Of course Lotgar didn't agree with Anna's words. As the Grand Duke of the Abyss, how could he fall in love with a human
But the feeling just now is also true.
Rotgar quickly figured out that he still had some memories of Raymond, and the feeling he had for Anna just now was obviously a remnant from when he occupied Raymond's body.
After a few days, this feeling will dissipate and he won't have to worry about it at all.
As for why he had to bring Anna back, this was a decision he made very early. He was very unhappy that she was just a human being belittling the demon world, so he asked her to take a closer look at the demon world.
And because of her, he spent five whole months in vain. She still wants to be alone in the human world? It's a beautiful thought.
Rotgar thought and walked into the room next door that belonged to him.
This is Balan's castle. After he returned to the demon world, he brought Anna here directly. There was no one in his castle, but Balan at least had a human woman here, which made it easier to take care of Anna.
Anna didn't know how long she slept again. When she woke up again, she slowly got out of bed.
She still remembered that she was seriously injured by Ai...by Aosta, the kind of serious injury that should at least paralyze her in bed and unable to move. But now, apart from being a little tired and having weakness in her hands and feet, there was nothing wrong with her limbs.
Aosta was really merciless at that time. She treated him to so many roast geese that she actually fed them to the dogs.
The human Epp and the demon Aosta gave Anna completely different feelings. She thought that the human Epp could be considered dead, and what existed now was the demon Aosta who had no connection with her.
Ana looked down. She was now wearing a relatively conservative white nightgown. The collar covered her collarbone, the sleeves were as long as her wrists, and the hem reached her ankles. The temperature in the room was just right, she didn't feel cold or hot.
She slowly walked to the window and opened the curtains.
There were many candles lit everywhere in the room, but it was pitch black outside. Apart from this castle, there was an endless plain in the distance. She always felt like she saw some huge shadow rising and falling in the darkness. .
This is the devil's world.
Anna thought, on the bright side, she could get rid of the honorary title of Xihuan Wang Yuyan. The sixty ways to kill monsters that the devil taught her before might come in handy here.
There was a knock on the door from behind. As soon as Anna turned around, the door opened and two people walked in. One was Catherine who had been guarding her when she woke up before, and the other... didn't seem to be a human being.
The humanoid creature with a female body was only as tall as Catherine's shoulders and had a slender figure. Just looking at her exposed hands, except for the excessively long fingers, they were no different from ordinary human hands. But her head has some rabbit characteristics, red eyes, three lips, two large front teeth, two hanging ears, and a pair of eyes that are larger than ordinary people.
It’s okay to say it’s cute, it’s okay to say it just satisfies the uncanny valley effect and makes it look a little scary, it just depends on the difference in lighting.
For example, now, with plenty of light indoors, this humanoid creature looks very cute.
"Anna, can you get off the bed?" Catherine couldn't help but said in surprise when she saw Anna getting out of bed.
Anna smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you walk slowly."
She said as she slowly walked back to the bed and sat down.
The humanoid rabbit was holding some food in her hands. She walked over quietly and placed the entire tray on the bedside table, then silently stepped aside.
Catherine sat down on the chair next to the bed and looked at Anna with very gentle eyes: "Balan said he was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to accompany you."
Anna smiled: "He is so considerate."
Catherine looked at Anna, who looked at the food on the bedside table, and no one said anything for a while.
Catherine suddenly said to the humanoid rabbit: "Rabbit, please go out first."
The humanoid rabbit bowed and left without making any noise.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Catherine held Anna's hand and frowned and said: "Anna, I am a human just like you. I...I haven't seen a human for several months, and I'm really happy to see it." you."
Anna was stunned, looked at Catherine, and thought that Balan was quite affectionate.
But Catherine looked at the candle in the corner of the room and whispered: "In twenty days, I will marry Balaam."
Anna looked at Catherine in surprise. After all, the devil's words that it was impossible for a devil to fall in love with a human were still in her ears.
"But... can demons really fall in love with humans?" Anna asked hesitantly.
Catherine smiled lightly, her smile was a little shy and seemed a little wistful.
"I don't know...but I want to believe that Balaam loves me."
Anna didn't say anything. She probably still tended to disbelieve it.
How to fall in love if you are of different races
But of course she wouldn't say it out loud to make Catherine unhappy.
Catherine did not continue the topic. She looked at Anna curiously and said: "Anna, Balan once told me that with Lord Rotegar's mouth, no woman would agree to his proposal... I also thought that he It won’t succeed.”
Anna's heart moved, and it turned out that the demon's full name was Rotgar.
Seeing Catherine, who seemed to be a year or two younger than herself, looking at her like a curious baby, Anna's attitude relaxed a little: "Do you want to hear the story?"
Catherine nodded repeatedly: "I want to hear it very much!"
Anna didn't know why she thought of Natalie, and she didn't know how badly Natalie was injured and whether she could recover as well as she did. And Lyon too...
She breathed out slightly to recover her thoughts and said with a smile: "It's a long story. Let's start with the fact that I was framed and fell in front of the carriage of the city lord's son, but I didn't expect that there was a devil hidden in his body."
Anyway, she had already told Lotgar the truth, so it didn't matter what she said. Except for a few things that are not suitable to be told to others, most of them can be told to Catherine like a story.
At the same time, she could also find a way to talk things out of Catherine and learn more about the devil world and the devil.
It's not her style to sit back and wait for death. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Although she has no chance of defeating the devil now, maybe she can find a chance to trick him and escape back to the human world? chances are for people who are prepared!
Anna nodded, but Catherine remembered something, pointed to the things on the bedside table and said, "Anna, you should eat something first."
Anna was actually hungry for a long time, but she had no time to think about it because of business, and the food on the tray looked really shocking, so she deliberately didn't mention it.
Anna looked at Catherine and pointed at the purple-black liquid in the glass with a strange expression: "What is this...it looks poisonous."
Catherine pursed her lips and chuckled: "The food in the devil world is like this. It doesn't look good, but it tastes very good. Really, I haven't been poisoned after eating it for several months."
Anna looked at Catherine's fair and tender skin and beautiful and delicate face, and felt that her words were very credible.
Her stomach growled twice, thinking that she didn't know how long she would stay in the demon world, and it was impossible not to eat, so she raised the glass and smelled it warily.
Vanilla flavored.
The smell wasn't unpleasant, so Anna took a tentative sip.
Although the color looks poisonous, the taste is a bit sweet and minty, and seems to have a bit of floral aroma, which is very delicious.
Anna took a sip and put it down, her eyes falling on another piece of food that was green... like tangled threads of seaweed.
She rolled it up like noodles with a fork, smelled it, and the aroma hit her nose, then stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.
It tastes really good!
The other plate of food looked the most like food from the human world. It was probably a plate of meat and had a nice smell of meat.
Anna had eaten Warcraft meat before, so she ate it happily without asking what kind of meat it was.
Seeing that Anna easily accepted the food from the Demon Realm, Catherine watched from the sidelines for a long time. After she finished eating, she said sincerely: "It took me several days to get used to these foods. You are really amazing."
Anna smiled, she was indeed quite easy to support.
She wiped her mouth and smiled: "Then let's get started."
Perhaps it was because she hadn't communicated with humans for a long time. When Catherine saw that Anna was finally starting to "tell stories," she immediately sat up straight and looked at Anna with a pair of green eyes, full of expectation.
Anna coughed lightly and began her story.
"I have a neighbor named Lily. She has always been jealous of me. She followed me that day and pushed me down in front of the city lord's son's car when I wasn't prepared. It was only when I was carried into the car that I saw his face clearly, and I was possessed at that time. Lotgar was frightened in him."
Catherine wondered: "But Lord Rotgar is as handsome as Balan..."
Anna presented the facts to her and reasoned: "If your Balaam appeared in front of you for the first time, with the body of a snake, would you be afraid?"
Catherine imagined it seriously, nodded in horror and said, "Afraid!"
"Right, he was almost like that to me at the time." Anna said, "A person like this proposes to me as soon as we meet. Do you think I can agree? Of course I immediately refused without hesitation!"
Catherine covered her mouth and chuckled: "I know this. I was there when Lord Rotgar made a bet with Balan. Their bet was abyss tree species. If Lord Rotgar wins, he will come to participate... Me and Balaam’s wedding, if Balaam wins, his abyssal tree seed will belong to Lord Lotgar.”
"What is the abyss tree species?" Anna asked.
Catherine shook her head: "I don't know either. I just know that it is a very precious thing, and Lord Rotgar has been looking for it."
"Oh..." Anna responded, pretending not to care about it, and continued her story.
Anna's story-telling skills were very good, and Catherine listened with great interest, and unconsciously revealed a lot of information under Anna's guidance.
For example, this castle is actually Balan's territory. Rotgar came here directly with her who was seriously injured. She drank a very special potion made from a plant unique to the demon world to recover like this. Fast so good.
Another example is the ins and outs of the bet between Balan and Lotgar, and the content of the bet that was later modified—that is to say, Lotgar will stay in Balan's castle until Balan and Catherine get married, and of course she will too. .
For another example, Catherine's surname is York and she comes from Black Cloud City. The day before her wedding, Balan will go to Black Cloud City to bring her family to the Demon Realm for the wedding.
Anna didn't expect such a coincidence. Catherine was the second daughter of the York family who was abducted by the devil in legend, and the legend turned out to be true! So on the day she first came to Black Cloud City, Balan said that he went to Black Cloud City to see friends. He was probably talking about Catherine's family, right
She didn't tell her about her affair with Hansen. As for the possibility of meeting her on the wedding day... just pretend they don't know each other? After all, the main person who had issues with Hansen was "Raymond", and she was just a "minion".
Anna stopped when she was talking about the forced marriage by Bobby the Butcher. When she met Catherine's expectant eyes, she smiled and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's talk about the rest later."
Catherine suddenly looked disappointed. She was scratching her head and wanted to know how Bobby's matter was resolved. After all, Anna is fine now, isn't she? But Anna said she was tired, so she couldn't ask further questions, so she could only stand up and say, "Then you should rest first."
Anna nodded, but she suddenly remembered something.
She still remembered that when she met Balan outside Black Cloud City, he once said that ordinary humans would die if they came into contact with the air of the demon world. Although she was a mage, she was still a low-level mage. Logically speaking, she was not resistant to the air of the demon world. It would be very strong, but she didn't feel any discomfort now.
In other words, what should be done to her to adapt to the atmosphere here. She still remembers Balan saying that there are many ways, but he prefers to "let the other party bear his mark." What does this mean
"Katherine, I have one more thing to ask you." Anna said, "How did you adapt to the air in the demon world? I heard Balan said that the air in the demon world is fatal to ordinary humans."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she stammered: "I... I..."
Seeing this, Anna waved her hands quickly: "I won't ask anymore!"
Catherine shyly whispered: "Then I'll leave first, Anna, you can have a good rest!"
After saying that, she almost ran away.
Ana retreated to the bed and covered herself with a quilt.
Although Catherine did not answer, her performance was the best answer.
Balan said that he wanted to brand the other party with his mark. Judging from Catherine's reaction, it goes without saying that he must be engaging in pornography!
What about her
How did Rotgar help her resist the influence of the demonic air
Anna covered her face and was unspeakably depressed. What on earth did he do to her when she was seriously injured and unconscious
Anna was hiding under the quilt and thinking wildly. Suddenly, a force came and the quilt was lifted. Rotgar, who was lingering in her mind, stood beside the bed and looked at her condescendingly.
Rotgar heard the news of Catherine leaving and came over after a while. When he came, he saw Anna hiding under the quilt, twisting like an insect, so he lifted the quilt.
"Do you want to suffocate yourself to death?" He looked at Anna and frowned.
Ana put down her hands covering her face, slowly got up and leaned on the head of the bed, picked up the quilt and covered herself, and then denied: "No."
She didn't know whether she should ask or not. If she didn't ask, she would always be thinking about this question, but if she did, what if the answer was a shameful one
She thought about it and decided not to ask. No matter what the method was, she could just pretend not to know! And she felt that at least it was definitely not the method of Balan and Catherine. After all, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Rotgar did not go into details and asked her: "Do you want to see what the devil world looks like?"
"Ah? Well..." Anna was just about to say that she didn't want to go out, but she saw Rotgar's face darken and said quickly, "Okay!"
Now she doesn't have the "reliance" she once misunderstood, so she can show weakness if she can.
Rotgar then relaxed his eyebrows, glanced at Anna, turned around and opened the wardrobe against the wall, only to see that it was filled with all kinds of skirts.
Rotgar stared at it for a long time. He was dazzled by the various colors and styles of skirts in this cabinet. He suddenly walked towards the door and said as he walked: "You choose it yourself."
Seeing the door close, Anna sighed and got off the ground. After rummaging for a long time, she picked out a simple light blue skirt and put it on. There was a light blue headband matching the skirt, and she simply tied up her loose hair.
There were shoes under the wardrobe, and she tried them on. The size was slightly larger than her feet. Fortunately, they were strap-like sandals. The straps could be tightened so they wouldn't fall off.
Then she opened the door and went out.
At the door, Lotgar stood upright on one side. When he saw her coming out, he turned around and walked in the same direction.
Anna quickly followed.
Different from the warmth in the room, the castle corridor outside looked many years old. There were traces of time everywhere. She even saw long bloody handprints on the walls of the castle, and she hurriedly avoided it. There is a quietly burning oil lamp above the corridor, and the mottled light and shadow changes make the entire corridor look particularly dark and terrifying.
Just as Balaam once told her, his castle was full of servants, weird-looking ones, and every one of them trembled and knelt on the ground when Lotgar passed by, showing a state of complete surrender.
Anna followed Rotgar to the terrace at the end of the corridor. She saw that the entire outside world was gray, and there was a light source in the farthest distance. It was unclear whether it was going to sink into the ground or rise into the sky.
"That's the night star." Rotgar saw Anna looking at the light source in the distance and said, "When it sinks into the ground, that's when the night begins."
As he spoke, he moved his shoulders, and huge flesh wings suddenly appeared behind him. When Anna looked back at him in surprise, he stepped forward, hugged Anna's waist, and took her soaring into the sky.
Anna let out a short scream and quickly hugged Rotgar's waist. The wind was roaring in her ears. It took her a while to dare to open her eyes. When she looked down, her legs felt a little weak.
They are at least two hundred meters above the ground!
She used to play the Wind Gathering Technique, which was no more than ten meters above the ground. When she was caught by the three-headed magic eagle, she didn't fly very high. Suddenly she was so high in the air, and the only point of stress was Rotegar holding her. The weightlessness of the hands on her waist tore at her senses, causing her to subconsciously hug Lotgar tightly, and her whole body clung to him.
Rotgar looked down at Anna, curled his lips, flapped his wings, and flew higher.
Anna simply closed her eyes and didn't look. Anyway, she just got used to this feeling of weightlessness. As long as she didn't look, she wouldn't know how high she was flying!
Rotgar's voice seemed to be close at hand with a smile: "Don't you want to see the devil world? Why don't you open your eyes?"
Anna thought to herself, it was obviously him who forced her to see the demon world, okay
She took a deep breath. She was the woman who wanted to defeat the devil from now on, so she couldn't be timid now!
Anna slowly opened her eyes, but as soon as she looked forward, she saw a group of birds with only bones screaming and rushing towards this direction!
She subconsciously recalled the sixty ways to kill monsters that Lotgar taught her when she was still Ulysses. This thing should be a phoenix, right
The way to kill a phoenix is to attack the junction of the second right rib near the sternum, which will cause it to fall apart on the spot, but all bones must be burned immediately after that, otherwise it will resurrect.
But... this number is too much!
When Anna was nervous, the group of menacing phoenixes seemed to have been suddenly slashed in the middle, split into two columns, and flew around them on both sides. No one dared to touch them.
These phoenixes are afraid of Lotgar, the Grand Duke of the Abyss.
Anna suddenly realized that although Rotgar was still the same person, because his identity was different, she did not need to fight the monsters like before.
Of course, this also means that his deterrence in the demon world is really strong, and deterrence is related to personal strength. If she wants to defeat him, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky... No, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky herself.
"Are those phoenixes?" Anna was at a loss for words. "Are they equivalent to the strength of several star mages?"
Rotgar glanced at her: "It's almost the same as you are now."
Anna asked: "Then if I meet them, won't I die without a burial place? If I continue to practice in the demon world, will there be any side effects?"
Rotgar's expression was really hard to explain: "When you arrive in the Demon Realm, are you still thinking about your magic?"
He knew that her favorite thing was spells, but that was in the human world. In the devil world, she was a prisoner. She didn't want to please him in exchange for the right to survive. She was still talking about her spells
Anna said: "Then I have nothing to do here."
There are still twenty days until Catherine and Balaam's wedding, and her injury doesn't require much recuperation. And there's no entertainment here, so what can she do if she doesn't practice
Rotgar was convinced by Anna's words. In fact, he had nothing to do in Balan's castle. If he didn't want to meditate, he could only come and play with Anna.
He remembered that he brought Anna to the Demon Realm for the purpose of letting Anna know how good the Demon Realm is, so he said, "Then let's find something to do now."
Anna: "...?"
Looking for something to do
… Do? do what
Anna was still in shock and confusion, but Rotgar had already hugged her tightly with both hands, and swooped down with her in his arms.
Anna: "...!" The vertical lifts in amusement parks are not so exciting!
She hurriedly lowered her head and pressed it against Rotgar's chest, her heart beating rapidly.
When Rotgar landed smoothly on the ground, Anna's legs were still a little weak.
She looked around. It was not the castle she thought, but a low jungle. There seemed to be small monsters running around, rustling, and making strange sounds, like human screams. It also roars like a monster, making people tremble.
Anna let go of Rotgar and stood firm, glanced at the forest, and then at him: "You brought me here..."
It can't be the wild one...
Anna didn't want to fill her head with pornographic waste, but Catherine's previous inability to speak had a big impact on her. Coupled with Rotgar's words that she thought were extremely ambiguous as she had extensive experience in reading novels, she It’s hard not to want to be crooked.
You really can't blame her.
Rotgar pointed to the jungle and curled his lips: "There is a kind of fruit here. After you eat it, your mental power can be improved from at least two stars to three stars. In the devil world, there are many such good things!"
Hey, is there such a good thing
Anna looked at the invisible jungle and asked Rotgar: "Then what is the price?"
Rotgar curled his lips: "The one guarding that fruit is a monster equivalent to a four-star mage. If you want the fruit, you must kill it first."
"...Forget it, I can't beat him." Anna said.
Rotgar raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.
Anna: "..." What are you doing? Does he want her to beg him
When facing Rotgar, Anna felt that her sense of morality had dropped a lot. Who wouldn't want to take shortcuts? Just as she was about to ask him for help, she felt something stabbing her ankle.
She jumped forward in a hurry and almost threw herself into Rotgar's arms. She grabbed his arm and stood still before looking back at the ground, but there was nothing on the ground.
"Anna?" Rotgar was puzzled by Anna's convulsive behavior just now.
Anna ignored him. She pressed against him again, and then slightly lifted her right ankle that was poked. She saw a blood hole larger than the eye of a needle, but the blood flowing out was blue.
what's the situation! When did she become blue-blooded? !
