The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess
Chapter Summary
"Sure enough, the tall goblin was very clever, because they didn't know what the prices were like here, and all they could do was ask me how much I was willing to pay. If I had quoted a price directly from the beginning, they might have been in a very bad mood if it was too low, because after all, they came from the southernmost part of the world; if it was too high, and I just turned around and left, wouldn't I have suddenly lost the buyers I had finally found? After walking for about ten minut...
"Your Highness, how much money are you willing to pay to take away our gunpowder?
"Sure enough, the tall goblin was very clever, because they didn't know what the prices were like here, and all they could do was ask me how much I was willing to pay.
If I had quoted a price directly from the beginning, they might have been in a very bad mood if it was too low, because after all, they came from the southernmost part of the world; if it was too high, and I just turned around and left, wouldn't I have suddenly lost the buyers I had finally found?
Therefore, this tall goblin was indeed very wise.
"Is this enough?
" I said, stepping forward and placing three gold coins directly into the hand of the gang leader.
"Wow, it's gold coins!!!
"At this moment, the goblin leader's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the three gold coins.
Then he quickly gritted his teeth and blew on the coin to check its authenticity.
As it turned out, the three gold coins were indeed genuine.
"That……""Wait, three gold coins are still a bit too few.
How about you add one more?
"Sure enough, their price was indeed three gold coins, which I felt was quite reasonable, because they didn't overcharge, but rather set the price at a reasonable level.
Since that's the case, and the price is quite reasonable, let's move on to the next step of my plan.
"That's possible, but I also want to hire you to sell us your gunpowder principles and help me manufacture gunpowder.
How about twelve gold coins?
"Indeed, twelve gold coins are enough for them to live a life of luxury in the tavern, which is exactly what they want.
"Twelve gold coins!!!
"Upon hearing this, the goblin leader's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and then he jumped up.
"That's right, it's twelve gold coins.
The human kingdom is currently under siege by the Demon King's army, so we desperately need your help.
Therefore, I implore you to help us.
"Since there is danger, it is only natural that I have to bow down to them.
In any case, they are now a very big breakthrough point.
“Deal, of course it’s a deal.
My name is Ding Manou, and I’m the leader of these goblins.
From today onwards, we’ll be your subordinates, but…”"Hey, bro.
"Seeing that his elder brother, the goblin leader Dingmanou, had agreed so readily, the tall goblin suddenly looked somewhat helpless.
Perhaps they could have raised the price further, but this incompetent goblin leader has blocked it, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
"However, about that money...
"At this moment, the goblin leader was rubbing his hands together, looking at me with eager anticipation.
It seemed they were truly obsessed with money.
"I have the money right now, but you'll need to sign a contract with me first.
Is that alright?
""Of course, no problem.
I knew this was a big deal, so naturally, we have a contract.
"As they spoke, they took out something that looked like a scroll and handed it to me.
Then I unbuttoned the top button and took a closer look.
I never expected that the fruit of the sacred tree would be so useful.
I never expected that I could actually understand the goblin script...
and I also confirmed that it was indeed a lease agreement, with their signatures and handprints on it.
Furthermore, the Eye of the Void God did not detect any trace of magical deception, therefore, these goblins are quite honest.
"Very well, since that's the case, then let me see your strength.
"At that moment, a very wicked smile instantly appeared on my face.
Chapter Sixty-Three: Searching for Bomb Casing Materials While Searching for Dragon WingsWhen the goblins saw my expression, they seemed to sense something was wrong, but since the contract was in my hands, they had no way to refuse.
"Um...
now that you have the contract, what about the money?
""I will pay you back when the time comes.
I will pay you in full after you have finished doing the work for me.
"If I give them the remaining nine gold coins now, even with the contract, it will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, I'd rather let them finish the job for me, and then I'll pay them.
That would be much better.
"Alright, alright, Your Highness, what do you need so much gunpowder for?
"Left with no other choice, although I had received three gold coins, it was far from enough for them to live a happy life.
However, since I had become their employer, they naturally had to ask me what I wanted from them.
"Alright then, you can turn all the gunpowder on your backs into the most powerful bombs possible.
""The most astonishing bomb?!
What are you going to do?
"Upon hearing this, the goblin leader Dingmanou's eyes widened instantly, and he said in disbelief.
"That's right, this amount of explosive powder could flatten even two cities, let alone an entire one...
"At this moment, the tall goblin also hurriedly spoke up.
"Sigh, I told you to do it, so why are you making so many demands?
"I quickly became impatient.
"Okay, okay, we'll do it right away.
"Seeing that I was a little angry, they didn't dare to say anything more and could only start making what I called incredibly powerful bombs.
However, they should only have gunpowder, and the outer casing should not have been used.
So where did they get it from?
"Luca, let's get to work.
""Ah...
yes!
"At this moment, a somewhat obese goblin, who had probably fallen asleep while listening to our conversation, was suddenly jolted awake from her sweet dream, and even the bubbles coming out of her nose burst on the spot.
It hurriedly scrambled to its feet, then looked around, only relaxing when it saw us.
"I told you not to sleep on the road, honestly, why didn't you listen?
"At this moment, the goblin leader hurriedly reprimanded him.
"Sorry, sorry, the long journey is really tiring, brother, I'll go find the materials right away.
"As he spoke, the goblin took out a monocle from his pouch.
I could clearly feel that it was inscribed with runes and carried a faint trace of magic.
It seems this thing is definitely a magical item.
At this moment, it adjusted the gears on the single eye a few times, and then looked around again.
"Found it!
There are materials for making bomb casings underground, just 600 meters ahead.
"After about two or three minutes, Luca hurriedly said.
"Very well, let's go.
"And so, I followed all the goblins and began to walk briskly toward this so-called six hundred meters.
Seriously, I didn't expect this magical item to be so useful, and it can quickly find the materials I need underground.
Could it help me find the Dragon Wings of Binlabella?
"Speaking of which, this item of yours is a magical item, right?
It looks really powerful.
"At that moment, I quickly praised Luca's magical glasses.
"That's right.
In the entire goblin village, only five people have these glasses, and I'm one of them.
As long as it's not too far away, I can find whatever I want to search for.
"However, this Luca made no attempt to hide it or be humble at all, describing his magical item as something miraculous.
In that case, why not ask it to help me find the Dragon Wings of Binlabella?
I wonder if what it says is really that miraculous.
"Is that so?
Then help me find something nearby, and I'll admit that your magical item is quite powerful.
Otherwise, it's just an ordinary shop item.
"It doesn't think its magical glasses are that powerful, so I deliberately provoke it, and then it will naturally start searching for things for me.
"Hmph, you dare to underestimate our detection goggles?
Fine, tell me what you're looking for, and I'll find it for you right now!
"At this point, Luca suddenly got a little angry and quickly put his hands on his hips and said...
But it had no idea that it had already fallen for my scheme to sow discord, hehehe.
"I need you to find me a wing, something very large, at least two meters long.
"Then I gave a general description of the shape, size, and color of Binlabella's wings.
"Okay, I'll find it for you right away.
Just wait.
"As he spoke, Luca adjusted the magical probing glasses on his eyes again and began looking around.
However, this time it took a rather long time because, to be honest, the dragon wings weren't very thick, so only a large piece landed on the ground.
Therefore, it is indeed very difficult to find.
"Found it, it's on the way.
""Really?
"This really surprised and delighted me, because it actually saved me a lot of time.
Seriously, time is money.
If I really find them, haha, hiring them would be a huge profit for me.
After walking for about ten minutes, sure enough, a broken dragon wing appeared in front of us, stuck between two large trees, and the blood had already begun to congeal.
However, it's already good enough that we've found it now.
"Wow, it's so big.
"
