Things about the female knight in black stockings

Chapter 20 The eldest lady’s business is booming

This afternoon, Valencia had just completed a mission to defeat the Demon Scale Boar. She was about to go back to her room to take a shower and change her clothes. She was going to have dinner with Melina when she discovered that the Adventurer's Guild Hall was usually very busy. Today it's even more noisy.

Could it be that something happened again?

Valencia quickly walked into the hall worriedly and took a look, and found that there were indeed many faces in the hall that were rarely seen, all dressed as farmers.

This situation...could it be...

Valencia's heart moved, and she probably guessed something.

At this time, many farmers who were discussing with the adventurers also discovered the female knight in black stockings who had returned. Her beautiful and hot figure made almost everyone's eyes light up.

The farmers who were idle immediately gathered around Valencia, and even several farmers who were in the middle of discussions lost sight of the target of the conversation.

The adventurers who were suddenly robbed of their business were quite angry at first, but they became helpless after finding out that Valencia had robbed them of their business.

"The eldest lady is back? Did the mission of conquering the monster go well?"

A farmer uncle who was the first to rush to Valencia said with a smile:

"Isn't it obviously cooler these days than the previous days? Because this month is the last month of summer, autumn is coming soon, and it is the harvest season... This year some of the more ferocious crops will have to be harvested again. Miss, you are here."

"I know, I know...it's the Crunch Flower, right?"

Valencia, who had guessed this situation, also smiled sweetly and even licked the corners of her mouth:

"I haven't eaten that for a long time. I feel really missed... Don't worry, everyone. As long as I, Valencia, can still wield the sword, I will not refuse any commission I can accept!"

"Good!"

Several farmers who came a little late were surprised and even couldn't help but whistle.

The adventurers who had been rejected by the clients they were about to negotiate with in the distance had even more helpless expressions, looking at each other with hands spread out and shrugging.

There's no way around it. Valensa has a huge advantage in every aspect of this wave of commissions. Others won't have a chance until she completely takes over all the commissions.

Valencia, who was surrounded by farmers, quickly called Qili and Lulu, and asked them to help these farmers handle the commissions according to the process, on a first-come, first-served basis.

As Valencia guessed with a smile before, these farmers came to the Adventurer's Guild to issue commissions for a crop called crunching flowers.

Whether this crop is considered a plant or an animal is still a topic of debate among scholars, because it not only has the root, stem, and leaf systems of plants, but also the mouths and digestive systems of animals.

Its general appearance is similar to that of a sunflower, except that the plant is larger and has more vines. In the middle of each flower, there is a mouth as big as a bowl, and the mouth is full of fangs.

It is called the crunching flower because it preys on rats and hares in the farmland, and occasionally eats unlucky birds, making a crunching sound when chewing its food.

Of course, this ferocious crop can also bite people, and most farmers are no match for it. Once it is completely dragged into the flowers, it may even be life-threatening.

Fortunately, the crunching flower is relatively safe most of the time when it is not blooming. However, during the harvest season in late summer and early autumn, it becomes extremely ferocious. Ordinary farmers are unable to harvest it themselves and can only entrust adventurers to do so.

This will undoubtedly be troublesome and expensive, but there are still many farmers willing to grow this crop.

Because the fruits of the crunch flower are quite special... Just as there are still debates among scholars about whether it is a plant or an animal, there are also different opinions on whether its fruits are considered fruits or meat.

Of course, Valensa has also eaten crunchy flower fruit. Its texture is very similar to a mixture of meat floss and wheat flour, which easily reminds her of one of her favorite snacks in her previous life - meat floss pancakes.

Not only does it taste great, but the fruits of Crunch Flower are also rich in nutrients. The effect is comparable to the military compressed biscuits of Valencia's previous life. One egg-sized one can keep even the most hungry young adults from going hungry for two days.

Therefore, the fruits of the crunching flower are still high-quality military food. No matter how much the output is, the French military will buy it at a reasonable price. There is no need to worry about the market. Therefore, farmers are willing to plant it even though they are aware of the danger.

Precisely because it is military rations, the crunchy flower fruits are not circulated in the market at all, and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they spend money.

However, there is no problem in using crunchy flower fruits as rewards for adventurers to help harvest. Many adventurers also like the texture and taste of crunchy flowers, and they hit it off with the farmers.

Just when harvesting the fruits of the crunching flower, in addition to being careful not to be bitten by the flowers, you must also be careful not to damage the branches and stems of the crunching flower.

Once the branches of the crunching flower are injured by weapons, they will bleed like animals. If they lose too much blood, they will wither and die.

Therefore, if you want to pick the fruits of the crunching flower, the adventurer needs to be precise with his swordsmanship and be able to cut only the fruits without damaging the branches and stems.

Valencia, who has high agility and precise swordsmanship, has an advantage in this aspect, and her beautiful face and figure will give her extra points.

Think about it, wouldn't it be very enjoyable to watch the voluptuous female knight swinging her sword like a dance while drinking barley tea and taking a break in the fields in late summer, which is getting cooler?

If the female knight accidentally makes a mistake and is bitten by the crunching flower, causing damage to her clothes, it will be an even better surprise.

Of course, warriors above the firefly level can easily break free of the Crunchy Flower with their strength. Even if they make a mistake, there will be no danger. At most, they will only suffer some skin trauma.

In fact, when Valencia first became an adventurer, she made a mistake while harvesting crunching flowers. Several holes were bitten out of the black silk on her legs, but her battle-damaged figure was even more alluring. To this day, It is still a favorite legend among the farmers of the town of Serguin.

This is also the reason why the farmers now want to send a commission to Valencia. Many of them know that this approachable and beautiful lady is going to the Zhan Zhan College this year, and it is likely to be difficult to see her again in the future. They want to have a good time before leaving. Admire that hot figure.

It just so happened that Valencia herself liked eating crunchy flower fruits, and she even planned to reserve a certain amount of fruits as portable dry food, so she accepted the commissions as she could, and would not refuse anyone who came as long as she had time.

That day, she and Qili Lulu were busy until almost 10 o'clock in the evening, sorting out the orders issued by the farmers and arranging them in order.

For four consecutive days starting from tomorrow, Valencia will be a farmer, sweating in the fields from morning to night.

"Miss, you are really popular."

Lulu organized the last power of attorney and moved her aching wrists.

"Hmph, those men, do they really think I don't know what they are thinking?"

Valencia put her hands on her hips and hummed:

"Aren't you just greedy for my body and want to see me entangled in vines and bitten by flowers?"

Chapter 21 Want to be beautiful but still be afraid of cold and heat?

"Because, Miss, you are indeed very beautiful. There is no one more beautiful than you in the entire Sejin Town."

Qi Li took the words with a smile and touched Valencia's black stockings naturally, not hiding her envy at all:

"Especially this... no matter where you go, you can attract the attention of most people. Even those who pretend to be serious will peek out of the corner of their eyes. I have personally seen people passing by because they peeked at the big Miss, you hit a tree."

"If you're envious, why don't you wear them too? There are also very cheap socks like this. With the salary you two earn, it's definitely no problem."

Seeing that Lulu had the same expression next to her, Valencia reached out her hand unceremoniously and made several gestures on their legs as if measuring:

"Your legs are actually in good shape. If you wear black stockings to decorate them, it will definitely double your attractiveness."

"Well...actually, we also imitated what you, Miss, wore."

Qili and Lulu looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shrugged:

"But we don't have the physique of a candlelight-level warrior like you, Miss. You are very afraid of heat... It's really unbearable to cover your legs so tightly in this weather. We'd better wait until it gets cooler."

"But……"

Valencia blinked:

"When the weather really cools down, wouldn't it be too cold to wear a short skirt with your body type? If you don't wear a short skirt, your black stockings won't show off no matter how beautiful you are... It's certainly courageous to be beautiful and cold, but I don't recommend it... ... Then you will easily get knee pain when you get older."

"Ah... that's right." x2

The two girls, who wanted to be beautiful but were afraid of heat and cold, became frustrated together.

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

Seeing this, Valencia smiled and comforted them:

"Wrapped in black silk, it can indeed make your legs look more beautiful and attractive, but there are also many people who like natural legs without decoration. You are also very cute, so be more confident... In fact, many young adventurers are right You two have a crush on each other."

"Tch, those men? There aren't many reliable ones!"

As a result, Valencia's words made the two girls even more resentful, and Lulu even puffed up her face:

"Just two days ago, that shy guy Kalilak finally plucked up the courage to ask me out. I wanted to give him a chance, but I found that he clearly looked like he wanted to pursue me, but his eyes still kept stealing from me from time to time. One glance at the eldest lady's legs... made me so angry that I scolded him away on the spot!"

"Ah this..."

Valencia was dumbfounded, she didn't notice such a thing at all.

It would be too fake to comfort people like before, so she could only change her mind:

"Actually, there is really no need for you two to worry... You should also know that I plan to return to the capital to attend the Zhan Zhan Academy, right? When I leave, won't the eyes of the men in Serjin Town still return to your skirts? "

"...Actually, we don't want you to leave, Miss!"

Unexpectedly, when this topic came up, Qili and Lulu became even more sad, their eyes were red, and Lulu even couldn't help but grab Valencia's arm:

"It doesn't matter if no man ever falls in love with us. We can't bear to leave you, Miss."

"This...if it's possible, I actually don't want to leave."

Valencia's emotions were also infected... After living in Serkin Town for three years, she has long regarded this place as her second home, saying that it is impossible not to have feelings.

"But you should also know the kingdom's laws, right?"

Valencia smiled bitterly and said:

"Although I can enjoy more as a noble, I also have more responsibilities and obligations... The status of a candlelight-level adventurer is enough for civilians, but not for nobles.

If I don't go to the War College, I will most likely be forced to marry a noble man when I reach adulthood, fulfilling my obligation to give birth to outstanding blood for the kingdom... You don't want to see that either, right? "

"Of course I don't want to!" x2

Qili and Lulu nodded together, Qili even waved her fist:

"A great woman like you, Miss, shouldn't take advantage of those stinky men! You should be so cool all your life, so that those stinky men can't see or touch you! You are so greedy for them!"

"Yes, I'm so greedy for them!"

Lulu echoed again and again, grabbing Valencia's hand and couldn't help but squeeze it:

"Then... Miss, will you come back in the future? We will miss you very much."

"I'll definitely come back, don't worry."

Valencia smiled softly:

"I still like this town very much, and I have long thought about coming back to settle down after retirement, just like Uncle Lambert does now. Even when I was at the War College, I might come back to visit during the holidays."

"Yeah! Awesome!"

Snapped.

Lulu and Qili couldn't help but high-five each other.

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect you to suddenly say this today. In fact, there are still more than ten days before the Zhan Zhan Academy's admissions assessment begins."

Valencia smiled and shook her head:

"But...since you two are so reluctant to leave me, how about we go to the tavern for a drink in a few days after I finish all the Crunch Flower entrustments? Of course, I'll treat you."

Naturally, Qili and Lulu would not refuse, and they both happily agreed.

It was almost 11 o'clock at night. After a busy day, the three girls couldn't help but feel tired. They said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

At dawn the next day, Valencia got up and took a shower.

Because she would be doing farm work in the fields for the next few days and there would be no danger, she no longer wore those metal armors or those gorgeous aristocratic dresses, and dressed more simply.

Of course, this simplicity is also relative... With Valencia's figure, temperament and beauty, she can't hide her charm even if she only wears a piece of linen cloth. What's more, no matter how she changes her clothes, short skirts and black stockings are fixed. The combination will not change.

On the contrary, it was her fresh and rare appearance that attracted more attention to her.

Fortunately, Valencia has been a beautiful woman since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. After calmly greeting the first client, she started to work.

This family doesn't grow many crunching flowers, about less than an acre of land. With Valencia's skill, she should be able to take another order before lunch.

She held a long sword and carried a basket on her back. She briefly observed the field and planned the harvesting path, then lifted up her long beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings under her short skirt and took a step forward.

Hiss~~swish~~crunch~~

As a half-animal, half-plant existence, the Crunchflower is also intelligent... They recognized Valencia, the person who harvested their fruits last year, and they immediately began to show their teeth and claws.

The bowl-sized mouths on the flowers are grinding their teeth, and the vines below the flowers are also waiting, as if Valencia dares to get close enough to wrap her up and eat her.

"Huh, stupid plant."

In response, Valencia just smiled contemptuously, flicked her wrist, and drew the light of her sword.

brush!

Chapter 22 Who are you?

The sword light passed lightly through the waving flowers and vines, and accurately hit the thin stem connected to the branch above the fruit, cutting it off.

Then the sword was reversed and lifted upwards, and the crunchy flower fruit the size of an egg was lifted into the air by the wide side of the sword. After drawing a parabola, it just fell into the basket on Valencia's back.
