The story of the black silk female knight

“But the Holy Duel is a very important event for our dragon race. The conditions set by the victor before the match must not be violated by the loser… If my sister really wins the duel, Miss Dregran must enforce it, even if I object.”

"I will protect you!"

Upon seeing this, Da Niu quickly hugged Farian tightly, and a lot of steam suddenly blew out of his nostrils.

"Don't!"

Farian became even more panicked:

“Then you will become the common enemy of the entire dragon race... You will be completely crushed by the angry dragon breath and claws, and I still have to accept reality, nothing can be changed.”

"Then let's run away together, let's go today!"

Da Niu became even more agitated:

"We can hide, or go to other continents."

"But where can we hide?"

Farian gave a rather pessimistic, bitter smile:

"There's nowhere on the entire continent of Frenoia that our dragon race can't go. No matter where we hide, we'll be found sooner or later. As for going to other continents... that's not a solution either. We can't go to the Divine Favored Continent because we're not followers of the Sun Goddess, and the Eastern Continent is separated by the extremely dangerous Endless Sea. With our strength, we'd most likely die on the way."

"...Is there really nothing we can do?" Da Niu said helplessly.

“We really can’t do anything… The dragons are still very powerful, and they value holy duels very much. The winner’s demands will definitely be fulfilled.” Farian was quite desperate and seemed to have given up the struggle.

"Sigh." x2

A male black dragon and a male monster looked at each other and sighed, speechless and choked with emotion, much like the protagonists in a heart-wrenching romance drama in despair.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Valensa finally couldn't hold back any longer and abruptly interrupted the tragic scene:

"Aren't you all despairing a little too soon? Sister Dregran hasn't lost yet! As long as she wins the third duel, everything will be fine, right?"

"But...it's going to be hard for Miss Dregran to win, isn't it?"

Farian hesitated for a moment, but still stated his opinion directly:

"Although I didn't go to the Holy Duel of the Second Round, I did hear about it... Miss Dregran was seriously injured by my sister. It's good enough that she recovered before the start of the Third Round. How much fighting power can she maintain? Even when she was in good condition, she couldn't beat my sister and the Dragon Knight together, let alone in her newly recovered state?"

"What you said is all true, but..."

Valensa nodded first, then changed the subject, chuckling lightly:

"What do you think my real purpose in coming to see you today is? Is it that only your sister can have a dragon knight, but your older sister Dregran can't have one too?"

"Miss Dregran is also signing with Dragon Knights?"

Farian paused for a moment, then glanced at Valensa before realizing what was happening:

"Miss Paladin, you want to form a contract with Miss Dregran and fight side by side? That makes sense... That's how it was when you attacked me... Back then, you were clearly very weak, yet you showed no fear..."

After praising Valensa, Farian changed the subject:

"But if I may be frank... even though your strength is not what it used to be, Miss Paladin, you are still far behind my sister. More importantly... the moon magic practiced by the Fairy Dragon is very special. If Miss Dregran were to sign a dragon knight contract with you, her own strength would inevitably decrease, right? In that case, your chances of winning would still be very low..."

"If we start the third round now, we really don't have much of a chance of winning, but it will be a different story in two weeks."

Valensa, however, smiled with increasing confidence and pointed to her head:

"We humans have never had bodies as powerful as dragons and monsters, yet we have become the strongest race on the continent of Frenoia. What is the secret to that?"

In battle, while exceptional talent and sharp weapons are certainly important, what truly turns the tide and determines victory is often wisdom… especially wisdom gained with ample intelligence.

"Wisdom, indeed."

Farian seemed to recall something, and the expression in his eyes became quite complex for a moment:

"That's how it was in the war between our dragon race and you humans. At first, our dragon race had the upper hand because of our talents, until you humans invented various dragon-slaying tactics and mass-produced dragon-slaying weapons... All the dragon kings perished in that war, and we survivors had no choice but to make a friendly pact with humans and give up our position as the overlords of the continent."

"So I think we have a pretty good chance of winning... if Mr. Farian is willing to offer us some assistance."

Valensa smiled again and revealed the true purpose of her visit:

“Mr. Farian, you grew up with your sister since childhood and often fought with her after you grew up, so you should be very familiar with her fighting style... such as some of her common moves, right?”

"It's natural."

Farian nodded:

“Our mother, the Black Dragon King, perished in the war. At that time, Okoya was still young, and I basically raised her... I taught her almost all of her combat skills, and I know every move she likes to use.”

"That makes things much easier, doesn't it?"

Valensa snapped her fingers and laughed:

"In order to prevent the sincere love between the two gentlemen from being destroyed, and also for the sake of Sister Dreigan, I hope that Mr. Farian can give me some guidance on how to fight the black dragon during this period of time, and tell me as much information as possible about Okya."

"This……"

Farian did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

Only when Da Niu hugged him tightly did Farian finally make his decision, nodding earnestly to Valensa with a look of repentance in his eyes:

"it is good."

. . . . .

Eight days passed quickly.

For the past eight days, Valensa has remained in the bull's territory.

During the day, she receives special training from Prince Farian, the Black Dragon, gradually adapting to the fighting style of a Moon-class Black Dragon and studying counter-attack strategies.

At night, Valensa would wisely find a way to spend the night in the wild, leaving the room to Farian and Big Bull, the lovers.

Finally, at noon on the 8th day, Valensa received a magical communication from Nanada, the elder of the Fairy Dragon twins, saying that Dreigan had awakened and agreed to sign a Dragon Knight contract with Valensa, hoping that Valensa would return to the Moon Worship Tribe as soon as possible.

Valensa then bid farewell to Farian and the Great Bull, and headed to the Moon Worship Tribe to reunite with Dreigan.

Inside the dragon's nest near the top of the Moon Worship Tribe's Elf Mother Tree.

"Thank you so much for your help this time, Valensa."

Having awakened from the Moon Egg, Dregran appeared quite weak. She sat in a chair, holding a large cup of herbal water, and slowly sipped it.

"When I rewrote Farian's thoughts with ultimate moon magic, I thought I had fundamentally solved all the problems, but I didn't expect his sister to be a madwoman as well... Sigh."

“Farian is indeed quite a gentleman now.”

Valensa, sitting opposite Dregegland, smiled and continued the conversation:

"Actually, I've been with Farian for a while now. He himself was very unhappy with the holy duel his sister proposed, so he agreed to help me with special training... Well, I've gained a lot."

"……what?"

Dregran's mouth dropped open in shock, and she nearly dropped her water glass.

"You actually went to Farian for help? What made you think of that? I don't think I told you in detail about Farian's current situation, did I? How dare you go directly to him?"

"Of course I didn't go directly. I did some research before I went."

With a hint of smugness, Valensa briefly recounted how she had gathered information at the tavern.

Of course, Valensa couldn't talk about the test ride with the Frost Dragon Girl and the Red Dragon Queen that night; she only mentioned drinking with them.

"So that's how it is... Valensa, you are indeed very thoughtful. No wonder you can accomplish so much at such a young age. Even the Witch's Forest has started to spread your story lately."

Dregran breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously:

"How effective was the special training Farian gave you?"

Chapter 9 Dragon Knight Contract

"The results of the special training... well... how should I put it?"

Valensa's expression was complicated as she recalled the beatings she had suffered under the black dragon's claws and breath over the past few days:

"In terms of raw power, the Moon-level Black Dragon Royal Family is definitely stronger. If I face the Black Dragon Princess without adequate preparation, my chances of winning are very low."

"So, if you're well-prepared, you're very confident?"

Dregran, however, didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, she smiled and took a sip of the tea, which was filled with various nourishing medicinal herbs.

"In that case, I can rest assured... I'll leave the third duel to Valensa's arrangements, after all, you're my dragon knight."

"Hey?"

Valensa was slightly surprised:

"Sister Long, you trust me that much? The outcome of this duel is very important to you, isn't it? What if I misjudge or my plan goes wrong?"

"Then I guess I'll just have to accept my fate... At worst, I'll just die."

Dreigan shrugged, and though the words were clearly tragic, she spoke with a light tone:

"The duel is only a few days away, and given my current physical condition, I have almost no hope of winning if I go on my own... The only way is to sign a dragon knight like Okoya did, but in all these hundreds of years, the only human I can trust is you, Valensa."

If you, Valensa, were still the brave but weak little knight you were three years ago, I would never agree to sign a contract with you, because that would be dragging you down.

But you are already the renowned Sunflower Duchess, and the legends you've created are sung by bards from the French coast to the eastern foothills of the Witch's Forest. So, sister, it's alright if I rely on you a little now, isn't it?"

"Of course it doesn't matter."

Valensa looked at Dreigan very seriously and said:

"I have indeed made some achievements that are constantly praised and sung about, but these achievements are actually all thanks to Sister Long... Every time I encounter a strong enemy, Moon Kiss has given me a lot of help. Sister Long's power has always been fighting alongside me."

Now that you're in trouble, Sister Dragon, how can I stand idly by? Let alone just a duel with the Black Dragon Princess, I'm not afraid of a war against the entire Black Dragon Clan!

"Yes, yes, yes... I know you're really amazing, Valencia!"

Dregran nodded with a doting smile, then asked:

"So? How exactly should I fight my third Holy Duel? Do you have a plan? I can completely cooperate with you, sister... You tell me what to do and I'll do it, even if it's something outrageous, sister will do it, because sister believes that sister Valensa would never harm sister."

"Well... well, the plan hasn't been finalized yet."

Valensa hesitated for a moment, rubbing her chin with her hand, then ran her fingers through her hair before saying:

"Because a friend's donation hasn't arrived yet, but it'll be soon... Judging by the time, there should be a result by tomorrow night at the latest."

She will bring me two key items for victory, so I must personally test these items before deciding on a specific battle plan.

"I see... That's fine then. Valensa, you can tell me the specific battle plan when we have the signing ceremony tomorrow night."

Dreigan nodded, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the tonic tea.

"Actually, Nana and Dada have already prepared all the necessary preparations for the contract ceremony, but I need another day to adjust my mindset and state of mind... otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to retain half of my strength after signing the contract."

“Okay…it’s settled then. I’ll contact that friend again and see how her preparations are going.” Valensa nodded in agreement.

. . . . .

The friend Valensa was referring to was, of course, Vivi.

After obtaining some valuable information from the Frost Dragon Girl and the Red Dragon Queen, Valensa contacted Vie and asked her to help her make some preparations.

On the morning of the second day after Valensa returned to the Moon Worship Tribe, Vie was finally ready and was pulled from the cyberpunk world by Valensa using a friend summoning.

"How's it going? Did you bring everything?"

On a rather secluded, enormous branch of the Moon Worship Tribe's Elf Mother Tree, Valensa called Vi over and eagerly grabbed her hand, asking questions.

"Don't you know how I handle things, sis? Don't worry, everything's taken care of."

Vivi immediately handed a metal safe she was carrying to Valensa, then took a large box from her storage pouch and placed it on the ground, gesturing with her lips:

"Here...it's all here, sis, can you check it out?"

"Don't worry about it... It's just that what you brought this time is too important. It concerns the reputation and life and death of a good friend of mine, and I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong."

Valensa first entered the password on the metal safe, opened the lid, took out a strange-looking red offering, smelled it, and then licked it with her tongue:

"Hmm... Such pure faith power... It feels like it should work."

Valensa then quickly and carefully placed the offerings in the closest place to her body and opened the large box on the ground.

A whole box of hand grenades, but it looked clearly different from half a box of hand grenades.

"Is this the one you told me about in the community updates?"

Valensa curiously took out a hand grenade and examined it closely, turning it over and over in front of her.

"Um……"
