When Earl Wilson was passing by with the Son, Anna had already recovered, suppressed her excitement, stepped aside like Abigail and the others, and saluted respectfully.

The earl and his party walked straight by without paying attention to the four of Anna.

When they walked away, the four men suddenly came alive from the statue state.

Fiona whispered and excitedly said as if afraid they would hear it, "Have you heard that, the noble lord just now seems to be a holy son!"

"I heard it!" Abigail beamed his eyes with excitement. "The appearance of the Son is really a gift from a goddess. It's so holy. I think it's blasphemous even when I look at him more."

Several people have never talked about the Saint Son before. Anna only learned of the existence of the Son from Dibian. She also whispered: "You said, why did the Son come here?"

"Um...like Ulysses-sama, are you here to stay temporarily?" Kaili thought of this possibility and was extremely excited, "Can I see the beautiful and noble Son every day?"

"Wow, if it's true, that would be great!" Abigail clenched his fist and shouted.

Anna felt it was impossible.

Ulysses will stay in Earls Court temporarily due to injuries, most likely because there is no Mage Association in Blue Rock City. Earl Wilson and Ulysses seem to have a very similar relationship. But there is a church in Blue Rock City. The Holy Son of the Temple does not live in the church.

Therefore, she thinks that the Son is only here to visit and will leave soon.

It would be great if he could pull the devil in front of him and shake it before the Son of God left.

Anna thought so, and glanced back inadvertently, suddenly seeing the demon standing not far away, she was shocked suddenly and almost yelled out.

Is his head so iron, holy son, don't know how to hide?

Although she had clearly met the devil and looked at her, Anna pretended not to see it, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Did the devil recognize the identity of the son? Did Shengzi see the devil?

If the answers to these two questions were both yes, then she would have hoped for Shengzi in vain.

But fortunately, she has been disappointed many times, and Shengzi will disappoint her again, and her emotions can still remain stable.

Anyway, she had decided to rely on herself a long time ago. If there is an outsider who can help her to get rid of the devil, it is a surprise. If not, doesn't she still have herself?

Anna and Abigail talked about the Saint Child while walking towards the kitchen, and ignored the demon not far away.

And Rothgarh discovered Anna’s obsession with the silver-haired man on his forefoot, and then saw that she clearly saw him but pretended not to see it. Obviously he had a gesture of new love and forgotten old love, and the breath in his chest could not be eliminated. went.

How could there be such a fickle, greedy, and never contented human woman! Doesn't she know that there is something that she missed if she missed it?

Rothgar remembered quickly, it seemed that he himself gave the illusion that what Anna had missed could still be brought back.

First, Parish’s proposal, then Ulysses’ proposal, and after she refused, now whether it is Parish or Ulysses, they are still circling her. How can this fact not increase her self-confidence?

Perhaps what she thought was that even if she couldn't win the silver-haired man, there was still a four-star mage and a son of the city lord waiting for her. She had a perfect escape route, why not try it?

After realizing this, Rothgar was even more angry.

He wanted to make her regret it, but his purpose was her, it was impossible to really let her hook up with others.

Rothgar thought more and more frustrated, and finally resisted the urge to ruin something.

He decided to give Anna another opportunity to observe. If she just simply appreciates it, if she really targets the silver-haired man, then he will be attached to him, and after taking her down, let her feel him well. Anger!

Anna, who was completely ignorant of everything, gave Rotgar lunch, and he didn't show anything unusual.

Before dinner, Anna heard from the excited discussion of the kitchen maid. It turned out that the Son of God had stayed here, and there would be a banquet to welcome him in the evening, but Anna was going home, so naturally she couldn't see it. Because Ulysses, who was possessed by the devil, was also invited to the dinner, Anna didn't have to send dinner to the devil, but could go home early.

Anna had been thinking about the Son of God before seeing Dibian. It was really weird that he stayed in the Earls Court.

When seeing Dibian, Anna asked him anxiously: "Dibian, there is a holy son in the earl's mansion... Do you think it is for you?"

Dibian usually stays in the ruins. The dark lines on his face prevent him from talking to others. All real-time information about the outside world comes from Anna. He frowned slightly when he heard what she said. After thinking about it, he said: "It should not be. I was hunted down by a group of priests in disguise, and there should be no holy son there... I think he may have passed through here because of a trial."

Trial?

Anna remembered what Dubian had said, that the pope would select from the temple sons who had undergone trials. There should be more than one son. There should always be a bit of redundancy. Only those who have completed the trial are eligible to be candidates for the pope. people.

So, that silver-haired saint is very likely to become the pope in the future?

Anna vaguely understood the reason why the Son did not go to the church, but had to stay in the earl's mansion.

The Goddess of Light is actually just a false name. It cannot control the believers. The factional struggle in the Holy See is bound to be fierce. This saint child may not belong to the same faction with Father Louis, so it is for his own safety not to go to the priest's site.

"Is Saint Son good?" Anna asked curiously.

Dibian said: "The saint children usually come out for trials after becoming a three-star pastor. However, because the time of the trials of the saint sons during the same period is the same, and their talents are different, it is impossible to determine the specific pastors of the stars."

Anna recalled the holy appearance of the silver-haired saint, and felt that his appearance was so compelling, at least it was a four-star priest, right?

Ordinary four-star wizards can't deal with demons, and four-star priests think she should have a good chance.

However, at this moment Anna was more worried about Dibian, and she asked worriedly: "Will the saint child see that I have been in contact with a dark magician? Will there be any dark elements on my body?"

Dibian couldn’t help but smiled: “No, even if you are a pure dark elemental affinity body, without testing, the pope will not be able to see your physique when he comes in person. Mage often uses a certain element, and it will always be in the body. There are some subtle changes in the inside, which can be seen by the same mage. Because I am a pure dark mage, I usually can only use dark elements, and now my mental power is weak, the dark elements in my body are out of control and appear, even ordinary people. It can be seen that I am a dark magician. But as long as the Son does not recognize me face to face, he will not know that you are in contact with me."

It turns out that the changes caused by the dark element can be seen, not the dark element itself.

When Dibian said this, Anna was relieved, otherwise she would have to hide from the Son, lest Dibian would be harmed.

For Dibian, the dark magician, being discovered by the Saint Child can be more tragic than being discovered by the devil.

The devil is at best going to Dibian’s body to deceive her soul. When he leaves Dibian’s body, Dibian will not only lose the memory of being possessed during this period, but also people will be fine, just like Parish. The same, and the Son must be going to kill the "fallen mage" Debian.

Although only spent three days with Dubian, Anna liked him very much. He was said to be a fallen mage, but he was not gloomy at all. If it weren't for the dark lines on his face, he would be just like the big brother next door, gentle and careful.

Seeing Anna relieved, Dubian only mentioned what he said about meditation yesterday: "I tried it yesterday. The effect of lying down and meditating seems to be similar to sitting, but it is easy to fall asleep."

Anna saw that Dibian really tried the question she asked casually. She couldn't help feeling funny, and she smiled and said with a serious face: "It turns out that it is. I slept with my younger siblings. They suspect that if lying down is fine, then I can meditate at home."

She didn't ask casually, she had actual needs.

Dibian nodded understandingly: "I see. If you don't have the conditions to sit and meditate, you can try lying down. So shall we start today?"

Still the old rules, Dibian first helped Anna review what she had learned the previous two days, and saw that she had mastered it before continuing to teach.

In the process of teaching, he felt that Anna's talent was amazing. Some complicated words were completely memorized by him only after he said them. And some words with very similar pronunciations and meanings could be distinguished by her. Clearly Chu.

Anna was a little embarrassed to see Dibian’s marvelous eyes, but she couldn’t tell him that some of the words he taught her happened to be in the book of poems that the devil forced her to remember. She had already memorized it several times. Familiar.

Because Dibian taught a few more written terms this time, he wanted to make less of the total amount and give Anna enough time to digest, but she learned faster than he thought, and in the end he taught her more. Hundred words.

Dibian said with emotion: "Anna, I thought it would be reluctant to let you read and write during your recovery period. I didn't expect your progress to be much faster than I thought. I believe that when it comes to reading and writing, you Soon it will be better than the average little nobleman."

"Really? Thank you, you taught me well!" Anna was in a very good mood when she heard Dibian complimenting herself so much.

As a teacher, she won't get any praise from the devil. He will only force knowledge into her brain, regardless of whether she has learned it or not, and then ask her if she remembers it, and does not even verify the authenticity of her answer. .

"No, you have a good talent. I'm afraid that I didn't teach well, which will affect your study." Dibian smiled and shook his head, his brown eyes filled with a gentle smile, "I also want to thank you for believing in me, help me."

Anna smiled: "We are helping each other, so don't thank you any more."

Dibian looked at Anna's beautiful smile in the moonlight, nodded and smiled: "Okay."

Although Anna has not successfully meditated to feel the natural elements, her curiosity made her want to hear more knowledge, so Dibian followed her and told her the intrinsic properties of each element.

According to the Holy See, the light element represents light, hope, and justice, while the dark element represents darkness, despair, and evil. The light will defeat darkness and justice will drive away evil. This is the original oracle of the Goddess of Light.

But Dubian said that each natural element does have different intrinsic properties, but all elements are equal, and there is no saying that one element is better than another.

"The spell cast by the light element does have a healing effect, but this is because the intrinsic attributes of the light element are speed increase and burning pain. Because of the speed increase attribute of the light element, spells like holy healing can speed up the wound. Healing.” Dubian said, “and the intrinsic attributes of the dark element are destruction and dark blessing. The dark element is not only the power that can produce destruction, but also the power of protection."

He regrets that his mental power is still disordered and cannot cast spells, otherwise he would like to show it to Anna himself.

He knows that Anna is not the kind of person who hates dark wizards indiscriminately, but he still wants her to see with her own eyes that the dark wizards are not "corrupted wizards" as the Holy See said.

As she said, a spell is just a tool, whether it is good or bad depends only on the purpose of the user.

"What do you mean by intrinsic attributes?" Anna listened with gusto, and then asked the doubts.

Dubian patiently said: "Intrinsic attributes are the inherent attributes of a certain natural element that distinguishes it from other elements. The eight natural elements have their own unique intrinsic attributes, and the magic effects we use are based on these intrinsic attributes. On top of characteristic attributes. You can induce specific intrinsic attributes by using specific spell circuits.

"In addition to the light and darkness just mentioned, the intrinsic properties of water are supple and deadly, thunder is destruction and entanglement, fire is warm and bursting, wind is gentle and violent, earth is heavy and generous, and gold is sharp and soft. Dang After you become a mage, designing and adjusting the magic circuit is inseparable from the skilled application of intrinsic attributes."

Speaking of this, Dibian remembered the days and nights when he designed the magic circuit for the first time, when he forgot to eat and sleep, but was always inexplicably unable to function normally. He added: "You are more talented than me, it shouldn't be like I was just as painful."

Although she is still a weak chicken who can't feel any natural elements, Anna listened very carefully. Knowledge is power. She has consolidated the foundation. When she can feel the natural elements and start practicing, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

So when she heard Dibian’s emotion suddenly, she was stunned and asked, “It’s painful to be a mage?”

"Not really." Dibian thought about it for a while before saying, "I still remember the excitement of successfully casting a spell for the first time. And the magic circuit that I designed my own to operate successfully. At the moment, I even want to thank the goddess, even if she doesn't exist. It's just that every time the magic circuit is unresponsive or even backlashes after adjustment, I want to give up."

Anna listened for a while, and felt some familiar smells.

How does designing a magic circuit look like programming? She had taken a programming language in college. Let’s not talk about it. When the program runs a bug, don’t know where it is wrong. If it is repaired here and there, don’t know where it is done right after the program can run.

Although she got pretty good grades in the first course, she still remembers that feeling.

Hope, she won’t go from getting started to giving up...

Now that the topic of designing magic circuits was mentioned, Dibian said more about what he had learned from his teacher before.

The wizard will learn some standard magic circuits in the process of learning advanced. Those are universal, but they will not fit every wizard perfectly. The standard spell circuit leaves room for fine-tuning, so after getting the standard spell circuit, the wizards will make fine-tuning on that basis.

Of course, there are always some talents who are not that strong or a little lazy, and will directly use the standard spell circuit, but the effect is not much different.

As for creating your own magic circuit, that is another matter. Generally, you will try to start with a three-star wizard.

Anna tried meditation for a while in front of Dibian, but after still nothing, she could only return home disappointed.

On the other side, the welcome banquet in Earls Court has just begun.

When Rothgar arrived at the banquet, he learned that Anna's new goal was the holy son from the temple.

His talent skill "Possession" has some restrictions on the use of it, too strong mental power or strength will affect the success rate of possession. He tried with Balan, even if Balan opened up and let him "possess", it would not succeed.

The pure light affinity body increases the failure rate even greater. The burning pain attribute of the light element will make him very uncomfortable in the "possession" state, but it will not hurt him. His current strength is indeed only half that of when he was in the Demon Realm, but he hasn't paid attention to the four-star mage.

When he was in the human world, only the five-star mage could make him jealous.

The saint son named Victor Kosos Sylavi, pure light affinity, four-star priest, very strong in spirit, made Rotgar feel a little bit tricky.

It is not difficult to kill this son, but possession is another matter.

When Rothgar was possessed by Ulysses before, he could easily succeed because Ulysses' mental power was damaged. But this saint son is full of energy, and it is difficult for him to succeed.

Rothgar sat on the side of the long table with a cold face, occasionally glanced at the Son who was speaking elegantly and remotely to Earl Wilson.

If Anna really hits the idea of ​​this saint son, and it is difficult for him to possess, then kill the saint son.

Anna went to work in Earls Court as usual the next day.

She is very energetic today. After Dibian confirmed that she could meditate while lying down, she went back and continued to meditate while lying in bed.

——Then she was convinced that Dibian was right, that this position was too easy to fall asleep.

Because she emptied all distracting thoughts and lay very comfortably, she slept very fast, and she was very energetic the next day.

Meditation is really a gospel for patients with insomnia.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Anna heard the maids talking about the demeanor of the Son in a low voice, all of them were flushed with light in their eyes.

I don’t know who said: “It’s a pity that the Son must serve the goddess all his life.”

The regret in the tone of the speaker was so obvious that Anna couldn't help but glance over.

"So beautiful and holy man..." The speaking maid continued with emotion, "I really want to..."

Halfway through, she hurriedly stopped. The other maids seemed to understand what she meant, and their expressions were subtle to each other.

Anna understands them, like such a holy man, who doesn't want his face to be stained with love?

Just think about it and feel stimulating.

However, he is a holy son who serves a goddess. If anyone really expresses his inner thoughts, he is blaspheming the gods, and even if he is not dead, it is a social death.

Anna recalled the Shengzi she saw yesterday. If she sat on the soft sofa at home with a mobile phone while watching and eating cut fruits, she would think too.

But now, she only loves gold coins and just wants to be a mage.

At 8:30 in the morning, Anna went to the small building where the devil lived on time.

On the road, saw the small building where the maid stopped frequently and stood on tiptoe to look at. Anna guessed that was the place where the holy son lived, not far from where the devil lived.

She thought it was a good place to live close, and it would be better if the two of them could fight together.

If you can fight, it means that the son can find the devil.

When Anna saw the devil, his first sentence was: "Do you like the Son?"

Is it so straightforward?

Anna denied: "You misunderstood."

Rothgar sneered, and he knew she couldn't tell the truth.

"The Son must remain pure for life, he will not be tempted by you."

If Anna is very keen to win, she will definitely accept the devil's provocation at this time, and she will have to pull the holy son down the abyss and sink.

But she didn't.

She just wanted to see the son blast the devil.

"I know, I don't have such terrible blasphemous thoughts." Anna flatly blocked it.

Rothgar felt that she usually didn't see much awe of the gods, so he certainly didn't believe it.

Don't you dare to blaspheme?Ah.

He decided not to kill the Son, he would beat the Son half to death, and then possess him.He wanted to see that when Shengzi took the initiative to seduce her, she couldn't say that she "dare not blaspheme".
