The story of the black silk female knight

"You... well, okay."

Seeing that Tucker was determined, Valensa, who was not related to him, did not want to persuade him any further. She got up and left, leaving Tucker to sit there quietly by himself.

Valensa sat down at an empty table, resting her chin on her hand as she fell into thought.

According to Tucker, the Winged Falcon launched its attack after the screech, but the attack arrived almost simultaneously with the screech, accompanied by an explosion.

This means that the Winged Falcon already had supersonic speeds at least during its explosive dive.

No wonder Hand, despite his Pearl-level strength, was powerless to resist. Even a Lighthouse-level fighter could be injured or killed by such a supersonic slash if caught off guard.

Perhaps only by breaking through the true dividing line of cultivators and advancing to the Star Glory level can one easily deal with the Winged Falcon.

However, the Winged Falcon's overall rating of only Pearl-level despite its strong attack power suggests that its defense is likely quite weak, its endurance is probably poor, and it may only have one burst of power.

Otherwise, Tucker certainly wouldn't have survived, let alone brought back Hand's belongings.

From this perspective, being attacked first by the Winged Falcon is indeed extremely dangerous, requiring even a Lighthouse-class archer to be fully focused and cautious. Conversely, if one can gain the initiative, perhaps a Candlelight-class archer could shoot down the Winged Falcon.

Valensa's eyes flickered for a while, and finally she sighed softly in resignation.

No, I can't do it.

The winged falcon is certainly well aware of its weaknesses, which is why it lives high up on cliffs where the view is very open, making it almost impossible to approach it quietly without being detected.

Valensa knows how to use a bow and arrow, but that's all she does; she doesn't have any special talent as a sharpshooter.

If she had a sniper rifle capable of long-range precision strikes, she might give it a try, but unfortunately she's never drawn such a modern weapon from the Dimensional Hardware Store; perhaps there's some kind of limitation.

Chapter 18 Inviting a beautiful woman for drinks after get off work

Valensa had considered the possibility of the divine runes' attacks reflecting off, but that didn't work either.

This move would indeed likely kill the Winged Falcon, but the problem is that Valensa herself currently has no way to withstand the supersonic slash, and she will inevitably perish along with it.

Even if I save up enough money to buy a magic shield scroll, can I really react in time to a supersonic attack from the sky and activate the scroll and attack reflection ability?

Valensa wasn't very confident... She herself was a skilled female knight, and she was simply no match for an enemy who was equally fast and even faster than her.

"Looks like I'll have to listen to Melina for a while and avoid the Winged Falcon's activity area when doing missions..."

With a soft sigh, Valensa first handed in the mission to hunt down the armored bear-men and received the bounty. Then she wrote down the information about the Winged Falcon that she had just learned from Tucker and posted it on the notice board in the adventurers' lobby to warn everyone to be careful.

After doing all that, Valensa rubbed the slightly warm gold coins in her skirt pocket, and looking at Kiri and Lulu, who were full of youthful energy at the front desk, she had another 'wicked idea'.

"Hi, you two beautiful ladies."

She smiled frivolously and took out a gold coin, pressing it onto the counter:

"How about we grab a few drinks after get off work tonight? It's on me."

"Oh? Miss, you're going to treat us to drinks?"

Both receptionist girls were somewhat surprised.

In the past, it was always men who wanted to invite them for drinks. Even when girls invited them out, it was mostly for milk tea and snacks. This was the first time I'd ever seen someone invite them for drinks.

"We just finished that armored bear-man's mission, so we wanted to celebrate..."

Valensa shrugged and sighed quite naturally:

"I was just thinking of asking you guys to grab some snacks and go shopping together, but I just heard about Uncle Hand being attacked, and it's making me feel a bit down... How about you have a couple of drinks with me?"

"This……"

Both Qili and Lulu seemed quite interested, but they didn't agree immediately. Instead, they stole a glance into the distance.

Near the center of the guild hall, Melina was talking to several veteran adventurers from Sergintown about the Beastmen warriors, but her ears were perked up, clearly watching Valensa's side.

"Sister Melina~~".

Seeing this, Valensa walked over with a smile:

"I'm planning to have a couple of drinks with Qili and Lulu tonight, do you want to come?"

"I……"

A flicker of joy clearly crossed Melina's eyes, but she quickly shook her head:

"I'll pass. You three have a good time tonight... I still have work to do overtime, and besides, I'm Qili and Lulu's boss, they won't be able to relax with me around."

"Okay, then I'll accompany Melina next time."

Valensa didn't insist.

She then spent her time in the Adventurers' Guild Hall, where she heard many rumors about the Winged Falcon and the elite warriors of the Beast Clan from the adventurers who returned later.

They stayed like that until 9 p.m. before Kiri and Lulu finally got off work. Valensa, who couldn't wait any longer, grabbed one of them by the hand and went to the bar on the next street.

This bar is quite similar to the descriptions in Valencia's fantasy adventure novels from her previous life.

The bar no longer had the rock music and various lights of my previous life. There were only small groups of drinkers sitting together at the tables, most of them with flushed faces and slightly drunk expressions.

Several scantily clad, glamorous dancers moved through the crowd, occasionally letting out coquettish whimpers and alluring laughs as they were taken advantage of.

They would occasionally sit on the laps of their favorite customers and drink with them openly. Although they would definitely be taken advantage of, they could still earn a lot of money from their collars.

In this indulgent and ambiguous environment, the arrival of Valensa, the black-stockinged female knight, and two pretty girls in uniforms naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The men's eyes were mostly burning with desire, while the dancers were more resentful and jealous, even wondering if these three men were there to cause trouble... What decent girl would come to a place like this?

Many men are eager to take advantage of the situation, hoping to strike up a conversation or even take advantage of the situation while they are drunk.

Fortunately, they were mostly only slightly drunk and had not completely lost their minds. Valensa's knightly attire and the obvious noble insignia on her chest ultimately made the men hesitate.

Even the most ignorant and shameless scoundrels would not provoke nobles unless they were driven to the brink.

They bully the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in the slums, and even if someone reports it, the security guards and soldiers in charge of maintaining order mostly just turn a blind eye.

But if they offend a nobleman, the guards and soldiers will become extremely motivated, eager to find and deal with the person even if it means digging three feet into the ground—this would be a great achievement for them.

Valensa was well aware of these things, which is why she openly brought two beautiful young women to the bar.

As she had predicted, those drunken men did have their eyes wide open, but unfortunately, they were all lustful but lacked the courage to do anything... Not only did they not come to cause trouble, but none of them even dared to come over and talk to her.

Oh no, actually there are some.

"Young Miss, there are also two beauties from the Adventurers' Guild."

The bartender with the best eyesight recognized the three women and took the initiative to lead them to a relatively quiet spot to sit down.

"What brings you three here today? Would you like something to drink?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Valensa waved her hand, using the same excuse:

"Something happened today, and everyone's feeling pretty down, so we thought we'd come here to relax... Do you have any good-tasting, strong wines? Let's have a few glasses first... and some fruit and snacks too."

Snapped.

As Valensa spoke, she slammed two gleaming gold coins onto the table.

"Alright... Miss, please have a seat with the two beauties. I'll make the arrangements for you right away."

Under the glow of the gold coins, the tavern tavern waiter became even more enthusiastic, and the dancers who worked hard to earn money among the men all showed envy.

At this moment, they desperately wished that the young lady was a man, so that they could throw themselves into her arms.

As for being taken advantage of... can being taken advantage of by a handsome young nobleman be called taking advantage of someone? That should be called mutual affection... and such a generous nobleman must have given a generous reward.

Valensa really wanted to try being accompanied by beautiful dancers while drinking, but she was a little disgusted that the dancers here were already covered in men's scent. Besides, she already had two female companions with her tonight, so she could only dream about it.

Actually, there are taverns in the capital that only cater to female customers, and the hostesses are all beautiful young women. Although the prices are high, the experience is exceptionally wonderful.

Valensa once secretly took her younger sister Elena there, but they were too young at the time and were stopped by the tavern waiters' sweet talk, who then notified their parents.

As a result... of course, both of them got a good scolding, and Valensa even got a good spanking from her mother.

Chapter 19 The young lady is not very satisfied with the harvest.

Thanks to the combined effect of gold coins and her noble status, the tavern service was excellent, and Valensa's ordered wines, snacks, and fruits were served quickly.

The wine is a type of grape wine with a wonderful taste, almost no bitterness, and it's served with ice. Enjoying a glass of it on a summer night would be a fantastic experience.

The desserts and fruits are also of the highest quality; the small cakes are fluffy and soft, and the fruits are fresh and juicy, both of which are the perfect pairings for chilled wine.

Valensa was initially a little dissatisfied that the wine wasn't strong enough... How could she do anything naughty if she didn't get the two beauties, Kiri and Lulu, drunk?

Fortunately, she soon realized that her worries were completely unnecessary... This chilled wine tasted as sweet as fruit juice, but its aftereffects were definitely not small.

Even with Valensa's Candlelight-level warrior physique, her face felt burning hot after just one glass of wine, and all sorts of shameless ideas started running wild for a moment.

Qili and Lulu were in even worse shape; their faces quickly turned red and their eyes became glazed, and they even started to slur their words.

Valensa was quite pleased with this. Instead of rushing to do anything, she continued chatting and persuading Kiri and Lulu to finish the rest of the wine.

Kiri and Lulu were clearly not wary of Valensa, who was also a woman, and they both poured out their troubles at work to her under the influence of alcohol. Almost all of them were being harassed and teased by male adventurers... They made no attempt to hide their dissatisfaction with men.

Valensa listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting with her comments, subtly instilling in them the idea that men are all lewd and unreliable, and that only girls can have fun together.

Before long, all the snacks and fruits were eaten, and several glasses of chilled grape juice were also consumed by the three girls.

Valencia's face was still slightly flushed, but Kiri and Lulu were clearly drunk, and even started talking nonsense and almost took off their clothes in public.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Valensa no longer hesitated. Carrying a little beauty in one arm, she returned to the Adventurers' Guild's staff dormitory, but instead of going to Melina's room, she went to Kiri and Lulu's room.

Neither of the two drunk girls refused Valensa entry into the room; instead, they pulled her in, insisting she stay and saying they were going to have a good time that night.

Valensa, of course, would not refuse and soon took the initiative to start a war.

The three girls were playing around in the room without restraint, with pillow fights and underwear battles taking turns.

Sometimes Valencia held her own against two opponents, and sometimes she was sandwiched between them.

In the midst of their playful antics, all sorts of ambiguous physical contact were inevitable, but neither Qili nor Lulu paid any attention and instead played even more wildly.

Finally, when they were all too exhausted to continue, the three women huddled together and fell asleep in the messy room.

They're all having this much fun, it should be pretty much BL-ish enough, right?

I wonder how many more blind box draws I'll get tonight?

Because Valensa herself was exhausted and tipsy, she didn't even have time to check the Dimensional Hardware Store membership terminal before falling asleep between Kiri and Lulu.

She was, after all, a Candlelight-level warrior, and recovered quickly. She woke up early the next morning. When she woke up, the other two girls were still fast asleep, with four arms and four legs wrapped tightly around her.

Valensa carefully freed herself from the pink legs and jade arms, and immediately opened her member terminal to check the number of blind box draws.

"...How is this possible? It only increased by two times? I clearly slept with Melina for one night and didn't do anything, yet it already happened five times!"

Valensa was utterly incredulous as she watched the number in the bottom right corner of the screen simply change from 05 to 07.

Although she wasn't as affectionate with Qili and Lulu as a real couple last night, they still did a lot of things they could during their playful banter. How could it only be twice more? It should have been at least ten times!

Although the investment of two gold coins and the two blind box draws earned in one night of playing around were already a great gain compared to before, Valensa was still very dissatisfied... This was completely different from her expectations.

Why is this so?

Even though Qili and Lulu are both quite cute and had a lot of fun last night, and even Valensa herself was taken advantage of a lot during the playful fight, what else could those bored, spectating great beings possibly be dissatisfied with?

After mentally ranting and raving, Valensa didn't just stay angry and dissatisfied; instead, she quickly began to think about and find the reasons.

She tried to put herself in the audience's shoes, thinking that if her life were a work of art, what was missing from last night's bonus content?

Thinking about it this way, Valensa actually figured out quite a few reasons.

First of all, while Qili and Lulu are both quite cute, their 'quality' is probably not quite there yet.

Secondly, it was because he succeeded too easily...

If you can get a lot of rewards just by drinking and having fun with a few pretty girls for one night, then wouldn't you be able to farm a lot of times by going to a tavern in the capital that only caters to female customers?

Even if it's meant to be a fan service story, it's fine to see this kind of storyline once or twice for novelty, but after seeing it too many times, you'll definitely get tired of it.

Another point is the "favorability query" function on the member terminal, which clearly indicates that the close interaction with the pretty girl is not just about ambiguous actions.

Think about it, would those great beings lack beautiful girls to look at? Even the most beautiful woman in the world is probably just so-so among countless others.

Those great beings are already tired of simple physical interactions between beautiful girls; there must be a romantic or exciting storyline to keep things interesting.

For example, his sudden confession to Melina last time, attempting to break through from sisterly affection to romantic love, might have been a point of interest in the eyes of those great beings. That's why, even though he only dabbled and didn't do much, he got a full five more blind box draws.

As for people like Qili and Lulu who were just having fun under the influence of alcohol, even if I had taken advantage of them last night, I probably wouldn't have gotten many more rewards.
