CH 12.1

Trick of the Trade (1)

After that, Rothgarr ate his lunch quietly. Because his body still felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't finish eating this time. After Anna cleaned up and left, he looked out the glass window until she walked out of his sight.

Now he was looking forward to Anna making her move on the mage. Then he could push the boat along the current, making use of this opportunity to switch bodies.This body had no affinity for supernatural elements and was so weak that it was disgusting; on the other hand, the body of the mage was barely acceptable.

Anna left cautiously; she felt that the demon was always staring at her, and his malicious gaze was about to drill a hole through her.

However, after this "sickness" incident, her fear of this demon had dropped a little.

Even after the demon possessed ordinary humans, he was still able to get sick! And he doesn't seem to be able to do anything about this illness! Heavens, he was really too weak! It was clear that the demon was strictly bound by rules, and as long as she didn’t meet those certain rules, he couldn't do anything to her.

Of course, a demon who could possess her body was better than an ordinary person like her who lacked even the strength to truss up a chicken. She did not need to be so afraid of him, but could not belittle him, or she might not even know how she died.

Several times his killing intent was so strong, she thought he might have the ability to bypass the rules, but perhaps the cost of doing so was relatively high, and as long as he felt there was hope to harvest her soul within the rules, he would not easily violate them.

So she must have a good grasp on things, and give him some hope while clearly rejecting his marriage proposal. Only this way could she prevent him from flipping over the table in anger.

Thinking about it this way, Anna felt like a scumbag who treated people like a rebound.

But since this demon was not a human being, it was all right.

Abigail and her group were very concerned about Parrish's body. During the afternoon break, they ran back to find out more from Anna.

Anna told them that Young Master Parrish was okay, and she even mentioned that she had met the mage, smoothly shifting the topic to mages.

"That distinguished lord looks very prestigious. I wonder if we have a chance to become a mage?" Anna deliberately said with emotion.

Although the three of them wanted to please Anna, they couldn't help laughing when they heard her ignorant words.

Fiona smiled. She looked at Anna and said, "We are just mere civilians, how could we become noble mages?"

"Anna, you don’t want to be an aristocrat, do you? But if you want to be a mage, you’ll become nobility. At that point, you might as well marry a nobleman..." Abigail's tone contained a bit of sharp irony, but she suddenly realized something and quickly added, "Of course, you already have a lover, and probably don't want to marry a nobleman."

She didn't want Anna thinking about marrying a nobleman. Otherwise Young Master Parrish would definitely be the first choice!

"Yes, I am loyal to my lover." Anna casually expressed her infatuation and continued the topic, "Have you never thought of becoming a noble aristocrat? If people don't have dreams, then what’s the difference between them and salted fish? I want to become nobility together with my lover, so I want to know if there is a way."

Abigail’s words about becoming an aristocrat through becoming a mage made Anna very excited. She wanted to have power and status!

Hearing Anna's words, the three looked at each other and stopped laughing at the same time.

Become an aristocrat?

What normal civilian wouldn’t want to become nobility? But they had no noble blood, no affinity for the supernatural elements given by the goddess, and they were not men who could be appreciated by important people nor make contributions. There was no way to become aristocrats.

Becoming the lover of a nobleman was their best end goal in this life.

After a long silence, Kelly said thoughtfully: "Although it is very rare, it seems like civilians can also become mages. We don't have one in Blue Rock City, but I heard that there is such a case in Green Pine City. And, Anna, if you want to be a respected person, besides becoming a mage, you can also become a priest."

"A priest? Like Father Louis?" Anna was moved in her heart and quickly asked.

There was some scattered vocabulary in the memory of the original body, which could not be combined into systematic knowledge. Vatican, pope, bishop, priest, pastor... She had these words in her mind, but she didn’t know what they referred to.

"If you are the body of the light most favored by the goddess, you can enter the church as an apprentice and then become a priest. Father Louis is also a priest, and our Blue Stone City church is presided over by him." Kelly said. Because she was a maid who had been working in the earl's estate for several years, she knew a lot of things that most common people didn’t know.

Abigail, who had originally mocked Anna's thoughts, went on to say: "If you have an affinity for the supernatural elements, then you can join the Mage Association to study. After becoming a one-star mage, you can become a baron."
