On the way back from Welch's house, Crane looked entangled, and several times he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Finally, when he got to Daffodil Street, he gritted his teeth and said it.

"Valeera, you...... You shouldn't eat rye bread with us...... I'm sorry I ......."

He was slurred and his sentences were incomplete.

What he really wanted to say was that he wasn't worthy of Valeera, but he couldn't.

First, they are really reluctant, and secondly, because their relationship is not clear.

This trip to the manor touched him deeply.

He deeply felt Valeera's wealth and kindness.

She could afford to spend a huge sum of £300 on a pet dog without any stress, but she was still willing to share a house with the family, calculate a few sucks a week with her brother and sister, and eat the staple of rye bread with the three of them......

She wronged herself and maintained the dignity of their family to the greatest extent.

What a kind girl...... She deserves and deserves a better life.

Crane wanted to persuade her to leave, but he was selfishly reluctant.

Valilla had long seen Crane's general thoughts, knew that he was stimulated by the gold pound, and felt his heart...... Even if he is not a "fool", he is a very good and kind person.

By the time Crane spoke his mind, Valera sighed and responded.

She paused, tilted her head slightly to look at Crane, then snuggled into his arms and patted him on the back.

"You're excellent, come on."

After saying that, before Crane could react and hug her, Valilla pulled back, turned around and walked a few steps, looked back and saw that he was still stunned, and waved his hand, "Are you stupid?" Don't keep up yet. ”

It was the best she could think of.

In the time before leaving, without crossing the bottom line, give more benefits to make Crane happier...... Even if it's just an illusion she has carefully weaved.

Crane basked in the tenderness of that moment, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard Valeera greet him.

He took a few quick steps to catch up, a big smile on his face.

……

At 6 Daffodil Street, Melissa is preparing dinner.

Seeing his brother and sister Valera coming back with a big dog with a beautiful and supple coat and a majestic demeanor, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked for details.

Valilla gave Crane a wink, and spoke first:

"This was given by a classmate, and he doesn't want to raise it."

"One of the purposes of our going to the afternoon tea banquet was to bring it back."

"It's called Harpy, isn't it cute?"

Melissa nodded busily, "Mmmmmmmm ”

She wiped her hands on the apron of her old clothes, squatted down and stroked the dog's head over and over again.

After stroking for a while, Melissa suddenly thought of a question, "Can we raise it?" What does it eat? ”

"Just eat the same as what we eat." Valera replied with a smile.

This is the way to do it on the surface, and she will go and buy dog food and pet cookies for Harpy to eat.

After playing with Harpy for a while, Melissa reluctantly went back to prepare dinner.

Valera also put on an apron to help.

Crane saw it in his eyes, and his heart warmed.

When dinner was almost ready, Benson also returned from work.

He was taken aback by the Harpy.

After some explanation and assurance, he cautiously reached out and tentatively touched the dog's head.

Seeing that Harpy was indeed docile, he was completely relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

……

At night, Valeera's room.

Harpy whimpered, and through the "connection", complained to Valeera, "The rye bread tonight is so bad!" ”

Valera patted it on the head and sent a few comforting thoughts.

This flawed retriever, which looks like a husky, actually has a high IQ and has the level of an average child, but because of his personality, he resists the training of dog trainers.

Valeera communicates with it with her mind, which is naturally more effective than the training methods of a dog trainer.

When it calmed down, Valera gave it a not-so-difficult task - a vigil.

When she sleeps and rests, it has to lie on the hidden place next to the bed to remain vigilant, and once there is any abnormality including sound, smell and other aspects, it must immediately respond and wake up the owner.

If you do it well enough, you'll be rewarded with better food and toys, and even magical abilities.

Valera also showed her ability to manipulate the frost in front of Harpy, condensing a piece of ice in the shape of a bone and giving it to gnaw on.

This rightfully came with a lot of motivation on the part of Harpy.

In this way, Valera can finally sleep more peacefully.

……

And just like that, a week passed quickly.

Although she has not fully recovered, Valera assesses her state and feels that it is almost the same, and it should not affect her promotion.

During this time, Valeera's life was peaceful, and she did not see the threat of the Witch Sect.

There was a small accident.

One night, Melissa and Benson went upstairs to rest, and it was just her and Crane in the living room.

As Valeera got up to collect her notes and prepare to go upstairs to rest, Crane suddenly hugged her from behind and sniffed her hair.

Valeera was shocked, but held back.

Hugging isn't too much of a stretch to her bottom line, and it can ease the guilt in her heart a little.

But she just didn't resist, and it was impossible to respond.

At that time, Crane only hugged her for a few seconds, and then suddenly let go and sat back on the couch.

"I'm sorry...... Valeera, I'm ...... I ...... on the spur of the moment."

He bent down to hide his embarrassment, and his face flushed and apologized.

"It's okay, I understand."

At that moment, Vali returned his sparkling smile, picked up the note, greeted Harpy again, and walked upstairs with light steps, ending the accident.

……

Monday, May 15th.

After the afternoon lesson, Valilla excused herself to go to the Fortune Tellers' Club and let Crane go home first.

After that, she came to a flower shop in the Golden Sycamore District.

She had been to this flower shop before, when she was preparing to be promoted to "witch".

That time, she was still him, and he bought 2 golden mandala flowers.

This time, she came to buy black mandala flowers.

Valera walked around among the various potted and bottled flowers in the flower shop, found black mandala flowers, and picked 2 of them.

After coming out of the flower shop, she called a horse-drawn carriage and headed to the "Dragon Bar" in the docklands.

She decided to be promoted to "Joy" Witch tonight.

The auxiliary ingredients for the "Pleasure" potion are: 100 ml of pure water, 5 drops of black mandala juice, all the remaining hairs of the Banshee, 10 grams of powder crushed from Fenerport's flies, and 5 grams of real mummy ashes.

Among them, "all the hair left by the Banshee" is one of the small number of spiritual materials left by Qili, although the spiritual light has dimmed slightly, Valeera has no better choice.

She had just bought the black mandala flower, and the remaining two materials were commonly used by village witch doctors, and they could definitely be bought in the underground market.

Things did go as well as Valeera had expected.

It didn't take long for her to find the two materials she needed in the market.

To be careful, she also bought some other spiritual materials as a cover-up.

Valera didn't notice that a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with short white hair, gray eyes, slight stubble on his chin, dark trousers, brown coat, and round-brimmed felt hat, noticed her in the underground market.

During this period, the man also secretly looked at her with a hidden gaze many times.

As Valera rode away, he took advantage of the darkness that had just fallen, and followed the carriage far behind.
