Things about the female knight in black stockings

Suzuran stretched as she spoke:

"In that case, I'll just pretend I'm on vacation in the countryside."

. . . . .

The next morning, Valencia took Lily of the Valley through the Sacred Road to the city of Krall.

When she returned to Serkin Town this time, Valensa actually considered whether to take Melina with her, but in the end she chose to let Melina stay in the royal capital.

If this time she just went back to Serkin Town for a vacation, Valencia would definitely take Melina with her.

But even with the multiple insurance measures provided by the bald principal and the incubus Purple, Valencia still felt that this investigation mission would be dangerous. Melina, who had no fighting ability, of course stayed in the royal capital for safety.

"This mission is to investigate the reasons for the strange movements of those monsters and try to solve them, right?"

After walking out of the cathedral in Krall City, Suzuran looked at the border town in front of her with interest, which was completely different from the royal capital in style, and casually asked Valensa:

"Where are you going to start?"

"Of course I'm asking for information."

Valencia did not hesitate:

"Although many situations have been described in the letters written by the local adventurers guild to the royal capital, there are many things that I would like to hear from people who have personally experienced them."

"Well, that's a wise decision."

Suzuran nodded:

"Human beings are used to concealing something when reporting to superiors at any time...but it is those small details that they think are fine and then conceal them, which may eventually lead to catastrophe."

After saying that, Suzuran looked around again and then took the initiative to walk in one direction.

"Hey?"

Valencia pulled Suzuli with some doubts:

"Where are you going?"

"Inquire about information."

Suzuran glanced at Valencia strangely, and pointed to a very iconic building in the distance:

"Over there, it should be the Adventurer's Guild branch in this city, right?"

"Who told you that you have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to get information?"

Valencia smiled proudly and stretched out a finger to shake:

"Don't forget, this is a border town close to the Misty Mountains. Many young nobles like to be adventurers in search of excitement. Their grasp of the latest information is much more reliable than the increasingly exaggerated stories in the Adventurer Guild Hall. .”

"That's right...well, that makes sense."

Suzuran held her chin and thought for a moment, then nodded and looked at Valencia again:

"So? You also have young nobles with good connections here? They should also be some beautiful ladies who have been fooled by your sweet words, right?"

"Well...hehe, how can you call it cheating? I call it skillful making friends."

Valencia quibbled.

"Okay, okay, make friends with skills."

Suzuran didn't want to argue with Valencia:

"So? Are we going to find your friends now?"

"Well, asking them for information should be the quickest thing."

Valencia nodded, then rummaged around in the storage space a little embarrassedly, and found a hard-cover notebook:

"But I can't remember their names for a while...wait for me to look at the notes."

"What?"

Suzuran's eyes widened in disbelief:

"You can't even remember their names, but you still have the nerve to say you are good friends with them?"

"Of course we are good friends. After all, we have delighted the goddess with our joyful play in the holy water of the sun. We are in close contact at a negative distance!"

Valensa opened the notebook while arguing confidently:

"Yes, their names are Erte and Shilin... Well, let's go visit Shilin first. I remember she once lied in my arms and bragged to me, saying that her brother was a little famous adventurer. If you do, you might know some information."

"...Tsk, you are indeed a bad woman."

Suzuran glanced at Valencia with even more disgust, and subconsciously moved away from her, but she did not refuse her proposal.

The address of a noble family is easy to find out.

The two soon arrived at the door of Shilin's house, but found that the maids and attendants who entered and exited the courtyard looked in a hurry, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Valencia immediately called an attendant, claiming to be Shilin's friend, and expressed her willingness to visit.

The attendant looked at Valencia with confusion, obviously not recognizing Valencia.

But in this world where everyone believes in the sun goddess, Valencia's paladin costume is a very useful passport wherever she goes.

The attendant immediately invited Valencia and Suzuran into the courtyard before reporting to the master.

"...Miss Bader?"

Soon, there was first a haggard voice filled with surprise, then the sound of footsteps, and a burst of fragrant wind rushing towards Valencia:

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The hot figure with the scent of fragrance sprinted very fast. Unfortunately, Valencia was not wearing a dress today, but a set of paladin armor. Her embrace was not warm and soft, but rather hard.

Shilin wanted to throw herself into her arms for comfort, but she hit her head against the steel plate. Stars appeared in her eyes. Her already red eyes could no longer hold on, and she immediately started crying.

Valensa just wanted to comfort Shilin, but she didn't expect Shilin to wipe away her tears quickly. She looked at the Paladin armor that had just hit her face in pain and her eyes were filled with light:

"Miss Bader, you... are now a paladin? And this kind of armor... looks higher than the armor of the local paladin, so you must be a very powerful paladin, right?

Great, my brother should be saved now. "

Chapter 230 Death or social death?

After Shilin calmed down, Valencia said a lot herself before asking.

It was the right time for Valencia to come to Shilin for information, because Shilin's brother not only personally dealt with those strange monsters, but was also one of the victims.

As one of the well-known lighthouse-level adventurers in Krall City, when the Adventurer's Guild branch in the city organized a campaign to eliminate the monsters that came out of the Misty Mountains, Shilin's brother of course also participated and personally led a crusade team. .

As a result, he was unlucky. The team encountered a strong enemy and was almost wiped out. Only Shilin's brother escaped. He is still seriously injured in bed and has a high fever.

Under normal circumstances, adventurers can be saved by divine magic as long as they are not killed on the spot.

Of course, Shilin’s family immediately sent Shilin’s brother to the Church of the Sun for treatment. As a result, the healing magic not only failed to relieve Shilin’s brother’s pain, but actually made his condition worse.

It is no secret that there are some special injuries that cannot be cured by low- and mid-level magic. Therefore, Shilin’s family is trying to find a doctor while trying to mobilize their connections. They plan to invite high-level priests from big cities to treat Shilin. brother for treatment.

However, the local doctors in Kraer City were also helpless about Shilin's brother's condition. The people who went to invite high-level priests have not come back yet. Shilin's brother is almost unable to hold on and is now in critical condition.

The atmosphere in Shilin's house is extremely depressing now, that is, the head of the family has made preparations and ordered the maids and attendants to start preparing for Shilin's brother's funeral.

Although the relationship between Shilin and her brother is not as good as it was when they were children, they are still close relatives.

When her loved ones are dying, Shilin will naturally feel worried and haggard, but she will also be ecstatic after seeing hope.

Seeing Shilin hugging herself tightly as if grasping the last straw, Valencia smiled bitterly in her heart.

I am actually just an honorary knight, and the armor of divine rank I am wearing is just a mission reward. I really can’t explain it.

"Take us to see how your brother is doing first."

Valencia finally agreed to Shilin's request.

Her own level of healing magic is actually very average, but Suzuran's medical skills are so good that she might be able to save Shilin's brother's life.

Of course Shilin was ecstatic, holding Valencia's arm and walked to her brother's room.

On the way, they also met a noble couple with equally haggard faces. They were Shilin's parents who came after hearing the news.

Like Shilin, when the couple saw Valencia dressed as a paladin, they were like people about to fall into the abyss of despair who saw the last light. With red eyes, they begged Valensa to save her son, but they were very disappointed. Suzuran, who might be the real main force, didn't take it to heart at all.

Fortunately, Suzuran is not the kind of person who cares about fame.

After persuading Shilin's parents with a few polite words, Valencia and Suzuran quickly arrived at Shilin's brother's room.

The younger sister is a beauty, and the older brother is certainly not ugly. The aristocratic young man on the bed is quite handsome, but now his eyes are closed and his face is pale. If it weren't for the trace of blood that can still be seen on his lips, no one would be surprised to say that he is dead.

"Where was your brother injured?"

As soon as she started working, Suzuran took over the initiative from Valencia, and her temperament changed to something that could not be ignored. She did not look like a young girl at all, but more like an experienced middle-aged man.

Shilin's mouth suddenly opened wide. She always thought that Suzuran was just Valencia's little follower.

"Let me introduce you."

Valencia smiled slightly when she saw this:

“This is Suzulan, a member of my team, one of the best doctors in the capital, who is also proficient in necromancy and alchemy, and is best at treating injuries and illnesses that cannot be cured by low- to mid-level magic.

If you want to save your brother, you'd better tell Suzuran everything you know. "

"……I understand."

In fact, Shilin still finds it hard to believe in Suzuran, who looks very childish in appearance, but she believes in Valencia.

She quickly took off her brother's collar and pointed to a piece of skin on her shoulder that was obviously whiter and more tender than the surrounding areas:

"I heard from my brother that he was bitten by a leopard-shaped monster covered in black scales. His entire shoulder was bitten through, and he bled a lot, and his shirt was soaked through."

"...Well, they are indeed bite marks from large beasts."

Suzuran carefully observed Brother Shilin's shoulders for a few seconds, then frowned even more:

"But his injury has obviously been completely healed by divine magic, right?"

"Yes, after sending my brother to the cathedral, the priestess quickly healed his shoulder."

Shilin nodded, but her expression was still ugly:

“We all thought that my brother was fine, but we didn’t expect that he collapsed as soon as he got home. His body became hotter and weaker, and it was difficult to even stand.

My father quickly asked the priestess to come to his home for treatment again. Unexpectedly, this time the priestess had just launched the healing spell on his brother, and he screamed in pain, and his condition worsened. "

"Is that so..."

Linglan touched the completely healed wound on Brother Shilin's shoulder with her own hands, then opened Brother Shilin's eyelids and looked at her, her expression gradually becoming strange.

"Your brother probably didn't tell you the truth."

Linglan looked around, first went to close the door of the room tightly, and then looked at Shilin:

"The injury on his shoulder has long since healed without any problems. What is really tormenting him is another attack he suffered. I have to figure out what attacked him and where his injury is before I can save him. "

"This... we actually had doubts about it."

Shilin smiled bitterly:

"But when my brother was still conscious, no matter how I asked him, he insisted that the only injury on his body was the bite on his shoulder."

"Because his other injury is probably very difficult to talk about. If he talks about it, he will lose face...and many nobles value face more than their lives."

Lily of the valley stall:

"Actually, judging from his physical condition, I can probably guess some of the truth... But if we want to bring him back from the dead line, we must have his own cooperation.

After all, we are both outsiders and women... If we were present, your brother probably wouldn't tell the truth even if he died, so I still have to rely on you.

I will give your brother a special medicine later to keep him awake for a while... You must take the opportunity to ask the true nature of his injury. This is his last chance.

Unless a Yueyao-level priest comes to reshape his body, he won't survive tonight. "

"This...I understand."

Shilin's eyes quickly became firm:

"I will definitely ask my brother for the truth... Even if he dies in society without any face from now on, it is still better than turning into a corpse."
