Heni blinked, a little confused.

Did she encounter a similar situation last time?

While she was thinking, a white-haired and white-bearded wizard walked in front of her.

The old wizard looked very kind and nodded slightly to Heni.

Heni immediately recognized that this wizard was a regular customer of the store.

"Same as last time."

The wizard pointed to the blue potion on the counter and motioned Heni to get him two bottles.

A heavy bag of Geo was placed on the counter, and he slowly left with the potion.

Heni weighed the purse, then turned around and put it in the cash register in the store.

The rule that a wizard can only buy two bottles a day is actually good, at least for some mages.

They don't have to worry about not being able to buy it every day because of some rich people's crazy rush.

After the previous period of frenzy, the limited potion of fifty bottles per day has shown a more reasonable customer flow.

After all, the price of one thousand per bottle is not something that ordinary mages can easily afford.

The customer flow has not increased explosively, but there is no time when it is empty.

Strictly speaking, this kind of magic potion is a consumable after all. Even if its effect is too powerful, it will not be used frequently.

Most mages buy potions for a few days to prevent accidents. When encountering a crisis, they will not worry about running out of mana.

After the usual training and solving tedious things, they will naturally not waste precious potions. It is enough to rely on natural magic to recover.

After the guests left, Heni came to her senses.

The red impurities on the blue potion bottle disappeared, but at this time, a group of red squirming things kept approaching her.

It looks like a red jelly.

It seems to have no entity and looks very strange.

It feels like...

Not very smart to Heni.

"Hello, hello? That's weird, can't you hear me?"

The red jelly was trying to stretch its body, trying to attract Heni's attention.

A jelly hand stretched out from its body and waved at Heni.

But the strange thing was that Heni just kept looking at it, without giving it any response at all.

The red jelly retracted its hand, was quiet for a while, and collapsed softly.

"Damn it! Why don't you say something back!"

Wow! Mr. Jelly is angry! ?

Heni looked at the jelly that was shaking because of anger, and her heart was slightly shocked. She quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry."

Hearing Heni's apology, the red jelly seemed very satisfied. It squeezed out two things like snail tentacles from its round body and swung them slowly in front of Heni.

It seemed to be sizing up Heni in front of it, and asked while waving its tentacles:

"There are very few humans who can satisfy me. Tell me, who are we going to beat?"

Heni tilted her head and stared at the red jelly, thinking for a long time.

"Then... can you tell me your name?"

"Ah?"

......

The shop was very quiet in the afternoon, the leisurely time passed by, and night fell.

Heni returned to the mansion and walked to the front door.

Before she reached out, the door had been opened by the servant.

"Miss Heni."

Heni was startled.

She had always lived here as a guest. Hearing someone suddenly greet her, Heni shuddered with a guilty conscience.

When she looked up, it turned out that it was a familiar servant who opened the door of the mansion for her.

Heni breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, a cold wind blew across Heni's back, and she felt someone standing behind her.

The man's voice was indifferent:

"Hernie?"

Hernie's hair stood up, she slowly turned around and looked at the person who came.

It was Professor Victor.

A dark crow stood on his shoulder as usual.

Somehow, the crow's eyes seemed to become more frightening.

Hernie just felt a little surprised:

"Professor! You're back..."

"What did you bring back?"

Hernie was frightened by Victor's words, and shrank her head tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

Victor glanced at the trembling Hernie with his eyes, and said:

"Come to my study."

Hernie could only follow behind Victor obediently, looking very pitiful.

The two soon arrived at the study, and Victor waved his hand and turned on the desk lamp on the desk.

A small warm yellow light shone on the desk. Victor stood in front of the desk, and Heni stood at the door, lowering her head like a punching bag who had done something wrong.

The two figures swayed on the wall behind them."Don't you have anything to tell me?"

"Professor, I want to tell you when you come back..."

Hernie stretched out her hand, and a ball of red gel-like liquid appeared from her arm, rolling onto the desk.

The light of the desk lamp shone on its small body, but the shadow could not be reflected on the wall.

It began to shape its own shape like jelly, and with constant changes, it finally became a very small... crocodile.

The crocodile didn't react to what was going on. It looked up and looked around, and then stared at Victor, who had a frighteningly cold face.

Feeling Victor's malicious eyes, the little crocodile suddenly stretched out a small claw and slapped the table with a "snap".

"What are you looking at?"

It seems to be a not very smart demon, and it seems that it has not figured out the current situation.

Victor squinted his eyes.

In the game, the breeding of primitive demons has always been a very mysterious thing.

In the first chapter, the seven original demons gathered in the Karencia Empire, led by Greedy, occupying the imperial capital, and the remaining six demons were in different cities.

Until Greedy was killed by the players, the remaining six demons disappeared quickly in the empire as if they had received an order.

But in future chapters, players can find these original demons in many places.

And the little crocodile in front of him is obviously a furious demon.

Lightton.

That's right, Victor knows the real names of all seven demons, so these demons are not threatening at all in his eyes.

After all, his current identity is different from that in the game.

Players in the game cannot interact with NPCs. In the eyes of NPCs, players are more like "dumb" and "emotionless" machines.

This means that even if players can check the names of demons in combat, they cannot restrict demons by their real names.

Heni looked at the demon that turned into a crocodile and was slightly startled.

It's only been a day, how did Mr. Jelly turn into a little crocodile?

"The original demon will absorb the emotions of the possessed to make itself stronger. If the corresponding emotions and magic power are sufficient, it only takes one day for them to grow to a state that even the army cannot deal with."

Vega explained to Victor beside him.

In fact, the reason why Victor was able to directly notice the "demon" in Heni was because Vega sensed it in advance.

As an evil god, Vega is very sensitive to demons, which are beyond biological beings.

The atmosphere in the study became a little subtle because of the silence. Victor waved to Heni, signaling her to leave first.

Heni covered her eyes and nodded "woohoo", and left the study aggrievedly.

She thought she had done something wrong.

Until she walked out of the study, Victor looked at the crocodile again and said slowly:

"Tell me, what deal did you make with her?"

The crocodile obviously knew that Victor was asking it a question, but it was not afraid of the mysterious man in front of it. It gritted its teeth angrily and said:

"Deal? What a deal!"

"She asked me my name right away, how can you let me trade?"

"..."

At least now I can rest assured that Heni has not been bewitched by the devil.

The crocodile in front of him is still very weak, just like it was just born.

Victor narrowed his eyes, Vega laughed on his shoulder, and only Victor's voice sounded in its ears:

"Very interesting."

"It was greed at first, and now it's rage."

"The demons obviously have better hosts to choose from, but they all chose this little succubus without exception."

Each demon has different abilities.

The greedy demon can stimulate people's desires, and through continuous gifts, people's desires are multiplied several times until they can no longer repay.

The furious demon will amplify the anger of the possessed person a hundred times, causing him to overdraw his strength and die in endless anger.

Similarly, similar to the lust demon...

Victor didn't want to think about it anymore.

But since Heni can attract different demons, the rest are likely to show up in the future.

Whether it's good or bad, Victor can plan ahead.

"So now."

Victor squinted at the little crocodile in front of him.

The red crocodile trembled, and a sense of badness crept up on his body.

"It's not a good thing to get angry casually."

"I'll teach you to control your anger, Lighton."

Hearing Victor's words, the little crocodile felt as if his limbs were stuck by a shackle, unable to move.As if unwillingly, a line was connected with Victor.

"The contract is established."

...

Early the next morning, Hernie was a little depressed.

She always felt that she had done something wrong and made Professor Victor unhappy, which made her dare not go to Victor so far.

Just when she wanted to go to the garden to relax, a maid ran over and said to Hernie:

"Miss Hernie, the master wants you to go to the study."

Hernie was a little confused, but she still walked towards the study.

She was uneasy and kept comforting herself on the way that nothing was wrong.

Pushing open the door of Victor's study, Hernie saw Victor sitting at the desk as usual, with his hands crossed.

There were two pieces of paper on the table, but Hernie didn't pay attention to them.

"Professor... Professor, you called me."

Victor nodded and signaled her to come to the desk with his eyes.

Heni walked forward obediently, staring at the two pieces of paper in front of her, with her hands not knowing where to put them, and she seemed to be particularly uneasy.

Victor spoke first:

"There are two contracts in front of you. The first one is an invitation from the Royal Academy."

"Sign this contract, and you will become an honorary associate professor of the Royal Academy of Magic, with the same treatment as a professor, including a house of your own."

Herni was slightly stunned when she heard it.

"Associate... Associate Professor?"

It was like a dream, as if the dream she had always dreamed of had become a reality.

A warm feeling suddenly surged into her heart and spread throughout Heni's body.

Her breathing became a little hurried involuntarily.

Victor was not in a hurry, and continued:

"The contract on the right was drafted by Leah yesterday."

"Sign this contract, and you will be a retainer of the Cravenner family. You can choose a family job, or you can live here forever."

"Of course, the treatment will not be bad either."

Herni was stunned again.

One is the nomination of associate professor, and the other is the retainer of the Cravenner family.

If she chooses the second one, she will be... a member of the Cravenner family?

But the job of associate professor...

Ah.

Life is full of choices, and Hernie's teacher once taught her.

In front of Hernie, there are two choices.

One is the dream she has always dreamed of.

It is her hard work for many years, trying to get the reward for that hard work.

The other is the vision she wants to pursue for her whole life.

Finally, Hernie looked at Victor.

She knew that everything she had now was hard-won.

Therefore, Hernie never felt that her dream could compare to the vision in front of her.

So, she made a choice.

"Professor, I want to choose..."

"Wait."

Victor interrupted her with a sudden word.

Under Hernie's somewhat dazed gaze, Victor knocked on the table.

A breeze blew gently, blowing two contracts in front of Heni at the same time.

Heni was a little confused and puzzled, but Victor's voice seemed to soothe her anxiety, ringing beside her ears.

"I never said that this is a multiple-choice question."

"..."

Henni stared at Victor blankly.

Somehow, there seemed to be a faint surge of moisture in the corners of her eyes, as if a layer of mist covered her eyes.

But it was not because of sadness, Heni knew it very well.

When the feeling of happiness surged over her body, it was as if a glimmer of light redeemed her entire world.

"Professor."

At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her life.

She had suffered cold contempt, ridicule and abuse.

It was as if the bitterness had been resolved.

Heni put her hand on her chest, and her voice was slightly choked.

"It's really nice to meet you."

"It's great."

...

Henni, lv9→lv10.
