The story of the black silk female knight

Like a cardboard box before a lightsaber, the water armor, after being shattered by the powerful jet of water, was easily broken through by the sword light, whose power was almost undiminished, and it slashed fiercely at those tentacles.

! !

The Night Jellyfish cried out in pain and fear. Its tentacles snapped off one by one, like the hair of a female knight in a martial arts drama being swept by a sword, and fell into the sea. Many of them landed directly next to Valensa.

Happiness came so suddenly that Valencia was momentarily stunned... But what surprised her was not that she had encountered a windfall, but that the unknown swordsman was stronger than she had imagined.

Who could it be?

After quickly storing the tentacles around her into her storage space, Valensa still couldn't resist her curiosity. Risking being exposed and possibly getting caught up in a battle, she used her Insight Divine Magic and Mind Power to enhance her vision and looked due east.

Finally saw it.

A greatsword, wider than a skateboard and longer than a car, floats in the air, with a beautiful woman in palace attire and white stockings standing on its blade.

The palace attire worn by the beauty was completely different from the clothing style of the Frenoia continent. It was more like the ancient Chinese costume from Valensa's previous life, with a style somewhat similar to Tang Dynasty palace attire, the kind that only the most noble women could wear.

Because of her enhanced vision, Valensa could clearly see through the light gauze of the palace dress that a very exquisite golden phoenix was embroidered on the red bodice on the beauty's chest.

If the prototype of the civilization of the Eastern Continent is indeed similar to the ancient civilization of the Eastern Continent on Earth, then clothes printed with dragon and phoenix patterns would not be something that just anyone could wear.

A super strong expert from the Eastern royal family? What is she doing here?

With a touch of curiosity, Valensa examined the sword at the woman's feet, the woman's feet, the woman's legs, and the woman's clothes before finally looking at the woman's face.

"Oh my God!"

Then Valensa was terrified, her eyes filled with horror.

To be honest, having lived in this magical world for 20 years, Valensa has seen quite a few hideous monsters and monstrous creatures, but she has never been frightened by their appearance.

But this time she was truly frightened, or rather, chilled to the bone, and her whole body broke out in goosebumps.

The woman in palace attire who held the sword was extremely beautiful in every other part of her body... her skin was as white as snow, her figure was curvaceous, and her temperament was like that of a celestial being.

Only her face... Actually, her features are also very beautiful, all of them are of the standard of an absolute beauty.

But... it grew in the wrong place.

Her eyes and mouth are reversed.

Where there should be a pair of dark eyes are two cherry-like lips that make one want to kiss them.

Above his chin was a huge, single black eye, flashing a fierce light that made people tremble involuntarily.

Chapter 59 Arrival at Sword Island

This is too creepy.

Valensa couldn't help but shiver in the water.

If it's a hideous monster to begin with, that's fine. People can accept things with a terrifying art style no matter how outrageous their appearance is.

But this woman in palace attire wielding a sword is undeniably a stunning beauty in every other way, except for the fact that where her eyes are, there are two mouths and a single large eye on her chin... which makes her look particularly uncomfortable and awkward.

With her looks, if Valencia had posted a selfie of her face in a group chat in her previous life, she would definitely have been banned by the administrator or even given a one-way ticket on the plane!

Even more frightening was that the woman in palace attire holding a sword seemed to sense Valensa's gaze, and the large eyes on her chin actually looked in Valensa's direction.

Valensa shuddered again, her back tingling, as if she were a mouse being watched by a cat.

Meanwhile, the two cherry-like mouths of the woman in palace attire holding a sword split open as if she wanted to laugh, revealing a total of four rows of white teeth.

"Oh my God!"

Valensa dared not look any longer or linger any longer.

Since she already had the tentacles of the Night Jellyfish, Valensa immediately activated her Moon Kiss ability and ran away, disappearing directly into the water.

When they returned to Tia's side, it seemed that Tia and the others had just returned to the inn from the trade fair. Tia hadn't even had time to take a bath yet and was sitting in a chair taking off her white stockings, while Moon Kiss was placed on the table next to her.

When Valensa returned, she snatched Tia's white stockings without saying a word, took a deep breath, and her tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Tia initially glared angrily at Valensa, but seeing that Valensa's terrified expression was genuine, and remembering that Valensa had just faced a Moonlit Monster, she became worried.

"What's wrong? Is that Night Jellyfish really that scary?"

"...Phew~~"

Valensa took another deep breath, subtly removing Tia's original white stockings, before kneeling on the carpet with a look of utter distress, pressing her face against Tia's legs:

"The Night Jellyfish isn't scary; what's scary is that strange, eerie woman..."

Valensa did not hide anything and told Tia about her previous experiences.

Tia listened attentively, gently stroking Valensa's long brown hair as if soothing a pet, until Valensa finished recounting her experiences, at which point Tia frowned deeply.

"A person whose eyes and mouth are in reverse positions, who flies on a sword and has superb swordsmanship, and who wears clothing that is likely exclusive to women of the royal family of the Eastern Continent... Hmm, I have never seen any relevant records, neither in our family's archives nor in the records of the Sage's Tower."

Tia was studious from a young age, especially fond of reading. Sometimes, when she and Valensa had deep conversations at night, she would read a book while letting Valensa do the work herself.

Even if Tia didn't know the truth, she would still know some basic knowledge and secrets about the entire continent of Frenoia from various books.

Even Tia had never heard of such a strange and bizarre woman in palace attire wielding a sword; she was most likely from the mysterious Eastern Continent.

But what would a top expert from the Eastern Continent do at the Four Islands Alliance?

Why did she attack that night jellyfish? What was her conspiracy?

I just happened to run into her, and she saw me too. What if she comes to my door to kill me?

Valensa became increasingly panicked; she was afraid of the worst-case scenario.

"Let's go and call Cao Cao and Melody. We're checking out tonight! It's not safe here, and we don't want to cause trouble for others."

Although Tia thought Valensa was being a bit overly pessimistic, she agreed that it was always good to be cautious.

Fortunately, everyone had just returned from the trade fair and hadn't had time to do many things, so they didn't encounter any awkward situations.

Valensa and her party checked out overnight, and Di Tangbu, who was in charge of their reception, immediately learned of this and rushed over to inquire about the situation.

Valensa thought about it. After all, the Imperial Family were the administrators of Mirror Island. If that strange woman in palace attire wielding a sword really had some kind of conspiracy, the Imperial Family could avoid losses by making preparations in advance.

So Valensa told Teidou about her experience of obtaining the tentacles of the Night Jellyfish.

Knowing that Valensa checked out of the hotel overnight for fear of being implicated by a powerful figure suspected to be at the peak of the Moon Radiance realm, Ditang Bu first expressed his gratitude, and then asked if there was anything he could do to help, and what Valensa's plans were.

"I plan to stay at the Sun Church in your Chuyun City for two days with my friends."

There's nothing to hide, Valensa said frankly:

"If it's not too much trouble, I hope Young Master Bu can keep an eye out for intelligence and see if any suspicious people have entered Chuyun City in the past two days."

“That’s easy to say… As the administrators of Mirror Island, our Ditang family has the responsibility and obligation to protect Her Majesty the Queen from danger and safeguard the people.” Ditang Bu readily agreed.

After quickly checking out and saying goodbye to Di Tangbu, Valensa and her friends headed straight for the Sun Church in Chuyun City.

During the first half of the month, while traveling around the island, Valensa naturally visited the local cathedral.

There were no acquaintances of Valensa among the clergy here, but they were still kind and friendly to their brothers and sisters who belonged to the same church.

In response to Valensa's plea for help, the High Priest of Chuyun City readily offered assistance. He not only made proper arrangements for Valensa and her party to stay at the cathedral, but also recalled a captain of the Radiant Paladin who was stationed in the fishing village on the island's edge, and adjusted the cathedral's protective artifacts to a state where they could be activated at any time.

Even if that strange woman with her eyes and mouth in the wrong place really comes knocking, the combination of three Star Glory Clerics and the artifact can at least hold them off for a while, enough to call for reinforcements through the Holy Path.

Moreover, Chuyun City is not only home to the Church of the Sun, but it is also the largest city in terms of population, exceeding 60% of the Four Islands Alliance. Queen Himiko would never allow anyone to act recklessly... If that strange woman really comes knocking on our door to cause trouble, Queen Himiko will most likely take action herself, so there's even less to fear.

So Valensa and her companions stayed temporarily at the Church of the Sun, intending to keep a low profile for two days to observe the situation before making any further plans.

On the night of her arrival, Valensa encountered an acquaintance from the trade fair during prayer time.

It was that female student who was coerced by the scumbag professor and attempted to assassinate him at the trade fair.

No, she could no longer be called a female student; instead, she had changed into a novice nun's habit and was kneeling before the statue of the sun goddess, receiving baptism from another full-fledged nun.

Out of curiosity, Valensa asked and learned that the Imperial Family had already resolved the assassination attempt.

The girl was coerced into taking such an extreme step by the scumbag professor. Although her situation is pitiful, she did attempt murder in a public place and cannot escape any punishment.

So she was forced to take a year off from school. During this year, she would temporarily live in the Sun Church as a novice nun to practice penance and repentance—she would have to do voluntary labor and receive ideological education every day. If she performed well, she could continue her studies after a year.

The scumbag professor who coerced the girl has been notified by the Teidang family to his school that he will be dismissed from all positions, pay a fine, and serve three years in prison.

Even if he is released after serving his sentence in three years, this scumbag professor will no longer be able to work in education. Moreover, he is just a theorist with little spiritual ability, so he will either have to be supported by his family or go to work as a laborer.

It's clear that the Imperial family knew that although Valensa had personally saved the scumbag professor's life, they felt more sympathy for the girl, so the verdict was slightly biased towards the girl, but overall it was still fair.

The girl had calmed down considerably and was praying devoutly under the guidance of the nuns.

……

Two days passed quickly, and intelligence from both the Sun Church and the Imperial Family indicated that no suspicious individuals had landed on Mirror Island.

The Imperial Family later sent people to investigate the place where the strange woman fought the Night Jellyfish. They did find traces of a battle between many powerful individuals, but these traces mostly belonged to the Night Jellyfish. They found no clues about the strange woman.

Valensa hadn't been idle these past two days either. She consulted the Sun Church's database and even used divine communication to remotely connect with Velenkasa and Friedia, but she didn't get any information about the strange woman.

Even Friggia, who was once almost omniscient, seemed to be hearing for the first time about a strange existence whose entire body was like that of a human beauty except for its eyes and mouth. She was very curious and instructed Valensa that if she could defeat the opponent, she should collect some body samples so that she could study them.

Valensa could only smile wryly... She probably couldn't even beat the Night Jellyfish, let alone the strange woman who could easily crush it.

However, perhaps it is precisely because Valenza's strength is too weak for the strange woman that the strange woman is so indifferent to being seen by Valenza.

In short, Valensa seemed to be overly cautious this time... She carefully hid herself and prepared for a tough battle with a powerful enemy, but the enemy never appeared.

Since that's the case, let's continue the trip as planned.

First, go to Sword Island to see the Demon Ninja Village where the Thousand-Leaf Grass grew, then go to the small village mentioned by the weapons merchant at the trade fair to find out about the Radiation Dagger.

If we could find stable nuclear materials or related technologies, that would be ideal.

Just as Mirror Island is under the management of the Teido family, Sword Island can be considered the territory of the Chiba family.

Unlike Mirror Island, which is primarily a civilian island, Sword Island is more like a military base for the Four Islands Alliance, and ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats cannot go there casually.

So, although Chiba was somewhat reluctant, she still contacted the Chiba family's stronghold in Chuyun City and arranged a small boat to Sword Island.

Completely different from the little brat she was in front of Valensa and the others, Chiba was a cold, emotionless loli when facing her family... The contrast was so great that Valensa even wondered if Chiba's soul had been replaced.

Valensa only felt relieved when Chiba Grass, while maintaining her expressionless face and giving orders to her family subordinates in a flat tone, secretly peeked out from under her fishnet stockings to tease Valensa... This was the Chiba Grass she knew.

The Chiba family hardly engages in business; their income comes entirely from the funds and rewards provided by Queen Himika.

Therefore, the Chiba family did not have the kind of merchant ship that Valensa and her group had taken when they came to the Four Islands Alliance. They did have a few warships, but they were clearly not suitable for guests.

In the end, the Chiba family arranged for Valensa and her group to use a small boat, which was used by the elite anti-demon ninja squad when carrying out combat missions at sea.

The small boat is only about 10 meters long, about the same size as a dump truck, and looks like a toy compared to those 10,000-ton ships.

Without armor or weapons, it seems quite insecure.

However, ninjas never relied on weapons and armor to protect themselves at sea; instead, they relied on their ability to remain hidden and difficult to detect.

This small boat, standard equipment for elite ninja squads, comes with stealth capabilities, making it difficult for sea monsters to detect it. It is also very fast, reaching speeds of around 140 kilometers per hour.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. The comfort level is completely incomparable to that of a large merchant ship... After all, this small boat is strictly speaking a military vehicle.

Fortunately, the distance between Mirror Island and Sword Island is not far. At the speed of the ninja boat, it can be reached in half a day if you travel at full speed.

Valensa and her family went to the dock to board the boat after having breakfast, and arrived in the afternoon when it was still bright.

"Phew~~ Finally home~~"

Chiba was the first to jump off the small boat, and then stretched and yawned... She was the only one who could drive this kind of small boat used by ninjas, and she was the one who had the hardest journey.

"Thank you for your hard work, Cao Cao~"

Valensa was the second to step out of the small boat. She casually patted Thousand Leaf Grass's bottom, then grabbed Thousand Leaf Grass's waist with both hands and lifted her up in front of her.

"Here, as a reward, I'll lift you up high!"

"Big sister, are you an idiot?"

Chiba immediately struggled in embarrassment and anger, kicking her two little legs backward repeatedly. Her small feet, clad in fishnet stockings and tabi socks, kept hitting Valensa's breastplate with loud thuds.

Valensa only put Thousand Leaf Grass down after noticing other figures nearby, maintaining Thousand Leaf Grass's image as a emotionless, expressionless person within the family.

There's no way around it; composure is a very important quality for ninjas. Chiba was taught from a young age to suppress her emotions and not show her feelings.

But Thousand Leaf Grass clearly has a more lively nature, which was suppressed by this kind of education. That's why she turned into a little devil as soon as she arrived in Fran. The more unrestrained, exciting, and shameless the things, the more she liked them.

"what?"

Chiba originally thought that the people passing by would be from the ninja village, but to Chiba's surprise, it turned out to be a group of fully armed samurai escorting several children who were about ten years old but dressed in gorgeous clothes.
