The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Chapter Seventy: Finding Clues to the Magic Craftsman

Although Lila's strength has increased significantly compared to before, I could already sense it during the test in the territory protected by the Gray Wolf God.

Unfortunately... she's currently only at the intermediate level of magic, specifically the intermediate-level spell "Heavenly Water Scattering Flowers." At her age, anyone of similar strength should already be able to use advanced magic.

Therefore, she can't continue like this.

However, I went to great lengths to get her to learn the Heavenly Water Scattering Flower technique, and now I want her to comprehend high-level water-attribute magic. How am I supposed to find such a place?

Well, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, she can't escape. When we get to the Red Dragon Clan's territory, I'll make sure she learns a high-level spell. Otherwise, I always feel like some people will think that I'm so powerful, while the people around me are so weak...

I definitely don't want it!

"Well... Ivy, I think I'd better not. You see, I've become much stronger now, that's enough, more than enough."

Upon hearing my words, Lila shuddered and then tried to run away, trembling.

However, I saw right through her little scheme and grabbed her by the collar, then dragged her back.

"No, no, Ivy, you're going too far! I don't want to practice, I don't want to practice."

When this arrogant blonde girl with a big head realized she couldn't escape, she immediately started kicking her short legs and running around happily.

But it was no use, because my mind was made up; I had to make her stronger.

Sure enough, you can't fight city hall. After my repeated "persuasion" and "love," Lila, who had been resisting, finally gave in.

"However, I won't let you train right now. I need to find some high-level spells that suit you first."

Seriously, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have magic wands and staves, so I should at least have a suitable weapon first.

In that case, I need a highly skilled and incredibly talented dwarven magic craftsman to forge me a magic staff. After all, this enormous magic core should be able to make a superior or even top-tier staff. If I find an ordinary craftsman and he comes back with some garbage, I'll really be at a huge loss.

Because such a complete magic core isn't something you can find easily.

In that case... where am I supposed to find such a powerful person in this unfamiliar dwarf kingdom?

This left me feeling somewhat at a loss.

However, at that moment, I seemed to spot a familiar figure. That's right, isn't that President Felin?

She, who had always stayed in his Adventurers' Guild office, suddenly came out today. What happened? This surprised me a bit.

"President Felin."

At this moment, I grabbed Xiaobai and Lila's soft little hands, and then ran directly towards President Felin who was walking ahead.

"Ah, it's Ivy! What a coincidence!"

At first, President Feline was a little stunned, but then she relaxed and couldn't help but sigh.

"Um, President Felin, what are you doing here?"

Since that's the case, let's ask first.

"Here's the thing, I'm planning to report the defeat of the giant black lizard to the Dwarf Kingdom's castle. As everyone knows, it was you who defeated the giant black lizard, so I need to report it. I also need to send my men to the surrounding villages to see if there are any new bounty missions to be taken care of. Anyway, there's quite a lot going on. What are you all doing?"

At this moment, President Feilin asked in a rather amiable manner.

"Ah, I just finished lunch with Lila and Xiaobai."

Indeed, being the president of the Adventurers' Guild is not as simple as just sitting in an office. If there is any major event, he also has to summon all the members of the Adventurers' Guild to come and help. It is not an easy job.

"Speaking of which, President Felin, do you know any highly respected magic craftsmen in this dwarf kingdom? Actually, I'd like to forge a powerful magic staff."

It was at this moment that I realized the most important thing right now was to forge this magic staff.

A magician who can unleash powerful magic definitely needs a handy magic staff. If you don't even have a staff, well... I feel that even if you are famous overseas, in the eyes of outsiders, you are just a nobody.

Therefore, having a seemingly cool magic wand will definitely make people think that I am very powerful.

Actually, I am quite strong.

"Ah, you mean the magic craftsman... Well, there are actually two to choose from. One is closer to here, but it's expensive and the craftsmanship isn't as good as the other one."

"Uh...why? Is it because the price is too high and the craftsmanship isn't as good as the other shop? How can you possibly have any business?"

Upon hearing this, Lila immediately asked about the key point.

"Ah, that's true. However, the people at that other family are a bit eccentric, and the location is quite remote. So, to avoid dealing with such people, people usually choose the other family, the one whose magical craftsmanship isn't perfect. So, Lady Ivy, you can choose whichever family you like. However, if you go to that eccentric family, you might end up empty-handed, so you should think it over carefully."

Indeed, if you're likely to return empty-handed, choosing the closer option is a bit more prudent.

However, I still want the best. If the magic craftsman's work isn't that good, and then he casts a super-level or even epic-level spell upon returning, causing the staff to shatter and burn to ashes like the magic staff I took from the pig-headed baron... then I might as well put in more effort and even spend more money to get a more perfect magic staff.

"Please tell me the address of that rather eccentric magical craftsman."

Honestly, this is the result of my careful consideration. Although I'm a bit conflicted and don't want to waste time, I have no choice but to go all out for the best magic wand.

"Alright, I knew you'd choose her magical handicrafts, Ivy."

As she spoke, President Feline took out a statue with a very strange image printed on it from her waist and threw it directly at me.

Is this a monster with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the arms and legs of a mantis, possibly a bear-like creature?

There was a line written on it that was very beautifully written, and it looked like an English signature. It was probably done with a special process... I don't know what kind of process it was.

"Lobert Baron, the name of this magical craftsman, is located in a castle-like house at the eastern end of the Kingdom of Lovers. If you have this item, it should be of some help to you."

With that, President Feline smiled at us and then turned and left.

Chapter Seventy-One: Heading to Mr. Robert Baron's Residence

Now that we know Mr. Lobert Baron's name and address, we can't waste any more time and delay any longer.

In fact, the eastern and western parts of the Dwarf Kingdom are much larger than the northern and southern parts. The city center of the Dwarf Kingdom, which is where I am now, is basically a quarter of the way from the eastern and western parts. In other words, this journey is quite long.

If I take a taxi there now, and there's no traffic, I should be able to get there by early evening.

If anything goes wrong, we'll have to wait until it's completely dark before we get there.

So, without saying a word, I hailed a horse-drawn carriage, yes, the kind that wasn't so thin.

Because the dwarves had suffered from famine for so long, not only the people but also the horses were extremely thin. In that case, they could only select some horses that were still relatively strong. Otherwise, those thin horses would definitely need to rest after running for an hour, which would be a huge waste of time.

These two horses should indeed be considered to have been able to eat very good hay during the famine; otherwise, they would definitely look like those emaciated horses.

But this dwarf groom... sigh, he's really skinny as a stick.

I never imagined that dwarves could be this thin.

“These three young ladies really have good taste; they chose my carriage.”

As soon as we got into the carriage, the coachman spoke up.

"how do I say this?"

"Haha, really, these two are my beloved horses. Even when I am starving, I cannot let them go hungry. And now, in this dwarf kingdom, it is rare to find such strong horses as my two."

"Is it……"

Ha, this dwarf groom is starting to brag about himself.

That makes sense. I've seen over a dozen carriages on this road, and only this one has horses that are somewhat normal; the rest are simply not capable of running long distances.

“We need Mr. Robert Baron this time. Your horse should be able to take us there.”

"Ah, no... what? Robette Baron? Good heavens, what are you ladies doing in that godforsaken place?"

The dwarf groom, who had been quite calm, raised his voice and shouted loudly after hearing my destination.

"Uh... is there anything wrong with this?"

"That guy is insane! You're all so lovely, so please be careful. He's capable of doing some really outrageous things!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lobert Baron has such an evaluation.

However, I have to go this time, whether I want to or not, because my mind is made up.

"Let's set off."

I completely ignored the dwarf groom's words and calmly replied.

"Yes...yes, but I need to pay extra."

Sure enough, this guy is a shrewd businessman; he probably said that to get more money.

"Tell me, how much?"

Actually, I'm not short of money at all, because the silver coins I have left are enough for us to eat and drink well every day for at least a year.

"Hmm... In that case, how about one silver coin for the round trip? I'll wait for you to come back, even if you stay overnight."

Actually, a silver coin is quite expensive.

However, the dwarf coachman was willing to wait rather than return empty-handed.

However, considering that the carriage is quite clean and comfortable, and the horses are also very strong, I don't think it's a bad deal to spend this silver coin.

"Okay, you can pay me afterwards, right?"

"No problem, let's set off then."

Judging from his tone, the dwarf carriage driver seemed quite happy. In that case, he probably wouldn't lead us anywhere.

Even if he's kidnapped, even without my intervention, my precious Lila and werewolf Xiaobai can beat him half to death.
