The story of the black silk female knight

Tia said seriously:

"Unlike sages like my teacher who spend most of their time on spiritual practice and research, that old fellow Vincent is also very good at cultivating worldly power and reputation."

He established many orphanages and schools in America, and would distribute living supplies to poor families free of charge during holidays. He was a well-known philanthropist.

Don't tell me that our suspicions about his connection to a cult are just speculation. Even if we had solid evidence, it would be difficult to bring him down through reporting or similar means. It would be best to...

"I know."

Valensa smiled and nodded, then made a knife gesture with her hand:

"Once we become stronger, we'll deal with him directly... So, Tia, do you know what level that old guy is at now? Star Glory or Moon Glory?"

"Well..."

Tia thought for a moment:

"On the surface, he's still a Star Glory, but I reckon he's probably just pretending. He's from the same era as my teacher, and my teacher advanced to Moon Glory eighty years ago. Even if he's a little short, he shouldn't still be struggling to break through now, right?"

“That makes sense, so it’s best if we don’t provoke him right now… If you happen to run into him again at the Sage’s Tower, you must pretend you know nothing,” Valensa said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I'm quite confident in my acting skills."

Tia chuckled softly, then frowned slightly:

"But if we're not mistaken, he'll definitely still be thinking about you, and he might even deliberately try to run into me at the Sage's Tower to find out about you."

Given my status, he shouldn't dare to attack me inside the Sage's Tower. But if I keep giving him vague information, won't it arouse his suspicion?

“Then you should tell him some information that others don’t know… After all, it’s no secret that we have a good relationship, and it would be easy for you to arouse suspicion if you didn’t know anything,” Valensa said.

"You want me to deceive him with false information?"

Tia, however, was somewhat insecure:

"That's probably difficult. Strong people can usually see through the lies of the weak..."

"Then just give him the real information, of course, incomplete real information."

Valensa smiled, her eyes narrowed:

"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying... that the truth, when it conceals some information, is often more likely to lead people astray than a lie."

Anyway, your next trip to the Sage's Tower won't be for at least a few months, so there's no rush... We have plenty of time to discuss how to deal with him.

"Too."

Tia nodded, inspired by Valensa's confidence, and became confident as well:

“I could even take this opportunity to test him and see if he really knows about your evil god bloodline.”

"Hmm... Just handle it yourself, but it's always better to be cautious."

In short, Valensa and Tia decided to refrain from provoking Vincent, a sage who was likely involved with a cult, and to settle accounts with him later when they had developed their own strength.

After discussing the bloodline of the evil god and Vincent, Valensa gathered her thoughts and continued to tell Tia about the investigation mission she had received and her experience at the dimensional hardware store.

Regarding the investigation into the anonymous purchase of prohibited materials at the War Academy, Tia's approach was similar to Valensa's; both believed that the focus should be on investigating students who had chosen necromancy, and that it would also be necessary to visit the newly hired dream witch.

As for the Dimensional Hardware Store, there were many concepts that Valensa couldn't explain to Tia, so she used the same explanation as before, saying that it was a place where she could become stronger, and only the chosen ones could enter.

However, Valensa told Tia the whole truth about how to enter the Dimensional Hardware Store from Pink Rose, and that the Dimensional Hardware Store has entrances in most towns, but the way to enter is very strange.

"...So, if you want to get there from the capital, you have to go to Pink Rose?"

Tia snorted in annoyance and pinched Valensa's waist hard again:

"I really can't do anything with you, you idiot... Alright, I'll tell them to reserve room 305 for you on your days off, so you can go there anytime."

"Hehe, I knew Tia was the best! Mua~~"

Valensa then hugged Tia and kissed her, revealing an even more ingratiating expression:

"There's one more thing I need your help with, Tia... Are you short of money right now? I might need you to help me buy some expensive things."

"Something expensive?"

Tia raised an eyebrow:

"What good equipment have you got your eye on this time? Tell me... I've taken over quite a bit of the family business since last year, so I've made a little money."

“It’s not equipment, it’s a storage device… I want to buy a large-capacity one, the kind that needs to be custom-made,” Valensa said.

"Space storage items?"

Tia looked puzzled. She glanced around, then raised her hand and pointed to the storage bag that had been placed on the chair along with Valensa's dress:

"Didn't I just buy you one when we went shopping with Ms. Diana? A full 10 cubic meters of space, isn't that enough for you? Do you have that many things to carry around?"

"I'm not using it myself; I'm planning to exchange it for something better..."

Valensa rubbed against Tia's arm a couple more times:

"Listen to me, this time at the Land of Chance, I made a new friend..."

Chapter 88 As long as you're fat in the right places...

"A friend from another world? Is she... really reliable?"

After hearing Valensa's general description of Vie, Tia was somewhat uneasy:

"The Sage's Tower has records of contact with people from other worlds... There was once a magician who tried to trade knowledge with a civilization from another world, but he was ripped off badly and almost triggered a large-scale invasion from another world."

Finally, it was only through the combined efforts of the five sages that the connection between the two sides was completely severed… Since then, the Sage Council has had a clear rule prohibiting cultivators in the Sage Tower from making unauthorized contact with otherworldly civilizations.

"I don't think Wei is a bad person."

Valensa first shared her feelings, then analyzed the situation:

"Moreover, neither Wei nor I have the technology to cross worlds on our own. Our ability to communicate and trade relies entirely on the rules of that place of opportunity itself. There is no need to worry about an invasion from another world."

Most importantly, the civilization in Vi's world is completely different from ours, and there are many weapons there whose effects are beyond our imagination.

If we encounter an enemy we absolutely cannot defeat with our current strength, those weapons from another world might just be the key to victory.

"A trump card to turn the tide at crucial moments... Hmm, you can never have too many of these."

Tia finally nodded:

"Okay, I'll gather some working capital recently and have a high-quality storage device custom-made for you for trading."

"Yay, I knew Tia was the best!"

Valensa happily hugged Tia again, rubbing against her and kissing her all over.

Storage items are actually quite common in this world.

Its manufacturing technique is not complicated; any mage with a little spatial talent can make it.

The cheapest storage items, with a capacity of only about 1 cubic meter, generally cost between 20 and 40 gold coins, with the main differences being the brand and the artistic quality of the appearance.

Based on the calculation that 1 gold coin is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 300 yuan in Valensa's previous life, the value of this ordinary space storage item is about the same as that of a computer, which is affordable for ordinary people.

However, as the capacity increases, the price of storage items also increases exponentially, and the larger the capacity, the more difficult it is to make, and the higher the price increase.

Valencia's current storage magic bag has a capacity of 10 cubic meters, but its price is far more than 10 times that of a storage bag with a capacity of 1 cubic meter, but nearly 100 times. It costs 3000 gold coins, which is almost equivalent to the price of a sports car in her previous life.

This is only a 10-cubic-meter capacity, barely enough to fit a close-in weapon system with a 3-meter-long barrel and a 1.5-meter-high mount.

The storage space that Wei wanted, capable of holding fighter jets and tanks, was priced similarly to a luxury villa in a first-tier city in Valencia's previous life. Even for a wealthy woman like Tia, it wasn't something she could just buy on a whim.

Because nobles and the wealthy are actually quite similar in any world; a large portion of their wealth consists of fixed assets, while the proportion of real liquid assets is very small.

In short, given Valensa's current financial situation, she really wouldn't be able to get what Vi wanted without Tia's help.

Valensa also had some guesses about why Wei was so eager for storage items.

According to Wei, she spent nearly 50 times to guarantee a high reward.

However, Wei's personal strength doesn't seem very strong, even weaker than Valensa's at the moment, and she doesn't seem like a transmigrator with nearly 50 powerful support systems.

This must be related to the world Wei lives in.

Just like Valencia had never drawn firearms or other firearms before, and most of the equipment she drew was melee weapons and magical jewelry, the good things Vi will draw will most likely be technological products.

Many technological weapons are incredibly powerful, but they are also inconvenient to carry around. This is probably why Wei urgently needs a space storage item.

Furthermore, given that Vi specifically mentioned wanting a storage device that could hold fighter jets or tanks, it's not hard to deduce that Vi's true trump card is some kind of vehicle-type weapon.

If we can meet Vie's request, she should be able to bring out something truly good... like a briefcase that can easily destroy a town, which is exactly what Valensa wants.

As Valencia prepared for the worst, the closer she got to the truth of what happened three years ago, the more dangerous the enemy she was facing became.

Just because she doesn't want to provoke those powerful enemies before reaching the Shining Rank doesn't mean those powerful enemies won't actively seek trouble for her.

In the common sense of this world, it is impossible for those below the Radiant Rank to fight against those of the Radiant Rank, but what if they use weapons from another world?

The more trump cards you have, the better.

. . . . .

Whispering until midnight and then falling asleep in each other's arms left the girls feeling exceptionally languid the next morning.

Awakened by the morning light shining on her face, Valensa only opened one eye, yawned, and gave Tia a quick kiss on the cheek before closing her eyes again to continue sleeping.

"Wake up, get up!"

But Tia sat up abruptly and forcefully shook Valensa awake as well.

"What's wrong?"

Valensa stretched lazily, making her curvaceous figure even more alluring in the gentle morning sunlight.

"It's a day off today, why don't you sleep in a little longer?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep...all you do is sleep!"

Tia rolled her eyes at Valensa, then couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching Valensa through her thin nightgown.

"If you're too lazy, you might get fat, and then you won't have this great figure anymore."

"Gaining weight is impossible~~"

Valensa smiled without any concern:

"I'm a female knight, after all, and I get a lot of exercise every day... On the contrary, Tia, you just read books all day and don't exercise at all. Be careful you don't get fat!"

But gaining weight isn't a big deal, as long as you gain weight in the right places, it'll make you even more attractive... Hehe, or let me check and see if you've gained weight again, Tia~~"

As she spoke, she lunged at Tia, intending to touch her, but was mercilessly kicked off the bed by the small white-stockinged foot.

"Making a fool of yourself so early in the morning, what a shameless idiot, humph!"

Tia rolled her eyes at Valensa, then jumped out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.

"Stop daydreaming, hurry up and get ready to go out."

"Oh~~"

Valensa then got up from the ground and wrapped her arms around Tia's waist from behind:

"Honey, have you made plans for today?"

"Who's your darling? Don't call me that!"

Tia's face flushed instantly, and she stepped on Valensa's foot again before saying irritably:

"Have you forgotten our promise to Ms. Diana? We broke our promise last weekend, so we should at least go this weekend, right?"

And didn't you also want a large-capacity storage item? Those aren't things you can just buy with money… so today we're going to visit an alchemy master.”

Chapter 89 Why do you carry other women's clothes with you?

When we arrived at Ms. Dinah's shop and workshop, the magical weaving master from the industrial country of America was at work.

She was a far cry from her lazy and listless demeanor when we first met. Sweat poured down her face as she waved her arms incessantly, like a conductor manipulating various materials and dyes with magic, blending them together in mid-air to create a bold and alluring purple lace lingerie piece.

After examining the new product several times to ensure it was free of defects, Ms. Diana packaged it and hung it on the wall of her shop for sale.

After finishing all this, Ms. Dinah wiped the sweat from her brow and greeted Valensa and Tia, who had been waiting in chairs for about ten minutes:

"Oh, you guys are here? I thought you were coming last weekend. I was busy all night making you black pantyhose, and you only came this weekend?"

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Diana, Tia and I were both held up last week."
