So, the demon wanted to take her to the line of life and death, probably to “please” her.
If he wanted to make a successful marriage proposal, he had to win her favor. If he wanted to gain her favor, of course, he had to satisfy her needs. What she lacked now was money. She guessed that the demon would not not know this fact. Only, in the past, she never accepted any money from him, so he could only go with the second best option, take her to kill demons and let her complete the task “herself” to earn money.
This plan of “saving the country through twisted means” was actually quite good. At least if she didn’t need to go through all the books on the list right now, she was actually willing to go.
The Grand Duke of The Abyss bringing her to harvest demonic creatures. Why would she miss out on such a good opportunity?
“Anna, do you want to say yes?” Natalie looked at Anna with bright eyes, her face was curious and solemn, as if she was asking if Anna should agree to marry him.
“Of course not. Have you forgotten how many books we have to read?” Anna gave Natalie a stern look.
If it weren’t for them being in the library, Natalie would want to curl up and scream. She would also like to go loop around the life and death line under the protection of a two-star mage. If Anna went with Mage Raymond, she would definitely take her with her!
Her hope of getting rid of the bitterness of studying was shattered. Natalie could only droop her head and start reading listlessly.
“I’m going to test you after reading it.”
Anna’s even words immediately got Natalie’s attention. She quickly forced herself to concentrate. Her eyes widened and she wanted to forcibly commit all the information to memory in her head.
Anna looked at Natalie’s appearance and shook her head helplessly. She touched Natalie’s head and whispered: “Every effort you make today is to escape that old man’s claws. Natalie, you can do it.”
Natalie did not look up. She felt warmth and strength above her head. She nodded vigorously; her heart was instantly filled with hope.
Yes, she could do it! Anna was helping her, she could definitely do it!
Before Anna immersed herself in study again, she folded the note and put it aside. She would throw it away after she finished reading.
Anyway, the demon didn’t know that she read the note, so she would just pretend that she hadn’t read it, and didn’t need to reply to him.
If he was waiting for her reply… then it was none of her business, he could wait until death!
Anna was very satisfied with her progress this afternoon. If it were the textbooks from college, it would certainly not be possible to read 10,000 pages in an afternoon, but the books on the book list were not thick, and some of them contained information that she had already known and remembered, so it went by very fast.
Natalie had also progressed in her studies. She had been drifting at the mage’s disciple level for many years. A lot of basic knowledge had actually become a long-term memory, which was hard to forget.
After Natalie completed the quiz, the two left the library.
As soon as they left the library, the two of them saw people walking in a hurry, while others were discussing with their peers. Everyone was moving the same direction. It seemed like something major had happened in the association.
Combat field.
After listening attentively, Anna said: “Let’s go and watch, too. Watching the actual combat will be beneficial for us.”
“Okay, okay!” Natalie, who was extremely excited after hearing the conversations of others, nodded quickly. She held onto Anna and ran.
From the mouth of the passing mage, Anna learned that a three-star mage named Hansen York had a scheduled combat fight with Raymond. The two had already gone to the combat field, and they were about to fight.
In this world, the level of the mage was determined by assessment, not some sudden change in the body, so a fight between two mages of different levels would not be unfair, like in a Xianxia world.
Of course, there was still a crushing difference between a mage’s disciple and a two or three-star mage.
Raymond, who was possessed by the demon, was a two-star mage already preparing for the three-star mage assessment. It wasn’t impossible for him to go against a three-star mage.
Anna knew that the demon could use the body’s abilities after possessing a person, but it seemed like he was restricted by the possessed person’s own ability, so she guessed that the demon’s current strength was suppressed to between two and three-stars.
In other words, if the three-star mage named Hansen York put in a bit of effort, she might have the chance to see the demon being violently beaten.
So, watching an actual combat between two mages and wanting to see the demon be violently beaten, the two thoughts were equal. Word of the combat between Raymond Bailedford and Hansen York had spread widely, but the daily number of mages in the Mage Association were not many, usually around fifty people. At this moment, almost half of the people had come, standing sparsely around the arena where the two were fighting in the combat field.
There were a total of five arenas in the combat arena. Different level mages used different arenas to compete with each other. There were many spell circuits nested around the arena. After the start of the competition, a mage would activate the spell circuit to prevent the fight spreading outside the arena.
Therefore, there was a charge for use of the arena in the combat field, two gold coins per game.
Anna and Natalie came just on time; both parties happened to be on the stage.
