The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa smiled wryly and withdrew her hand.

“Normally, the direct descendants of the Badr family should awaken their powers at the age of four or five, but I, the eldest daughter, was more than ten years late…”

Thankfully, it finally woke up, otherwise I would have started to doubt whether I was even its biological child.

"As long as I awaken!"

Seeing this, Tia quickly took Valensa's hand and gently comforted her:

"As far as I know, you've been stuck at the Candlelight level for quite a while now, right? Of course, this is in comparison to how you went from being completely powerless to being able to solo Pearl-level monsters in just three years."

Now that you have finally awakened the power of light, you can start practicing those family-inherited sword techniques... I believe you will soon be able to truly break through to the Pearl level, or even directly strive towards the Lighthouse.

After all, for you warrior-type cultivators, mere physical training only gets you up to the Candlelight level. The key to advancing to the Pearl level and continuing to grow stronger lies in being able to condense energy within your body to further enhance yourself.

"Yes, I can finally break through the Pearl level barrier."

Finally, I'll have a chance to use the remaining enhancement cards!

Valensa appeared to be smiling, but she didn't seem particularly happy.

"But Tia, have you forgotten something? All of our Baldr family's inherited sword techniques can only be mastered by possessing a treasured artifact, and our family's treasured artifact is already..."

"Well..."

Tia frowned as well.

The family secrets and bloodline powers of noble families like theirs are usually complete sets, and the two must be combined to maximize their effectiveness.

This is also a means for the great nobles to maintain the superiority of their orthodox bloodline. Even if outsiders are lucky enough to obtain some bloodline or skills, in most cases they simply cannot compare with the direct descendants.

So Valensa's current situation is a bit awkward.

Having lost her family's inherited treasure, even if she awakens her bloodline power, it will be difficult for her to fully utilize it.

"Perhaps you could try going to the Church of the Sun."

Tia hesitated for a long time, but finally relented to Valensa:

"I overheard this from a private conversation between my father and the prime minister... You must not tell anyone else, or we'll both be in trouble."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I'll definitely keep it a secret!"

Valensa quickly assured her.

"I heard……"

Tia swallowed hard, clearly about to reveal a big secret:

"Your Badr family has a close relationship with the Church of the Sun, and may even be the people the Church of the Sun uses to secretly monitor the royal family and nobles."

The Moon-level Radiant Swordsman who founded the Baldr family was very likely a master secretly trained by the Church of the Sun, and his skills naturally came from the Church of the Sun.

Therefore, although the treasured artifacts he left behind have been destroyed, the Church of the Sun might still contain the most suitable sword techniques for you to cultivate.

Chapter 105: The Chuunibyou Swordsman vs. the Monkey

The Badr family and the Church of the Sun have a close relationship...

Tia's words made Valensa think.

Upon closer examination, this is indeed quite possible.

Her parents doted on her immensely, even spoiling her, but were exceptionally strict on matters of faith.

When I was a child, every time I went with my father to the Sun Church Cathedral in the capital, the priests and knights in the church were very kind.

Even if she made a small mistake or accidentally wandered into a place she shouldn't have, the clergy in the church would usually just laugh it off in the end.

At the time, Valensa thought this was all due to adults' tolerance towards children, or that she herself was too cute as a child to be treated this way.

But if what Tia said is true, and the Badr family are one of their own in the Church of the Sun... that seems more reasonable?

Once I return to the capital, I must visit the Church of the Sun and ask my acquaintances for advice!

Valensa made a decision.

After that, she and Tia didn't talk about anything serious, but chatted casually.

Valensa mainly focused on resting. Even after a deep sleep and Tia's constant praise, her heart had only just recovered from its overdraft and would need more time to fully recover.

Tia also took out the military treatises that Valensa had handwritten and studied them word by word, and would occasionally discuss them with Valensa.

About half an hour later, the previously very stable arcane carriage suddenly jolted, and a crackling sound, like being hit by stones, could be heard outside the carriage.

"What happened?"

Tia quickly put away the military strategy manual, opened the carriage door, and looked outside. Valensa also mustered her spirits, got off the sofa, and took out her sword and shield.

"It's nothing, just a bunch of bumpkins, don't worry, Captain."

Harry, who was sitting on top of the metal container in front, replied with a smile:

"Leave it to us three musketeers."

"A country bumpkin, huh..."

Valensa breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was not completely at ease.

Although the Earth Monkey monster is not found near Sergin Town, it is a common monster, and there is a lot of information about it in the Adventurers' Guild.

The average individual of this monster is very weak, only at the Firefly level.

Most monkey kings are only at the candlelight level, very few reach the pearl level, and there has never been a record of sightings of the lighthouse level.

The only problem is that the Earth Monkeys are social monsters, often hundreds or even thousands of them following a single monkey king, which can be quite threatening to lone adventurers.

This is an earth-attribute monster. It looks like a monkey, has four arms, and can use earth-attribute magic to conjure stones in its hands for smashing.

The crackling sound coming from outside the arcane carriage earlier was from the attack by the earth monkeys.

But now most of these attacks have been blocked, and it was Harry who made the move.

His tactics left Valensa speechless.

When the three musketeers introduced themselves, Valensa saw the three elemental swords that Harry had conjured and thought he would be a magic swordsman.

As it turns out, Harry is just a pure three-attribute elemental mage, but he's very stubborn. He insists on calling what he uses magic swordsmanship.

"Ice Defense Sword!"

He was standing on top of the metal shipping container, holding a wand with a sword hilt, constantly striking completely unnecessary and rather amateurish swordsmanship poses.

Then he unleashed a multi-layered ice shield spell of pearl-level strength, with ice shields the size of washbasins condensing in the air.

The strength of a single ice shield isn't very high; Valensa estimated she could easily shatter it with a flick of her wrist.

However, the Earth Monkey's attack was just throwing stones. Its strength was slightly higher than that of an ordinary person, but it did not reach the average throwing level of a Firefly-level warrior. Using this ice shield for defense was sufficient.

Since Tia and Valensa were told to keep an eye on things, Harry naturally wouldn't just defend without attacking.

After completing the defense of the convoy with multiple ice shields, he quickly cast another spell, accompanied by an unnecessary sword-swinging gesture.

"Wind-Binding Sword!"

It's actually a detection spell from the wind attribute magic, which can sense the enemy's location through air currents, usually in preparation for the next attack spell.

Harry clearly had the same idea. After marking about twenty or so earth monkeys with wind element, he changed his stiff and useless sword-wielding motion again and used his third spell.

"Fire Annihilation Sword!"

The name is also quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), and the effect is actually just a fireball spell, except that the firing rate is quite fast and it can be fired in rapid succession.

The twenty-odd earth monkeys marked by the wind element clearly sensed the danger and abandoned their attack, turning to flee into the depths of the forest, but they could not escape.

"Squeak!"

Amidst screams of agony, most of the earth monkeys marked with wind elemental symbols were hit by fireballs, burning as they fell from the branches, struggling for a few moments before falling still, and even the faint aroma of meat wafting out.

The few lucky ones didn't dare linger and ran away without looking back.

"Is it... over?"

Luca, who had been hiding behind his girlfriend since the start of the battle, finally peeked out:

"This is the first time I've ever seen so many monsters in person... It scared me to death."

"No, this is just the beginning."

Valensa glanced at Luca with disdain, then her expression turned serious, as if she were deliberately trying to scare him:

“The groups of wild monkeys usually number at least several hundred, and they are very vengeful. Harry’s counterattack just now did not show overwhelming deterrence, and they will definitely retaliate again.”

As if to confirm Valensa's words, more squeaks soon came from the depths of the woods, and a large number of agile figures leaped among the branches, quickly surrounding the convoy from three directions.

The situation looked quite frightening; Luca's face turned pale, and he hid behind Asaki again.

Valensa showed no fear on her face, but she gripped her sword and shield tightly, clearly ready for battle.

Only Tia remained relaxed, even smiling as she asked Harry:

"You managed to handle this all by yourself? You must have been quite exhausted from that last wave, right?"

"I……"

Harry was slightly embarrassed.

His combo of switching between three elemental magics was indeed meant to show off in front of the beautiful woman, but it ended up consuming nearly half of his magic power, making things a bit difficult from here on out.

Fortunately, the Three Musketeers of Suri City were not a single person. He quickly looked at Melody, his face showing a fawning expression:

"I remember monkeys are also considered humanoid creatures, right? Then your ability should be very effective..."

"Of course, when I first started practicing swordsmanship, I killed quite a few monkeys."

Melody first puffed out her chest before half-jokingly mocking Harry:

"What's wrong, Harry? You went soft after just one moment of brilliance? What a short-lived man... In that case, you just need to focus on defense from now on. As for these monkeys..."

brush!

The rapier was drawn.

"Let them die in the brilliance!"

Chapter 106 Let it vanish in the brilliance

Melody's body began to move.

Her speed was not fast, and her movements were quite elegant.

It was more like dancing than wielding a sword, truly befitting her title as a sword dancer.

The sword dance was beautiful.

Not only are the poses themselves artistic, but more importantly, Melody has such a great figure that every pose and movement can firmly grab people's attention, making them look at the parts they want to see but shouldn't.

She was wearing a very thin white silk bodysuit, with rhinestones adorning her vital areas. The rhinestones sparkled and shone brightly in the sunlight.

Those gazes drawn to her dance moves and figure will eventually be lost in the dazzling spectacle.

The single loaders from the food association in the convoy couldn't take it anymore. Many of them were even more excited than the local monkeys, their eyes red as if they were about to charge at Melody.

Fortunately, they must have made preparations in advance, as they had all tied themselves firmly to the containers. At this moment, they were like dogs on a leash seeing a bone, desperately lunging forward but unable to reach it.

Luca was equally mesmerized, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

"You're not allowed to look!"

It was Asaki who poked his eye, then covered it tightly again.

Luca clearly wanted to watch more, but he didn't dare disobey his girlfriend, so he could only squat down reluctantly.

Gil and Harry, who grew up with Melody, were probably used to it by now and remained quite calm.

Giru remained in front of the container as the last line of defense, while Harry focused on building an ice shield to defend against the boulders' stone-throwing attacks.

Valensa was naturally impressed by Melodi's hot figure and dance moves, and even couldn't help but exclaim when Melodi struck certain poses:

"so big……"

Seeing Tia glancing at her sideways, she reacted quickly and changed her words:

"Such big and beautiful diamonds, I want to have them set on my dress when I have money."
