The story of the black silk female knight

"Hmph, what an idiot..."

Tia muttered something under her breath, but quickly tossed the purple magic card to Valensa:

"It's just the ability to fly, right? You can have that too. Shoot it down!"

"okay."

Valensa reached out and caught the purple magic card, kissed it lightly, and then tucked it into her armor through her collar to activate it.

puff!

Immediately, a stream of air shot out from under Valensa's skirt, propelling her into the air like a rocket.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Valencia was initially surprised and a little unaccustomed to it, but she quickly discovered that the air jets under the skirt were much more useful than wings.

Just as her jet plane in her previous life was definitely faster than a glider, her current flight speed is also much higher than that of the Black Queen.

In aerial combat, the side with higher speed usually has a greater advantage.

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

Using her alloy longsword and round shield, Valensa fought the Black Queen for several rounds before seizing an opportunity to ride directly onto the Black Queen in mid-air.

Chapter 142 Who exactly is shameless?

The Black Queen made various movements in the air, trying to throw Valensa off her back, but all her struggles were in vain.

Those long, black-stockinged legs gripped its waist like iron clamps, the alloy longsword kept piercing its body, and the round shield kept smashing against its head.

The Black Queen could no longer hold on and fell from the sky. Valensa continued to finish her off and deal continuous damage while pinning her to the ground until she could no longer move.

Ding dong.

Just as the black Queen was defeated, the sound of passing the trial echoed within the chessboard space.

Before Valensa could even celebrate with Tia, the two women were simultaneously enveloped in arcane light and instantly returned to the outside of the trial room.

Valensa and Tia exchanged a glance and quickly checked their respective scrolls, only to find that their points had increased from 0 to 1.5.

"Great!"

The two women then high-fived to celebrate the completion of a trial.

"I really didn't expect this..."

After a brief moment of joy, Tia sighed again:

"A trial room with only 3 points is this difficult? It seems I was too proud of my reputation as a genius girl and underestimated this recruitment assessment."

"Is it difficult? I don't think it's that difficult..."

Valensa, reflecting on her recent experience, paused for a moment:

"This trial is less difficult and more of a trap... The combined Black Queen is only at the level of an ordinary Pearl-level flying monster. Harry should be able to blast it away with magic."

But that chess game is such a trap... Who would have thought that you have to win the battle before you can capture a piece? And the idea of ​​personally jumping down to become a piece in the battle is probably something very few people would have thought of, which is why no one has been able to pass this trial room until just now.

Those who challenged us before us were most likely left frustrated and angry.

"Hmm...Yeah, that trial was a total rip-off. It was supposed to be a puzzle-solving trial, but in the end, we still had to solve the problem through combat...The person who designed this trial was really wicked."

Tia huffed and complained a couple of times, then looked a little worried:

"Since we arrived so late, are all the remaining trials going to be this kind of really difficult ones?"

"This……"

Valensa's smile also seemed somewhat stiff:

"I hope not... Anyway, it's always good to think things through more. Tia, you're so smart, you'll definitely be fine."

"No, you're not getting away with slacking off this time!"

Tia immediately rolled her eyes at Valensa:

"My strength lies in reasoning and analysis within certain conditions, while you are clearly better at thinking in a free-flowing, mind-blowing way."

"Oh, no, no... I'm just prone to overthinking. When it really comes to solving problems with wisdom, you're the one to rely on, Tia~"

Valensa immediately grabbed Tia's arm and began praising her:

"Strict reasoning and analytical skills are the foundation. As for imagination... well, with a little more development from me, you'll be able to develop it quickly... oh!"

"Idiot! Can't you be serious for once? What's with all this 'development' stuff... You shameless bastard!"

Tia blushed and pinched Valensa's waist hard.

"I was talking about the development strategy, Tia, what are you thinking?"

Valensa pretended to be pinched in pain, but her eyes were full of teasing:

"They keep saying I'm shameless, but who's really shameless?"

"...Damn it, don't you dare run away, I'll bite you to death! I'm going to eat you up!"

"Then come and chase me, Tia... If you catch me, you can eat me however you want~~"

There were no traps or monsters outside the trial room, so the two girls gradually calmed down by playing around and continued to look for the next suitable trial room.

"What do you think of this, Tia?"

Valensa stopped in front of the door of a trial room that resembled some kind of creature's nest:

"A combat-focused trial, 2 points... Although the points are a bit low, the monsters inside probably won't be too strong. Shall we clear it out first?"

"A combat trial worth 2 points, huh...?"

Tia frowned:

"These trial rooms are usually very cost-effective and are always a favorite among elite soldiers. How come there are still some left? Could it be another trap?"

"Who knows..."

Valensa shrugged and pointed around:

"Maybe this room is just in a hidden corner and hasn't been discovered yet? Actually, it's not a big deal if it is a trap. We've already overcome the 3-point traps, so what's a 2-point one?"

"Hmm... okay then."

Tia finally nodded:

"Just like that puzzle-solving trial tricked me, if this combat trial has any traps, it'll definitely be for you... If you're not afraid, then I'll go in and play with you."

"Walk."

Seeing that Tia agreed, Valensa immediately pushed open the door to the trial room, waiting for the arcane light to appear and suck her and Tia in.

However, they waited for two or three minutes without any arcane fluctuations appearing; only the wide-open circular doorway seemed to be silently mocking them, like a gaping mouth.

Haha, you fool.

"This trial room doesn't use spatial expansion technology?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow in surprise, then looked around again:

"No, it must have used that technology... This hole seems to have no end, and there are so many rooms around it. It would be impossible without spatial expansion technology."

Valensa opened her magical storage bag and rummaged through it. She quickly took out a piece of dry bread and threw it into the cave behind the trial room door.

With the force Valensa used to throw it, the dry bread should have been thrown at least ten meters away, but it only flew forward less than half a meter before mysteriously disappearing, as if it had been sucked into an invisible black hole.

"As expected, I knew it... Hmph."

Valensa chuckled smugly, hands on her hips, before reaching out to pull Tia's hand:

"Be careful, the entrance to the small expansion space should be just ahead."

The two women held hands and slowly walked towards the place where the dry bread had disappeared, but when they arrived, they did not feel the strange suction they had imagined. Instead, they both stepped into empty air at the same time.

"Wow wow wow..."

Valensa let out an exaggerated scream and took the opportunity to hug Tia tightly, falling down into the darkness with her.

After falling for about twenty seconds, the two women landed on a rather soft surface. Valensa even bounced slightly upwards after landing on her bottom.

This place was clearly arranged by the trial designers. Although the surrounding area was all earthen caves, there was a white cushion with a texture that looked like jelly where Valensa and the others fell.

"Hmm, the designer of this trial does have some conscience after all..."

Valensa seemed quite pleased with the presence of the cushion. As she patted her bottom and got up, she carefully surveyed her surroundings.

"This cave... looks like a snake pit?"

Chapter 143 I absolutely will not help you cure that poison.

"It looks to me like a cave of snake-like monsters."

Tia nodded.

Unlike Valencia's relaxed demeanor, her expression was somewhat serious:

"The trial score is only 2, which means that the monsters here are not very strong, at most they are Pearl-level."

Snake-type monsters known for their size, strength, or magic are mostly at the Lighthouse level or higher, while the vast majority of Pearl-level snake-type monsters rely on poison to fight.

We didn't bring many antidotes, so we have to be extra careful.

"A snake-like monster that uses poison as its main fighting method... Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."

Valensa, however, remained unconcerned and seemed very confident.

Her confidence was not unfounded.

Valensa discovered this when she was fighting Belloc's sleeping powder; her mental powers could also strengthen the body's immune system, producing antibodies against various toxins or drugs in the body.

There certainly wouldn't be any particularly deadly toxins in the trial maze, and as long as it wasn't a lethal poison, Valensa was confident she could use her mental powers to generate antibodies to resist snake venom.

That's why she's so confident:

"If it's really just a small venomous snake, then it's too easy for me... This trial is practically a freebie for us."

You should really pay attention.

Tia quickly recalled Valencia's performance against the sleeping powder and roughly guessed why Valencia was so confident, but still rolled her eyes at her:

"When I found out in the last room that the trial was a strategy game, I had the same mindset. And what happened? I almost failed miserably. Don't make the same mistake as me."

"I know, I understand."

Valensa waved her hand dismissively, then drew her sword and shield, cautiously standing in front of Tia as they walked deeper into the cave.

"You idiot... I'll make fun of you when you get bitten by a snake, hmph!"

Tia stomped her white-stockinged feet in annoyance and followed after them.

The two women walked along the snake's nest for about ten minutes before finally seeing what looked like a trial activation mechanism.

It was a soup pot fixed to the fire with an iron frame. Inside the pot was a steaming bowl of fresh soup, and you could see bamboo shoots, eggs, matsutake mushrooms and some meat in the broth.

There were no signs of other human activity around the soup pot, which made it seem very strange in this snake cave. That's why Valensa suspected that the soup pot was the trigger mechanism for the trial.

"Aren't you a Gold-level Chef of the Culinary Association? Go and see what's wrong with that pot of soup."

Tia urged Valensa on, then twitched her nose:

"This soup smells pretty good... If it's alright, shall we have some?"

"If you want some, I'll make it for you after the assessment. Even if it smells delicious, it's best not to try food of dubious origin. Besides..."

Valensa walked over to the soup pot, closed her eyes, and carefully smelled it:

"This soup isn't truly finished yet; it's still missing some seasoning... Perhaps finishing it is the right way to activate the trial mechanism."

After smelling the soup and thinking for about five or six minutes, Valensa, based on her cooking experience from both lifetimes, took out two small bottles of spices from her magical storage pouch and put some into the soup pot.

"what?"

Soon, even Tia, who knew nothing about cooking, could smell that the aroma of the soup seemed to be much stronger than before.

Slurp~~

Suddenly, a crack the size of a bowl appeared above the soup pot, and a straw as thick as a girl's wrist quickly emerged from the crack, sucking hard at the soup in the pot.
