Things about the female knight in black stockings

"They are obviously living creatures, but their bodies are filled with a weak curse of the undead...and their souls also give me a very strange feeling."

"Well, I can also feel the weak undead curse in their bodies. It seems that they used a rather exquisite sealing magic."

The little bat also flew twice around the goblin:

"But their souls...boom, I didn't feel anything."

"I just feel a little bit wrong. I can't tell what it is specifically."

brush!

Valencia killed the worthless goblin at her feet with one strike:

"Come on, you should know where their nest is, right? Go inside and have a look."

"Ok."

The little bat began to lead the way again, and soon found the goblin's lair. It was a location that Valencia had passed several times before, but had not been able to find it because it was hidden by the magic barrier.

The goblins soon discovered Valencia, and watched helplessly as their own kindred died quickly under Valencia's sword one by one. However, they were not afraid at all, and they continued to charge forward one after another.

Chapter 212 Another testing ground

Seeing more and more goblins rushing towards her to bite her black stockings legs, Valencia was not flustered but overjoyed.

She had been working hard for a month to develop a new magical technique, wasn't it just for this moment?

Divine magic. Light flames strike at the feet!

Snapped!

As Valencia jumped high and then trampled on the ground, a shock wave mixed with holy light and holy flame swept out in all directions.

The goblins who were drooling and saw only black stockings in their eyes were immediately blown away. The kinetic energy impact shattered their bones. The holy flames burned their bodies, and the holy light purified the undead curse in their bodies.

A strange phenomenon occurred again, and the joyful smile that Valencia had originally shown due to the successful actual test of the new magic also froze on her face.

The goblins who were hit by the light flames should have died painfully due to broken bones and burning by the holy flames, but the result was far beyond Valencia and Fran's expectations.

It seems that because the holy light purified the undead curse in the goblins, many of the goblins who had lost their minds due to hunger actually regained their clarity in their eyes.

After that, not only did they not howl under the burning of the holy flame, but they all showed strange expressions as if they were finally relieved.

It felt very strange... as if these goblins were not goblins, but humans.

"...Tsk."

Valencia clutched her heart.

Now she no longer had the joy of succeeding in the new magic, only an indescribable awkwardness and a very uncomfortable premonition.

"...Let's go."

After waiting for a while, Valencia made sure that she was fully prepared before continuing towards the goblin lair, but she held the sword hilt tightly in her hand.

Fran's little bat seemed to have sensed something. It made no more noise and just silently flapped its wings and followed Valencia.

Along the way, many hungry goblins jumped out and attacked Valencia.

The alloy sword in Valencia's hand flickered non-stop, killing all the attacking goblins and killing them as painlessly as possible with one sword strike.

We also encountered several dangerous magic traps in the middle. Fortunately, Fran's little bat warned her, and the place was abandoned, so Valencia was not injured.

Only the electric shock trap she encountered for the first time was fully consumed by her. Now her black silk legs still twitch from time to time, so it has little effect.

Soon, the entire goblin lair was pierced by Valencia with one sword and one man. In the deepest part, as expected, a large number of props used for magic experiments were found.

The original owner of this place seemed to have evacuated in a hurry. Many experimental props seemed quite expensive, but they were all abandoned here.

However, Valencia only took a brief look at the experimental props and stopped paying attention... all her attention was attracted by a strange goblin.

This is probably the last Goblin still alive in the cave. Its appearance looks no different from an ordinary Goblin, but it is soaked in a blue liquid... very much like Valencia's previous life science fiction The kind of nutrient solution used in biological research in the movie.

What's more important is that this goblin doesn't have the expression that a goblin should have.

When it saw Valencia, there was no fear in its already numb eyes, but instead it felt like it had finally been saved.

"...Tsk, is that really the case?"

Valencia gasped a few times and stamped her feet in displeasure.

From the first time she met the goblins here, Valencia had a very strange feeling.

The souls and bodies of these goblins don't seem to match well. The souls in the bodies of those goblins are very much like human souls.

Valencia can see this not because she has any powerful soul talent, but simply an intuition from the bloodline of the evil god - an intuition about food.

Human souls are an excellent delicacy for the evil god. Even if they are stuffed into the body of a goblin, it will be difficult to hide them from Valensa, who has gradually awakened the evil god's instinct.

Just like wrapping meat in vegetable leaves, you can't hide it from predators at all.

It’s just that the human souls in the previous goblins seemed incomplete. They felt like luncheon meat with a lot of starch added, and the taste and texture were much different from real meat... So Valensa was only suspicious but not sure. .

However, now this goblin, which was soaked in blue liquid and whose eyes had the same emotions as human beings, allowed Valencia to completely verify her guess.

Very bad guess.

"……damn it!"

After stamping her foot hard again, Valencia walked towards the last goblin.

She did not attack or hurt the other person, but carefully took the goblin out and tried to save the goblin's life.

But it didn't work.

From the first moment she saw it, Valencia felt that this goblin's life had already reached its limit, both soul and body, and it would not live long no matter what.

"...Do you have any other wishes? Do you know who caused you to do this?"

"A...a woman who seems to be very kind and gentle."

The goblin replied in very clear human language, using the last strength of its life:

"I...I want to go home...I miss my mother...my home is...in...the east...uh."

In the end, the goblin still couldn't finish its last words and could no longer make a sound.

The already tattered soul was completely shattered, and the body turned into thick water in a few seconds, as if it had suffered a severe genetic collapse.

"..."

Valencia remained silent for a while in a half-crouched position before standing up again.

"Don't be sad, I've already informed Sister Lika."

The little bat took the opportunity to land on Valencia's shoulder and gently rubbed her face:

"You can appear here at his last moment, and at least you can let him rest in peace, right?"

"……Um."

Valencia rubbed her hands and exhaled again:

"Although I have known for a long time that some madmen behave very cruelly, but after seeing it with my own eyes... what kind of person would do such a thing! He would actually cut off the human soul bit by bit, and then seal it into Goblin In Lin’s body? Does this make sense?”

"Well... we will have to wait until the research team investigates to find out."

Fran paused and continued:

"And Valencia, you should have noticed it, right? We saw a lot of the experimental equipment here in the abandoned mine last time."

"Well, I recognize it. This should also be that bastard's testing ground."

Valencia nodded:

"The time is just right... The goblins who escaped from here started attacking the villagers, not long after Sister Lika discovered her traces and pursued her all the way.

It was probably that time that made her realize the danger and gave up here. "

Chapter 213 Breeding and mass production of souls

The matter involves the star-level necromancer that has been being hunted, and the Church of the Sun takes it very seriously.

After Valencia reported the matter through Fran's little bat, it didn't take long for Lika to personally lead the research team from the Theocratic Continent to the scene.

Considering that Suzuran was also a necromancer in the past and had successfully activated the black magic of soul transfer, Valencia called her over and recommended her to the research team to conduct experiments on the experimental devices left in the Goblin Cave. Reverse analysis.

While the researchers were working in the Goblin Cave, Rika also called Valencia aside and asked her for more details.

"and many more."

Rika frowned when she heard Valensa recounting the last goblin's last words:

"A woman who seems to be very gentle and kind? Are you sure you heard correctly?"

"Absolutely not. Fran's magic clone was also there at the time. You can ask her."

Valencia affirmed and was a little curious:

"Is there anything wrong with this last word, Sister Lika?"

"Have."

Rika took a breath:

"From the time the incident in Bodek Town broke out to now, I have met that guy three times. Although he ran away every time, I will definitely not mistake whether he is a boy or a girl. He is a man.

So if the victim you met didn't lie to you... ugh. "

"It means that the bastard did not commit the crime alone. He probably had accomplices."

Valencia took the words and thought about it for a moment:

"It may also be that he has some means to disguise his true image. Whether it is the man you see, Sister Lika, or the woman the victim sees, they are all fake."

"Yes, this will be very troublesome... At the very least, the physical features I uploaded to the database will most likely be invalid. It will be difficult for us to actively search for him. We can only wait for him to jump out on his own."

Lika sighed unwillingly:

"By the way, where did the victim last mention his hometown? If you can know this, maybe you can follow the clues and find some new clues."

"It's a pity that he didn't make it to the end."

Valencia smiled bitterly and shrugged:

"He only said one word "东", and before he could say the rest, his soul was completely exhausted... If only I could have come two days earlier."

"...Don't think too much. It's already a great achievement that you found this place in time."

Lika patted Valencia on the shoulder to comfort her, and then mused:

"Dong...this word can point to too many places."

"Yeah, just thinking about the big picture, there are three goals."

Valencia nodded and stretched out her fingers one by one:

"First, the east of the Kingdom of France. Second, the east of the Misty Mountains. Third, the most mysterious eastern continent east of the sea."

"Hmm... It should be unlikely to be east of the Misty Mountains."

Lika thought for a while and said:

"As you know, the natural environment to the east of the Misty Mountains is a paradise for monsters. Basically, only humans above the Yao level will settle there.

In other words, people whose hometown is east of the Misty Mountains are either powerful people of the Brilliant Level, or they are relatives or disciples of powerful people of the Brilliant Level.That bastard can't even defeat me, and he doesn't dare to act wild in the Witch's Forest and the Council of Sages. "

"Makes sense."

Valencia approved.

"So the biggest possibility is the eastern part of the Kingdom and the Eastern Continent."

Rika continued:

"Next, I will focus on investigating from this clue. If you have the opportunity, you can also pay attention to the news about the eastern part of the kingdom and the news about the drifters in the eastern continent."

"I understand, Sister Rika."

After that, until it got dark, Valencia was discussing the direction of the investigation with Lika, waiting for the research team's preliminary conclusion, and providing protection for the research team.

"Why don't you go back first?"

When the moon rose to its highest point, Lika stopped talking and advised Valencia:
