The story of the black silk female knight

Regardless of their character, the man and woman were still talented.

After settling in the ruins, they persevered in their research and actually managed to uncover some things about the ancient Eve civilization... They were eventually able to see the writing of the ancient Eve civilization and perform simple repairs, restarts, and use the equipment in the ruins.

The ultra-low temperature zone surrounding the ruins, where even the air remains in a liquid state, and the high temperature inside the research facility are both their creations.

They disassembled the entire cooling system of the ruins and combined it with the magic of sects and mountain gates from the Eastern Continent, as well as the environment of the ice plains themselves, to create that ultra-low temperature zone as an absolute defense for this place, making it difficult even for a Radiant-rank expert to pass through.

Inside the facility, which houses multiple high-powered servers, the temperature naturally rose higher and higher after the cooling system was lost, until it was just like what Valensa and her group had just experienced.

In other words, the technological achievements of the ancient Eve civilization were of such high quality that they could still function normally even in temperatures approaching 1,000 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the server would have crashed or even been damaged long ago, and Qingyi, having lost the last data, would most likely have perished completely.

After establishing absolute defenses in the ultra-low temperature zone, the next step is to attack.

The man and woman who were already able to understand the script of the ancient Eve civilization naturally discovered the products of the entire race's plan to become undead.

They treasured that product and weaponized it, resulting in the current Netherworld Demon... They want to use the power of the Netherworld Demon to fight their way back to the Eastern Continent, take revenge, and reclaim everything they have lost.

Unfortunately, what lies dormant in this ruin are not only the results of those experiments, but also the blue-clad figure.

When Qingyi first woke up, she knew nothing and had no memory of anything, but her subconscious judgment made her understand that the man and woman were intruders and enemies, and that she had to fight back.

There's no need to elaborate on how bizarre Qingyi's powers are. Even a Moon Radiance expert would have a high chance of being killed by a single shot upon first meeting her, and the man and woman were no exception.

Just as their revenge plan was about to unfold, they all fell to the spear of the man in blue.

Neither the burly man's Holy Yang Sect secret technique nor the petite swordswoman's protective sword formation could stop the bullet from the second dimension.

Although the man and woman are dead, their revenge plan has been launched. The ghosts are being continuously produced by the facilities in this ruin and are attacking humans according to their instructions before they died.

It's true that Qingyi killed the man and woman on instinct, but having no memory of it, she had no idea what she was going to do next.

The commands used by the man and woman to control the Netherworld Ghosts were directly written into the main server of the control center of this ruin, so Qingyi would naturally be affected as well.

So after killing the man and woman, Qingyi, who had no memory of her previous life, began to act according to their instructions, indiscriminately attacking humans and destroying cities and towns.

The original target of the man and woman's revenge was clearly the Eastern Tianxuan Continent.

However, the Tianxuan Continent and the Arctic Ice Plains do not share a land border. The only continent on the entire planet Eve that shares a land border with the Ice Plains is the Frenoia Continent.

Thus, America, located in the northern part of the Frenoia continent, suffered a terrible misfortune, becoming the primary target of the Blue Robes and the Netherworld Ghosts, and was ravaged by natural disasters for a thousand years.

Fortunately, Qingyi couldn't stray too far from her data server, and the furthest she could move was the Ice Plains. As for the Netherworld Ghost, which served as a weapon, it needed to periodically return to the Ice Plains to slumber and recharge. Otherwise, America would probably have been completely overrun long ago.

Of course, this problem is no longer a concern. With Qingyi's abilities, she can easily obtain the highest level of access to this ruin and control all the Netherworld Ghosts.

"Anyway, let's restore the cooling system here first... Although the servers in the research institute are of very good quality, they will eventually burn out if they are not cooled down."

After listening to Qingyi recount the whole story, Valensa made this judgment.

"Okay." x2

Frigia and Qingyi naturally wouldn't refuse; as people of the ancient Eve civilization, they hoped that everything in the ruins would remain intact.

Guided by the blue-clad figure, Valensa and Friggia entered the underground of the ruins and found the ruins' cooling system, which had been separated by the man and woman, and the large array they had deployed using magic from the Tianxuan Continent.

According to Qingyi, that formation was quite powerful, and it took the man and woman more than ten years of hard work to finally complete it.

Friggia also praised the great formation highly, saying that even she would need some time to break it.

However, the truth is... the great formation was quickly broken.

Because the Flame Halberd, a treasured artifact left behind by the strong man, is the key to the great formation.

With the key in hand and with the all-knowing witch Friggia around, even the most powerful array was no match for it, and it eventually stopped functioning.

After breaking the great formation, Friggia used the excuse of needing to rest to hide in Valensa's shadow and wouldn't come out no matter how much she was called, saying that she was exhausted and that Valensa would have to do the rest of the work herself.

After Qingyi finished explaining how to restore the cooling system, Valensa could only smile wryly.

Since the work that followed was mostly physical labor, Valensa had to disassemble many cooling system modules, each weighing tons, from the main array and move them back to the building where the servers were located, then reassemble them and start them up.

It was troublesome and tedious, but there was no better way. As a high-ranking member of the church and a noble lady, Valensa could only become a porter, working alongside Nana under the direction of Qingyi.

This busy work took most of the day before everything was finally done.

With the reassembled cooling system restarted in the right place, the high temperature inside the research facility, which was several hundred degrees Celsius, quickly dropped to a level that ordinary humans could tolerate.

Conversely, after the great formation stopped operating, the ultra-low temperature region surrounding the ruins, where even the air could only remain in a liquid state, began to gradually warm up.

According to Qingyi and Friggia's calculations, in at most two months, this ice field will revert to its appearance from over 1400 years ago, with the lowest temperature only around -90 degrees Celsius... It will be very cold, but not so cold that no life can survive.

The remains of those warriors who once tried to unravel the mystery of the Hades in order to save America have also had the opportunity to return home.

"Currently, there are still 1193 Netherworld Ghosts in the entire Icefield."

After fixing the cooling system, Qingyi looked at Valensa, who was resting in a chair in the control center, and asked very seriously:

"They may seem weak to you, but they are still extremely dangerous weapons of war... Should we destroy them all?"

"Of course... wait a minute."

Valensa was about to agree to destroy the ghost, but then something occurred to her, and she looked thoughtfully in the opposite direction from where she had come from:

"I remember you said that if we go in that direction and cross an ocean, we'll reach the Eastern Tianxuan Continent, right?"

Chapter 59 2/3

"You intend to use the Netherworld Ghosts to attack the Tianxuan Continent?"

Qingyi immediately understood the meaning behind Valensa's words... or rather, she thought she understood Valensa's meaning.

"No."

So the woman in green shook her head decisively and said seriously:

“You are a friend of Sister Friggia, and also my friend… Your country is about to be invaded by the army of Tianxuan Continent. I can help you, but I will not help you invade other countries, especially not with dangerous weapons like the Netherworld Ghost.”

For a powerful person like you, the threat of the Netherworld Ghosts may not be much, but for ordinary people, the Netherworld Ghosts are a catastrophe. A single Netherworld Ghost could destroy a town.

Even in war, it's fine to kill enemy soldiers by any means necessary, but isn't using ghosts to slaughter civilians a bit too much?

Valensa wasn't annoyed by Qingyi's somewhat accusatory words. She patiently waited until Qingyi finished speaking before smiling, shaking her head, and pointing to the sky.

“You’ve misunderstood me… I am, after all, a Holy Knight of Her Majesty the Goddess. I would never do something like using Netherworld Ghosts to slaughter civilians, not even against an enemy.”

"Is that so... Okay, I believe you, I'm sorry."

Qingyi and Valensa stared intently at each other across the screen for a moment before nodding. Qingyi readily apologized for the previous misunderstanding, then asked with some curiosity:

"So you want me to keep the Netherworld Ghost, and you mentioned the Eastern Continent because...?"

"One should always be wary of others."

Valensa shrugged, leaned back in her chair, crossed her right leg over her left, and dangled her toes gently.

"I haven't seen the people of the Central Continent Empire with my own eyes, so I can't comment on them, but their rulers are definitely not good people. They only want to conquer and destroy, and they are also very cunning."

Now that the great formation here has been dispelled, that ultra-low temperature region will disappear sooner or later, and this North Pole will become a place that elite troops can cross.

Therefore, I must leave a force here for defense... Not only do I not intend to destroy all those ghosts, but I also want to build a fortress here.”

"Build a fortress here... okay."

After only a moment's hesitation, Qingyi readily agreed:

"I can do my best to help you with this. Just let me know what kind of fortress you want to build once you have a plan."

After discussing the follow-up plan for the ruins, Valensa began to plan her return.

Judging by the time, she has been in the core area of ​​the Ice Plains for more than 40 hours. Even if she is the famous Sunflower Duchess, it would definitely be worrying if she didn't come out for so long.

After resting for more than an hour through earnest prayer, Valensa allowed her physical strength and divine power to almost fully recover before re-entering that ultra-low temperature zone where even the air was liquid.

This time, there was no specially made tight-fitting cold-proof suit, so they could only keep the Yang Flame Divine Power in a high-consumption state to resist the ultra-low temperature.

However, there were no enemies in the ultra-low temperature zone this time, so Valensa's return journey was quite easy, and she successfully passed through the ultra-low temperature zone.

Valensa was clearly stunned for a moment as she crossed the boundary line and stepped out of the liquid air.

Because at this moment, a considerable number of people had gathered in the deepest part of this icy plain, most of them were clergy from the Church of the Sun, as well as soldiers and adventurers from America.

They actually built a camp on the ice field where the temperature was about -100 degrees Celsius and were making various preparations to cross the boundary line, clearly indicating that they were about to start a large-scale exploration.

When Valencia was a little stunned when she saw these people, they were also stunned for a moment, and then they burst into cheers!

"She has come back!"

"She's really back!"

"As expected of her!"

The fact that he was the first person in thousands of years to enter the core of the ice field and return alive is enough to make him a part of history.

After the cheers subsided, the people who had built the camp there all turned their attention to Valensa, hoping she would bring back better news.

Valensa did not disappoint them. With a slight smile, she revealed the greatest achievement of the trip:

"There will be no more calamities from the underworld."

!

Even though many people had already imagined this, when they actually heard these words, they were still moved to tears, and some even knelt down to kiss the ice.

Cheers once again echoed throughout the camp.

A full half minute passed before one of the American priests in the camp seemed to suddenly remember another important matter and tentatively asked Valensa:

"Then... what about Lady [Moon Cluster]? She should have gone in with you, right?"

Then everyone saw that Valensa's smiling expression suddenly turned somewhat sad.

"Seraphim... has returned to the divine realm."

After taking a deep breath, Valensa still spoke her mind:

"She used the divine spell 'Sunset Glow' to solve a major problem for me, which enabled me to finally complete the plan... She deserves half the credit for completely resolving the Netherworld Calamity this time."

"Is that so? Lady [Moon Cluster]... sigh."

The clergy, who had been prepared since Valensa's expression turned sorrowful, bowed their heads and gently drew lines on their chests, offering prayers for the departed hero.

The purpose of these people building a camp here and preparing to cross the border was naturally to support or rescue Valensa.

Now that Valensa has returned victorious, there is no need for the camp to continue operating, so everyone packed up and returned with Valensa.

The news spread quickly.

In less than half a month, almost the entire Frenoia continent knew that after the Wild Beasts were wiped out by the expeditionary force, the threat of the Nether Ghosts had also completely disappeared.

The solution was once again provided by the legendary Sunflower Duchess.

She became even more legendary; now, bards in taverns would be laughed at if they couldn't readily recount ten of the Sunflower Duchess's tales.

Many adventure novel authors have used her as a model for their new works. Ordinary people regard her as the chosen one and the darling of the world, while devout believers believe that she is the representative of the sun goddess, destined to use the sun's light and warmth to dispel all coldness and darkness.

Meanwhile, in the Four Islands Alliance in the southern part of the mainland, people are not only enjoying the new legendary story of the Sunflower Duchess, but also have even greater expectations.

The three great natural disasters of the Frenoia continent are the Wild Beasts, the Netherworld Ghosts, and the Mist Demons.

Now that the Wild Beasts and Netherworld Ghosts have become history, what about the Mist Demons?

When will the Fog Demon become harmless, so that the residents of the Four Islands Alliance no longer have to lock their doors and hide in closets to pray every time it's foggy?

Valensa is looking forward to this as well.

In a private room of a famous dessert shop in the capital of France, Valensa fed Tia strawberry ice cream with a spoon while she and Friggia exchanged notes, carefully explaining their plan against the Fog Demon to Qingyi.

Originally, due to the limited signal range of the server in the center of the ice field, Qingyi was unable to leave the ice field and travel to the southern part of the continent.

But this didn't stop Friggia. After returning to the underground ruins, she used the network technology of the ancient Eve civilization to establish a link with the ruins in the center of the Icefield.

Currently, although Qingyi cannot appear on any smooth surface in the form of a two-dimensional reflection like in the ice field, it is still fine to appear on a tablet screen.

The woman in blue, sitting on the screen at the table, listened patiently to Valensa and Frieda's words, then pondered carefully for a while before cautiously speaking:

"Lenia's minions... If Lenia still exists, even at my peak, I would probably have a hard time controlling them, and I might even be controlled by Lenia instead... After all, Lenia is a digital life form standing at the pinnacle of this universe, and even if I am a false god, I am far inferior to her."

“But Lenya has already fallen. I’m certain of it; I saw it with my own eyes.”

Friggia smiled, licking the cream popsicle in her hand as she said:

"The so-called Mist Demons now are Lenia's minions who have lost their database. They are simply acting according to their original logic to fill the void in their souls, without even a plan or mission... This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"For me at my peak, it was of course not difficult. I could easily rewrite their code and make them all obedient."

The woman in green nodded first, then sighed:

"But I'm not at my peak anymore, and the gap is still huge... If I were to forcefully attack the firewall of Lenia's minions now, I would only have a 3% chance of winning at most."
