The story of the black silk female knight

"Valenza was nervous just now, probably because she sensed danger."

The last succubus to step down smiled and continued the conversation:

“Very good intuition… I do have something here that is deadly to you, so please don’t touch it.”

"Yes."x2

Valensa and Tia both nodded obediently.

Even if the Dream Witch hadn't warned them, they wouldn't have dared to cause trouble in a Star-level witch's laboratory.

"Some of my materials can't stand sunlight... The light from light-attribute magic crystals won't work either, so I can only use this cold fire for lighting. You'll get used to it gradually."

The dream witch explained again, then walked to a magical artifact and beckoned to Valensa:

"Come on, stand up, let me use this to test you first."

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Zi."

It was a magical device somewhat like the one Valensa used to measure her height and weight in her previous life. After Valensa stood on it, she was quickly enveloped in a layer of shimmering light, and her whole body felt as if it were being gently caressed by an invisible hand.

"Hmm... I was right."

The dream witch stared at the hexagonal crystal disc controlling the magical artifacts for a while, then nodded slightly.

“Besides the power of light, there is indeed a highly corrosive energy in your body... I can’t really determine what kind of energy it is right now, so it seems I’ll have to draw some blood from you.”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal test tube with a capacity of approximately 500 milliliters and handed it to Valensa:

"Will you do it yourself or should I? About half a tube should be enough."

"I'll do it myself."

Somewhat worried that the Dream Witch might use some strange tool to bleed her, Valensa took the crystal test tube and then took out the sharp Dragon Fang Dagger, making a light cut on her forearm.

The blood in the half-tube was quickly drained, and as Valensa handed the crystal tube to the dream witch, the dream witch also handed her a bottle of magic potion:

"Here, this will stop the bleeding and prevent you from having a scar."

"...Thank you, Ms. Zi, but no need."

Upon seeing the potion, Valensa was reminded of Tucker's ordeal... To prevent her own body from undergoing strange changes due to the potion's effects, she politely declined.

"This is a minor injury, there's no need to apply medicine."

The power of her mind enhanced her self-healing, and combined with her already strong self-healing ability after deeply absorbing the power of light, Valensa's wounds stopped bleeding completely within seconds, and the scabs fell off.

Apart from the fact that her newly grown skin was whiter than the surrounding skin, it was almost impossible to tell that she had been injured.

"Oh wow, so this is the power of light in your Baldr family's bloodline? This self-healing speed is almost comparable to the Holy Light of the Church of the Sun..."

The dream witch smiled meaningfully at Valensa and then put the potion away.

"What a cautious young lady... Are you worried that I'll use you as a guinea pig for potions like I did with that young man? Hehehe... You're overthinking it. I'm your teacher, after all. How could I possibly use strange potions on my students?"

No, no, you were just planning to punish the disobedient boys in class with some strange potion, weren't you? x2

Valensa and Tia were silently complaining to each other in their hearts, but their expressions were both very well-behaved.

They all had an attitude of "Teacher, you're right."

After obtaining Valensa's blood, the dream witch took down three small vials from the surrounding shelves. Each vial was transparent, and the liquid inside was a very strange, gradient color that was hard to describe.

However, Valensa, who had done many chemical experiments in her previous life, could probably guess that the liquid in those three small bottles should have a similar effect to some reagents.

Because the dream witch quickly took out three new crystal test tubes, poured a little Valensa's blood into each, and added a few drops of the strangely colored liquid from the small bottle to each.

"emmm..."

As a result, the dream witch's expression became even more curious, and her gaze towards Valensa became quite strange:

"Not human, not a succubus, not a vampire... Interesting. The other half of your bloodline is indeed very interesting."

After she finished speaking, she put all three bottles of liquid back in their original places, opened the cabinet under the shelf, and carefully took out a small plant.

It was a small, white flower with six petals. The fragrance was very faint, but just one whiff of it was refreshing and invigorating.

"Hmph, this flower is extremely rare now, one less and one less, but if we can really confirm that you have that kind of bloodline, it's not a loss at all... Just let me draw some more blood for the experiment, is that okay?"

Before taking action, the Nightmare asked Valensa a question.

"Well... as long as you don't use it for those strange experiments, it's fine."

After a moment's thought, Valensa nodded.

"Then it's settled."

As the dream witch spoke, she dripped Valensa's blood into the flowerpot and nervously observed the reaction of the small white six-petaled flower.

The reaction appeared very quickly.

Under the extremely ugly gaze of the Dream Witch, the six-petaled flower was quickly stained completely black, withered and fell, finally scattering into the air like ashes, leaving no trace behind.

"This...it's actually...how is this possible?"

Chapter 36 Do you want to see rivers of blood and the earth burning?

The test results seemed quite unexpected.

The Nightmare remained frozen like a wax figure for a long while before taking a few deep breaths and looking at Valensa with a very complicated gaze.

Valensa felt a little uneasy under her scrutiny.

"Um... Ms. Zi? Have you figured out what my other half of the bloodline is?"

"..."

The dream witch did not answer, but remained silent for a while before asking in return:

What is your view of this world?

"?"

Valensa was a little confused. Why did things suddenly turn philosophical?

But all she could answer was:

"I don't watch it much... Although there are a lot of dangerous monsters and natural disasters, there are also a lot of delicious food and beautiful girls. Overall, it's pretty good."

"..."

The Dream Witch offered no comment on the answer, remaining silent for a moment before continuing her question:

"When you're bored or angry, do you ever have that urge to destroy everything? Do you ever want to see the earth burning and rivers of blood flowing?"

"?"

Valensa was even more puzzled:

"Why would I have such thoughts? Could it be that the source of the other half of my bloodline... is some kind of extremely evil entity?"

"...I don't know, or rather, I can't be sure."

The dream witch's eyes flickered for a moment, then she finally shook her head:

"But it must be an extremely evil, corrupting, and destructive power, no doubt about it... probably like the kind of world-destroying demon king in adventure novels... This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"Ah this..."

Valensa and Tia looked at each other, both somewhat dumbfounded.

They originally thought that Valensa's mother's bloodline was that of a witch or a dark creature, but now it seems that it may be even more powerful.

Perhaps the difficulty of tracing Valensa's mother's lineage is no less than the difficulty of investigating the truth behind that incident...

"In short, it's fortunate that her bloodline hasn't awakened yet, and it's best if it doesn't."

The Nightmare looked at Tia and Valensa very seriously:

"This power is too sinister... It's extremely dangerous even for us witches."

I suggest you go to the Church of the Sun and find some powerful priests to use divine magic to completely seal that bloodline power... This is for your own happiness.”

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Zi." x2

Valensa and Tia nodded together.

"Um... there's one more thing."

The Nightmare looked at Valensa again:

Have you been feeling very hungry lately? Or do you feel like everything looks like food and you want to eat it?

If so, please consider my advice very carefully... that would likely be a sign that a dangerous bloodline within you is about to awaken.

Valensa's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the feeling she had when she met that seemingly Sun-level giant fish through Tia's secret technique, "Encounter of Fate."

But she reacted even faster, immediately using her mental power to forcibly control her body's reactions, and smiled nonchalantly at the dream witch:

"Thank you for reminding me, Teacher Zi. I've been eating quite little lately; one fish is enough to fill me up."

"Is it?"

The Nightmare gave Valensa a deep look:

"Anyway, I've already warned you, so you should know what I'm talking about... That's about all I know about the unknown bloodline in your body. I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"No, no, no... Teacher Zi, you have already helped us a lot."

Valensa quickly waved her hand; this wasn't just a polite remark.

Although the dream witch was unable to detect what the other half of Valensa's bloodline was, she did help her rule out the possibilities of a witch, a succubus, or a vampire.

"correct."

Valensa then rolled up her sleeves and drew her Dragon Fang short sword:

"I have nothing to thank you for, Teacher Zi... How about I let you bleed a little more?"

"This... let's just forget it."

It's clear that the dream witch was actually quite tempted, but ultimately shook her head.

"The power in your blood is too dangerous, I'm afraid I can't control it... It would be terrible if I messed around with experiments and created some uncontrollable danger... If you really want to thank me, then come over once in a while and cook me something delicious."

"That's no problem, of course."

Valensa nodded quickly and smiled:

"I'm very happy that you like my craftsmanship, Ms. Zi."

After exchanging a few more polite words, Valensa and Tia concluded their visit and left the Dream Witch's villa.

It was almost dark by then, and most of the students had gone back to their dorm rooms to rest. Valensa and Tia walked silently in the night, neither of them saying a word.

Only when the girls' dormitory of the conducting department was in sight did Tia take Valensa's hand and softly comfort her, saying:

"Don't overthink it... Even if your other half of your bloodline is truly evil, I believe you can definitely control that bloodline power completely."

Regardless of your aunt's past identity, haven't she always been gentle and kind since marrying your uncle? She even gave birth to you and Elena, two children.

"It's one thing if others don't know, but Valencia, you're my own daughter. A mother's heart is connected to her daughter's. Did you think all the love I gave you over the past ten years was fake?"

"……You're right."

Valensa immediately grasped Tia's hand in return, but as if that wasn't enough, she pulled Tia into a tight embrace, holding her close.

"I believe that power itself is neither good nor evil... Perhaps my mother's identity is indeed special, but she is definitely not a bad person!"

"Yes, it's good that you think that way."

Tia breathed a slight sigh of relief, then hesitated for a moment:

"However, this gives me some clues about what happened back then."

"Oh?"

Valensa quickly looked into Tia's eyes:

"What guess?"

"If Auntie is truly some kind of special being with great power, then the Church of the Sun certainly wouldn't be unaware of her situation... and what happened back then was very likely the result of some people with ulterior motives coveting the power within Auntie."

Tia analyzed:

“My father was definitely a core member of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Fran, but even in his study there was no trace of what happened back then… I think it’s unlikely that the royal family was responsible for blocking the news; it’s most likely the Church of the Sun.”
