Things about the female knight in black stockings

"It doesn't matter if the reward is low, as long as the goal is to defeat the goblins... My main purpose is to conduct an experiment, and I come here to accept the mission so that I can find the place where the goblins nest as quickly as possible."

"So that's how it is..."

The lady at the counter nodded, didn't ask any more questions, rummaged through the pile of files for a while, pulled out one and handed it to Valencia:

"There is really no mission to defeat goblins... Goblins are very weak after all. Many goblin lairs can be destroyed by a few strong farmers armed with weapons, without hiring adventurers at all.

The only mission related to goblins at the moment is this one. Do you think you’d like to take it? "

"Let me see……"

Valencia took over the mission file and browsed it quickly.

Well, an investigation mission related to goblins.

Investigate the recent strange behavior of goblins near a small village called Kasai Village, about 60 kilometers east of the royal capital.

What strange behavior can goblins do?

Isn't it just that the more people bully the less people to grab some food and clothes?Could it be that, like in those strange games and comics in previous lives, they started to capture human women to reproduce?

Valencia thought about it for a few seconds, then smiled and shook her head.

Maybe he is overthinking it. Goblins are just goblins after all. Even the strongest mutated individuals will not exceed the candlelight level. There is no need to worry at all.

The reward for this investigation task is only 1 gold coin and the classification of novice tasks is enough to prove that the task itself is not difficult.

"That's it."

Anyway, there was no choice. Valencia quickly went through the formalities and officially took over the task.

We also obtained more detailed relevant information.

Then she felt like she had been cheated... 1 gold coin was already a good reward for a novice adventurer, but there was a reason why no one took up the mission.

The reason had nothing to do with the goblins, but the Kasai Village.

The geographical location of this village is somewhat special. It is surrounded by swamps with harsh conditions, making it inconvenient to enter and exit.

But in the center of the swamp, near Kasai Village, there is a large area of ​​very special soil, which is very suitable for growing a particularly sweet and delicious melon.

This kind of small melon is deeply loved by the nobles of the royal capital and is expensive. Growing melons is naturally quite profitable.

Therefore, even though the environment is relatively difficult and there are few opportunities to leave the village throughout the year, there are still many melon farmers in Kasai Village.

"Swamp..."

Valencia looked at her boots and black stockings and sighed.

The strongest monster in that swamp was only candlelight-level and posed no threat to her. She just didn't want to get her boots and black stockings dirty.

But I’ve accepted all the tasks, so I’d better go take a look.

Perhaps she was favored by the sun goddess again. Valencia was lucky this time.

As soon as she arrived near the swamp after leaving the royal capital, she encountered a caravan from the Nora Chamber of Commerce.

The destination of this caravan is also Kasai Village, where they will sell various daily necessities to local villagers and purchase those small melons. They are a caravan that often does business with Kasai Village.

Therefore, the caravan had a good idea of ​​how to cross the swamp.

They did not use horse-drawn carriages or dokos to pull goods, but used a large toad about the size of an elephant as a means of transportation.

The transportation efficiency of this kind of giant toad on the official road is definitely not as good as that of horse-drawn carriages and doko beasts, but in the swamp it is like a fish in water.

Valencia briefly negotiated with the caravan leader, and obtained a large toad as a means of transportation on the condition of providing force protection and holy light treatment.

However, when she entered the small tent on the back of the big toad, she found that there were already two people in the tent, both of whom she knew.

One of them is a girl with a well-proportioned figure and a slightly cold face. She is wearing a Hanfu with large wide sleeves. She has white stockings on her slender calves. There is also a small medicine box at her feet. She has not been there for a while. Yes, Miss Suzuran, the former school nurse.

The other girl was wearing the uniform of the Logistics Department of the War College. Naturally, she was Lovely who had liked Miss Suzuran when she was still a man, and was still attacking Miss Suzuran fiercely.

"Huh?" x3

When the two sides met, they were both surprised and wide-eyed.

"Why are you (you) here?"

Chapter 209 The female knight chooses to eat first

After the surprise, it was natural to exchange information.

Valencia would definitely not say that she was a petty woman, because she was defeated by the Goblin Illusion once in the trial and held a grudge, so she specially developed a new magic to beat the Goblin violently.

On the contrary, she completely described herself as a noble paladin. She came here specifically to solve the problems for the villagers because she learned that something abnormal had happened in Kasai Village but no adventurers were willing to accept the mission to investigate.

Suzuran's face was full of disgust when she listened, and she obviously didn't believe Valencia's nonsense... She believed Valensa was here for an investigation mission, but she didn't believe Valensa was so kind-hearted at all. Nine times out of ten, she still To satisfy private purposes.

Lovely had no doubts about Valencia, and was very grateful to Valensa, saying that she would treat Valensa to eat all the sweet melons when she got to the village.

Lovelei's hometown is Kasai Village. As a student of the Zhan Zhan Academy, she is considered the pride of the whole village.

She and Suzuran would come to Kasai Village at this time because they had received a letter from the village, and it was also related to the mission that Valencia had received.

About last month, a few days after the New Year's holiday, goblins suddenly began to appear near Kasai Village.

The villagers didn't pay attention at first... The farmers who can live in a place like Kasai Village are among the farmers who are more effective in fighting.

Although he has not practiced any martial arts systematically, with his strong body, it is not a big problem for one person to defeat two or three ordinary special forces soldiers like Valencia in her previous life.

Of course, special forces cannot use guns.

A farmer of this level is definitely not afraid of goblins.

The combat effectiveness of adult goblins is about the same as that of human teenage boys. Strong farmers can easily kill one with a hoe if they are serious.

This is also true. In the subsequent conflicts, the villagers were victorious. Nearly a hundred goblins died under various farm tools. Only one farmer was careless and was bitten by the goblin.

Normal goblins are non-toxic, so the farmer who was bitten didn't care. He just applied some herbs prepared by the village doctor and wanted to continue working.

Unexpectedly, the farmer collapsed the next day and developed various symptoms such as dizziness, fever, and convulsions from time to time.

Due to the inconvenient transportation between Kasai Village and the outside world, it was difficult for the villagers to transport the farmer out to the city's cathedral for treatment.

In addition, the farmer's physical condition was good, and although he had been sick, his life was not in danger. Everyone thought that he could carry it by himself, and maybe he would be fine after just lying down for a few days.

As a result, a few days later, not only did the farmer not show improvement, but several other farmers were accidentally bitten by goblins and suffered from the same symptoms.

Only then did the villagers realize the seriousness of the problem, so they asked the caravans who often came to buy melons to help them issue a commission to exterminate the goblins in the Adventurer's Guild. A capable doctor returned to the village to treat everyone.

Among the doctors Lovely knew, the most powerful one was of course Suzuran, so the two of them were heading to Kasai Village with the caravan that bought Xiaogua.

There were no surprises on the way through the swamp.

There are a few monsters that cannot open their eyes, but they are not very strong.

Valencia didn't even drop the big toad, she just stood on the big toad's back, bent her bow and arrows, and used the compound bow to kill several monsters easily.

After entering Kasai Village, everyone was warmly welcomed by the villagers.

Everyone had a general impression of Suzulan, a doctor with a young and cold face who claimed to be experienced, but Valencia's status as a paladin made the villagers feel safe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Sun Goddess! Thank you..."

Many devout villagers even knelt down on the ground and kowtowed nine times to the sun in the sky.

Lovely did not break her promise. After a brief communication with the village chief, she warmly greeted Valensa to go have a meal of sweet melon first. If there was anything else she wanted to do, it would not be too late to finish the melon.

Valencia had long smelled the sweet smell of the melon, and was quite moved. Coupled with the warm invitation from Lovely and the villagers, she half-heartedly agreed.

"Oh, what a stupid and superficial woman."

Suzuran despised Valencia's behavior, so she was more dedicated and did not go to eat the melon. She proposed to go and see those who were bitten by the goblins first.

The villagers didn't pay much attention to her at first, thinking she was just playing with her friends.

But the village doctor was more or less capable. He briefly exchanged a few words with Suzulan, and was immediately amazed by Suzulan's medical knowledge and medical concepts, and took her to see the injured.

In the village's medical center, Suzuran saw the injured, about a dozen of them, all lying on the soft beds on the floor of the medical center, their faces pale and showing pain.

"This is……!"

Suzuran's eyes changed, and she immediately ran to the injured and squatted down to check them.

"……really."

After a while, Suzuran stood up and sighed helplessly:

"Let's go to the village chief... Although I can cure their injuries, it's more convenient and faster to go to that stupid woman who is eating melon."

"Oh, alright."

The village doctor quickly followed.

The two of them soon arrived at the courtyard of the village chief's house. From a distance, they could hear the sound of Valencia talking and laughing loudly with a group of villagers, as well as the squeaking sound she made while eating melon.

"This woman... hmm, she's not too stupid."

After listening to a few words, Suzuran knew that Valencia was not really greedy... She was gathering further relevant information through chatting with the villagers.

"Come with me quickly, we need you more at the hospital."

After pushing the door open and entering the village chief's house, Suzuran didn't explain, grabbed Valencia and walked out.

"Hey?"

Valencia was a little surprised:

"And what about the injuries that you can't cure, Dr. Suzuran?"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not?"

Suzuran glared at Valencia angrily.

If it was really an injury, Suzuran didn't think that her medical skills would lose to divine skills. The problem was that the pain of the farmers had little to do with the injuries. It would be easiest to find a priest to solve the problem.

"Go! Of course I went... After all, I came to Kasai Village just to help everyone."

Valencia did not refuse, but when she was leaving the hospital, she picked up two very sweet melons and gnawed them as she walked.

"...Hmph, foodie."

Suzuran uttered angrily, and quickly took Valencia to the hospital, pointing at the farmers on the ground who looked in pain:

"You can't tell what's wrong with their bodies, right?"

"This is……"

Valencia also looked surprised. She ate up all the melons in a few mouthfuls and squatted down to inspect them carefully for the farmers.

Within half a minute, Valencia stood up again, her eyes very sure:

"It's unmistakable. They all have a slight undead curse left on them... They should have been bitten by undead creatures... but it's still a bit strange."

Chapter 210 The reason I can’t figure out

Just like the wild animals in Valencia's previous life carried viruses, any undead will have an undead curse.

Once you are bitten or scratched by an undead creature, you are likely to be infected with the undead curse.

Fortunately, practitioners who already have biological energy in their bodies can resist this curse on their own. It will be fine if they leave it alone, except that the wound will heal a little slower.

But that's not the case for ordinary people. Not only will they be very painful under the torture of the undead curse, but they will also lose their lives over time, and even turn into undead after death.

This is where Valencia felt something was wrong.

As a paladin, she could be sure that these injured people were definitely cursed by the undead.

But if these people are really cursed by the undead, according to intelligence, the delay in treatment for so many days is enough for them to die several times.

However, although the injured have not improved, there are no signs of deterioration... This is inconsistent with the common sense of the curse of the undead.

In addition, although the transportation in this village is very inconvenient, the villagers are not ignorant. They should be able to tell whether the goblins attacking them are undead.

Goblin undead are also undead. Even if their combat power is very weak, they cannot be easily beaten to death by farmers with a hoe.

Things seem to be starting to get interesting.

Valencia narrowed her eyes.

No matter what, let's treat the injured first, and then get more information.

Exorcising the undead curse is quite troublesome for a doctor like Suzuran, but it is a basic skill for a paladin like Valencia.
