The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"Alright, since you're here to help this city, you've passed the first test, little girl. Now, let me introduce myself thoroughly."

As she spoke, old lady Robert Baron, who had been sitting on the huge, soft sofa, stood up and continued speaking in a serious tone.

“My name is as you know, Robette Baron, and as you can see, I am not a dwarf.”

"Hmm... indeed, if I'm not mistaken, you must be a witch."

Actually, I once came across the witch clan by chance in a book.

She must have been incredibly beautiful in her youth, and possessed magical power far exceeding that of any other race.

However, it is precisely because of this magical constitution that they have such a long lifespan. As the saying goes, this is what is meant by an immortal witch.

However, it is said that the demons hate this race and consider it an obstacle to their struggle for the world, so the first race they chose to eliminate was this one.

Nowadays, the term "witch" has become a legend and a mythical tale in books.

To be able to see it with my own eyes now is truly the luckiest thing ever.

"Hahaha, as expected, nothing can escape your eyes, little girl. That's right, I am the last descendant of the witches in this world, known as the ethereal witch Robette, and I have lived for about three hundred years."

"More than three hundred years!"

Upon hearing this, Lila couldn't help but get up from the soft sofa, her mouth agape in surprise.

"Yes, my lovely child, you have indeed lived a very long time, but..."

Just then, she suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"This silver-haired little girl, to tell you the truth, the reason I drove you away is because the terrifying magic within you has disturbed the sleeping witch in the Witch Forest. It's understood that nothing like this has happened for thousands of years, so I'm very afraid of what will happen next. I hope you can understand."

At that moment, old lady Lobert Baron did indeed bow her head to me and apologize.

"No...it's nothing. Please look up, Grandma Lobert Baron. Actually, I just wanted to forge a handy magic staff. I won't be staying here for long, so please don't worry."

Honestly, I never expected her to apologize to me. This is really too much for a young person like me.

"No, perhaps the sleeping witches want something. In that case, I'll grant your request and make you a magic wand with this magic core. But you have to answer one question and find that thing before I'll make it for you."

"what is the problem?"

Indeed, this old woman, Lobert Baron, was a bit eccentric, but after living for so long, it's understandable that she was a little strange.

Since that's the case, then I'll answer her question... because, to be honest, getting the weapons is the most important thing right now.

But what exactly does she want to ask...? I just hope it's not too difficult. If I can't answer it and she doesn't make me a magic wand, then all my previous efforts will have been wasted.

What is the witch's favorite thing?

"gold……"

However, the moment she asked the question, I blurted out my answer.

"This... could it be that you're a witch too?"

Upon hearing my answer, old lady Lobert Baron's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hahaha, I am not a witch, but in my hometown, there is a saying that witches have always been deeply in love with gold."

I couldn't help but scratch the back of my head and say with a silly grin.

Actually, I don't know why I know the answer. If I didn't, I might have returned empty-handed and lost my only chance.

But, I seem to know somewhere that witches like gold, but I don't know exactly where that is...

“Correct answer… In that case, go and find gold, no matter how big or small it is.”

At this moment, old lady Robert Baron picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, because she knew I wouldn't just blurt out the answer.

"Will this one be okay?"

As I spoke, I took out a coin—a currency that was not accepted in the Dwarf Kingdom—from another purse in my waist pouch. That's right, it was a gold coin, and then handed it to her.

Seriously, if a single gold coin could be used to create a superior magic staff crafted by the most skilled magician in the dwarf kingdom, Na would be getting a free bargain.

Grandma Lobert Baron then took the gold coin from my hand, gathered her powerful magic in her palm, and instantly my gold coin turned into something like the stone block from before.

"It really is gold...!"

At this moment, old lady Robert Baron was stunned. She held the gold coin I had given her tightly and stared at me in disbelief.

Perhaps they were surprised that something that should have taken ten days or half a month to obtain was acquired by me in an instant.

Hehe, that's so me ( ^▽^ ).

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Witch's Forest

Indeed, all gold trade is prohibited in the Dwarf Kingdom.

It was assumed that the dwarves of the Dwarf Kingdom were skilled at mining ore and gold, thus having a very high gold flow.

But now gold is explicitly banned... This is truly unexpected.

And since this old woman, Lobert Baron, is a witch, she must have a special fondness for gold.

What she gave to President Feline should have been a statue made of gold, but she used her power to turn it into an ordinary stone.

This was so that no one would discover that it was made of gold.

The fact that she entrusted her most beloved gold statue to President Felin is enough to prove that President Felin holds a significant place in her heart.

"Alright, now that I've accepted the payment, come with me."

With that, old woman Lobert Baron turned around and slowly walked away from the door in the room.

"Then Ivy, you go ahead. Little White and I will wait here."

Perhaps she knew that even if she came with us, she wouldn't be of much help.

Plus, I've walked such a long way, and this sofa is so comfortable... so I don't want to leave anytime soon, and I might even want to fall asleep.

Honestly, if I didn't need someone's help, I would definitely be lying on this soft sofa and fast asleep.

Unfortunately... = = My most important thing right now is to get a staff that suits me. Since he is the most outstanding magic craftsman in the entire dwarf kingdom, he will definitely be able to get the magic staff I want.

If even she can't do it, then I'll really feel a bit disappointed in this world.

Yes, this old woman, Lobert Baron, is all my hope!

So I quickly got up, put the giant black lizard's magic core back into the bag on my back, and followed behind old woman Lobert Baron.

At this point, we passed through house after house, with various kinds of medieval armor in front of us, and exquisitely crafted staffs behind us.

Moreover, each staff appears to be forged from special materials, and they should all fetch a considerable price.

However, old woman Lobert Baron did not sell these staffs as commodities; she treated them merely as decorations and ornaments.

Upon entering the next room, I was instantly stunned by a magical force that combined hot and cold.

Because such powerful energy shouldn't come from humans or living creatures, if I'm not mistaken, it should be from magic wands and staffs imbued with powerful magic.

Sure enough, the new room felt vastly superior to the previous one, and if it were for sale, the magic wands and staffs inside would fetch astronomical prices.

"Could it be that all the staffs here were made by you, Granny Robette?"

Honestly, this really shocked me.

Indeed, it is no exaggeration to call this witch, Lobert Baron, the most powerful magical craftswoman.

"Haha, yes, that room just now contained the magic wands and staffs I made in my early days. Back then, I was just a clueless child. This room, on the other hand, was forged after I awakened the power of the Witch's Heart. Each one was made with my heart. Of course, my old partner, the dwarf craftsman known as the God General, also contributed to this."

"And your spouse is now..."

Seriously, they're over three hundred years old. What other race besides witches could live that long?

This can only prove that her husband is very likely no longer alive.

So I only said half of what I wanted to say.

"He's probably out drinking in town and hasn't come back yet. Honestly, that guy never follows the curfew. He's been dragged home by the soldiers several times."

It's clear that old lady Lobert Baron is quite happy.

This proves that her family is quite harmonious and she is living a happy life.

However, since her husband is known as a dwarven master craftsman, it must mean he has forged god-level weapons.

Sigh, I'm really looking forward to finding out what my magic wand will look like and what kind of power it will have.

When we opened the next door, a forest that looked like something out of a fantasy fairy tale appeared right in front of us.

At this moment, a ray of bright moonlight illuminated the entire forest, and countless fireflies flew freely in the air, making this forest, which should have been quiet, particularly vibrant.

"This is the Witch's Forest. Little girl, you must stay close to me, otherwise you might be led astray by the restless witch."

"okay."

Although I possess the Eye of the Void God, I don't need to care about these things at all.

However, the witches in the Witch Forest are all the souls of witches after their deaths. If guided by it, although it might contain a trace of illusion, it shouldn't be considered an illusion.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, and to prove that I am still a good kid.

So they complied with what this old woman, Lobert Baron, said.

I'm afraid that if I run around everywhere, she won't be willing to make me a magic wand when I come back, and then I'll be at a huge loss.
