The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, it is quite far from here to William's carriage. How should I get there?

Forget it, let's just find another carriage. We're not short of money anyway.

And so, I took Lila's soft, tender little hand and led her out.

"Your Highness Ivy."

However, as soon as I stepped outside, I heard a familiar voice, and then a military wagon came rushing toward us without stopping.

"Ah, it's Baal."

But it's been a long time since I've seen that dwarf soldier Baal...

"Your Highness Ivy, what are you doing?"

Without saying a word, he jumped off the carriage and asked with a smile, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"I'm... um?"

Suddenly, I realized that Bal's clothes had changed.

The old, valuable soldier's armor has now been replaced by high-quality leather armor.

"Haha, because of Your Highness Ivy, I was promoted and now I'm working as an intelligence agent."

Barr seemed to sense my confusion and quickly explained.

"I see."

Ha, I didn't expect this guy to get promoted because of me. He's actually quite good.

"What are you and Miss Lila doing here, Your Highness Ivy?"

"Well, Bal, I'd like to go to the street under Duke Harman's jurisdiction. Is it on your way?"

If we can save some money, let's save some. Really, I know it's not easy to make money.

"Ah, perfect timing. I was just about to investigate the ruins of Duke Harman's house. Please come on up."

"That's wonderful, I'm so grateful."

Haha, I can't believe how lucky I am today! This way, I don't have to take Lila to the town center to hail a taxi. I'm so lucky!

And so, with two clear neighs of horses, we began to travel at full speed toward William's destination.

Chapter 161 Another Visit to the Noble Clothing Store

However, the carriages provided in this royal city are truly excellent.

Although the bear-drawn carriage provided by the Grey Wolf God was quite good, its shock absorption was far inferior to that of the specially crafted carriage.

Seriously, if that carriage or bear-drawn cart were to encounter any rocks or potholes on land, we would all be thrown into the air...

This carriage, however, was completely different. Even in the aforementioned situation, it would only sway slightly and would not be thrown off course.

However, this is a carriage specially dispatched by the royal city, so it is quite sturdy. Therefore, it is not very reliable to expect such a carriage.

The main problem is that it's made entirely of heavy metal, so it doesn't run very fast, which wastes a lot of time.

Since that's the case, I won't say much more about how comfortable it is. After all, it's already quite good that the dwarf soldier Baal was willing to give us a ride, and for free at that.

After about half an hour, we finally passed by the small town next to the ruins of Duke Harman.

"Your Highness Ivy, Your Highness Lila, I'll leave you here. Is that alright?"

At this moment, Baal looked at the carriage that had stopped and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, no problem, this place is just right, and the rest of the journey is quite short."

Honestly, it would only take five or six minutes to get to that intersection at most, so it's already pretty good that they were able to pick us up here.

"Haha, actually I wanted to take you to your destination, but this job is a bit complicated and quite urgent..."

However, Barr seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, you go ahead with your work."

And so, I grabbed Lila's hand again, opened the carriage door, and stepped out.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, I felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

However, I was a little puzzled because Lila was unusually quiet today, which made me feel like she wasn't herself.

"Lila, why are you talking like that today?"

At this moment, I asked with a puzzled look.

"No... I'm just still reeling from that smell, it was just too awful!"

At this point, Lila finally couldn't hold back and said somewhat angrily.

"Haha, sorry, I'd completely forgotten about that."

Honestly, we originally thought that the temperature in the Dwarf Kingdom was quite low. If we were to estimate roughly, the daytime temperature would only be around ten degrees Celsius, and at night it would basically drop below zero.

Therefore, food doesn't spoil that quickly.

However, over time, even food placed in the refrigerator will spoil.

Therefore, the bear car, which has no preservation function, would naturally rot and spoil.

Moreover, I feel that the dried meat from before is no longer edible.

This is really a waste of resources, it's such a waste!

"Lila, I'll go buy some clothes next."

"Hmm? Ivy, you're actually interested in buying clothes?"

Upon hearing this, the ahoge (cowlick) on Lila's big golden head twitched, showing that she was quite happy.

"Well, our clothes are all worn out, why don't we get some new ones? We definitely have enough money."

At this moment, I said with great confidence.

"Alright then, since you're willing to buy me new clothes, I'll agree... But don't get me wrong, I'm not that happy about it."

At this moment, Lila suddenly became arrogant for some reason.

However, the tuft of hair on her head betrayed her, proving that she was actually very happy.

So, because she's so concerned about her image, I didn't expose her true feelings.

And so, we first went to the luxury clothing store that I had visited before.

Because the clothes they make are indeed quite beautiful and very high-end.

Although the price is a bit high, you get what you pay for.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is indeed quite good.

Besides, I'm rich now, so I don't need to worry about the price anymore.

Most importantly, I was so relaxed and content eating fruit and resting before.

So I'd like to rest here for a bit.

And so, I pushed open the door to this aristocratic clothing store.

"welcome."

However, as soon as I stepped in, I was immediately surrounded by shop assistants, all of whom bowed to me.

"Ah, young lady, you've come again. Welcome to our shop once more. May I ask what kind of clothing you'd like to order this time?"

At this moment, the dwarf shopkeeper who had greeted us earlier slowly walked over from the back of the table.

"Could you please make me a few suitable casual outfits this time?"

At this moment, I spoke in a rather indifferent manner, just like last time.

"Alright, ladies, please come inside."

As she spoke, the dwarf shopkeeper bowed and gestured for us to walk into the second room of this aristocratic clothing store.

When Lira and I went inside, I was instantly shocked.

Indeed, the room was filled with a dazzling array of casual clothes, and each garment was exquisitely crafted.

This moment made me want to praise it endlessly.

I originally thought that their high-end clothing store would have very few clothing samples, but I found that there were so many... In other words, apart from the innermost lounge, the entire place was a sample room!

"Wow, Ivy, these clothes are so beautiful! I love this one and this one too!"

"It's alright, Miss blonde, please choose whatever you like, and we'll make it to your specifications."

At this moment, the dwarf shopkeeper smiled and said to Lila.

"Really, Ivy~"

At this moment, Lila quickly turned to face me, staring at me intently with a look of anticipation.

"Alright, Lila, just choose three items, and then have the shopkeeper make them for you."

"Really?! Then I'll start choosing."
