Things about the female knight in black stockings

. . . . .

The next morning, after making some preparations with Melina's help, Valencia took a carriage and visited the house of the Kingdom's Finance Minister.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Valencia did not visit in the name of the church, but as a noble lady.

This was one of the reasons why she went to see Melina first yesterday... How could she visit a visit between big nobles alone?

Recruiting Sophia to work in the church will inevitably destroy the marriage planned by the Chancellor of Finance. Valencia did not want to be noticed by the Chancellor of Finance prematurely, so she used it in the name of hanging out with friends.

The servants of the Chancellor's family knew that Sophia was studying at Iris Girls' College.

Valencia looked to be about the same age as Sofia, so the servants of the Chancellor's family naturally regarded Valencia as Sofia's classmate and didn't pay much attention.

The visit of a concubine's classmate would not alarm the family head... Valensa was quickly taken directly to Sofia's residence, which could be said to be exactly what Valensa wanted.

"Instructor?"

Sofia, who was reading in the room, was obviously surprised to see Valencia. She quickly stood up, walked to Valencia and asked with concern:

"Is your body okay?"

"Well, it's okay now, don't worry."

Valencia smiled and nodded, sitting across the table from Sofia under her hospitality.

"That's great!"

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart:

"I saw you fall, instructor, and I was always worried... By the way, tomorrow night, the students in Wangdu plan to hold a banquet to celebrate everyone's escape from death. Instructor, will you come too? You are Here is the hero who saved us."

"A class reunion? Yes, I will attend."

Valencia's eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this the best recruitment opportunity?

But before recruiting other noble girls, you still have to get Sofia first... Even if Sofia refuses the recruitment due to various considerations, you still have to try your best to persuade Sofia to help you persuade others.

Thinking of this, Valencia stopped beating around the bush, and after a few casual chats, she went straight to the point and proposed her plan to Sophia.

"Instructor, you want to...recruit students to serve in the church?"

Sophia's beautiful eyes kept blinking, looking very surprised:

"Why? Obviously marriage is very normal among nobles... We are born to enjoy the wealthy life provided by our family, and we are naturally obliged to contribute to the family.

Since we don’t have the talent for cultivation, are not good at management, or are not qualified to inherit management rights, shouldn’t we just get married? "

"Of course I understand these principles. After all, I am also from a noble family, and I am just a step closer to becoming your classmate."

Valencia shrugged her shoulders and smiled, but her eyes became particularly serious:

"It is true that children should contribute to the family after enjoying the wealth provided by the family, but do they have to sacrifice their own marriage and happiness?

Those who are in love with their fiancés are okay, but there are still many young noble girls who will be married to old men many years older than them... Is it possible for them to be happy?

Even if they don't have the talent to practice and cannot participate in management, female nobles can still contribute to the family in other ways and repay the family for their upbringing. There is no need to marry, right?

I don't want to destroy the tradition of the nobility, I just... want to give those noble girls who are unwilling to sacrifice their love and marriage a chance to change their destiny through hard work.

Are you willing to change your destiny of only being a tool for marriage, and help more classmates change this destiny together?Sophia? "

Chapter 16 Asking the Goddess to Give a Child

Unlike Lian, Sofia readily agreed to Valencia's recruitment.

Sophia also has several older brothers and sisters. She is not needed to pass on the family bloodline. She only needs to fulfill her obligation to contribute to the family. There is no need to use marriage.

In addition, Sofia's engagement has not been finalized yet, so she has no burden at all and can seize the opportunity given by Valencia to work hard for herself.

Girls are always emotional.

If you are not overwhelmed by responsibilities and obligations and are unable to resist, who would be willing to casually sacrifice your life's happiness?

If there is an opportunity to struggle, of course you must seize it.

Sofia was very confident in persuading some classmates to accept Valencia's recruitment, and even immediately made a list of names for Valencia and began to discuss the persuasion plan for tomorrow night.

After discussing the business matters and chatting for a while, Valencia took her leave.

In order not to arouse suspicion in her family, Sofia sent Valencia to the door like a real classmate, and warmly invited her to come and play again next time.

Valencia naturally cooperated and performed the trick.

With Sofia's help, the recruitment will be more effective. Valencia is very confident about this and can just wait for the celebration party tomorrow night.

So she canceled her original plan to visit a few girls and spent a fun day shopping and eating snacks with Melina in the capital before sending Melina back to the staff dormitory and returning to the church.

"Instructor instructor..."

As soon as she arrived at the church's rest area, Lian ran over excitedly:

"I heard from a priest sister that as long as you can get the favor from the Sun Goddess, you can have children even if you don't have a man! Is this true?"

"Of course there is."

Valencia nodded with a smile and rubbed Lian's hair:

"But... the grace from the goddess's crown is not something you can just get if you want it. You must be a very devout believer or have certain merits for the church."

"It doesn't matter, I will work very hard, and I will definitely get the favor from the goddess!"

Lian clenched her fists confidently, raised her face and looked at Valencia:

"I have decided, instructor! I... really want to become a paladin! I want to protect the weak and become a real hero like you, instructor!"

"Well, I knew Lian that you would eventually make this decision."

Valencia smiled without any surprise, then hesitated before asking:

"What about your family...?"

"It doesn't matter with the family!"

Lian Xian was very confident:

"I will work extra hard to practice and become an excellent paladin, so that the goddess will reward me and give me a child!

The elders in the family have been forcing me to get married, don’t they just want to have children?Then if I give birth to a child...a child bestowed by the goddess, I don't have to worry about the man's family ambitions!There is no reason for the elders to disagree with this method that makes everyone satisfied and happy! "

"Shall we give birth to a child bestowed by the goddess to repay the family's nurturing grace? Well... this is indeed a good way. Maybe I can also... cough."

Valencia thought about it for a while, and then quickly pulled back her thoughts.

She looked at Lian seriously:

"Now that you have decided to become a Holy Knight, the next training will be very hard... After all, Lian, you started a little late. If you want to catch up, you will need to work twice as hard... Are you ready to wake up?"

"Of course! I have realized it a long time ago!"

Lian nodded repeatedly and clenched her little fists tightly:

“Compared with smart people like the instructors and Sophia, I may be a little clumsy, but in terms of faith and perseverance, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone!

All problems that can be solved with hard work are not problems to me! "

"very good!"

Valencia rubbed Lian's head again, and the more she looked at Lian, the more she liked her.

Although she and Lian were actually about the same age, she felt a sense of expectation towards Lian like a senior would when seeing an outstanding junior.

When Valencia read those martial arts novels in her previous life, she always couldn't understand how some powerful seniors would always give everything to the protagonist or even sacrifice their lives to save them. Now she can feel some of that feeling.

This is how she feels about Lian... Even though they have known each other for a short time, they are very attached to her and want to teach her skills to Lian so that Lian can grow into a better person.

"Let's go to the training ground."

When in a happy mood, people become generous and generous, and Valencia is no exception:

"To celebrate Lian, you have made your choice. Instructor, I want to give you a gift!"

"Huh? The instructor wants to give me a gift?"

Lian was very happy, but also a little puzzled:

"But why do you have to go to the training ground? Can't you do it here?"

"Because that gift is sharper."

Valencia smiled slightly:

"I have to teach you some basic techniques first to ensure that you don't get hurt by it."

"oh oh……"

Lian nodded obediently, but her eyes became even more expectant.

The sharper one...must be a weapon, right?

As expected, the instructor is the best. Unlike those boring men back home, the gifts they gave me all day long were either flowers or cakes, which was not interesting at all.

Lian was full of expectations, and the two girls quickly arrived at the training ground.

At this time, there were still many Paladins training independently here. After Valencia smiled and nodded to them, she took Lian to a relatively empty corner.

"Here...this is the gift the instructor wants to give you. Do you like it?"

In the flash of cold light, Valencia took out a dagger with a blade of only about 30 centimeters and placed it in front of Lian's eyes.

"This is... so amazing!"

Lian's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the blade, but as soon as she touched her finger, she was scratched by the sharp edge and blood flowed out.

Lian didn't care at all, but became even more excited.

"See? I knew you were going to hurt yourself little idiot."

Valencia smiled fondly, and used her other hand to activate magic to heal Lian's finger.

The gift she wants to give to Lian is the trophy obtained from the wild beast killer - the dragon tooth dagger.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger is very sharp, but it is too short and too light. Valencia, who is used to using long swords, has always felt that the Dragon Tooth Dagger is not very comfortable.

In the past, her killing methods were insufficient, and she often needed the Dragon Teeth Dagger to break through defenses. There was nothing she could do without it.

But now that Valencia has the Moon Kiss and the cross-handled lightsaber that have surpassed the sharpness of the Dragon Teeth Dagger, the Dragon Teeth Dagger can almost only be managed in the warehouse.

Now it's time to take it out and give it to Lian.

Anyway, Lian's swordsmanship basically needs to be practiced from scratch, so it's not a big problem to modify the dagger... In addition, Lian is relatively short, so using a dagger is very suitable.

"Although this sword is a bit short, the material is the dragon's tooth of a moon-level black dragon. Most armors and weapons are vulnerable to it... How about it? Do you like this gift, Lian?"

Chapter 17 The King Summons

"I like it! I like it very much... Ouch."

Lian nodded happily and wanted to reach out to take the dragon tooth dagger, but was scratched again.

She was obviously very careful this time.

Only then did Lian realize how sharp the Dragon Tooth Dagger was. While she was extremely happy, she was also a little confused and embarrassed:

"Isn't the gift... too expensive, instructor?"

"it does not matter."

Valencia smiled and shook her head. Seeing that Lian still looked very embarrassed, she said again:

"Although I don't really care...because I think He Lian is very compatible with you. Even if this dragon's tooth dagger will be very expensive if it is auctioned, I will give it away.

But Lian, if you really feel embarrassed, just practice harder.

To tell you the truth, I personally recruited you to become a paladin, and you will definitely be working for me in the future. Will this sword still have to fight for me? "

"...Well, I understand, thank you, instructor."

Lian then carefully took over the dragon tooth dagger and nodded seriously to Valencia:

"Don't worry, instructor, I will definitely work hard to practice and share your worries in the future."

"very good."

Valencia smiled, rummaged through the storage space again, and found a dagger that was about the same length and size as a dragon tooth dagger.
