Anna knew that the devil wanted her soul and was not interested in her body. She was convinced before that he did not like to touch her.

But now, it seems that since she said that he should get to know each other, he has become less repulsive of physical contact, and maybe even a little bit enthusiastic?

Did her words give him any wrong hint? To understand each other is to understand each other's personality and temperament, not including the body!

Anna quickly grabbed the devil's hand to let him let go. He didn't seem to have the intention of holding on to it forcibly, so he easily let Anna push him away.

Anna did not immediately discuss the proper physical contact with the devil. She walked up to Dawkins, who was acting quite ostentatiously, and said silently, "Mage Dawkins, what's the situation with your potion? Mage Raymond gave it to you. Is there a problem with the suggestion?"

Dawkins covered his eyes and separated his fingers together. Seeing that Anna was standing in front of him, he quickly put down his hands, wandering between Anna and "Raymond" with ambiguous eyes, coughing and saying, "No problem! No, let’s say it’s really great! Do you know that feeling, although the result is not good at all, but you know what you did is right! That’s right, I feel like this now! As long as I practice more Practicing, you will be able to do it successfully!"

Dawkins turned his head and walked back to the test bench. He laboriously opened the explosion-proof barrel, which was already in a mess. Most of the magic circuits were useless, and he had to go to the management office to apply for one again.

"It costs ten gold coins to break one, alas, gold coins are really not enough..." Dawkins sighed with emotion, then turned his head and said eagerly to Anna, "But don't worry, Anna, I will never default on your payment! "

Dawkins made a new potion for two years, and he knew very well that Anna's wattle grass extract could effectively improve his success rate, and he would continue to fine-tune the potion operation process according to Raymond’s suggestion, no He knew how many explosion-proof barrels to be blown up, and he didn't know how many wattle grass extracts were needed, so he had to keep Anna steady.

Thinking about this, he took out five gold coins and forced them to Anna: "This is an advance payment! Anna, you have to finish all the wattle grass extracts I ordered before you can do other tasks!"

Anna had received five gold coins from Dawkins before, and only made forty-five extracts for him, and owed him fifty-five. Now that another hundred "orders" came, she suddenly felt a little stressed.

"Mage Dawkins, the advance payment you gave last time has not been used up yet, I don't need it now." Anna now has no place to rush gold coins, so she refused.

"No, let you keep it." Dawkins naturally refused to take it back. He also said, "Look, I'm pretty anxious here. Can you give me fifty copies in three days?" "

Anna reads the book in the morning and makes the extract in the afternoon. It is actually a bit tiring to make fifty copies in three days. But seeing Dawkins so eagerly to verify and improve the operation of his new potion, she nodded and said, "Okay. I will try my best. I will leave it at the management office after the day is finished. If you need it, you can go directly to the management office to get it."

"Okay, well, then that's a deal!" Dawkins said happily. If Raymond hadn't been staring at the back, he might have embraced Anna happily. It's great to meet Anna, the extract is so good, and it brings a good helper to solve the problem that has plagued him for two years!

Next, the pharmacy room will be inspected and refurbished. Dawkins himself must abide by the safety rules and cannot continue to do it. Therefore, today's tour of Anna's potion experiment observation is over.

She left the pharmacy room with the devil, because it was too early, so she planned to go back to the library to read some books.

After leaving the pharmacy, Anna didn't speak any more, but Rotgar realized that she seemed to want to say something, but she wanted to say something for some reason.

Rothgar stretched out his hand and took Anna's wrist, looked at her after she stopped and said, "What do you want to tell me?"

Anna glanced at the demon's hand holding her wrist.

Sure enough, it was not her illusion, there is no need to touch her now...

She feels that she can't help the evil spirits of the devil, and she will definitely have to perfuse him for a long time. If she develops to hug and hug now, she won't be far off to sleep with her hands!

Her bottom line is to kiss, and she is reluctant to kiss, and then she is unwilling to be beaten to death.

Fearing that the devil would not understand or simply misunderstand what she meant, Anna raised her wrist, pointed at him and held her hand and said, "I think this is a bit too much, and it was just now. We are still friends now, I think we should Be careful and keep a certain distance. You just hugged me like that. I think it's very inappropriate and makes me very uncomfortable."

inappropriate? uneasy?

Hearing Anna's words, Rotgar's face instantly sank. He let go of Anna's wrist and sneered: "Who took my arm and threw into my arms last night?"

At this moment, someone passed by from a short distance. Hearing that Rothgar didn't deliberately control the volume, the ambiguous words in that sentence made them look curiously and saw that the protagonist of the gossip was the famous Raymond. Slowed down and wanted to hear more.

Anna blushed a bit when she heard the devil's words, well, in his opinion, she was indeed double-labeled.

She noticed the prying eyes of people around her, and didn't want people to watch the jokes, and quickly said: "Let's go over there and talk."

After speaking, she turned her head and headed in a certain direction first.

Rothgar stared at her back for two seconds, then followed with a displeased face.

Those passers-by would never follow, so they had no choice but to disperse regrettably.

When he reached the quiet place, Anna turned around and stood still and looked at the devil. Naturally, his face would not be any better at the moment.

Anna knew that she was a bit wrong. Although she didn't intend to do that, it was her behavior that gave him wrong hints, and she wanted to correct her mistakes now.

"I did that at the banquet last night to piss off the man named Magnolia. I was really too impulsive. I will pay attention to it in the future." Anna said sincerely, "I'm very sorry for giving you the wrong thing. Hint, it won't be anymore."

Rothgar listened to Anna with a cold face.

What is wrong suggestion? Means, her jealous appearance is all fake, he hasn't made any progress so far?

Rothgar felt like she was being fooled, maybe she was playing with him from beginning to end, and she certainly could do such a thing.

Anger was surging in his chest, but it was gradually suppressed by him.

Because he suddenly realized that he just let the impulse of this body lead him to action, because of the instinct of the fragile human body, he actually felt satisfaction from the entanglement of the body.

His face became darker, and he couldn't let it go any longer.

Seeing that the devil's face was getting more and more ugly, Anna thought he was going to turn his face. She was about to say something nice to coax her, she saw him with a gloomy face and said, "Okay."

Anna was taken aback, is it so simple?

Then she saw him turning around and walked away, looking at the direction he was leaving, it seemed to be a meditation room.

Anna stood there for a while, a little confused.

She originally thought she would have to spend a lot of energy dealing with the devil, but she didn't expect that he would agree so simply, even a little bit improvising.

He really worked hard for her soul.

At least the goal was achieved, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the library. In the next few days, she will make the extract, so she has to seize all the time to read books. In the next month, according to the plan, she and Natalie will only use the scattered time to review the theoretical knowledge, and the rest of the time will be used for practical exercises. .

Rothgar chose a meditation room at random and sat down cross-legged into a meditation state.

Whether it is a human or a demon, meditation is always the best way to calm down as quickly as possible.

When he finishes this meditation, the mental state of this body has also improved a lot, and it will be able to return to the best state in two days.

As for the question that entangled him before meditation, he also had a definite answer.

Anna said that she deliberately pissed off Magnolia impulsively, so why did she want to piss off Magnolia, and where did she get "impulsive"? It can be seen that even if she didn't admit it, she had him in her heart.

As for him, he will continue to win Anna's love as Raymond, even if he is affected by this human body, he cannot leave for a while. But he really shouldn't let him go any longer, and he would also like to thank Anna for bringing it up in time.

He is the Great Duke of the Abyss, and it couldn't be easier to restrain the slight influence of the human body on him.

After Anna returned to the library and read books for only one hour, it was time for lunch. She went to lunch with Natalie. Natalie was very excited to tell Anna about the gifts she received yesterday. She secretly Which hid as her own small vault.

"After I became a baron, I have to move out of the house, so I have to save some money." Since studying with Anna, Natalie has become more and more confident in her passing the promotion assessment. In Anna's view, this is of course. It's a good thing.

"That's right, and after you become a one-star wizard, you can also think about opening up your future sources of income." Anna laughed, "Independent financially, your personality can be independent."

Natalie nodded her head as if she knew it, she probably knew what Anna meant. After she got the title, she still had to have money, otherwise it would be useless to get the title. The annual salary paid by the lord might not be enough for her.

After the two had lunch together, they went to the pharmacy room and the meditation room respectively. Natalie continued her spell practice, which mainly exercised her mental power operation and laid a good foundation for the subsequent potion configuration. And Anna continued to make wattle grass extract, and the money was collected, and she was uneasy if she didn't make it as soon as possible.

Anna casually asked for an ordinary pharmacy room, which didn't even have an explosion-proof barrel. After all, the extraction liquid won't explode anyway.

This afternoon, Anna took a rest only once, and made 22 extracts, two more than the last time, but the time was about the same. Under the constant repetition of high intensity, the mental power consumed by her to make the extract has been reduced, but the speed has been improved.

After Anna checked that there were no problems with the 22 extracts, she sent them to the management office for temporary storage, and told the management office staff that Master Dawkins could take them away at will.

After returning home this evening, Anna finally found that Eppe was not lying lazily on the meditation mat, but was meditating, and she couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

He can be considered positive, so he can recover sooner and leave earlier.

Anna saw the demon in the library the next day, and seeing his face as usual, she was relieved.

Whether he listened to her or not, at least he didn't turn his face, it was victory.

In the next few days, Anna read the book in the morning and made the extract in the afternoon. It took six days. Before Master Dawkins had reacted, she finished all the extracts that should be made.

This week’s high-strength wattle grass material extraction has really improved Anna’s ability to micromanage mental power. Now she doesn’t even have to think about it. As long as she starts her head, she can make wattle grass extract in a state of distraction, saying that she is a jingle. Experts in vinegrass extraction are no exaggeration.

And Dawkins is also concentrating on adjusting the preparation process of the new potion this week. He has already seen the effects of this new potion, so he named it "Aria of Light" in advance. "Sigh of Light" is just a sigh. And he is chanting, the effect of this medicine can be distinguished from the name.

Because of the need to adjust, Dawkins did not consume the raw materials fast this time, so he was very satisfied with almost fifty extracts from the management office every two days. Until this day, the "Aria of Light" he prepared was no longer available. It will explode again, he saw the note Anna left him in the management office, telling him that the extract of the ten gold coins has been done, and he doesn't know if he still needs it.

Dawkins' face changed when he saw the note. He was so obsessed with the preparation of "Aria of Light" that he forgot about it. He was worried that Anna ran away, so he hurried to find Tereza. He asked that Anna was studying in the library this morning, and quickly went to find Anna with a lot of gold coins.

Anna has now saved enough five gold coins for the promotion assessment, and she is not as eager to make money as before, but when Dawkins is holding the gold coins in her hand, she is already a middle-aged man, but she still looks at herself like a puppy. , She accepted ten gold coins and said: "Mage Dawkins, I will prepare for the upgrade assessment of a one-star mage next. There is not much time available to make extracts every week."

Dawkins sighed in his heart and nodded understandingly. Then he heard Anna say: "I can only guarantee 80 copies a week."

Dawkins' depressed mood instantly improved. He thought that Anna could only make 20 or 30 copies a week, and 80 copies could be made much faster than he did by himself. He was almost crying with joy.

As for Anna's claim that she would participate in the assessment for the promotion of a one-star mage, Dawkins, who has fully understood Anna's talent, is not surprised at all. He even thinks that she will participate in the assessment of a two-star mage soon, so leave it to him. Time is really running out!

"Good, good enough!" Dawkins squeezed Anna's hand and said excitedly, "Anna, you are my noble man!"

The joy that the "Aria of Light" was about to be completely made Dawkins triumphed for a while, until the corner of his eye glimpsed not far away, I don't know when to follow Raymond, who stared at him with a frozen eye.

Dawkins shivered, and quickly let go of Anna. The two-star mage is different from the two-star mage. His two-star is almost over, but Raymond is a person who can become a four-star mage, and Raymond doesn’t have a good temper. The old bones are also used to make potions. Where can such a capable young man ever be beaten?

Quickly slip away!

Dawkins couldn't bother to tell Anna more, and ran away after saying goodbye.

Anna saw Dawkins' reaction and knew what had happened. She collected the gold coins, turned and walked towards the demon standing at the entrance of the library.

What she said to him that day worked, and since then, he hasn't deliberately touched her anymore, which relieved her a lot.

As a result, Anna just walked to the devil and heard his cold voice: "I can't touch you, but Dawkins can?"

Anna was taken aback, what this said...

It happened that two wizards came out of the library together, and suddenly looked over when they heard this. There are not many people in the Mage Association, and even if they don’t know each other, most of them have heard of their names.

Rotgar’s question of Anna before has been spread, and it has become an extremely glamorous story. Today, his words will definitely add a little bit of blood to the story-Master Dawkins who is over forty years old and No. The Raymond Mage who reached twenty grabbed a mage apprentice, and Raymond Mage even robbed and lost!

When Anna saw the gossip eyes of passers-by, she knew that her reputation might be worse.

Although what the devil said is true, but through his mouth, it became so strange for no idea... She was very suspicious that he was deliberately sabotaging her reputation, so that she could only choose him!

At this moment, facing the devil’s questioning, Anna could only explain in a nice way: "He was too sudden, I didn't react."

Rothgar sneered: "I can touch you while you don't react?"

Anna: "...Don't deliberately misinterpret my words!"

Anna is a little tired, how can she feel like she is coaxing an unreasonable wayward girlfriend...

Rothgar sneered, turned and left.

Anna didn't catch up, anyway, this little contradiction hadn't risen to the point of turning the table, so just let him go.

After lunch, Anna and Natalie did not separate this time, they went to the pharmacy together.

Starting today, they will have a special training on potion preparation together. Anna also has the task of making extracts for Dawkins, which can also be done at the same time.

The number of times Natalie has entered the pharmacy room over the years has been countless, but this is the most exciting time for her.

Before, she didn't have much planning when preparing for the upgrade assessment. She did this for a while, and got that for a while. But this time, she practiced the mental power micro exercises for a long time before coming to the pharmacy.

The preparation of potions is inseparable from the precise control of mental power, and she consciously feels that when preparing potions this time, she should have a different feeling.

There are not many potions involved in the one-star mage promotion assessment meeting, there are more than twenty kinds in total, all of which can be used by ordinary people, very basic potions, but considering the cost of repeated practice, Anna knows them It must not be won by the number of practice sessions.

She roughly estimated that the cost of configuring all the more than 20 kinds of potions is about one gold coin. The practice must be done at least once, but if all potions can be prepared in three days, it will take one in three days. Gold coins, thirty days are ten gold coins, Natalie is fine, but Anna herself can't afford it.

After becoming a one-star mage, the money spent on learning will only be much more than what is needed during the apprenticeship of the mage. The annual salary obtained from becoming a baron is thrown into the learning career of a one-star mage without even a sound.

Therefore, Anna can only rely on refinement, she plans to practice one by one, and then have a big review before the assessment, and configure all the potions again.

Natalie broke down when she learned about Anna’s review plan, because she used to guess which potions she would test, and focused on reviewing those potions before the exam. Many of the two dozen potions she never had She has never equipped it. For example, she has never equipped a potion that can grow hair after drinking it for a month.

Anna sorted all the more than 20 kinds of potions and asked Natalie to practice with her. The two of them occupied the test bench on one side. Within 15 minutes, Anna finished the first kind of magic on the list. Medicine is to help sleep. Looking at Natalie again, she was sweating on her head and was still fighting the potion material.

Anna took advantage of this time to start the production of the wattle grass extract, she now only needs half an hour to make two extracts with one heart and two, but half an hour is the limit and cannot be reduced.

Half an hour later, Anna wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she noticed that Natalie had already started making the third sleep potion, but the first two had failed.

In the purchase and use of potion raw materials, the two were separated. Anna only bought one, but Natalie obviously had no confidence in herself. She bought ten in one go. It seems that she is indeed buying right now.

Anna did not continue the production of the extract. She stood by and watched Natalie's operation. When Natalie was also broken this time, she said aloud: "The intervention of the water element is a little earlier, and you can One minute late, and it doesn’t last long enough, you can deal with it for another minute and a half."

Natalie nodded and took the notebook to write down what Anna said. Although she failed three times, her face was smiling: "Anna, I think the previous practice in the meditation room is really useful! I used to use water elements. When formulating the potion, it feels like the water element is making it by itself. I don’t know when to start and when to stop, but now I can really feel that I am controlling the water element, and it’s all in my grasp. middle!"

Natalie made a fist, her eyes sparkling, and she was overjoyed at the progress she could see with her naked eyes.

"This shows that you are enlightened, and practice more, practice makes perfect!" Anna encouraged.

This afternoon, Anna and Natalie were all consumed in the pharmacy room.

Anna used her talent and experience in mental micromanagement to successfully formulate four potions, and took the time to make ten extracts. She also corrected Natalie's small problems encountered during the configuration of the first potion. problem.

At seven o'clock in the evening, both of them were exhausted and could no longer make a potion. Fortunately, Natalie finally succeeded in formulating the first sleep-helping potion in her life before she ran out of potion materials.

"My father hasn't slept well in the past two days, so I can just use it for him." Natalie smiled tiredly, and she couldn't see any grudge when she talked about her father.

Anna couldn't help touching Natalie's head, and gave Natalie the sleeping potion she made.

If her father wants to marry her regardless of her wishes, she will definitely be grudged, and even fall out with her father, but Natalie did not, she struggled very hard within the framework set by her father, without seeing the slightest resentment.

She may not agree with Natalie's ideas, but she will respect and do her best to help.

When Anna and Natalie walked out of the pharmacy room, they found someone waiting for them, to be precise, waiting for Anna.

Natalie was glanced at by Rothgar, and said very loudly: "Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow, Anna!"

Then she quickly slipped away.

Anna remembered the two people who had separated from each other before, and walked forward and smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

Rothgar said: "I'm fine."

"Huh?" Anna was puzzled, and then suddenly said, "Your mental power is completely restored?"

Rothgar nodded coldly, then looked at Anna, as if waiting for her to speak.

Anna knows what he wants to hear from her... But can she say that the plan can't keep up with the changes? Before, she did say that he would go near the life and death line when his mental strength recovered, but now she has a stable way to make money, and she is still busy learning potion preparation, so she doesn't want to take any risks.

Anna just wanted to euphemistically propose another way to "enhance feelings" when she suddenly saw a familiar person walking by from a distance, she was slightly startled, hurriedly approached the devil, pointed to the other side and whispered: "Is that person Hansen York?"

Rothgar followed Anna's instructions, killing intent in his eyes suddenly, but before he could walk over, he was caught by Anna.

Rothgar looked back with a cold expression: "You want to stop me?"

Anna shook her head: "If I wanted to stop you, I wouldn't show it to you. I just don't think anyone can get hold of it."

She smiled slyly: "Beat him and let him know who beat him, but he has no evidence, wouldn't it be better?"

Rotgar watched Anna's smile, his heart moved slightly, and he abruptly resisted, ignoring the desire to touch her, and the corners of his mouth evoked a malicious smile: "Okay."
