The story of the black silk female knight

Tia woke up halfway through, but she didn't say much to Tribes. She just whispered to Valensa, and after understanding what was going on, she obediently let Valensa carry her on the journey.

The journey ended at a three-story wooden house resembling a villa. Outside the house, a large area of ​​land was enclosed by fences and magical barriers, mostly medicinal fields used to grow various plant-based magical materials.

Tribes arranged for Valenza and Tia to stay in a guest room on the first floor of the cabin, and warned them not to go upstairs casually, as the Witch of Destruction's own residence, study, and laboratory were upstairs.

Valensa and Tia naturally nodded in agreement, which was the most basic courtesy.

Tribes herself also lived on the first floor, right next to Valensa and Tia.

The cabin didn't seem to be very soundproof; Valensa and Tia could clearly hear Tribes running around on the floor next door from inside their room.

In this situation, it is clearly not advisable to do any extra exercise at night.

Although we can still use a soundproof barrier, using a soundproof barrier is tantamount to telling others that we are planning to do something indecent to others.

If the neighbor were a polite adult, this wouldn't be a problem, but for Tribes...

Valensa strongly suspected that this quirky little girl might have some kind of spying method, so she decided to hold back for now and wait until Alan Feel returned in a couple of days.

Silent all night.

Valensa slept very well, and when she woke up the next day, it was almost 10 a.m.

There was no sign of Tribes in the cabin; only Tia was lying in a rocking chair, sunbathing and playing video games in the yard outside.

"You're finally awake. You can really sleep."

Seeing Valensa stretch and walk out of the cabin, Tia put down her game console and gently patted her belly twice.

"If I don't get up soon, my stomach will be growling."

"I haven't slept this well in a long time... The environment of the Witch's Forest feels perfect for sleeping."

Valensa smiled, glanced around, and, not seeing Tribes either, asked curiously:

"Where is that little girl?"

“She got up early to practice her cultivation… She said that Ms. Ailanfeier would be back tomorrow, and told us to do as we pleased here today, just don’t wander around the second or third floors.”

Tia shrugged:

"So you'd better hurry up and get something to eat, I can't cook."

"Okay... then wait a moment, darling, I'll go to the kitchen and see what delicious food they have."

Valensa went back into the cabin and found the kitchen on the first floor.

The ingredients here are quite plentiful, with a large bucket each of rice and wheat flour, as well as a great variety of vegetables and mushrooms, many of which look very appetizing.

But there were only staple foods, vegetables, and mushrooms. Valensa searched the entire kitchen but couldn't find a single piece of meat that could be used as an ingredient, which made her slightly disappointed.

The Witch's Forest has a much richer variety of creatures than Fran, and the Gourmet Association obtains many of its most expensive ingredients here.

For example, more than half of the expensive and rare ingredients on the list of special pheromone solvent materials come from the Witch Forest.

So when Valensa entered Alan Fehr's kitchen, she wondered if she might happen to find a certain ingredient she needed.

Thanks to the enormous wealth brought by the new trade routes, Valensa has already acquired most of the ingredients on the special pheromone solvent material list. Currently, only 4 types remain. Two of them are from the Witch's Forest, while the other two are special products of the Four Islands Alliance.

Although the vegetables and mushrooms in the kitchen look delicious, a hearty meal is incomplete without meat.

Now that she was in the Witch's Forest, Valensa didn't really want to continue eating the meat she could eat every day in Fran, which was stored in her storage space. She wanted to try some unfamiliar creatures to change things up.

So Valensa first made a pot of mushroom soup and simmered it slowly over the fire. Then she went out of the cabin, intending to find some unfamiliar creatures to catch and eat nearby.

Soon, she spotted a cute antlered deer.

Unlike the antlered deer that can be seen everywhere in the wilderness of Fran, this antlered deer is larger in size, and its body is surrounded by very clear wind elements... This is clearly not an ordinary beast, but a monster, and a monster with a strength of about Pearl level.

Valensa had eaten many kinds of wild animals, including antler deer, roasted, boiled, stir-fried, and deep-fried. But this was the first time she had ever seen a monstrous antler deer.

The antlered deer, which possessed wind magic abilities, wasn't afraid of the ill-intentioned black-stockinged two-legged beast. Instead, it trotted over and rubbed its head against Valensa's leg.

...This is so cute! (Drooling)

Valensa couldn't resist any longer and reached for the antlered deer's neck, intending to serve it to the table.

"what are you doing?"

Just then, Tribes's anxious and angry voice suddenly came, followed by a compressed air ball that hit Valensa on the head.

"Well……"

Valensa simply shook her head and was fine, while the stag looked at her curiously before scurrying away again.

"Ah, my roasted deer leg, boiled sliced ​​meat, and deer and mushroom soup..."

Valensa reached out her hand to the stag with great regret, but ultimately did not attack.

She sighed, turned around, and looked at Cui Bisi, who had angrily flown in front of her:

"Is this deer your pet?"

"It's not a pet... but you can't eat it either!"

Cui Bisi, riding a broomstick with her hands on her hips:

"This isn't Fran... In the Witch's Forest, humans and monsters must coexist peacefully. Do you understand what peaceful coexistence means? The monsters in the safe zone are generally very docile and won't attack humans, so humans can't eat them either!"

Chapter 41 Destruction and Reconciliation

"So it really isn't edible..."

Valensa sighed with regret, then looked curiously at Tribes and asked:

"What would happen if I hadn't been stopped by you and actually ate it?"

"Hmph, then you're in for a rough time."

Cui Bisi threatened, clearly displeased:

"It's just a part of the huge deer herd in this area, and the herd's leader is a Seven-Colored Deer with the strength of a Moon-level being! That Seven-Colored Deer also has a very good relationship with the [Forest Witch], one of the nine witches of the Witch Forest. Even my master treats it with respect!"

"A Moon-level Seven-Colored Deer... Well, I certainly can't afford to mess with it, but according to you, there should be many deer-like monsters living here, right?"

Valensa ignored Tribes's endearing threat and continued to ask curiously:

"If that seven-colored deer really has a good relationship with humans, it shouldn't have turned against humans for the sake of an ordinary member of the deer herd, right? After all, I'm a guest invited by your teacher."

"You... hum!"

Tribes was speechless, so she stopped explaining and instead rode her broomstick, ramming the tip of the handle into Valensa's chest.

"I don't care about any of that! Anyway, Lulu is so cute, you're not allowed to eat Lulu!"

"Okay, okay... I won't eat it, I haven't done anything to that deer yet~~"

Valensa, of course, wouldn't hold a grudge against a cute little girl. She didn't mind being bumped into by someone riding a broomstick, and instead casually ruffled Tribes's hair.

"But people here need to eat meat, right? How do you usually eat meat?"

"Don't touch my head! What if I turn into a big-breasted, brainless glutton like you?"

Tribeca angrily slapped Valensa's hand aside:

"Are you an idiot? If you want to eat meat, just spend money to buy it at the market. The Witch Forest may not have large-scale human towns, but it does have small villages where you can trade."

"Buy it with money?"

This answer was indeed a bit unexpected for Valensa, who had assumed that the people living in the Witch's Forest relied entirely on planting or hunting for food.

"Then where does the meat sold in the market come from?"

"Most of them are sourced from your Kingdom of France."

Tribes replied:

"Of course, there are also those who hunt in the Witch Forest itself... but hunting usually only takes place in dangerous areas where local monsters and humans are not friendly. In places like the Seven-Colored Deer Territory, basically no one hunts deer herds."

"alright, I got it."

Valensa nodded.

In order to avoid further angering Tribes, Valensa had no choice but to abandon her idea of ​​hunting some local specialty meats to try, and instead used the ingredients in her storage space to cook a meal mainly consisting of mushrooms and poultry.

There was also a plate of roasted venison... made from common antlered deer from Fran.

Although Tia, who was already very hungry, still maintained the elegant demeanor of a young lady and ate in small bites, she swallowed much faster. She quickly finished off a large bowl of goose meat and mushroom soup and a piece of bread.

While the little girl Cui Bisi kept saying, "Deer are cute, don't eat deer," she actually wolfed down the fragrant roasted venison, her mouth full of oil.

After lunch, Tribes stopped practicing in the afternoon and instead acted like a responsible tour guide, leading Valensa and Tia to see several scenic spots near the cabin.

After another peaceful and tranquil night, on the third day after Valensa and Tia entered the Witch's Forest, the Witch of Destruction, Elanfiel, finally returned.

"Master~~"

Cui Bisi immediately pounced on her, burying her face deep in Ai Lanfei'er's arms, giving herself a thorough cleansing and a chest-burying attack.

Alanfeel's reaction nearly made Valensa and Tia drop their jaws in astonishment.

This destructive witch, whose bold personality was evident from the Poliland City incident, actually gave Tribes a deep kiss after Tribes looked up, making Tribes blush and shyly turn away.

Then, Elanfeel licked her lips and smiled at the stunned Valensa and Tia:

"Is it strange? When you two kiss, it must be much more passionate and intense than this, right?"

"...This is different, isn't it, Sister Alan Feier?"

Valensa was speechless for a while before replying with a wry smile:

“Tia and I are a couple, so it’s okay for us to be affectionate... But Sister Elanfiel, you and Tribes are master and apprentice... and Tribes is still so young.”

"What's wrong with a master and apprentice? There's no law in France that says a master can't kiss his apprentice on the lips, is there?"

Alan Fair gave Valensa a strange look:

"Besides... I've always raised this little apprentice as my future wife, so don't worry that I'm just playing with her. I'll officially marry her when she's a little older!"

"...Sister Alanfeier, you're really cruel!"

Having said that, Valensa naturally wouldn't say anything more... She's one of the continent's top witches of destruction, so what's wrong with raising a little apprentice as a wife?

Neither of them were the type of businessmen or politicians who enjoyed endless pleasantries. After a few simple words to warm up the atmosphere, Valensa took the opportunity to ask Alan Fehr the real purpose of her invitation.

"Hmm... come with me first."

Instead of answering directly, Elanfiel led Valensa and Tia upstairs into a room on the second floor with several large bookshelves and closed the door.

Even Valensa, a complete novice in magic theory who relied entirely on intimidating magical elements to cast spells, could clearly sense that there was a powerful magical barrier in the room that could block any means of spying or eavesdropping from the outside.

"I need your help, Valensa."

After sitting down on a padded wooden chair with armrests in the room, Ailan Feier didn't stand on ceremony. She crossed her legs beneath her deep red V-neck gown and asked directly:

"Before I bring this up, I hope Valencia can tell me the truth—just how strong is your immunity to toxic ingredients?"

"Well..."

Valensa twirled a lock of her long brown hair behind her ear, thought for a moment, and then gave a cautious answer:

"If I eat it with my mouth, as long as the toxic ingredients are below the Law level, they should not be able to harm me."

"Are you sure? I'm not joking. If you're exaggerating, it might make me overestimate your abilities and put you in danger."

Ailanfeier's eyes lit up, but she still cautiously asked again.

"determine."

Valensa nodded confidently this time:

"I've eaten quite a lot of weird and wonderful things, but I only had an upset stomach once, not from poisoning, but just from indigestion."

"That's good!"

Snapped.

Elanfeier snapped her fingers excitedly, then dropped the pretense and stated her request directly:

"I need to use your ability, Valencia, to help me complete a challenge set by the Harmony Witch and obtain the reward she promised... It's a very good potion that will greatly help Tribes' growth, and I'm determined to get it."

"...Sister Alanfeier, you really dote on Tribes."
