The story of the black silk female knight

This is also the most troublesome yet unavoidable problem for all commanders in this world... those top-tier powerhouses who can single-handedly turn the tide of battle and even rewrite the outcome of war.

This time, the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts can be eliminated with the help of the Church of the Sun, because the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts is not human, the existence of the Wild Beast race is a mistake in itself, and the blood-red giant that the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts eventually transformed into was a creature of evil magic, which barely meets the requirements of the Church of the Sun to use a superior artifact.

What about next time? For example, what should we do when facing Xiao Yu from the Central Continent Empire?

Although Xiao Yu looks strange, her primary racial attribute is "human." The invasion of Frenoia by the Central Continent Empire is a civil war among humans, and the Church of the Sun cannot interfere.

At that point, Valensa will need a good excuse just to get herself involved in the war, let alone use a high-ranking artifact from the Church. The continent of Frenoia will have to find a solution on its own.

This strengthened Tia's resolve... She was determined to complete the development of the Time Labyrinth Requiem within three years and optimize it to be as perfect as possible.

She would no longer allow her meticulously planned strategies and tactics to be overturned by the opponent's overwhelming individual combat power after the operation was completed.

In addition, since using the dispel magic would cause her to be irritable for at least half a month, Tia simply chose to stay home and meditate, leaving the students some homework before sending them back to the Allied Forces base.

Meanwhile, Valencia was also extremely busy.

The first person to approach her after the war ended was Yashiro, the young lady of the Nora Trading Company.

The reason why the new trade route was able to make a fortune was entirely due to its uniqueness... No one except the expeditionary force could build a safe passage in the barren land.

Now that the wild beasts have been wiped out, this unique advantage will also disappear, and others can also open up new trade routes, or even simply take small paths and hike across the desolate land.

In most people's minds, the most dangerous thing about the Wasteland is the wild beasts, monsters, and harsh natural environment. They can be dealt with by hiring adventurers and guides. There is no need to take the expeditionary force's trade route and pay them tolls.

Yashilo even harbored a lot of resentment towards this... When she came to see Valensa, she made many sarcastic remarks, saying that Valensa was stupid and that even if they wanted to exterminate the wild beasts, there was no need to rush. They could have waited for the new trade route to make a fortune for several decades before doing so.

Valencia understood this principle, of course... However, what she hated most in her past life were those unscrupulous merchants who allowed disasters to occur for commercial gain. For example, some pharmaceutical companies deliberately allowed diseases to rage in order to increase sales and profits, or some chronic diseases could be cured by technology, but the beneficiaries deliberately suppressed radical treatments for long-term profit, forcing patients to pay for treatment in the long term.

Dragon slayers don't necessarily have to become dragons themselves. Valensa chose to stay true to herself... Even if eliminating the beasts would harm her own interests, she would never hesitate.

Valensa actually felt a bit contempt for Yashiro's idea of ​​keeping the wild beasts in order to make more money.

However, we've been friends for several years and have always worked together happily, so there's no need to let a few differences in our ideas cause a rift.

It's certain that the new business route will suffer losses, so Valensa can only try to appease her partners and compensate them in other ways.

First, Valensa revealed some information to Yashilo that others did not yet know, making Yashilo understand that there would be losses in the new trade route, but definitely not as great as Yashilo had expected.

With the absence of wild beasts in the Desolate Ridges, caravans, under the protection of adventurers and guides, could indeed traverse the area without taking new trade routes. However, hiring adventurers and guides still required money... The price of hiring excellent adventurers and guides would only be higher than the toll fees for new trade routes.

Secondly, crossing the Wasteland is not as easy as others imagine, because in addition to the extremely harsh natural environment and various monsters that have never been seen in the territory of Fran, there are also many traces left by the expeditionary force and wild beasts.

What are the main combat forces of the expeditionary force? They are the undead legion and nuclear bombs. Wherever they go, they leave behind deadly black magic curses, and the battlefields where fierce battles are fought still have nuclear radiation residue.

Those places are far more dangerous than monsters. Without professional guidance and protection, ordinary merchants would be courting death if they tried to cross them.

The new trade route, which has been operating stably for over a year, is undoubtedly very safe... Now that the threat of wild beasts is gone, caravans don't even need to hire basic guards.

The toll is indeed not low, but it is still cheaper than the cost of hiring excellent guards and guides, and the risk of being stranded in the Barrens forever.

A mature and rational businessman should know which one to choose.

Of course, the principle that fortune favors the bold applies everywhere. There are certainly caravans that believe they are capable enough to traverse the desolate lands without paying tolls or hiring guards and guides.

Valensa had no good way to deal with these people who were willing to risk their lives for money, so she could only let them be.

In short, according to Valensa's prediction, the expeditionary force's new trade routes would generate less revenue than before for at least the next 20 years, but not by much.

Just like in her past life, many drivers, knowing that highways are toll roads, still choose to drive on highways instead of taking village roads, mountain roads, or even off-roading. Why? Because highways are safer and more worry-free; it's like paying for a service, so it's worth the money.

This explanation finally calmed Yashiro down and even gave him some inspiration, leading him to decide to further optimize the services of the new trade route and retain those old customers so that even decades later, when there are multiple trade routes to choose from, they will still choose the current one.

In addition, although the resources in the barren lands are very scarce, some rare materials in certain harsh environments are actually hard to find in the territory of Fran.

The Nora Merchant Guild, recognizing a new business opportunity and the relationship between Yashiro and Valensa, plans to hire a large number of adventurer teams to develop the Wasteland, which requires more detailed intelligence.

Yashilo wanted to collaborate with Valensa again... The Nora Merchant Guild would provide manpower, resources, markets, and distribution channels, while Valensa would share the detailed geographical and geological information of the Wasteland that she had previously obtained through a comprehensive survey using the undead legion, and send some fallen undead maids as guides to teach the Merchant Guild members how to protect themselves and avoid danger.

Valensa wasn't very business-savvy, so she contacted Tia, who was in seclusion, to discuss the matter, and also consulted Princess Yu's opinion before finally agreeing to the collaboration.

Satisfied, Yashiro left to work hard and earn more money.

After seeing Yashiro off, Valensa was just about to find a place to have a couple of drinks and relax when she received another message from Zero in the Faith Circuit.

Zero was urging her to hurry up and go to the Divine Continent.

Valensa was, after all, the direct applicant for using the superior artifact. Even if Zero could expedite the process for her as a special case, various written application materials and usage reports would still be required later on.

In addition to fulfilling the conditions of her promise to Zero, Valensa's trip to the God-Favored Continent also requires her to write various reports with minimum word counts and to be questioned by the investigation team.

Valensa only thought about these things for a moment before feeling the originally comfortable black stockings between her legs suddenly become tight.

Chapter 48 The Succubus Saintess, also a succubus!

Divinely Favored Continent, Sacred Domain.

The scenery outside the window, which was constantly disappearing behind, became clearer as the ship of light slowly slowed down, until the entire ship in the elevated canal came to a complete stop and docked.

"Hmm~~ I didn't expect to be back here so soon. I hope the application reports and investigations that need to be submitted will be easier."

The beautiful female knight, who had a spacious cabin all to herself, stretched and stood up. She straightened her skirt and stockings, which had been slightly disheveled from sitting, and prepared to leave the cabin.

The cabin door was opened first, and a nun who led the way walked in. She worked on the Ship of Light year-round, doing a job similar to Valencia's previous life as a high-speed train conductor.

"Were you satisfied with my service during this short trip, Lady Valencia?"

The nun, speaking in a soft, gentle voice, asked with a smile, then took out a pen and a hardcover notebook and handed them to Valensa:

"If you are still satisfied with me, could you please write a good review? Just a few words will do. I'm currently undergoing promotion evaluation, please... it's very important to me."

"no problem."

Most people wouldn't refuse such a simple request from a beautiful woman, and Valensa was no exception. She took the pen and notebook and quickly wrote down a few simple comments.

"Thank you so much, Lady Valensa!"

The nun was overjoyed. She took the notebook from Valencia, who had written a positive review, glanced at it, and her breathing became rapid. She even squeezed her legs together.

"What beautiful handwriting! It's just as handsome as you are. I really wish you would write such beautiful words all over my body...hehe."

"what?"

Valensa was a little dumbfounded... Had she been tricked? When she came here last time to ride the Ark of Light, there was no such thing as writing a review?

"Nothing, nothing!"

The nun quickly put the notebook away, and seeing Valensa about to leave, she bit her lip hard, a resolute glint in her eyes:

"Um... Lady Valencia!"

"…Is there anything else?"

Valensa asked, somewhat amused.

She used to look down on those brainless fans in her past life, but she never imagined that she would one day encounter a fanatical fangirl herself.

"I'm actually a huge fan of yours, a really fanatical one!"

The nun, no longer concealing her feelings, mustered her courage and said:

"I've gone to great lengths to get this opportunity to provide you with travel services... so could you please sign your autograph for me again? Something special."

"Just an autograph is fine... but what kind of special treatment do you want?"

Valensa readily took the pen again, her eyes glancing at the blouse of the guiding nun... When fans ask their idols for autographs, they seem to prefer having the idols sign their shirts and T-shirts.

Unexpectedly, the guiding nun suddenly turned around, slightly lifted her skirt, turned her back to Valensa, and stuck out her buttocks:

"I would like you to sign here, preferably with a bit of force, enough to penetrate the flesh... When I get back, I will use divine magic to fix the signature so that it can never be washed away."

Is this how you use divine magic?

Valensa thought to herself, feeling both amused and exasperated:

"Are you sure you want me to sign here? I don't really care... but aren't you afraid your boyfriend or girlfriend will misunderstand? I don't want someone to challenge me to a duel out of the blue someday."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Sensing that Valensa's words did not imply refusal, the nun became even more excited:

"My girlfriend is also a huge fan of yours. This autograph will only make her jealous, it will definitely not cause you any trouble... At most, she will find an opportunity to ask you for the same autograph. When that happens, please be sure to sign a matching one for her."

"Uh... okay, you guys are really good at this. As long as you're having fun."

Having said that, Valensa had no reason to refuse, so she picked up the pen and prepared to sign her name on the guiding nun's body.

But she frowned slightly as soon as she wrote the first syllable of her name:

"Could you untie your suspenders? They're blocking where I'm writing."

"No problem... Is this okay?"

The guiding nun immediately unhooked the stocking straps, clearing the way for Valensa to sign.

"...Wow, you're quite the player, Valensa?"

Unexpectedly, this scene was witnessed by the newcomer... In the newcomer's eyes, it was as if a beautiful guiding nun was bending over in front of Valensa, lifting her skirt, and even unfastening her suspenders, making it hard not to have impure thoughts.

"Your Highness...the Holy Maiden?"

The nun recognized the person who had come and immediately became very nervous, wanting to escape.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry! I'll get back to you... Waaah!"

Unexpectedly, her escape failed. Valensa suddenly pressed down on her waist with one hand, firmly fixing her in place, while her other hand held a pen and wrote her signature in one swift and powerful stroke.

"What are you playing? What kind of games?"

As she finished signing, Valensa calmly shrugged at the person who had come, showing no signs of nervousness or shame at being caught doing something wrong.

"It's just signing autographs for admirers, it should be normal, right? Sister Zero, as a saintess, you must have more admirers than me, surely you've seen this before?"

"That's a shame."

Zero, however, had no intention of letting Valensa off so easily. While gesturing to the guiding nun to satisfy her and then quickly leave, she walked over to Valensa and, seemingly in a ladylike manner, linked her arm with Valensa's. Meanwhile, the succubus's tail had already secretly wrapped around Valensa's calf and was creeping up the black silk like a snake.

"I've never signed autographs for an admirer like this before... How about you, Valencia, fulfill my wish and let me sign my autograph on you?"

"Uh……"

Valensa quickly squeezed her legs together to prevent the mischievous succubus tail from moving, and at the same time, she forcefully changed the subject, ignoring everything else:

"Sister Zero, why did you personally come to pick me up at the Ark of Light Orbit Station?"

"...Of course I'm here to help you out of this predicament, my dear sister."

Zero rolled his eyes at Valensa's forced change of topic:

"If I hadn't come along, you would have been taken away by the internal affairs investigation team as soon as you stepped off the Ark of Light, locked in a small dark room to write a report, and repeatedly questioned about what happened... If anything went slightly wrong, you would have been severely harassed!"

"The people in the Internal Affairs Investigation Team are all psychopaths; they love bullying famous and beautiful sisters like you, Valencia."

"Uh, is it really that scary?"

Valensa clicked her tongue in amazement; anyone who didn't know better would have thought the Church of the Sun was some kind of evil organization.

"What else do you think?"

Zero shrugged:

"The name 'internal affairs investigation' is enough to tell you it's a thankless job. It's hard work and you'll get disliked by your own siblings. Who in their right mind would want to do that kind of work? It's basically only those who like to play interrogation games and those who can't find anyone to play with. That way, they can use work as an excuse to satisfy themselves."

"Ah this..."

Valensa could only snuggle into Zero One's arms and whine sweetly:

"Then I'll have to ask you to protect me, big sister!"

As it turns out, Zero's prediction was indeed correct.

The nuns from the Internal Affairs Investigation Team who were waiting for Valensa at the Sanctuary Light Ark Orbiter Station were all very excited when they saw her. Similar to the guiding nun from before, they were probably all fanatical fans who greatly admired Valensa, except that their hobbies and desires were a bit more twisted.

On her way to the Internal Affairs Investigation Team's office, Valensa saw more than once the black or white latex suits worn directly under the nuns' uniforms by the Internal Affairs Investigation Team members, as well as strange props such as soft whips and ropes hidden under their skirts.

...If Sister Zero hadn't been with them, would they really have used those methods against them?

Imagine yourself with your hands tied and hanging from the ceiling, being questioned and tormented by a group of beautiful nuns in latex suits with whips and other toys. Valensa couldn't help but tremble. Her body, with Zero holding her arm, became even softer and almost completely pressed against Zero's body.

It seems like it would be nice to do that occasionally?

With her mind wandering, Valensa soon arrived at the Internal Affairs Investigation Team's office and was placed in a small, dark room to write a report.

Despite being called a "dark room," the room's facilities are comparable to the most luxurious hotel suites, except for the lack of any entertainment options.

The report is very difficult to write. There are four types: application report, user experience report, post-event report, and event reflection report. Each report also has a specified word count and format.

The wicked nuns in the Internal Affairs Investigation Team only told Valensa the general content and word count of the report at first, never mentioning the format. It was obvious they were deliberately trying to make Valensa make mistakes so she would have to redo it and then take the opportunity to bully her.
