Anna Wants To Make Money (2)

Anna was a very reasonable person. If it wasn’t her money, she didn’t feel right taking the initiative to ask for it. When she thought about the appearance of the demon covered head to toe in blood yesterday, she felt that this box was rightfully his compensation.

She quickly adjusted her mentality and thought about which tasks to do to start earning her first pot of gold. Her current balance was only a few dozen silver coins, and she couldn’t do tasks that required a lot of early investment, such as most potion preparation and concoction tasks. But at present, she didn’t have the ability to do the quests that involved retrieving potion materials by fighting demonic creatures. She could only cling tightly to the thigh of the demon, but his mental power was damaged now, and he might not be able to recover fully enough to take her to the line of life and death until the promotion assessment.

Of course Rothgarr knew that Anna was short of money, and he also saw the somewhat reluctant look in Anna’s eyes when she handed over the box. He was tempted for a moment to give her the box, but once he realized that in doing so, she would no longer be short of money and would no longer need him to take her to the line of life and death to fight for potion ingredients to earn quest rewards, he changed his mind.

It would be best if Anna had no money forever.

When the three of them walked over to the service desk, Rothgarr casually handed the box to Teresa for her to watch over it. Then, he followed Anna and Natalie to the cafeteria to eat.

Rothgarr was now more and more reluctant to leave this body. In the past, things had never gone as smooth as this time. Otherwise, he would have left this body long ago and went to kill Hansen directly. Even if he caught Hansen and tortured him in front of the entire York family, what could they do to him?

But he really was reluctant to part with the good feelings he got from Anna as Raymond.

While eating in the cafeteria, Natalie couldn’t help but quietly pay attention to Mage “Raymond”. She couldn’t help but secretly be surprised when she saw that he was eating the food of the commoners without any disgust.

Even she had to go through a psychological struggle to eat in the cafeteria at first; mage Raymond was really admirable!

Anna treated this matter with indifference.

Perhaps it was because the demon was not a human being. He knew about the different classes in the human world, but didn’t care. She had seen him eat in different bodies, and really did eat what he was given. He wasn’t picky at all, and very easy to feed.

After the three of them had lunch, Anna planned to go make money. She gave Natalie the task of mastering spells in the meditation room, and sent off the demon on the Raymond family’s carriage to go home. Of course, she did not forget to pick up the box he kept at the service desk.

“Raymond, you should look at your face, it’s paler than paper.” Anna tried to persuade the demon, who seemed like he would faint at any moment, to get into the carriage and go home. “If your condition worsens because of me, I would be very uneasy. Please quickly go back to rest. You must recover your health before you can take me to the line of life and death.”

Rothgarr thought this made sense. If he pushed through, the weak body of this human would only get worse and worse. He really needed to rest now.

Satisfied with today’s progress, Rothgarr nodded to Anna and said goodbye, “See you tomorrow.”

Seeing that the carriage the demon was riding in was gone in the distance, Anna went back to the Association’s office to confirm the tasks on the task bulletin again.

She wrote down the long-term task of preprocessing a certain plant posted by a two-star mage, and asked Teresa: “Is that Mage Dawkins still long term collecting the pretreated extract of wisteria?”

Teresa, the Mage Association know-it-all, said with a smile: “Yes, this long-term task has been posted for two years, and Mage Dawkins still asks me every week if anyone took up the task. He always complains to me that every time he experiments with the new potions, he uses at least fifty parts of the extract, and it takes him five full days to prepare it. He is very distressed.”

As she said this, she winked at Anna playfully: “Mage Anna, don’t think that the remuneration that Mage Dawkins gives is small. In fact, he is a very kind and generous person, but his funds are limited.”

Anna smiled. It seemed like this was a very reliable task to earn her first pot of gold.

“When was the last time Mage Dawkins came to complain?” Anna asked. She planned to practice preparing the extract by herself first. If she succeeded and the effect was good and the efficiency was high enough, she would then contact Master Dawkins and talk to him face to face.

Teresa said knowingly: “He comes to me every Saturday at noon, after he uses up all the extracts he makes for five days and nights and has to stop his experiments with the new potions.”

Anna saw that today was Friday. She would try to confirm her abilities this afternoon, and then she could wait here tomorrow.

Teresa suddenly looked to Anna’s side and smiled, “Mage Leon, you’re back?”

Anna turned her head and saw Leon holding a piece of paper in his hand, which he handed to Teresa. “En. Please help me register, and ask Mage Samuel to come find me. In addition, is there a new introductory course for the Association recently?”

“No new members have joined recently, Mage Leon.” Teresa took the task list, registered it skillfully, and said, “Mage Samuel should be coming to the Association this afternoon. Should I still tell him that you are in the meditation room?”

“En, the meditation room on the first floor.” Leon said.

After Teresa finished registering, Leon looked at Anna and smiled: “Anna.”

Anna was a little happy to see Leon. He rescued them yesterday. Judging from his disheveled appearance, he must have just returned from the line of life and death.

“Mage Leon, it’s great that you can come back safely, too.” Anna smiled.

Leon smiled: “I accidentally overheard your conversation just now, I apologize. If you want to pretreat wisteria, I know a little trick that can improve the efficiency. You need to first use the fire element to burn its outer skin, and then use the water element to process it. This can reduce the extraction time.”

Anna’s eyes lit up and she replied gratefully: “Thank you very much, I will try it!” She said a little embarrassedly, “I have reported the matter yesterday to the affairs department, and the York family has made compensation. Later, the affairs department might also ask you to verify some information, I am very sorry to have caused you trouble.”

“You don’t have to be so polite, it was my pleasure.” Leon smiled, “As long as you…you all are fine.”

Anna then asked Leon some academic questions before leaving without a word.
