The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa chuckled softly:

"I was worried that I might have killed a great prophet of a wild beast but released an even more dangerous great witch. I was also thinking about how to do it without breaking my promise and without causing you any harm... The Holy Maiden's message perfectly solved this problem."

Friggia seemed to have guessed something, and pouted somewhat unhappily.

Tia pinched Valensa's waist, somewhat annoyed.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already."

"Hmm... The saintess didn't tell me the specific cause and effect. She only said that Friggia was indeed a lady of noble status, but she made some mistakes, which is why she was sealed here."

Valensa smiled and gently rubbed Tia's small hand that was pinching her.

"Just like prisoners in a dungeon have a time limit for their sentences, the Holy Maidens' judgment on Friggia is to seal her away for a thousand years so that she can reflect on her actions."

The millennium has long since passed. As long as Friggia is willing to sincerely admit her mistakes and swear to Her Majesty the Goddess that she will not repeat them, I can officially release her with my authority.

Chapter 85 The Witch Unsealed

"I am right!"

"I won't admit I'm wrong, and I certainly won't make any vows!"

"Even if I'm sealed away for another thousand years, I won't repent!"

Friggia seemed to have a lot of backbone. In response to Valensa's demands, she waved her arms and kicked her long legs, which were encased in black stockings.

"very good."

Valensa chuckled softly, put her arm around Tia's waist, and turned to leave.

"It's not that I broke my promise, it's that you don't want to regain your freedom... Let's go, Tia, we should go home and sleep, I'm so sleepy."

"Ah."

Tia smiled and glanced at Friggia, then acted very cooperative.

"...Hey! How could you do this!"

Friedia's backbone vanished instantly:

"In this situation, shouldn't you try to persuade me again? I am a great figure from a thousand years ago. It would be too embarrassing for me to back down like this... Give me a way out."

"You're already pinned here, why are you still worried about saving face?"

Valensa then returned to Frieda's side, amusedly gripping the hilt of the silver sword once more:

"Quickly, admit your mistake and swear an oath. Once you've completed this procedure, you'll be free."

“Muru… okay.”

Friggia was very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

As Valencia said, freedom is far more important than saving face.

"I repent... I swear..."

Like a princess in some strange games who is forced to submit to the enemy after being defeated because her people are taken hostage, Friggia goes through the unsealing process with a humiliated expression that makes you want to bully her.

"Well, that's fine."

Valensa nodded, and with a forceful pull, she drew the silver sword from its hilt.

"Hmm?~~"

As the blade withdrew from her chest, Freya's eyes glazed over for a moment, her voice becoming somewhat seductive, and she unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue.

"How strange... This sword is clearly the culprit that made me weak and powerless, but I seem to have gotten used to it after it has been stuck in my body for more than a thousand years. Now that it has been pulled out, I feel quite empty... Ugh."

"Then I'll grant your wish one more time."

With a wicked grin, Valensa plunged the silver sword, which she had already completely pulled out, back into Fredia's chest, leaving Fredia speechless.

Having just regained her freedom, Friggia was pinned to the ground again.

"What...what do you mean by this?"

Friggia panicked:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Um... I'm sorry."

After observing carefully for a few seconds and confirming that Friggia was indeed pinned down again, Valensa apologetically drew her silver sword once more.

"It's just an experiment."

"……test?"

Friggia quickly got up from the ground, keeping a few steps away from Valensa, and rubbed the spot where the silver sword had pierced her, asking curiously:

"What test?"

"Experiments regarding this sword."

Valensa pointed to the silver sword in her hand:

"According to the rules set by the saintesses who sealed you, whoever releases you will be responsible for your subsequent actions... If you secretly do bad things behind my back, I will also be punished."

So I need to have a way to control you... like this sword.

The saintesses have already told me that this sword is a specially made divine artifact. It may not be as sharp as an ordinary steel sword to others, but it can easily seal you away.

So...

Valensa then deliberately brandished the silver sword twice in front of Friedeja:

"Don't do anything bad, Sister Friggia. I'm very good at swordsmanship... I can pin you to the ground and seal you away anytime."

"Even if I wanted to do something bad, I was powerless to do it."

Friggia gave a wry smile, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her fists:

"My body is weaker than I thought. I struggle to even use the lowest level spells, and I can't absorb magic to restore my energy... Well, at least for the next two hundred years, you don't have to worry about me doing anything reckless."

"I hope so."

Valensa shrugged and put the silver sword into her storage space.

"By the way, how much do you know about this ruin?"

"Of course I know everything."

Friggia suddenly became smug again:

"No one in the entire continent... no, in the entire universe, knows this place better than I do! This is the last bastion of the previous civilization! It's my birthplace! It's also my original laboratory! Mmm..."

After a few seconds of smugness, Friedeja felt a little disappointed again:

"It's a pity that we fought too fiercely in that great battle and completely destroyed this place... Most of it was buried deep underground, and some was even caught in spatial turbulence."

However, the area where I was sealed was the research area of ​​the final fortress of the previous civilization, and also my laboratory. I was distracted by protecting it during the battle, so it should be the most intact area... Hmm, some of the equipment here might still be usable after some repairs.

By the way, if you're not in a rush to go home, could you help me tidy up this?

"Would it be dangerous to clean up the ruins?"

Valensa was somewhat tempted.

The final fortress of the pre-civilization and the laboratory of the first witch—that sounds incredibly impressive.

This is a desolate wasteland; the commotion of a nuclear explosion would inevitably alert other wild beasts.

If we leave directly like this, this ruin might fall into the hands of wild beasts. If the wild beasts find some powerful technology in the ruins, it would be very bad.

"No, no... With me here, what danger could there be on my territory?"

Friggia waved her hand, then confidently puffed out her chest:

"Besides, as long as one-fifth... no, one-tenth of what I have here is still usable, it will definitely be of great help to you! Helping me is a sure win!"

"……okay."

Valensa and Tia exchanged a silent glance and then agreed to Friedia's suggestion:

"What should we do? Do you have a detailed map of this site?"

"A map..."

Friggia frowned slightly:

“I don’t need that kind of thing… I remember everything here very clearly.”

However, this place has been shattered after all, and more than 1500 years have passed, with geological movements and such... The maps I remember are probably outdated and need to be re-surveyed.

"Re-map..."

Valensa gave a wry smile:

"This will probably take a long time, right? Tia and I have been out for quite a while now, so I'm afraid we don't have that much time to do these things."

"Don't worry, it won't be long... if we use that spell."

Friggia waved her hand again, looking relaxed.

She glanced at Valensa first, then shook her head:

"You probably can't... Your magic is only at the beginner level, you won't be able to learn this spell."

Then he looked at Tia more carefully, nodding with increasing satisfaction:

"Hmm...you should be fine...I'll teach you a powerful spell, sister."

Chapter 86 Spiritual Doppelganger

Friggia began her spell lessons once again, this time to Tia.

Valensa curiously moved closer to listen, but couldn't understand anything.

For a proper spellcaster like Tia, Friggia stopped using fancy metaphors and instead explained the spell model and the way magic works in detail.

Although Valensa had enhanced her comprehension, her basic magical knowledge remained illiterate, leaving her helpless in understanding the magical theories explained by Friggia.

She could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she was completely confused.

However, Tia truly lived up to her title as the number one genius girl in the capital.

As she listened to Friggia's explanation, she immediately tried to use her magic and quickly learned the spell.

"A spirit clone... this should belong to necromancy, right?"

After fully understanding the new spell, Tia smiled and looked at Valensa:

"According to the rules of the Church of the Sun, the practice of necromancy must be approved first... Is it not good for me to learn it directly like this?"

"fine."

Valensa waved her hand:

“Although I can only be considered half a Necromancer now, I still have this much authority… Your training in necromancy can be approved through special procedures. I’ll have Fran complete the paperwork when we get back.”

The Church of the Sun has never prohibited the practice of necromancy; it simply maintains strict control over it.

Because necromancy is quite unique, it is indispensable to many industries such as medicine, but it is also more likely to cause disasters than spells from other schools.

In some remote villages and towns lacking mid-to-high-level power, a necromancer of the Candlelight level can easily cause a village-wide massacre... That's why necromancy is strictly controlled.

As for those who secretly practice necromancy, the Church of the Sun usually arrests them first and then interrogates them.

If the practice is only for research purposes and has not harmed others, the punishment will not be severe. In most cases, it will involve criticism and education, followed by a few months to a year of practice according to the standards of a clergyman, and then everything will be fine.

However, if the innocent are harmed in order to practice necromancy, the Church of the Sun will not be lenient and will basically throw them directly into the holy light for purification.

The vast majority of necromancers who are purified will vanish into nothingness and their souls will dissipate. However, there is a very small chance that, like Rika, they will be truly purified and become clergy members who join the church.

Someone like Linglan, who practiced necromancy for the sake of medicine and resurrecting her wife, should have been considered to have committed a very minor sin; she was just incredibly unlucky.

At the time, the town of Beddock had just been annihilated, and she was mistakenly identified as a suspect.

According to church regulations, necromancers who have committed grave evil deeds can indeed be purified unconditionally and by any means necessary.

So although Valensa killed the wrong person, her actions did not violate any rules and can only be considered manslaughter.

Furthermore, since Suzuran didn't die, but instead became a beautiful girl and was reborn, and accepted compensation from the Church of the Sun to reconcile with Valensa, the matter was considered closed.
