Why Are You Scaring Her (3)

She completed all the potion preparations at the mage’s disciples stage ahead of time, and she still had to continue to come to the potion lab to accompany Natalie. Dawkins’ task also would not take her too much time now, so she planned to study ahead.

After completing the preparation of the potion step by step, Anna had a deeper understanding of her own strength.

The potion that a one-star mage should master was not difficult for her, and the only thing that prevented her from completing all the potions at the one-star stage was money.

Many potions at the one-star mage stage could no longer be used by ordinary people. The raw materials were very expensive, and there were about 20 kinds of potions in total. If she prepared all of them, it would cost at least ten gold coins. How could she afford this kind of money!

Anna, who was already a rich person among the commoners but still poor among the mages, frowned in annoyance.

Even if she passed the promotion test to become a one-star mage and became a baroness, she would only get ten gold coins a year, which was a symbolic income for a mage. It could be spent in one day.

Thinking of the tasks on the task bar of the Association that rewarded dozens of gold coins, Anna couldn’t help clenching her fists. It seemed that if the money was going to come in quickly, she still had to go to the line of life and death to catch the demonic creatures. She would first tough it out; when she finally becomes a two-star mage, she would be able to complete the tasks alone. According to her progress, she would soon be able to take the two-star mage promotion assessment. During this period, the cost of helping Dawkins to make the extracts would be enough.

Anna was seriously planning for her future, but when she looked up, she found that the demon was still in the potion lab. He was even staring at her.

When their eyes met suddenly, Anna didn’t expect that the first person to look away would be herself.

She felt flustered for no reason, and took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat.

Yes, she almost forgot, her future still had an intervening demon, and it was difficult to say whether she could follow her predetermined track.

But it shouldn’t be a problem for her to become a two-star mage. It wouldn’t take long; she would definitely be able to do it before the demon’s patience ran out.

Anna continued the preparation of the second potion. She bought the raw materials for three potions today, spending around one gold coin. She was still in pain from it.

Rothgarr watched from the side, and suddenly said coldly: “It is better to use the gold element rather than all elements in the second half.”

Anna had been doing pretreatment and potion preparation for so long that she would no longer be frightened if someone made a noise during the process. Knowing the level of the demon, she practically changed all the elements to the gold element without even thinking.

The potion oscillated slightly, but because of Anna’s stable mental micro-manipulation, the transformation was quick, and it quickly recovered.

Ten minutes later, the potion called “Spine of Mountains and Rivers” was successfully prepared. After taking “Spine of Mountains and Rivers”, the mage could concentrate quickly, and the effect of meditation could be doubled.

The success of this potion was marked by a sudden change in color of the liquid to pale yellow, and a faint aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Anna picked up the bottle of potion, used her hand as a fan, and fanned the fragrance of the potion towards her. After a gentle sniff, a strong scent of lilies rushed straight to her brain.

Anna almost knocked over the potion.

What kind of scent was this! Where was the light sweet-scented osmanthus? Why was there such a strong lily scent?

Anna suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if she was a bit drunk. In her whole life, she had only gotten really drunk once, during her college graduation when she was both sad and happy at the same time. She had to be helped back by her roommate then. This feeling now was similar to how she felt at the time.

Anna used the last bit of her mental strength to place the potion on the experiment bench. This demonstrated her persistent love for money.

Then her legs went weak and she fell below the experiment bench.

“Anna!” Natalie was in the process of preparing, when she suddenly heard a thud. Her mental power was immediately chaotic, and the potion in her hand was rendered useless, but how could she care about this now. Seeing that Anna seemed to have passed out, Natalie hurried over to help her.

But someone was faster than her.

Rothgarr rushed to the experiment bench like the wind. He squatted down and brought Anna halfway in his arms to check her condition.

Except for the redness on her forehead when she hit her head on the way down, there was no other injury. At this time, her eyes were closed, and her expression was relatively stable. Just before she fell, she seemed to have just sniffed the potion that was just made.

“What’s wrong with Anna?” Natalie’s voice was full of panic.

Rothgarr didn’t answer her. He looked up at the potion on the test bench, and was about to reach for it when he was stopped by someone.

He lowered his head abruptly, and saw that Anna had opened her eyes, but her expression was a bit strange, as if she was in a dream, and there seemed to be a glint of water in those sky blue eyes.

She held his hand, pressed it lightly on her chest, tilted her head, smiled innocently and charmingly: “Do you want me?”

Rothgarr’s breathing stopped for a moment.
