Things about the female knight in black stockings

After putting the small golden round rod between her eyebrows and confirming that her faith circuit was completely restored, Valencia jumped out of the deep pit hidden in the pile of bones and rushed back to join Fran and the others.

As expected, the battle on Fran's side has also come to an end.

After the faith circuit was restored, the Paladin's combat power increased greatly, and the undead were no longer opponents.

The big spider and the suture monster Fei Fei have been successfully purified. Among the three lighthouse-level undead, only the zombie wolf king is still lingering, but it is obvious that it cannot last long.

Valenza took a few glances, and instead of competing with Fran and the two paladin team leaders for heads, she and the other four paladins joined in the elimination of the low-level undead.

The blazing holy light criss-crossed in the depths of the mine, the holy light blades destroyed everything, and the holy light bombs bombarded wildly. The undead clearly had a hundred-fold numerical advantage, but they turned into ashes in pieces as if they were surrounded and annihilated.

After about 5 minutes, the battle was basically over. Except for those who pretended to be dead and some scattered resistance, the low-level undead in the mine had been wiped out by the Paladins who had been holding back their anger.

The strongest of the three lighthouse-level undead, the Zombie Wolf King, was first entangled in its limbs by the Holy Light Chain summoned by Fran, and then directly decapitated by another Paladin's charged Holy Light Blade and turned into ashes. .

Afterwards, everyone carefully searched the entire testing ground deep in the mine inside and out. After confirming that there were no new clues, they started to return the same way.

Valenza, as the team leader appointed by Lika in this operation, did not take the initiative to tell the source of the interference, and other paladins would not take the initiative to inquire. This is the operational discipline of keeping intelligence confidential.

Fran, on the other hand, hesitated to speak several times.

Based on her understanding of Valencia, if everything went well with the source of interference, Valencia would definitely have been showing off with her head held high.

Now that he is silent, there is a high probability that something went wrong.

However, considering the friendship between the two of them and the fact that she and Valencia were preparing to officially become a Knight of the Inner Temple in the future, Fran still said nothing, giving Valensa enough face.

After arriving and meeting Lika outside the mine, everyone hurried towards the city they were passing through while Valensa gave a brief oral report to Lika.

"A special device that can interfere with belief circuits?"

Rika was a little surprised by this information and took it very seriously:

"Then you brought the device back after you stopped it?"

"Uh... I think I brought it back."

Valencia sneered and said vaguely:

"But that thing is a bit weird, I'll show it to Sister Lika after we get back to the church."

"..."

Lika squinted her eyes and looked at Valencia, already knowing in her heart that she must have messed up something.

But Rika knew the importance of helping Valenza gain reputation among the paladins. She even brought Valenza here for this purpose, and the source of interference was just an accident.

So Lika didn't say much, just nodded slightly and acquiesced to Valencia's proposal.

The two paladin groups were originally stationed at the local cathedral, and only three people, Valencia, Lika and Fran, returned to the capital through the Holy Road.

"Okay, now that there are no outsiders, can you tell me more specifically what's going on?"

In Lika's office in the Royal Capital Cathedral, she no longer maintained her captain image. She leaned back in the chair casually and put her legs in black stockings on the desk.

"That's right... tell me honestly, what did you mess up, you idiot?"

Fran also cooperated and put her hands on her hips, coquettishly saying to Valencia.

"Hehe... I really can't hide anything from Sister Rika and Fran."

Valencia first acted cute with a very coy look, and then pretended to be aggrieved:

"But you really don't blame me this time. That thing was really evil. I almost died."

After that, she didn't hide anything. She took out the only small piece of crystal remains and told her story about how hundreds of thousands of resentments hit her soul.

"Hundreds of thousands of resentments?"

Rika immediately put her legs on the desk back on the ground and sat upright. Fran also put away her coquettish expression and became very worried.

"Are you okay then?" x2

The two of them rushed to Valencia's side almost at the same time, touched and pinched her to check her body, and used magic to check her soul.

Then both of them had strange expressions.

Not only was nothing wrong with Valencia, her physical changes were not obvious, but her soul had grown a lot, just like a little girl who was originally a flesh and blood suddenly turned into a tall and plump royal sister.

However, it was obviously a good thing that the soul had grown stronger. Lika and Fran soon relaxed and began to study the crystal debris that Valencia brought back.

"This thing... hmm."

Lika placed the crystal fragment in her palm and observed it for a while, then stuck out her tongue and licked it before showing a confident expression:

"It's unmistakable. Although the production method and crystal structure are different, this thing is essentially a soul crystal.

That's why hundreds of thousands of resentments invade your body the moment you come into contact with it, because this thing is made from the compressed souls of hundreds of thousands of tragic deaths.

But now it is pure crystal...the original soul consciousness inside has completely disappeared. "

"Ah this..."

Valencia played with the hair around her ears in embarrassment, and her eyes lit up:

"Wait! Since this thing is a soul crystal and the soul consciousness inside has disappeared, can we read the remaining experience and knowledge in the crystal to find clues? Just like Tia learns magic through the soul crystal of a gray rat The same formation."

"Unfortunately, no."

Lika immediately broke the cold water:

"Didn't I say it before? This kind of soul crystal is different from normal.

For normal soul crystals, during production and post-processing, we will find ways to erase the original soul consciousness in the soul crystal, leaving only experience and knowledge.

This soul crystal is just the opposite. The producer removed most of the souls' memories and only retained their deepest resentment before death.

It is precisely because of this that this soul crystal is quite dangerous. Except for the creator, anyone who comes into direct contact with it will be directly hit by the soul of hundreds of thousands of resentments.

To be honest...even if it were me, I might not be able to survive such a direct blow to the soul. Even if I couldn't die, I would be seriously injured, and I would have to lie down for at least ten and a half days.

Or maybe, that bastard deliberately left this in the testing ground just to plot against me or other masters in the church... Fortunately, you are here this time, Valencia. "

Chapter 197 I don’t want to become a bad woman

"Uh...even you, Sister Lika, are in danger, why am I fine?"

Valencia blinked:

"Is it because I am the daughter of the evil god?"

"Is there any need to say it? That's for sure."

Rika rolled her eyes:

"Even if you have no knowledge of magic, you should still know very well what the cultists like to use as sacrifices when they beg for the power of the evil god or even summon the evil god to come, right?"

"Uh... it's a living person... no, should I say it's a human soul?"

Valencia thought for a while and said.

"Yes, it seems you are not too stupid."

Lika nodded and spread her hands:

"So... to put it bluntly, attacking the soul of an evil god in this way is probably the same as hitting a dog with a steak... This is not considered an attack at all, it can only be called feeding."

"It's not as easy as you said, Sister Lika~~"

Valencia took advantage of the situation and said coquettishly:

"People were really scared at first. They thought they were going to die this time."

"It's normal for you to be scared. After all, you're not entirely an evil god, you're still half human."

Rika smiled:

"But your fear is actually just an illusion, a psychological effect of your being a human... Your evil god instinct must have been very excited at that time. It was like dew after a long drought."

"Uh, okay."

Valencia thought for a while and then said:

"Then if I eat so many souls in one breath, will there be any adverse effects? After all, the resentment of those souls is very deep, so it won't affect my character and turn me into a bad woman, right?"

"Resentment in the soul? Ha, this is indeed very dangerous to others, but you..."

Rika shrugged:

"Humans eat beef, sheep, chicken and duck every day. Are they affected by the cow, sheep, chicken and duck?"

"That's just eating meat, but I'm directly eating souls! Can it be the same?"

Valencia pouted and asked.

"It's nothing different. Don't forget that you are the daughter of the evil god."

Lika took a deep look at Valencia:

"For evil gods, eating souls is like humans eating beef and chicken. There is no need to worry about what cows and chickens think before they die."

"Hehe... It seems like I'm pretty good then."

After fully confirming that her random eating was not only okay but also profitable, Valencia was completely relieved and laughed happily.

"But...your worries are very reasonable."

However, Lika changed the topic again:

"If your body remembers the beauty of devouring souls because of this experience, you may indeed gradually degenerate under your instinctive desires and completely become an evil god."

"Huh? What should we do then, Sister Rika?"

Valencia panicked again.

"It's very simple, practice."

Rika pointed at herself and then at Fran:

"I am a succubus and Fran is a vampire. Although they are not as good as you, an evil god, we can say that we are both existences that feed on humans.

However, I have stopped absorbing human essence for the purpose of eating since hundreds of years ago, and Fran can also completely restrain her blood-sucking impulse. This is all the result of practice.

You must also practice spiritual practice to completely control your appetite to prevent you from falling into the trap of your body's instincts. "

"The practice of controlling appetite..."

Valencia's face suddenly fell.

To her, food is almost as important as a beautiful girl, and asking her to control her appetite is as uncomfortable as quitting sex.

"Don't take it seriously!"

Seeing Valencia looking like she was trying to be cute, Lika instantly became serious:

"This kind of physical instinct has a terrible influence on the character in a subtle way. You don't want to become our enemy one day in the future, right?

Even if you don't care about me and Fran... what about Tia and Melina?You don’t want to wake up one morning and find only a soulless living corpse next to your pillow, right?

If you indulge your body's appetites, these things can happen! "

"Ah... okay, I'll just follow your arrangement, Sister Lika."

Valencia could only nod obediently:

"When should I start practicing? How should I do it specifically? Isn't it going to force me to starve or only eat bread and water?"

That was too painful.

"Are you stupid here?"

As a result, Lika hit Valencia on the head:

"The purpose I asked you to practice is to maintain a normal human diet and control the appetite of evil gods. If you abuse yourself on a normal diet, wouldn't it just give evil gods an opportunity to take advantage of their appetites?

So your practice is not to go hungry and eat bread and drink water, but the opposite... From today on, you should eat big fish and meat for every meal. The more delicious the ingredients, the better, and the more you eat, the better!

Each meal must be completely satiated and eaten well, imprinting that feeling of satisfaction on your body and transforming you into the shape of human good food. "

"Anything like this?"

Valencia's eyes lit up immediately:

"I do it, I do it! Such a great practice, I want to do it now!"

"Hmph, I know you are a snack food... little greedy person!"
