Valilla had to admit that the recipe for the Potion of Despair was a rather precious gift, but personally, she found it a glaring gift.

It's just a pot that can't be opened!

She looked at Crane's sincere smile, a smile of surprise and just the right amount of excitement on her face, and her eyes seemed to glow:

"Thank you, I love this surprise!"

In the red firelight, Valeera smiled like a flower.

Crane was almost stunned, and it took a few seconds for him to react, pick up the black tea that had been placed on the coffee table, block it in front of him, and take a few big sips.

When the embarrassment eased a little, he looked at the beautiful woman next to him again and persuaded seriously:

"Valeera, Sequence 4 is the threshold of demigods and demihumans, you must not underestimate the difficulty and danger of promotion...... Promise me not to risk any more potions that aren't fully digested, okay?

"Your last promotion was already dangerous."

"I know." Valera nodded.

Unless it was an extreme situation, she wouldn't have considered promoting to the Witch of Despair at all, nor would she underestimate the difficulty of being promoted to a demigod, and of course there would be no situation that Crane feared.

She would have chosen to be forcibly promoted, in the hope that she would be able to rely on her higher status after promotion to suppress her strongly, and in reverse increase her digestion of the "pleasure" characteristics in her body.

This approach has proven to work, but only marginally.

Not only did she not be able to increase the digestibility of the "Pleasure" trait she had originally absorbed, but she also absorbed two more new ones, greatly increasing the difficulty of her promotion to demigod.

Crane believed that Valilla would not mess around, and instead of nagging repeatedly, he immediately threw out the reasonable argument that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"I've made a wish a long time ago to repay you for your kindness to me...... It wasn't until a few days ago that I sacrificed a few pages of my diary that I had recently collected, and I finally accumulated enough contributions to be given a gift, and I saw a page of the "Witch" card."

Relying on the Joker's abilities, Crane did his best to control his expression, looking at Valeera's graceful silhouette.

Although these few sentences are simple, with simple reasoning, it is easy to fill in the blanks.

As soon as Valeera heard this, she understood what Crane meant.

She didn't debunk it either, and after thinking about it for a while, she changed the topic very cooperatively, and sighed:

"Sure enough, that card was indeed the "Witch" card, and I was not mistaken."

As the weakest of the "fools", I shouldn't know the whole story...... A thought flashed in Crane's heart, and he showed a curious look, and asked:

"You've seen the Witch card, when?"

Valilla glanced at Crane and recounted a story with a big smile - from seeing the "Queens of Spades" card in Audrey's hand, to finally developing Audrey into a member of the "Tarot Club", including the appropriate psychological changes in the process.

"I had thought of trading this contribution for recipe ......," Valera finally said, "but something happened to you, so I had to give it a try."

"I see." Crane felt like he knew more about Valeera.

He took a few more sips of black tea, and after clearing his thoughts, he said in a speculative tone:

"So...... According to the "principle of equal exchange", will that card still be the property of Miss Justice? Maybe you can find a way to make a deal with her?"

This is actually what he wants to do.

It's just that because of the "principle of equivalent exchange", as a poor "fool", he is restricted by his own rules and can only "keep it on his behalf".

What Crane meant, Valilla understood as soon as she heard it.

Even if you've already made up your mind to switch to the "Hunter" route, if you can get the "Witch" card in your hand, you should still go for it.

Now, there is the "Fool."

She believed that there was indeed a possibility of a deal between herself and Audrey.

Valera thought carefully for a moment, and finally sighed softly:

"There's some truth to what you're saying, I can find a way to verify it first...... But even if you're right, I don't have the capital to trade right now."

The two were speechless for a while.

After a short moment, Valeera broke the silence by speaking:

"Crane, do you know what the adjacent path of the 'Witch' sequence is?"

She plans to get a preventive shot first, so as to pave the way for her "may" (definitely) "become" (turn back) into a man in the future.

"I don't know." Crane shook his head, his gaze visibly curious.

Valilla had already restrained her smile at this time, exhaled faintly, and said slowly:

"It's the Hunter.

"The high-order formula of this path is mainly in the hands of the two families of Sauron and Einhorn, as well as the secret organization of the Predator-Blooded Cross, and the medium and low sequences are relatively widespread."

Speaking of which, Valera met Crane's gaze and pointed out the key points with a feminine mentality and tone:

"There's a feature, or drawback, to this sequence...... The high-level people of this path are all men."

Crane froze.

There is a precedent for the "witch" path, and he still doesn't understand the true meaning of Valeera's words.

At this time, he suddenly recalled his thoughts when he first unlocked the seal of the "Witch" card-

"I don't know what the adjacent path of the "witch" is, whether it will be normal, maybe it would be a better choice for Valera to switch to the adjacent path......

How so? It's too pit!

No, no, no, how can this work, absolutely not!

How did Valera get on such a pit? Continuing to be promoted in the "Witch" sequence will harm others and harm oneself, and changing to "Hunter" will change gender......

For a moment, Crane felt like his head was in a mess.

Valera had been paying attention to Crane's reaction, and seeing his changing look, she couldn't help but say something reassuring:

"Now you know how happy I am to see the surprise you have prepared, right?"

……

More than ten minutes later.

In the living room alone, Crane got up to pack up his teacups and went to the kitchen to clean up, his ears still echoing Valeera's words before leaving.

Alas, wasn't her previous goal to revitalize the family? How can you be so obsessed with the ascension sequence? Could it really be that the Vicky family is a hidden branch of the Tamara family, the former angel family, as I guessed?

At the same time, Valera was hiding her figure, carrying a canvas package, and was speeding towards the North District.

In the time leading up to leaving, she found some other reason to show Crane her determination to ascend to the angelic ranks.

She didn't say it explicitly, but presumably Crane understood what she meant—

If necessary, it is also acceptable for you to switch to the "Hunter" route.
