Chapter 55: The Last Supper

After parting with Mr. Azik, Valeera couldn't help but wonder about the origin of the conversation.

Is this simply a natural development, or is there another thrust?

If so, who?

Valilla quickly stopped thinking about it, because the water was too deep for her to grasp.

Azik is the resurrection hand left by the "Hades Emperor" Salinger, and the most fundamental reason why he will lose his memory again and again and restart his life is that he was divided by the "Hades Emperor" and took half of his soul.

This is a bad thing, but it can also be said to be a good thing.

It is in this life that Azik gradually transforms, from the cold "Archon of Death" to the gentle middle-aged man he is now.

Of course, such a change must also be related to the influence exerted by the other two giant elders-

Amanises, the "goddess of the night", and Adam, the "angel of fantasy".

It was precisely because her thoughts began to drift over the one-eyed "janitor" and the quill, and there were signs of drifting towards the two giants, that Valeera hastily stopped thinking about it.

I went back to the classroom and waited for a while, and when the rest of us had gone to the upstairs office, everyone went downstairs together for the final process of graduation.

Photograph.

More than 30 instructors, faculty, lecturers, and students stood in front of the three-story gray stone building belonging to the history department, and a photographer invited by the school took a group photo.

After this photo is developed, it will be annotated, and together with the student materials, it will be put into the file room for proper preservation, and it will become a part of the history of Huo Yin University.

After the photo was taken, the campus was a thing of the past for this group of young people.

On the way back to Daffodil Street, Crane finally gets a chance and asks a question.

"Valeera, which school did you get a letter of recommendation from your tutor?"

This was what he wanted to ask, and it was also the question that his mentor had told him to ask.

At that time, in the office, after Quentin Cohen encouraged him, he briefly talked about Valeera's transfer, revealing a key piece of information in Crane's opinion-

Valilla was originally a student at Storme University in East Chestershire.

Just as he was still wondering why his mentor was mentioning this, Quentin Cohen smiled and laid out three letters of recommendation and asked him to choose only two of them.

If it had been before, Crane would have chosen the University of Tingen and the University of Beckland.

But, distracted by new information, he hesitated.

He didn't hesitate for long.

Soon, he gave up the Beckland University share and put the other two in his pocket in a cheap formal suit.

Quentin Cohen didn't comment on his choice, but reached out and patted his forearm hanging by his side, and said:

"As a final suggestion, you can take the time to ask Valilla where she got her letter of recommendation."

Crane had a vague understanding, but he wasn't clear enough.

It wasn't until he listened to the discussion of his classmates in the classroom about where he would go after graduation that he fully understood his mentor's advice.

……

Hearing Crane's question, Valera stopped.

It's not a bad idea to make it clear here...... With this in mind, she sorted out the language in her mind a little, and replied:

"It's the University of Beckland and the University of Tingen."

As soon as Crane heard that there was a University of Tingen, the joy in his heart was like a balloon, rapidly expanding and filling his heart.

But, before he could show his joy, Valeera continued.

"Crane, I'm going to Beckland tomorrow."

The balloon named "Joy" in his heart suddenly burst, and Crane suddenly felt empty in his heart.

"Why?" He asked.

Valera didn't feel good either...... If nothing else, she will never see this Creen again.

Although their acquaintance was the result of her deliberate planning, ...... The process of getting along is not all fake.

She could feel Crane's sincerity and sincerity.

But, between them is impossible.

Valera does not forget that "he" is a man...... He is Varina Attano.

She had no choice but to follow through on her original idea.

"Crane, just as you have to help your brother and sister, I have similar difficulties to solve."

"Let's look to the future," Valera smiled as she looked into Crane's brown eyes, "and when you and I have all sorted out our problems, I hope I'll see you in Beckland." ”

These words were like the summer sun in the sky, and Crane's heart was filled with hope and enthusiasm again.

"I promise you, I will!" Crane replied forcefully.

For the rest of the journey, Crane said little.

Before going home, the two also went to the nearby market and bought some ingredients to go back.

By the time Melissa returned from school, Valeera had almost prepared dinner; Before Benson returned from work, the two brought their prepared dinner to the table.

Bacon, mashed potatoes, pan-fried fish, oyster soup, and a large vegetable smorgasbord, served with a plate of steamed rye bread and a small tub of ginger beer.

"Today's dinner was so generous...... That's right, it's time for a little more hearty. ”

After returning from work, Benson hung up his top hat and dress jacket at the door, came to the table, took a deep breath of fragrant air, and continued with a smile:

"Congratulations on your graduation!"

Just by looking at the expression, he knew the result.

During the meal of four men and one dog, Valilla revealed her intention to go to Beckland, repeating what she had said to Crane before.

Melissa and Benson's expressions were also visibly disappointed, but they still respected Valeera's decision.

After dinner, the four of them and one dog gathered in the living room as usual.

With no homework to do, Crane was a little unaccustomed to it.

After a short period of confusion, he found his notebook and wrote on a new page:

"On June 18th, I graduated. Farewell, my Huo Yin University! ”

After that, he hesitated, but put the notes back away and looked at the other three.

Benson reads the newspaper while Valilla whispers math and mechanics with Melissa.

After Crane and Harpy on the ground shook hands for a while, Melissa's homework was done.

Each of the four went back to their rooms.

In his room, Crane pulled out his notebook again, and continued what he had written before:

"Valera is leaving, and I have a lot to say, but I can't say a single one."

"I wanted to beg her to stay, but I knew that I shouldn't be so selfish......"

“…… I will definitely overcome the difficulties and go to Beckland to find her! ”

After putting the notebook in the drawer of his desk, he lay down on the bed to rest, but he couldn't sleep.

……

Back in her room, Valera lay down on the bed.

After learning from Mr. Azik that a witch was tracking her, she felt a lot less pressure in her heart.

After all, a definite fact only brings constant pressure, high or low; But the fear of the unknown knows no limit.

After sleeping for a while, Valera suddenly woke up.

Someone broke into her room!

Strangely, the invisible silk thread she arranged had obviously been touched, but the Harpy lying on the side of the bed did not move.

Valeera opened her eyes and carefully surveyed the room.

Soon she discovers the intruder who has snuck into her room in the middle of the night.
