A total of twenty-four apprentice masters signed up to participate in the one-star promotion assessment, and a total of five of them passed. Anna swept around, and the ones who were happy were the older ones. Some people who were too old to pass, left sadly.

There are also some young people who are not uncomfortable to see that they have failed. It is probably the same as some people taking the college entrance examination in the second year of high school, just to practice their hands.

There is also a line written under the result table. Those who are qualified need to hand in the badge to the registration office for the promotion assessment as soon as possible.

After Anna waited for Natalie to calm down, the two of them went to the registration office. The other three apprentices who passed the mage arrived a little earlier than them, and the five took off their badges and handed them to the staff.

It is very easy to add stars to the badges. The staff took five badges to the back, and when they came back after a few minutes, each badge was a gold star.

"Congratulations to the five one-star wizards." The staff said with a smile, and talked about the ceremony of how to become a baron in the future. It is almost the same as Natalie said. It has to wait until the birthday of the goddess, when the association They will be notified in advance, and they don't need to worry about it for the time being.

Anna solemnly pinned the badge on her chest. This is the best commendation for her hard work over the past two months.

She and Natalie left the registration office, and Anna said, "Natalie, I will continue to study next. I want to try the two-star promotion assessment in a month."

Natalie knew Anna's choice a long time ago, and after hearing the words, she thought about it and said: "I want to study with you!"

One month later, she would definitely not participate in the two-star promotion test, but she still wanted to learn with Anna. She found that becoming a one-star mage was not that difficult, she wanted to move towards a two-star mage!

"Okay, let's go together!" Anna opened her eyes and smiled, how pleasant it is to be accompanied by someone on the way of learning.

Anna and Natalie walked along the road with a smile, coming head-on as if waiting for their demon.

Anna greeted her and stood tall: "Look, I am a one-star mage now!" As long as you don't stop me, I will definitely become a five-star mage soon!

Rothgar glanced at the badge on Anna's chest, and the blank position had been filled with a gold star.

He nodded: "It should be."

In order to help her, he did a lot of things that he wouldn't do before, and if she couldn't get through this way, then he would have to be furious.

Regardless of whether the demon's attitude is good or not, Anna becomes a one-star mage, and she is considered to have a knighthood. She is making progress towards her goal!

"Now we are going to study, are you coming?" Anna asked.

Rothgar has nothing else every day, so naturally he will not refuse: "Of course."

So on the first day when the results of the promotion assessment were announced, the three Annas once again sat in familiar seats.

The collection of books in the elementary library is not too much, and most of the books are not thick. Anna once secretly thought that she might be able to read all the books on the shelves. However, she later discovered that some books were really worthless, and she naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

She took some books suitable for one-star and two-star mages, and continued to study and take notes.

On the first day of restarting her studies, Natalie didn't want to work too hard, so she took a biographical book, and she slowly seemed to see interesting places, but she also held back a smile from time to time.

Rothgar also took the book casually and placed it in front of him. He only looked at it occasionally, but most of the time he looked at Anna with his cheeks up.

Her profile was very soft, and he couldn't help but want to compare with her tough character. Obviously a weak woman who can lean on her body and be held in the palm of her hand, she just walked out of such a spacious road alone.

He watched her step by step to the present, recalling her original appearance, and looking at it now, even he thought it was incredible. From a girl in a slum to a one-star mage, from a baron, she only used four Many months.

At this moment, her serious profile is fascinating.

Rothgar had long been accustomed to his sudden thoughts that were full of beautiful words about Anna, and he didn't even blame Raymond's fragile body anymore.

Are not all human males like this? Just wait for him to get out of this body anyway.

After studying for a whole morning, the group of people left the library, but was stopped by a stark three-star mage.

He was a 30-something male mage with a gentle and gentle appearance. He walked over quickly when he saw Anna, looked at her and smiled: "You are Anna, right?"

Anna was taken aback and nodded: "Yes, what can I do for you?"

The smile on the face of the mage was very kind: "I know your grades in the promotion assessment. I want to be your teacher. I wonder if you are interested?" He said, handing over a piece of paper, "This is me. You can think about it, don’t reply to me immediately.”

After speaking, the mage nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Anna held the paper that the mage handed over, slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, her performance in the promotion assessment spread so quickly.

Because the relationship between the student and the teacher is a two-way choice, the mage's performance in this way couldn't be more normal.

Anna lowered her head to take a closer look, stretched a slender hand from the side, took the piece of paper away, and tore it with a stab.

At the gaze of Anna's glaring, Rotgar had a calm expression and said in a cold voice: "A mere three-star mage, I don't deserve to be your teacher."

Anna couldn't help but complain, you are only two stars now, okay!

She held the devil's hand where she wanted to continue tearing up the paper, looked at him and said, "I didn't want to choose anyone to be my teacher." Unless it was a five-star mage who could have made a devil.

Rothgar raised his brows, Anna took the piece of paper, put it together and continued to read it, and said: "But I have to show some face and wait for two days to'consider' before turning down, right?"

Rejecting in person is too shameless. Anyway, she is not in a hurry to accept students, so she pretends to think about it for two days, and then sincerely expresses her refusal to save the other person's face. The Mage Association is too small, and she thinks it's better not to make enemies indiscriminately.

Rothgar sneered. He knew Anna's purpose, but he didn't agree with it.

"That kind of person is worth to befriend?" He sneered.

Anna glanced at him, not wanting to speak. What is his status and level, and what level is she? He can underestimate everything in the human world, but she can't.

"Not convinced?" Rotgar noticed Anna's eyes.

Anna smiled and said, "I think multiple friends are better than multiple enemies. After all, I am still a weak person with only one star."

Rothgar said: "With me, no one can bully you."

Anna thought to herself, obviously you are the one who bullied me the most, okay?

If there is no devil, she doesn't know how leisurely life is, and she doesn't have to desperately improve her strength like rushing to reincarnate.

"You can't be there all the time, only the improvement of your own strength is the most reliable." Anna said.

Anna could say this, Rothgar was not surprised, and he really wouldn't be here...but she wouldn't be here at the time.

"It's up to you." He smiled meaningfully.

Anna almost got goose bumps when she was laughed at by the devil, knowing that there was something in his words, she couldn't say anything.

This afternoon, Anna went to the meditation room to practice. For the next month, she decided to practice in the morning and practice in the afternoon.

Two days later, Anna went to his permanent pharmacy on the paper that the Samsung wizard handed her, and sincerely expressed that she didn’t want to find a teacher for the time being. Fortunately, the Samsung wizard was not so good. With an unhappy look, she also left a hole for her, saying that if she wanted to, she could go to her again at any time.

Anna sighed that this mage was really good, but she was really not good at injuring others, she could only say thankful words, in fact, she had already decided not to come to him again.

Anna even ran into Leon once in the pharmacy. The two briefly talked about Anna's performance in the promotion assessment, and did not say much.

Anna deliberately stayed away from Lyon, and it was impossible for Lyon to drag her to chat when she wanted to leave.

On the fifth day after the results of the promotion assessment were announced, Rotgar suddenly said to invite Anna to watch the opera at night.

Anna's expression was a little surprised, which is a bit like a modern boy asking a girl out to watch a movie. However, after all, the devil wants to obtain her soul by obtaining her heart, and it is not surprising that it will do so.

"Natalie..." As soon as Anna asked, the demon frowned.

But the one who reacted faster than the devil was Natalie on the side. She quickly said: "I won't go. There is a banquet at home tonight, and I can't be there."

Anna looked at Natalie, and Natalie smiled weirdly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Look at the devil again, because Natalie is not going, her expression is very satisfied.

Anna thought that she had no reason to refuse, and she agreed.

After practicing in the afternoon, Anna insisted on pulling the devil to eat dinner in the cafeteria of the association, mainly because she was upset and wanted to save some money for Raymond wherever she could.

It was past seven o'clock after dinner, and the start time of the opera was eight o'clock. When Anna got into the carriage, she finally asked, "What's the name of the opera?"

"You'll know when you arrive," Rotgar said mysteriously.

Anna guessed for herself. When she arrived at the entrance of the theater, she couldn't help being speechless when she saw the handwritten poster.

"The Devil and His Love".

No, didn't he hate this drama before? Why did he get her to watch it again? From black to deep black to fan?

Anna didn't mind reading it again, and without asking more, she followed into the VIP room.

There are already a lot of people sitting below. There are still many rich people and nobles in Black Cloud City, and people who have money want to show off, and they can’t be like a nouveau riche. There is nothing to show off. Then use what you have seen. Install it. Therefore, watching opera has become the capital of some people to show off.

Anna waited while drinking tea, and soon the curtain opened.

She noticed the smile on the devil's face and seemed to be in a good mood, and couldn't help but wonder if he did something.

In the first scene, the noble girl Luna cried out about her unfree marriage. The devil appeared and said that she was willing to help her, but the devil did not wear a mask like Anna had seen before.

From the second act, the changes have been even greater. After the devil rescued Luna, Luna fell in love with the devil. Although Luna’s cousin escaped, but later came back, kneeled in front of the devil and said that he was willing to give everything to him. The noble who fell in love with Luna at first sight The son also swore allegiance to the devil after seeing the devil, and even new characters appeared. Luna's best friend was fascinated by the devil after seeing the devil.

Later, Luna's father, who was the only one who maintained his sense, still found a wizard, but the wizards were also fascinated by the devil. Whether it was a man or a woman, he was willing to do everything for him to please him. In the end, Luna, who was deeply jealous, poisoned everyone, including herself, in a banquet. She said that if you can't be the only demon, then everyone will die. The cold demon did not shed a single tear, and left here to look for the next batch of victims.

After Anna came back from Luna's cousin, she was stunned when she expressed her affection for the devil.

No, how could a good tragic love story be transformed into such a strange Jack Su plot?

She thought of the mysterious expression when the devil had to pull her to watch the opera, and suddenly understood that it was probably his instructed to change it, but she did not expect that his hobby was so unique that even the devil in the play would eat both men and women. Could it be that he also...

Anna subconsciously turned her head to look at the devil, but saw that his expression at the moment was not much better than hers, her calm face seemed to violently hurt people at any time.

Hey, didn't he make it change?

Roth Garr is indeed so angry that he wants to kill someone. What's the matter with that theater manager, did he deliberately want to piss him off? He clearly only said that demons are very handsome and attractive, and will not indulge in love, will not die for anyone, how could they be changed like this! How can the devil refuse to come to men too! No, how can the devil never refuse to come!

Rothgar just almost planned to stand up, it was Anna who suddenly pulled back his sanity.

"Raymond, this play has been changed quite...curiously." Anna had a weird expression, and came up and said, "Did you take me to watch it again because you knew it was changed and you liked the changed play?"

"No!" Rotgar looked gloomy, "I didn't know this play was changed to this."

In other words, it was indeed he who instructed the change, but Party B failed to meet Party A's requirements...

Anna felt a little funny seeing the devil's angry look. The audience under the stands seemed to have a high acceptance of this story. When the actors called for the curtain call, they stood up and applauded desperately. She even saw some The lady was wiping her tears with her handkerchief, and her brightly colored nails were looming among the white silk handkerchiefs.

Because she was worried that the devil would be violent and wounded because of this demon change drama, Anna pretended to inadvertently hold his forearm, smiled and tentatively said: "Actually, I think this change is pretty good. The devil should be like this. I care about anyone and will not stay for anyone."

Hearing Anna's words, Rotgar turned his head to look at her, frowning and said: "Have you not seen a demon? You think so?"

Anna said: "I have seen it before, but... after all, it is a demon. It doesn't feel right to die for a human woman like the previous edition. What do you think?"

Rothgar met Anna's never-shifted gaze. For a moment, she felt as if she had been seen through. She seemed to know that there was a demon hidden in her body.

But this ridiculous idea was quickly abandoned by him. This kind of thing could not happen. He hadn't appeared before the Pope after he was possessed. Even a five-star mage couldn't see through him. Anna is now just a two-star mage.

Rothgar thought of the fragile state of Raymond's body when facing Anna, and he was suddenly very upset for some reason.

"Of course," Rotgar sneered. "To demons, humans are a lower race. Will you die for cats and dogs?"

Anna smiled and said, "Of course not. So, I think this version has been changed well."

She let go of the devil's forearm and leaned deeply back on the back of her chair. She is tempting boldly, wanting to see if everyone has been getting along for more than four months, will he have such feelings for her? After a long time, cats and dogs will have feelings, right?

But the result of the temptation disappointed her. She could see that he was sincere in what he said. To him, being a demon, human beings are a low-level race, so how can they have any feelings?

Forget it, she shouldn't have such extravagant hopes.

Rothgar looked at Anna, and he keenly felt that her mood seemed a little depressed, but her face was still smiling.

Why? She doesn't actually like this version of the opera?

Of course it is impossible to like it, this version is too bad, not even as good as the first version.

Rothgar was still thinking, Anna yawned and stood up and said: "It's not early, I should go home."

Rothgar also got up and said, "I will send you back."

"No need," Anna smiled sharply at him, "I have something to think about, I want to take a walk."

Anna was clearly smiling, but Rotgar saw her expression but felt a little bit stuck in his heart. He didn't insist: "Let's do it with you."

The two walked out of the theater. Rothgar watched Anna leave on foot. He looked back at the theater. He once wanted to find the theater manager to settle the account. But after standing for ten seconds, he suddenly felt very boring and got into the carriage and left.

Anna likes to walk slowly in the night and think quietly.

Thinking of the devil's answer just now, she couldn't help but sighed.

He really didn't hide his contempt for humans at all.

Darkness has a more emotional power. Anna was surrounded by night, and she suddenly remembered the scene of the devil fighting for her with blood on the line of life and death that day.

Without thinking about his true purpose, he is really handsome in that picture.

She remembered again that compared to the trembling appearance when she first faced him, she was obviously more relaxed now, and sometimes even forgot his true purpose, and really treated him as a friend.

But after all, she is naive, and people really treat her as a prey. How can she be a prey to have feelings for a hunter? Even if he helped her and saved her many times, he would just kill her soul.

Anna sighed, she should be more sober, but she can't be confused by him.

She decided to think about the opera she watched today when she felt that the devil man was pretty good. The sober effect was full.

When Rothgar saw Anna again the next day, of course he didn't find anything wrong with Anna.

Anna continued to devote herself to her study, even more focused than preparing for the previous one-star promotion assessment. She knew very well that only strength was her backing, and she couldn't expect the devil to let her be relieved suddenly with kindness.

After almost ten days have passed, it is time to register for the two-star assessment.

There are 47 in the Black Cloud City Mage Association. No, there are already fifty-two one-star wizards. On the other hand, more people have signed up for the second-star wizard assessment, but among the five new apprentices, only Anna One person signed up.

When Anna went to sign up, the staff at the registration office were very surprised to see her. She only became a one-star mage half a month ago. Of course they still remember it very clearly. They thought she wanted to practice her hands, although it was a bit too early, but they were not qualified to say anything.

After Anna signed up, she continued to devote herself to the two-star study and practice. She consolidated the past four projects one by one, because the actual combat training was a bit troublesome, so she chose Tian to specifically go to Lyon and asked her how much difference there is between her actual combat level and the second-star mage.

Leon smiled slightly and said: "If I scored you in the two-star assessment, I would give you excellent."

Anna smiled in surprise: "It turns out I am so good now."

"Yes, the two-star assessment is not difficult for you, and you will pass." Leon said after a pause, as if he wanted to say something, but he resisted it. Anna has to prepare for the two-star assessment, he shouldn't bother her at this time and let her be distracted.

Anna was still immersed in the joy that she had unknowingly so much, and she didn't notice Leon's hesitation again.

But even if she noticed, she would probably treat it as invisible. For the unlucky one who is stared at by the devil, she is enough.

Anna signed up for the second-star assessment after she became a one-star mage, and the news gradually spread in the Mage Association.

In the world of wizards in this world, wizards do have a distinction between genius and mediocrity, but whether or not they are genius cannot be discovered when testing elemental affinity, but will gradually emerge during long-term learning.

Therefore, when Anna, who joined the Association as a seventeen-year-old "advanced mage" apprentice, became a one-star mage, she has attracted the attention and observation of some people. If she can be successfully promoted to a two-star mage, then she is a genius. , It can almost be nailed down.

The average mage joined the Association at the age of seven and began to study. After several years of study, he became a one-star mage at the age of eleven or twelve, and then was promoted to a two-star mage at the age of sixteen or seventeen. The first two levels are relatively easy to reach, but to become a three-star mage, it takes nearly ten years of study and practice. Many people have been promoted to the three-star mage at the age of thirty. Therefore, Raymond, who was about to become a three-star mage at the age of eighteen, is already very talented.

Although Anna seemed to be able to become a two-star mage at the age of seventeen, she was similar to an ordinary two-star mage, but she had only joined the Mage Association for more than two months, so she jumped two levels in a row. It is really not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius.

Even, there are people secretly betting on whether Anna can pass this upgrade assessment.

Anna suddenly realized that she had gained a lot of attention in the association recently.

Someone secretly watched her while she was reading in the library, someone quietly pointed to her when she was walking in the association, and when she went to the pharmacy and meditation room accidentally passing by someone else’s site, someone came out to see her... she seemed to be suddenly Became the focus of everyone.

"It's too difficult." Anna sighed low, lying on the table in the library, no matter if others were staring at her.

It's true that you won't lose a piece of meat to be seen, but it's really awkward.

"It's just being stared at. What do you care about them?" Rothgar said so, but he turned his head and looked coldly at the people who looked at Anna from time to time. The people he saw were aroused. , Quickly avoided the line of sight.

"That's right..." Anna shook her head gently. She can imagine that after she passes the exam, more people will pay attention to her, and she will become a figure in the entire association.

She wanted to keep a low profile and take her time, but the situation didn't allow it.

"Forget it, there are still ten days, Nunren will pass." Anna sat up suddenly, deceiving herself.

However, if she really passes, she may have a turning point, but it is not without hope.

The depression was only temporary, and Anna soon devoted herself to the ocean of knowledge again.

This is the only way to solve her plight.

In the next few days, those gazes certainly did not disappear, but Anna had already done a good job of mental construction and didn't think much about it.

On the contrary, it was Rothgar, who was stern all day, as if everyone owed him a hundred gold coins.

He didn't like the sight that fell on Anna very much, but he couldn't do anything.

And another thing that made Rothgar even more upset was that in a blink of an eye, his time was running out.

There were still nearly four months left before Balan changed the content of the bet. He felt that this time was sufficient, but the time passed so fast, and now there is less than one month left in a blink of an eye.

He can feel that Anna treats him differently, but he also has a hunch that if he proposes to her now, she will not agree.

Anna has been preparing for the second-star assessment for the past month, and he has done nothing extra, but after her assessment is over, he has to find a way to do something.

He must win this bet.

On the day of the two-star assessment, Anna was in high spirits, and both Natalie and Rotgar accompanied her specially.

She knew it was useless to refuse, she just thanked them for their company.

At 8:30 in the morning, Natalie hugged Anna before entering the examination room and solemnly said: "Anna, you will be excellent!"

Anna smiled and hugged Natalie back: "Yes, I think so too."

She let go of Natalie and looked at the demon again, and smiled at him: "Then I will go in."

Rothgar raised his eyebrows.

Anna waved and walked into the study room of the library.

This time there was no Natalie, and Anna was not afraid of putting pressure on others, so she handed in the paper one hour after the exam started. The test questions did not exceed her scope of study, and she answered very easily.

She also passed the next mental power easily. Before the one-star assessment, she was already familiar with the application of a lot of one-star spells. It was okay to make a surprise attack this month.

In the afternoon potion exam, she got the potion related to the rabbit head grass. During this time, she did not go to the life and death line. After all, she was injured by the three-headed magic eagle, and she was psychologically shadowed. However, relying on the superb micromanipulation of mental power and familiarity with the preparation process, Anna easily completed the preparation of the potion.

Coincidentally, the examiner of the potions exam was the Samsung Mage who had previously said that she would accept her as a student. He smiled friendly when he saw her, and obviously knew that she had signed up for the exam.

When Anna came out of the potion exam, she said to Rotgar: "The examiner of the potion exam was the three-star mage who had to accept me as a student before. You see, I said it was right to save him face!"

Rothgar said with disdain: "If he dares to deliberately disqualify you, I won't let him go."

Anna squinted at the two-star badge on his chest, and deliberately said in a weird manner: "Yes, you can definitely teach him."

Rothgar stared at Anna. Just about to fight for his dignity, he saw Anna pulling Natalie away, and then turned around to greet him: "Let’s go to the martial arts field first, you go slowly!"

Rothgar lost all his temper, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and slowly followed.

This time in the martial arts arena waiting for the one-star wizards to challenge is a three-star wizard, and there is also a three-star wizard standing next to the ring for rotation.

After all, a one-star mage is better than a mage apprentice, and the number of people taking part in the exam is so large that the ants often kill the elephants, and a three-star mage might not be able to cope with a wheel fight.

Like the one-star actual combat test, it is also first-come, first-served. Anna feels that she shouldn’t be in the limelight anymore. I don’t know that these one-star wizards from the age of fourteen to early twenties seem to have rehearsed in advance. , All turned to look at her.

Anna even saw the two girls who laughed at her the day she first met Natalie. They were taught by the devil. Later, she and Natalie and the devil mostly studied together, and never came to trouble again.

Watched by so many pairs of eyes, Anna walked forward cruelly like sitting on pins and needles, and took the initiative to choose the first one to go to the ring.

"Ask the Master for advice." After greeted politely, Anna rushed up when she heard the start signal.

Maybe it’s that Anna is a little bit unreasonable to play cards-like Leon and the devil in the battle of life and death, not everyone has the actual combat skills, and the three-star mage has experienced the actual combat assessment, whether it is a mage apprentice He was still a one-star mage, who had never rushed over like this at the beginning, he was surprised for a while, and he almost couldn't escape the first blow of Anna's temptation.

There was a cold sweat on his head, and the three-star mage focused his attention and got serious. If he was hit by a novice who had only been promoted to one star for a month during the one-star-to-two-star assessment, his face would be lost.

These three minutes were terrifyingly long for him. He didn't know why this young female mage gave herself such a sense of oppression, just like... the game he played against Raymond a few months ago. On several occasions, he dangerously avoided the surprise attack she hid behind an upright attack, because remembering the fear of being dominated by Raymond before, he almost fought back against the examiner's guidelines.

When three minutes arrived, he actually let out a long sigh of relief. Because of high mental stress, before the next candidate came up, he took the initiative to get off the ring and replaced with another mage. Although this seems a bit embarrassing, it is better than he was hit by other candidates because of the consumption of this game.

It’s just that he didn’t catch his breath when he saw Raymond staring at him coldly outside the crowd. He suddenly felt a chill on his back, and suddenly remembered the savory rumors of this novice mage and Raymond, and finally understood her. Where did the familiar feeling of oppression come from. Obviously, her actual combat was taught by Raymond, so it's no wonder.

Of course, she will get an excellent performance, so many people watch her performance, he is unwilling to deliberately lower the score to make people feel that he has no stomach.

Anna got off the stage out of breath, looked at the demon and asked, "How did I behave just now?"

Rothgar retracted his gaze and said casually: "If you can't get good, I'll go and beat the examiner."

Anna was speechless for a while. You are a two-star mage now. You can beat a three-star mage at every turn. Isn't it arrogant? Take it anyway, don't let people notice your strangeness!

"Don't have trouble with the examiner." Anna saw that the devil was really staring at the examiner who was resting, she quickly apologized to the examiner from a distance, and forced the devil to leave.

Natalie hurried to follow.

In the evening, Anna brought a big roast goose back to Aipu to eat. Aipu knew that she was going to participate in the promotion assessment today, and asked casually: "You did well in the exam today?"

Anna smiled brightly: "Yes, I don't think the qualification problem is big."

She pointed to the badge on her chest: "In two days, you will witness the miracle that a mage apprentice jumps two levels in three months, thank you!"

Aipu believed that Anna didn't speak big words. He looked at her in a daze with a golden star badge.

A month ago she was just an apprentice to a mage, and in two days she will be a two-star mage.

Almost half a month ago, Epps had another attack. At this moment, the dark lines on his face had faded a lot, which made his open eyebrows a bit more arrogant.

"What's so great about it, it's rare and weird." Epp mumbled, and he took the roast goose and tore off the goose leg to eat.

Anna sat down beside him and looked at the dark lines on his face for a while and said, "Are the dark lines on your face almost disappearing?"

Aipu took a meal and glanced at Anna and said, "You want to drive me away?"

Anna thought for a while and said: "If you want, you can live in Givina after the dark lines on your face disappear. There are still vacant rooms downstairs. I will say that you are my brother. I will help you with the rent and living expenses. You pay. As long as you don’t reveal your identity, no one will know who you are."

Epp lowered his head and slowly chewed the roast goose in his mouth, then looked up at Anna when he swallowed, "Why are you so good to me?"

Because I am different from the devil.

Anna suddenly thought of the devil and the words he said in the theater. He had been with her for five months and still thought she was his prey. He had no companionship towards her at all, but she was different.

Aipu has lived with her for more than two months, and she seems to be used to someone being here when she returns home. She couldn't drive him away when he would reveal his identity as soon as he went out, and she was willing to give him a safe way to survive after the dark lines on his face disappeared. Unlike Dibian, he has a teacher who must meet, he is homeless.

She smiled: "Keeping a cat and dog for two months can foster feelings, let alone people."

Epp immediately glared at Anna: "Who are you scolding for is a cat or dog!"

Anna waved her hand and smiled: "Don't be angry, this is just an analogy... Hey, don't drop the goose on the floor, don't waste food!"

Before going to bed, Anna still tied Epp up, and then lay back on her bed. In fact, she felt that she didn't need to tie her up anymore, but she got used to it anyway, and Aipu didn't raise an objection, so she just did business as usual.

I don't know how long it has passed, when Anna's even breathing sounded from the bed, and Aipu suddenly moved his hand dexterously, breaking free from the rope.

After getting acquainted, Anna was not as serious in tying him as before. He could untie the shackles long ago, but he never told her or did that.

When all the restraints on his feet were released, Epp stood at the end of the bed, looking at Anna who was sleeping quietly on the bed.

The room was very dim, and he couldn't see her clearly, but he thought that she must look good when she was asleep, much better than she mocked him when she was awake.

He didn't get close to the bed. After standing for a while, he walked gently to the door, but halfway through, he turned around and came back, picking up the package of roast geese that hadn't been finished.

Then, he quietly opened the door and walked out, then gently closed the door.

Roasted goose is really fragrant.

Thinking like this, he walked down the stairs and into the alley, his figure gradually blending into the night.

When Anna got up the next day, she found that Ep was missing.

The meditation mat was scattered with the ropes she used to tie Eppe. She rummaged under the bed and the bathroom, but Eppe was not there.

Then she rummaged through the room, and finally confirmed that nothing was left in the room except for the roast goose that hadn't been eaten last night.

Anna sat on the bed in silence, looking at the empty room a little lost.

She was convinced that Ep had no money, so he just left without a little money?

There are also the dark lines on his face that have not completely dissipated. If someone finds out, he will be recognized as a dark mage and will be sent to the church.

Anna couldn't understand why Epp would leave, she didn't want to drive him away, she even suggested last night that she would continue to take him in after the dark lines on his face disappeared.

Could it be that because she compared him to a cat or dog, he got angry and ran away?

Probably not. When she picked him up at first, her attitude towards him was even worse because he couldn't leave. He still cherished his life.

Anna really couldn't figure it out, but felt a little empty in her heart.

After sitting for a while, she curled her lips and smiled.

Forget it, no matter if Ep is gone, she doesn't have to worry about being caught by the devil and causing serious problems.

Having said that, Anna deliberately went to the church before going to the Wizards’ Association, even went inside to pretend to pray, and cast a few silver coins, and then ran to the priest and said that she had a nightmare last night and found that a corrupted wizard appeared in the city, expressing Her worries-of course she hid her mage status while doing all this.

The pastor told her not to worry. It has been a long time since the fallen mage appeared in Black Cloud City. Even if the fallen mage appears, the church will protect the believers.

Anna made a reassured appearance and quickly left the church.

She did feel a little more at ease, at least for now, Ep has not been sent to the church.

On this day, Anna was uneasy and even discovered the devil. When he asked, there was nothing wrong with her answer: "I am a little worried about the results announced tomorrow."

Rothgar said: "If you fail, no one in the assessment yesterday will be able to pass."

Anna looked at the demon in front of her who seemed to be comforting her, and felt that she was indeed comforted.

It's not about the assessment results. She has no doubts about the assessment results. She still has this confidence.

She was thinking, such a big demon is still pestering her in front of her, how can she still have the energy to hurt the spring and the autumn and worry about others?
