Chapter 34: A Stronger Heart
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Valilla returned to 6 Daffodil Street, to the house she shared with Moretti's family.
She was warmly welcomed by the Moretti family.
Unconsciously, the Moretti family has become accustomed to her presence, and the past three days have been very worrying.
In order not to worry them, before entering the door, Valera also deliberately cast a simple illusion on her face to hide her poor complexion.
After a pleasant dinner, the four gathered in the living room.
Valera sat next to Crane, looking at Crane's notes on the table, listening to him make up for himself.
Seeing this, Melissa finished her homework early and went upstairs with Benson to rest.
They are tacitly creating opportunities for Crane.
But in fact, Valilla is not in the mood to interact with Crane anymore.
Tonight I'm just talking about studying.
Even if she was not in good shape, with the blessing of the "bottom line" pocket watch, she quickly mastered the lessons of the past few days.
After barely accomplishing a few words with Kriendo, Valera excused herself from the fatigue of the journey and went back to her room.
In the bedroom, she pulled out several potions from the drawer on the left side of the dresser and began to configure the "regeneration potion".
After some time of playing the practice, she has mastered the pharmaceutical ability brought by the "witch" potion enough to be able to configure the less effective "blood potion" by herself.
Soon, the dispensing was complete.
The potion in the beaker is bright red.
Its main effect is to stimulate and enhance its own hematopoietic ability, as for the side effects, Valilla chose "aphrodisiac" as an adjuvant, which is naturally to enhance lust.
For Valeera, this is about the same as no side effects.
Drinking the potion and feeling the fever gradually heating up, Valeera went to bed.
……
The next day, Valeera's complexion regained a bit, and the blue blush on her cheeks faded again, and she no longer needed to be covered by illusions.
When they arrived at the school, after dealing with their concerned classmates, Valera and Welch got down to business.
"You mean, you've changed your mind and want to get a pet?" Welch's chubby body bounced off the back of the chair, threw himself on the table, and asked, "Do you want to have a black cat?" ”
Valera shook her head.
She wants an animal guard to remind her, not just a pet.
Obviously, the cat, which sleeps more than ten hours a day, does not quite meet her needs.
"I want to have a dog, preferably a hunting dog."
"Hound," Welch repeated hesitantly, whispering, "it's not cheap, a well-trained hound costs between £450 and £700." ”
Originally, the last time he took the initiative to mention the black cat pet, he had the idea of giving a gift, but unfortunately Valeera was not interested.
This time, Valilla finally changed her mind, but she fell in love with the hound.
It's not that he can't afford to send it, but he's just a little distressed.
Because his family's manor is in Conston City, which is known as the "Windy City" in Jianhai County, otherwise he can directly send his hunting dogs, and it doesn't matter how much money he spends.
Just as he hesitated, Valeera, who saw the crux of the problem, spoke:
"Welch, I just wanted you to help me find a way to buy hounds, well, you know, I've not been in Tingen for long, and I don't like to go to banquets, so ......"
Generally speaking, only nobles and wealthy merchants would breed hunting dogs on their estates, and money could not buy them without friendship.
Valeera is not short of money now, but lacks channels.
Not counting the property left by Qili, the income from her divination and medicine sales during this time, plus the pocket money in Mrs. Sharon's pocket, is close to 1,000 pounds.
Of course, Mrs. Sharon contributed about half of this.
Hearing that Valera wanted to buy it herself, Welch was both happy and ashamed, and hurriedly patted his belly and promised, "I promise to help you do this little thing." ”
"Tomorrow, tomorrow is Sunday, and I promise to take you to pick your favorite hound."
"In this way, tomorrow afternoon, I will hold a small afternoon tea banquet at home, just the four of us in the group, Naya, Crane, just say it, don't be absent!"
Welch is bold and generous, and Crane and Naya have been to his house many times, so when they are invited, they will naturally not refuse.
Valilla forced herself to squeeze out a pretty smile and thanked Welch for his help.
Welch smiled, clearly very useful.
……
In the afternoon, after the lesson, Valilla did not go back to the soothsayer's club.
First, there is no mood, and second, there is no motivation.
She went to the soothsayer's club, and the biggest purpose was to find an opportunity to play it.
But now, Valera doesn't have to play anymore.
Because of her relationship, the two Sequence 6 "Pleasure" witches died on the same night, and the feedback from their deaths directly helped Valilla digest some of the remaining potions in her body.
"The 'witch' is the purveyor of calamity, sickness and suffering, whether active or passive."
This is Valeera's perception, and it is the true meaning of "witch" play that she understands.
She wasn't strong enough, so despite her calculations and the most perfect solution, she ended up getting involved with Qili.
Valera wants to be stronger.
She used to have a desire to get stronger, but it was far less intense than it is now.
If it weren't for the weakness of blood loss in her body and her imperfect condition, Valeera would have chosen to be promoted two days ago in Beckland.
She wants to be stronger, she wants to avoid passively spreading disaster again in the future, and causing another tragedy that she does not want to accept;
She wanted to be stronger, to undo the tragedy she had caused as much as possible, even though she couldn't figure out how to do it.
……
In the afternoon, after the lesson, Valilla and Crane returned to Daffodil Street.
Along the way, Crane has been telling Valera all sorts of jokes.
He caught some of Valeera's hidden sadness and tried to amuse her.
But the effect is not too obvious.
It wasn't until after dinner that Crane took out his treasured clown mask, put it on in front of his brother and sister, and awkwardly put on a show for Valeera.
This time, Valeera, along with Melissa and Benson, was amused.
For a moment, she was really happy.
But, when she returned to her room and was alone by herself, she remembered Crane's fate...... Remembering what you've done......
Although Crane's fate was inevitable, guilt rose from the bottom of her heart.
She's been cheating on Crane.
Valera felt like she had been stabbed again.
"It's still a matter of strength!"
"Only with sufficient strength can you interfere with reality according to your own will!"
For a moment, Valeera's will to climb the sequence became extremely firm.
She decides to go to the underground market of the "Dragon Bar" tomorrow to collect potions for auxiliary materials.
"As soon as my body fully recovers, I will configure the potion and promote to Sequence 6!"
