The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"My lord, it's almost time. We should set off."

At this moment, a man wearing heavy black armor spoke softly to the man in the black robe.

"Okay, let's get going without delay."

Just like that, a wisp of black smoke spread outwards, and everyone, including Yi Mo's longsword, vanished in an instant.

At the same time, the originally terrifying magic vanished with the disappearance of these guys.

Sure enough, they were definitely plotting something, but I had absolutely no clue what it was.

But I'm pretty sure they're not just attacking the military training camps of the Kingdom of Adela; they're probably planning something quite terrible.

Just then, it suddenly occurred to me that Binlabella's dragon wings had been severed by Yimo, and she had fallen not far away...

Since that's the case, I naturally want to check the extent of her injury and see if it's quite serious.

And so, I unfurled my wings of light and flew at full speed toward the direction where Binlabella had fallen.

Chapter Sixty-One: Discovery of a Group of Goblins Carrying Gunpowder

Actually, Bina Bella is quite large, so finding her was relatively easy.

Soon, in just over a minute, I saw her massive body lying on its side in the huge pit, unconscious from the pain of her broken wings.

“Binrabella”.

At that moment, I quickly flew to her and gently patted her huge face, calling out to her.

She appears to be in a state of mild to moderate coma at the moment, and it seems she won't wake up anytime soon...

So let her rest for a while, and then wake her up again in a little while.

At that moment, I had another idea: to look for the dragon wing that had been severed from her. If I could find it, I could ask Wenya to help piece it back together, which might help Binlabella recover faster.

Seriously, if something as important as Binlabella can't fly anymore, does that mean we'll have to ride bear cars slowly every day...?

I don't want this to happen! Ugh! (〃＞皿＜)!!

“Wait for me to come back, Binrabella.”

So I gently patted the still unconscious Binlabella again, and then headed straight into the depths of the forest to search.

That said, at least half of Binlabella's dragon wings were severed, so the meeting place must be quite large. However, even if it is considered quite large, it is not so easy to find.

However, this forest is so vast, where am I supposed to find Binlabella's severed dragon wing? This is giving me a bit of a headache.

Moreover, the Dragon Wings should be quite light; even if it fell to the ground from such a high altitude, it wouldn't leave any marks. Therefore, it's quite difficult to find it now.

I searched and searched for a long time, but unfortunately I still couldn't find it.

"Where did it break off to? Ugh, so annoying!"

At this moment, I couldn't help but stomp my feet in frustration and mutter to myself.

However, at that moment, I seemed to hear some movement in the grass in the distance.

Although curiosity killed the cat, I really wanted to know what was there...

And so, I slowly and silently walked away into the distance.

However, what I saw there surprised me greatly...

Yes, those were probably a dozen or so demons, but they looked very strange; they were all extremely ugly.

Because they all have long, elf-like ears, and some even have skin that's darker than Wenya's, a bluish complexion...

The only significant difference between them and the regular Demon King's army is that all of them are very short and thin.

At the same time, they were all carrying a huge package, which was much larger than themselves.

Based on this, they shouldn't be the Demon King's army.

However, at that moment, I seemed to smell a very familiar scent.

That's right... if I'm not mistaken, that must be the smell of firecrackers we played with as kids.

So that means these guys' huge packages are all filled with... gunpowder?

Good heavens, gunpowder still exists in this world?

that……

Suddenly it dawned on me that such a race does indeed exist in this world.

Although they are not as strong as dwarves and are not suitable for blacksmithing and forging powerful weapons, they like to study blasting techniques.

Naturally, gunpowder is something that only their race possesses, and it has not been leaked to other races to this day.

If I'm not mistaken, these guys are probably goblins.

Those goblins who love using bombs and enjoy explosions.

That's perfect. Since the goblins have explosives, that makes things much easier. If we can recruit them, we'll definitely have some great ideas.

Perhaps they can teach me how to make gunpowder. Once we have gunpowder, we won't have to be afraid even if a large-scale demon army attacks.

So I quietly crept over there and started monitoring their movements.

Indeed, carrying such huge packs, they were clearly quite exhausted.

Their clothes and faces were already soaked with sweat.

Most importantly, their clothes were tattered from being scratched by tree branches, which showed that they had been walking for a very, very long time.

As for the goblin race, theoretically speaking, they should exist at the southernmost edge of this world. From there to the Kingdom of Adela... even by carriage, if I'm not mistaken, it would probably take more than a year... In addition, the south seems to be more dangerous than the north, so the area explored is far less than that in the north. Therefore, it is indeed quite capable that these goblins were able to come here.

"Boss... I can't walk anymore, I can't go on..."

At this moment, the last goblin sat down on the ground and collapsed.

"Goethe, you little rascal, you're already exhausted after walking so little today! Get up! We can already sense the movement of many living creatures not far away. Once we sell all this gunpowder, it will be enough for us to live a life of luxury for the rest of our lives."

The oldest and strongest goblin among them should be their leader.

It seems they really want to sell all this gunpowder. In that case, why don't I take it all?

However, there were thirteen of them in total, and they had twelve large bags of gunpowder. It was indeed not enough to deal with so many Demon Kings. But if they sold the gunpowder to the Demon Kings... Heh, I think it won't be long before the barrier of the military training camp of the Kingdom of Edela is blown up.

Therefore, we absolutely must not let this gunpowder fall into the hands of the Demon King's army.

"But how can the people here know what a good thing our gunpowder is? I'm afraid... I'm afraid that when we come back, the gunpowder will be worthless. Then we'll be in trouble even if we drink cold water."

At this moment, the goblin named Goethe couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph, don't be so skeptical of gunpowder. At worst, we'll just hand over the gunpowder synthesis formula to them. That would be our biggest concession yet."

Hearing this, the goblin leader also seemed somewhat frightened, afraid that the gunpowder was worthless.

"In that case, I'll take this pile of gunpowder from you."

After they had finished talking and I realized they hadn't found a buyer yet, I walked out from behind the stone that had been sticking to me and shouted to them.

Chapter Sixty-Two Hiring Goblins

Upon hearing my loud response, they all seemed to be startled and immediately jumped up from the ground.

Then he quickly slung the huge bundle of gunpowder on his back and pressed it against me warily.

"Hmm? Little... little sister, do you know what this thing is for? This is no joke."

At this moment, the goblin named Goethe spoke in a panic, as if he thought I was some kind of ignorant little kid who not only scared them but also tried to please them.

"No, these things are gunpowder, so of course I know about them. As for me, I am the eldest princess of the Beginning Kingdom of Humanity, and also the Holy Princess of the Kingdom of Edela. That identity should be enough, right?"

At that moment, I held up the golden token with the character "伊" (Yi) that my father had given me, and then looked at it from the front.

"This……"

Upon hearing my identity, they couldn't help but turn around and start discussing among themselves. The goblin leader even came closer and roughly observed the token I was holding up.

"Uh, this... well, it is indeed made of real gold, and it was made using a very rare forging technique. This kind of technique, well... ordinary people simply cannot do it. It seems that your identity is indeed real."

After observing for a while, the goblin leader was indeed reassured and convinced of my true identity.

However, I am also quite fortunate that my father, Emperor Yi, gave me this token; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to convince them of my identity.

"However, our gunpowder isn't cheap, so you have to give us a deposit first. Otherwise, even if you are the eldest princess of the Beginning Kingdom and the holy maiden of the Kingdom of Edra, we cannot cooperate with you..."

At this moment, the tallest goblin here (about 1.2 meters tall) was actually quite intelligent, and he spoke to me very seriously.

"No problem, but how much would you like to sell this gunpowder for? If possible, I'd like to pay in full at once."

Given the state of the Kingdom of Edela at this point, money was practically useless. However, gold coins were universally accepted in all other cities except the Dwarf Kingdom.

Therefore, I withdrew the money I had deposited from a merchant house near the training center. (Actually, there was another merchant house at the very back of the training center in the Kingdom of Edela. However, there was no other place in the royal city to set up a merchant house, so a piece of land in the training center was cut off and a small merchant house was set up there.)

Right now, I have at least thirty gold coins on me, so as long as I don't exceed those thirty gold coins, I can basically buy anything.

Actually, I don't know how much gunpowder is worth in this world.

"Hmm... the price of our gunpowder is..."

Just as the goblin leader was about to make an offer, he was suddenly stopped by the tall goblin.
