The story of the black silk female knight

"If 10,000 believers live peacefully here for more than six months, this land can be transformed into a land blessed by Her Majesty the Goddess."

Chapter 114 Pudding Wings

Ten thousand believers...living peacefully for more than six months...

Valensa sighed helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​building the Holy Gate.

In the desolate lands, achieving this condition might be even more difficult than purchasing a sufficient quantity of high-quality, attribute-less magic crystals at a reasonable price.

Putting aside the fact that the people of Fran would never consider relocating to the barren lands, the residual nuclear radiation on the ground above the ruins alone is enough to make this place unsuitable for ordinary people to live in.

Moreover, Valensa had no intention of managing the territory at all. She wanted this place only to turn it into a secret base and had no intention of letting ordinary people settle here.

...We can only try to power the ruins from other angles, such as going to the largest merchant guild in Fran to purchase high-quality non-attribute magic crystals, or trying to get Wei to help us get a small reactor from the cyberpunk world.

I don't expect any cutting-edge technology like Iron Man's Arc Reactor, but a larger reactor is fine too. Anyway, the storage space in the Magic Cloak is large enough, and Friedeja definitely has a way to convert the energy generated by the nuclear reactor into magic.

It's almost the end of the month, so I'll ask Wei when she invites me over.

While Valensa was deep in thought, Tia summoned 60 spirit Tias to scout the ground situation and then used projection magic to show the results to everyone.

Valensa had never seen the daily life of wild beasts before. Friggia had been sealed away for over a thousand years, and this was also Valenkasa's first time on the continent of Frenoia.

The female knight and the first witch were very interested and gathered around the magic projection, while the saintess also cast a curious glance at it.

Outside the self-destruct command's area of ​​effect, the wild beasts built makeshift camps out of stones in every direction. Each camp contained thousands of ordinary wild beasts and a small number of elite warriors, seemingly determined to conduct long-term surveillance of the area.

It was almost dinnertime, and for the first time, the girls witnessed firsthand just how terrible the food the wild beasts ate was.

Perhaps it was also a little selfishness of the Sun Goddess, but all the intelligent life in this world has similar needs for food as Valensa in her previous life.

Carbohydrates are essential, while vegetables and meat are always welcome, and wild animals are no exception.

However, in a place like the Barren Ridge, there are no high-quality and delicious carbohydrates like wheat flour and rice for wild beasts to eat.

The food the wild beasts used to supplement their carbohydrates was a potato-like plant that was highly adaptable to the environment and could even be grown in the barren wasteland.

However, the texture and taste were terrible. Valensa and the others could see this clearly through the magical projection; most wild beasts would find it difficult to swallow this kind of food.

Ordinary wild beasts can only get a small piece of this potato-like food, while only the elite wild beast warriors can get more side dishes.

It's supposed to be a dish that goes well with rice, but it's the kind of dish that most people would find disgusting.

One possibility is certain fungi. Based on her adventurer experience, Valensa speculates that these fungi are wild fungi that grow in relatively damp places, and most of them are likely to be poisonous.

But those wild beast warriors weren't afraid at all. They crushed all sorts of colorful wild mushrooms with stones, spread them on the potato-like staple food, and ate it with great relish.

Besides these colorful wild mushroom sauces, another side dish for the elite beast warriors is probably even more toxic.

It was a soup made by stewing various poisonous insects, including scorpions and centipedes, in a large iron pot. It was dark and had green and purple hues, and looked like a deadly dish. However, the elite warriors of the wild beasts regarded it as a delicacy. After each sip, their expressions would be dazed for ten seconds or so, and they enjoyed it very much.

Of course, it's also possible that they weren't enjoying themselves, but rather that they were poisoned, which is why they looked dazed.

But that might be why only elite beast warriors get to eat side dishes; if a beast isn't strong enough, it might die on the spot if it eats these side dishes.

Seeing the wild beasts eating their dinner, Valensa and the others realized they were also a little hungry, so they unanimously decided to eat first and work later.

Valensa was still the head chef. In addition to the cake she bought in advance from a famous dessert shop in the capital, Valensa also made three dishes, all of which were simple and delicious.

One of them is stir-fried chicken, but it's not the spicy and fragrant kind from my previous life. Instead, it's slightly modified to suit the preferences of the French people, with black pepper and sweet sauce added to make the chicken more tender and delicious.

The second dish is steamed fish. This dish originally existed in France, and the seasoning is similar to that of Valensa's previous life. The fish is first steamed in plain water to retain its original freshness, and then sauce is poured on according to personal preference.

The third dish is a leafy green vegetable that looks a lot like lettuce. In France, it is called "kaka cai". The preparation and taste are also very similar to lettuce. After blanching it in boiling water, you can eat it after spreading sesame paste, minced garlic and chili sauce. It is quite refreshing.

Valensa's cooking was already quite delicious, and compared to the pitiful food the wild beasts ate in the magical projection, the girls felt a sense of superiority and pride, and they ate with great relish.

Of course, there was also disdain for the stupidity of the wild beasts.

While Valencia was happily eating steamed fish (including the bones), she muttered a complaint:

"These stupid beasts... Back then, when we made them work, they said we enslaved them; when we made them worship the Sun Goddess, they wanted to worship freedom... Now look at the garbage they're eating, ha."

Even Virenkasa, who had always maintained a cold and abstinent demeanor, became noticeably more lively while eating. She also wolfed down the stir-fried chicken without spitting out the bones, her cheeks puffing out like a hamster.

And Valensa and the others finally understood why Velenkasa wore U-shaped backless bodysuits.

Seemingly unable to control her emotions, a pair of ice-white and semi-transparent demon wings grew out from Velenkasa's back, fluttering quite nimbly and joyfully, completely different from her cold and ascetic expression.

Valensa stared at the wings with great curiosity for a while, but she couldn't resist and reached out to touch them while Velenkasa was eating her kaka.

Surprisingly, these ice-white, translucent demon wings were not as hard and bony as other demon wings; instead, they were quite soft and bouncy, like pudding.

Valensa was immediately hooked on touching it and couldn't help but apply a little more pressure...

Pu Niu.

After a sound somewhat like a bite being taken out of a pudding cake, Valensa was shocked to discover that she had actually torn off a piece of Velenkasa's wing.

"……sorry!"

She quickly apologized, feeling very embarrassed.

But Velenkasa just rolled her eyes at Valensa, snatched the fragment of her demon wing from Valensa's hand, dipped it in sesame and hot sauce from the plate of kaka, and ate it in one bite.

Chapter 115 The Saintess's Special Training

Valenkasa's act of dipping her own wing fragments in sauce and eating them left Valensa and Tia speechless.

But Friggia, who had been a pseudo-omniscient for a period of time, clearly knew the truth.

She gave Vilenkasha a defiant look, wrapped a piece of chicken breast in curry leaves and ate it, then hooked the strap of her right shoulder with her pinky and licked her lips.

"High-ranking frost demons... hehe, it's because their wings are too delicious that they are persecuted by the gluttons on their own planet, so they have no choice but to rely on the Sun Goddess for survival."

But the Sun Goddess also really enjoyed this cool and refreshing demon wing pudding. To please her, they continuously evolved their wings, making them taste better and giving them super-fast regeneration abilities.

Upon hearing this, Valensa quickly looked at the piece of the demon wing she had accidentally broken off earlier and found that it had indeed healed completely, showing no signs of damage.

Slurp~~

Valensa shed tears of repentance, her curiosity piqued by the delicious food that even a goddess would enjoy.

!

Clearly sensing Valencia's ill-intentioned gaze, Velenkasa glared at her, then quickly took a few deep breaths to adjust her emotions, shifting her focus from the joy of enjoying the food back into that cold, abstinent state.

The icy white demon wings, resembling pudding, seemed to be controlled by Valenkasa's emotions. After Valenkasa entered a state of abstinence, the wings on her back quickly retracted into her body, much to Valenkasa's regret.

"Wait, double the training!!"

Wiping her mouth, still smeared with sauce, with a handkerchief, Velenkasha glared at Valencia again before getting up and leaving the table.

By this time, the others had almost finished eating, and after a short rest, they began to work.

Tia's acquisition of attribute-less magic crystals was too hasty, and she was also targeted by big merchants who hoarded their stock, so she didn't buy many attribute-less magic crystals.

We need to discuss how to use these magic crystals.

The first thing to ensure, of course, is the spatial coordinates that allow direct teleportation from the capital to the ruins. Tia took out nearly half of the attribute-less magic crystals she had acquired in one go.

These attribute-less magic crystals are enough to maintain the spatial coordinates for at least two months. They can acquire more attribute-less magic crystals within these two months, or find other energy sources to replace them.

As for the other half of the attribute-less magic crystals, after calculation by Friggia, it was found that they could only restore the operation of two rooms in the ruins at most, and the operation time would not exceed one month. If used more frequently, they could only be used for a few days.

After a brief discussion, the group decided to restore one more laboratory and one more training room.

The equipment in these two rooms had long been damaged or taken away during the battles of that year, subsequent geological movements, and the occasional intrusion of wild beasts or human scouts, leaving only a fraction of its original functionality.

Even though only one in ten functions remains, it can still play a significant role after being repaired.

Friggia needs to use the laboratory to popularize and commercialize some of her knowledge, turning it into a product that can sell well in today's human society. She will then hand it over to Tia and Valensa to operate and make money, and use the profits to recruit volunteers for human trials in order to fulfill her long-cherished wish of bringing the Eve people back.

The training room is prepared for Valensa and Velenkasa. Tia can be the main force in restoring the ruins, or she can be an assistant to Friggia's experiments, but Valensa and Velenkasa will be very idle.

When people are idle, they tend to cause trouble. Valensa will most likely flirt with Tia, affecting Tia's work efficiency in various aspects. Velenkasa might also keep staring at Frieda with her cold, aloof gaze, affecting Frieda's mood for conducting experiments and research.

Why not just open a training room and give idle people something to do?

Velenkasa's mission in coming to Frenoia was to train Valensa, and Valensa naturally didn't mind training herself, so both of them readily agreed.

According to Friggia, this training room was originally very powerful. It could simulate various combat environments with incredibly realistic illusions—including the seabed, volcanoes, jungles, space, asteroid belts, and even barren alien planets—and it could also limit the power of biological energy such as magic and air through a special force field, allowing people to get better training results in harsh environments.

Unfortunately, most of the functions are now broken, and even if we wanted to repair them, we would need various materials. The only function that is currently usable is the gravity doubling function.

Five times the gravity didn't hurt Valensa much, but it was still hard to adapt at first, especially the two female knight mountains, which made her shoulders ache and her breathing heavy.

Velenkasa, on the other hand, was like a child returning home, her face beaming with joy. Her icy white Pudding Demon Wings once again couldn't resist sticking out from the U-shaped opening at the back of her bodysuit, fluttering happily in place.

"hehe."

After finishing the training room adjustments, Friggia winked and smiled at Valensa, then blew a kiss to her lips with her left hand:

"The homeworld of the high-ranking Frost Demons has a gravity approximately 4.2 times that of Eve, so Miss Saintess should really enjoy this environment... Well then, have a great training session!"

Snap.

Without giving Valensa a chance to speak, Friggia slammed the training room door shut, leaving Valensa and Velenkasa alone.

The sound of the door closing seemed to be a signal; Valencia could clearly sense that Velenkasa's entire aura had undergone a dramatic change.

The Pudding Demon Wings behind her did not retract; instead, they grew larger, and an unnatural blush appeared on her snow-white face.

It licks the corner of its mouth every two or three seconds, its eyes are very watery, and it's quite crazy.

The abstinence-based system has been decriminalized.

"I am strict in training!"

brush!

With a wave of her hand, Velenkasha produced a longsword formed from frost, the blade of which quickly turned golden and condensed a large amount of holy light.

This time, I'm going to get a beating...

Valensa gritted her teeth, but felt no fear; instead, she became excited.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty!"

She drew her Moonkiss sword, also focusing holy light into its blade, and charged at Velenkasa.

"……Ah."

Velenkasha's eyes shone even brighter, her expression more excited, and the Pudding Demon Wings behind her flapped rapidly like dragonfly wings, making a flapping sound.

Crack! Snap! Bang!

After only three moves, Valensa was severely suppressed—her strength, speed, skill, and holy light intensity were all inferior. She only managed to avoid being instantly killed by Velenkasa because of her exceptional endurance.

“…That’s fantastic.”

But this seemed to excite Velenkasa even more; the chill emanating from her intensified, and the holy light condensing on the blade of her ice sword shone even brighter.

"I like training!!"

Chapter 116 The New System of Divine Arts

"Gulp! I surrender!"

"Gulp! I surrender!"

"Ouch... Ouch... Ouch... This hurts so much, Your Majesty..."

Similar pleas for mercy and cries of pain became Valensa's most frequent lines over the past two days.

She was badly beaten by Velenkasa. If it weren't for her strong regenerative abilities and healing magic, her headlights would probably have been reduced to two sizes.

Each time Valencia begged for mercy, Velenkasa became more and more excited as she fought, licking her lips with an expression completely opposite to her usual ascetic demeanor, amidst the buzzing of Pudding Demon Wings:

"Training is far from over! Far from it!!"

What followed was an even more brutal beating, at one point even making Valensa meow.

Despite being beaten terribly, Valensa felt no resentment towards Velenkasa's brutality; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

She wasn't teasing Em; her happiness stemmed from growth and achievements.

Velenkasa was indeed very ruthless when she beat Valencia, but she was also very responsible in her teaching.

Although this saintess's strength is not at the Sun-level, at most she is only slightly stronger than Sila, but her combat experience is extremely rich.

According to what Valensa learned while she was being beaten up these past two days, Velenkasa is almost 3000 years old this year. Before coming to Eve, she had served as a high-ranking priest of the Church of the Sun on two other planets and had fought against all kinds of intelligent life or monsters.
