Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times

What Anna thought before was that since there was no way to escape the fate of being asleep, she would exchange some benefits by the way. If Rothgar refused, in fact, she had nothing to do.

And this idea is based on Rotgar "like" her. The so-called liking has a time effect, not necessarily the only one, he can like her right now, tolerate her in every possible way, and in the next second he can like others and show no mercy to her.

So she never thought that Rothgar would enter into a soul contract with her, and when this happened, she was stunned.

See what the **** he is talking about? Does he think she would believe this excuse?

Anna now wants to cry a little, and some want to laugh.

In the end, she secretly pulled over the quilt on the side and covered herself.

If she just didn't have to take what she needed after retreating, she would feel a little better. Now Rotgar suddenly signed a soul contract with her, she caught him off guard and understood his true feelings, as if she couldn't let things go on like that. Up.

That is not fair to Rotgar.

But she is indeed not in the mood to talk about love at the moment, knowing that Natalie died unjustly, how could she be able to talk to Rotgar?

Rothgar saw Anna's small movements and understood that she had changed her mind.

He gently pulled the quilt, and Anna, who was clutching the quilt tightly, screamed and fell to him. He even hugged her with the quilt and said coldly: "Go to sleep. From tomorrow, you will understand the need to become strong. What a price to pay."

…So, is the price not including her body?

Anna didn't expect Rothgar to let her go like this, and felt relieved for a while, but then she felt that she owed him again.

Rothgar has never been a good person in her heart. At first, the confrontation between them was based on life and death. They were entangled for so long. She didn't know when she fell in love with him, just because she knew the devil. Will not fall in love with human beings and never dare to let go of their feelings.

Now, she finally knew that demons would fall in love with humans, and that Rothgar liked her and even loved her. She should have accepted this happily, letting go of her depression and responding to his feelings, but she But I learned about Natalie's death...

Maybe Natalie's matter is over before she can face him calmly.

In fact, Anna couldn't completely clarify who should be the target of her revenge in Natalie's death.

After all, it was her own fault that was the biggest.

If she knew she was being stared at by the devil at first, don't make friends, and don't let Natalie be involved in her mess, Natalie may be forced to marry an old man, but at least she is still alive.

Even if she still made friends with Natalie, if she didn't provoke Magnolia, maybe she wouldn't be caught for sacrifice at all, and Natalie would not die.

Or, if she didn’t take in Ep, Ep would just die somewhere, and he wouldn’t suddenly transform into a demon and slaughter him. Then Rotgar would be enough to get him from the Magnolia family. Save her and Natalie.

But in fact, it doesn't make sense to say that. People cannot predict the future. As social animals, it is impossible for people to exist alone without their social relations. If she all walks the other way, that person will not be her. Failure in the result does not mean that the decision is wrong.

Anna has many theories and reasons in her mind to justify herself, but at this time reason can't defeat emotion, and her reason clearly recognizes this.

No matter how she convinced herself, she still felt deeply guilty, coerced by such terrible hypothetical sentences as "If I were...it would be fine."

There are so many "ifs" in her mind, as long as one comes true, Natalie will not die.

But Natalie was still dead.

So while she was soberly aware that she could not be blamed for this, she was also a victim strictly speaking, and at the same time she was overwhelmed by overwhelming self-blame.

So besides herself, who can she blame?

It seems that everyone played a large or small role in Natalie's death.

If Natalie's family did not force her to marry, Natalie would not have followed her in order to pass the promotion assessment, so that their relationship gradually became close and eventually caught in a whirlpool.

If Rotgar hadn't been staring at her and chasing her, she might not have come to Black Cloud City to get to know Natalie, let alone anything else.

If Magnolia didn't treat her as an imaginary enemy, don't catch her and Natalie, Natalie would not be in the scene of Ep's transformation into a demon.

If Aipu doesn't come to Black Cloud City, don't fall at her door, there will be no subsequent transformation and murder.

if…

There are too many people to blame, and many of them are actually unreasonable. She understands the non-causality.

Even Rothgar, who deliberately concealed the news of Natalie's death, was only angry at first, and after calming down, it became clear that there was no need.

But her guilt needs an outlet.

If she did nothing, she would feel sorry for Natalie and could not go on.

Therefore, she needs strong power to take revenge, and the target of the revenge is the Magnolia group who captured her and Natalie and Epp who actually killed Natalie...No, Epp is no longer there. , The one who is alive now is the demon Aosta, and has no friendship with her. She vaguely remembered that Magnolia and her group were almost slaughtered by Aosta at that time, maybe there were not many people left, and those people did not need her to have too much strength.

Facing the demon Aosta, she needed strength far beyond her current strength, and she needed Rothgar's help.

After having a definite goal, Anna's heart was set.

One reason for gaining strong power is for revenge, and the other reason is that she hopes that in the future she will have enough power to protect all the people she cares about.

She couldn't rely on anything, only the power she held in her hands made her feel at ease.

Rothgar hugged Anna tightly, so he could clearly feel the stiffness of her body gradually soften.

He saw her slowly closing her eyes, and his expression seemed relieved.

He just pulled it casually just now, the quilt was not tightly covered, as long as the line of sight was deflected, she could see her round and white shoulders and a more seductive and deep arc.

At this moment, he didn't cut back on her Gu Xiaowang a little bit. If Anna took the initiative to pounce on just now, he would definitely not let her go.

But after seeing her small movements covering her body, he withdrew his previous thoughts.

He knew that Anna and Natalie had a very good relationship, and he knew how emotional Anna would collapse after he suddenly learned of Natalie's death.

His dignified Grand Duke Abyss would naturally not take advantage of her at this time, he waited for her to surrender willingly under him.

Rothgar picked up a long, still damp, brown-red hair and wrapped it around his index finger boredly, then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he closed his eyes to accompany her to sleep.

If she wants strong power, he will help her, and he will ask for the reward she promised later, and interest will be added at that time.

Anna’s dream this night was a bit chaotic. For a while, it was the scene when she was studying with Natalie when she was still in Black Cloud City, and the other was the dim underground altar. Natalie fought with her in the face of a demon that was too powerful to defeat. , Finally died in her arms, in that bizarre dreamland, she even saw Natalie wear into her world and become a female president with little meat...

When Anna opened her eyes, she was a little dazed, for a moment she couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

She glanced to the side, Rotgar closed his eyes and hugged her tightly.

She just wanted to sit up, her scalp suddenly tightened, she could only half-support her body, and saw that her long hair was held in her hand by Rotgar, and it was still wrapped around her fingers. If she had the strength to get up Bigger, this whole bunch of hair might be squeezed down.

Anna pulled her hair and said, "Let go."

She knew that Rothgar was awake, or that he didn't need much sleep.

Rothgar opened his eyes, and the five fingers of the hand that wrapped Anna’s hair spread out, as if to take a look in front of him, then he held Anna’s back of the head, slightly force, pulled her to the front, and kissed her lips. . After a while, feeling uncomfortable again, he rolled over and pressed her under him.

He just charged some interest first.

After Rothgar let go of Anna, her cheeks were slightly flushed due to a physiological reaction, but she heard him say: "I was injured yesterday, you should heal me first."

Anna looked at Rothgar and suffocated for a while: "I'll put on my clothes first, so please turn around."

She didn't wear any clothes when she came out of the bathroom yesterday, and the nightgown was still in it.

Rothgar looked at her for a long time, his eyes were subtle. After all, he has seen it and touched it.

But seeing Anna's uncompromising appearance, although he didn't turn around, he closed his eyes.

Anna knew that Rothgar was very cooperative, jumped out of bed and went into the bathroom. After putting on her nightdress, she went back to her room, put on a riding outfit that was easy to move, and returned to Rothgar. At this moment, he is standing neatly in front of the window in his room.

Anna walked over and stood still behind him and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

Rothgar turned around and let Anna look at the wound.

Anna didn't talk nonsense, and used the Holy Healing skill skillfully. Rothgar didn't ask about her escape, and since he didn't ask, she didn't take the initiative to bring it up.

After Rotgar had healed all kinds of skin injuries, he took Anna's hand and took her downstairs to the door of the study.

Rotgar walked around after entering the study, and chose a dozen books and returned to Anna: "Read these first."

Anna quickly grabbed all the books and said, "Okay."

When she picked up the first book it looked like, Rothgar turned and left.

When Anna turned her head, she only saw Rothgar's back disappearing in the doorway. After a while, she saw Rothgar's back in the distance outside the window.

He left her alone in the castle, he really believed that she wouldn't run away halfway.

Of course she does not run.

Anna continued to look down at the book. After going through the dozens of books, Anna found that they were all books related to meditation and spells.

The level of the mage is determined artificially, and the level is determined through manual assessment. In fact, there is no precise boundary between one star and two stars, or between two stars and three stars. Among these books by Rothgar, the older the book, the less it would mention the level of several stars. There was no level at that time. If two mages met, I really didn’t know who was more if they met without a fight. Great.

In these ancient books, there are many ways to improve the efficiency of meditation and the effect of spells. Some have been modified more and the effect is relatively small, and some have been modified but the effect is very good.

Anna didn't try it right away, but planned to finish reading these books.

After a while, Anna heard some noise. Looking through the window of the study, she saw some smoke and dust all the way from far to near. When she got closer, she found that it was gray and white.

Looking at the sky again, Rothgar went over the front of the castle and landed on the side terrace that she could not see.

When Anna persuaded them to leave, she was mentally prepared to never see them again. She didn't expect to see them again, and so soon.

Rothgar was naturally for her, and he specially found them to take care of her daily life.

Anna didn't go down to look at them immediately, she resumed reading after she retracted her gaze. She had never been so serious in her life, more serious than when she was preparing for the exam at the Mage Association before, and she didn't even care when Rothgar came in.

After closing the fourth book that had been read, Anna looked at Rotgar and asked: "Assuming that the combat power of a one-star wizard is equivalent to ten, what is the combat power of the other levels? How much do you count? "

Rothgar has never used Anna’s calculation method. After thinking about it, he said: "If a wizard is equivalent to ten, the apprentice of a wizard is five, two-star is twenty, three-star is forty, four-star is eighty, and five-star. It's one hundred and six. Mine... counts as three hundred."

Anna nodded, Rotgar's estimate of the mage's combat effectiveness was similar to her usual feeling, and the combat effectiveness gap at each level was almost doubled. Before he was possessed by Raymond, who was only a two-star fast-rising three-star, he could defeat the three-star mage.

Her current combat power can be counted as forty, and the devil is three hundred, the gap between them is desperate.

But the value is only a rough estimate after all, if there are other ways...

Anna asked again: "In addition to saving my life, does the soul contract have other benefits? For example, you can share your strength with me..."

Rothgar sneered and said, "What good things do you think?"

Anna was just asking casually. It was true that she had never thought of such a good thing. She didn't get angry when she heard Rotgar's sarcasm. She picked up the next book and turned two pages. Then she looked at him and asked, "Balan is very I said earlier that you all climbed up from the abyss...what kind of place is the abyss?"

"Do you really want to know?" Rotgar raised his eyebrows.

Anna nodded: "If I can say anything, I really want to know."

"I'll take you to see it in two days." Rotgar smiled, with the meaning of watching a good show.

Anna responded immediately: "Okay!"

She felt Rothgar's bad intentions, but he couldn't kill her anyway, so why not take a risk and look at the abyss?

She then said again: "The gift and curse of the abyss...may I ask too?"

Originally this was a secret belonging to the devil. Even if it was between Rothgar and Balan, there would be nothing to talk about, but Anna was in a special situation. Whether it was his gift or curse, he had personally experienced it and survived.

Rothgar doesn’t have much to hide from Anna now, and he doesn’t wait for Anna to ask questions one by one: “The gift of the abyss gifted me is possessed. As for the curse...on the day of the attack, he will recognize the first person he sees as the master. ."

Anna remembered the way Rotgar called her master while kissing her instep that day, and asked more: "How many episodes have you had so far?"

Rothgar stared at her with a sneer: "You want to ask me, how many times have you experienced such a humiliating thing?"

Anna shook her head: "No."

Rothgar approached her and looked down at her: "Besides you, there is another time. That time... I self-mutilated the power to resist the curse, and Balan helped me kill that person. You are the only one who has ever seen my curse happen. People who survived."

Rothgar was too close, and Anna was breathing slightly. She didn't expect to have the answer to the question in her heart. It turned out that it was really because that person was her, so he was easily controlled by the Curse of the Abyss and bowed his head to her. But this answer doesn't matter now after he signed the soul contract with her.

His words were almost confession, and Anna was silent for a moment and said: "There is also Balaam."

Rothgar frowned: "What?"

"Balan has also seen your curse and survived." Anna said.

Rothgar stared at Anna for a few seconds and said, "You want to provoke me to kill Balan?"

Anna: "...I don't want to." She just wanted to change the subject.

She picked up the book and poked Rotgar in the chest, beckoning him to step back.

Rothgar really retreated.

Anna flipped through two pages of the book and asked casually: "What gifts and curses are other demons, do you know?"

She had seen Balan's curse with her own eyes, but the gift was still unclear. As for Ep...no, it's Aosta, the curse should be related to how he turned into Ep.

Rothgar did not hide it either: "You have already seen Balan's curse. The gift of his gift is chaos."

"Chaos? What kind of ability is that?"

He sneered: "With your current strength, once he uses it on you, you will become demented."

Anna was taken aback: "Permanent?"

"Only when he uses it."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be too scary. But this was not what she really wanted to ask, so she asked again: "What about the other three Great Duke of the Abyss?"

"Aosta, Grand Duke of Foerly, Aqui, Grand Duke of Grider, and Pele, Grand Duke of Slagard." Rothgar said, "The last two are not clear. Aosta’s curse is that it will become a human being. All strength is lost."

Rothgar first guessed that Aosta would enter a period of weakness during the onset of the Curse of the Abyss, but after listening to Anna’s description, he revised his guess and believed that Aosta would become a human during the onset of the curse. Therefore, he can only hide in the human world and wait for the curse to end. In the human world, there will be a city massacre almost every 100 years or so. He thinks that Aosta did it, and Aosta will fall into a violent state when he recovers from a human being to a demon.

"Oh? How often does the Curse of the Abyss usually occur?" Anna heard the full description of Aosta's Curse of the Abyss, and couldn't help but ask again.

"It's a hundred years." Rotgar replied casually. In addition to Balan, his own curses also occur from time to time. The time interval is about a hundred years. Aosta wants to come to him about the same time. Not much difference.

One hundred years...too long, she can't wait.

Moreover, if Aosta becomes like Eppe again, it would be easy for her to kill him, but she might not be able to do it.

Seeing that Rothgar seemed to be suspicious, Anna quickly said: "Then next time your Curse of the Abyss recurs, I will help you watch not to let others approach you."

She just told Rothgar that she wanted to have his power, but she didn't say what she wanted to do with that power. She didn't know if he had guessed, she hoped he would not guess.

It is her job to avenge Natalie. She can improve her strength under his training, but she can't directly borrow his power to deal with Aosta.

Some things must be done by her hands to make sense.

Rothgar raised his eyebrows: "Next time?"

The hidden meaning of Anna's words made him feel comfortable, and before Anna wondered what he meant, he looked at her and smiled, "Okay."

The timing of the curse of the abyss is uncertain. She wants to do what she promised and must stay with him for at least a hundred years.

Anna was slightly taken aback, Rotgar laughed so happily like this, she rarely saw it.

She quickly retracted her gaze and stared at the page in her hand.

The next time it will be more than a hundred years later, she should still be there, right?

She took a deep breath, not thinking about what happened so far away for the time being.

Seeing Anna began to be immersed in the book world again, Rotgar only said: "Ask me any questions you have."

"Okay." Anna replied.

Then she remembered the threatening "Remember" question that Rothgar had used when he was her teacher when he was possessed by Ulysses. It seemed to have happened in the previous life.

Now, Rotgar has also learned how to be a real teacher? Or is this a special treatment that belongs to her alone?

Anna was suspicious, and when she saw the book, she really had questions and asked Rotgar. After he answered as seriously as a teacher, she felt relieved.

He really learned how to be a good teacher.

Anna was surrounded by hunger after reading another book.

Except for a faintly different feeling, knowing that Rothgar had indeed signed a soul contract with her, there was no change in her body. And that difference is a very mysterious feeling. It is difficult for her to describe it in words. What she insists to say is probably because she was originally lonely and helpless in this world. It seems that she suddenly has a connection that she can't grasp. She vaguely She felt that no matter whether she went to the desert or the ice field, someone would always accompany her, she could not see or touch, but she knew that the other person was always there.

And other things...such as lifespan growth or something, she will definitely not be able to see it in a short time, she will still metabolize like normal humans, will feel hungry, will want to go to the toilet.

As she walked downstairs to the kitchen, Anna and Rotgar walked side by side, and she suddenly asked, "What if you regret it? Will you kill me or let me go?"

Anna's question is unknown, but Rotgar knows what she is asking.

The options that followed her made him very unhappy. Why did he kill her? Why let her go?

"I won't regret it." Rotgar said coldly, staring straight ahead, then turned his head to warn her, "Anna, you'd better not do things that you regret."
