Mages Make Quick Money (1)

Rothgarr had intended to walk away, but after seeing Anna coming over from the corner of his eye, he still slowed down unconsciously.

She wore a red riding attire, which hugged her exquisite body lines, and the scene of her hurriedly running towards him was inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Anna ran to the demon quickly. She noticed that his body was still facing forward, and only his head was turned slightly in her direction. She couldn’t help but complain in her heart: Obviously, he had gone to the meditation room No. 1 to look for her, and even acted as the “hero that saves the beauty”. Now he was showing an upright appearance of “I don’t want to pay attention to you”. Like hell would she believe him.

“Thank you very much for your help just now; otherwise I wouldn’t know to what degree they would bully me. I am new here, I really don’t know how to deal with them.” Anna casually placed the blame on the two girls. With a sincere expression, she continued “Thank you very much, can I know your name? If I can help you in the future, I will not shirk it.”

The two girls who took the blame: What did we do? We haven’t done anything yet!

Rothgarr felt very comfortable seeing  Anna’s gratitude, but he felt that Anna was not a person who would let herself be bullied. There were too many exaggerations in her words.

It could be seen that she deliberately said this to approach him and get on his good side…..Wait, Anna only had spells in her heart, so why would she show interest in a man?

According to his original plan, it would take a long time to slowly get rid of Anna’s suspicions and slowly walk into her life, so that when she had a good impression of him, he could smoothly propose marriage and complete the bet.

But just now, he only started to act and Anna had come running over. No matter how he thought about it, something seemed off.

Rothgarr, who was still full of confidence in himself just moments before, had some doubts about his initial judgment after taking in Anna’s actions.

He suddenly remembered that Anna didn’t have enough gold coins, and learning spells required a lot of gold coins. Could it be that she wanted to get financial help from this Raymond?

But ……

After some thought, Rothgarr decided to stick to his original plan.

According to his past experience, Anna had always rejected the men who took the first initiative to approach her. She was taking the initiative now to come over to thank him, seemingly approaching him on purpose, but he felt that if he really responded accordingly, this body would become useless.

There was no better body in this association, and he doesn’t want to change yet.

Therefore, facing Anna’s ardent gaze, Rothgarr said indifferently, “No need.”

Then he stepped away without hesitation.

If it weren’t for her eyes that could see the demon in Raymond’s body, and it was still that old demon, Anna almost thought she had made a mistake.

Wasn’t this demon always chasing her to propose marriage? Why did his behavior suddenly change?

Anna was still debating on whether her “special treatment” towards the demon was conveyed perfectly when she heard the ridicule of the two girls.

The tall girl said: “Raymond was just passing by. Does some people really think he deliberately lent a hand?”

“That’s right! To have no beauty, no identity, and no talent…. I don’t know how some people have such a thick-skinned face, even wanting to rely on others. Truly someone with no knowledge of their self-worth!” The other, slightly shorter girl echoed. There was a sardonic smile on her face.

Anna didn’t feel anything at all, she didn’t take this kind of cynicism that didn’t even dare to name her to heart at all, okay?

She was going to become a five-star mage. As for this kind of little girl, she would be able to leave them far behind after passing a few upgrade assessments.

But Natalie didn’t think so. She felt that these two people were troubling Anna because of her. Now that they saw Raymond had left, they were still laughing at Anna. She couldn’t help raising her voice: “After Raymond left, did you already forget what he said?”

Because of Raymond’s extremely indifferent attitude towards Anna, Natalie didn’t think that Raymond had saved Anna on purpose, but this did not prevent her from using Raymond to suppress others.

The two girls looked at each other, and Raymond’s cold voice echoed in their minds.

Although he was really indifferent to this commoner, it was also true that he prevented them from making trouble before… The Raymond family’s title was higher than theirs, and his own mage level was also higher than theirs, and he had never understood how to pity and cherish jade.* If they really angered him, who knew what he would do?

[T/N: to pity and cherish the jade means to treat women with care.]

“You just.…..”

The tall girl wanted to say some tough words; who knew that she had just started to speak when Anna smiled: “Out of the mouth comes evil; you guys really don’t intend to curb it?”

The tall girl was stunned, and glared at Anna angrily. Nevertheless, she was still scrupulous and could only pull her companion with her and retreated.

Natalie walked to Anna and said guiltily: “Anna, it’s all my fault that they would come to you to make trouble.”

“It has nothing to do with you. They are probably jealous of my talent, so they want to suppress me in advance, and ‘strangle me in the cradle’.” Anna casually said some nonsense, “Don’t worry, a true genius cannot be suppressed.”

Natalie stared at Anna in surprise. She trusted Anna inexplicably, but calling oneself a true genius…
