She remembered that when she first saw this demon, she was shivering with fright. She was really so close to passing out. Later, the more she saw him, the less she feared him. At the same time, she became more and more daring to even go up against him.
And now, she even dared to scheme against him like this.
The danger of her soul being harvested had been hanging over her head. This was the part she could not change, but she could control what she could change. The way she interacted with the demon, the method of using the demon... He still didn’t know that she knew it has always been him all along; this was her greatest advantage. She definitely would never let him know this.
After riding in the bumpy carriage for several hours, they arrived in Black Cloud City. Anna woke up the demon, and the carriage returned them to the door of the association.
The sky was dark at this time, but Anna thought that the mage had almost killed them today, and this matter could not wait till tomorrow to be reported.
"Who was the one who harmed us?" Anna asked the demon.
"Hanson York." Rothgarr said with a sneer. "You don't have to report to the association, I will make him pay."
As soon as Rothgarr's voice fell, Anna suddenly grabbed his hand. He was taken aback. He moved his hand uncomfortably, but couldn’t break away, so he looked at Anna.
Anna said sincerely and worriedly: "I think it's better to report this matter to the association, otherwise it may turn into a battle between your family clans."
Anna looked like she was worrying about the demon, but in fact she was thinking, this demon better not cause her anymore problems! If he went to teach Hansen York a lesson and accidentally killed the other party and caused a big incident, she would definitely be implicated...Last time she was implicated, she had to flee from Blue Rock City, and now finally she had a foothold here and could learn magic; she didn’t want to be a refugee anymore!
Rothgarr frowned. Before was an emergency, otherwise that Hansen would have been killed by him long ago.
But since this was nna's request, and his goal was to make her fall in love with him and agree to his marriage proposal, why not make her happy?
He would let that Hansen hop around for a few more days. It wouldn’t be too late to kill him on a later date.
"Okay, but if the association doesn't deal with Hansen, I will." Rothgarr said.
"En, thank you!" Anna opened the carriage door happily, "You go home and rest. Natalie and I can report it to the association."
When Anna got out of the carriage, the carriage suddenly seemed much empty.
Obviously Anna was not usually a noisy person, but with her there, it seemed that the carriage was also a little more lively.
Rothgarr stared at the carriage door for a while. He knocked on the wall of the carriage, which signaled the carriage driver to leave.
Anna and Natalie entered the Mage Association together. First, they found Teresa to ask her where to report a situation like this, and then simply wrote a report and handed it to the Affairs Department on the third floor.
What happened today was a relatively serious incident, and it involved “Raymond,” one of the more important members of the Association. The staff of the Affairs Department did not dare to neglect this matter. He hurriedly brought the report inside, and then a middle aged man came out. He politely asked Anna and Natalie to come in and explain the details.
Anna saw that the badge on his chest indicated that he was a three-star mage, so she didn't dare to dilly dally. She and Natalie honestly recounted the events.
The three-star mage was listening while taking notes, occasionally interrupting them to ask more detailed questions, and quickly wrote a bunch of things.
Finally, he said: "I more or less understand everything, don't worry, the Association will uphold justice for you."
"Thank you very much." Anna and Natalie thanked him and then left. As for what he said, she believed it. If it was just her, then maybe it was just a courtesy statement. After all, she was just a mage’s disciple. She wasn’t even a noble. But right now, the people involved included Natalie, the daughter of a baron, and Raymond, a talented mage and son of a viscount. It was impossible for the Association to ignore this matter.
By the time the two of them left the Association, it was dark. Natalie wanted to send Anna back, but Anna refused. She lived near here, and wanted to walk back. She could also take the opportunity to think about a follow-up way of getting along with the demon that they "agreed" upon today, such as if there were any hidden dangers. She could still adjust the plan before they officially began.
Black Cloud City was much larger than Blue Stone City, and some night entertainment venues were still very popular after nightfall. Anna would pass by them on the way home, but because of the badge on her chest, even if she looked just a delicate little girl, no one dared to provoke her.
When she returned to her residence, Anna was about to go up to her attic using the flight of stairs on the side when she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be movement underneath the stairs.
She took a small step back vigilantly. Could it be Hansen here to kill her to keep her mouth shut? Thinking so, she used the exploration technique.
In her perception, there was a person hidden in the dark shadow under the stairs, but that person seemed to be lying down, with a very weak sense of existence.
Anna thought for a while. She conjured up a light spell in her hand, and finally saw the person hiding under the stairs clearly.
The teenager was perhaps around thirteen or fourteen years old, with short tousled black hair. His eyes were tightly shut, and his body seemed to be curled up in pain. The most striking thing was the dark lines on his face that Anna felt looked familiar.
