The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa originally planned to turn it into a Noble Phantasm after advancing to the Star Rank, but now it seems that she can revive this equipment ahead of schedule.

In her past life, Valensa thought the shield of a certain Gundam heroine was really cool when she watched anime, and she had always wanted to get one for herself. Now she finally had the chance.

In her room, Valensa took out the blue potion and the six-part alloy shield, and began to use them according to Suzuran's previous instructions.

The process went smoothly, and the method provided by Lily of the Valley was very reliable.

As the blue potion took full effect, Valensa quickly felt a connection between the six fan-shaped alloy shield fragments and herself, as if they were part of her body.

It is as flexible to operate as your hands and feet.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Fan-shaped fragments of the alloy shield flew rapidly through the room, leaving streaks of cold light in their wake.

Then it quickly converged at Valensa's arm, precisely merging into one, once again transforming into the sturdy shield that had once helped Valensa block countless attacks.

A shield that can separate and reassemble itself is so cool!

Valensa's eyes lit up.

I've personally tried out the controls and they feel great. Next, I'll test the combat performance.

She left the room and went to the back of the dormitory building.

"go with!"

With a soft shout, Valencia's alloy shield on her right arm split into six again, transforming into six sharp fan-shaped blades that flew into the forest.

Dancing wildly, weaving through the air.

Although it is no match for the Dragon Fang Short Sword, the physical properties of the Round Shield Alloy are by no means weak, and are even superior to most high-quality enchanted weapons.

Conventional armor is simply no match for such sharpness, and neither are trees.

Many trees in the grove were easily cut down by the fan-shaped alloy, and the cuts were very smooth, like tofu being cut by a cleaver.

It wasn't until the fan-shaped alloy had flown about 500 meters away that Valensa began to feel a little strained from continuing to control it. She retrieved the fan-shaped alloy and reassembled it into a round shield on her right arm.

Judging from the current situation, Valensa is actually quite satisfied with the reborn alloy round shield, but she is still a little unsatisfied and wants to improve it again.

While the current alloy round shield is flexible and capable of both offense and defense, neither its offensive nor defensive capabilities have yet exceeded the physical performance limits of its alloy.

If you encounter a divine weapon like the Dragon Fang Short Sword again, you'll still be easily defeated.

It would be great if the intensity could be increased further.

This wasn't just a wild idea from Valensa; it was based on a practical plan.

Since this alloy shield, under the influence of the potion, carries a portion of Valensa's mental energy, it can be said to have become a part of Valensa's body... Could it be strengthened with mental power? Or even used to unleash offensive divine spells?

Give it a try.

To be on the safe side, Valensa did not manipulate all the fan-shaped alloys at once, but only controlled one of them to float in front of her, and concentrated on imagining.

She imagined the fan-shaped alloy as her own hand blade, and by continuously channeling her mental energy, she imagined that her hand blade would be faster and stronger.

efficient!

Valensa could clearly feel that her mental power was beginning to take effect, but it consumed a little more energy than when she used it to strengthen herself, probably about five times more.

After all, it's not her real body; it can only be considered a partial equivalent, roughly equivalent to an external expansion device for a laptop.

But it's perfectly usable!

Whoosh!

Valensa didn't move her body; she simply imagined herself unleashing a full-force chop with her hand, and the fan-shaped alloy shot out like a cannonball, even sparking with electricity as it rubbed against the air at an extremely high speed.

boom!

This time, the trees hit by the fan-shaped alloy were not just cut in half, but were shattered in the middle as if they had been bombarded head-on by an electromagnetic cannon.

well.

Valensa's eyes were full of satisfaction. She let out a long breath and controlled the fan-shaped alloy that had been shot far away to return to her side.

If mental power can be used... then what about divine magic?

Condensing holy light outside the body and then controlling it with mental power to launch an attack is quite difficult for Valensa, who has almost no magical talent, but it is not a problem for her to directly launch divine spells through her own body.

Let's keep trying.

Valensa controlled six fan-shaped alloys to unfold behind her and began to gather holy light, wanting the fan-shaped alloys to fire holy light projectiles like floating cannons.

The idea was wonderful, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

Valensa didn't know why, perhaps it was like a mismatch between the external hardware drivers on a laptop, but she was able to input holy light into the fan-shaped alloy, but she couldn't continue to control the flow of holy light within the fan-shaped alloy to launch divine attacks.

She also tried praying to the sun goddess, hoping that the sun goddess would favor her again and help her solve this problem with a miracle.

But the sun goddess was probably preoccupied with another woman at that time and ignored her.

Valensa had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​using the fan-shaped alloy as a floating cannon and just use it as a detachable shield and flying blade for now.

"sister."

Valensa was about to go back to her room after the experiment when she encountered Thousand Leaf Grass.

"The principal wants to speak with you; he says he needs to assign you summer homework."

Chapter 226 Summer Homework

Few students dare to directly refuse assignments personally given by the principal.

After receiving the news from Chiba, Valensa tidied her slightly disheveled clothes from training and went straight to the principal's office.

Besides the still-reeking bald man in the office, there was also a stunningly beautiful woman, none other than the Dream Witch from the Witch's Forest, Zi.

"Greetings, Principal. Greetings, Teacher Zi."

Valensa bowed to the two men in turn, then stood there obediently, as if listening attentively.

"Oh, you're here, young lady who's really good at brewing wine... hiccup."

The bald man exhaled another breath of alcohol, then opened his desk drawer and handed Valensa a crumpled document that looked like it had been crumpled several times:

"Come, take a look at this... If I remember correctly, for the three years before you came to the academy, you lived in a small town near the Misty Mountains, right?"

"Yes, that place is called Sergin Town, it's a wonderful town."

Valensa took the document and looked through it, quickly raising an eyebrow.

The document was not a letter addressed to the academy or to the bald man personally, but rather a letter from the Krall City Adventurers' Guild branch to the Royal Capital Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

The letter stated that, starting about two weeks ago, many monsters that originally lived in the Misty Mountains had appeared in the jungles on the eastern border of the kingdom.

Although these monsters did not attack human settlements such as villages and towns, they still caused great inconvenience to adventurers and gatherers in several nearby villages and towns, including Sergin Town.

The Adventurers' Guild of Klar City organized adventurers of Pearl rank and above to carry out a cleanup operation, defeating many monsters, but the effect was not significant—even more monsters subsequently emerged from the Misty Mountains.

Left with no other option, the Adventurers' Guild branch in Klar City had to request assistance from the headquarters in the royal capital, hoping that the headquarters could send some elite adventurers into the Misty Mountains to find out the reason for the monsters' abnormal behavior and resolve the issue.

"Your Excellency, Principal..."

After putting down the letter, Valensa gave a wry smile, somewhat helplessly:

"You wouldn't be thinking of assigning me this arduous task, would you? I don't think I've offended you, would I? Why would you give me such a dangerous mission with a near-death experience? That's the Misty Mountains!"

"Oh? You think you'll have a slim chance of survival? Ha..."

The bald man smiled wryly and touched his head.

"It seems that you, like most people, have some misunderstandings about the Misty Mountains... What kind of place is the Misty Mountains in your mind?"

"It is the dividing line between the eastern and western parts of the Frenoia continent."

Valensa thought for a moment and decided to answer based on common sense and preconceived notions:

"The elemental forces are more active in the eastern part of the Frenoia continent, and there are many high-level monsters living there. It is difficult for humans to establish large settlements. It is a paradise for monsters."

However, for humans, high-level monsters are often a symbol of wealth. The value of even a small piece of material from those monsters is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person working for several years or even decades. Therefore, many humans are willing to try their luck by hunting high-level monsters, even if they know that there is a risk to their lives.

It was the existence of the Misty Mountains that stopped these people from their reckless greed for wealth.

I don't know much about the specifics of the Misty Mountains, only that many demonic creatures live there, and the natural environment is varied and dangerous. Only those at the Radiant Rank can easily traverse it; cultivators below the Radiant Rank face a near-certain death if they enter the Misty Mountains.

"Hmm, so that's the perception... Actually, most of these are correct, except that the dangers of the Misty Mountains are slightly exaggerated."

The bald man smiled:

"Many of the monsters in the Misty Mountains are not found within the kingdom's territory, but they are not actually very strong. However, many of them have rather strange abilities, and adventurers who are not skilled enough can easily suffer great losses when they first meet them... Over time, the rumor arose that the monsters in the Misty Mountains are very dangerous."

Actually, the monsters there are stronger than those in the kingdom, but most are only around the Pearl level, and Lighthouse level monsters are relatively rare.

With your current combat strength, as long as you are careful and don't go too deep into the Misty Mountains, it's basically like a picnic, nothing to be afraid of.

Not only that, the wide variety of monsters there will also be great practice targets for you... You've worked very hard this academic year, it's time to test your training results with high-intensity real combat.

Yesterday, when I went to the Adventurers' Guild to have a drink with the old guild master, I accidentally saw this letter of appeal on his table. I thought it would be perfect for you, so I'm coming over.

"How about that? Wasn't I a good principal? I even remembered you while we were drinking."

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you so much, Principal, for your kindness. Even when you're out drinking with your friends, you don't forget to assign me such a wonderful summer homework assignment."

Valensa nodded speechlessly.

However, she didn't have much dissatisfaction.

One aspect is that the gains from a year of spiritual practice need to be assessed, and another is that Valensa still has feelings for Serkin Town.

The town of Sergin is now suffering from the disturbances caused by monsters, and Valensa is willing to help Sergin resolve this difficulty if she can.

However... whether it's cultivating or helping others, you must first ensure your own safety.

"Are there really no Radiant-Rank monsters on the outskirts of the Misty Mountains, Headmaster? Teacher Zi?"

"Well... in theory, there shouldn't be any. Most of the Radiant-Rank monsters in the Misty Mountains live on the eastern side."

The bald man scratched his head for a moment, then opened the drawer under his desk and rummaged around for a while before finally finding a pair of very worn gloves:

"Just in case, you should take this with you."

"This is?"

Valensa curiously took the old gloves. At first, she thought they were something special, but after observing them repeatedly, she realized they were just ordinary old gloves with a slight sweaty smell.

"These are the gloves I used when I was practicing my spiritual cultivation."

The bald man laughed:

"When I used to play in the Misty Mountains, I knew most of the Radiant-Rank monster lords there. I drank with them and beat them up quite a few times."

They all recognize my scent. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a Rank 1 Demon Lord, just take out these gloves and say you're my student; they shouldn't give you any trouble then.

"Then you should take this with you too."

Seeing this, the Nightmare Purple joined in the fun with great interest, handing Valensa a boot that was clearly one she had worn herself:

"The few snakes I raised and then released back into the wild seem to have all become Lord-level monsters in the Misty Mountains... If you encounter them, show them my boots, and they will definitely not bother you anymore, and may even help you."

Chapter 227 The Witch's Perverse Pleasures

"Uh... well."

Valensa nodded with a strange expression and put away the bald man's gloves and the succubus's boots.

With the tools that could deal with the Radiant-rank monster lords of the Misty Mountains in hand, Valensa was indeed much more confident about her summer homework, but she still dared not be careless.

"just in case……"

Under the somewhat disdainful gazes of the bald man and the dream witch, Valensa shamelessly said:

"What if the source of this turmoil in the Misty Mountains isn't someone the Headmaster and Teacher Zi knew, but someone with equally powerful abilities? Wouldn't I be in grave danger then? So, could you... hehe, give me some more life-saving items?"

"You still want a life-saving item?"

The bald man even started to widen his eyes:

"No spiritual practice can be without risk... Any spiritual practice that is completely risk-free has absolutely no value!"

If you can't even take this small risk, how will you ever become a real man?

"I wasn't born a man, I'm a beautiful girl!"
