The story of the black silk female knight

This is truly a capitalist idea... or rather, there aren't enough streetlights to hang them all, so they need to be mounted on satellites.

Valensa mentally cursed Wei's boss.

But since it's not me or my friends and family who are being persecuted by capitalists, what does it matter to me how much of a scoundrel capitalists are?

Thinking this, Valensa smiled and nodded:

“No problem… The Church of the Sun has taken many items from necromancers, and there’s a high probability that one of them will meet this requirement. I’ll look for it for you in the next couple of days.”

"Okay, it's settled then."

Wei smiled and picked up another glass of fruit wine, feeding it to the beautiful young lady in her arms, and then having the young lady feed her, enjoying each sip for more than ten seconds.

Afterwards, she put down her wine glass, kissed the young woman on the cheek, and then stuffed two of the gold coins she had received from Valensa into the young woman's collar before saying to Valensa:

"The same old rule applies. I'll summon you in three days, and you'll come to me to complete the transaction."

"Okay, same as always, I'll come to your place in three days to complete the transaction."

Valensa nodded, smiled, and stood up. She pushed the two pretty young women who had been serving her drinks and giving her massages towards Vivi's side, and said to them in Common Tongue:

"Take good care of this distinguished guest. No matter what strange requests she makes, try your best to fulfill them as long as she is not harmed. You will receive double the bonus and performance bonus."

"Yes, Lady Valencia~~" x4

Four stunning young women in low-cut, high-slit, silky dresses responded in unison.

"Have fun, sis. I'll leave you alone in about ten minutes."

Valensa nodded approvingly at the ladies, blew a kiss to Vivi, and then turned and left the Pink Rose private room.

She needed to prepare the goods to be traded to Wei.

The shield magic scroll and shield magic jewelry are very simple.

Ordinary one-time shield magic scrolls are quite expensive for ordinary people, but the manufacturing process has long been ready for mass production. As long as you have money, you can buy them. Nora Merchant Guild's magic item shop sells them, and they have never been out of stock.

Rechargeable shield magic jewelry is more complicated and requires a skilled alchemist to make it.

However, Valensa had accumulated quite a few rare purple magic jewelry pieces while opening blind boxes at the Dimensional Hardware Store, some of which had shield functions.

These magical jewels aren't very useful to Valensa. She's already traded them with her friends, and selling the rest directly to the shop would be too much of a loss. Finding buyers would be too much trouble. It's better to trade them for some technologically advanced weapons and equipment for Vido.

In short, the magical jewelry that Wei wanted shouldn't be a problem.

The real problem is Miyuki Arasaka's request—a necromancy spell that can revive the dead and preserve their work abilities from their previous life.

If Arasaka Miyuki were a magician, the requirement would actually be quite simple. There would be no need to seek out the Great Witch Friggia; Tia and Suzuran could provide several necromancy spells that meet the conditions.

Unfortunately, there are no magicians in the cyberpunk world, which means Valensa has to come up with a magical item that even a non-magical person can use—which is a bit difficult.

Unlike shield spells that can be used mindlessly by tearing open a magic scroll, most undead resurrection spells require a certain amount of skill. If the user does not have magical knowledge, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect by relying solely on magic scrolls and magic jewelry.

Fortunately, Valensa has some connections with the Church of the Sun. Over the years, the Church of the Sun has punished countless necromancers who violated the rules and has also confiscated many necromancy items, among which there might be something that can satisfy Arasaka Miyuki's request.

Valensa decided to try her luck at the Church of the Sun first. If all else failed, she could use the essence of primordial life energy as a price to have Friggia use her fantasy alchemy to create one for her... For a great witch who had once reached the state of pseudo-omniscience and pseudo-omnipotence, this shouldn't be too difficult, right?

With that in mind, Valensa soon arrived at the Church of the Sun, greeting the priests, paladins, and nuns she encountered along the way in a friendly and cordial manner, and went straight into Fran's office.

"……Alas?"

Before Valensa could even ask, Fran first sniffed, then frowned, giving Valensa a look of disgust.

"Why do you smell like that perfume only bad women use? You didn't sneak off to drink at brothels behind Tia's back again, did you? This time I'm not covering for you... Tia is so smart, I always feel like she's seen right through me."

"No, no... How could a pure and upright paladin like me do something as shameless as sneaking off to drink with brothels?"

Valensa offered a serious explanation, but seeing Fran's disbelief, she shrugged helplessly.

"It's really not that I want to go to that kind of place... but my best friend likes it, and she rarely comes here to play, so I can't leave without going with her."

"Tch, an excuse!"

Fran curled her lip in disdain and snorted irritably:

"So what? You're afraid to let Tia know again, and you want me to help cover it up by saying that you were practicing divine arts with me before?"

"Yes, yes... oh no!"

Valensa almost nodded in agreement, but quickly explained after realizing what she had said:

“My friend Tia knows about this, and we went to Pink Rose before, so there’s no need to hide it from Tia… I’m here this time to ask Fran for your help with something else.”

"what is the matter?"

Fran then stopped working on the documents she was processing and showed a curious expression.

"Is such that……"

Valensa explained to Fran the necromancy effect that Arasaka Miyuki wanted, and asked if there was anything among the necromancy items confiscated by the church that could meet the requirements, and what procedures she would need to go through to retrieve that item.

"Now that you have the authority of an Inner Templar Knight, getting these things is very easy."

Fran thought for a moment and smiled:

"Write a borrowing application report first, then a wear and tear report, and you'll be fine... Sister Rika has gotten several decent pieces of equipment this way. As long as it's not too outrageous, the higher-ups usually turn a blind eye to this kind of thing... You know, our church has always been very tolerant of its brothers and sisters."

“Yes, I know.” Valensa nodded with a smile.

"As for what you want... ummmm."

Fran thought for a while longer, then shook her head:

“I don’t know if there are any that meet the criteria. Our church’s warehouse has just too many confiscated illegal magical items… Here, I’ll get you a list later, and you can look it up yourself.”

Chapter 155 Delivery and Cleanup Begins

With Fran's help, Valensa managed to find a suitable prop in the Sun Church's warehouse.

It was a small altar, about the size of an offering table, a ritualistic necromancy tool. It was commissioned by a wealthy businessman from a wanted necromancer at a high price, in order to see his deceased relatives again.

Later, the necromancer was captured by the Church of the Sun, and the wealthy merchant was also arrested. The necromancer's magic item was confiscated by the Church of the Sun and stored in the church's warehouse.

Because it is intended for wealthy individuals who do not possess any magic, and its purpose is to reunite with loved ones rather than to fight, this small altar does not require the user to have magical abilities. The resurrected spirits can also retain their consciousness and memories from their previous lives, naturally including the ability to engage in productive work.

By simply adding dark, neutral, water, and earth elemental magic crystal powders in the correct proportions, along with items frequently used by the deceased in life, the small altar can create a mud golem that looks almost identical to a human, and attach a portion of the deceased's soul to the mud golem.

Then, by feeding them with the blood of live chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and other livestock, the mud golems can continue to exist as undead creatures... or work indefinitely, of course.

Anyway, when the delivery was made in the cyberpunk world, Wei was very satisfied with the small altar, and Arasaka Miyuki, who was watching it remotely through Wei's eyes, was also very satisfied.

Valensa was also very satisfied with the goods she received.

First, there were automatic rifles in boxes of ten. Vivi emptied three warehouses for Valensa, each containing more than 500 boxes, along with a large quantity of ammunition.

To ensure Valensa had an ammunition supply, Vivi not only donated a large quantity of bullets but also directly provided Valensa with a fully automated bullet production line.

The production line was all set up. Once Valencia moved back, all she had to do was put copper blocks and gunpowder into the material inlet, and bullets would be produced continuously from the production line.

Of course, the energy issue still needs to be resolved if this production line is to be used.

So what Vivi gave Valensa were four reactors without nuclear fuel, all of the type used on nuclear submarines, and all brand new ones that had just come off the production line.

The power of this small nuclear reactor certainly can't compare to that of a nuclear power plant, but four of them working together are definitely enough.

Along with the small nuclear reactor, 60 guided missiles, which were originally intended to be mounted on nuclear submarines, and the corresponding vertical launch units were also delivered.

These missiles are also ready for use at any time, and their warheads are equipped with filling slots. By filling them with some radioactive material, they can be used as dirty bombs immediately.

It can be said that, apart from the fact that nuclear fuel was impossible to provide, Vi, or rather Miyuki Arasaka, gave Valensa the power and weapons systems of the nuclear submarine.

After the transaction, which pleased both parties, they went about their own business.

Arasaka Corporation revives outstanding employees who have died suddenly or naturally, allowing them to continue working and making the company bigger and stronger.

Valensa then gave each of Tia and the skeleton soldiers from Suzuran an automatic rifle, and showed the nuclear reactor to Friggia, asking her if there was a way to convert nuclear energy into magic, and whether there was any nuclear fuel in this world that could replace uranium and plutonium.

Converting nuclear energy into magic was not a problem for the once pseudo-omniscient and pseudo-omnipotent Great Witch; she could modify the reactor at any time using her imaginary alchemy.

With four small reactors, two will be used to keep the ruins running, one to generate electricity, and one to produce magic—it'll be perfect.

But to achieve this goal, usable nuclear fuel must be found.

The Great Witch had no good solution to this... The Eve civilization had long since stopped using nuclear energy. For the Eve civilization at its peak, nuclear energy was not even as good as the steam engine in Valensa's previous life.

In the new era, Eve's technology had not yet developed, and abundant magic power was far more useful than nuclear energy, so Friggia had never really cared whether there were radioactive minerals like uranium and plutonium on the continent of Frenoia.

After that, she was nailed underground for over a thousand years, and she had long since lost her pseudo-omniscience. She was less aware of the current situation than Valensa and Tia.

However, Friggia agreed with Valensa's analysis—since the natural environment of Eve is not much different from that of Earth, Eve should also have the natural minerals that exist on Earth. It's just that radioactive minerals are unlikely to be used as magical materials, so they have never been developed.

Therefore, Valensa had to make another trip to the Adventurers' Guild and post a bounty quest to collect clues about possible radioactive minerals.

This matter is not something that can be resolved in the short term, and there's no use in Valensa being anxious.

She and Tia maintained a minimum attendance rate for training at school, spending the rest of their time fighting wild beasts in the desolate lands.

The skeleton army equipped with automatic rifles was surprisingly effective; often, a few hundred skeletons could mow down tens of thousands of ordinary beast warriors in a single burst of fire.

Even if the beast warriors launch a charge, the skeleton soldiers can hide within the range where the special pheromone solvent is continuously effective, leaving the beasts frustrated and helpless as they take hits for nothing.

Some Pearl and Lighthouse-level Beast Warlocks, who can use ranged attacks, can threaten skeletons with spells such as fireballs or lightning bolts, while automatic rifle bullets often cannot penetrate these warlocks' shields.

In this situation, it would be very inefficient to simply overwhelm them with skeleton soldiers. Valensa would personally take action and assassinate the Pearl-level and Lighthouse-level beast sorcerers one by one.

Anyway, Valensa has the Evil God Mode as her trump card. Even if there are too many wild beasts and she can't defeat them, she can easily retreat to the safe zone where the special pheromone solvent continues to work. She can come and go freely in various wild beast camps and kill the wild beasts without any temper.

Unfortunately, Valensa didn't get to enjoy herself for long before a Star-level warrior arrived from the Wild Beasts.

This Star-level warrior does nothing but beat Valensa up every time... Ever since it personally joined the defensive battle, Valensa's attempts to assassinate the Beast Warlock have never succeeded.

Valensa tried to ask Velenkasa for help, but the saint refused and told Valensa something else:

"It's not that I don't want to take action, but that I can't... On this desolate land, there is another peak Moon-level being, most likely the chieftain of the Wild Beasts."

I can sense its presence, and it must be able to sense me too... If I help you defeat the Star Glory who is eyeing you, the Great Chieftain will most likely take action personally.

I'm not afraid of it, but if the two of us fight with all our might here, this ruin might not be able to withstand the aftershocks of our battle.

Chapter 156 Development and Turning Point

The operation to clear the wild beasts around the underground ruins has temporarily reached a stalemate, and Valensa's half-empty land deed remains unusable.

The special pheromone solvent that can activate the self-destruct command within the beast has a continuous effective range of approximately 14 kilometers in radius, while the territory Valensa obtained through the "Expansion Order" has a radius of 20 kilometers.

The beasts camped out within a 14-kilometer radius and refused to retreat. Moreover, as Valensa launched an attack with skeleton soldiers, the beasts not only did not reduce their garrison, but also sent reinforcements.

The total number of wild beasts in the ring-shaped area outside the underground ruins has now exceeded 100,000, including a Star-level warrior and hundreds of Lighthouse and Pearl-level sorcerers.

With the power Valensa currently has, it would be difficult to drive these wild beasts back another 6 kilometers and hold out until the land deed ceremony is over.

Fortunately, thanks to the sustained effect of the special pheromone solvent, the wild beasts were unable to get too close to the underground ruins.

The two sides are mostly locked in a standoff and engaging in harassment warfare.

Time passed slowly, and we entered the last month of winter.

The Magic Edition Induction Cooker, also known as the fully automatic flameless cooker, was launched more than half a month ago and has achieved great success.

This portable, easy-to-use stove, which also had no open flame, was more popular with adventurers and housewives than Valensa had imagined.

With the addition of Nora Chamber of Commerce's various promotional methods, demand immediately exceeded supply.

Valensa and Tia made some money from this, but the Nora Chamber of Commerce made even more.

The Adventurers' Guild has also been sending back a lot of news about radioactive minerals.

Because Valencia offered such generous bounties, some adventurers have even become geologists, spending their days searching for radioactive minerals.

Adhering to the principle of "better to make a wasted trip than to miss an opportunity," Valensa took every piece of news with concrete evidence of a potential bounty very seriously, and she would almost always go to the site to investigate after receiving a tip.

Unfortunately, every time I went there full of enthusiasm, I returned disappointed.

The world does indeed have naturally occurring radioactive ores, but perhaps due to magical influences, these ores are extremely unstable and unsuitable for use as nuclear fuel.

The Great Witch Frigia's fantastical alchemy can indeed forcibly turn these radioactive ores into usable nuclear fuel, but she also needs energy to activate her fantastical alchemy. In fact, the energy loss may be greater than the energy provided by the nuclear fuel obtained after conversion, making it a losing proposition.

Valensa said it was impossible not to be disappointed, but she didn't give up—the bounty was still hanging in the Adventurers' Guild, and who knows when she might actually reap a real reward?

The territory they truly desired was hampered in its expansion due to the tenacity of the wild beasts, so the Mawsmora Basin, which served as a false target, could not be expanded too smoothly either.

To this end, Valensa took the time to hire two adventurer teams that were much weaker than the Red Cloud Adventurer Group and went camping in the Mawsmora Basin twice. On one occasion, she deliberately got ambushed by the cave monsters at night and fled back in a sorry state.

The collection of materials related to special pheromone solvents has also yielded significant results during this period.
