Things about the female knight in black stockings

"That's easy to say."

Melina nodded, swallowed the last piece of sausage in her hand, and stood up:

"Then I'll go downstairs first. Qili and Lulu should have arrived, and the adventurers who just came back last night should also be waiting to hand in their missions."

"Well, good-bye, sister Melina, good luck with your work~~"

Valencia waved her hand and watched Melina leave, then lowered her head and continued to drink her milk.

"Gudong...ha~~."

Not long after, Valensa drank a large glass of hot milk into her stomach, and some white liquid residue flowed down the corners of her mouth, and she wiped it clean with a towel before falling on her clothes.

Where are you going next?

Valencia, who had eaten and drank enough, sat at the table with her chin in her hands and thought.

The ability of the divine power rune can only be used once a day. Although it is okay to test it with monsters, it is definitely not as intuitive and accurate as testing it with people.

But if we were to test people...who should we attack?

The image she has established in Serjin Town is that of a warm, cheerful and approachable noble lady. Bullying people casually may destroy this image, which is not cost-effective.

Asking someone who is also an adventurer to conduct battle training... is not feasible. How can a unique skill such as the Divine Power Rune be easily known to outsiders?

...emmm

It seems there is only one way left.

Valencia stood up from the table, then lay down on the ground again, with most of her body under the bed, leaving only her crotch and calves wrapped in black stockings outside.

"Huh... I found it."

Panting, she dug under the bed for almost half a minute before pulling out a small box the size of a shoe box.

The box looked very old, with a lot of damage on the edges and corners, and heavy dust accumulation on the surface. It didn't fit the status of Valencia's noble lady.

Because the props in this box are what she uses to disguise her identity.

pat.

The buckle of the box was a little tight due to rust, but Valensa still opened it smoothly, revealing the gray inside.

This was a tattered cloak in the style of a beggar, and it was very wide. It could completely cover up Valencia's already well-developed figure, making her look like a homeless man that could be seen everywhere in the slums.

Under the tattered cloak, there was a low-quality pearl bracelet that looked obviously not very valuable but was still worth dozens of copper plates. It was also worn by Valencia, and it was looming under the cuffs of the tattered cloak.

"OK, the disguise has been completed, now it's time to go 'fishing'."

After taking a look in the mirror to make sure she couldn't see any flaws, Valencia opened the window and jumped directly from the fifth floor.

This appearance is too conspicuous when passing by the lobby on the first floor, so it is better to go through the window.

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Valensa looked around a few times and blended in easily with the passers-by. She also deliberately staggered around to pretend to be a poor and old person.

At first, the pedestrians on the road were quite friendly. Even if they disliked her beggar-like tattered cloak, most of them stepped aside without showing any ill will.

But as Valencia walked all the way north to the gangster street, the worst public security area in Serkin Town, more and more malicious eyes were cast on her.

Perhaps it was because the little gangsters in the morning also wanted to sleep in. Those ill-intentioned glances cast on Valencia were mostly just looking at her, and no one actually took action.

It wasn't until she seemed to accidentally lift up her cuffs several times to reveal the inferior pearl necklace that the prey finally couldn't help but take the bait.

"Hey, old man!"

A man with a hideous face, wearing only underpants and a bare upper body, jumped out and stopped Valencia:

"What are you wearing on your wrist? Show it to me quickly...I just need some copper coins to drink these two days."

"...No, this is not okay."

Valencia pinched her throat and made a hoarse voice, and retreated tremblingly, seemingly panicked:

"This is my last piece of jewelry, you can't..."

"No, I can!"

The expression of the hateful man became even more ferocious, and his eyes even radiated a sadistic light:

"Stop talking nonsense, bring the things to me!"

"no no!"

Valencia became even more frightened, turned around and ran away towards a more remote alley nearby.

"Huh, stupid old thing."

The man sneered, as if he was about to catch a turtle in a urn, and took big steps to catch up.

"Bring it to you!"

When he arrived at a place where no passers-by were passing by, the man no longer tried to hide it, but he rushed towards Valencia roughly and reached out to grab her wrist.

"no, do not want!"

Valencia seemed to be dodging in a panic, but like a coincidence, she happened to trip under the unsuspecting man's feet, causing the man to fall into an extremely ugly mess.

"Old! East! West!"

The man was completely furious.

brush!

He took out a dagger directly from his pants and rushed over with a roar.

"you wanna die!"

But this is what Valencia wanted. She narrowed her eyes and locked the dagger firmly with her dynamic vision that had almost reached the pearl level. She pretended to be panicked and raised her hand to block it while activating her ability.

when.

"Ouch! My wrist...my wrist!"

The dagger stabbed Valencia's right wrist, but she was not injured at all, because under the beggar's tattered cloak was a metal wrist guard, which could easily block a gangster's dagger stab.

On the contrary, it was the little gangster himself. A wound suddenly appeared on the same part of his right wrist. The size and shape could match the dagger. It was bleeding and rolling on the ground in pain.

"Noisy!"

Valencia stopped acting and stepped on the back of the gangster's head, knocking him unconscious:

"Isn't it just a little blood? What do you call it... A manly man can't bear the pain, no wonder he can only rob the old man here because he has no future... What a waste of food and oxygen!"

Her mouth was filled with complaints of disgust, but in order to ensure that her judgment was accurate, Valencia frowned and squatted down next to the gangster to check the wound on his wrist.

"...Well, it's exactly what I thought."

A few minutes later, Valencia stood up with satisfaction, kicked the man at her feet to the corner of the alley, and then turned around and left.

Chapter 11 Office Supplies from Another World

Although only one such experiment was conducted, Valencia was able to determine it.

The exact effect of the once-a-day anti-injury ability of my divine power rune is as understood, it is to cause the enemy to suffer the same attack, not the same damage.

These two situations may seem similar, but they are actually quite different.

Applying the game mechanics that Valencia was most familiar with in her previous life, if the enemy suffers the same damage, then as much output as you want to rely on counter-injury, you will have to lose as much blood... It is a completely useless double-edged sword, except for hitting someone. They are useless except for enemies with low health and high attack.

But if the enemy is subjected to the same attack, it will be completely different.

Because attacks can be defended, parried, dodged, and the damage can be minimized with the help of various spells or props.

With mental arithmetic but no intention, you can build tactics around this anti-injury ability, causing the enemy to be defeated inexplicably like the little gangster just now.

Valencia had examined the punk carefully.

Although the wound on the gangster's right wrist was completely consistent with his dagger in terms of size and shape, his dagger itself was clean and there was no trace of the fact that it had just pierced a person's wrist.

As if it were some natural phenomenon, the wound suddenly appeared in the same spot where the gangster stabbed Valencia with a dagger... It can only be said that it is worthy of the power of God.

Although the damage is not high, the damage-causing mechanism is probably top-notch.

Valensa's mind suddenly became active. She now had a lot of ideas about the first level of the Zhan Zhan College admissions assessment that had been bothering her before.

brush.

Valencia, who was in a good mood, stopped acting and took off her tattered cloak. She returned to a cheerful girl and ran back to the Adventurer's Guild with a gust of fragrance.

"Sister Melina~Sister Melina~"

She ran to the second floor and opened the door of the supervisor's office:

"Help me check some information."

"Miss?"

Melina, who was working, immediately put down her pen and pushed the documents in front of her aside:

"What information do you want to check?"

"You use the Adventurer's Guild's intelligence network to help me check..."

Valencia thought for a few seconds:

"Help me check if there are any damage-neutral props in the recent mission rewards... It is best to use the kind that can offset the damage according to the number of attacks and has extremely high damage-free strength!"

"A defensive item that offsets damage based on the number of times? Is it to cooperate with your new ability, Miss?"

Melina understood immediately, and of course she would not refuse:

"I understand, I'll help you take a look."

She walked from her desk to the corner, where there was a metal safe the size of a bookshelf.

The cabinet door is not only equipped with a turntable combination lock, but also requires a drop of blood for magic authentication... Because the cabinet is the most valuable property of the Adventurer's Guild, and only Melina, the supervisor in the entire Serkin Town, can access it.

Melina quickly opened the cabinet door. Inside were some precious paper materials, several bags of magic crystals, and a magical prop with exquisite craftsmanship.

The upper part of the prop is a diamond-shaped crystal, and the lower part is made of pure metal, with many operating modules like buttons.

Naturally, this was not the first time for Valensa to see Melina use this magic item. She had seen it more before when she was the Countess in the royal capital.

Although this thing is complicated to make and quite expensive, in Valencia's eyes, it is actually the office computer that she could see everywhere in her previous life, and it is still the oldest and backward model.

However, in this world of swords and magic, magic props that allow ordinary people to upload, download and check information remotely are extremely valuable and must be used with caution.

Melina followed the procedure exactly. She first took out a piece of water-based magic crystal from the bag containing the magic crystal, rubbed it repeatedly in her palms, and washed her hands with the purest water to prevent unknown residues and residues on her hands. The Lian Nian Crystal Instrument reacted and caused damage.

Carefully taking out the Lian Nian Crystal Instrument from the safe and putting it on the desk, Melina took out a piece of non-attribute magic crystal, and then used coarse sandpaper to grind off some magic crystal powder as the starting energy for the Lian Nian Crystal Instrument. .

After everything was ready, Melina held up the monocle with one hand and gently operated the Lian Nian crystal instrument with the other hand to conduct inquiries.

Although this device can also connect to the Internet to query information like Valencia's previous life, the speed is much worse than that of computers and the Internet.

She waited beside her for a long time, even unable to help but yawn several times, before she saw Melina put down her monocle tiredly.

"How's it going, Sister Melina? Did you gain anything?"

"Not much to gain."

Melina sighed and shook her head:

"Most of the adventurer guild's mission rewards are gold coins. There are very few clients who issue missions with physical rewards as rewards, let alone specify the type of props..."

"Of course I know this, so I asked Sister Melina to use this."

Valencia pointed at the Lian Nian Crystal Instrument with a smile:

"No matter how small the proportion is, with the population base of the entire Kingdom of France, it is impossible that there will be no one at all, right?"

"...There is indeed a mission reward that meets the requirements, but..."

Facing Valencia's expectant eyes, Melina couldn't bear it, but she still had to tell the truth:

"That was a mission issued by a star-level magician... The reward he gave was 10 high-level magic shield scrolls, but what he needed was the dragon scales of an adult black dragon..."

"The scales of an adult black dragon..."

Valencia was speechless.

As long as a pure-blooded dragon like the black dragon reaches adulthood, it will be at least a star level.

Not to mention that she was just a crunchy snack in front of an adult black dragon. Even if an adult black dragon did not resist and let her have her way, she might not be able to get the dragon scales off.

Obviously, this task is not something Valencia can consider at the moment.
