The story of the black silk female knight

Look at the brave and handsome Valencia, and then look at those aristocratic young men who can't wait to hide at home.

Ha, they really are a bunch of cowards... How could I have ever thought of seducing them before?

Why not try it with your best friend or girlfriends...

...Why don't we really give it a try?

These spoiled noble ladies have always done whatever they want without hesitation, and coupled with the recent unexpected events, they have all been somewhat frightened and are now in dire need of comfort.

So the best friends immediately started discussing whose bed to sleep in tonight... The triangular relationship was a little troublesome, but in the end it seemed like they were just going to have all three of them together?

Watching the noble ladies who used to frequently discuss how to seduce men start to flirt with each other, Valensa smiled with satisfaction... At that moment, she suddenly understood those great beings a little better.

buzzing.

The membership terminal of the dimensional hardware store, which resembled a leg ring, vibrated again. Valensa opened the interface and looked at the bottom right corner:

"Oh wow? The number of attempts has increased again? It's +2? Is that even allowed?"

Valensa seemed to understand something... It seems that she doesn't necessarily have to participate in this beautiful girl sticker event herself. Being able to bring together other beautiful girl sticker events can also please those great beings?

Alright... Once we get back to Sergintown, I'll try to match Kiri and Lulu together!

Soon after the guests left, the auction house quickly became empty, leaving only adventurers like Valensa, who intended to watch the spectacle or look for an opportunity.

After observing for a while, Valensa realized that a city is a city after all... Even though the fighting strength of Klar City was much weaker than that of other cities, it was still far superior to that of Sergin Town.

Of the adventurers who remained at the scene, there were three Lighthouse-level adventurers on the surface, and even more Pearl-level adventurers. Candlelight-level adventurers like Valensa were just minor characters.

In fact, several adventurers mistook her for a reckless and troublesome noble lady and wanted to send her home... Even the Nora Merchant Guild members showed this intention.

Because the Nora Merchant Guild knows Valensa, even if a noble is in dire straits, it can still cause a lot of trouble if something unexpected happens.

Valensa only reluctantly agreed to let the adventurers and Nora Merchant Guild's bodyguards stay after she repeatedly emphasized her identity as an adventurer and promised that she would not easily take action and would only stay to watch the excitement.

Time passed by, minute by minute, and soon it was almost midnight.

Valensa kept telling herself to calm down, but she couldn't stop her heart from pounding.

She was genuinely curious and excited.

This is not only a rare opportunity to watch masters clash, but the strength of Red Fox Mask himself is also a mystery.

This phantom thief has never used any magic or treasures, and the strength and speed she displays seem to be at the level of an ordinary lighthouse.

However, whether it was the royal palace of the Kingdom of Fran or other places visited by the Phantom Thief, there were always Star-level experts present, yet the Phantom Thief still managed to succeed.

There must be some secret about Miss Phantom Thief!

Chapter 34 The Phantom Thief is Here!

Miss Phantom Thief Red Fox Mask, as always, is punctual amidst the revelers.

"She's here! She's here!"

Almost exactly 20 seconds after midnight, the bodyguards from Nora's Chamber of Commerce started shouting, their voices filled with disbelief:

"We didn't see anything, yet the painting disappeared from the safe!"

A painting? Is the treasure of Nora Merchant Guild's Clare Town Shop a painting?

Valensa secretly noted down this information, hoping it might come in handy during the treasure hunt later.

It was no surprise that the treasure would be stolen on time. After all, even with so many guards in the Fran Palace, they couldn't protect the princess's birthday gift. How much more so would the adventurers and bodyguards here?

Moreover, based on Valensa's personal experience, things probably haven't even reached the treasure hunt stage yet.

After succeeding, they simply ran away?

Then they wouldn't be revelers... Whether it's the Phantom Thief or any other reveler, they never run away immediately after they've succeeded in causing trouble. Instead, they go to the most conspicuous place to show off right away.

as predicted.

"Giggle cluck..."

Amidst the melodious laughter, a strikingly curvaceous figure appeared at the top of the rooftop of the Nora Chamber of Commerce's Klar City branch.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, one could clearly see her incredibly sexy and alluring silver bodysuit and the red fox mask with its signature mocking expression.

Ladies and gentlemen~~

Miss Phantom Thief showed no awareness of being a criminal; instead, she twirled a few times like an idol making a dazzling entrance under the spotlight, and then bowed slightly.

"Looks like everyone else is just as excited as I am for this wonderful night of revelry... Ready to play games with me?"

"...Grab her! Get that painting back!"

The Nora Chamber of Commerce's bodyguard captain stared blankly for a while before biting his tongue hard.

"Our chamber of commerce's commitment remains valid. Anyone who can retrieve or find that painting and hand it over to us can choose any item from tonight's unsold auction items!"

"..."

None of the adventurers moved.

Most of them actually shared the same thought as Wanlunsha: they didn't believe they could stop Miss Thief, and just wanted to try their luck in the subsequent treasure hunt.

However, some people are quite confident in their abilities.

He was one of the three lighthouse-level adventurers, a thin middle-aged man, who suddenly pulled out two short swords and rushed toward the roof.

He was very fast; he could even run on a wall perpendicular to the ground using inertia, and in just a few seconds he was not far from Red Fox Mask.

"Giggle..."

The phantom thief remained composed, and even let out another silvery laugh:

"Oh? Looks like the first brave soul has appeared. This uncle wants to play with them~~"

Only after she finished speaking did she begin to twist her body. Her movements were elegant and slow, like a dance, yet she always managed to dodge the thin middle-aged man's short sword perfectly.

"cut!"

The gaunt middle-aged man, a powerful figure at the Lighthouse level, seemed somewhat annoyed by such disrespectful teasing. His already fast double short swords unleashed a flurry of thrusts that were so dazzling that they even left afterimages.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hurt Miss Phantom Thief in the slightest. He was even hit by Miss Phantom Thief's only counterattack kick and was almost kicked off the roof.

"Oh dear~~"

Having temporarily repelled one of them, the phantom thief laughed again, swaying her hips and body like the flirtatious dancers in the tavern, her alluring figure dazzling under the moonlight.

Valensa could clearly hear many men around her secretly swallowing their saliva.

Hmph, you show-off brat!

Hmph, you idiot who only thinks with your lower body!

Feeling contempt for both the enemy and his comrades, the Valencians shrank further into the corner.

Her almost paranoid caution kicked in again; she was very worried that the many male adventurers present would be seduced by the phantom thief and unable to resist attacking her.

As it turned out, she was overthinking things again... Indeed, many adventurers couldn't hold back any longer, but they didn't even glance at her. Instead, they all raised their weapons and rushed towards the Phantom Thief.

A chaotic brawl immediately broke out on the rooftop, with all sorts of weapons being hurled at the Phantom Thief... It was unclear whether these adventurers genuinely wanted to defeat her or simply wanted to tear apart her silver bodysuit.

These people are not as strong as the thin middle-aged man from before, but they have a great advantage in numbers.

Although the phantom thief would still occasionally let out a few charming laughs, she could no longer stay within a certain range as before. Instead, she began to leap and move between different rooftops, heading towards the outside of the city.

Valensa immediately started running on the ground, her eyes fixed on the battle above.

Valensa couldn't see the speed of that lighthouse-level gaunt man's twin swords clearly before, but this time she finally noticed some clues.

The silver bodysuit worn by the phantom thief is not just for showing off her figure, but also serves a protective function.

Of course, clothing so thin that you can even vaguely see the outline of underwear is certainly not very protective, but its surface is very smooth, which can deflect most swords and other sharp weapons that are not at a sufficient angle.

In addition, the Phantom Thief's elegant, dance-like movements caused many adventurers to lose their balance because their weapons would slip to the side after hitting them, or they would be thrown off balance by the Phantom Thief or kicked away by her counterattack.

Within minutes, most of those who had gone to chase and besiege Miss Phantom Thief were shaken off, and it seemed that Miss Phantom Thief was about to disappear into the night.

The other two Lighthouse-level adventurers finally made their move.

The first to act was a magician, the one who first summoned a fireball to help illuminate the place after the auction hall was plunged into darkness.

He was completely wrapped in a large gray cloak, obscuring his figure and face; only his voice suggested he was a man.

He must have used some kind of interference or control spell. I didn't see any light or shadow effects, but the phantom thief stumbled as he swung his staff and almost fell from mid-air during her jump.

Another lighthouse-level archer, whose beard had already turned white, did not miss the opportunity. He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it out like lightning, aiming straight for the phantom thief's waist.

The body was disrupted by magic and lost its balance, and was also locked on by a Lighthouse-level archer. This situation could be considered a dead end for most people below the Star-level.

At the very least, Valensa couldn't figure out how a warrior-type cultivator could escape safely without using a Noble Phantasm.

"what?"

But the Phantom Thief has managed to cause trouble on the continent of Frenoia for so many years without getting caught, so she certainly won't be shot down so easily.

To Valensa's slightly agape surprise, the alluring and fiery silver figure of the Phantom Thief suddenly became illusory, causing the arrow to pass through as if hitting a phantom, and even suddenly accelerating out of the range of the interference spell.

Chapter 35 A Phantom Thief Girl Fell From the Sky

What ability is this?

Valensa's heart began to race.

Judging from her previous combat performance, the Phantom Thief is clearly a warrior-type cultivator, so this move should not be a secret technique.

...Could it be that the silver bodysuit is actually a Noble Phantasm?

But that's unlikely... The Phantom Thief Red Fox Mask from the Carnival is quite a celebrity. If she really had a Noble Phantasm, the information would have been revealed long ago, instead of her strength remaining unknown to this day.

Furthermore, if the Phantom Thief was truly a Radiant-rank powerhouse possessing a Noble Phantasm, she would not have been so easily swayed by the interference magic of a Lighthouse-level mage.

That is to say...

This is likely a special skill belonging to a warrior-type cultivator?

I want to learn! I really want to learn!

Valensa's heart beat even faster because this skill was a perfect match for her divine runes. If she could learn it, why would she need magic shield scrolls and protective items?

She couldn't wait to join the battle, capture the phantom thief, and use the interrogation techniques she had learned from various works in her previous life to force her to hand over the cultivation method.

Just as Valensa had already taken one step out, she suddenly took a breath, bit her tongue hard, and squeezed her two black-stockinged legs tightly together.

She finally calmed down at the last moment, remembered the difference between herself and the phantom thief, and didn't foolishly go up and give herself away.

Although giving it away for free shouldn't be too dangerous, it will most likely just result in being kicked away like other adventurers.

While Valensa's heart raced and she was lost in thought, the battle resumed on the rooftop.

The gaunt middle-aged man who had attacked first joined the battle once again, launching a siege with the help of the gray-cloaked mage and the white-bearded archer.

The combined efforts of the three Lighthouse-level fighters instantly raised the level of their combat skills. They and Miss Phantom Thief leaped across the rooftops of Klar City, fighting faster and faster.

Valensa had been sprinting like a racehorse, but she still couldn't keep up and could only watch helplessly as the battle slipped further and further away from her.

...Sigh, I'm still too weak.

Realizing she would likely not see the next battle, Valensa decisively chose to give up.

It was hard to say how long the fight between the three Lighthouse-level adventurers and the phantom thief of unknown strength would last. She didn't want to wait foolishly in the middle of the night like the other adventurers, so she decided to get some sleep and rest first, and deal with it tomorrow morning.

Miss Phantom Thief's treasure hunt is not so easy to complete. Taking the initiative is not very useful. It is better to conserve your energy, summarize the information, and think carefully.

With that thought in mind, Valensa changed direction and headed towards the largest hotel in Clare City.

Melissa will be staying at the Adventurers' Guild tonight. Valensa isn't as familiar with the Adventurers' Guild in Klar City as she is in Sergin Town, so she won't be going to freeload there.

It just so happens that the noble ladies at tonight's auction saved Valensa a lot of gold coins, so she plans to book a luxurious room with a bathroom and treat herself to a hot bath.

The hotel staff were clearly curious about a female knight in black stockings checking into a room alone late at night, but faced with the glittering gold coins and noble insignia, she wisely kept quiet and smoothly completed the check-in process.

"A room that costs 3 gold coins a night... This is the first time I've had one since leaving the capital."

With her room key in hand, Valensa quickly found her room on the top floor of the hotel. As soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to take off her clothes and rush to the bathroom.

"Phew, this is exactly what I wanted!"

Looking at the large wooden barrel, which was a meter in diameter and had a drain and a stopper at the bottom, Valensa's face beamed with a satisfied smile.

This world doesn't have a running water system, but it has more useful water-based magic crystals, so hygiene conditions are not bad at all, and bathing is very common.
