Anna thought that she would have income tomorrow, and she also let go of shopping a little bit. Today, she bought a whole tender roast goose, plus some juice, and brought it home.

She had just returned to her residence downstairs with a bunch of things in her arms, and Givina, who was peeking at the door of her house, hurriedly greeted her and said: "Mage Anna, I seem to hear some movement in your room today. Please be careful when you go in."

Anna smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe it's a mouse. I've already come back just now, and I didn't find anything unusual."

Givina just happened to go out and didn't run into Anna. He was relieved after hearing the words: "Okay, Master Anna." She noticed that Anna was holding some food, and quickly said, "You can eat with us. "

"It's okay. I usually eat in the Mage Association. I only eat myself when I think of it. If I need it, I won't be polite to you, Givina." Anna said with a smile, "You haven't slept recently. Okay? If you have any questions, please tell me in time. Making a sleep potion is very simple for me."

"I have slept very well recently. Thank you very much for the kindness of Mage Anna. The goddess will definitely bless you!" Givina said with a smile, "I won't disturb you anymore. Go back and rest soon."

Anna bid farewell to Givina and went back to the attic.

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't been to that women's clothing store for a long time, and she could visit it in two days. Going to the life and death line still consumes clothes. She wants to buy two more spares.

As soon as he opened the door, Anna heard Ep's complaining voice: "What are you talking about below, it will take so long!"

Anna ignored him, only asked: "Did you tie yourself up?"

She closed the door and saw that Aipu's feet were tied with rope, but it was too difficult for her to tie her hands, and she still tied it on her back.

"I'll tie up when I'm full!" Eppe said confidently.

Anna said casually before leaving, she sat down on the meditation mat holding the food, and slowly took them out.

Aipu stared at the food almost with a green light, reaching out to take it, was slapped off by Anna: "Wash your hands before eating!"

Aipu gave Anna a dissatisfied look, but still stood up, jumped to the bathroom, scribbled and washed his hands and jumped out again, sat down in front of her, staring at the food eagerly.

After Anna took out all the food, she got up to wash her hands, and when she came back, Epp had already started to eat.

Anna couldn't bear to look straight at Epp's fierce appearance when she ate. She slowly ate her share, thinking about how to show herself to Master Dawkins tomorrow.

After dinner, Anna asked Epp to wash his hands and solve his physical problems, and then tied him up. This time Epp's reaction was not as great as last night, and she watched Anna tie him up very calmly.

When Anna was ready to enter the meditation state, Epp suddenly asked, "Hey, you are just a civilian? How come you have the courage to take me in?"

Anna didn't open her eyes, and she replied casually: "You are pitiful."

"Who is pitiful!" Aipu said dissatisfiedly. Because of being tied up, he could only lie on his side, staring at Anna, "I have never met anyone as bold as you who dared to take me in."

"So, meeting me is your greatest fortune. Are you not obedient?" Anna said, "I'm going to meditate, don't talk to me anymore."

Epp stopped speaking, but the silence lasted only ten seconds, and he said again: "Is the Mage Association fun?"

Anna opened his eyes and looked over. Epps seemed to just ask casually. When Anna looked over, he said indifferently: "I haven't been to the Mage Association yet, so I just ask casually."

It's a compelling supplement.

Anna thought of Dibian, such a gentle person, because he was a pure dark affinity, he could only be chased and killed everywhere. She didn't know how he was now, whether he successfully reunited with the teacher.

"It's okay. The Mage Association is not a place to play, but a place to learn." Anna said, "You can meet like-minded partners in the Association and make progress together."

Aipu didn't respond much to Anna's words. He rolled over twice and said, "It's so boring for me to be here alone during the day."

"Escape is like this." Anna said mercilessly, "You can go by yourself if you are bored, I won't stop you."

Anna didn’t tie Eppe during the day, because there was nothing worth stealing in her house, and she even vaguely hoped that he would sneak away, so that if he died outside, it wouldn’t be her cause. After all, she had tried her best to help. .

But since Epp seems to be here, she can only hide him before he gets better.

"I won't be fooled!" Epp said triumphantly, "You just want me to go, don't you? I won't go! There is food and drink here without running for my life, why should I go?"

Anna glanced at the overlord tenant and reluctantly retracted her gaze. Fortunately, although this kid doesn't speak well, he still knows how to measure, and won't cause her external troubles, and the extent to which she provokes her is within her acceptable range.

…Ok? Why is this so familiar?

Speaking of it, isn't this how she gets along with the devil? She was testing back and forth at his bottom line...

Anna didn't expect "retribution" to come so quickly, she couldn't help being a little funny.

It's just that she knows what Ep is doing, but the devil doesn't know that she has been testing his bottom line, and has also tested out a safe area.

Anna suddenly said to Epp, "Do you really want a friend?"

Aipu was taken aback, and then said disdainfully: "I don't need a friend."

"It’s good to have friends, especially like-minded friends. You can make progress together, share emotions, joy, sorrow, pain, achievements... Someone share, good emotions can be doubled, and bad emotions can be dispelled, you Have you been outside for a long time? Don't you really want a friend who can advance and retreat with you?"

Aipu fell silent because of Anna's words, but in the end he said very firmly: "I don't need friends."

"It's up to you. I wanted to say, if you want, I can be your friend." Anna shrugged, and finally said solemnly, "Then you won't talk anymore, I'm going to meditate."

After Anna finished speaking, she was finally able to enter a state of meditation, and Epp didn't say anything again.

After three hours of meditation, after all her mental energy was restored and even increased, Anna felt a lot more comfortable. After washing, she climbed into the bed, put out the candlelight and was ready to go to bed.

Just as Anna was in a daze, she heard Epp say: "Are you really willing to be my friend?"

Anna murmured in her heart, I have become plastic friends with the devil now, and you don't have too many friends.

She just rolled over, responded more casually, and fell asleep slowly.

Early the next morning, Anna got up in great spirits. This time, she bought enough food for Epping for a day, untied him and left.

When she arrived at the Mage Association, Anna went to the library first, and today she plans to continue reading other books.

She was already familiar with the books that Lyon had listed for her, and wanted to continue to learn so that she could store more knowledge to guide the practice of spells and potions.

After having Lyon's book list at the bottom, there is something to look at later, Anna already has a direction. Whether a book is good or not can be roughly judged based on her years of reading experience, flipping through the preface and catalog, and looking at a few.

Today Natalie is still earlier than Anna. She is still trying to review Lyon's book list. This is not only helpful for her theoretical examination, but also for her practical assessment, so she is very serious.

In the past, she had only passed the theoretical examinations, but this time she is ambitious and confident, and wants to take an excellent exam! Anna said that the goal can be a little higher than her own level, and she must have no problem in the middle of the exam now, and the goal is naturally set to be excellent.

But the other figure is not there.

"Is it assassinated by the York family?" Anna said thoughtfully.

"Huh?" Natalie was startled and looked at Anna with some horror.

Anna smiled and said: "I just said casually, he should be mentally unable to hold it."

It is impossible for a devil to be assassinated. The highest here is a four-star mage. If he is really succeeded, she will look down on him. If he is forced to show his true body, he will surely cause a sensation, right? It's so peaceful now, it can be seen that nothing happened.

Anna hasn't tried what it feels like to be mentally overdrawn, but based on her extensive bystander experience, it must be very uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to try it yet.

Anna read the book all morning, took a note after studying a new book, checked Natalie's homework, and then the two went to lunch together.

Only then did Natalie have the opportunity to ask about the questions she had been holding back to today.

"Anna, you and Mage Raymond, are you..." Although Natalie asked, she was a little embarrassed and didn't ask the complete question.

"Yes, not really." Anna said, "It just starts with a friend, and I'll talk about it later."

Natalie looked at Anna and said enviously: "I really want to be as cool as you."

"It can be because of your personality or your strength. Your personality is hard to change, so use your strength to get it together." Anna laughed, "Practice spells in the afternoon. I will tell you where there is a problem yesterday. Yes, I have to correct it today. I will conduct random inspections again after the end."

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Natalie said with a grin.

When the two of them finished lunch and were about to do their own things separately, Natalie said in anticipation of Ai Ai again: "Anna, tomorrow is my fifteenth birthday, and my family will hold a birthday party for me tomorrow night. Would you like Come to participate?"

Anna was surprised: "Of course I do! You should tell me earlier so that I can prepare gifts for you."

Natalie hurriedly said: "Don't prepare gifts for me... If you have to give me gifts, can you give me a copy of your reading notes and magic experience?"

Anna accepted Natalie’s kindness. Her reading notes and spell training experience will gradually be shared with Natalie. There is no need to prepare specially. Natalie said so because she didn’t want to increase her financial burden. Giving such a personal thing is actually a very expensive gift, so that she would not be ashamed of sending such a gift in front of Natalie's family.

"Okay." Anna smiled, "Cultivate in the afternoon, don't be lazy, just record any problems truthfully."

"Got it, Teacher Anna!" Natalie yelled jokingly and ran away.

Anna went to the service counter in the affairs hall and waited.

She didn't know if the dress she had at home was high enough for Natalie's birthday party. Although she didn't care, Natalie herself shouldn't care, but as a friend of Natalie, she didn't want Natalie to lose face. If everything goes well today, she can buy a blank mage robe. It is very formal for a mage to wear a mage robe, and attending Natalie's birthday party is not only a shame but also a bonus.

When Anna arrived, there was already a mage in her 40s at the service desk who was talking to Tereza. Tereza noticed Anna and said something with a smile. The mage hurriedly looked over and locked Anna. , His eyes gleamed, and a gust of wind ran to Anna.

"Telisa said, you took my task, right?" Dawkins said excitedly, "It's another one. Do you know when the last time a mage apprentice was willing to help me? It was six months. Five days ago! Oh my god, I don’t know how I’ve spent the past six months, it’s so miserable, so miserable..."

Anna didn't expect this mage to be so enthusiastic. After he finished speaking, she said, "I'm not sure if the extract I made meets the requirements, so..."

Dawkins interrupted her and said seriously: "Of course it meets the requirements, why not? I said that the requirements are met!"

Anna couldn't laugh or cry, the mage's need for an "assistant" was too strong.

"Let's go to the pharmacy to try it now? You want to prepare a new potion. The raw materials should meet the requirements. Otherwise, your experiment will be affected, and your money will be wasted." Anna said.

Dawkins nodded pretentiously: "You also make a lot of sense...but I saw that you are very good at making extracts. Even if you fail to pass at first, you will definitely pass it soon. I am optimistic about you!"

Also "very good at making extracts"... This is not to let go of catching an assistant, right?

Anna greeted Tereza and went to the pharmacy with Dawkins.

The pharmacy room rented by Dawkins is different from what Anna usually uses. There is a magic circle formed by a magic circuit outside to prevent the impact of explosions in the pharmacy room or the diffusion of toxic and harmful gases. According to Dawkins, this is a long-term lease, and all the things in this pharmacy room are his.

Anna went in to take a look and nodded. This messy look really looks like a long-term lease.

On the test bench are glassware that has been washed and unwashed. Some of the residual liquid in it is still bubbling and has a strange color. The floor is colorful and pitted, scattered with scratch paper and broken potion materials. Some of them are not. Know how to sort garbage.

"Haha, it's a little messy, I will tidy up, tidy up." Dawkins noticed Anna's expression and smiled awkwardly.

He didn't expect to find someone to help prepare the extract today, because he was too excited to forget the situation in the pharmacy room, otherwise he could not clean up the people before bringing them? Someone who has finally made it, you can't scare people away!

"I'll help you." Anna was too embarrassed to watch a two-star mage tidy up while she sat still.

"No need, you sit down first." Dawkins looked around and found that all the chairs were occupied by him and piled up. They weren't the ones that could be removed at once, so he couldn't help but blush.

Anna smiled and said, "I'll help you, and we will pack up faster together."

Seeing Anna insisted, Dawkins had to ask her to help clean up.

After a quarter of an hour, the pharmacy room was roughly restored to its initial tidiness.

Anna looked at the results of her labor with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, Dawkins suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed her hand and stuffed something into her palm, and then let go of her hand as if she was afraid that she would return it to him, and quickly Said: "This is a deposit, you can't go back after receiving the deposit!"

Anna saw five gold coins lying in her palm.

She lamented that it was not easy for Dawkins to find an assistant, but she also lamented how easy it is for a wizard to make money.

She originally just wanted to earn money for a mage robe today, but she didn't expect to earn money for the promotion assessment in advance.

Knowing that Dawkins was afraid that she would run away, Anna did not postpone it. She accepted the gold coin and said, "Okay, Master Dawkins, I will write you a receipt later."

"No need, no! Who would be greedy for this money!" Dawkins said very generously, and then said a little nervously, "Look at any request, we can talk about it."

"I'll make them for you first." Anna said, "I made some copies yesterday and put them in the management office. I'll get them back. You can wait here for a while."

"I'll go with you!" Dawkins said hastily, as if afraid that Anna would never return.

Anna thought of buying raw materials, but it was not convenient for her to get them back at once, and she understood Dawkins' nervousness, so she agreed.

The two went to the management office together. Anna retrieved five parts of the wattle extract made yesterday, while Dawkins bought a hundred parts of wattle for ten silver coins.

The two returned to the pharmacy. Anna showed Dawkins the extract she made yesterday. After checking it, Dawkins said in surprise, "What a good job!"

He just wanted someone to help him, and he would be fine. How could he think that the extract she prepared was so pure and even better than what he did!

"No problem, I'll start doing it." Anna was also very happy that her work was recognized, and started her new job.

Dawkins responded casually, still observing the five extracts happily, calculating how much more pure extracts would increase the success rate of his new potion experiment.

When he recovered happily, he found that Anna was handling two wattles at the same time with both hands. His complexion changed, and he just wanted to stop her, but was afraid to scare her, so the assistant who was looking forward to finally got caught in the same way. It was not worthwhile for him to scare away, so he quickly covered his mouth and watched secretly from the side.

Although it was a pity that he would lose two wattle grasses... but to find an assistant, even if all this one hundred wattle grasses were lost, it was worth it!

Dawkins secretly observed, the more he watched, the more frightened he got.

Anna was the first to use the fire-element crispy method, and he had seen others use it, but because he didn't have the affinity of the fire element, he couldn't use it. The old method was time-consuming and labor-intensive. It's not a big surprise to be able to use this trick, but her stability and proficiency in using it made him feel bad.

Afterwards, the extraction of the water element is even more like art, without the slightest omission.

It took forty minutes for Anna to process the two extracts, and it would take him more than an hour to process one by himself.

Dawkins admired the extract that Anna had just made, and the two parts were even better than the previous five.

He kept praising, thinking of what he had heard from Trisha, he couldn't help asking: "Anna, are you really just becoming an apprentice of the mage for less than a month?"

"It's true." Anna didn't hide, "I didn't have the chance to get in touch with spells in the past. I saved up to five gold coins to come to the Wizards Guild."

"Oh, you were delayed for the previous ten years!" Dawkins sighed and looked at Anna regretfully, "If you came two years earlier, I wouldn't have to make extracts miserably! "

Anna: "..."

He hadn't thought about it. With her talent, she might have become a one-star and two-star mage two years earlier, so how could he make an extract for him?

Anna is a kind person and didn't tell the cruel truth to attack Master Dawkins. She said: "If there is no problem, then I will continue to do it. I can make 20 copies in a row, and it is almost possible to make it this afternoon."

"Okay, do it!" Dawkins laughed when he heard Anna said that he could make twenty copies in one afternoon.

He was exhausted and made ten copies in one day, and she could make twenty copies in one afternoon, giving her two hours of meditation to restore her mental strength, and she could make twenty copies in a day, that would be forty copies in one day! Doesn't it mean that he can do two new potion experiments in three days? Then, his long-distance success, can't it be much earlier?

Dawkins couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Originally, he wanted to do it with Anna, so hurry up. He initially expected her to make five or six copies a day, but he didn't expect it.

Although Dawkins himself is a very talented mage, otherwise he would not be so old or just a two-star mage, but of course he knows what a talented mage looks like.

That's Anna.

Obviously not long after joining the Mage Association, he learned fast and well. His mental power was far stronger than that of ordinary apprentices, and his micromanagement ability was outstanding. The extract he made was so pure that he, a two-star mage, sighed.

What's rare is that she is calm and stable, without the frizz of ordinary young people, and gives people a very reliable feeling.

After Anna finished two more extracts steadily and safely, Dawkins admired it and said, "Anna, do you know that you are very talented?"

"I know. A mage friend of mine told me this, and I really learn things very fast." Anna chatted and started the next pretreatment of the extract.

Dawkins shook his head regretfully. He also thought, if this little girl doesn't know that she has a high talent, he can take advantage of her and accept her as an apprentice... Well, forget it, his kind of talent is extremely incomparable, and he should not delay her future.

Before she was found scrambling by other wizards, it was the right thing to pull her to help him make more extracts!

Dawkins instantly made up his mind not to tell other high-level wizards that there is a good seedling that will surely become a four-star mage and hopefully a five-star mage. He is not greedy, so she can help him make an extract for a month...no, half a month. Good too!
