The story of the black silk female knight

"Isn't that great? White stockings, catgirls, lolis, and stuff like that..."

Valensa couldn't help but blurt out her XP, then immediately realized:

"Wait... beast ears... animal features... wild beast... you wouldn't be...?"

"...It's that one, could it be?"

Friggia's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"I want to use bioengineering technology to mix human and animal genes and bring back the Eve people."

To achieve this goal, I conducted many biological experiments that you humans would consider heinous and inhumane... biological experiments involving the modification of living humans, and even produced a failed product like the Wild Beast.

After causing widespread anger and resentment, the Church of the Sun finally reached its breaking point and sent five saintesses to beat me up and seal me away.

Chapter 96 She's too strong, I can't handle her at all!

"Then you really deserve it."

Valensa and Tia didn't give Friggia a friendly look.

Valensa added:

“According to the current church regulations, illegal research using living humans as materials can be directly purified without any conditions or means… You were only sealed away, which is already an extraordinary act of mercy from Her Majesty the Goddess.”

Perhaps it was because Friggia's contribution in imparting magical knowledge to humans was truly immense, and the punishment of sealing her away for a thousand years was not much different from the death penalty for humans, that Friggia was spared.

Valensa was guessing this in her mind.

Then she heard Friggia laugh.

His laughter was tinged with arrogance.

"Purify me? Hmph... Unfortunately, your Church of the Sun cannot do it... Perhaps the Sun Goddess herself could do it, but a few saintesses and a few artifacts are far from enough."

Friggia tilted her head, her fingers tracing from below her cheek down her neck to her collarbone, tugging at the somewhat burdened shoulder strap of her black stockings dress:

"I was once a divine being who had achieved pseudo-omniscience and pseudo-omnipotence, and I was also the first witch who survived the cosmic catastrophe and spanned two eras... My immortality has long surpassed the laws of nature."

Even if I were just beaten up and my energy was depleted, I would continue to live in the endless void, even if this world were destroyed.

Of course, it's just about surviving; without energy, you can't do anything.

"A miraculous, immortal power that transcends the laws of nature..."

Valensa pondered for a moment, then quietly took two steps closer to Friggia, placing one hand naturally behind her back and reaching into the storage space of the artifact cloak to grasp the hilt of the silver sword.

She looked at Friggia with a very serious expression:

"Will you continue with that kind of experiment in the future?"

"will not."

Friggia smiled naturally.

She seemed to have noticed Valensa's subtle movements, and deliberately straightened her body, striking a pose that Valensa could easily pierce with her silver sword:

“I am a person who keeps my promises, just as I promised to do everything in my power to protect the Eve civilization, just as I said before that I would teach you magic to defeat powerful enemies... I will not be bound by human morality, but I will not lie or break my promises.”

Since I swore when the lockdown was lifted that I would never make the same mistake again, I will never do it again.

"……real?"

Valensa looked suspicious, clearly not quite believing it:

"What about the continuation of the Eve civilization? Are you going to give up on bringing the Eve people back?"

"...How could I possibly give up? This is my mission. Are you misunderstanding something?"

Friggia looked at Valensa with a strange expression:

“My previous promise was not to make the same mistake again—that is, I will no longer conduct illegal experiments on living humans, but I did not say that I would give up on bringing Eve back. I can use other methods.”

"Other methods? What methods?"

Valensa did not soften her tone:

"Don't try to fool me... Objectively speaking, the Eve people are extinct! If you want the Eve people to reappear in this world, human-related biological experiments are unavoidable!"

“That’s true. During the years I was sealed away, I’ve been thinking about how to continue my experiments without angering the Sun Goddess, so that I can continue my research after I regain my freedom… But as you said, it’s hard for me to avoid biological experiments involving humans.”

Friggia sighed softly, then took two steps closer to Valensa. The massive headlights almost hit Valensa's breastplate, and Valensa inhaled her intoxicating, rose-like fragrance.

"But fortunately, Valencia and Tia just gave me an idea that led me to a solution to this age-old problem."

"Wh...what method?"

Valensa was caught off guard by this sudden, unsportsmanlike seduction, and her hand holding the hilt of the silver sword lost its strength.

She also secretly glanced back at Tia... Sure enough, Tia puffed out her cheeks angrily and gave her a fierce look.

Well... you can't blame me for this.

This is a creature created by a super interstellar civilization with the goal of creating an omniscient and omnipotent goddess. Its face and figure are too perfect, and even its body fragrance is exceptionally alluring... It's impossible to resist when it suddenly comes close to you!

With a slightly aggrieved look in her eyes, Valensa explained to Tia, reluctantly and slowly putting distance between herself and Frieda at a pace that felt like stepping on an ant:

"I...I am a paladin! Your methods are useless against me! Don't think that I will show you any leniency! I will resolutely uphold the dignity of Her Majesty the Goddess!"

"...Yes, yes, you are a noble paladin, just as noble as your goddess. You won't soften your heart no matter how beautiful a lady is, right?"

Friggia extended her index finger and drew a circle on Valensa's upper body armor:

"As hard as your armor."

"Gu..."

Even though there was armor that could protect against swords and blades, there shouldn't have been any tactile sensation.

Valensa's body went limp, and she felt a tingling sensation as she fell backward, landing next to Tia.

"I... I had no choice."

Faced with Tia's angry and disgusted gaze, Valensa chuckled and defended herself:

"She was the first witch, and I'm just a lowly paladin. It's normal for me to lose, right?"

"You've never won when it comes to beautiful women!"

While Tia's hands were still constructing a map of the ruins using magical projection, making it inconvenient to pinch someone, she raised her small foot, which was covered in slightly sheer white silk stockings, and stepped on Valensa, completely pressing Valensa, who was sitting on the ground, onto the ground.

"Ignore this useless paladin."

Tia glared at Valensa again before turning to Friggia with a serious expression:

"Stop joking around, tell us your plans properly, Friedia... If you can't give us a reassuring explanation, even if Valensa doesn't keep you pinned down anymore, your future actions may be greatly restricted."

"Hmph... What a righteous girl. She's so ruthless to even a beautiful witch like me in order to protect the innocent... Well."

Frieda was clever; she didn't use the same methods against Tia and became serious as well.

“I did get the inspiration from you guys—when I taught you about spirit clones before, I remember you guys saying something like… even magic like necromancy can be practiced and researched openly as long as you have the church’s permission, right?”

"That's definitely true... Could it be that you..."

Tia was clearly surprised, having guessed Friggia's plan.

"That's it."

Friggia smiled again and smoothed her long black hair:

"Since conducting illegal research will get me beaten up and sealed off, I'll submit my application to the Church of the Sun for approval and conduct legal research openly and legitimately!"

Chapter 97 Give More Money

"So you wanted to get the church to approve your experiment through proper channels... I was wondering why you suddenly came up to me and tried to seduce me."

Valensa, who was being stepped on by Tia, looked enlightened. She tickled Tia's sole with her finger, causing Tia to let out a soft cry and move her foot away. She sat up and said seriously:

"But it's no use trying to seduce me... The church is very strict about approvals in this regard."

Tia's necromancy was practiced to combat the savage beast calamity, and since it did not use any illegal materials or harm any innocent people, it was basically just a formality.

But Friedia, your research... emmm, it probably still involves human trials, right?

"Ah."

Friggia nodded quite readily:

"In terms of life forms, humans and Eve people are the closest races. If we want to bring Eve people back to life through biological modification, humans are the most suitable material... Human experimentation is unavoidable."

"Then your application will definitely not be approved. Give up."

Valensa waved her hand:

"Even if I were to succumb to your seductive advances and give you special permission, it would still be rejected during the review process, and I would most likely be punished."

"Yes, I thought of that too."

Friggia's smile remained unchanged:

"If I can recruit volunteers to become test subjects, guarantee their safety, and ensure they are willing to be supervised throughout the process—would that pass the approval process?"

"...voluntary...safe...fully supervised..."

Valensa muttered these keywords to herself a few times, then shrugged somewhat uncertainly:

"Perhaps... I am indeed considered a mid-to-high-level member of the Church of the Sun, but I haven't officially taken office yet, and it's not my job to handle this... However, I can ask around for you and put in a good word for you."

"That's enough... If the approval really comes through, I'll thank you properly. You can look forward to experiencing the thrill of being the Great Witch~~"

As she spoke, Friggia winked at Valensa and blew her a kiss.

Hey! Don't pretend I don't exist!

This overly arrogant behavior greatly displeased Tia.

Tia was still doing the final map survey and couldn't move. Unable to reach Friggia, she could only angrily stomp on Valensa again, making her lie down, and poking her soft cheek with her white-stockinged toes.

After venting her frustrations, Tia looked at Friggia:

"With a clergyman from the Church of the Sun, skilled in healing magic, overseeing the entire process, the safety of those participating in the experiment can indeed be guaranteed to a certain extent... But how do you get them to participate voluntarily? In recent years, due to the actions of some insane criminals, most people are terrified of the term 'biological experimentation.'"

"It's very simple."

In Tia's eyes, Friggia transformed into an elegant lady once more:

"Why not just pay more money? In pre-civilization times, even for experiments with a mortality rate close to 70%, as long as you paid enough, there were still plenty of volunteers eager to sign up."

Before civilization develops to the point where commercial activity becomes meaningless, as long as you have money, you'll never have to worry about recruiting people... no matter what they're asked to do.

"This..." x2

Tia, who was standing, and Valensa, who was lying down, looked at each other and couldn't really refute each other.

Even a noblewoman like Valencia once hunted monsters alone in the jungle for money; there are only more ordinary people willing to risk their lives for money.

"Ok."

Valensa sighed helplessly:

"Your idea does have a certain probability of success... but the question is, do you really have that much money to recruit volunteers?"

"There will be."

Friggia smiled confidently:

"First, I have no shortage of time. I have a lifespan that is close to eternal, even above the rest of the world. I have plenty of time to make money and complete my plans."

Secondly, I possess a wealth of knowledge, and knowledge is wealth… As long as I use my knowledge wisely, making money will be a piece of cake for me.”

As she spoke, Friedia turned slightly to the side and gave Valensa and Tia a flirtatious wink:

"You two younger sisters are clearly noble ladies; you must have quite a few businesses and spare cash, right? Would you be interested in investing in me? This is a great opportunity to double your assets!"

"Investment..."

Tia's eyes flickered rapidly, clearly showing that she was very tempted.

Valencia was also calculating in her mind how much working capital she could squeeze out... Perhaps she could use her position in the church to gain more connections and invest?

The three of them remained silent for a moment, while the map of the ruins in Tia's palm continued to grow larger as her spirit clones explored it.

According to the current maps, the deepest part of this underground ruins is over 4500 meters deep, while the highest entrance has already been exposed above ground.
