The story of the black silk female knight

"Amazing alchemy... Hmm, it is indeed amazing."

Valensa nodded, then asked:

"You surely know the recipe and steps, but what about the ingredients? Do you have them?"

"It wasn't there originally, but now..."

Frigia shrugged, pointing with a mixture of helplessness and heartache to the equipment and tools in the experimental equipment warehouse that had been destroyed by the Great Prophet of the Wild Beasts:

“Treating them as waste and refining them is enough.”

After saying that, she didn't give Valensa another chance to continue being curious and looked directly at Tia:

Do you know alchemy? Or should I teach you the techniques so you can practice?

"alchemy……"

Tia hesitated for a moment:

"I know a little bit about it, I'll give it a try."

The attempt failed quickly.

Tia's alchemy skills are actually quite good.

Although she rarely uses it in practice, her theoretical knowledge is quite extensive, and she absolutely crushes other alchemy apprentices of the same age, truly deserving of the title of the number one genius girl in the capital.

However, alchemy was ultimately just a secondary profession that Tia practiced, and she could only devote limited energy to it. Furthermore, Friggia's recipes required a near-master level of alchemy, which Tia was definitely not capable of.

"It seems I'll have to do it myself."

Friggia seemed completely unsurprised by the outcome, and with a chuckle, she looked at Valensa before finally revealing her true purpose:

"But I have no energy left in my body right now, so I can't use alchemy... Could I have some of your amazing-looking primal biological energy?"

"...So this was your real purpose!"

Tia immediately puffed up her cheeks, clearly unhappy.

But she is a sensible woman who knows what is most important.

In addition, Valensa had already replenished other people's mana when she treated Gina before—as long as Tia could personally handle the step of extracting bio-energy, she wouldn't object.

Soon, Tia took out the cheapest alchemical potion and poured it out.

Valensa also removed her armor again and unbuttoned her shirt.

After a series of practiced movements, Tia's alchemical potion bottle was filled with white liquid energy essence and handed to Friggia.

"Whoosh..."

Friggia seemed quite impatient and gulped it down in one go.

"Hmm?~~"

Her face flushed, she raised her arms high, leaned forward, and stretched comfortably.

"As expected... it's top-notch, just like I predicted! The taste and effects are amazing! This one bottle restored almost 0.000012% of my energy, awesome... Hmm, I've decided."

"Once I've dealt with those inferior experimental creatures on the ground, I'll be with you... I can use my knowledge to help you, but you must also protect me and help me restore my energy, okay?"

"Even if you want to leave, you can't."

Valensa rolled her eyes, then took out the silver sword that had previously pinned Frieda down, and brandished it a couple of times:

"Don't forget I'm the one who released you, so I have a responsibility to keep an eye on you... You must stay by my side until I'm sure you won't cause any harm! Otherwise, I'll nail you back up!"

"Muru... what a stubborn, stupid paladin... alright."

Friggia glanced at the silver sword with some fear and hid behind Tia.

Valensa took a deep breath after hearing that beautiful, mature woman feigning pitifulness.

She sheathed the silver sword again, and a smile appeared on her face:

"Of course, as long as you don't do anything bad, I'm happy to be your friend and will do my best to help you recover... Hmm, is this energy enough for you to use alchemy?"

"...Although I really want to say that it's not enough and trick you into giving me two more bottles of primordial bio-energy, my pride won't allow me to do so...Watch this!"

Snapped!

Without using any alchemical tools or drawing any alchemical circles, Friggia simply snapped her fingers.

The wreckage of the destroyed equipment in the room immediately floated up, enveloped in gentle magic, and merged in mid-air, like dough being kneaded into a new shape by an invisible force.

Tia stared, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Uh... is this technology really that amazing?"

Valensa, who is still practically illiterate in the basic theories of magic, asked curiously.

"That's amazing..."

Tia took a deep breath:

"I am now completely convinced that Friggia was not exaggerating. This kind of alchemy that can be activated without the aid of any alchemical vessel or transmutation array is called Imaginary Alchemy... It is a top-level alchemy that only exists in legends, and no alchemist knows how to use it now!"

If we were to apply the cultivation level to alchemists, then Friggia's move would be enough to elevate her to the legendary Sun-level powerhouse!

"That's amazing... Can you learn it, Tia?"

Valensa asked with a smile:

"I happen to have her supervision now, so if you want to learn, I can have her teach you."

"I……"

Tia took another deep breath, hesitated for a long while, and then shook her head:

"Forget it... While I'm confident in my talent, to learn this skill I would have to make alchemy my main profession... which is a bit unnecessary."

Besides, since Friggia claims to be the first and strongest witch, her magic must be even more powerful. Let's learn her magic together.

“That’s true…the more you learn, the worse it gets. If you’re going to learn, learn the best.” Valensa nodded.

During the time the two were whispering, Friggia snapped her fingers again.

The material, which had fused together like dough, flashed with a colorful magical light once again and gradually took on a new, clearly discernible shape.

"nailed it!"

Chapter 91 Area Cleanup

The beacon transmitter, created by Friggia using her imaginary alchemy, looks a bit like a street lamp.

It is about five meters long, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The narrow part is about the same size as Valensa's calf, while the wide part is longer than Valensa's waist.

After observing the surroundings, Friggia had Tia use her spirit clone to help clean and repair an energy interface that functioned like a power socket, and then placed the beacon transmitter on it.

Finally, open the thicker part at the top of the beacon transmitter and load the remaining bottle of special pheromone solvent into it like loading bullets into an old-fashioned rifle.

"Whew... all done. Now it's time to witness a miracle."

Friggia, hands on her hips in a show of bravado, swung the enormous headlights:

"Quick, Tia, project the situation on the ground again. We can see together how effective the self-destruct command I implanted in those inferior experimental organisms back then is."

"it is good."

Tia nodded and sent all 60 of her spirit counterparts to the ground to scout ahead, projecting everything they saw through magic.

Frigia also decisively activated the beacon transmitter.

!

Valensa didn't feel anything at all; the activated beacon transmitter made no sound or light.

But in Tia's magical projection, there was a scene of apocalyptic desolation.

Those worker-shell rat beasts near the entrance directly above the ruins, which was the epicenter of last night's nuclear explosion, were completely defenseless and suddenly mutated, their bodies melting into pus within seconds.

As the special pheromones exploded and spread, other wild beasts soon suffered the same fate, as if they had been hit by an invisible nuclear explosion again, melting away silently.

There was no fear, no wailing.

The wild beasts had no way of understanding, nor did they have time to understand, what had happened.

This phenomenon spread over ten kilometers within seconds, and none of the ordinary wild beasts that had been searching and exploring near the nuclear explosion area last night were spared. They were all activated with self-destruct commands, their genes collapsed, and they melted on the spot.

Only the four Radiant-rank experts who were a little distance from the beacon put up a struggle.

Their main advantage is that they react and move quickly.

The moment the worker-shell rat beasts in the central area turned into liquid, the four Radiant-rank beast experts sensed the danger and reacted immediately.

One of the warrior-type Starry Wild Beasts was extremely decisive. It chopped off its own head with a single strike and threw it far away with all its might, at nearly ten times the speed of sound, out of the range of its special pheromones.

Although its body was not spared, its head was intact... and it was even able to fly away quickly after landing.

The other two warrior-type Stars were not so lucky. Perhaps they simply didn't have the ability to survive with only their heads remaining. They chose to activate their Noble Phantasms and abilities on the spot to withstand the invisible attack.

Unfortunately, this self-destruct command was initiated from their own genes, rendering external defenses useless. Neither of these two warrior-type Star-level wild beasts escaped death by turning into pus.

The only spellcaster-type wild beast, Xingyao, although its body also turned into pus, soon had a white spirit fly out of the pus and flee into the distance... It barely managed to save its life, leaving only its soul.

"emmm..."

Friggia seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the result:

"So, even at the Star Glory level, they already have a way to escape my destruction order? It seems that these inferior experimental creatures aren't entirely useless... They've evolved quite a bit over the past thousand years."

There were a large number of wild beast warriors conducting investigations near the original wild beast camp.

About 14 kilometers from the beacon transmitter, the effects of the special pheromones finally wore off. The wild beasts outside the range were spared, staring blankly as a large number of their kind turned into pus. It took them a while to react before they fled in panic into the distance.

"Hmm... So the effect has weakened because it's been left for too long? Normally, one tube of special pheromone solvent can create a clean zone with a radius of 20 kilometers, which lasts for about 10 years."

Friggia sighed again.

"For 10 years??"

Valensa stared wide-eyed in surprise at the beacon transmitter:

"Frigia, you mean... for 10 years, all wild beasts within a 20-kilometer radius of this beacon transmitter will have their self-destruct commands activated?"

"No, this beacon transmitter is actually no longer useful."

Friggia smiled and shook her head, then pulled the beacon transmitter out of the power interface.

"The transmitter... As the name suggests, its function is only to emit and activate; the real function is still that special pheromone solvent."

The solvent in that bottle is a single-use item. Once activated, it can create a long-lasting area where any experimental organism entering the area will be triggered to self-destruct.

This is also an experience that the previous civilization gained from countless biological experiments—some experimental organisms are very cunning and will try to avoid short-term self-destruct commands and then quietly return to attack the researchers... That's why there is such a long-lasting special pheromone solvent.

Since this solvent has already been activated in this area, it can only work in this area... Your idea of ​​rushing into the beast colony with a beacon transmitter and wiping them all is unlikely to succeed unless you can gather the materials needed to create the special pheromone solvent again.

"That's it..."

Valensa was somewhat disappointed, but not discouraged.

Although she hadn't asked in detail yet, she knew from thinking that it would be extremely difficult to gather all the materials needed to make the special pheromone solvent.

However, with the Church of the Sun as her backer, and Tia also having connections with her family and the Sage's Tower, it might not be impossible for her to succeed if she tried.

Valensa quickly put the plan into her mind and planned to start taking action as soon as she got back.

Of course, she didn't give up on the idea of ​​getting a batch of dirty bombs from Wei to pollute the resources of the wasteland. She planned to use a two-pronged approach to ensure that no wild beasts would have a chance to survive.

At this moment, the wild beasts on the ground finally developed fear of this area. In addition, with the four Radiant-rank experts who commanded them either dead or fled, they no longer had the courage to enter the nuclear explosion zone and completely collapsed.

With this, Valensa and her companions' safety was temporarily resolved, and they could continue their previous plan to map and conduct preliminary exploration of the ruins.

Of course, with the useful spell of spirit clones, Tia can do most of the work herself, at most she just needs to ask Valensa to replenish her mana from time to time.

While waiting for the spirit Tias to finish their work, Valensa and the other two, now with some free time, naturally started chatting.

"...Speaking of which, why did you create wild beasts, Friedeja?"

Tia was still very concerned about this matter, and Valensa also expressed her curiosity.

"..."

Friggia remained silent for a while before smiling again:

"This... is a rather long story, it has to start from the previous civilization."
