Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 23.2

Holy Son in Danger (2)

A trial?

Anna remembered what Dubian had said. The pope would select from a temple of Holy Sons who had undergone trials. There were most likely more than one Holy Son, and only those who had completed the trial were eligible to be candidates for the pope.

So, that silver-haired Holy Son was very likely to become the pope in the future?

Anna vaguely understood the reason why the Holy Son chose to stay in the earl’s estate instead of the church.

The Goddess of Light was actually just a false title which could not control its believers. The factional struggle in the Vatican must be fierce. This Holy Son might’ve not belonged to the same faction as Father Louis, so it was for his own safety not to enter their territory.

"Is the Holy Son powerful?" Anna asked curiously.

Dubian said: "The Holy Sons usually come out for trials after becoming a three-star pastor. However, because the trials of the Holy Sons are during the same period and their level of abilities are different, it is impossible to determine the specific star priest he is."

Anna recalled the holy appearance of the silver-haired Holy Son. She felt that his appearance was so compelling; he must be at least a four-star priest, right?

Ordinary four-star mages couldn’t handle demons, but four-star priests, she thought, should have a pretty good chance.

However, at this moment, Anna was more worried about Dubian. She asked anxiously: "Will the Holy Son see that I have been in contact with a dark mage? Will there be any dark elements on my body?"

Dubian couldn't help but smile: "No, without a test, even if you are a pure dark elemental affinity, not even the pope can tell what your physique is. Mage often uses certain elements, which will leave a slight change in your body. These subtle changes can be observed by mages of the same practice. Because I am a pure dark mage, I usually can only use dark elements, and now that my mental power is weak, the dark elements in my body are out of control and appear, so even ordinary people can see that I am a dark mage. But as long as the Holy Son does not recognize me in person, he will not know that you are in contact with me."

It turned out that only the changes caused by the dark element could be seen, not the dark element itself.

When Dubian said this, Anna was relieved. She would have to hide from the Holy Son so as not to harm Dubian, otherwise.

For the dark mage Dubian, the consequences of being discovered by the Holy Son were much more severe than being discovered by the demon.

At most, the demon would possess Dubian's body to deceive her into giving up her soul. When he left Dubian's body, besides him losing the memory of being possessed during this period of time, he would be fine, just like Parrish had been. As for the Holy Son, he would definitely want to kill Dubian, the "fallen mage".

Although she had only spent three days with Dubian, Anna liked him very much. He was said to be a fallen mage, but he was not gloomy at all. If it weren't for the dark lines on his face, he would be just like the big brother next door, gentle and attentive.

Seeing that Anna was relieved, Dubian brought up what he said about meditation yesterday: "I tried it yesterday. The effect of lying down and meditating seems to be similar to sitting, but it is easy to fall asleep."

Anna heard that Dubian really tested out the question she had casually asked. She couldn't help but think it was a little funny. She smiled and said, "Oh, so it works like that. I sleep with my younger brothers and sisters. If I am in that pose, it would make them suspicious. If it’s okay to lie down, then I can meditate at home."

She hadn’t asked this question casually, okay? She had actual needs for it.

Dubian nodded understandingly: "I see. If you can’t sit while meditating, you can try to lie down. So shall we start today?"

It was the same routine. Dubian first helped Anna review what she had learned two days ago. Only after seeing that she had mastered it, did he continue to teach new material.

In the process of teaching, he realized that Anna had an amazing talent. She could memorize some complicated words only after he said them once. And some words with very similar pronunciations and meanings could be clearly distinguished by her.

Anna was a little embarrassed to see Dubian's surprised eyes, but she couldn't tell him that some of the words he taught her happened to be in the book of poems that the demon forced her to memorize. She had already memorized it several times and was long familiar with it.

Because Dubian taught a few more written terms this time, he wanted to reduce the total amount and give Anna enough time to digest, but she had learned faster than he thought, and in the end he still taught her nearly a hundred words.

Dubian said a bit emotionally: "Anna, I thought it would be difficult to get you to read and write the basics during my recovery period. I didn't expect your progress to be much faster than I thought. I believe that in terms of reading and writing, you will soon be on par with the nobles.”

"Really? Thank you, it’s all you who taught me well!" Anna was in a great mood when she heard Dubian praise herself so much.
