Chapter 44
Roth Garr originally intended to walk more simply, but after seeing Anna coming from the corner of his eye, he still slowed down unconsciously.
She wears a red riding attire, and outlines her exquisite body lines, and the scene of her hurriedly running towards him is inexplicably pleasing to the eye.
Anna ran to the devil quickly, and saw that his body was still facing forward, but she turned her head slightly to look at her. She couldn't help but vomit: Obviously I went to the meditation room No. 1 to look for her specially just now, and now she is still coming to "Heroes". "Save the beauty", now she is showing an upright appearance of "I don't want to take care of you" to anyone, it's strange that she believes it.
"Thank you very much for your righteous help just now, otherwise I don't know how to be bullied by them. I'm new here, I really don't know how to deal with them." Anna casually slapped the two girls with a sincere expression. "Thank you very much, can I know your name? If anyone can help you in the future, I will definitely not shirk it."
The two girls who were detained: What did we do? Didn't you still do nothing?
Rothgar felt very comfortable seeing Anna's gratitude, but he felt that Anna was not a person who would suffer. There were too many exaggerations in his words.
It can be seen that she deliberately said this to approach him and show him good...Wait, Anna had only spells in her heart, so how could she show good to a man?
According to his original idea, it would take a long time to slowly get rid of Anna's wariness, and slowly walk into her life, so that when she has a good impression of him, he can smoothly propose marriage and complete the bet.
But now, as soon as he acted, Anna ran over, no matter how she thought it was wrong.
Rothgar, who was still full of confidence in himself just now, had some doubts about his initial judgment after considering Anna's past actions.
He suddenly remembered that Anna doesn't have enough gold coins, and learning spells requires a lot of gold coins. Could it be that she wants to get financial help from this Raymond?
but……
After a brief period of thought, Rotgar chose the original route.
According to his past experience, Anna has always rejected the men who took the initiative to deliver to the door. Don’t look at her now voluntarily running over to thank him, she seems to be close to him deliberately, but he thinks that if he really responds, it might be like him. The body is useless.
There is no better body in this association, and he doesn't want to change it yet.
Therefore, facing Anna's ardent gaze, Rothgar said indifferently: "No."
Then he stepped away without hesitation.
If it weren't for the eyes to see the demon in Raymond's body, and the old demon, Anna almost thought she had made a mistake.
Wasn't this demon always chasing her to propose marriages? Why did you suddenly change sex?
Anna was still hesitating, whether her "favorites" towards the devil had been passed on perfectly, but she heard the ridicule of the two girls.
The tall girl said: "Raymond is just passing by. Some people don't really think he made a deliberate shot, do they?"
"That's right! To be beautiful, to have no status, to be talented, and to have no talent. I don't know how some people have such a thick-skinned face and want to rely on others. There is really no self-knowledge!" Another slightly shorter girl echoed, full There was a sardonic smile on his face.
Anna didn't feel anything at all, she didn't take this kind of cynicism that even dared to name her at all, okay?
She is going to become a five-star mage, this kind of little girl, she will be able to leave them far behind after several upgrade assessments.
But Natalie didn’t think so. She always felt that the two of them were making trouble with Anna because of her. Now that they saw Raymond had left, they were still laughing at Anna. She couldn’t help raising her voice: “Lei As soon as Mond left, did you forget what he said?"
Because of Raymond's extremely cold attitude towards Anna, Natalie did not think that Raymond had saved Anna on purpose, but this did not prevent her from using Raymond to suppress others.
The two girls looked at each other, and Raymond's cold voice echoed in their minds.
Although he is really indifferent to this commoner, it is also true that he prevented them from finding faults before... The Raymond family's title is higher than theirs, and his own mage level is higher than theirs, and he has never understood what to pity and cherish jade, they If you really annoy him, who knows what he will do?
"You give..."
The tall girl wanted to let go of harsh words. Who knew she had just turned her head, Anna smiled: "The curse comes from the mouth, you really don't intend to curb it?"
The tall girl was stunned, and gave Anna angrily. She still had some scruples and pulled her companion away.
Natalie walked to Anna and said with a guilty expression: "Anna, it's all my reasons, they will come to you for trouble."
"It has nothing to do with you. They should be jealous of my talent, so they want to suppress me in advance and strangle me in the cradle." Anna casually said nonsense, "Don't worry, true geniuses will not be suppressed."
Natalie stared at Anna in surprise. Although she trusted Anna inexplicably, she said she was a real genius...
She asked in surprise: "Really? How do you know that you are a genius?"
"I just know." Anna finished speaking and pulled Natalie's hand. "Let's go, let's go to the library. Teacher Lyon gave me a list of books. I can't wait."
"Book list?" Natalie took two steps to follow Anna.
Anna's expression was mysterious, and she lowered her voice and said, "After reading the book list that is guaranteed to be admitted to the one-star mage."
"Wow..." Natalie exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth, and whispered with excitement, "It turns out that this legendary book list really exists! How did you get it from Master Leon?"
Anna wondered: "Is it difficult to get this book list? I asked Master Leon to make a list of books for me, and he would write it out for me."
"It's that simple?"
"Otherwise? I don't have any gold coins to buy from him."
"It's so simple..."
On the way to the library, Natalie was lost in confusion.
Master Lyon’s one-star master must pass the book list. This is a legend that has been circulating. He has been a teacher of many introductory courses for the apprenticeship of the mage. But when they said, it was concealed, as if there were not many people who really had the book list in their hands, and she still doesn't know the specific name of the book list.
When it was at the library, Anna took out the book list and began to follow the picture, Natalie suddenly came back to her senses, she seemed to understand something.
She used to try every means to inquire, but she couldn't get anything. Anna just asked directly and got the list of books.
Sometimes, some things are so simple!
Seeing Anna standing on tiptoe to reach for the book on the top of the shelf, Natalie hurried over to support Anna's waist. She was shorter than Anna, and of course she couldn't help with the book.
Judging from the book titles listed on the book list, these books can be viewed in the order listed on the book list. Although it is not possible to borrow these books, there is no limit to the number of books you can take from the shelf, as long as you put a bookmark when you take out the books.
Afraid of confusion, Anna took the first five books on the book list for the first time, and then quickly looked through the corners. In order to formulate a special training plan for Natalie and herself, she must know what she will learn next.
Anna reads the preface and catalogue of each book, and records it on the paper provided by the library while reading it. After that, she will turn over the entire book at a very fast speed, leaving a general impression.
After this set, it took ten minutes to read a book and stunned Natalie, who was sitting next to her and peeking at Anna.
When Anna picked up the second book, she said in a very low voice: "Anna, have you remembered all of them?" If Anna can remember it after flipping through a book like this, no wonder she can call herself a genius!
Anna naturally said: "Of course I didn't remember, how can I have such a good memory?"
"Then you are..."
Anna simply said her plan: "Let me first look at how much we are going to learn next, what are they, so that we can make a plan and allocate the ratio of theoretical and practical training time."
Every time Natalie is approaching the promotion assessment, she would temporarily hug her feet and find out the books that are about to be turned over. There is no systematic plan. It's also vague, but because she takes a lot of exams, she almost always passes.
So when she heard Anna's plan, she nodded her head as if she knew it: "It sounds so amazing..."
Anna smiled. This is the ability she has cultivated through years of compulsory education and higher education, and this mage association seems to provide a school-like environment, but in fact it is still a mentorship system, and she has not exercised her ability. It's normal.
Anna continued her "flicking the books". An hour later, all five books were read. She put them back, replaced five more books, and continued the process.
Three hours later, Anna stretched. She went through all the 14 books on the book list, and had a preliminary plan for how to train in the next two months.
Looking at Natalie again, she was already drowsy because she was boring to wait. Her little head was little by little, and a few strands of falling blond hair were dangling around her nose. She seemed to feel a little itchy and couldn't help but scratch I scratched my nose, but in a daze, I forgot that my arm was supporting his head. I slanted instantly and knocked my chin on the table.
Before her chin made intimate contact with the table, Anna reached out to block the middle.
Natalie was scared sober, and she looked up at Anna blankly. Since her chin was still in Anna's palm, Anna couldn't help but think of the funny videos, and couldn't help laughing. Then she gently lifted Natalie up.
"Have you enough sleep?" Anna whispered, and handed a book to Natalie. "Read the first chapter before dinner. I will check it afterwards."
Upon hearing the "spot check", Natalie was agitated and quickly accepted the book, only to see that the title of the book was "Intrinsic Attributes of Natural Elements". She thought to herself that she had remembered all the intrinsic attributes of the natural elements, but after seeing Anna picked up the book called "The Basics of Potions" and read it, she had no choice but to hold back her doubts and take it with her. Looks nervously intently.
She has been frightened by the examination, and when she thinks that Anna will be spot-checked later, she feels her whole body tense.
Anna also wanted to start with the first book in the book list, but thought that tomorrow Lyon would bring herself to the introductory potion course, she planned to do a preview first.
In the "flipping the book" just now, Anna has roughly understood that the preparation of potions is similar to chemical experiments, except that there are natural elements at the bottom of the world, so the raw materials and process of potion preparation are a bit more metaphysical.
For example, if the sap of plant A and the seed of plant B are shrouded in concentrated light elements, a potion will be produced. If they are shrouded in concentrated natural elements, they may explode.
This "Basics of Potions" mainly talks about the basic principles of potion preparation, the common methods of pretreatment of potion raw materials, several commonly used potion formulas and preparation methods, etc. In short, they are all very basic things, and the final preparation method is very maneuverable. Even if Leon is not in class, she can successfully formulate the potion according to the process in the book.
Anna spent a little time memorizing the basic principles of potion preparation. This is the foundation, and the rest of the content is practical, but it's all trivial. Knowing the basic principles, she can adjust the potion formula and preparation process according to these principles to make it unique.
In the process of coming to Black Cloud City before, Anna discovered that the spells cast by the mage actually had distinct personal characteristics. There are indeed only a few basic spell loops, but the same spells can be implemented with different spell loops. Some of the standard spell loops that Dibian drew for her are actually just templates. After a slightly talented wizard learns, they will do it. Fine-tuning.
Just like programmers writing code for a function, some people write cumbersome code, some people write concise, clear, and aesthetic. From the point of view of functional performance, there may be no difference between the two, but they take up memory at runtime. .
In the same way, the wizard casts the same spell, and it seems that everyone is throwing a small fireball, but the one that has fine-tuned the spell loop may consume very different mental power. In a battle, if others don’t have blue, you still have blue. Don’t you win?
Anna read "The Basics of Potions" and found that potions are the same as the magic circuit. Remember the principle, you can adjust the formula and the preparation process by yourself in the preparation, and finally get a better potion.
Of course, that was after she had learned a certain level, and she would not consider making mistakes before then.
Primary school chickens must obey the experimental specifications!
After finishing the preview for tomorrow's class, Anna put down the book and looked at Natalie, and found that she had seen the last part of the first chapter, perhaps because of Anna's leading role, Natalie was taking notes while watching.
Anna took a piece of paper again, and wrote some short answer questions according to her memory and the notes she had made before. When Natalie turned the last page of Chapter 1, she pushed the "test paper" over.
Needless to say Anna, Natalie knew what it was as soon as she saw the content, she sighed in her heart and started writing honestly.
Anna has yet to show her strength, but Anna's reading posture has already conquered Natalie.
When Natalie finished the test, Anna nodded after reading it. Natalie's mastery of the first chapter is pretty good, which is not surprising, just like some people recite the vocabulary, the first word "abandon" in the vocabulary book is always It's overcooked.
The two put the book back in place, cleared the desk, and sorted out personal traces before leaving the elementary library.
At this moment, the setting sun is slanting to the west, and the world is shrouded in dim light.
Anna looked into the distance, her eyes a little lost. A month ago, she was a maid who went out early and returned late at the Earls' Mansion in Blue Rock City. She did not expect that now she has led a student-like study life.
She missed her family in Blue Rock City a little bit, and hoped that they could live well.
The sentimentality was only for a while, Anna retracted her gaze and said to Natalie: "I'm going to have a meal and then go home, you should go back first." The free canteen of the Mage Association is free from scratching.
"Then I want too!" Natalie hugged Anna's arm and said coquettishly.
Natalie has always been a lively person. She was suffocated by staying in the library all afternoon, so she immediately regained her nature after she came out.
Of course Anna had no reason to object. The two had dinner together in the cafeteria, so Anna heard all kinds of gossip about the association and felt quite satisfied.
Natalie's family was noble at all, and there was a carriage to take her home. She reluctantly said goodbye to Anna, and Anna did not go home immediately, but went to the task board that Natalie said.
The taskbar is covered with various papers, all of which are handwritten various task requirements. Some papers seem to have been washed by the years. After some years, she glanced at it. It turned out that it was a long-term purchase of some potion raw materials. The task of the task, the task publisher is a two-star mage.
She remembered seeing this kind of raw material plants in "The Basics of Potions", which is very common, but the pretreatment is very troublesome. The nobles who are not short of money must not bother to do such mechanical labor.
Anna carefully scanned all these tasks and felt that this way of making money was very interesting.
This taskbar is actually a bit embarrassing. Those who can become wizards are either aristocrats or wealthy civilians in the family. These tasks are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Except for the tasks given by some three- and four-star wizards, some people take them in order to make friends with each other. The tasks of the remaining one-star and two-star wizards are practical. Few people care about it.
Everyone has to cultivate, and who has the time to be cheap labor (for the master) for others?
But these tasks are very suitable for Anna.
Just like the pre-processing task of the two-star mage just now, a mage apprentice who has learned potions can do the job. It takes 20 raw materials per gold coin, and a raw material pre-processing takes one or two hours. If she doesn’t learn it, just give it to others. If you do the task, you can make the raw material for a gold coin in two days. Believe it or not, she can make that two-star mage go bankrupt!
Anna couldn't help but sigh again, the mage is really a career that spends money quickly, and money comes quickly.
Considering that she could not accept any task yet, Anna reluctantly looked away and looked at the notice board at will.
At a glance, she saw the two characters "Warning" on a newly posted piece of paper, and read it with interest.
She was happy when she saw it halfway.
It turned out that this was a severely worded warning notice to Raymond Bailedford, criticizing him for casting spells in the Association’s inaccessible area without complying with the Association’s special regulations. hope he will take it as a warning. Do not commit any more in the future.
In the association, there are many places where magic can be used, including meditation rooms, pharmacy rooms, martial arts venues, etc. However, in some living areas, there are many civilian workers. In order to prevent accidental injury, the living area is forbidden to use spells.
Unexpectedly, the devil would also be criticized by the notification one day, which is too funny.
Anna couldn't help laughing. Even though the devil was doing her best at the time, he had bad intentions, and she didn't suffer at the time, so she didn't accept his love.
Suddenly there were more people beside her, Anna looked sideways, but she didn't expect that the other person was Leon.
Leon swept around the taskbar, found the top piece of paper, tore it down and put it away. One-time tasks In order to avoid two people doing tasks at the same time, the task paper will be torn off and taken away when deciding to do the task.
Leon turned around and looked at Anna after finishing the task. Anna quickly said, "Hello, Mrs. Leon!"
Leon shook his head slightly: "Don't call me a teacher outside of the course."
Anna remembered that in this world, teachers really can't scream, especially the mage, the teacher is even responsible for the evildoing of the students.
"Sorry, I still don't understand these rules. Thank you very much for your reminder, Master Leon." Anna corrected her mistake in time.
Leon nodded, his eyes flashed from the warning notice.
Anna noticed Leon's behavior, and suddenly remembered that Natalie had gossiped with her before, that Leon and Raymond had a bit of a lifelong enemy, so he would slam the door unceremoniously in the face of "Raymond" in the morning.
Now that "Raymond" has been criticized in the notice, although Leon looks expressionless at this moment, he is actually quite happy, isn't it?
No matter what others think, she is happy anyway.
Anna wanted to say something to the warning notice, but she caught a glimpse of the demon not far away from the corner of her eye.
The existence of the devil is much stronger than Raymond. She saw the demon before she even saw Raymond, but she pretended not to.
What would the devil think when she saw her and Leon meet "privately" outside the course? I am afraid that she is very interested in Lyon, right?
She can't let him have such a misunderstanding!
In order for herself to do the task as soon as possible to make money, she must attend tomorrow's potions class, and in order to take the potions class well, she must protect the body of Teacher Lyon!
Anna turned around and looked at the warning notice, and suddenly sighed, "Mage Raymond uses spells to help me. It's all my fault. He is such a good person."
Leon's voice was colder than before: "Even if he happened to help you at the time, it was just a coincidence."
Anna looked at Lyon in surprise. The Lyon teacher in her eyes was serious and responsible. She had a very good personality. She didn't expect that there would be a day with such a sharp tone.
Of course she would not think that Leon was jealous or something out of his favor with her. He had a grudge against Raymond, so the words against Raymond were not pleasant. Because of her student filter, she felt that Mr. Lyon would not make trouble unreasonably, it must be Raymond's fault.
Seeing Anna’s astonished gaze, Leon seemed to realize his gaffe. He said: "I have already applied for the No. 5 Pharmacy Room. See you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
After speaking, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Anna only glanced at his back, then turned her head to look at the warning notice, and said nothing for a long time.
——The devil is still staring, she must continue to act!
Rothgar pretended not to care about Anna on the surface, but he was actually very concerned about her whereabouts, so he knew that she had stayed in the library all afternoon without changing places.
She really cares most about spells.
Just now seeing Anna and Leon together in front of the bulletin board, Rothgar had calmed down a lot.
What she cares about most is spells, he can't compare to spells, how could Leon be able to compare them?
He knew that Anna had seen him. After Leon left, he simply walked over and stood still before the warning notice. He didn't even glance at Anna. He just said with a mockery: "Don't get me wrong, I just itch my hands. You have nothing to do."
He left after speaking, leaving Anna messy in the wind.
No, the devil used to be an overbearing presidential proposal. Is it now a campus idol drama? The duplicity of the arrogant school bully setting?
