Anna was lying on the bed with her back to Rotgar, and she really didn't want to talk to him.
She closed her eyes and thought she had fallen asleep, but everything that had just happened in the bathroom kept flashing through her mind.
She couldn't help but sneer, a man's mouth is a liar.
Rotgar said before that he would wait for the day when she willingly surrendered to him, and she was grateful that he had such a gentlemanly side, but she didn't expect that he was just talking about it!
Why, does he think that if he doesn't really take the last step, it won't be considered a broken promise
Anna covered her face in depression, she really believed Balaam's evil deeds! A thousand-year-old virgin just enjoys a name for nothing. Rotgar knows so much that even she, a time traveler from an era where information is so advanced, feels inferior to her.
A hand stretched out from behind, hugged Anna and pulled her back. Her back hit Rotgar's hard chest, her body stiffened, and she continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
Of course, Rotgar felt the changes in Anna's body. He was breathing lazily at the moment. He held Anna in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and smiled softly: "Sleep? That's fine. Let's continue training with such intensity tomorrow. .”
“Continue like this tomorrow”…
Anna found the keyword and was about to cry. It was her fault, she should not have opened Pandora's Box that day. If she had understood Rotgar's intentions earlier and understood that she was not without a way out at that time, she would not have taken off her clothes and turned from passive to active... to the point of giving He got off to a "good start."
Ana sighed in her heart, and her body slowly relaxed.
Forget it, it’s just that she’s not as good as others, just wait until she becomes stronger!
Perhaps because he had already been satisfied in the bathroom, Rotgar just held Anna in his arms and didn't do anything more.
Anna fell asleep quickly after a tiring day, and her sleep quality was also very good.
The next day, Anna was trained by Rotgar for a half day. Fortunately, she was only half exhausted and could walk without his help. While cooking for herself, she asked him curiously: "Can I have a look at the abyss tree species?"
Rotgar said generously: "We'll go see it after you finish eating."
Anna quickly finished her lunch and followed Rotgar to his room.
It was still the same box. Rotgar opened it and pulled out a small box from the corner. After opening it, he saw a crystal-clear oval... stone lying casually inside.
Anna glanced at Rotgar: "Can I pick it up and take a look?"
Rotgar handed the box to Anna.
She picked up this thing called an abyss seed, which was about the size of a date core. She originally thought it was really a seed, but it didn't look like an organic substance at all, but rather an inorganic substance. But when she picked it up, she felt it was soft and flexible when she pinched it lightly.
After Anna subconsciously finished squeezing, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask if she could do it. She looked at Rotgar and said, "I just accidentally pinched it..."
"It's okay." Rotgar said nonchalantly.
Anna felt relieved and carefully observed the abyss tree species. She discovered that although this thing was said to be transparent, in fact, some strange fluctuations could be seen in the middle, as if there were silver threads shaking in the center. After seeing it more, she found it a bit nice.
Anna had just finished watching and put the abyssal tree species back into the box when she saw Rotgar pulling out a few things from the bottom of the box.
The same is a bracelet, the same is a short cane, the same is a belt.
She looked carefully and realized that these three items were actually "staffs" and they looked really old.
Rotgar first picked up the belt and threw it aside, then gave the bracelet and short cane to Anna: "Try which one you like."
Anna took the bracelet first and carefully probed into it with her spiritual power. She was immediately attracted by the magic circuit inside. Although the spell circuits here are not as complicated as those in the teleportation array, they are still more complicated than those equivalent to three- and four-star spells she saw yesterday. There is even a mental power amplification spell circuit that she just learned about. In other words, with her current strength, she might be able to use this staff to instantly cast the equivalent of four or five stars of high-level magic. Spells.
She put down the bracelet and went to check the short cane. Because this cane was large enough and inlaid with more empty crystals, it hid more spell circuits. She could still use her mental power to amplify the spell circuits and use many of them. Spells.
Anna was upgraded from a mage apprentice to a two-star mage too quickly, and then came to the demon world, where she had the same mental power as a three-star mage. The average three-star mage always has his own staff. She has one thing and another, so the staff is naturally not a priority.
But now, she has two top-notch staffs in front of her, allowing her to use the five-star mage's staff all the time. Although this staff is not custom-made and is not completely suitable for her, she has six elemental affinities and she can use many of the spells in these staffs, which is better than nothing.
As the saying goes, children make choices, adults want them all.
"I like both." Anna said shamelessly. She even glanced at the belt that Rotgar threw aside and said, "Can I look at that again?"
In the past, Rotgar would have labeled Anna as greedy, but now he just thinks her greedy look is very cute.
He pointed to the belt and said, "It's broken, there's no need to look at it."
Then he saw Anna's expectant expression instantly turn into disappointment, and he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
Anna saw that the belt was indeed from the same era as the bracelet and cane in her hand, and had aged badly. Thinking that having the two treasures in her hand was enough, she didn't take another look at the belt.
She looked at the bracelet and short cane again, and thought for a moment that with her strength, she might only be able to use the spells embedded in the staff once or twice. It would be useless to have more staffs, so she put the short cane back into the box. Put the bracelet on.
This bracelet is made of silver, about the thickness of a finger, and is studded with hollow crystals. The silver light and the reflected light of the hollow crystals complement each other, and the style is very good.
"Thank you, I like this very much." Anna turned her wrist and watched the bracelet change light and dark as she turned. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful it looked.
Rotgar held Anna's bracelet-wearing hand and pulled her up: "Go and try."
Anna followed Lotgar downstairs and tried out her new staff at the back of the castle.
The first thing she tried was the thunder spell circuit in the bracelet. After all, she was the most familiar with thunder spells. She couldn't see the effect just by looking at the magic circuit. This time when she probed into her spiritual power, it was not the previous test, but a direct attempt to activate the magic circuit.
A bolt of thunder and lightning suddenly shot straight into the air from her hand, and then a thunder and lightning rain fell five meters in front of her. The finger-thick thunder and lightning were densely covered like rain, and a space of about a hundred square meters was covered by the thunder and lightning rain. She You can even feel your hairs standing up slightly.
When the thunder and lightning that lasted for nearly ten seconds dissipated, she saw that the land of about a hundred square meters had been hit with a large crater almost half a meter deep.
Those thunder and lightning rains are not independent of each other, but are connected into a whole. Within the range covered by the thunder and lightning rain, the attacked person bears the power of the entire thunder and lightning rain.
Anna looked at the effect of this spell in shock, and said after a while: "I'll name it 'Great Heavenly Punishment'!"
Then she realized that half of the mental energy she had recovered before the meal was gone.
Hui Hui, who was digging the ground not far away, and Bai Mao and his companions who were helping Hui Hui, all looked at this scene in shock, dumbfounded that Anna could actually cast a spell of the level of "Great Heavenly Punishment".
Rotgar only felt that the power was unsatisfactory, but with Anna's current mental strength, she could not control a more powerful staff, otherwise he would make a new one for her.
"Try something else," he said.
This almost four-star spell was cast by herself. Anna felt excited. Her mental power penetrated the bracelet, and this time she chose a water spell.
His mental power was drained almost instantly, and a blue light rushed forward, formed into a ball in mid-air, quickly spun, and expanded into the size of a yoga ball within a second, followed by sharp arrow-like water droplets that could not be guessed. The water droplets shoot out outwards in a regular pattern, and there is no place to hide in the entire spherical space covered by the water droplet range. The radius of this spherical space is five meters.
Anna didn't control the position of the center of the spell circle well. She happened to be within the attack range of the spell, but Rotgar kept watching. After the spell was issued, he immediately took her away from the attack range of the water spell and did not let her get hurt. .
Anna was in a safe zone again before she had time to be scared. She felt like a toddler playing with a gun now, unable to fully grasp the bracelet.
When she cast "Great Heavenly Punishment", she still had enough mental power, so she could control it to stay away from her, but when she cast the second spell, she didn't have much mental power and couldn't control it.
Therefore, if she encounters a desperate situation, she can throw out the second spell. But in the demon world, there was Rotgar beside her, so she didn't need to fight with him for the time being.
Anna pushed Rotgar away and sat down to meditate to restore her mental strength. For now, she only needs to master the two spells in the bracelet and use them as special moves.
After she recovered, Anna tried the "Great Heavenly Punishment" and the water spell she named "Big Water Ball" again - it was really difficult to name it, so she just called it casually, since she wouldn't know how to do it in the future. Shouted in front of others...
Before sitting down to meditate for the third time today, Anna suddenly remembered something very curious, and asked Rotgar: "What does it feel like to be possessed?"
Rotgar looked at Anna with interest and said, "Want to give it a try?"
He had never possessed a woman before, but if it was Anna, he would be willing to try it, no... he would really like to try it.
Anna was a little moved. According to her past experience, the possessed person will lose the memory of the period of possession, and the process of being possessed should not be uncomfortable, otherwise Rotgar would not propose to let her Try it.
But she suddenly remembered something and asked: "After possessing me, can you know everything about me?"
In the past, Lotgar seemed to show different personalities when he possessed different people. Later, he let himself go, completely undisguised. Except for her, no one else suspected that he was possessed, so she had every reason to believe that he could obtain some information about the possessed person while possessing him.
Rotgar felt a little regretful when Anna asked this question, but he did not hide it: "I can get part of the memory."
Anna immediately said, as Rotgar expected, "Then I won't try."
She didn't want to share such a personal memory. In addition to the reason that it was extremely embarrassing for others to see her memories, she also had some little secrets that she didn't want Rotgar to know.
Rotgar smiled: "When you want to try it, tell me anytime."
"I know." Anna responded, but what she was thinking was never.
After Anna regained her mental strength through meditation, she was pulled by the proactive Lotgal to continue training.
The spells cast using the bracelet only consume mental energy, but sparring with Rotgar consumes both physical and mental energy. By the time Anna wants to save some energy for herself, it is already too late.
When she was carried into the castle by Rotgar like yesterday, she said angrily: "You did it on purpose!"
Rotgar's steps were steady, and he raised his eyes and said, "Anna, you want me to teach you, train you, and make you as strong as me... I'm just satisfying you."
Anna immediately remembered the words she said that day and the circumstances in which she said them. She shrank her shoulders and buried her head in Rotgar's chest.
Well, she brought it upon herself…
However, it is great to feel that I am really getting stronger. She gets closer to her goal every day.
As for the "suffering" she suffered during this period, she can endure it!
Anna looked at Rotgar who put herself in the wooden bathtub and took a step back to look at her condescendingly. She said to herself, it doesn't matter, just be patient and let it pass.
…
However, he is too good at it!
After a few more days of training like this, Rotgar said to Anna this morning: "You can go to the abyss today."
Anna was refreshed. The abyss, the place she had been curious about for a long time, could finally be seen with her own eyes.
Rotgar brought the abyssal tree species. Anna had nothing to bring, so she only brought herself.
The two came to the castle terrace. Anna opened her arms and hugged Rotgar's waist, and he carried her up to the sky.
Rotgar said: "From here to the abyss, even I have to fly for a long time."
Anna suggested: "Maybe we can find some flying monsters to take us there."
Lotgar immediately refused: "No, they are not as fast as me."
He hugged Ana tightly, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said: "Hold me tight."
Then, he suddenly increased his speed.
At first, Anna only felt that it was as exciting as flying on an airplane, but then she got used to it. She even raised her head slightly and said loudly in his ear against the wind: "You have been flying for so long, do you want to take a rest?"
Rotgar sneered and refused: "No need!"
How could he be so useless that he couldn't stand it after only flying for such a short time
Seeing Rotgar's refusal, Anna stopped talking.
After flying for about another hour, Rotgar's speed slowed down.
Anna no longer hid in his arms and turned to look forward.
There is a black hole ahead.
Anna had seen photos of black holes circulated on Weibo in the past, with a black center and a circle of bright spots around it. The scene in front of her was quite similar to the photo she had seen.
Just looking at the photos is completely different than seeing the "real thing" up close. She knew that she was still far away from the "abyss". In her eyes, the abyss was only the size of the sun hanging in the sky, but she seemed to feel a strong attraction.
But when she looked away, the attraction disappeared.
She suddenly remembered the famous saying: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.
When used here, it doesn't violate harmony at all. When she doesn't look at the abyss, the abyss doesn't "look" at her, and she doesn't feel the attraction of the abyss. But when she looks at the abyss, it "looks" at her, attracting her strongly.
Anna stared at the abyss getting closer and closer to her, and suddenly said: "You are very powerful if you can climb out of the abyss..."
She now understands that the so-called crawling out can be considered a metaphor or a "fact".
In her world, not even light can escape from a black hole. This abyss is only slightly similar to a black hole, but it is definitely not the same thing. Otherwise, if she were so close to it now, she would have been sucked in by the huge gravity, and even the entire There will be nothing left in the demon world.
But the abyss is indeed very "attractive" to her, which is more of a psychological feeling. She guessed that Rotgar and the five demons flew out of it with wings, but this attraction probably made their "escape" very difficult. In the process of fighting against the attraction of the abyss, It must be very embarrassing to be dragged away, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "climbing out".
Rotgar raised his eyebrows: "Can you feel the attraction of the abyss?"
"Yes, it's so obvious!" Anna said, "If I had wings, I would probably fly towards it."
Hearing this, Rotgar tightened his arms around Anna, frowned and said, "Hold tight, don't let go."
"Don't worry, I won't let go." Anna looked at the abyss that seemed to be floating on the earth and asked, "What does it look like in the abyss?"
Rotgar also looked at the abyss. After a moment of silence, he said: "It's a mass of chaos. There is no up, down, front or back, no direction, no exit."
Ana looked at him, raised her hand and touched his cheek: "You're out already."
Rotgar pinched Anna's waist and held her higher, kissed her lips gently, and whispered: "Yes, I have come out."
Anna quickly put her arms around Rotgar's neck and kissed him back. When he let go of her, she observed his expression and felt that she could ask again, so she said, "Are you in there when you are conscious?"
Perhaps the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms reduced the fear of facing the abyss. Rotgar kissed her cheek gently and responded briefly: "Yes."
Anna was a little itchy from his kiss, so she dodged and continued to ask curiously: "Then did you look like children when you came out of it, or is this what you look like now?"
"My appearance has never changed." Rotgar replied. Although Anna's question was tricky, he didn't dislike it and was happy to answer her.
He used to feel disgusted when he saw Balan and Catherine sticking together, but it was his turn to realize that he really wished he could hold Anna all the time and listen to her asking random questions without getting bored.
Anna heard this and said pitifully: "You have been deprived of your childhood. How pitiful."
Rotgar looked at Anna with an incomprehensible expression.
Anna turned her head and continued to look into the abyss.
She just couldn't help but imagine what Rotgar would look like if he had a childhood. Just thinking about it made her find it interesting.
Looking at the abyss that seemed to be faintly breathing, Anna asked: "You brought the abyss tree seed, what are you going to try?" She said and took out the crystal clear tree seed.
Rotgar was no longer wary of Anna escaping, nor did he care about letting her hold the abyssal tree seed. He was still very eager to lift the curse of the abyss, but Anna had said that she could help him when he had an attack next time, and he felt that lifting the curse of the abyss was no longer so urgent.
"Get closer to the abyss and see if it changes." Rotgar said. He had already tried unsuccessfully before, and since no one could teach him how to do it, he had to try various methods on his own.
Anna nodded. After all, it was just a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor.
Before she saw the true appearance of the abyss, she thought that there might be a way to lift the curse of the abyss, but after seeing its true appearance, she felt very confused. The abyss seems disembodied and elusive, with no direction to try at all.
Rotgar flew forward with Anna for a while, until the abyss was nearly one meter in diameter in Anna's eyes.
Anna held the abyss tree seed in her hand and saw no changes.
Rotgar flew further inside, but the tree species still showed no reaction.
Before Rotgar said anything, Anna comforted him and said, "I will help you think of other solutions."
Rotgar was not disappointed by the lack of response from the abyssal tree species. After all, he had been used to this kind of thing for thousands of years, but he liked hearing Anna comfort him like this.
"you said."
But at this moment, Anna saw a shadow hanging in the air in the other direction. When she saw the shadow clearly, she was suddenly startled.
"Anna?" Rotgar noticed something strange about Anna and followed her gaze.
The figure over there also noticed this and turned his head.
That's Aosta.
Rotgar hugged Anna tightly and almost immediately felt the tension in Anna's body.
He remembered that Anna had almost died at the hands of Aosta.
He was almost too late to save Anna.
When Anna was seriously injured by Aosta, although Rotgar was angry, he was not so angry that he lost his mind, because at that time he did not really realize his feelings for Anna.
But now, seeing Aosta again, and feeling Anna's strangeness when facing Aosta - he thought it was fear - he suddenly felt that it was time to turn the five Abyss Grand Dukes into four.
The relationship between Rotgar and Aosta was thousands of years apart, but they were all the Dukes of the Abyss, and no one could do anything to anyone. He didn't even bother to let Balan join him in besieging Aosta, so this situation continued. Now.
Rotgar held Anna and landed slowly, held Anna's cheek and said to her: "Wait for me here. I will prevent him from hurting you again."
