Can’t Embarrass Him (1)

The longer he faced “Raymond”, the more fearful Hansen became. He was clearly a three-star mage, while Raymond was only a two-star mage. Why did the pressure he felt feel like he was facing a four-star or even a five-star mage? He only lost to Raymond once!

Hansen didn’t want to show weakness to Raymond, but his ruthlessness that seemed to want to tear him apart made Hansen unconsciously take a step back.

His one step back was like knocking down a line of dominos, because what followed was a second step, then a third step… Hansen turned around and ran. The people who came with him were all ordinary servants of his family. When they saw him running away, they also scurried after him one by one.

Anna was relieved to see Hansen run away, but she did not let go of the demon immediately. Hansen hadn’t run far enough, the demon could catch up at any time!

After Hansen got away and he was calm, she also had to give him a run down of the pros and cons so that he would give up the idea of chasing down Hansen.

Just thinking about it, Anna felt that this matter was torture, but she heard a suppressed voice from the demon sound in her ear: “Let go.”

Anna subconsciously hugged him tighter and said, “You can’t kill him!”

Rothgarr took a deep breath and almost gritted his teeth, “I’m not going to kill him!”

Liar!

Anna’s first reaction was that the demon only said this to trick her into letting go, otherwise why would he not look at her when he spoke, instead staring at the direction in which Hansen escaped to?

Therefore, Anna didn’t have any intention to let go of the demon at all. She even thought about hanging herself on him to stop him from moving.

“If you kill him, I’ll be implicated too… let’s just let him go for now, okay?” Anna was afraid that the demon would get impatient and break free of her regardless. She spoke quickly, “Look, he was scared of you just now. Wouldn’t it be fun to let him frighten himself?”

Rothgarr felt like he was going to go crazy.

Obviously he had already said he would not kill Hansen, but instead of letting go of him, Anna still whispered her pleas in his ear… There was no doubt, this coincided with the images in his dream.

He deeply hated how he had such a good memory, and remembered all the moments in the dream, to the point that he couldn’t escape the embarrassment and awkwardness that the dream gave him at this moment.

“Anna, let go.”

Rothgarr tried not to think about the dream that had tormented him all night last night. There was no warmth in his voice.

Anna was acutely aware of the danger in his voice and released him suddenly.

Rothgarr strode away without pausing.

Anna was slightly relieved to see that he was not going in the direction Hansen fled to just now.

It wasn’t until now that she felt that the demon’s behavior seemed a bit off. She knew that what happened yesterday should have made the demon a little unhappy, but the killing intent when he faced Hansen just now was too strong, right? Did something happen that she didn’t know about? Or is it purely the demon’s own fault?

Anna couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore, as long as the demon didn’t kill Hansen now.

She went to Natalie, who was watching with wide eyes, and the two went to the cafeteria to eat together.

Anna thought that the demon’s weird behavior would get better soon, but she didn’t see him at all in the following week.

She was really worried at first that the demon secretly did something bad, but after everything blew over, Hansen didn’t come to make trouble, and she didn’t hear that he was killed, so she was relieved. She felt that the days without the demon by her side were really comfortable. It would be best if he didn’t show up ever again.

In the past week, Anna had prepared all twenty kinds of elementary potions without encountering any problems. She even took the time to make more than 100 copies of vine grass extract for Dawkins.

With Anna’s assistance, Dawkins’s “Aria of Light” was developed very smoothly, and he finally came up with a finished product that achieved his desired effect. One potion of “Aria of Light” could instantly restore the exhausted mental power of a two-star mage. It was also effective for three-star mages, able to recover around thirty percent of their mental power. Of course, the side effects were also obvious. It took more time to sort out and restore all the mental power afterwards, and this potion was only effective for about five days from the completion of production before it began to deteriorate.

However, near the line of life and death, this kind of potion that could instantly restore mental power made the difference between life and death. Even if it took fifteen gold coins, after people heard that Dawkins made this potion, there were quite a lot of people who ordered from him.

Fifteen gold coins could buy a life, how could a mage who needed to go to the line of life and death not get one? Anna heard from Teresa that an average of one mage died or disappeared at the line of life and death every year, and every year, no one wanted to be the “death quota”.

Anna knew that Dawkins spent five or six gold coins for each copy of “Aria of Light”, and selling it for fifteen gold coins was an enviable profit margin. But thinking of all the gold coins Dawkins spent in the previous two years, Anna felt less envious.
