"This is my special 'hair growth potion'."

Valeera held the pale pink potion in her left hand and said with a smile: "Benson, I prepared this specially for you."

"Drink this potion and you will look at least five years younger."

Benson's eyes were filled with doubt, "Is it really so magical?"

"Absolutely," Klein nodded hesitantly and added, "Valeela's potions are very effective, but they have weird side effects."

"Is it serious?" Benson asked again.

"It should be... not bad," Klein thought for a moment, "I think you can give it a try."

Valeera handed the potion to Melissa next to her, and she handed it to Benson across the table.

Tons tons tons.

Out of trust in his brother and Valeera, Benson drank the potion in one breath.

"It tastes a bit sour." He slapped his mouth.

Afterwards, the four of them sat at the dining table and chatted for a while.

Looking at Valeera's smile, Benson suddenly felt his nose itching, and then a stream of heat came out of his nostrils.

He stretched out his hand and found that he had a lot of nosebleeds.

"Damn, I'm turning into a curly baboon in heat."

He stood up and rushed to the public washroom on the first floor, "Sorry, I have to go to the washroom."

At the dinner table, Klein put his hand to his lips to cover up the crazily raised corners of his mouth; Melissa looked at Valeera with a strange look.

She felt that this good-looking older sister was somewhat similar to her good friend Selena, and both liked to tinker with mysterious things.

Of course, although she didn't like it, she wasn't disgusted with the occult.



East End, Olsner Street.

In a single-family house with a garden.

The young Baron Huoyin dismissed the servants and entered the bedroom of his stepmother, Lady Sharon.

Thick carpets, spacious space, velvet quilt covers, many furnishings inlaid with gold threads, etc., all items reflect the luxury of the owner's home.

Sharon was sitting on the edge of the bed, combing her long brown hair in front of a silver-plated full-length mirror.

She has moist brown eyes, arched eyebrows, straight nose and delicate lips. Although she is over thirty years old, she still exudes amazing charm.

Taking a deep breath of the alluring fragrance in the room, the young Baron Huo Yin felt the heat in his heart, walked quickly to Mrs. Sharon's bed, and hugged her slender waist.

He took out a narrow-mouthed glass bottle from his arms as if offering a treasure, which contained a pale yellow potion, and said:

"Sharon, this is a gadget I got recently. It is said that it can enhance the interest in that area. Let's try it?"

Mrs. Sharon opened the glass bottle and smelled it, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but this was not noticed by the young Baron Huoyin because he was busy moving his hands.

"Where did you get it?" asked Mrs. Sharon.

"It's a friend of mine." The young Baron Huoyin rested his chin on Mrs. Sharon's round shoulder. "He said he bought it from a student at Huoyin University."



"He also said that she is a very beautiful female student, but I think she is not as beautiful as you."

After hearing the news, Mrs. Sharon's eyes sharpened for a moment.

Then, she twisted her body and brought the bottle of potion to her stepson's mouth.

"Drink it, let's try it."



On the Wednesday after the move, that is, the night of April 18, Valeera went to the underground trading market of the "Evil Dragon Bar" again.

This time, she was lucky enough to find the "Witch's Book" at a stall selling occult books.

It looks like an ancient book, with a dark black cardboard cover and the words "Book of Witches" written on it in Hermes.

Valeera flipped through a few pages, confirmed that it was correct, and bought it together with another standard-printed "Astrology Manual."

This time she didn't stay in the trading market for too long, and she didn't encounter the "monster" Admissor.

When he returned home, Benson, who was originally in the living room sharing the gas light with Klein and Melissa, ran back to his room on the second floor as soon as he heard the sound of Valli opening the door.

Because the side effects of the "hair growth potion" are still there.

Within a week, whenever he saw a beautiful young lady, his blood would surge and his nose would bleed.

Because of this side effect, he has made several jokes in the company, and every time he feels like he is being burned on the rack.

However, the hair growth effect of the potion is indeed good.

On his forehead, where thick black hair once grew, there were now thin tips.

Although she was reading the "Book of Witches" in her mind, Valeera stayed in the living room to complete her homework first. After Klein and Melissa went back to the room to rest, she went to the kitchen to cook two "weight loss potions." Then he went back to his room upstairs.

She has dark vision, and reading without lights does not affect her reading.

"The Book of Witches" looks very thick, but because the pages are old and thick, it actually doesn't contain much.

About half of the pages in front of it record various curse spells and their usage techniques.

This includes both curses that achieve various effects, such as direct damage, creating visual and auditory hallucinations, causing pain, restricting behaviors, etc.; it also includes various ways to achieve curses, such as using spiritual numbers, mirror images, blood, and even Personal belongings, etc.

Among them, Valeera paid special attention to curses that restricted movement.

This should be the curse used by the Witch Sect to restrict members.

Of course, what is recorded in this book should only be basic spells with the same principles.

The second half of this book records several ritual magics, and most of them are large-scale rituals that enhance curses.

In the original work, Triss used one of them——

Collect the "lives" of dying people and transform their remaining spirits into "shadows", thereby greatly increasing the range and power of the curse.

This is a ritual that can be completed without praying to the "Original Witch", because the power of the amplified curse comes from the "shadows" trapped in the altar.

Valeera speculated that the reason for the invention of this ritual may be related to the fact that at the end of the Fourth Age, after the "Pale Catastrophe", the "Original Witch" was severely damaged and no longer responded to prayers.

In recent years, the original witch has gradually recovered. In addition to this kind of ritual, praying to her can also achieve similar effects.

This was the method Qili used when contacting her.

Of course, for Valeela, she would not use these two types of rituals.

This "Book of Witches" is more valuable to her than the first half.

The knowledge on it not only allows her to improve her strength, but is also the key to unlocking the shackles of the Witch Sect on her body.

Because it was too important, Valeela was not willing to destroy the book.

After burning it with black flame, she put it together with the self-written "family history" note.
