Originally, Anna's side had been completely resolved. She had protected Leon's face. Grace really thought that "Aria of Light" was a gift from Dawkins. Magnolia had no intention of participating for the time being. She could naturally succeed on her own. Retreat and leave happily.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's, who would have expected that this devil would suddenly pop up and start a dispute with just one sentence.
Anna didn't need to look back to know how dazzling the sight behind her was. In order to defend her victory, she looked at the devil with doubts on her face: "What did you say? I just took it over. Speaking of the potion you helped make, she said Master Jins just told me that when he sees you, he wants me to tell you that he will share 10% of his future profits with you."
Rotgar frowned: "I don't lack that little money."
"Whether you are lacking or not, you deserve it. Master Dawkins doesn't want to take advantage of you, so I think you can just keep it. Anyway, you don't need to do anything more." Anna saw that the devil was really impressed by her words. She shifted her attention and quickly followed his words and continued to change the subject, "What have you been doing this week? Why didn't you come to the association?"
As she spoke, she walked up to the devil and deliberately guided him away. As long as she could get out of the sight of Leon and others, it didn't matter what the devil said later.
Rotgar sneered: "If you really care about what I do, why don't you come to me?"
She would take the initiative to find him only when she was sick!
Anna glanced at him and said, "I thought you were avoiding me."
Rotgar: "..."
Rotgar was indeed hiding from Anna this week. The unspeakable dream made him very embarrassed when facing Anna. He hated this feeling of losing control, so he simply stayed at Raymond's house and meditated for seven days. .
He didn't come back until he completely pushed those images out of his mind. The feeling of control that he wouldn't think of those images when he saw Anna made him much more comfortable.
But seeing her hanging out with Leon still made him feel very unhappy, and his words would certainly not sound very nice.
Although Anna was right, Rotgar would certainly not admit it. He said lightly: "I am recuperating my mental strength at home."
Ana doubted: "Didn't you say you were fine?"
Rotgar said calmly: "It's not all right."
"But you came to the association that day after you were injured earlier. Your injury was more serious at that time, right?"
"… so what?"
Anna looked at Rotgar speechlessly, and Rotgar looked at her coldly, as if he was really on the right side as long as his attitude was calm enough.
"Master Raymond, how is your injury?"
While Anna and Rotgar were looking at each other, Magnolia interrupted with a slightly worried voice.
Magnolia really couldn't bear the scene before her. Raymond was obviously a proud noble young master, so why did he quarrel like a child with that civilian mage apprentice? She couldn't stand it anymore, so she interrupted them loudly.
Rotgar glanced at Magnolia who was speaking. Because of the pendant around her neck, he thought of her, but as if he didn't hear her, he only glanced at it and then looked away, staring at Anna and said: " What did you do behind my back this week when I was away?"
Although he was freed from the trouble of those images, when he thought that Anna might have had an unusual relationship with someone else during the week he was away, there was anger ready to rise in his chest.
She is his, and no one else can touch her.
What a line for a domineering boss and jealous husband!
Anna covered her face. She had saved Leon's face just now, but her own face was about to be lost...
"I spent every day this week in the apothecary room with Natalie to prepare the potion. What exactly was prepared? I saved the experimental notes. You can come and see if you want." Anna finished speaking calmly and looked past Rotgar. Go downstairs.
When she feels embarrassed, she can just walk away. As long as she looks calm, others won't be able to see her shame.
Rotgar didn't expect Anna to leave now. He had no interest in the remaining people, so of course he followed her.
Magnolia, who had just spoken but was ignored, looked at the two of them leaving with an ugly expression, and then heard Leon say: "I still have potions to prepare, please do as you please."
Leon said calmly as usual, then returned to the pharmacy where he applied and closed the door.
In his hand, he still held tightly the "Aria of Light" that Anna gave him.
"Leon!" Grace looked at Leon just shutting herself out, with a look of disappointment on her face.
It was not possible to force her way into the potion room. She had tried to do so once, when Leon was preparing the potion, and she really angered him, so she didn't dare to do it this time.
"Grace, don't worry, he is your fiancé. Since he has not canceled the engagement after so many years, you don't have to worry about him being seduced by other women." Magnolia comforted, "As long as your house is still dark The richest nobleman in Cloud City, then he will never leave you. And as long as you persist, sooner or later he will truly fall in love with you."
Grace looked at Magnolia expectantly: "Will such a day really happen?" She raised her slender white hands and held them as if there was something in her palms. "I have no elemental affinity. The Mage Association It's a place beyond my reach, but he spends most of his time here. It's really hard for me not to see him. If only... If only he could see me in his eyes. "
Magnolia held Grace's hand and whispered: "Grace, if you cut off Leon's wings and trap him next to you, then he will not be the man you love."
Grace seemed to wake up from her dream and smiled gratefully at Magnolia: "I know... thank you, I won't do anything to make Leon sad."
Magnolia smiled and said, "Yes, Leon did nothing wrong. You shouldn't hurt him."
When Grace heard this, she looked forward, and the two people could no longer even see their backs.
"That woman..." she asked hesitantly. Leon was still the same Leon as before. If Leon didn't do anything wrong, then someone else must have done something wrong.
"Her name is Anna. I once met her at a banquet. She has a very close relationship with Master Raymond." Magnolia chuckled, "I didn't expect that she actually knew Leon."
Grace suddenly held Magnolia's hand tightly and looked at Magnolia like a weak person begging the strong for help: "Marge, help me. I can't let any woman take away Lyon."
The curve of Magnolia's mouth deepened, and she whispered softly: "Of course, you are my best friend, and I am willing to do anything for you."
Anna didn't react much after noticing that the devil had been following her. Anyway, as long as she didn't stay in the suffocating scene just now.
Seeing the demon reappearing, Anna was naturally a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. As expected, he did not let her go.
The pharmacy Ana applied for today was on the first floor. Natalie was already inside. She pushed the door open and closed the door behind her.
"Anna!" Natalie laughed when she saw Anna, "I finally successfully completed the twelfth potion!"
"Congratulations!" Anna praised sincerely. With her help, Natalie worked very hard and has completed half of the review plan for preparing potions.
Natalie smiled shyly, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the door being pushed open forcefully, and Master Raymond striding in with a bad expression.
"Ray, Master Raymond!" Natalie didn't expect that the person who had been missing for nearly a week would suddenly appear, and she was a little surprised for a moment.
Rotgar, whose face was almost hit by the door panel and therefore looked very bad, did not look at Natalie, but only stared at Anna.
She turned her side face towards him. The smile she had shown Natalie just now had faded away, and the lines on her side face were cold and hard, as if she was deliberately trying to anger him like this.
Rotgar suddenly looked at Natalie and asked coldly: "What kind of flies have been around Anna this week?"
"Ah?" Natalie looked confused, what, what fly
Anna turned to one side and stood in front of Natalie, looking at Rotgar and frowning: "Why are you scaring her?"
Rotgar was very unhappy when he saw Anna protecting Natalie like a calf, and said with a cold face: "I didn't scare her."
"She was almost scared to tears by you!" Anna retorted.
"What does her timidity have to do with me?"
"She is fine with me, so why does she become so timid when she sees you?" Anna sneered, "This is the pharmacy I applied for, please get out."
Rotgar did not expect Anna to chase him away. He looked at her coldly and of course he would not leave.
"Kick me out if you can."
Natalie didn't actually "cry" as Anna said, but seeing the two of them quarreling because of her, she was really about to cry now.
But she didn't dare to say anything, she could only look at the two of them anxiously, for fear that they would fight.
We are all mages, so it is normal for us to take action if we disagree. Even though Anna is still just a mage apprentice, Natalie knows that Anna dares to attack Master Raymond!
Of course Anna couldn't drive the demon out, but she could ignore him.
So, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, then turned to look at Natalie: "Let's move on to the next potion."
Natalie was stunned, not daring to look at Master Raymond's expression at the moment, and whispered: "Okay!"
Seeing Anna and Natalie starting preparations for the next potion as if no one else was watching, Rotgar felt his victory at first, but later found that she didn't even look at him and completely ignored him.
This annoying woman!
Rotgar was very angry when he found out that he was ignored, but he didn't do anything. He just stared at Anna coldly, but as he watched, the anger in his chest gradually dissipated.
She was talking to Natalie about the key points of preparing the next potion, her eyebrows were soft, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were encouraging. After finishing speaking, she went to the other side of the experimental table, frowned at the notes for a while, and started preparing her own potion.
He couldn't help but think that this woman was undoubtedly beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't be able to offend so many men. If only she could share half of her passion for magic with him...
Rotgar was suddenly startled and added with a sneer: Then he can successfully complete the bet.
What about after completing the bet
The question that suddenly popped up in his mind stumped Rotgar. He stared at Anna for a long time before he vaguely came up with an idea.
Of course, we need to take Anna back to the demon world, otherwise how can we prove to Balan that he won
What Anna is preparing now is a potion that can be made at the one-star mage stage. It will not explode during the preparation process, it will not hurt anyone if it fails, and the cost is not high.
She completed the potion preparation for the mage apprenticeship stage ahead of schedule, and would continue to come to the apothecary room to accompany Natalie. Dawkins's task did not take her much time now, so she planned to do it first and see what happened later.
After completing the preparation of the potion step by step, Anna had a deeper understanding of her own strength.
It is not difficult for her to make the potions that a one-star mage should master. The only thing that prevents her from completing all the potions at the one-star stage is gold coins.
Many of the potions at the one-star mage level are no longer available to ordinary people. The raw materials are very expensive, and there are about twenty kinds of potions in total. If she had to make them all, it would cost at least ten gold coins. How can she afford this now? money!
Anna, who was already a rich man among the common people but still poor among the mages, frowned in annoyance.
Even if she passes the promotion test to become a one-star mage and becomes a baron, her annual salary is only ten gold coins. This is a symbolic income for a mage and can be spent in one day.
Thinking of the tasks in the association's task column that paid dozens or dozens of gold coins, Anna couldn't help but clenched her fists. It seemed that if she wanted to get money quickly, she had to go to the line between life and death to catch the Warcraft. She would be patient for now, and when she became a two-star mage, she could go on missions alone. According to her progress, she will soon be able to pass the two-star mage exam, and the expenses during this period will be almost enough by helping Dawkins make the extraction solution.
Anna was seriously planning for her future, but when she looked up, she found that the devil was still in the pharmacy, even staring at her.
Caught off guard, Anna met her eyes. She didn't expect that she would be the first to look away.
She felt flustered for no reason and took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat.
Yes, she almost forgot that the devil still had a hand in her future. It was hard to say whether she could follow her planned path.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be a problem to become a two-star mage. It won't take her long. She will definitely be able to do it before the devil's patience runs out.
Anna continued to prepare the second potion. She bought a total of three potion raw materials today and spent almost a gold coin. She is still in pain.
Rotgar looked on and suddenly said abruptly: "It is better to use gold elements than light elements in the second half."
Anna has been doing pre-processing and potion preparation for so long, and she has already mastered it to the point where others will not be frightened if they suddenly make a sound. Knowing the level of demons, she almost without thinking changed the light element to the gold element when she heard the words.
The potion had a slight shock, but because of Anna's solid mental micro-control, the conversion was quick and it quickly calmed down.
Ten minutes later, the potion called "Spine of Mountains and Rivers" was successfully prepared. After taking "Spine of Mountains and Rivers", it can help the mage focus quickly, and the effect of meditation can be doubled.
The sign of success of this potion is that the color of the liquid suddenly changes to light yellow, and it emits a light fragrance like osmanthus.
Anna picked up the bottle of magic potion, used her hand as a fan, and fanned the aroma wafting from the potion toward herself. She smelled it gently, and a strong lily aroma rushed straight to her brain.
Anna almost knocked over the potion.
What a scent! What about the light osmanthus fragrance you promised? Why is there such a strong lily scent
Anna suddenly felt a little dizzy, a bit like being drunk. She was happy and sad for the first time in her life when she graduated from college. She became a fool after drinking at the class graduation party and was dragged back to the dormitory by her roommate. Now she feels like this , seems to be gradually approaching the feeling of that time.
Anna used her last strength to put the potion on the experimental table. This was her persistent love for the gold coins.
Then her legs weakened and she fell under the experimental table.
"Anna!" Natalie was in the process of preparing it when she suddenly heard a thud. Her mental strength immediately went into chaos, and the potion in her hand was immediately useless. But how could she care about it now? Seeing that Anna seemed to have fainted, She hurriedly ran over to help her.
But someone was faster than her.
Rotgar rushed to the experimental table like a wind, squatted down and half held Anna in his arms to check on her condition.
Except for the slight redness on her forehead when she fell, there was no external injury. At this time, her eyes were closed and her expression was relatively stable. Before she collapsed just now, it seemed that she had just smelled the newly prepared potion.
"What's wrong with Anna?" Natalie's voice was filled with panic.
Rotgar did not reply to her. He looked up at the potion on the experimental table. Just as he reached out to take it, his outstretched hand was held by someone.
He suddenly lowered his head and saw that Anna had opened her eyes, but her expression was a little strange, as if she was trapped in a dream, and there seemed to be water in her sky-blue eyes.
She held his hand, pressed it gently on her chest, tilted her head, and smiled innocently and charmingly: "Do you want me?"
Rotgar's breathing suddenly stopped.
