The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess
Chapter Summary
Sure enough, even as the dwarf coachman drove tirelessly towards their destination, the sky began to darken. If I'm not mistaken, his status in the dwarf kingdom should be quite high, although this is just my guess... Lobert Baron's castle, I took a deep breath and then, in one go, strode towards the wooden door that had been modified to be about 1.
And so, with two unanimous neighs of horses, all that could be heard was the clatter of the carriage wheels moving.
The carriage began to move slowly.
Sure enough, even as the dwarf coachman drove tirelessly towards their destination, the sky began to darken.
Because it was a cloudy day, the sun was not visible in the sky...
therefore, there was no sunset, and naturally, it got dark very quickly.
The dwarf coachman came to a marked crossroads and stopped.
"arrive?
"At this point, I asked, somewhat puzzled.
However, the surrounding environment is really desolate.
I didn't see even a small cabin, let alone Mr.
Robette Baron.
So I wonder if the dwarf coachman has led us astray, or if he has some ulterior motive for us?
"No, but I'm sorry, ladies, I can only take you this far.
"At this point, the dwarf carriage driver couldn't help but apologize to us.
"Eh?
Why?
"If that's the case, there must be some problem; otherwise, following the normal procedure, it should have been delivered to its destination.
“I can’t go any further ahead, but the destination isn’t far.
You see, just a few kilometers to the east, and you’ll see a dark castle.
That’s Mr.
Robert Baron’s house… Of course, I’ll go to a tavern nearby for a meal and buy some hay.
I’ll be back at this crossroads in about two hours and I’ll be waiting for you here.
”It seems that the dwarf coachman does indeed have some unspeakable difficulties.
"Alright then, let's get off the bus, Xiaobai, Lila.
"Although we were somewhat reluctant, we had no choice but to get off this comfortable carriage.
I feel that even offering more money wouldn't be enough to persuade this coachman.
"But it's still several kilometers away...
and we can't even see the house from here.
"At this moment, Lila said somewhat reluctantly.
"Come on, let's go early and come back early.
Maybe there's something ahead.
"At this moment, I turned my gaze to the dwarf carriage driver.
“Indeed, Robette Baron always seems to have some strange occurrences, like livestock traps or drugs that can irritate pets.
I almost lost both of my horses, so it’s really not safe to go any further.
Please understand.
”It seems that this Mr.
Robette Baron is indeed a bit strange and does things rather oddly.
I just hope that nothing else goes wrong when we get to his house.
And so we climbed down from the carriage and then had to walk slowly on our own two legs toward Mr.
Robert Baron’s house.
Chapter 72 The Residence of Mr.
Robert BaronAs the sky grew darker, the further east we went, the more eerie the atmosphere became.
At this moment, the surrounding trees were no longer as tall, straight and sturdy as before.
Instead, they resembled old men, all hunched over and looking as if they might come back to life at any moment.
And the cawing of glossy black crows echoed from the sky, giving the whole place the feel of being in front of a vampire castle.
At this moment, Lila gripped my clothes tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Honestly, if I didn't have the fearlessness and strength I have now, I would have turned around and left this hellhole.
But for my unique, powerful, and invincible magic staff, well, I'm going to risk it all.
Even the most eccentric person can't do anything to me, a figure who's practically a goddess.
Even if they want to catch me, I can just blow up their entire house and all their traps.
Furthermore, I am immune to illusions and magic like smoke.
It's really difficult to restrict my movements unless you're a god or demigod of equal rank to me.
Because, to be honest, my current strength...
is something even I can't assess; it's just incredibly strong.
And so, after we passed through countless eerie and terrifying forests, it was indeed dark.
But unexpectedly, as soon as it got dark, the mining lamps suddenly lit up all around and led to a house in the distance.
Although the streetlights can provide a general view of the surroundings, they are still not bright enough.
It seems this place is indeed within the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom...
otherwise, these streetlights wouldn't have been built.
Furthermore, this road must have been built at great expense.
If I'm not mistaken, his status in the dwarf kingdom should be quite high, although this is just my guess...
Since that's the case, I'll try to be as polite as possible to people who are described as strange, and not get angry.
But if I really get angry...
really, I might do things I never even imagine myself doing.
About ten minutes later, we finally saw a building that looked a bit like an ancient castle in some kind of terrifying forest.
Unlike ordinary houses that are square and regular, it was twisted and deformed like a monster.
In addition, the lights inside the room shone through the windows at night, which made it even more terrifying.
"Looks like...
we've arrived.
"At this moment, Lila clutched her chest, her body trembling even more violently, indicating that her fear had intensified.
If a stray cat suddenly appeared at this moment...
hahaha, I think she would be scared half to death.
Now that we're here, I won't stand on ceremony.
Let's head towards the main entrance.
But this iron gate is really too big...
It must be at least five or six meters high, plus the steel walls around it...
Ha, really, it does have the feel of a wealthy family's house.
Since I didn't see any doorbells around, I realized I couldn't call out to Mr.
Lobert Baron in the normal way.
So now all we can do is try to open this huge iron gate with our own abilities, and hopefully it's not locked.
At this moment, I stretched out my hands and used half of my strength to push it inward.
Just as I expected, it wasn't locked; instead, the blankets were slowly pushed open.
However, if a skinny little girl like Lila came over, I feel that even if I used all my strength, it would be difficult to push her away, haha.
At this moment, we slowly walked into the courtyard of Mr.
Robert Baron.
The courtyard didn't have many extra flowers or plants.
Judging from the faint light that had just pierced through the clouds, it was clear that Mr.
Robette Baron wasn't very good at tending to the courtyard.
However, the distance from the courtyard entrance to the old castle in front is quite far; it took us about five or six minutes to walk there.
"Hmm...
Ivy, it's really too far.
"At this moment, Lila seemed to have her fear overcome by exhaustion, and she began to talk to me.
Indeed, I am quite tired.
Although I have such good athletic ability now, this walk has made me feel a little tired.
However, Xiaobai next to me seemed quite energetic.
It seems that she usually sleeps a lot, so if I really take her out, it will definitely have a great effect.
I really envy my carefree and carefree life as a newbie...
When we arrived at the dilapidated gate of Mr.
Lobert Baron's castle, I took a deep breath and then, in one go, strode towards the wooden door that had been modified to be about 1.
8 meters high.
"Da da da.
"At that moment, I knocked on the wooden door and it made a very crisp sound.
Although it's a wooden door, it definitely requires some force to open such a large, old castle.
After waiting for about two minutes, I thought I heard footsteps coming downstairs.
The footsteps sounded rather heavy; it seems this magical craftsman, Mr.
Robert Baron, must be a heavyweight.
Just then, the familiar sound of the bell rang out once again.
It seems the 7 PM curfew has already begun.
Sigh, I never expected it to take so long on the road.
If I had known, I would have arrived early tomorrow morning and reached my destination by noon at the latest.
"Who is it that's knocking on my door right after curfew?
"As they were speaking, a "click" was heard, the sound of a lock being opened.
Then, after hearing countless clanging and clattering sounds, the wooden door of the ancient castle was finally knocked open.
This door seems to be something special, because a metal door is not aesthetically pleasing, so it seems that the inside of this door is indeed made of metal.
Furthermore, there should be some kind of mechanism or lock inside this door.
It may seem ordinary, but it does provide a beautiful and sturdy defense.
It seems that Mr.
Lobert Baron is indeed a craftsman who gives me some peace of mind.
Then, a dwarf witch with an unusually large head peered at us.
When her big eyes finally saw the three of us, just as we were about to speak, she didn't even give us a chance and slammed the door shut.
Then all that could be heard was the "click-clack" sound of the metal lock locking itself again.
The three of us were thus completely locked out without any prior knowledge of the situation.
Chapter 73 Making a Decision from Three ChoicesAs the three of us stood there dumbfounded in front of the door, I seemed to hear a deep sigh coming from inside the castle, as if it were a sound of utter helplessness.
I originally thought Robette Baron was a man's name...
but it turns out she's an old woman!
= =.
“Um…Grandma Lobert, I…”Since she hadn't gone far, I decided to just state my intentions directly.
If it really doesn't work out, then leaving here won't change anything.
At least when I leave, I won't be left feeling particularly speechless or regretful.
