calmly.
Ep frowned: "What is this?"
"Forget it if you don't know, you're ignorant." Anna glanced at Ep with disdain, put away her finished dinner, and got into a meditation posture, "Don't bother me, I'm going to meditate."
She quickly pretended to be busy... After all, she only knew the term and couldn't really remember how to explain it, but it was enough to pretend to be bluffing.
When Aip saw Anna ignoring him, he started meditating on his own. He had no obsession with "why the sky is blue". If he didn't know, he didn't know. He just hated her disdainful tone and turned away depressedly. go to sleep.
After a while, Aip spoke again: "What are you going to do if someone finds me here?"
It took Anna a while to answer: "What should I do? A fallen mage broke into my house without my knowledge. I am also a victim."
Ai Pu sneered twice: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell them that you invited me in?"
"If you say this, will they believe it?" Anna retorted without any guilt. She opened her eyes and glanced at him, "Kid, you are still too young."
"Who are you talking about, kid!" Aip glared at Anna bitterly.
Anna was afraid that the quarrel would go on forever, so she was like an exam-preparing sister coaxing her disobedient primary school brother to leave her room and said, "I'm talking about myself."
Then she entered a meditative state again, and no matter what Aip said to provoke her, she did not respond vocally.
Before going to bed, Anna tied Epp in such a way that he could not resist, and then fell asleep peacefully.
On a new day, after settling April, Anna went to the Mage Association. The first thing she had to do today was to go to the logistics department to buy a mage robe.
The Logistics Department is on the fourth floor of the Association Affairs Building. After Anna went there, she didn't look at the "added" mage robes. She just spent a gold coin and simply bought a blank mage robe.
This kind of mage robe is made of a special flax plant with natural water element properties. It has relatively strong hydrophobicity and can be waterproof, dustproof, and oil-proof to a certain extent. However, if it is attacked, the defense effect is only less than Wear a little bit that can be ignored.
Anna found a place where no one was around and put on the mage robe. Looking around, she felt that the mage style that she had always lacked came out.
After buying the mage robe, Anna went to the library with satisfaction. The devil and Natalie were both there today.
Rotgar had a severe headache yesterday, felt dizzy and bloated, and couldn't even stand steady, so he could only lie in bed all day. Things have gotten better today, he came early in the morning, and after Natalie arrived, he casually asked if there was anything going on with Anna yesterday.
Seeing Anna coming with a bright smile and wearing a brand new mage robe, Rotgar could not help but frown.
She rejected his kindness just the day before yesterday and said she wanted to buy a mage robe herself, but today she put on a new one... He knew her financial situation very well. How could she afford it after only one day? Someone beat him to it? who is it? Lyon
Rotgar did not expect that he had not stared at Anna for a day, and there was a new situation around her, but Natalie just said nothing to him.
He couldn't help but sneer, he wanted to see who dared to steal someone from him!
When Anna wanted to wave to the devil and say good morning, the devil had already turned his head. She felt a little strange. When she sat down in her seat, she looked at him and whispered: "Raymond, you were very uncomfortable yesterday, weren't you? If you feel uncomfortable, you can rest for a few days before coming back.”
Rotgar glanced at her coldly: "How dare I rest for a few days? If it were two days later, my things would have been taken away by others!"
Anna felt that the devil's tone was particularly aggressive today, and she didn't know why he was angry. She didn't do anything. Maybe he wasn't angry with her, but she was angered
But... the "my thing" he said, from the perspective of an insider like her, probably meant her soul, right
Did the devil know about Ep's existence? Not like that.
Did the devil think she was touching other men while hanging him? But the problem is that she doesn’t have it either…
When thinking about this, Anna remembered the brief contact and discussion with Leon at noon yesterday, and the whole afternoon yesterday when she and Master Dawkins were together making extraction solutions - but she only talked to Leon for a few words, and Master Dawkins It's definitely not someone the devil is afraid of.
Of course Natalie also noticed Anna's new robe, but seeing that Anna and Master Raymond seemed to be quarreling, it was not good for her to interrupt now, so she had to watch silently.
"Why do you say that?" Anna looked at the demon patiently and asked. Her expression was puzzled, but she was actually complaining in her heart that this demon had too many things...
When Rotgar saw Anna pretending to be confused and asking him, he was filled with anger. He snorted coldly but ignored her inquiry. He picked up the book and made a gesture as if he didn't want to talk to her.
Anna thought for a while and did not continue to ask. She thought that sooner or later the devil would tell why he was angry. He didn't look like someone who could hold it in for a long time.
come! Compete with her to see who can keep calm!
Because tonight is Natalie's birthday party, Anna is going to prepare notes as a gift for her. She plans to refine the notes she made while reading the books on Lyon's reading list before giving them to Natalie.
She was already proficient in the books on that list, so it was useless to keep the notes. If she really wanted to read them again, she could borrow them from Natalie.
Natalie saw that Master Raymond and Anna had ended their inexplicable dispute and were reading books. However, seeing that Master Raymond’s face was not good-looking, she did not dare to speak to displease him, so she thought about it and wrote a small note. , quietly handed it to Anna.
Anna took it and saw the small note saying: Anna, you look great in the mage robe. You feel like a very powerful senior mage!
Anna couldn't help laughing. People want clothes, just like gold. Uniforms can significantly enhance their beauty and temperament!
The mage robes of the Mage Association are very well designed, with a black background and gold rims, and a certain waistband. When worn, it doesn't look like a sack. Most of the mages are not fat. After wrapping the whole person in the mage robe, all the shortcomings of the figure are covered up. Moreover, the beauty of the design of the mage robe itself makes the overall appearance much better than without wearing the mage robe.
Anna wrote a sentence on a small note and gave it back to Natalie. Natalie saw the note saying: It's just a feeling now, but I will definitely be a very powerful senior mage in the future.
Natalie couldn't help but snicker. Yes, although everyone is just a mage apprentice now, she knew very well that she had no ambition and no talent. It was enough to be a one-star mage and control her own marriage. But Anna, she He will definitely become a very powerful mage!
Natalie felt elated when she thought that although she was only a one-star mage in the future, she would have a four-star, no, a five-star mage friend that everyone could only look up to.
Natalie wrote on the note: I'm looking forward to it! There is also a birthday party in the evening. I have to go back and prepare it in the afternoon. I will give you the invitation later. Don’t forget to come!
Natalie pushed the note over, but unexpectedly the note was intercepted by a white hand.
Rotgar took the note calmly under Natalie's surprised gaze, glanced at it a few times and then raised his eyebrows: "Birthday party?"
Anna couldn't snatch the note from the devil. Seeing that he seemed to be interested in Natalie's birthday party, she couldn't help but sweat for Natalie.
Knowing that Natalie was a little afraid of talking to the devil, she took the initiative and said, "Tonight is Natalie's birthday party. It's just a simple party."
Rotgar thought of the banquets held in Balan Castle, and his eyebrows darkened slightly. Although he knew very well that the banquets of human nobles usually did not become so chaotic, he was still very worried about letting Anna go to such banquets.
She said she wanted to get to know each other first, but she didn't let him know about the banquet. Why, did she want to go with the man who gave her the mage robe
Beautiful thought!
"Give me an invitation too." He dropped the note and replied coldly, then picked up the book with a sullen face, again refusing to communicate further.
"Okay, okay!" Natalie agreed quickly.
She now only has Anna as a friend in the Mage Association, so she only brought one invitation. She really didn't know that Master Raymond would also be interested in her birthday party!
Natalie grimaced and thought about how she should conjure up another invitation. After thinking about it, she decided to go home immediately to get one. She suddenly stood up and whispered: "The invitation is on the carriage, I'll go get it."
After saying that, she left quickly. Her home was not far from the association. For the sake of her family's dignity, her father prepared a special carriage for her to use, so the carriage was waiting outside the association and she could use it at any time. . It only takes an hour to get the invitations and come back, so it’s too late!
Anna saw Natalie leaving, and the demon looked like he didn't want to talk to her, so she continued to sort out the gift notes.
If the devil could keep silent about why he was angry, she would respect him as a good man!
For a moment, the only sound in this small area was the sound of Anna turning the pages of the book and the occasional rustle of writing.
After a while, Anna finished organizing and annotating, closed the not-so-thick notebook, and stretched out.
She secretly glanced at the devil. He was sitting elegantly, with his back straight and his eyes slightly lowered, falling on the pages of the book in his hands.
But she clearly remembered that he was reading this page half an hour ago.
Anna became mischievous, and leaned over to stare at the page in the devil's hand, with a curious expression: "I've seen you read this page for a long time, is it so difficult?"
Rotgar's eyes were fixed on the page, but his attention was always on Anna. When she came closer, he looked at her sideways. When he heard her words, he closed the book and held it through the long sleeves of the mage's robe. Grabbing Anna's wrist, he frowned and asked, "Who gave you this mage robe?"
He had been holding back for half an hour and felt uncomfortable. Thinking of someone trying to seize the fruits of his victory while he was away, he wanted to tear that daring person to pieces with hatred. Anna is his prey and is about to fall into his net. He wants to see who is so unafraid of death!
Hearing the devil's question, Anna was stunned and then suddenly realized that he had previously possessed him and said he wanted to buy her a mage robe, but she refused. At that time, her answer was that she couldn't afford it and planned to make money to buy it herself. This was to reject the devil. , which is also true.
This is what happened the day before yesterday. Just two days later, she had a new mage robe. It seemed that she really wanted to find another sponsor
"I bought it myself," Anna said. "Yesterday I did the tasks on the taskbar and earned money."
Anna's answer surprised Rotgar, but he soon believed it. He never doubted Anna's personal abilities.
But then, he had new doubts.
"What mission did you do?" he asked.
Anna thought to herself, this devil is really easy to play, he is like a husband who is trying to catch an adulterer, and he wants to get to the bottom of everything.
She said cooperatively: "I helped a two-star mage to prepare the raw materials for the potion. I have to go there again in the afternoon. He gave me five gold coins in advance."
Rotgar remembered that there was indeed such a task on the taskbar, and it was indeed very suitable for Anna now.
But, that two-star mage...
Anna's left wrist was still held by the devil, and her right hand covered the back of the hand held by the devil. Perhaps due to injury, his hand was slightly cold, and she seemed to be touching a piece of jade.
When Anna's hand covered Rotgar's hand, the tight grip on her wrist suddenly relaxed unconsciously, and Anna pulled it down easily.
Anna did not let go of the devil's hand, but looked at him and smiled: "I did a very good job in making the extract. The mage said so too. Do you want to come and take a look?"
In order to reassure the devil and prevent him from causing trouble, let him see Master Dawkins with his own eyes. Then he will definitely not doubt anything anymore...
Lotgard looked at Anna steadily. Her smile was shy but confident, and had a unique beauty.
He has a normal sense of aesthetics and knows what is beautiful and what is ugly.
But knowing is knowing, whether you can truly "feel" it is another matter. Just like he has always known that in human aesthetics, Anna belongs to the "beautiful" side, but it was only recently that he truly felt this "beauty".
This kind of beauty does not give people the feeling of being flamboyant and dangerous like the succubus. It is like the drizzle falling quietly into the new field, nourishing the dormant seeds, making them take root and sprout, and it will never be uprooted.
The urge to kiss her came back.
Lotgar suddenly withdrew his hand and said very coldly: "Okay."
Then he picked up the book without actually reading a word of it.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Anna didn't care what the devil's attitude was. She was not worried if he continued to have any misunderstandings. Anyway, after seeing Master Dawkins in the afternoon, the misunderstandings would naturally be resolved.
So, she read the new knowledge with satisfaction.
And Rotgar next to her, holding the book, still didn't turn a page.
He felt inexplicably angry now.
There is no doubt that his impulse to kiss Anna just now came from this human body. Anna is so attractive to human men. If he wasn't watching, she would be able to move between all the outstanding men with ease.
This cunning woman who intentionally or unintentionally exudes charm to seduce others!
Lotgar calmed down the complex emotions of hope and anger.
In the afternoon, he went to see what the man who was also fascinated by Anna looked like!
When Natalie came back with the invitation, Rotgar had already calmed down the restlessness in his heart.
He expressionlessly took the invitation card that Natalie handed over carefully and put it aside.
Natalie also brought the invitation to Anna. Anna took the invitation with a smile, opened it, and saw that the banquet started at nine o'clock in the evening.
Because she didn't understand the rules here, she asked: "Natalie, how early should I arrive?"
Natalie knew that Anna didn't know the rules of the aristocracy, so she quickly said: "You don't need to be in advance, you can come at nine o'clock or a little after nine o'clock."
"Okay." Anna nodded, then she could just meditate for a while to regain her mental strength after making the extraction solution.
However, she seemed to have forgotten to tell Aip before going out in the morning that she would go back later... Forget it, she had left him enough food anyway, so he wouldn't starve to death.
Anna placed the invitation on her left hand side and continued reading.
The invitation card that Rotgar threw away was right next to her invitation card, and it looked like a pair.
Rotgar saw this scene when he raised his eyes casually. He felt it was a bit dazzling, so he picked up his invitation and threw it to the other side.
Of course Anna couldn't miss his big move. She glanced at him inexplicably and felt that he was like a child having a tantrum and there was no need to pay attention to him.
Natalie looked around, then sat down obediently and continued reading.
Become a one-star mage! Rise up!
After the three of them had dinner together at noon, Natalie and Anna said goodbye for the time being and went home, while Anna took Rotgar with her to Master Dawkins' long-term rental pharmacy.
The two of them had just reached the door of Master Dawkins' pharmacy room. Dawkins, who heard the footsteps, rushed out and said excitedly: "Anna, you are here, I was still afraid of you..."
His words stopped abruptly after seeing Rotgar. His face was a little stunned at first, and then obvious hostility and vigilance appeared on his face.
"Mr. Raymond, although you are a very talented mage, I know that you will become a four-star mage sooner or later, but I tell you, everything comes first and comes later. Anna is mine, don't try to steal it from me. !” Master Dawkins, like a fighting cock, issued a challenge to “Master Raymond”.
Anna, who brought the devil here just to clear up his misunderstanding: "...?"
No, Master Dawkins, are you really okay with saying such ambiguous words
She looked at the demon beside her, and sure enough she saw his face darken.
Rotgar sneered unsurprisingly, he knew that it was another man who was fascinated by Anna!
