The story of the black silk female knight

"I came to find you because I was looking for the Fairy Dragon Clan... I once fought alongside the Fairy Dragon Princess Cinderella. She enchanted a weapon I had given her with moon magic, but the enchantment failed recently. I was very worried that something might have happened to Sister Cinderella, but I didn't know the location of the Fairy Dragon Clan's lair, so I contacted your Moon Worship Tribe through Sister Lu."

"You know Lady Cinderella?"

The elves' attitude did indeed change; they even lowered the arrow aimed at Valensa's head, but they remained vigilant.

"Let me see the weapon that Lady Cinderella has enchanted!"

"Here, this is it."

Valensa was prepared; she took out the Moon Kiss and offered it to her with both hands.

She wasn't afraid that the elf would snatch the weapon and run away... During the standoff, she had already figured out that this elf was similar to the High Priest of North Blade Bay on Sword Island; he was also a Radiant Rank elf who had reached that rank through age, and his actual combat strength wasn't very high. Valensa was confident that she could beat up several elves like this by herself.

However, the elf didn't run away. She even proactively removed her transparent disguise, jogged over to Valensa's side, and carefully took Moonkiss with both hands to examine it closely. With a hint of fanaticism, she licked the blade with her tongue.

"No mistake...this is definitely Lady Cinderella's scent..."

"...So you're Cinderella's comrade-in-arms."

The elf finally stopped being hostile towards Valensa, but gave her a strange glare before extending a hand and introducing herself:

"My name is Cecilia, and I am one of the warrior leaders of the Moon Worship Tribe. Welcome."

"Thank you."

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief and gently shook hands with Cessie:

"Valenza Bader, just call me Valenza... How is Sister Dregran now? Is she in some trouble?"

"This……"

Cecilia hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head:

“Although your identity is special, this concerns Lady Cinderella’s safety, so I cannot answer your question immediately. I must first consult with the other adults… Please come to the tribe with me.”

"also."

Valensa did not insist.

"follow me."

Cassio took Valensa's hand, but instead of pulling her in any direction, she passed a minty coolness through her palm to Valensa.

Valensa did not resist; she was quickly enveloped by the coolness, and then her mind cleared, and the scene before her completely changed.

"Oh wow~~"

Amid gasps of amazement, Valensa couldn't help but tilt her head back and look at the enormous creature before her.

The Elf Mother Tree in North Blade Bay of Sword Island is a full 300 meters tall with a canopy that stretches for a kilometer, making it a super giant tree. But compared to the Elf Mother Tree in front of us, it's like a little rabbit at the feet of an elephant.

The Elf Mother Tree of the Baiyue Tribe is likely over 5000 meters tall, and its top is covered with snow that never melts, like a white hat.

The canopy's coverage exceeds that of any human city on the continent of Frenoia, and it is in no way inferior to metropolises with tens of millions of inhabitants in technologically advanced civilizations.

Each branch was thicker than the main road in the city, which could accommodate multiple horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the various houses built on the branches looked like little sparrows on the roof of a carriage.

"I...I think...no, I've been here before!"

Valensa immediately remembered:

"After fighting alongside Sister Dregran that time, she took me to the place where she entertained guests in human form, which was on a branch of this tree... Unfortunately, I was too weak at the time to even see the whole tree clearly."

"Yes, Lady Cinderella does live here... Both her house in human form and her nest in dragon form are on our mother tree... Come with me."

As Cecilia spoke, she walked toward the mother tree, and Valensa quickly followed.

Unlike the elves of Northblade Bay who prefer to build their houses in wooden spheres hanging from trees, the elves of the Moon Worship Tribe prefer to build their towns on thick tree branches.

Valensa observed that the elves lived in very good conditions; at the very least, their housing was quite spacious, and almost every elf had their own manor.

Following Cecilia uphill for about 10 minutes, Cecilia stopped when she reached a tree branch that was estimated to be more than 2,000 meters above the ground.

This seems to be the commercial district of the Moon Worship Tribe; it's quite bustling. You can see many beautifully dressed elves strolling together, laughing and playfully fighting. Some even start touching each other directly in the street, without any shyness. The other elves nearby seem unfazed; some offer blessings, and others even try to join in.

Valensa was stunned... Back in North Blade Bay on Sword Island, she had thought that the fallen elves were corrupted by evil gods, which was why they were so lustful.

But now it seems that even the uncorrupted elves are rather unrestrained.

"Ah, it's Sister Cecilia! Look next to her! It looks like a human? So cute!"

As Valencia curiously observed the elves, the elves noticed them and gathered around, chattering excitedly.

These elves were clearly quite young, lively, and curious. Many of them started touching and groping Valensa as they talked, and some even tried to lift her skirt.

"You all better stop now! You've completely disgraced the elves!"

Cecilia quickly rose up, coldly rebuking the elves and trying to drive them away from her.

But the elves weren't afraid at all. Some even laughed and touched Cecilia inappropriately, jokingly saying, "Sister Cecilia, you didn't treat me like this last night."

Cessie was extremely frustrated and finally had to invoke the title of Fairy Dragon Princess:

"That's enough! This is Lady Cinderella's friend!"

This time the effect was much better. Although the elves were still very curious, they didn't bother Valensa too much anymore, at most just watching from a distance and pointing at her.

"...Alas, we elves weren't like this before. It's all your fault, the Church of the Sun!"

As Cecilia finished speaking, she glared at Valencia with some resentment before continuing to lead Valencia toward the center of the business district, finally stopping in front of a building that looked like an administration building.

"Please wait here for a moment."

Cessie gestured for Valencia to stop at the building entrance, explaining as follows:

“There are two other Fairy Dragon ladies here. They are Cinderella’s most trusted subordinates… I need to report your matter to them first.”

Chapter 6 Fairy Dragon Twins

After leaving Valensa outside to wait, Cecilia turned and walked into the wooden building that appeared to be the administrative building of the Moon Worship Tribe.

As a Radiant-ranked magic archer, even if she only reached that rank through longevity, Cecily seems to hold a high position in the tribe, and most elves are somewhat afraid of her.

But as soon as Cecily left, many of the young elves who had been watching from afar surrounded Valensa again.

Knowing that Valencia was a guest of the Fairy Dragon, the elves didn't make any moves this time. However, they still asked a lot of random and curious questions, just like those beautiful female transfer students in Japanese anime who are surrounded by people right after class.

Valensa didn't seem to mind much; in fact, she was quite interested in talking to the elves, as there were some things she was curious about.

For example, Cecily just mentioned that the elves of the Moon Worship Tribe used to be very pure, and it was only because of the Sun Church that they became as bold as they are now, able to stick together and party anytime, anywhere.

It must be thanks to those predecessors who came to preach 400 years ago and almost triggered a full-scale war between the elves and the Church of the Sun, but what exactly did those predecessors do? It's a bit outrageous.

However, after talking with them, Valensa discovered that these young elves also did not know about what happened back then, because the oldest of these young elves was less than 100 years old and had not experienced it firsthand. Moreover, the truth of what happened back then had been set as taboo knowledge by the higher-ups of the Moon Worship Tribe.

Apart from elves like Cecilia who have a certain sense of responsibility, the vast majority of elves become more and more homebodies and Buddhists as they get older, preferring to spend their days leisurely in their own little courtyards. Currently, the elves who wander around the streets and are keen on socializing are mostly young elves.

About ten minutes later, Cecilia reappeared, followed by two pink-haired girls dressed somewhat like the Lake Nymphs from the Arthurian legends. They both had cute dragon horns on their heads and appeared to be twin sisters, who must be the fairy dragons Cecilia had mentioned.

Just like when the homeroom teacher appeared in the classroom with the school leaders during recess, the young elves who had been chattering incessantly around Valensa scattered in all directions.

Cecilia simply shook her head helplessly and didn't say much, directly introducing herself to Valensa and the two fairy dragons.

"This is Valensa, a friend who fought alongside Lady Cinderella. She has a longsword imbued with Lady Cinderella's power... I have examined that sword. Although it has lost its power, it does indeed retain Lady Cinderella's aura."

"These two are Lady Nana Dada and Lady Dada Nana. They are both fairy dragons who have been taking care of Lady Cinderella."

Valensa and the two fairy dragons also took the opportunity to exchange pleasantries.

After a brief greeting to establish acquaintance, the two sides quickly got down to business... Valensa asked to see Dreigan, while the two fairy dragons said they wanted to see Moonkiss first.

"Let them look..." Valensa took out Moon Kiss and handed it to the two fairy dragons.

It must be Nana Dada, the older of the twins, who took the Moon Kiss with one hand, and with the index and middle fingers of the other hand together, she gathered moonlight at the tips of her fingers, and then gently wiped the Moon Kiss blade.

Wow.

The Moon Kiss, which had become as dull as ordinary iron, lit up again, with moonlight flowing across its blade, as if it had regained its power.

"Yes, it really is her."

Nana Dada first nodded to her younger sister, then looked at Cecilia:

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us. You can go and do your own thing."

"understood."

Cecilia nodded obediently:

"If you two need anything, please feel free to call me at any time."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Nana Dada then looked at Valensa again and extended her hand to her:

"Come, we'll take you to see Her Highness the Princess."

Valensa did not refuse and took Nana Dada's hand.

Immediately, the two dragons and one person were bathed in moonlight, and in a flash of light, they disappeared from the spot.

This is also a teleportation spell, but it seems to be quite different from Tia's spatial link and Moonkiss's exquisite magic sword. It is more like an instantaneous light-speed movement that turns the body into moonlight.

If the movement route can be predicted in advance, this kind of teleportation can be interrupted... Valensa had this feeling in her heart, and at the same time she realized that the moon magic cultivation of these fairy dragon twins should be much worse than that of Dreigan, only at the Star level.

As the moonlight flashed and the two dragons and one human returned to human form, although they were still on the thick branches of the Moon Worship Tribe's Elf Mother Tree, the surroundings were noticeably colder, and some leaves were even covered in snow that hadn't melted... This must have been at least 4000 meters above the ground.

"follow me."

Nana Dada didn't explain much, only saying that she would lead the way, while her sister Dada Nana followed behind after Valensa caught up.

The two sisters, one in front and one behind Valensa, walked for several more minutes along the thick branches before finally reaching the place where the branches separated from the trunk.

From a distance, nothing seems out of the ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one can sense that a magical barrier conceals a very large tree hole.

Of course, this "very large" is relative to Valensa; relative to the enormous Elven Mother Tree, it's about the size of a mosquito bite on a person.

The floor, walls, and ceiling inside the tree hollow were covered with very soft animal hides, and there were also many chests and cabinets filled with jewels.

These jewels are not only sparkling and beautiful, but they also emit energy fluctuations. These energy fluctuations are gathered and isolated by the barrier outside the tree hole, making the magic inside the tree hole very concentrated.

Clearly, this place is similar to Cloud Hidden Ridge before the island of Ruler was abandoned; it is an artificially created secret realm with a high concentration of magic, where both cultivation and recuperation would be more efficient.

In the very center of the tree hollow is a large, oval-shaped, transparent egg about 5 meters tall. Inside, you can see a giant dragon with pink scales and butterfly wings curled up asleep. It is none other than Cinderella, the fairy dragon princess that Valensa has been longing for.

"Sister Dreigan?"

Valensa ran to the large egg in a few steps on the soft flesh. She wanted to touch the shell, but was afraid of causing any damage, so she could only stare worriedly into the egg while activating her senses to the maximum.

Fortunately, although the fairy dragon inside the eggshell was weak and in a deep sleep, its life force was still stable.

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the fairy dragon sisters, whose expressions were somewhat sorrowful:

"What exactly is going on?"

Nana and Dada exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The younger sister moved a chair out from the corner of the tree hollow and invited Valensa to sit down, while the older sister hesitated for a moment before speaking:

“I’ve heard Her Highness mention you before, Miss Valencia… The incident where you fought together against the Black Dragon Prince is the cause of the current situation.”

"So it really is related to that matter?"

Valensa immediately frowned:

"So it was that bastard Prince Farian, the Black Dragon Prince, who took revenge on Sister Dregran? He's the one who beat her up like this?"

"No... not."

Nana Dada immediately shook her head, her expression somewhat strange:

“That bastard Farian had his consciousness rewritten by the princess with ultimate moon magic, so he can no longer be our enemy… In fact, we ran into him twice after that incident, and each time he greeted us in a friendly manner… as if the princess were his good friend.”

"what?"

Valensa was also taken aback.

She couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Farian in the Misty Mountains. Back then, the Black Dragon Prince was arrogant, conceited, and wicked, his eyes filled with lust as he looked at any female creature, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the earth.

Would a guy like that greet a female of his own kind in a friendly way?

That's hard to imagine.

With a sigh in her heart, Valensa asked again:

"Then who exactly injured Sister Dregran?"

“It is Farian’s sister, the Black Dragon Princess Okoya… She challenged Her Highness to a sacred duel against our dragon race.”
