"it is good."
Valensa followed the same instructions again and quickly arrived at the designated location:
"what's next?"
“Next, I will use your body to draw the positioning runes. You must not resist my control or interfere. At the same time, you must copy my movements and use your Noble Phantasm to draw the same runes at the original site… Can you do that?” Tia asked.
"Hmm... it should be fine, let's give it a try first."
This time, Valensa didn't make any overly confident statements. After all, she really had no talent for magic; she would get dizzy just looking at those magical runes, let alone drawing them.
However, after trying it herself, it went more smoothly than she had imagined, because Valensa found the most suitable method for drawing runes for her.
Since seeing runes makes me dizzy, I'll just close my eyes and not look at them. I'll simply record Tia's movements as she draws the runes and then have Nana do it in sync.
Soon, the positioning runes on both sides were completed simultaneously, and after Tia and the witches checked them, there were no problems.
The plan went well.
Tia breathed a sigh of relief and, with renewed vigor, worked with Valensa to precisely locate all the houses in the entire town.
After spending most of the day locating the location, Tia instructed her temporary teammates to split up and go to various parts of the town to appease the townspeople and maintain order, making sure there were no mistakes during the teleportation process.
After everything was ready, Tia took Valensa to the center of the town, where the core control array that she had drawn up long ago was located.
Tia quickly sat down in the magic circle, and then had Valensa straddle her face to face, becoming a human blue bottle so that she could replenish her magic power at any time.
Wide-range teleportation spell activated.
Tia's magic mainly served to pinpoint the location; the real responsibility for bringing the town and its thousands of residents back was the combined spellcasting of the witches.
As the magical light of the miracle continued to flash, the vanished town reappeared, and the people who had been trapped in the gap between worlds for many days finally returned home. Many people were moved to tears, cheering, hugging and kissing each other to celebrate.
On this side of the world gap, after learning that the entire town had been successfully restored, Tia finally felt relieved. Her tense body went limp instantly, and Valensa pushed her down onto the desolate and lonely ground.
"No...no, no!"
Sensing Valensa's intentions and the heat in her breath, Tia immediately struggled to resist:
“We can’t do this… at least not now. There are still many towns and many people waiting for us to send them home!”
"But Tia, you must be very tired. It wouldn't hurt to rest for a bit~"
Valensa, however, refused to give up and instead intensified her offensive:
"Even if you're not tired, the witch sisters still need to rest and prepare... uh."
Valensa suddenly froze.
Because the witches in the main world told Nana that they didn't need to rest... or rather, they couldn't rest.
The grand magic, personally presided over by the Unifying Witch, cannot be interrupted once activated. It requires a constant consumption of a large amount of magic power to maintain and must complete all the work in one go.
Valensa's plan to have a battle with Tia in the desolate wilderness was thwarted, and she could only pull Tia up with a look of dissatisfaction and continue working.
As for the inner fire accumulated when Tia used it as a blue potion, it could only be forcibly suppressed and then violently erupted after everything was over... Hopefully, Tia could withstand it then.
After 19 days.
With the city of Suri, with its hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, returning in the magical glow of a miracle, the rescue operation finally came to an end.
During this period, detailed statistics on the affected towns were also being compiled.
Ironically, not a single person died directly at the hands of the evil god during the entire disaster; all the victims were killed by humans themselves.
They are either ordinary people who unfortunately encounter ruthless opportunists, or villains who are decisively killed by those who maintain order.
Many of these villains had never committed any evil deeds in normal times, but in times of crisis, the dark side of human nature was exposed, causing even greater harm.
Fortunately, there were more kind and brave people, and the overall performance of people in the disaster was still brilliant, with the vast majority of people successfully surviving the disaster.
After that, Valensa was no longer involved... Tia wanted to follow up a bit more, but Valensa forcibly carried her away.
During the 19 days of rescue work, Valensa had been acting as Tia's mana potion, enduring the feeling of Tia absorbing magic. Her inner fire was already like a live volcano, ready to erupt violently.
Valensa carried Tia directly to their house in Giran, closed the door, and began to do what lovers do, temporarily cutting off contact with the outside world.
Fortunately, the others knew that Valensa and Tia had worked very hard this time, so they didn't disturb their 'vacation'. Anyway, all the post-disaster work was almost finished, and it was time for the heroes to get a good rest.
Valensa's pent-up anger was indeed too much for Tia to bear alone. In fact, Tia couldn't take it anymore the next day and had to surrender.
Valensa, of course, wouldn't ignore Tia's feelings, so she didn't force herself on her. Instead, she held Tia and chatted gently, enjoying a real vacation in the luxurious mansion in the border town.
But the fire in one's heart still needs to be released. After all, Valensa's stance on this has always been that it's better to guide than to suppress. If you force yourself to hold it in for too long, something bad will happen sooner or later. If you completely fall into depravity one day, then you're finished.
Previously, when faced with this kind of situation, Valensa could only slip away after putting Tia to sleep, but now she can use a new approach.
She was multitasking. Her main body stayed in the mansion to focus on accompanying Tia to enjoy the holiday, while Nana disguised herself as an ordinary rich woman and went on a crazy trip to various cities to visit brothels and drink with prostitutes. In each place, she would order five or six girls to accompany her for drinks and the night, having a great time.
Tia probably knew about this... because she often made sarcastic remarks about Valensa's true form when Nana was drinking and carousing, but she didn't stop her, adhering to the principle of "out of sight, out of mind".
The pleasant holiday lasted for five days. On the morning of the sixth day, Valensa received a message from the faith circuit—the people of Frenoia in the Sanctuary had been successfully repatriated, and all the follow-up work on the evil god's disaster had come to an end.
All the saintesses were exhausted, and Zero bluntly declared that she needed to indulge herself for two days to rest. She even invited Valensa to play cards and take a bath, and invited Tia to join them.
Tia missed the opportunity to broaden her horizons on the Divine Continent because she was in seclusion to advance her cultivation, so she naturally wouldn't miss it again this time.
Like Valencia, Tia was extremely amazed when she first saw the various aspects of the God-Blessed Continent. It was an ideal society that was hard to believe in its existence without seeing it with her own eyes.
Upon arriving at the Sanctuary, Tia naturally moved into the ancestral home of the Baldr family, shared a room with Valensa, and even more naturally cleared out all of Valensa's Thousand Leaf Grass clothes and socks and threw them back into the guest room.
While Tia was doing these things, Thousand Leaf Grass watched from the side, but didn't dare to say a word. She just stuck out her tongue at Valensa and made a face at Tia's back.
The previous five days were a vacation for the young couple, but now everyone is officially celebrating their successful survival of the evil god's calamity.
Zero once again delegated all the work to his subordinates, and took on the role of tour guide for Valensa and the others, leading them to have a blast in the Sanctuary every day—playing cards, watching sports, taking baths, and having so much fun they didn't want to leave.
Fortunately, Nana's presence reminds Valensa of Elena at all times, and also of the important message that Elena had gone to great lengths to convey.
We can't let this continue. It's time to pull ourselves together and get back to work, to investigate why Eve Star is being closely watched by the Abyss Spirit Overlord.
According to Elena, if they don't find a way to find and eliminate this cause, Eve Star will eventually suffer the calamity of the evil god and be eaten by the Spirit Princesses.
This must be absolutely avoided.
The saints took this matter very seriously and formed a special task force, with Zero personally serving as the task force leader, Valencia as the deputy task force leader, and other church members also required to cooperate.
There are currently no leads, so Valensa can only follow Elena's plan and start investigating from the very beginning of the Abyss's followers.
The Church of the Sun has detailed records on this matter, which are easy to find.
That happened more than 470 years ago. A holy knight in a cathedral in a city in America suddenly received a tip from a devout believer that there were suspected cult activities in a hotel in a small town outside the city.
Based on the clues, the paladins acted decisively and successfully located the cultists at the target location, engaging them in a fierce battle.
The cultists involved in that battle were purified on the spot, but the evil magic they used was different from any known evil magic at the time, which piqued the paladins' interest, prompting them to continue their investigation.
Following this lead, the Sun Church eradicated several similar cult strongholds before officially confirming the existence of this new cult calling itself the Abyss Spirit Society... This is the earliest record of the Abyss Spirit Society cult appearing in the world.
However, Valensa does not believe that the Abyss Spirit Society started to exist from that time... because at that time, the Abyss Spirit Society already had more than one powerful Radiant Rank cultist, which is something that a newly emerging small cult could not have done. The Abyss Spirit Society must have been secretly developing for quite some time at that time.
In other words, the Abyss Spirit Ruler first noticed Eve Star around 500 years ago.
What happened 500 years ago?
Valensa began to peruse the history records of the Church of the Sun, trying to find out what was different that had happened at that time.
However, after searching for a long time, Valensa still found nothing... Many things did happen on the continent of Frenoia 500 years ago, but they were mostly internal matters of human society. These things had happened many times before and were not special enough to attract the attention of the Abyss Spirit Overlord, and they had little to do with food.
...Is this direction of investigation really not feasible?
Just as Valencia was secretly troubled, someone came to her door again.
The one who found her was Yi Qiuya, a doll girl from the Eastern Continent and an orphan of the Star Altar.
"Hey, you shameless lewd knight!"
Having spent time together, Yi Qiuya and Valensa had become quite familiar with each other. Yi Qiuya saw through Valensa's noble and aloof exterior and gave her a very fitting nickname. At this moment, she jumped onto Valensa's shoulder and kicked her angrily.
"Have you forgotten everything I said? Or have you lost your mind? Still leisurely reading a book here... Your Western Continent's summit starts in half a month! The Central Continent Empire's vanguard fleet will launch a surprise attack! You should get to work!"
(End of this volume)
Author's message
PS: The original plan was to write 8 volumes, but after careful consideration, I found that volumes 7 and 8 can be put together, so the next volume will be the last one, which will be about twice the length of this volume (around 60 words).
The Legend of the Black-Stockinged Female Knight Continues in Volume 7
Chapter 1 The Repaired Jade Island
"Is it already this late?"
Valensa certainly hadn't forgotten about the Western Continent Summit, but it had been two months since the last time they talked about it. She hadn't expected that Elena's sudden arrival would cause such a commotion, and a month and a half had passed in the blink of an eye.
There are priorities. The watchful eyes of the Abyss Spirit Ruler are very important, but the threats from the Dragon Emperor and the Central Continent Empire cannot be taken lightly.
The smooth running of the Western Continent Summit must be ensured.
"I understand."
Valensa nodded, grabbed the doll girl who was perched on her shoulder and kicking her face, and used her other hand to pinch the doll's little feet, playing with it as skillfully as if it were a figurine.
"After I talk to Sister Zero, I'll return to the Frenoia Continent in the next couple of days and go to the Four Islands Alliance to have a proper talk with His Majesty Himiko about this matter."
As you said, the Central Continent Empire's vanguard fleet's attack on the summit was successful entirely due to its element of surprise. If we prepare in advance, we should be fine.”
"Let go of my foot! You shameless, lewd knight!"
Yi Qiuyue kept kicking her little feet, trying to escape Valensa's grasp, but the difference in skill was too great and she could never succeed. In the end, she simply lay flat on Valensa's hands, glaring at her angrily.
"Don't be too careless! The Central Continent Empire's army was able to sweep across the entire Eastern Continent and destroy 14 countries in just a few decades, not only because of its strong combat power, but also because they are very good at using strategies!"
And those generals of the Central Continent Empire who fought alongside the Dragon Emperor back then were almost all powerful cultivators at the Celestial Realm, and they're mostly still alive... The vanguard fleet commander you're about to face is very likely one of them... If you're careless, you might become spoils of war."
"Well, I see."
Valensa nodded seriously, then her brow furrowed slightly:
"By the way... last time we talked about this, you were only halfway through when you were interrupted by the Calamity of the Evil God. You seemed to be saying that the Central Continent Vanguard Fleet's actions weren't just about attacking and disrupting the summit on Jade Island, but that they also split into two groups and went to another location?"
"Well, rather than saying the attack that disrupted the summit was actually a decoy, another target of the Central Continent Empire's vanguard fleet was... well!"
Yi Qiuya tried very hard to speak, but failed several times... It's only because she's a puppet now; if she were a human, she would probably have blushed from holding it in long ago.
"...No, I can't say. It must be a restriction left by Father."
After several failed attempts, Yi Qiuyue decisively gave up, sighing and shaking her head.
"When Father sealed my soul into this puppet's body, he placed a restriction on me. I can't say anything that might lead to the destruction of the future... It must be that the time is not right yet. I can't tell you about the other side of the Central Continent Empire's vanguard fleet's operations until you successfully stop the summit's attack."
"why?"
Valensa frowned, somewhat puzzled:
"Isn't it easier to solve these kinds of problems if you prepare early?"
"That only makes the current situation easier to resolve; it may actually have a negative effect on the overall trend."
Yi Qiuya was quite knowledgeable about these things, after all, she was the daughter of the leader of the Star Altar, and her own cultivation in astrology, divination, and predicting the future was definitely not low:
"For example, I'll tell you about another aspect of the Central Continent Empire's vanguard fleet's actions right now. You made preparations in advance and easily thwarted them... In the short term, this is certainly good, but in the long term, it is very likely that the Central Continent Empire will pay more attention to you and even study tactics and strategies to deal with you. When you finally face the Dragon Emperor, you may fail because of these tactics and strategies."
"Hmm... I understand."
Valensa thought for a moment and then nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Then let's not delay. I'll go and say hello to Sister Zero now. You go home and tell Cao Cao and the others to prepare to return to the Frenoia Continent."
. . . . .
Zero didn't try to persuade Valensa to leave. He simply took her to play a few more hands of cards, watch a game, and take a bath before arranging for her to leave.
Using the same intercontinental divine magic array they had used on their way there, the group returned to the capital of Fran.
Compared to when they first went to the Divine Continent, this time the team has three more members: Tia, the phantom thief senior sister Hong, and the doll girl Yi Qiuya.
The Great Witch Friggia, who has been slacking off for almost two months, is going back to the underground ruins of the Wasteland to continue her research. Velenkasa will still be watching over her, and will also help Valensa guard the underground ruins to deter the top beast warriors, and exchange the Fairy Dragon Dreigan for her.
After all, Dregran is the princess of the Fairy Dragon and also has to manage the elves of the Moon Worship Tribe. Even if she is Valensa's contracted dragon, it is impossible for her to work for Valensa for a long time.
It's best if the Great Witch manages her own territory... Many of the devices in the ruins are from previous civilizations and others wouldn't be used to them.
Tia will remain in the capital for the time being. She will accompany the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Fran to Jade Island for the meeting before the summit officially begins, representing the Britannia family.
