According to Anna's current understanding of the devil, if he finds that there is a man hidden in her room—even though that is only a teenager, in her opinion, he is not even a man—he will definitely be mad.

After all, she said before that she should start with him as friends and get to know each other. This is telling him that he has a chance, and the positive feedback she gave him during this period would make him think that he has a great chance.

And when he was full of hope, he suddenly discovered that she was hiding a "man" at home without telling him... Would he think that everything she said before was lying to him?

Whether to kill her, Eppe, or both, depends on whether her soul is important enough...

Of course Anna would not sit and wait for death. She glanced at the demon secretly. He was looking towards the attic, obviously noticing the movement made by Eppe-expecting him to fail to see Epp's fluke.

However, his expression at the moment was not angry, but slightly wary and doubtful.

Speaking of which, the devil shouldn't have followed her home before, otherwise he might have discovered the existence of Eppe long ago. Then, the way he could know her address should be the application form she submitted when she first came to the association for the test, and he was attached to the staff, and he must have seen the address filled in by her.

She remembered very clearly that she only filled in the address of Givina's house, and did not say that she lived in the attic.

So, just pretend that she is not living in the attic?

Anna felt that her mind had never moved so quickly. She walked straight to the door without squinting and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a gap. Givina inside saw that it was Anna and hurriedly closed the door. Opening wide, with a smile on his face, he was about to speak, but was rushed by Anna.

"Givena, do you have anything to eat? I went to a banquet tonight, but I encountered a bit of a bad thing and didn't have much to eat. I'm so hungry now."

Givina originally wanted to ask Anna what happened so late. Hearing what she said, Givina immediately laughed: "I made some pancakes today. If Master Anna doesn't dislike it, you can eat it hot."

"Great, how could I dislike it!" Anna smiled, "I'll close the door."

Giverner didn't think much, went to the kitchen and turned out the pancakes he just made today, and Anna turned around and waved to the demon who was still standing next to the carriage, and closed the door without any guilty conscience.

Anna let out a breath.

It was dark, and Eppe had just covered it more tightly, she just saw a dark shadow.

An ordinary tenant living in the attic, hearing something outside, came out and took a look, and found that it was not a strange person, so he immediately went back to sleep-this inference is reasonable, right?

Anna was a little worried about the demon's forceful use of detection techniques, so she didn't dare to stay at the door, but followed Giverner into the kitchen normally.

"Sorry, I have to trouble you to start the fire again." Anna said embarrassedly, and took the initiative to walk over to start the fire. The flames on her fingertips lit up, and there was a fire in the hearth.

Jiwina hurriedly smiled and said, "It's no trouble, isn't there still Mage Anna for you to help?"

Anna and Giverny sat in the kitchen for a while. After listening to Giverner talk about what happened in the city for a while, the body was here, and her mind flew outside.

It's been so long, the devil should have gone, right?

The pancakes quickly heated up. Anna took two hot pancakes. When she walked out of the kitchen, Givina's grandson, Gore, came out sleepily and saw Anna greet her obediently: "Hello, Master Anna!"

Anna rubbed Gore's head with her empty hand: "I'm sorry, I wake you up."

Gore shook his head, his speech slurred because of sleepiness: "Mage Anna didn't wake me up, I woke up by myself."

Anna smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and took out another silver coin to Givina and said, "This is the rent for next month."

Although Anna was separated from them in the past month, she often went out early and returned late, and had very little contact, but only a few contacts gave Giverner a general understanding of Anna’s character, so she did not follow them. She pushed around, accepted the rent happily, and warmly invited her to eat often when sending Anna out.

When Anna opened the door, she quickly glanced out of her eyes. She had several plans in her heart. Seeing that the outside was empty, she breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Giverny with pancakes.

Anna just wanted to go back to the attic as soon as possible, and even used the wind gathering technique to help herself pass the stairs as soon as possible. Her heartbeat gradually slowed down until the door was opened and the night was closed.

With a devil's character, if he finds that someone is hiding in her room, it is impossible to hold back until now. I am afraid that he will do it early. Since it is all right now, it means that she has passed the test.

Anna glanced around, but did not see him on the meditation mat where Eppe often lay. Various possibilities flashed in her mind. She whispered, "Is anyone?"

In case the devil is actually hiding in her home, she is also pretending that she doesn't know Eppe by using this statement...

There was a rustle in the bathroom, the small door opened, and Epp walked out.

Anna looked at him carefully and saw that there were no demons on him, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Anna condemned him, Epp complained first: "Why are you back so late? I thought you had an accident!"

Anna's original condemnation got stuck, is he worried about her...

"If something happens to you, who will give me food?" Epp sniffed his nose and his eyes lit up. "What's so fragrant? Is it the food you brought me?"

Anna: "..." She was really touched! He treats her as a shit shovel officer because of feelings!

Anna didn't care about him either, and gave him Giverner's hot pancakes: "Eat, you are starving."

Epp took the pancake and gnawed it, not caring what Anna said about him.

While he was eating, Anna squatted to look at the dark lines on his face. After so many days, there was no sign of subsiding at all.

"How much do you usually meditate to recover as soon as possible!" Anna couldn't help sighing, "I don't mean that you will be driven away when you recover. At least if the dark lines on your face are gone, Givina can know your existence. , Otherwise you are very dangerous now."

Eppe just finished eating one pancake. He picked up the second one and didn't immediately put it in his mouth. He looked at Anna and said weirdly: "You said the danger, did you mean the person just now?"

"you saw it?"

"Just saw it," Aipu smiled narrowly, "Is he pursuing you?"

Anna shrugged: "Forget it!"

"Then I advise you to either quickly agree or refuse as soon as possible. This person is very dangerous." Aipu said, and ate the pancakes on his own.

Anna's heart moved, and he didn't expect Eppe to feel so sharp.

That's a devil, can it be dangerous?

"Why do you think he is dangerous?" Anna asked curiously.

Aipu took a big mouthful of pancakes, chewed and vaguely said: "It just feels!"

"Then you can't feel it at all. He was mentally overdrawn before, but he is still recovering, and the spells don't move too much." Anna said deliberately.

Aipu chewed the pancakes, his cheeks bulged like a hamster, Anna's face was reflected in his pure black pupils, and his expression seemed to be a little mocking: "Just forget it if you don't believe it."

He paused, and then said: "No, before I get better, you can't help but believe it. I think you should reject him sooner!"

Anna thought to herself, if it had been so easy, she wouldn't have delayed until now.

She patted Epp on the shoulder: "You have to thank me very much. If it weren't for my wit to make him think that I can't live here, you are dead now."

Aipu said indifferently: "Don't you just say that I am your brother?"

"I don't have a brother as old as you, he knows very well." Anna threatened. "Moreover, he is hostile to the male creatures that appear next to me. If you are discovered by him, you will be gone."

Aipu didn't show any fear when he heard the words. He just looked at Anna as if thinking about it for a while before saying, "Do you like him?"

Anna was taken aback, not knowing how he came to this conclusion, and looked at him with question marks on his face.

After eating the last bite of pancakes, Ep licked his fingers, and after a full hiccup, he said slowly: "He is so perverted, I don't think you are scared at all when you talk about him."

Are you not afraid?

I'm probably used to it.

Anna suddenly flicked Aipu's forehead, fiercely saying, "The kid knows what to like or not, so hurry up to wash up after eating, I'm going to tie you!"

Epp covered his forehead and stared at Anna fiercely, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stood up and went to the bathroom. After a while, the oil on his hands was gone, and he obediently asked Anna to tie him up.

While lying on the meditation mat, Ep asked Anna: "When can you not tie me? It's very tiring to sleep like this at night!"

Anna said, "As long as you live here for one day, there will be no such time."

Aipu mumbled: "Coward!"

Anna didn't bother to care about him, and went to bed after a little meditation.

Early in the morning of the next day, Anna was a little excited when she thought of watching Master Dawkins's new potion experiment. After preparing food for the day as usual, she went to the Masters Association happily.

The devil and Natalie are already in the library today. Anna went there and told them that she was going to see Master Dawkins’s new potion experiment. Intend to pass.

As a result, when Anna got up, the demon who hadn't said anything a while ago also got up. When she looked over, he said, "I'll go and see too."

Of course Anna couldn't stop him, so she waved to Natalie, who seemed to want to go but was embarrassed to say, and went to find Master Dawkins with the devil.

Anna couldn't stop the devil herself, so she gave the decision to Master Dawkins and let him decide whether to show it to the devil.

As for Natalie, it is still important to be admitted to a one-star mage, and try not to get involved in her and the devil's affairs.

While walking on the way to the pharmacy, Rotgar suddenly asked, "Who is that person living in the attic?"

Anna was prepared for this question. Hearing this, she was deliberately stunned and then said: "Oh, it seems to be Givina, it is my landlord's grandchildren, who is only in his early ten years, I haven't seen him."

She said it lightly, as if she was not interested in the person living in the attic. Instead, she followed her own words and said, "Jivina’s food is delicious. Next time I will give you some snacks she made. ."

Rothgar didn't actually see the person in the attic clearly, but instinctively he had a feeling of disgust for that person, so he asked one more question, and he didn't know Anna when he saw him, so he didn't bother to ask any more.

"There is a chef in my family who is very good at making snacks. If you want to eat, you can come to my house." Rotgar said.

Anna glanced at the devil, show off her wealth!

She didn't expect the devil who could propose marriage the first time she met to answer her words smoothly. She even thought he was a newbie among demons, so she couldn't fool a soul after so long.

Anna said, "I don't want to eat."

Rothgarh now occasionally has a keen perception of Anna's emotional changes. He glanced at her and found that she seemed a little unhappy.

He considered for a moment and asked: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat anything." Anna shook her head. She just didn't want to go to the devil's current home, feeling anxious about going deep into the enemy camp. Moreover, Raymond's body was taken over by the devil and couldn't be separated from her, she was not as embarrassed to face Raymond's family.

Rothgar glanced at Anna again, only to think that her mind was really hard to guess.

Fortunately, it hasn't made no progress in the past few days, so the small setback in front of him can't destroy his good mood.

The two went to the pharmacy room in silence all the way. Dawkins stood there and looked outside. Seeing Anna's figure from a long distance, he hurried back to his pharmacy room to see what else could be needed. After sorting it out, he returned to his experimental table and made the appearance that he was preparing seriously.

When Anna came to the door, Dawkins still couldn't hold back, pretending to say: "coming?"

"Mage Dawkins, good morning." Anna stood at the door and did not come in immediately. "Mage Raymond said he also wanted to watch your experiment. I don't know if you allow it."

Dawkins had seen "Raymond" who was following Anna earlier, and he was not surprised when he heard her, and said with restraint: "It's not impossible that he wants to be on the sidelines...but I have one condition."

"What conditions?" Anna asked.

Rothgar looked on coldly, as if Anna was his agent, who could represent him throughout the process.

Dawkins said: "It's not too difficult... If Master Raymond finds any problems while watching it, please feel free to ask."

His experiment has been going on for two years, but it has been unsuccessful, and he doesn’t know what the problem is. He is going crazy with this potion, so there can be someone with extremely talent like Raymond to help him. Check, he really made a lot of money.

Anna turned her head to look at the demon, who nodded casually: "Yes."

Dawkins was overjoyed, and could no longer show his pretentious appearance before, smilingly invited the two in, and then closed the door of the pharmacy room.

Seeing the two standing at a safe distance, Dawkins prepared as he said: "This is my newly developed potion. It is based on the potion'Sigh of Light' as a reference object, although the same is helpful for restoring the spirit. Power, but the principle is different. My goal is to instantly restore the overdrawn mental power of the two-star mage after drinking the potion, but the current recovery effect is not even as good as the'Sigh of Light'."

Mental recovery mainly depends on meditation, which is the safest way. But in some very dangerous situations, such as facing a deadly beast, you can also use potions to recover, after all, life-saving is the most important thing.

At present, the best potion related to mental power recovery is "Sigh of Light." It is said that if this potion is drunk in battle, it can restore about one-tenth of the spiritual power of an ordinary two-star mage. But after that, you must spend more energy to meditate and adjust your mental power, otherwise you may leave unexpected sequelae.

This kind of potion is tasteless to high-level mages, and it has a limited shelf life and cannot be stored and carried for a long time. The low-level mages who go to the life and death line for short-term hunting may bring such a bottle or two in advance. It may be a little useful.

Anna thought that when he was still in Blue Rock City, Ulysses, a four-star mage, had only relied on meditation to recover his mental power from damage. He didn't see him using potions, probably for this reason, and it didn't work for him. Moreover, there is no condition to prepare potions there.

She had never seen the devil use potions. He was so powerful before. Even if he was possessed by a two-star mage, he probably never thought about using potions.

Speaking of which, the biggest beneficiaries of potions are in fact ordinary people, but it is simply unimaginable for the mage to mass-produce various potions for treating headaches, brain fever, insomnia and dreams for ordinary people.

Even Anna, who was extremely short of money, felt that selling potions to ordinary people was very inefficient for making money after having the task of Mage Dawkins.

"I use wattle grass extract as the solvent, plus 18 kinds of materials that are rich in different elements, and then treat them with gold and water."

Dawkins said, starting his first experiment with a new potion today. While adding the materials, he introduced the names and uses of the materials to Anna and Rotgar.

Only then did Anna understand what Tereza meant when he said that Mage Kings "limited funds". In one experiment, ten parts of wattle extract, a total of fifty silver coins, are consumed, and this amount of money is almost negligible compared to other materials.

As she watched it, she calculated silently. Some materials she knew, probably the price, and some materials she hadn't heard of and could only estimate the price. In the end, she calculated that an experiment by Master Dawkins would consume materials worth five or six gold coins.

And every time he saves fifty parts of wattle grass extract, which means he will do five new potion experiments at once. In this way, he can consume almost thirty gold coins in a day.

Anna did not dare to underestimate the financial resources of Master Dawkins after calculating this amount. He used to do a new potion experiment once a week and used 30 gold coins at a time, and this has been going on for almost two years.

She couldn't help but sighed again, the mage is really quick to come and spend money faster.

Anna was feeling that Dawkins had finished the first experiment of the new potion. After many times of evaporating and shrinking the liquid, there was only one ordinary potion in the beaker at this moment.

Dawkins took the potion and observed it carefully, feeling it, and sighed for a long while: "Although it's better than before, it still can't reach my goal."

After speaking, Dawkins looked at Rothgar with expectant expression and asked: "Mage Raymond, I wonder if you have any comments after reading the operation just now?"

Roth Garr was a little impatiently distracted when he watched the first half just now, and then he found that Anna seemed to be calculating something silently, and the expression of surprise for a while and heartache made him almost laugh.

Hearing Dawkins’s question, he thought about the first half of the operation he saw, and said casually: "The order of the sage grass and the deer rabbit tail are exchanged, and the processing time of the gold element is reduced by half."

Dawkins listened to Rothgar's opinions very carefully, and he wondered the reasons as he listened. Although he hadn't figured it out yet, he had already started the second experiment, using Rothgarty's suggestions.

Seeing that Dawkins began to add materials and began to process with gold elements, Rotgar suddenly pulled Anna out of the pharmacy room.

Anna was looking attentively, but she was suddenly pulled out by him and didn't react. After waiting outside the pharmacy room, she returned to her mind and asked, "What's the matter?"

Rothgar said concisely: "It will explode."

Anna: "...???"

No, so the so-called opinion he just said to Mage Dawkins was to kill him? !

Anna hurriedly looked into the pharmacy room, and just wanted to give a voice reminder, but she stretched out two hands behind her, one arm wrapped her waist and forced her back to force her body to cling to Raymond’s tough body. The other hand covered her mouth.

Then, Rotgar's low voice with a little malicious voice sounded in her ears: "You affect him by speaking out, and it will explode faster."

Anna couldn't escape, she couldn't speak, and she regretted that he hadn't resolutely shut the devil out of the door. He was too bad and even deliberately acted like a black hand when giving advice!

But she also knew that the mage needed a very quiet environment when preparing potions. She suddenly reminded that it affected Dawkins's concentration, and it might be easier for the potion in his hand to explode.

Anna patted the back of the demon's hand over her mouth, motioned him to let it go with her eyes, she would not influence Dawkins.

Rothgar raised his eyebrows and let go of the hand covering Anna's mouth, but the hand on his waist did not let go.

As soon as Anna's mouth was free, she whispered and quickly said, "What are you doing? If something happens to Master Dawkins, neither of us can escape!" She didn't want to escape suddenly!

Rothgar snorted: "If he is not good at his skills, he deserves it."

Anna frowned: "What do you mean?"

Rothgar felt the ups and downs in his palm when Anna spoke, and patiently said slowly: "The advice I gave him is okay, but if he doesn't do it properly, it will cause an explosion."

Almost as soon as Rotgar's voice fell, Dawkins suddenly said excitedly: "Hey, it's done!"

As soon as the tail sound fell, the potion he held in his hand suddenly boiled, his face changed drastically, and he quickly threw the potion together with the bottle into the big bucket on the edge of the test bench and covered it. This is a Western Fantasy explosion-proof barrel with the blessing of the magic circuit, for use by wizards who have time to react. And if the explosion happens very fast, there are also magic circuits inside and outside the medicine room, and the explosion will only be limited in this small room.

There was a loud bang, the barrel was deformed, and a part of the shock wave messed up Dawkins’s hair and clothes, but he saw no fear at all. Instead, he laughed wildly: “It’s done! It’s just a little bit, just a little bit, I can make it. NS!"

He seemed to suddenly remembered the hero who had almost succeeded in the potion, and looked back at Anna and Rotgar. He just saw the two of them now, he pretended to cover his eyes and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "I have nothing. See it!"

Anna had just been strained by the explosion of the potion, and only then did she notice that the devil's hand was still on her waist, imprisoning her and letting her lean on him.

She suddenly remembered the dance last night.

Is it her illusion? always feel that the devil who didn't like to have physical contact with her has changed a little in the past two days...?
