Things about the female knight in black stockings

"...But even if it's different, grilled fish still has to be grilled, right?"

Meludi looked puzzled:

"Is there any grilled fish that doesn't need to be grilled?"

"Hehe, that's not certain... Anyway, thank you for your help. Leave the rest to me. You can chat with Tia and Mitele for a while first." Valensa smiled.

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat~~"

Meludi quickly exited the cooking area, but kept looking at it, seemingly curious about the method of grilling fish that Valencia said did not require grilling.

Valensa didn't hide it either. She took out a frying pan, added a lot of salad oil to the pan, and put it on the fire to heat.

When the oil temperature reaches [-] to [-]% of the boiling point, remove the wok from the heat, pour the hot oil on the marinated fish, and wait a few minutes for the fish to be soaked in the hot oil.

Then take a stone plate, put the stone plate on the fire to slightly heat it, put a layer of onion shreds and green onion shreds on it, and put the fish in it.

Finally, put the wok back on the fire, add minced garlic, ginger powder, millet pepper, minced meat and mushroom sauce and stir-fry until cooked, then pour it on the fish on the stone plate.

"Come on, try this first."

Valencia placed the stone plate in front of the three women who were already secretly swallowing their saliva, and said with a smile:

"This is the kind of grilled fish I'm talking about that doesn't need to be grilled directly...I call it stone plate grilled fish. It mainly cooks the fish by immersing it in hot oil and frying it. This way the fish tastes more tender. And using a heated stone plate as a The container can combine the taste of the fish and the sauce more deeply, making the fish more delicious... Hey, eat slowly, be careful of the fish bones getting stuck in your throat."

"It's okay. Everyone says it's at the Pearl level, so it won't get stuck by a mere fish bone."

Meludi continued to eat the fish nonchalantly, and looked at the other three fish that were still being marinated curiously:

"By the way, why didn't you finish all the fish? These two may not be enough to eat now..."

"Because I plan to cook another kind of grilled fish for you... so I asked you to eat slowly. If you are full now, you won't be able to eat it later~~"

Valencia giggled, winked at Meludi, and walked back to the fire again.

This time she did not grill the fish directly on the fire, but took out the heat-resistant, waterproof, and oil-free paper she had obtained from Tia before.

Lay the paper flat and place the fish on the paper.

Take out a small bowl, mix oil, light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger powder, minced garlic, etc. into the sauce, and then use a brush to apply it evenly on the fish, including the belly of the fish that has been emptied of its internal organs.

Spread a layer of shredded green onions on the fish and stuff some pork belly into the belly.

Completely wrap the processed fish with paper and tighten the seal.

Finally, take a large iron box, put the fish wrapped in paper into the iron box, and bake it over fire.

This is the second type of grilled fish Valencia is going to make tonight... grilled fish wrapped in paper.

Contrary to the grilled fish on a stone plate that is cooked in oil and fried, the grilled fish wrapped in paper basically does not see any oil smoke during the whole process, so that the fish meat is not greasy at all, and the paper also locks in the aroma of the fish.

Tia, Meludi, and Mitele, who were already almost full, quickly lost their appetite again and quickly ate a paper-wrapped grilled fish until only the bones were left.

Valencia cooked a total of five fish tonight, and now there are only half of the fish grilled on the stone plate and two whole fish wrapped in paper.

She hesitated for a moment, and instead of eating it herself, she took a paper-wrapped grilled fish and gave it to the fisherman from the Air Force:

"Come on, old gentleman... We are destined to meet each other. Please try the grilled fish I made."

"Hmm... Not bad, the little girl knows how to respect the elderly~~"

The fishing man was not polite at all. He took out the fork he brought with him and started eating.

"Ok?"

After taking a few bites, the fishing man’s eyes brightened, and he looked at Valencia with an even more surprised look:

"Little girl, you can do this... Are you a freshman in the logistics department this year in the culinary field?"

"No, actually I am a top soldier~~"

Valencia smiled shyly:

"After all, the elite soldiers have to face various situations, so they know a little bit of everything they want."

"Oh, yes...that's true. After all, the girls' dormitory of your elite department is right next to it...Hey, look at my memory. It's easy to forget things when I'm older."

The fishing man patted his head and continued eating fish:

"Anyway...thank you for the fish, little girl...it's delicious, I like it very much."

"Old sir, please take it easy. I will continue to accompany my friends."

Valencia bowed politely to the fisherman before returning to Tia's side, where the girls spent a good time eating, drinking, talking and laughing.

Chapter 20 Let’s go on a date on the day off?

"Let's go? Shall I take you back to the dormitory?"

After eating a delicious grilled fish, Meludi and Mitele went back to the house to rest first, while Valencia acted like a knight escorting the princess to Tia.

"...Idiot, I'm not a little girl anymore. Do I need you to take me back to my dormitory?"

Tia blushed and snorted, but did not refuse.

The two of them were walking and chatting, reminiscing about all the interesting things they had experienced living in the royal capital when they were children. The journey, which obviously took more than ten minutes, seemed as fast as only one or two minutes.

"that……"

Arriving in front of the villa in the command department's girls' dormitory, Tia hesitated and asked:

"Are you free on this day off? Do you want to go shopping in the royal capital together? Didn't I promise to give you a new shield before? Of course, if you have other equipment that you like, I can also buy it for you. .”

"Hehe, Tia, you are so kind to me... Let me tell you first that I have no money. If you insist on paying me back in the future, I will have to use my body to pay off the debt~~"

Valensa first teased Tia as usual, and then she smiled and nodded when she was stepped on by the expected white silk feet:

"Don't worry...Tia asked me to ask for a date. Even if I'm not available, I will find a way to be available...but I may have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to meet Sister Melina first, is that okay?"

"Of course it doesn't matter...Melina is like a biological sister to you, right? Last time I only met her briefly and didn't talk much."

Tia said and pondered again:

"How about this, let's go shopping to buy you equipment during the day, and when Melina gets off work in the evening, we can invite her to have dinner together. How about that?"

"No problem, just make the arrangements, Tia."

Valencia nodded.

"Well, that's settled then...good night."

"Good night."

Watching Tia walk into the dormitory door, Valencia also turned and left.

But she didn't rush back to her room to take a shower and rest. Instead, she came to the negative floor of the dormitory building.

It's time to practice the nail stabbing sword move taught by the little old man Dotarok during the day.

For the practice of sword skills, it was obviously inappropriate to go to the meditation room, so Valencia chose the training room.

As expected, there was no one in the training room at this time. In the room, which was less than [-] square meters, there was only a big stone in the middle and various training weapons on the shelves around it.

The length, width and height of the big stone are about two meters. The surface of the stone is covered with dense scars, which were obviously left by the students when they tried out their moves.

Tonight, there will inevitably be more traces of Valencia's creation on the stone.

The principle of stabbing a sword sounds easy. It is the second stage of muscle control that controls speed.

But in actual practice, that's not the case at all... This move requires a lot of physical control, and it may be more difficult to learn than to condense sword energy.

During the independent training in the afternoon practical class, Valencia saw that the boy who was a descendant of the Sword Saint had been trying to figure out how to practice this move, but he still couldn't figure it out, and couldn't even get started.

But Valencia wasn't worried at all.

In such dilemmas involving one's own abilities, one can always trust in the magical power of the mind.

brush.

Valencia pulled out her alloy sword and stabbed the big stone with all her strength without strengthening her strength or using any sword skills.

puff.

The tip of the sword entered in response, and about half of the sword's body pierced into the stone.

"About half a meter... This rock is quite hard. If it were an ordinary rock in the wild, I should be able to pierce it with my sword and leave only the hilt exposed."

After muttering something to herself, Valencia pulled out the sword and took a deep breath.

The basic thrust effect is already there, and the next step is to use the spike sword for comparison.

Still don’t know how to use the force of a stabbing sword?

It doesn't matter, Valencia thinks she can do it on her own, and all the power of her mind will help her do it.

It's just that the more uses the power of the mind has, the faster it will be consumed, so this sword move cannot be launched with the power of the mind every time in the future.

First use the power of the mind to forcibly control the body to activate the stabbing sword, and then use the power of the mind to strengthen the memory while activating it, record the feeling of exerting force, and then practice according to that feeling repeatedly until the soul is no longer consumed. With this power, he can also skillfully activate the stabbing sword.

This is the stabbing sword training plan that Valencia made for herself.

Now, let’s experience the feeling of the stabbing sword and test its power.

At the same time, it strengthens memory and body control, so that the water in the heart pool suddenly decreases by more than one third.

At the same time, the cold light flashed again in the training room, and the alloy long sword pierced the big stone again, and it also penetrated half of the sword body.

The difference is that the sword did not end there. Instead, it became sharp again after the blade penetrated, and cracks even appeared near the entrance where the blade penetrated the big stone.

Valencia did not rush to pull out the sword, but stood there for a long time with her eyes closed. After making sure that her body had remembered the feeling just now, she gently pushed the sword into the stone.

Sure enough, the entire sword penetrated the stone completely without any resistance, leaving only the hilt exposed.

The sharp force erupted from the second section of the stabbing sword penetrated the boulder for at least another half meter, or even more.

This is still without using the power of the mind to strengthen the power. If it were strengthened... maybe it could pierce this big stone with a sword?

The power is definitely not weak... at least the scars left on this big stone have not been able to completely penetrate the big stone.

Valencia suddenly became eager to give it a try.

She estimated the approximate consumption of her spiritual power and the extent to which it could be restored tomorrow morning. She felt that it would not affect her class tomorrow, so she decided to do it.

She drew her sword, took two steps back, took a deep breath, and assumed a serious stabbing posture.

The power of the mind, strengthen the strength.

The power of the mind strengthens body control.

Stab sword, activate!

Whoosh!

Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, the cold light of the alloy sword pierced the big stone for the third time. It penetrated easily, leaving only the hilt exposed.

puff!

After that, the second phase of the sharp force exploded, and as expected, the two-meter-thick boulder penetrated directly. Even after passing through the boulder, it still had a certain lethality. It cut a training spear on the weapon rack behind the boulder into two pieces. .

"Great!"

Valencia waved her fist excitedly, she was very satisfied with the power of this sword.

In the past, when she faced strong enemies, she basically could only rely on the assassination ring's metal wire sneak attack and the divine power rune's attack rebound to deal damage. Now she finally has a powerful frontal sword skill.

...it just consumes a lot of money.

After sinking her mind and looking at her heart that was about to bottom out, Valensa sighed.

Judging from the current situation, she can probably use such a powerful sword skill twice when she is in good condition. If she is overdrawn, she should be able to barely use the third sword, but then she will be unable to fall down.

As Valencia develops more and more uses, her heart pool reserve can no longer keep up.

Fortunately, she has successfully broken through to the Pearl level, and her physical attributes have increased a lot, so she should be able to carry more spiritual power.

It’s time to go to the Dimension Hardware Store again.

Chapter 21 Tia: I am only responsible for the checkout

The last time Valencia went to the Dimension Hardware Store was before the Zhan Zhan College admissions assessment.

A month has passed now, which is not a long time, but a lot has happened, and Valensa has earned a lot of blind box draws.

From Melina's teaching that night at the very beginning, to the double-dealing in the Church of the Sun in Krall City, to the reunion with Tia and her wonderful performances in various daily life and assessments, etc., Valencia's blindness was greatly affected. The number of box draws continues to increase.
