The story of the black silk female knight

The Church of the Sun headquarters will arrange for Velenkasa to train Valensa; she will be a very carefully selected person.

Like Valenza, Velenkasa doesn't like to use fixed sword techniques. Her combat skills are all honed in actual combat, emphasizing speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy, and even a touch of the "no moves are better than moves" philosophy.

While beating up Valencia, Velenkasa will also point out Valencia's technical flaws and offer suggestions on how to improve.

Furthermore, based on Valencia's current training progress and true strength, Velenkasa taught Valencia three divine spells that normally require a Holy Knight of the Radiant Rank or higher to learn.

The first divine spell is one that Valensa has already mastered and can use in actual combat. It is also an advanced skill of the basic paladin divine spell Holy Light Blade - Holy Light Slash.

Just as the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Blade is specifically designed to break through various magical barriers, the Holy Light Evil-Slaying Slash is also a special attack skill targeting a specific type of enemy.

This divine spell is specifically used by paladins to fight cultists, and it is even effective against evil gods.

When Valensa was brutally beaten by Velenkasa, she couldn't help but enter her evil god mode, hoping to win a sentence and save face by relying on the power of the evil god.

Then she was hit by the Holy Light Evil-Slaying Slash and started meowing.

Fortunately, Valensa still has half human blood and is extremely resistant to holy light; otherwise, she probably wouldn't just be meowing, but would have been bedridden for at least several days.

While being beaten and meowing, Valensa fell in love with this divine spell at first sight. She immediately unleashed her full talent and comprehension, asking Velenkasa for advice whenever she didn't understand something. She even went so far as to enter Evil God Mode to be hit by the Holy Light Evil Slash to experience the techniques of this divine spell.

The effect was also very obvious. Less than three days after being hit by the Holy Light Slash and making her meow, Valensa forcibly memorized the divine spell with her body. Then, relying on her mental power, she skipped over some details that she still didn't quite understand and was able to use it, and the power was quite good.

When tested on herself, it didn't hurt as much as Velenkasa's slash, but it was still enough to cause real damage.

Even Valencia, who has an extremely high resistance to Holy Light, is no exception; those cultists who rely entirely on evil magic will be even more vulnerable to this attack.

For example, if Valensa knew this move when fighting that Star-level cultist who wanted to carry out a sacrifice at Iris Girls' Academy, she could have silenced him with Moon Kiss and then used Holy Light Slash to send him to his death, making it impossible for him to have a chance to retaliate or continue the ritual.

For the Inner Templars, whose main job is to fight cultists, the Holy Light Slash is a perfect fit.

Apart from the Holy Light Slash, an advanced divine spell of the Holy Light Blade, the second and third divine spells that Velenkasa taught Valenza were entirely new systems.

According to the game, this means a new talent page and skill tree.

All the divine spells Valensa has practiced so far belong to the Holy Light system.

Holy Light magic is the most basic and universal divine magic. It is not exclusive to the Sun Goddess; other divine priests, such as the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Dawn, also possess it.

Even the Sun Goddess's own holy light magic, according to Frigeia, was learned from the Goddess of Light.

Before the Sun Goddess was a goddess, she served as the Holy Maiden of Light for a period of time. Later, when she became a true god of creation, she made the Sun Goddess of Light her attendant.

Although there are few records about the Goddess of Light in the scriptures of the Church of the Sun, they do exist, and Valensa has the authority to see them anyway.

Of course, the Sun Goddess herself learned her Holy Light magic quite well from the Goddess of Light, but that doesn't mean that the Holy Light magic used by the clergy of the Sun Church belongs to the Goddess of Light.

The Sun Goddess had long since surpassed the Goddess of Light in her mastery of Holy Light magic. The Holy Light magic she taught her followers was entirely derived from her own power and was easier to learn and understand.

Paladins below the rank of Radiant, like Valensa, only practice and interact with Holy Light-based divine magic.

The two new divine spells that Velenkasa taught Valencia this time were entirely from the Sun Goddess's own unique divine spell system—the Sunfire Divine Spells.

The first is the most basic Sunfire-type divine spell, similar in status to Holy Light Blade in Holy Light-type divine spells, and is the prerequisite skill for all Sunfire-type divine spells—Sunfire Ray.

It looks similar to the intermediate fire spell, Scorching Ray, but its power is incomparable.

The scorching rays look like red lasers, but they are essentially compressed fire elements. They can be easily defended against with sufficient magic or fire resistance—for example, with a magic-resistant metal shield.

The Sunfire Ray is much stronger. The power of the Sunfire is a divine power unique to the Sun Goddess. In terms of energy level, it is a whole class higher than magic and elemental power, and can even overpower Valensa's evil god power.

When training and instructing Valencia, Velenkasa naturally went easy on her, only burning several of Valencia's shirts and black stockings with her solar flare and burning down the training room once.

However, according to Velenkasa, paladins and priests who are skilled in using the Sunfire Ray can easily penetrate the breath of a dragon of the same level with this move.

Such a powerful divine technique is naturally very difficult to cultivate.

The principle behind the Yangyan Ray itself is not difficult; the difficulty lies in mastering the power of Yangyan.

Chapter 117 Each Person's Gains

As a power that is a level higher than holy light and magic, there are generally two ways to master the power of the sun flame.

The first option is to have your body directly imbued with divine power by the Sun Goddess, and if you are devout and lucky, you can survive and obtain the power of Yangyan.

Many powerful dark creatures with striking appearances were defeated by the Church of the Sun, and then forcibly transformed by the Sun Goddess through divine infusion, just like Rika was thrown into the Holy Light when she was the dungeon lord.

If you can pull through, then welcome your dear sister to the Sun Church family.

If they can't hold on, then the Church of the Sun has once again completed its exorcism.

The High Frost Demons, to which Velenkasha belongs, also mastered the power of the Sun Flame using a similar method. However, instead of causing trouble and being attacked by the Church of the Sun, they voluntarily sought refuge with the Sun Goddess.

As a result, the Sun Goddess also had a craving for astringent things. She not only ate the wings of many high-level frost demons, but also toyed with their bodies and minds. To compensate them, she used a gentle, safe, and efficient method to infuse the high-level frost demons with the power of Yangyan.

Of course, Velenkasa would never say these things herself, nor could the Church of the Sun have such information. They were all said by the first Great Witch who had observed the entire universe with her consciousness for thousands of years.

The second way to master the power of Yang Flame is that a holy priest who has cultivated to a certain level can further condense and sublimate the holy light energy in their body, transforming it into the power of Yang Flame... just like most warrior-level cultivators can transform their pure physical strength into Qi after reaching the Pearl level.

Valencia used the same method, but it was slightly different.

While being beaten by Velenkasa with the power of Yangyan, she repeatedly felt this power with her body, memorized its characteristics and operating method, and then used her mental power to catalyze the Holy Light and forcibly transform it.

The advantage is that she learns very quickly. Normally, it would take an excellent priest about half a year to get a basic grasp of the power of Yangyan after being exposed to it, but Valensa could barely use it in just a few days, which greatly surprised Velenkasa.

The downside is that it consumes a lot of energy.

In numerical terms, Valensa would need to consume 100 units of mental power and 42 units of holy light to generate one unit of solar power.

Using this level of energy lightly would be a huge waste, even though Valensa already has a considerable amount of mental power and holy light within her, she absolutely cannot afford to waste it.

However, this trick can be very useful in certain special circumstances.

The Sunfire Ray is arguably Valensa's strongest ranged attack ability to date. It is powerful enough to break through the defenses of a Radiant-rank expert and is as fast as a laser, making it difficult to dodge. Especially when used in a sneak attack, it can be guaranteed to hit every time.

The only drawback right now is the high cost, but as Valensa continues to grow, she will eventually be able to easily afford this cost and make the Sunfire Ray her most frequently used ranged attack method.

The second solar-based divine spell that Velenkasa taught Valensa was an upgraded version of the solar ray, called Solar Blaze.

The two divine arts are actually quite similar in principle, but the Yangyan Liepo has a higher power output, stronger force, and more astonishing consumption.

If the Sunfire Ray is a laser sniper rifle, then the Sunfire Blaze is like a laser cannon, or perhaps a magical girl's friendship spell.

According to Velenkasa, there is an even more powerful advanced divine spell, Sunfire Break EX, above Sunfire Break. However, this spell is forbidden by the Sun Goddess to be used on planets with intelligent life. Velenkasa has never seen how powerful it is, but she estimates that one use could turn Farron into a second Wasteland.

Such a powerful divine spell, capable of altering the landscape of a continent, is still too far removed from Valensa's capabilities. At most, she can only use the Sunfire Ray, and she can't even unleash the lowest-powered Sunfire Strike... at least not in the Barren Ridge.

Velenkasa will also teach Valensa how to use the Sunfire Slash. Besides the fact that the operating principle of the Sunfire Slash is very similar to that of the Sunfire Ray and is easy to learn, there is also a certain artifact in the cathedral of Fran that can be used to strike the entire territory of the Kingdom of Fran.

As a Knight of the Temple of Farron, Valensa may not be able to use the Sunfire Slash herself, but she must know how the Sunfire Slash works and how to use it, so that she can use that divine artifact when necessary.

After being beaten and taught by Valenkasa for several days, Valenkasa barely managed to meet this requirement.

While Valensa was training with Velenkasa, Friggia and Tia also made some progress in their research on new products for making money.

With Friggia's knowledge and alchemy skills, she could actually create many alchemical products that would shock modern humans. These past few days, Tia has been so shocked and numb.

Unfortunately, these alchemical products either involve a large amount of knowledge or science and technology from previous civilizations, and cannot be mass-produced with current alchemy and production methods.

It's either too advanced, or it's so advanced that once the technology becomes widespread, it could cause a major upheaval or even a complete reshuffling of an industry.

Neither Tia nor Valensa intended to be innovators. They picked and chose from the technologies Friggia had improved in the laboratory, and finally selected a kitchen utensil to test the waters first.

This is a kitchen appliance similar to an induction cooker, and its appearance is also similar to that of an induction cooker, except that a fire-attribute magic crystal installed in the groove of the base replaces the power source.

Its advantages are similar to those of an induction cooker. First, there is no open flame, and it has safety features, making it quite safe to use. Even if it is used by young ladies who have never cooked before, there is no need to worry about them burning themselves or causing a fire if they knock it over.

The second advantage is that, like most home appliances, it offers more precise and convenient operation.

The heat setting has four levels: high, medium, low, and keep warm. It also has a timer function, so that beginners who are learning to cook from recipes won't be confused about the heat and can operate it in a foolproof way.

After a brief discussion, Valensa and Tia named this new kitchen appliance "Fully Automatic Flameless Stove," positioning it as a household alchemy tool.

Two models are currently being designed.

The first model of fully automatic flameless stove is sturdy and durable, and its main customer base is restaurant chefs. It features one-button power control and timer function, which allows professional chefs to easily operate multiple fully automatic flameless stoves to complete multiple dishes at the same time, greatly improving work efficiency.

The second type of fully automatic flameless stove prioritizes safety and uses expensive, luxurious-looking materials as much as possible, along with various decorative elements that do not affect its functionality.

The main customer base for this model is nobles who enjoy cooking for themselves. The gorgeous new alchemical tools are one of the things nobles like to show off when socializing.

Chapter 118 Return to Academy

"Phew~~ I'm finally back."

Standing downstairs in the girls' dormitory of the elite troop of the Battle Formation Academy, Valensa clasped her hands together, flipped them upwards, and stretched.

She took off the paladin armor she almost always wore while serving on the front lines, and instead of her school uniform, she dressed in an outfit that made her look a bit like a bad girl.

She wore a beige, lace-trimmed, ultra-thin summer shirt with only one button fastened, and it was fastened in an asymmetrical way, covering almost nothing completely.

But there was no wardrobe malfunction, because inside the shirt, there was a pair of black, opaque bodysuits that covered her skin completely and showcased her great figure to the fullest.

Her lower body was covered by a dark blue mini skirt that barely reached halfway up her thighs. It was a double-layered pleated skirt with a three-finger-wide soft belt around her waist. The belt buckle was loose and looked like it could be opened with a flick of a finger.

On her feet were a pair of black round-toed leather shoes with a slight heel, but not high—just high enough to feel the heel but not enough to restrict movement.

Just yesterday, the French government officially announced the complete end of the autumn war and that those who had contributed to the victory would be rewarded in the royal palace the day after tomorrow.

As the person who undoubtedly made the greatest contribution in this autumn war, Valensa naturally had to accept the reward and apply for the "Pioneering Order".

Besides this, we need to continue trying to acquire high-quality, attribute-free magic crystals that can be used as energy for the underground ruins, and we also need to collect materials to create a special information solvent that can activate the self-destruct command of the wild beasts.

The second year of the War Academy doesn't have as many or as many courses as the first year, but it's still impossible to skip classes every day. Valensa and Tia haven't graduated yet, and since they're both top students, they still have to attend classes.

So after having dinner at the ruins and doing some post-dinner training, Valensa and Tia returned to the War Academy, leaving Velenkasa to continue watching Friggia's research at the ruins.

It's easy to imagine that Valensa and Tia will be very busy this academic year... They will have to maintain a minimum attendance rate at the War College while also being busy with the development and research of the underground ruins.

"Hey hey, look who's back... Isn't this our war hero?"

As soon as Valencia entered the dormitory building, she heard the voice of her good friend Melody.

Melody was still dressed in a white silk bodysuit studded with rhinestones, which was both dazzling and sexy. Her expression when she spoke and her gait were alluring. Even straight women with boyfriends would find it hard to resist, let alone someone like Valensa, who simply didn't know where to look.

Half of the students at the War Academy are of noble birth and are very well-informed. They already know about Valensa's outrageous feat of slaying the Great Prophet of the Wild Beasts in this war.

There were more than ten girls who were originally discussing this matter while drinking tea and eating desserts in the lounge on the first floor. Now that they saw the protagonist of the story appear, they immediately surrounded her, preventing Valensa from going upstairs. They forcibly pulled her to sit on a large sofa and surrounded her to listen to the story.

Chiba, who was essentially a little devil but particularly fond of pretending to be obedient and cute, was among them. Instead of trying to take a seat on the other sofas next to Valensa, she went behind Valensa, first giggling and blowing into Valensa's ear, then resting her chin on Valensa's head, leaning forward with her weight, her entire petite body feeling as if it had no bones.

"Big sister is really amazing! I knew that these mere wild beasts would be slaughtered by big sister like cutting melons and vegetables."

The soft, adoring tone of her voice was quite comforting, but Chiba's figure was really not good. Her posture of resting her chin on someone else's head and leaning forward made Valensa think of electronic products.

Tablet PC.

If it were when Chiba Grass first arrived last year, many girls who didn't know the truth might have actually thought Chiba Grass was well-behaved and cute.

However, who among those who can get into the elite department is an idiot? Even the freshmen who have only been enrolled for three months have already seen through Chiba's wicked little devil nature.

Immediately, a girl who was also very short, but whose headlights were only slightly smaller than Valensa's, puffed out her chest and sneered, exposing Chiba's feigned innocence:

"Stop pretending! The day before last, I saw you secretly reading a risqué novel about a female knight being captured by orcs. I also heard you muttering that you were going to train in stealth so you could rescue your sister, who was probably being humiliated by wild beasts."

"Well, thank you so much, Cao Cao!"

Valensa first rolled her eyes dramatically, then roughly ruffled Thousand Leaf Grass's long green hair before looking at the other girls with a rather serious expression:

"Although Cao Cao's wild thoughts are purely wild thoughts, there is a very serious cognitive error in them. Do you know what the error is?"

"...Tsk, war heroes are so impressive, they're even testing us now."

Melody muttered a sarcastic remark, then thought about it seriously for a moment:

"Is it because wild beasts are different from the beastmen in erotic novels? When I was practicing the Shining Sword Dance, my teacher who taught me the charm technique said that wild beasts have a completely different aesthetic sense from humans. In the eyes of wild beasts, even the most beautiful women in humans are almost like ugly monsters. The charm technique has very limited effect on wild beasts."

When a female warrior encounters an invincible beast, her attempt to seduce for survival will only hasten her death, much like an obese, ugly woman performing a striptease for humans—it will be seen as mockery and provocation.

So Cao Cao's wild idea was flawed from the start. If Valensa had been defeated by the beasts, she wouldn't have been captured alive—because the beasts wouldn't have even considered her, haha!

"That's it..."

Several of the girls who gathered around seemed to be deep in thought.

People have different views on chastity. Vanguard soldiers are beings who will do anything to achieve victory. Many vanguard soldiers are willing to sacrifice their beauty and body, using seduction to exhaust the enemy's energy before launching a surprise attack as one of their trump cards to defeat the strong with the weak.

"So, if we encounter an invincible wild beast during a mission in the future, what should we do to increase our chances of survival?" another girl immediately asked.

While they have certainly learned many strategies for dealing with similar situations in their theoretical classes, the experience of outstanding peers like Valencia is also valuable.

"Have we encountered an invincible beast...?"

Valensa thought for a moment:
