Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times
Chapter 41: Apprentice mage
Anna realized that she had reacted too much after closing the door.
The main reason was that she had seen the demon possessed by another person downstairs before, but she didn't expect him to change the person immediately, which was really unprepared.
Anna thought for a while, first walked in another direction, then walked back, knocked on the door again, and opened the door after receiving the consent of the person inside, with an apologetic smile on her face: "I'm very sorry, I thought I was Go wrong."
Although Anna's reason was a bit strange, her expression was impeccable, and without knowing the truth, how could Rothgarh guess for no reason that Anna was so scared to shrink from finding him here?
He didn't even care about this little episode, and waited for Anna to walk over slightly restrained.
Rothgar has not yet selected the next person to possess close to Anna, and he does not want to miss too much about Anna. Therefore, after obtaining the process of testing the affinity of natural elements from the memory of the previous possessed staff, he attached it. I'm on the "Guide" on duty today.
And his last possessed object fell into a coma after he left. It may take a long time before he wakes up. He stuffed that person under the table.
"This is my application form. The wizard who tested it asked me to come to you." Anna handed her application form to the devil, feeling a little depressed.
She has had enough of the torture of the devil when she was her teacher. Now she has just joined the Mage Association. She didn't expect the leader to be him. She felt that she would know a lot less about what she should know.
Rotgar took the application form, looked at it carefully, and wrote down Anna's current address and her elemental affinity, and then found out the next series of processes from the memory of the facilitator.
He picked up a bunch of keys on the table, got up and opened one of the cabinets in the back.
Anna accidentally lowered her head to see the person hiding under the table and was startled, and the thriller plot of "hiding a corpse under the table" popped up in her mind. She stepped back quickly, making sure that she would never see the person again from her perspective before stopping.
Pretend not to know, she is good at it.
Rotgar quickly took out a black brocade box from the opened cabinet and walked back. He put the brocade box on the table and said to Anna: "This is the badge of your mage apprenticeship. If there is no accident, it will continue. If you continue to use it, every time you level up, a gold star will be added to it. This is also your proof of access to the various public facilities of the association."
Because of the memory of the facilitator, Rothgarh just wrote this passage.
"Okay, I see!" Anna carefully picked up the brocade box and opened it. A badge about the size of a beer bottle cap was lying quietly on the white silk.
She took it off and saw a very small line of words written at the bottom of the badge: Black Cloud City Magic Association.
She pinned it to her left chest. From this moment on, she was a real apprentice of the mage!
After Anna fixed the badge, Rotgar continued to say: “Every new apprentice mage can get three one-on-one introductory courses for free. You can go to the third floor to register and coordinate. The association has its own library, Members can use the elementary library on the first floor for free, and the higher library on the second floor will be charged for each use. All books are not allowed to be borrowed."
Originally, the guide should patiently guide the new members of the Mage Association to understand the entire association, but Rotgar was tired as an unsentimental repetition machine. After saying this, he didn't bother to say it again. He lost a manual. To Anna: "See the rest for yourself, come here to ask the guide if you have any questions."
Anyway, he won't be the one who talks about these things at that time.
"Oh, okay." Anna nodded again and again, and obediently took over the manual titled "Administrative Rules of the Black Cloud City Mage Association".
He looked impatient, did he think she wanted to see him that much?
She put the manual away and said, "If there is nothing wrong, then I will go first."
Rothgar nodded coldly, and saw Anna walking out and closing the door. He took the key to retrieve a copy of the roster from the Black Cloud City Mage Association. The roster is not a secret, and the introduction of the members of the association is limited to information that can be known casually such as age, title and mage level.
There are a total of 133 registered wizards in the Black Cloud City Mage Association, including five four-star wizards, 13 three-star wizards, thirty-six two-star wizards, 47 one-star wizards, and three Twelve apprentice masters. Now there is an Anna, and the total number has increased to 134.
Rothgar first flipped through the list of four-star wizards, and they all thought they were too old. Next was a three-star mage, who was not too old, so he had to reluctantly turn to the list of two-star mage, combined with the memory of this body, and finally picked a person with a good appearance, family conditions and strength.
After Anna left the second floor, she did not immediately go to the third floor to book an introductory one-on-one course, but found a corner in the lobby on the first floor to read the manual. When buying new electronic products in the past, she always used to read the instructions first.
She knew that it was very difficult to get some knowledge from the devil. Fortunately, she had been mentally prepared for a long time, and now she would not have a psychological gap.
The "Management Rules for the Black Cloud City Mage Association" is somewhat thick. The content inside is mainly divided into two parts. The first half is some programmatic things, explaining the requirements of the association for members, including not using personal actions to discredit the association, and to protect the association Honor and so on.
Behind is the president of the Black Cloud City Association, a four-star wizard, the association also has committees, Anna counted, there are seven members, including five four-star wizards and two three-star wizards, the important affairs of the association are controlled by The chairman and the eight members of the committee met to make a resolution. Because everyone's name is quite long, she almost has the majority.
The staff of the various departments of the association are not written in this manual, and you need to go to the office area of each department to read it.
The Annas in the front were swept away, and when she saw the back, she took a lot of seriousness, because it involved the rights that she could enjoy after spending five gold coins to test joining the Mage Association.
Five gold coins, almost all of her fortune, if she can't take all the benefits she deserves, she will feel very at a loss!
After scanning the catalog, Anna found that the study in the Masters Association mainly relies on self-study, and there are also some rules for establishing the teacher-student relationship.
First of all, qualified children are tested at the age of seven and join the Mage Association to become apprentices of the mage. As a beginner, they know almost nothing about the world of mage, especially the children of wealthy civilians who have never had a mage at home. Need for literacy education about the world of wizards.
Therefore, the still humane Association of Masters will give three free introductory literacy courses, one-to-one teaching, how much you can learn depends on your own comprehension ability, anyway, one class is one hour. And then I want to ask the teacher to continue literacy, it will cost money, one gold coin per lesson, and this is the ordinary one-star and two-star mage, three or four-star mage will not do literacy.
As for aristocratic families that have long had mages, this literacy fee doesn't have to be spent.
Anna couldn't help but sigh when she saw this. It really costs money to be a mage, and the five gold coins needed to test elemental affinity are huge in her opinion, but for the entire career of a mage, it is a drop in the bucket, and it can even be said. The benefits provided by the Mage Association.
She looked down and found that krypton gold has krypton gold learning methods, and the liver also has liver learning methods.
For members of the association, many of the public facilities that the association belongs to are free, such as the library that the devil said just now. The elementary library can read books at will. Learning rooms, meditation rooms, martial arts venues, pharmacy rooms and other places are also free, of course, there are also charged, which will provide more protection.
The association also has a public cafeteria that provides free food, but this is mainly used by civilian staff. Generally, mages are nobles and will not stay in the association, and they are unwilling to eat free food with civilians.
There are some scattered regulations in the back. For example, to determine the teacher-student relationship needs to be registered with the association. Teachers and students will have a certain relationship of honor and disgrace. If a student commits a big mistake, the teacher will also be responsible.
In the end, Anna fell silent about the detailed rules that the logistics department could purchase the mage's robe.
The overall style of the mage robe is the same, but it can be customized to add empty crystals, which means that it is embedded in a defensive magic circuit in advance like a wand. The blank mage's robe sells a gold coin, and upwards there are hundreds of gold coins, and there is no cap.
She couldn't even afford the robe of a mage... She was like her because of lack of money, and she would definitely not be the protagonist of the male shuangwen.
Anna calmed down, read the manual carefully, and put it away carefully.
First of all, the benefits of free are given to your hands! Although Dibian taught her a lot of knowledge, it's free anyway, it's not a bad thing to consolidate it again, maybe you can hear something new.
Anna went to the third floor and knocked on the door outside the room where "Course Registration Office" was written.
Before entering, she was mentally prepared to face the devil again, but fortunately, the other party was not.
The registration office was a woman in her thirties. After hearing Anna’s explanation, she showed a professional smile, noted her situation, and said: "Mr Anna, I will arrange the course for you as soon as possible. You can check the registration result at the service desk tomorrow morning."
Anna was almost flattered. Then I thought about it. Although ordinary people working in the association come into contact with wizards every day, they are still ordinary people in the end. She is already an apprentice to the wizard. Even if she is not as well-dressed as the woman in front of her, she can become a woman in the future. Master nobles, but the other party is not good, they will naturally treat her respectfully.
It wasn't until this time that Anna gradually got the feeling that her life had begun to be different.
Of course, because the threat of the devil was still hanging over her head, she couldn't relax herself.
Anna thanked her and planned to go to the library first after she came out.
She has a mystery love for libraries. Before, she had no conditions. Now she can see all kinds of books. How could she not hurry up and check it out?
Anna followed the simple map drawn in the manual to the two-story library. As the internal library of the Masters Association, the scale of course is not as large as the provincial and municipal libraries she has been to before, and it is probably a bit larger than the ordinary Xiaoxinhua Bookstore.
The library on the first floor is divided into two parts, the inside is open shelves, and the outside is the study room, full of tables and chairs. At this moment, there are a dozen people in the study room immersed in reading, there are children around ten years old in the robe of the little wizard, and there are also fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers.
Anna was wearing a badge, and the staff at the door just glanced at her badge and paid no attention to her.
She swept around, and from here you could see a lot of people walking beside the bookshelf where the books were opened, and no one was not wearing a wizard robe.
Anna felt that she was out of place, but she knew that as long as she had a thick skin, she could overcome all embarrassment!
With a feeling of pilgrimage, Anna was about to walk into the open-shelf library when she heard discordant voices.
"Natalie, I heard that you are going to be married? Congratulations!" It was a tall girl who was about the same age as Anna, with a beautiful white face and a proud look. She was obviously an aristocratic child.
"The other party's family is rich, I really envy you Natalie, your fiancé is seventy years old, you can become a widow immediately after marrying, and get all his inheritance!" The other is a little shorter. 'S girl also covered her mouth, deliberately saying envy, but her eyes were full of sarcasm.
The object of ridicule by these two people was a short blond girl. She looked like she was only fourteen or five years old. Her light green eyes were also shining with her brilliant golden hair. Her face was flushed at the moment. He almost jumped and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! If you are envious, marry yourself, and I will let you!"
"That's not okay, that's a good husband that your father has chosen for you. How can we dare to **** it from you? Besides, we are about to become a two-star mage, which two-star mage will marry a stinky old man?" Gao Tiao The girl's long narrow eyes narrowed slightly, sarcasm and mercilessly.
"You, you!" The short blonde girl was shaking with anger, but she couldn't tell them.
At this time, although the staff on the side hesitated, they still came to remind: "Three Masters, this is the library, please keep quiet."
The tall girl and her friend ignored the staff, smiled and glanced at the short blond girl, and then left triumphantly.
Anna looked back when the staff stepped forward to stop her. She had just arrived. Of course she shouldn't be nosy as she didn't know anything.
She entered the open-shelf library, walking around in front of the bookshelves like a butterfly wearing flowers, looking at the names of the books on the shelves, satisfying her curiosity. With so many books, she will have the opportunity to read in the future, so she is not in a hurry.
Besides, she didn't know where she should start reading, so let's start reading after consulting the literacy teacher.
Anna’s lack of a mage robe is considered an anomaly here, and naturally attracted a lot of strange eyes. Fortunately, the dress she wore today was just bought, which is barely enough to squeeze into the ranks of "rich families". It is said that some down-and-out nobles also have it. Possibly, so those eyes didn't stay for too long.
When passing another bookshelf, Anna saw a blond girl sitting on the edge of the bookshelf, with her head buried in her knees, as if crying, her shoulders shrugging.
Recognizing that this was the girl who was stopped and taunted just now, Anna paused, still hesitating whether to leave or take care of her business, she saw that the girl named Natalie raised her head because she noticed something.
Seeing Anna standing by, staring at herself, Natalie blushed instantly and stammered anxiously: "You, what are you looking at...Go away!"
"Feel sorry."
Anna felt embarrassed to see someone crying, and the other person asked her to go, so she should leave as soon as possible.
Anna turned around to leave, but just took a step, only to find that her skirt was pulled, she turned her head and looked down, Natalie pulled her skirt with red eyes, her face changed the moment she turned her head. It's red, but I don't say anything.
Anna hesitated, she should hand over the tissue at this time, right?
She took out the linen handkerchief and handed it over and said, "Clean."
Natalie took the linen handkerchief, wiped away the tears from her face, and blew her nose, and said vaguely: "I will give you a new piece..."
But she still did not loosen Anna's skirt.
As long as you don't wipe her nose with her skirt, you can say anything, five silver coins.
Because the library was almost finished, and there was nothing important to do when I went back, Anna waited for Natalie to calm down with a good temper.
After a few minutes, Natalie finally calmed down.
During this period, her hand kept pulling Anna's skirt, Anna couldn't walk, so she waited for her while taking a book on the shelf to read.
"You..." Natalie said, but stopped after a word.
Anna put the book back, looked down at Natalie and said, "Do you want to stand up and talk? You squat like this for a long time, and your legs will numb."
"Really?" Natalie frowned when she heard the words and stood up, shaking the next second, scared her to hug the bookshelf, "Really so numb!"
Anna: "...Let's go out and talk, don't hinder others here."
Natalie nodded repeatedly.
Anna took Natalie out of the open-shelf library and sat down in the corner of the study room.
There can be some voices in the study room, and there are also little wizards who come together to communicate with each other, so it doesn't matter if Anna and Natalie whisper in the corner.
"Go ahead, why are you holding me and not letting me go?" Anna asked.
At this time, she looked at the badge on Natalie's chest. There were no stars on the black background, and she was still a mage apprentice just like her.
Who knows that Natalie is also looking at her badge at this time, as if she is still a little happy: "You are still a mage apprentice just like me...How many times have you participated in the promotion assessment?"
Natalie was fourteen or five years old, and the averagely talented apprentice mage had already become a one-star mage, but she was still an apprentice mage, which shows that talent is really not good.
But when she met Anna, the mage apprentice who was older than her, she probably felt that she had found an alliance, so she was very happy now.
Anna couldn't bear to hit this little girl who was crying sadly before, and said vaguely: "Is it difficult for the promotion examination?"
Natalie didn’t even notice that Anna didn’t answer her question. When she heard Anna’s words, she grabbed Anna’s hand excitedly, as if she had found her companion: "Yes, you think it’s difficult too! I have all seven exams. I haven't passed the second time, I don't think I will be a one-star mage in my life!"
She said that her eyes were red again.
There is no need for Anna to ask, she tells her own situation on her own: "My father said, if I can't pass the next assessment, he will let me marry... But I don't want to marry an old man, that The old man is dead and seven wives!"
Anna thought silently, then you are quite destined, and you are all on the seven bars.
"That's pretty coincidental. I was forced to marry by an old man who was about to fall into the soil, and I just escaped here." Anna said. The devil is a few thousand years old, isn't it too much to say that he is an old man about to fall into the ground?
Hearing that someone was worse than herself, Natasha instantly gave Anna a sympathetic look. She seemed to be inspired by something, and suddenly said: "I understand, you mean I can run away too?"
Anna: "...No, I mean, there are people in this world who are worse than you. What problems can you solve by crying? Didn't you just let you marry if you couldn't make it through? Then you can show it to your father!"
