Things about the female knight in black stockings

The second floor of the guild is not the lobby structure of the first floor, but a long corridor and offices, much like the kind of office building where Valencia worked in her previous life.

She was already familiar with the business, she didn't even need to read the house number, she pushed open one of the office doors and hugged the only blond woman in the room, not caring about the strong smell on her body.

"I'm back, Sister Melina~~."

"Well, welcome back, miss."

The blond woman hugged Valencia very gently, her eyes full of endearment, and a sense of relief that she was finally relieved:

"Why have you been gone for so long... I'm almost worried to death! That Liga beast is very cunning. What will I do if something happens to you?"

"Have some confidence in me, Sister Melina, I'm very powerful!"

Valencia quickly waved her fist:

"Don't you know the results of the last test I took? My agility and reaction are already very close to Pearl level!"

"But your strength and stamina are only at the candlelight level, right?"

Melina tapped Valencia’s forehead:

"You must not be lax and complacent... You must know that at your age, Lord Earl is already able to master the family's inherited treasure and advance to the lighthouse level!"

"How can I compete with my father... You also know that he has a family inheritance treasure and has been practicing hard since he was a child. I just started holding a sword three years ago!"

Valencia murmured dissatisfiedly, then smiled:

"But I also have my own opportunities, so I urgently need those 30 gold coins...I should have a powerful trick soon."

"Miss, it's the [Dimension Hardware Store] you've been talking about? Krypton gold can make you stronger, and you've almost saved up for your first big guarantee, right?"

Melina smiled:

"To be honest, if I hadn't always seen your changes in the past three years, Miss, I would have found it hard to believe that there is such a magical place in the world."

"Because only people with special luck can go in there~~"

Valensa rubbed Melina's body twice like a baby before taking out a huge cloth bag from the storage magic bag on her waist:

"Here, the head of the Liga beast is inside. Sister Melina, please settle it quickly. I can't wait to draw the big guarantee."

"That's easy to say."

Melina pushed the bag aside without even looking at it, counted 30 gold coins from the desk drawer and handed it to Valencia:

"I've already prepared the formalities, and I'm just waiting for you to come back... Miss, are you going to that place now?"

"I would like to go immediately..."

While Valencia put the gold coins away happily, she lowered her head in embarrassment and pulled up her clothes and black stockings:

"But I'm afraid I can't do it without taking a shower and changing clothes first. The smell is too strong."

"So, Miss, you also know that the smell on your body is very strong now!"

Melina finally puffed up her face with dissatisfaction and waved her hand in disgust:

"Go quickly."

Chapter 3: She is a female knight and also a destitute young lady.

Valencia will be called the eldest lady by everyone, not just because of her beauty and good figure.

Her full name is Valencia Bader. She was once the eldest lady of the earl family, and she still retains her aristocratic status.

More than ten years before she was reincarnated into this world, as an aristocratic lady living in the royal capital, Valensa certainly experienced the luxurious upper class life.

Perhaps they did not expect a girl to inherit the family business. After giving birth to Valencia and Elena, Count Bader and his wife still did not stop making people and wanted to give them another brother.

Valencia, who had memories of being a worker in her previous life, was also very happy. She took her sister to play wildly every day, enjoying the beautiful aristocratic life in this other world.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. When Valencia was 13 years old, her family situation suffered a huge change.

The specific details of the incident are still unclear to Valencia, but the official version is that it was a cult attack.

Count Bader, a star-level knight, was killed on the spot during the attack. Even the family's inherited treasures passed down from generation to generation were shattered. Valencia's mother and sister were also missing.

Even with the memory of two lifetimes, Valensa was completely stunned when she heard such tragic news.

But after all, she was not a real little girl, so she calmed down quickly and seriously thought about her situation and future.

Maybe it was because she had watched too many TV dramas about the scheming wealthy families in her previous life, maybe she had delusions of being persecuted, or maybe she just had a keen intuition... In short, Valencia always felt that many people were plotting against her.

Those relatives and elders seemed to be amiable, but in fact they were probably doing it for her right to inherit the title.

The more Valencia thought about it at that time, the more frightened she became. Various strange cartoons she had read in her previous life kept flashing through her mind, but the heroines in the paintings became herself.

What will happen to a 13-year-old girl who has lost the protection of her parents but has the right to inherit an earl?

If you are lucky, you will be reduced to a puppet and a marriage tool, arranged by your elders to marry someone you don't like, and then live in obscurity for the rest of your life.

If you are not lucky enough, you will probably be a social butterfly and a toy of the upper class. Everything from your body to your wealth will be completely divided up by the wolf-like nobles.

In order to avoid these futures that were too tragic for time travellers, Valencia, who was only 13 years old at the time, made a decision that is still unbelievable when mentioned by the nobles of the royal capital.

Through negotiations, she obtained commitments from the French royal family and other members of the Badr family under the witness of the church at the cost of giving up her right to inherit the title and a high pension.

Only the most basic aristocratic treatment is retained, and no one is allowed to interfere with her choice for the future.

Although this incident caused a lot of heated discussion at the time, many people thought Valencia was crazy.

But as the heroic orphan who fought against the cultists, this choice is indeed Valencia's right.

After that, Valencia left the royal capital, taking only Melina as a personal maid, and came to live in the town of Serkin on the border of the kingdom.

Of course, they are nominally personal maids, but in fact the two grew up together. Melina is more like a dependent sister to Valencia.

Moreover, as a maid who was born in the Earl's family of the Imperial City, although Melina has little fighting ability, her ability in document processing and administrative arrangements is overwhelming in Serkin Town. She easily got the job of being the director of the Adventurer's Guild. Her salary The dormitories and staff dormitories have also provided the two women with a living guarantee for the past three years.

The salary and benefits of the director of the local adventurers guild are not low. It is supposed to be enough for Valensa and Melina to live well in the border town. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of France has special laws.

Due to the year-round war with the Desolate Beast Tribe in the northern Desolate Ridge, the population problem has always been the biggest problem in the Kingdom of France.

In order to promote population, all boys and girls in the kingdom who cannot prove that they have sufficient talents before reaching adulthood will be dragged into forcible marriage and childbirth, and no refusal is allowed.

Melina can rely on her outstanding clerical and administrative skills to avoid special laws, but Valencia, who has always been a flower vase lady before, does not have this ability.

In the days when she first arrived in Serkin Town, she had a lot of headaches about this matter. It wasn't until she accidentally entered a magical place - [Dimension Hardware Store] while chasing a cat that things turned around.

It was a magical little store outside the world, a bit like the mobile game mall in her previous life. You could buy blind boxes with krypton gold and get various random props like drawing cards.

For example, the one-handed long sword that Valencia used to kill the Lega Beast was produced by the Dimension Hardware Store and is a purple-level rare item.

Although this long sword has a simple shape, it is more like a product of a science fiction world than this other world of swords and magic.

There is no special ability, but the alloy used for forging is relatively special and the craftsmanship is sophisticated, making the long sword not only very light but also as strong and sharp as those high-quality enchanted weapons.

Of course, the buckler that helped Valenza complete the sliding tackle and make key attacks was also a rare purple prop produced by the Dimension Hardware Store.

Except for the fact that there is no golden five-pointed star on the surface, this round shield is very similar to the shield of a certain classic superhero in Valencia's previous life movie, and it also has a similar special ability.

Rebound recovery: As long as the shield completes two bounces after being thrown, it will definitely bounce back into your hand.

In addition to the long sword and buckler, Valencia has also obtained many other rare items in the past three years.

It's a pity that she can't use most of those props. In order to turn the resources into strength as quickly as possible, she can only sell most of the props into gold coins, and then go to the [Dimension Hardware Store] to earn gold.

It is through this method that Valencia has now become a candlelight-level female knight. She no longer has to rely solely on Melina's salary, but can also earn gold coins from commissions.

Not only that, after three years of hard work, Valencia has drawn close to [-] times, and she can immediately trigger the guarantee and get a golden legendary quality item.

Valencia is looking forward to it because she urgently needs to further improve her strength to participate in the Zhanzheng Academy enrollment assessment that will start in less than two months.

Only by entering the Zhan Zhan Academy can she completely avoid being caught by special laws to get married and have children.

"Da?~~Da da da da?~~Da da?~~"

After taking a comfortable bath in Melina's staff dormitory and putting on a clean set of light armor, a short inner skirt and black stockings, Valensa hummed and opened the door.

Next, she will go to [Dimension Hardware Store], that magical place outside the world, and use the 30 gold coins she just got to draw cards five times to get her first golden quality guarantee.

"This...emmm..."

The other dirty clothes she had changed out before could be washed directly, but the black stockings that had a strong smell after being worn for three days made her hesitate.

It's impossible to sell it to a pervert for money, but this black silk stocking does have other uses.

Chapter 4 Wow, golden legend!

"Forget it, after getting the big guarantee, let's go to the lake."

After thinking for a while, Valencia still didn’t wash off the black stockings that had a strong smell. Instead, she wrapped them in paper and put them away carefully:

"Although I still can't stand the taste of that thing, Sister Melina loves to eat it, so just think of it as a reward for her."

After bathing and changing clothes, the knight girl quickly ran from the fifth floor where the staff dormitory was to the first floor. She greeted the adventurers in the hall with a smile, and ran out with the scent of shower gel.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and many residents of Serkin Town have gained the smiles of beautiful girls today.

"Huh, it's here."

Valencia ran briskly while greeting acquaintances in the town, and soon she arrived at a big tree in a remote place in the northwest corner of the town.

This big tree is said to be hundreds of years old and has lush branches. Only one branch about three meters above the ground has obvious signs of being broken.

Three years ago, when Valencia was chasing a cat here, she accidentally broke a branch and fell into the gap between the worlds - that magical place called [Dimensional Hardware Store].

Now she will enter again from here.

Following the steps that had been done countless times, Valencia first ran counterclockwise around the big tree three times, then climbed to the broken branch and jumped out with her butt facing down.

Amidst the whirring of the air, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, from a small summer town with sunny weather to a strange space dominated by purple. The big tree also turned into a small wooden house with five large characters on the door.

Dimension Hardware Store.

When she first came, Valencia said it was impossible not to be scared, but now she is a regular customer.

dong dong dong.

"Boss, I'm coming in."

She knocked on the door a few times, then pushed it open and entered.

"Welcome, Miss Valencia."

A calm electronic synthesized sound sounded from behind the door, coming from a rather strange-looking machine.

Below it is a chassis in crawler mode, which can move flexibly forward, backward, left, and right. It has eight tentacle-like robotic arms, but its head is very similar to the large square monitor that Valencia used to have in her previous life.

"Boss, I want krypton gold!"

Jingle.

Valencia said as she took out 30 gold coins and put them on the counter, getting straight to the point.

In the past, she might have chatted with the store owner who was suspected of being an advanced AI, but this time she obviously couldn't wait because of the big guarantee she was about to get.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage."

The shop owner quickly used a mechanical arm to suck in all the gold coins, and took out 5 identical small boxes and placed them on the table.

"...Let me confirm first."

Valencia swallowed as she looked at the five small boxes. She did not open them immediately, but looked at the store owner's square monitor-like head seriously:

"The number of blind boxes I have purchased in total has reached 100. The big guarantee you mentioned before should be among these 5 blind boxes, right?"

"Is such that."

The store owner still had the same electronic synthesized voice, but this time he obviously had a smile:

"Not only that, after getting the big guarantee, it also proves that Miss Valencia you have membership...I will issue you a membership certificate later and explain to you the upgraded services you can enjoy after becoming a member."

"membership?"

Valencia raised her eyebrows:

"How come I haven't heard of it before? Can you become a member only if you have a big guarantee? Is it some kind of test here?"

"You can think so."

The store owner did not deny:

"There are countless travelers in the endless void, and of course you are not the only customer of [Dimensional Hardware Store]. But not all customers can draw a big guarantee like you, because not every customer can Every traveler’s journey to another world is smooth sailing.”
