The story of the black silk female knight

"Ok."

The bartender was clearly a dragon, with a head of golden hair and beard like a lion king, and a thick dragon horn in the middle of his forehead that curved upwards like an ivory tusk.

This is why Valensa believes he is the tavern owner—Alan Fair had previously mentioned that the tavern owner was a golden dragon.

Mix three different bottles of wine in a large glass according to the proportions, then add a few bright red leaves that look very spicy and some seasonings that look like black pepper powder. Finally, gather fire magic in your palm to heat the glass until the liquid inside boils.

"Here, have a taste, miss."

The tavern owner placed the still-boiling glass in front of Valensa:

"This drink is called Hot Beauty. I don't need to explain the hot and spicy parts. As for why it's called 'Miss Beauty,' you'll know once you drink it."

"I know that without even drinking it."

Valensa accepted the drink with an air of nonchalance, her tone quite arrogant:

"Because such wonderful wine can only be enjoyed by a beauty as wonderful as me."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The tavern owner was clearly amused by Valensa, and chuckled a few times before saying:

"You're quite an interesting lady. I don't think I've seen you before?"

"Whoosh... Hiss... Good wine!"

Snapped.

Valensa didn't rush to answer. Instead, she slammed her glass on the bar, her deep blue eyes suddenly becoming watery. She stretched, revealing her stunning figure and attracting many admiring glances.

"Uh...clunk~~"

Then, as if she were already slightly drunk, she let out a burp reeking of alcohol, before deliberately speaking in a tone that suggested her tongue was already a little stiff:

"I... this is indeed my first time here. I've heard there are quite a few dragons here, and they're willing to get close to humans and make friends... so I wanted to come and see for myself... who knows, maybe one of the dragons will take a liking to me and make me a dragon knight? Dragon knights are so prestigious, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The tavern owner burst into laughter again, and several people who had been secretly watching the scene also wore mocking and sarcastic expressions.

“I can’t say whether you can be a dragon knight, but if you just want to ride a dragon, it’s very easy… As you said before, you are a wonderful beauty.”

The tavern owner complimented Valensa while expertly making her another drink.

Valensa downed her drink in one gulp without hesitation, her watery eyes growing even more unfocused, and she even seemed to have trouble retracting her tongue when she spoke:

"Uncle, do you have any cute dragons you could introduce?"

"Of course it's no problem."

The tavern owner snapped his fingers:

"I wonder what kind of dragon you like, Miss? A strong one? A handsome one? Or one that looks like a little child who would bury itself in your arms and call you 'Mommy'?"

“Strong? Handsome? No, no, no, no…”

Valensa said "no" several times in a row, while waving her hands together in a very exaggerated manner:

"I don't want to drink with those rude male dragons... Are there any cute dragon girls or cool dragon older sisters?"

"Oh? So you're from that side, Miss?"

The tavern owner was clearly surprised, and seemed somewhat disappointed.

But he didn't think much of it and immediately smiled and nodded:

"Of course there are."

After saying that, he served Valencia a large glass of wine for the third time:

"Please wait a moment, I'll call them over right away."

Soon, amidst the pitying glances of many regulars in the tavern, two figures, exuding fragrance, sat down next to Valensa.

On the left is a petite blue-haired girl wearing a black Lolita dress and two adorable ice crystal dragon horns on her head; she should be a frost dragon.

She was very good at playing the younger sister; from the moment she arrived, she kept hugging Valensa's arm and calling her "older sister" in a sweet and melodious voice that was captivating.

On the right is a hot red-haired woman wearing a strapless leather tank top with a front clasp and super short hot pants, with most of her skin exposed, making her dazzlingly alluring.

This was clearly a red dragon. Unlike the frost dragon on the left, she wasn't pretending to be a younger sister but was calling her "younger sister" affectionately and even hugged Valensa's neck in a very familiar way.

It seemed that happiness had come too quickly; Valensa looked a little dazed, completely charmed by the sweet words of the two dragon beauties, drinking one glass of wine after another.

But the other people in the tavern were not envious of this good fortune at all; on the contrary, many of them wore expressions that said, "This good cabbage is about to be eaten by a pig."

Because both the red dragon queen and the frost dragon girl are notorious scumbags in the tavern. Too many human beauties have been played with by them, their bodies and feelings, and some have even lost both their money and their love.

In many people's eyes, Valensa is already the new victim... Once she gets completely drunk at the bar and is carried back to her room by two scumbag dragons, she will become a toy.

However, after a while, the people in the tavern were surprised to find that Valensa, who should have been drunk long ago, was not completely drunk at all.

Not only that, although she didn't mind the somewhat intimate actions of the red dragon queen and the frost dragon girl, since they were both beauties and no one was at a disadvantage, she was surprisingly principled... She politely declined the two scumbag dragons' repeated attempts to take her to a hotel room.

Just like mentioned at the beginning, she seemed to really want to be a dragon knight, constantly asking the two scumbag dragon girls all sorts of questions about dragon knights while drinking, and at the same time, she also made the two dragons drink a lot of alcohol.

Valensa's meaning seemed quite clear—you can get close to me, but you must first sign a Dragon Knight contract.

The two scumbag dragons were naturally unwilling to accept this... For dragons, a dragon knight contract is even more sacred than marriage. Why get married when you haven't had enough fun? Just wanting to ride a dragon is fine, but a dragon knight contract is not an option.

Both sides are adamant, and continuing like this will most likely end in a bitter falling out.

But neither of the two scumbag dragons wanted to give up easily... They had finally encountered some very interesting prey, so they had to make the most of it!

So the scheming women changed their tactics and decided to use deception... to get them hooked first.

The frost dragon girl once again clung to Valensa's arm, shaking it and acting coquettishly:

"Sister~ Sister~ There are many things to consider when making a dragon knight contract. Just like you humans can't get married right after you meet, right? You have to date first, right?"

"That's true... uh~"

Valensa nodded, blowing her breath reeking of alcohol onto the frost dragon girl's face, and said with a smile:

"so what?"

"So, if you want to be a dragon knight, why don't you try riding a dragon first?"

The frost dragon girl seemed quite shy, clamping her legs together and twisting her body slightly.

"If the test ride goes well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to officially sign a contract with you, sister, right?"

"...We still need to test ride it."

Valensa, however, gave a somewhat annoyed look:

"Is signing a dragon knight contract really that complicated? I recently heard that someone became a dragon knight very easily, and she even signed a contract with a dragon princess... Are you princesses too? Or are you of higher status than princesses, so you can't just sign contracts with anyone?"

scare!

The frost dragon girl and the red dragon lady immediately reacted like cats with their fur standing on end, flames and ice spikes appearing on their skin like bristling hairs, as if they were both angry.

Valensa, however, didn't care at all. She wasn't afraid of the cold or the heat, and with both arms wrapped around the two scumbag dragons, she gave them a double embrace:

"What? Did I say something wrong? This is absolutely true!"

"……I know."

Unlike the frost dragon girl who was still pouting and sulking, the red dragon queen had already softened in Valensa's arms, inhaling Valensa's scent:

"You mean that crazy woman, Oakia? Humph, how dare you compare the two of us to her? She's the most savage and uncouth black dragon! Being her dragon knight is a real hassle; in fact, she only chose to be a dragon knight this time out of necessity~~"

"Oh? You had no choice? Why do you say that?"

Valensa, feigning ignorance, asked curiously:

"Could it be that she was defeated and captured alive, then forced to wear the dragon knight's armor and sign the dragon knight contract?"

"How could that be? Who would forcibly capture a black dragon and sign a contract with it!"

The frost dragon girl scoffed.

"Those in the know understand that black dragons are the least suitable for forming contracts among the dragon race. They all have terrible tempers, are rude and disrespectful, and are always fighting and causing trouble... Being a dragon knight of a black dragon would probably mean cleaning up their messes every day!"

"I see... So, what kind of dragon would an expert choose to catch?"

Valensa asked again in a joking tone, while simultaneously grabbing each of the frost dragon girl and the red dragon lady with her hands:

"Does it mean they're after frost dragons and red dragons like you?"

"Hmph~~ We're not that easy to catch!"

The red dragon queen shook off Valensa's hand, then retaliated with a jerk before saying:

"The best contracted dragons in your human ideals are probably silver dragons and white dragons... especially the blue-eyed white dragon, which seems to be the best wife in the eyes of many human men. So many white dragons and silver dragons are very wary of you humans, and are afraid of being deceived by you scumbag men and women."

"The beauties of the Silver Dragon and White Dragon? Hmm... they do sound amazing. I'd like to see them sometime and see if I can win them over as wives."

Valensa feigned longing, then, noticing the two beauties beside her looking somewhat unhappy, quickly smiled and asked:

"What about you frost dragons and red dragons? I think you're cute too. Doesn't anyone want to capture you as wives?"

"No, because we don't even need to catch them~~"

The frost dragon girl smiled and winked, hinting once again, almost explicitly:

"We frost dragons and red dragons are the dragons who love close contact with humans the most... If you want to sign a contract with us, all you need to do is test ride us and you're satisfied. There's no need to force us. So, sister, aren't you really planning to test ride us now?"

"Well... not impossible."

Sensing the frost dragon girl's eagerness, Valensa didn't refuse directly this time. She worried that if she refused, the frost dragon girl and the red dragon lady would give up, depriving her of the opportunity to gather information.

However, if I were to actually go to a hotel with those two scumbag dragon girls, I probably wouldn't have time to gather intelligence, so it's not an option right now.

So Valencia tapped the bar counter again with her hand:

"The drinks here are really good... How about you have a few more with me? We have plenty of time tonight anyway~~"

Become!

The frost dragon girl and the red dragon girl exchanged a glance, feeling both delighted and slightly annoyed.

This stupid woman who's obsessed with becoming a dragon knight is actually quite hard to handle. I'll definitely make her experience the power of the dragon race's ice and fire!

As for having a few more drinks with them... that's hilarious! What kind of physique do we dragons have? Do you think our alcohol tolerance is worse than a human's? Let's drink!

So, amidst the tavern owner's beaming smile, many more glasses were brought to the bar. Valensa and the two scumbag dragonesses continued to drink and chat, and the topic naturally returned to the Black Dragon Princess.

"So... since the black dragon princess wasn't captured, why did she sign a dragon knight contract with a human?" Valensa asked again, holding her wine glass.

"Let's fight for a sacred duel."

Seemingly because Valensa had already agreed to the test ride, the Frost Dragon Maiden was in a good mood and answered questions without hesitation:

"Our dragon race's sacred duel to resolve conflicts is a best-of-three format. That crazy woman, Oaka, was utterly defeated in the first round and had to find a dragon knight during the month-long interval between the two rounds to win the second round."

"Oh, I see."

Valensa feigned surprise, then asked a question she already knew the answer to:

"Then why did she participate in the Holy Duel? And who was she dueling with?"

"It's about the Fairy Dragon Princess... Speaking of which, that princess was really unlucky, as she was entangled by two madmen from the Black Dragon Clan one after the other."

The Red Dragon Queen continued:

"It is said that the fairy dragon princess was attacked by the black dragon prince first, but she successfully fought back and killed him, making the black dragon prince even more monstrous. After that, the black dragon princess launched a holy duel against him."

"But that crazy woman, Okoya, is also a fool. Before the duel, she didn't even consider the difference in strength between herself and the Fairy Dragon Princess. She got beaten up badly in the first round. I even went to see it in person."

The frost dragon girl began to gloat:

"In order to avoid getting beaten up in the second round, Okoa had no choice but to find a dragon knight to help him temporarily... but it's not that easy."

Normally, dragons sign dragon knight contracts with humans of similar strength. Someone like Okia, a Moon-level dragon, should also have signed a contract with a Moon-level human.

Unfortunately, she's a black dragon, not a silver or white dragon. Those Moon-level humans look down on her and are even suspicious of her door-to-door delivery service, thinking she has a conspiracy... Pfft, that's hilarious.

Star-level humans wouldn't mind signing a dragon knight contract with Okia, but that fairy dragon princess is very powerful. Even if ordinary Star-level humans team up with Okia, they might not be able to defeat her.

So after a difficult and bitter decision, Okoya chose the current Dragon Knight, a human female mage skilled in support magic.

The female mage had been an adventurer in the Witch Forest for decades, but she had never found a stable team.

Because she is only good at support magic and her ability to fight head-on is very weak, she is almost impossible to win in a one-on-one fight against someone of the same level... And most people are selfish. Under normal circumstances, everyone can prioritize protecting support teammates, but once they encounter real danger, support teammates with little independent combat ability are most likely to be abandoned by the team. That female mage has encountered this many times, and she has been heartbroken by human adventurers.
