Rothgar did not immediately deny it. He thought that his current purpose was to get Anna's heart, so that she could agree to his marriage proposal. So he stared at her in Anna's narrowly smiling eyes, and admitted almost expressionlessly. : "Yes, I am jealous of her."

Anna was taken aback, whether it was Raymond outside or the demon inside, her expressions were serious as if what he was saying was true.

She turned her eyes slightly, suppressing the strangeness in her heart, and smiled: "There is nothing to be jealous of. I really only like men. It is pure friendship with Natalie. She is my best friend in this world. What happened, I will go crazy."

In the last sentence, Anna seemed to express her concern for Natalie's friend. In fact, it meant something. She was using a seemingly inadvertent way to warn the demon not to interfere with her friend.

Rothgar understood Anna's suggestion, of course he didn't know that it was Anna's intentional suggestion, only if she said it casually, but he listened to it.

However, for a moment he still suspected that Anna was doing this to protect Natalie, not to let him see what she did to Natalie. After all, he is now Raymond, the son of a noble who is very obsessed with her. It is normal to do irrational things for love.

Just when Rothgar hesitated, Anna suddenly raised her hand and pulled his collar lightly, pulling him closer, almost touching him.

In the slightly dim night, Rotgar heard Anna's chuckle with a hint of wine: "Why do you have so little confidence in yourself? I just need time."

The low, seemingly lingering voice was close at hand, Rothgar's breathing almost stagnated, and the next moment seemed to be expecting something faintly.

Anna and the devil stared at her, staring at each other, hesitating...Should she go in person now to give her words a little more convincing?

For friendship, I gave too much...

Anna thought as if she had died, and closed her eyes, but she suddenly got a little more force on her shoulders and pushed her away.

This was expected to her, but she still breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes to look at the devil.

After pushing Anna away, the demon didn't know what he wanted to hide, and he had returned to the inner position and sat down. There is no light source in the carriage, and moonlight can't get in, only the shadow of a person inside can be seen.

The shadow said, "I see."

He paused before adding: "Drink less in the future."

"I know, I was just on a whim today. I didn't like drinking at first." Anna smiled and waved to the devil, "Be careful on the way."

Anna closed the door of the carriage, and then watched the coachman drive the carriage away, finally completely relieved.

Inside the carriage, Rotgar took a while to calm himself down.

I don't know if Anna's methods are too superb or Raymond's body is too fragile. When Anna approached her at such a short distance, he almost failed to push her away.

The heartbeat is still so fast, as soon as you close your eyes, you can see Anna closing her eyes and kissing...

Rothgar opened his eyes suddenly and gritted his teeth angrily.

Anna this woman!

Anna stood there for a moment, until the carriage completely disappeared from her sight, she unconsciously raised her hand and touched her lips. Although she hadn't kissed just now, the distance between the two was very close, and her breathing could be heard.

Fortunately, she didn't guess wrong. Even if the demon wanted to lie to her soul, it was unlikely that she would actually kiss her, or she might have avoided it before she kissed him.

Because of the previous experience, even though the devil was downstairs this time, and there was an Epp in the attic, Anna was not too nervous.

As long as she is calm enough, the person hiding in her family can be regarded as non-existent.

As soon as Anna pushed open the door of her room, she heard Ep's unfriendly voice: "I thought you would go with that person tonight."

Anna: "..."

She looked at Aipu who was lying on the ground silently, ignored him, went into the bathroom by herself and locked the door.

Unexpectedly, Epp was enthusiastic. He stood up and walked to the door and said unkindly: "Hey, you said he would be angry if he knew there was a man hidden in your room?"

The sound of water in the bathroom paused, and Anna's mocking voice came out: "You deserve to be called a man too?"

Aipu's eyes widened, and he slapped the door panel hard: "Why am I not a man anymore!"

Anna turned on the faucet and continued to wash her face. After drying it, she opened the door and looked at the frustrated Aipu with a smile: "Men don't have to hide in women's houses like you."

You don't need to care about political correctness at all, as long as you can make the other party speechless.

Aipu flushed with anger, and suddenly said, "Okay, I'm leaving now!"

After speaking, he turned and left. After opening the door, he walked out without stopping, and closed the door again, without making much noise.

Anna didn't stop him, she put some cream on her face that Natalie gave her, and slowly rubbed it away with her fingers, got up and cleaned the room for a while, then walked over and opened the door.

Aipu was sitting on the steps outside the door, and she had known this with scouting a long time ago.

"It's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Anna said, "Sorry, I drank some wine today and I was a little gaffe."

Aipu didn't want to talk to Lianna, but when he heard her apologize, he squeezed to his feet, grabbed the door panel and got in.

"Since you all apologized, then I will forgive you." Epp mumbled, sitting down on the meditation mat that now belongs to him, and tied his legs first.

Anna didn't say anything, and tied his hands in the past, then blew out the candle, went to the bed to lie down.

Although there are a lot of things hidden in her heart, after a day after all today, Anna fell asleep quickly.

With ten days to go before the exam, Anna decided to enter the wheel war review in the next time. Theory in the morning on the first day, meditation room in the afternoon, theory in the morning in the second day, pharmacy room in the afternoon, full-day combat on the third day, and then repeat the above cycle for two or three days. Assessment.

By the time of the association, Anna learned from Tereza that President Bella had already convened a committee meeting. Today, she is looking for volunteers from all two-star and above mages to form an investigation team to investigate deep within the life and death line.

Tereza also quietly told Anna that Lyon had signed up.

Anna couldn't help but sighed: "Mage Leon is really too enthusiastic."

She actually didn't want Leon to take risks anymore. She felt that this kind of thing was beyond Leon's ability. She should let the three-star or four-star mage go, otherwise she would be killed when she met the three-headed magic eagle.

But this is Lyon's own choice, he knows the actual situation is still such a choice, then she has nothing to say.

After speaking a few more words to Tereza, Anna went to the library and saw Natalie and the demon. It may be that the devil said something to Natalie. She felt that Natalie's expression was a bit distressed. She hurriedly smiled when she saw her coming, but after being glanced at by the devil, she immediately put it away.

Anna guessed that the devil must be threatening Natalie, but she didn't ask directly, she found a book she hadn't finished reading before, sat down, and read it for herself.

After Lyon told Anna that she might be able to participate in the promotion assessment, she was tempted. She has enough money to participate in the assessment. There is no problem in the micro-management and practice of mental power. There are only two kinds of medicines that have not been practiced. However, when she came back in a hurry yesterday, she also forgot to collect rabbit head grass. , Those two cannot be practiced for the time being, you can only memorize the process first. What she lacks most at present is the reserve of theoretical knowledge.

One month after the two-star mage promotion assessment, she still has time to prepare.

As long as there is nothing serious about the life and death line.

Anna is holding the theoretical knowledge that the second-star wizard needs to master. With the pre-knowledge base, it seems much easier.

While reading a book, taking notes, leaving my own thoughts, time passed very quickly, and after the three of them had lunch together, they parted ways.

Anna has been observing the devil quietly. Maybe she borrowed wine to reassure him last night. He didn't do anything extra today.

When Anna left the association that evening, she learned that the investigation team would leave for the life and death line early tomorrow morning.

She didn't have much to do, just tricked another bottle of "Aria of Light" from Master Dawkins and asked Tereza to give it to Leon for protection.

In the next few days, Anna reviewed during the day and had a good rest in the evening. At the same time, she did not forget to continue making extracts for Master Dawkins... Busy, she didn't have time to think too much.

Seven days after leaving, the investigative team came back. There were no shortage of people, but again, they returned without success.

Anna knew a general idea only through Tereza. After the investigation team reached the line of life and death, it was found that everything seemed to be back to normal. Only some of the monster bones near the line of life and death that should have come from deep inside the line of life and death proved that there was an abnormality here.

Naturally, the investigation team couldn't just go back without success. Going deeper, except for more and more monsters, the air is becoming more and more uncomfortable, but it found nothing unusual.

Therefore, after spending five days inside the life-and-death line, the investigation team had no choice but to return. However, fortunately, there are often wizards who go to the line of life and death. If there is any abnormality, you can report to the association as soon as possible. So far it can only be so.

Based on Anna's experience in watching various movies and TV dramas, this anomaly is likely to be a precursor to some major change, but the three-star and four-star wizards have conducted in-depth investigations and there is no result. Of course, it is even more impossible for her to find out.

As the saying goes, when the sky has fallen, there is a tall man against it. At present, the most important thing for her is the promotion examination.

The day before the exam, Anna and Natalie went to the registration office to get the specific arrangements for the exam.

There are a total of four assessment subjects, which will be completed in one day, including theory and mental power in the morning, potions and actual combat in the afternoon. Since the entire scale of the Mage Association is small, there are only 33 apprentices for the mage, not everyone takes the test. Anna heard from the staff at the registration office that there are a total of 24 people who signed up for the promotion assessment this time. The scale of the examination room required is not very large.

Theoretical examination is arranged in the study room outside the elementary library. The examination time is from 8 am to 10 am. Late arrivals are not allowed to enter the venue, but papers can be handed in in advance. The mental strength test is in the meditation room. The test time is from 10 to 12. During this period, candidates must go to the meditation room to enter the room according to the candidate number. Each time it takes about five minutes. The two exam rooms are evaluated at the same time, at 12 o'clock. Zero points are counted for those who have not entered the venue before. During the assessment, the examiner will select several spells from the question bank to require the examinee to perform on the spot, and the examiner will give scores based on the examinee's mental micromanagement ability.

The afternoon test starts at one point, and the test location is the pharmacy room, which is similar to the mental power test, except that the potion preparation time is slightly longer, and there are four test rooms. The examiner will draw a potion from the question bank and ask the examinee to prepare it on the spot. Successful preparation is the most basic, and the examiner will score according to the performance during the preparation process.

The actual combat is arranged in the martial arts arena. There will be an examiner in the arena. Each examinee has three minutes to attack the examiner as much as possible during these three minutes. After the time is over, the examiner will score points based on the examinee's performance.

Of course, there is no examiner's name in this assessment notice, but Anna feels that she has been prepared enough, no matter which examiner uses any strict criteria to judge, she can pass the promotion examination.

For the rest of the day, Anna did not arrange a review plan, and Natalie was a little nervous, so she accompanied Natalie around the association to enlighten her.

Anna also understands Natalie's feelings, after all, for her tomorrow's assessment is a matter of hardware coins, but for Natalie, it is related to her future.

After walking in a circle, Natalie's mood was much calmer. She did not have a test as confident as she is now, but because this test is too important, it is inevitable that there will be some troubles.

Early the next morning, the two well-reserved individuals came to the Masters Association early, waiting at the entrance of the library, waiting to enter the study room to take the theory test.

Anna had some unexpected demons there.

Anna was busy reviewing these days and didn't pay much attention to Rotgar, but with the experience of almost going to kiss that night, Rotgar's tolerance for Anna's "ignorance" was much higher.

Seeing Anna, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you pass?"

Anna smiled and said, "Of course I can!"

She could tell that the devil just asked casually, but actually didn't care if she passed or not. After all, what he wanted was her soul, not the badge of a one-star mage.

"So, you don't need to wait here." Anna continued, otherwise she felt that the devil was like a parent waiting for her child to finish the college entrance examination, which felt strange.

Rothgar sneered: "I stay wherever I love."

Anna: "...Okay, you have the final say."

Natalie snickered while covering her mouth.

Seeing that the study room has begun to enter, Anna hurriedly pulled Natalie into the room and took her seat according to her candidate number.

Anna is number seven, Natalie is number eight, and the two are at the front and back tables.

There were ink and a quill on the table. Anna checked and confirmed that there was no problem, and then quietly waited for the examiner to issue the test papers and watched the surroundings by the way.

From this look, Anna found that she and Natalie were definitely the two most eye-catching people. This is because generally you are an apprentice of a mage when you join the association at the age of seven, and after almost five years of study, you can participate in the promotion assessment to become a one-star mage. Most of the mage apprentices taking the exam here are around ten years old, and twelve years old is considered quite old. It is very, very rare to save enough money to join the association like Anna.

I have only been here for two months.

Anna met the examiner's surprised eyes very calmly, and even smiled.

At 7:55, the examiner with two gold stars on the badge began to issue test papers.

At eight o'clock, the examination officially began.

Anna was accustomed to the use of quill pens at this time, and she was writing quickly while looking at the questions on the test paper, almost without using much of her brain.

The quill pens in the hands of all the apprentices of the mage were writing slurs, and the surrounding area was quiet, with only the sound of occasional chair movement and sporadic coughing.

Anna had the illusion that she had returned to school. She was in a daze, and almost made a mistake. She quickly settled her mind and continued to concentrate on the problem.

About half an hour later, Anna finished all the questions and started to check. She checked more meticulously. It took fifteen minutes and no errors were detected, so she put down the pen.

Seeing that no one had handed in the paper yet, Anna continued to look at the paper in a daze, she didn't want to put pressure on Natalie. She knew very well that if someone in an examination room turned in papers in advance, it would have some impact on the rest of the people present.

Meditation is forbidden in the examination room, so Anna can only let herself wander away, reviewing what she has done all the time, and wondering if there is anything that can be optimized.

With half an hour left, the examiner started reporting the time, and some people handed in the papers one after another. Anna waited for two people and got up to hand in the papers. She glanced at Natalie when she handed in the paper. Natalie had finished writing, with a smile on her face. She should have done well in the exam, so she was relieved.

Soon after Anna handed in the paper, Natalie also came out. She hugged Anna and said excitedly: "Anna Anna, I have never known the answers to those questions as clearly as today. I can do most of them!"

Anna thought to herself that the title sea tactics are not built, she smiled and said: "Forget about this exam after you finish it, let's go to the next exam room!"

Natalie replied loudly: "Okay!"

She embraced Anna's arm in excitement, and when she looked up and saw Master Raymond staring at her coldly, she was so frightened that she quickly let go of Anna's hand.

She was just too happy and accidentally lost her mind. In fact, she remembered that Master Raymond told her that she should not do anything to Anna that morning! real!

Anna didn't care too much about Natalie's strangeness. Seeing the devil following them, she smiled at him, and suddenly pulled Natalie up and ran away.

Rothgar: "..." What are you running?

Anna and Natalie came to the meditation room, the mental strength assessment has not yet begun, the numbers of the two are relatively advanced, it is best not to go around at this time.

The two found a place outside to sit down, and saw Rotgar walking slowly.

Among the group of apprentice masters who took the exam, there was an extra two-star master who was not an examiner, which inevitably attracted attention. Anna noticed that no matter how young the apprentices of the mage were, they would not be accompanied by their parents to participate in the assessment, so the appearance of the devil seemed too extraordinary.

But she and Natalie were already eye-catching apprentices of the older mage, and multiple demons didn't matter.

"Will you be boring after we finish the exam?" Anna still doesn't want the devil to wait for her to finish the exam. It feels too strange, "We are going to take the exam for one day, so you should go."

Rothgar originally had a very shallow smile on his face. When Anna was chased away, his smile disappeared, and he said with a calm face: "Why do you have to drive me away? You want me to move my seat to someone else?"

Anna was speechless, waved her hand and said, "Okay, you just wait. Anyway, it's not me who is boring."

Rothgar snorted coldly, and simply sat down beside Anna.

Anna and Natalie arrived early and grabbed a bench outside the meditation room. Rotgar sat on the bench and the chair became crowded in an instant.

Anna looked sideways at Rothgar, and he looked back calmly.

The clock on the wall of the meditation room indicated that it was 9:45 in the morning, and it was too early for the start of the mental power test. Anna was not good at driving the devil away, so she could only meditate on the spot.

Rothgar looked at Anna's profile without evasiveness. He suddenly remembered that when he first saw her, she was still not looking good because of long-term malnutrition.

But now, her skin is much fairer and more delicate, and her complexion is also very good, and she has a bright look because of her strength, which is always eye-catching.

He thought, luckily she had left Blue Rock City, otherwise he wouldn't see her as such.

Anna in Black Cloud City is much more interesting than in Blue Rock City.

At 10:30, the meditation rooms of No. 1 and No. 2 as the examination room were already full of people. The staff of the association began to call at the door and let No. 1 and No. 2 enter the two meditation rooms respectively to participate in the assessment, while the others retired. Waiting quietly a few meters away.

Less than twenty minutes later, it was Anna's turn. She quickly got up and entered the meditation room No. 8 pointed by the staff.

She was relieved to be able to enter the exam room quickly, and the feeling that the devil had been staring at her was too scary, like a horror movie with a dark and strange tone.

And Natalie, who had not yet her turn, stood stiffly, praying silently in her heart: It's my turn, it's my turn... Master Raymond don't talk to me... It's my turn!

She did not have an exam like she hopes to come to her as soon as possible!

When she heard the staff call number nine, Natalie smiled and rushed over.

Anna stayed in the meditation room for three minutes before coming out. The examiner chose three spells based on her elemental affinity, and asked her to cast two of them. She chose the wind gathering and thunder and lightning spells, and cast them quickly and concisely.

After seeing the admiration on the examiner's face, Anna knew she was stable.

Natalie also came out soon, her expression not very nervous.

"Should be able to pass, but may not get a high score." Natalie said.

"It's fine if you can, and you won't be able to refund your exam fee if you have a high score." Anna joked, "Go, let's have dinner."

It's eleven o'clock now, and the cafeteria has started serving lunch.

Anna saw more servant-like people. They should have come to send lunch to their little master. After all, those who pull Natalie to eat in the cafeteria every day like her are a minority.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, the three of them walked to the pharmacy room.

After realizing that the devil would be with her for a day, Anna stopped resisting. If you want the parents of cos college entrance examination candidates, just let him go.

The potion assessment was not a problem for Anna. The examiner chose a potion that she could make based on her affinity element and asked her to make it on the spot.

In fact, just for this point, if there are many affinity elements, it will be a disadvantage. The same is true for the previous mental assessment. With more affinity elements, there are more potions that can be formulated, and the range of potions that candidates must be familiar with is also wider.

However, this kind of "sufficiency" does not exist for Xueba.

Anna started preparing the potion without thinking about it. After about ten minutes, the potion that was used to aid sleep was successfully formulated.

Observing the exclamation on the examiner's face after checking the potion, Anna left with satisfaction.

Natalie was in a good mood when she walked out of the examination room. She also said, "Mage Dawkins was the one who tested me!"

Anna raised her eyebrows: "Don't you need to avoid it?"

"Ah? Why avoid it?" Natalie asked puzzled.

Anna thought about it for a while and was relieved. There were only a few people in the Mage Association. Many people knew each other. If you want to avoid it, you may not find a suitable examiner. And it's just an assessment for the promotion of a one-star wizard, and no one will cheat in it.

The last item is actual combat. Anna was not surprised to see that the person standing on the ring was Leon.

Speaking of it, she doesn't seem to have played with Leon yet.

Rothgarh, who was following, looked a little heavy when he saw Leon, and when Anna looked at Leon, his eyes gleamed, and his expression became even more ugly.

"So happy to see Leon?" Rotgar snorted coldly.

Anna turned her head, her eyebrows curled: "Happy, just as happy as when you stood on the line of life and death before letting me fight."

After talking, Anna pulled Natalie forward.The actual combat is a bit different. Candidates can choose to go to the stage first, and those who have the will come first.Anna is going to go first and go home first after the exam!

Rothgar frowned.

Why did the special training on the life-and-death line reach Anna's mouth so that he stood stupidly and let her fight?

She was saying, was she happy when he hit him?

Rothgar was confused.

Looking at Anna's enthusiastic appearance on stage, he realized that, as expected, Leon and him are the tools for her to practice with, and she still ranks first in spells in her heart.

But apart from spells, his position in Anna's heart is obviously much higher than that of Leon, at least Anna tried to kiss him.
