The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Finally, these superimposed images coalesced, and upon seeing that it was me, the buck-toothed dwarf thug couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.

"What a brat..."

At that moment, the dwarf thug with the lewd voice also climbed out of the carriage.

But what was even more interesting was that he was acting like a drunkard, wildly performing drunken boxing, and it was quite comical.

"That brat who made me lose my red dragon hatchling! The boss almost killed us!"

"What? It's you, you brat!"

Without waiting for a reply, the dwarf gang leader jumped out of the carriage and landed on the ground.

For a moment, or perhaps it was my imagination, the ground beneath my feet shook twice.

Then, six or seven more dwarf thugs climbed out of the carriage. Some had bumped their heads, and others, perhaps accidentally injured, had black eyes.

Anyway, these dwarven thugs were in a really bad state.

"Great, that's right, that's great. We can't let her get away this time. We have to catch her and hand her over to the boss so he can deal with her."

At this point, the dwarf thug leader must have fully regained his senses, because he immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist and pointed it at me.

Then, those disheveled dwarf thugs, though still not recovered, all pulled out their weapons, ready to attack me.

"Are you kidding me? Who was it that was wiped out last time, without even managing to hurt me?"

At that moment, a wicked smile involuntarily crept onto my face.

That's true, though. Last time, they outnumbered me four or five times more, but they couldn't hurt me at all. So what could they possibly do to me?

"That's true, that brat is incredibly strong..."

At this moment, the lewd-voiced dwarf thug slowly pushed his leader behind him, already beginning to back down.

"Indeed, I still remember the pain of my broken arm... It was so hard to get it back together, I don't want it to break again."

As he spoke, the buck-toothed dwarf thug cowered behind the dwarf leader, his body trembling involuntarily.

Afterwards, the remaining dwarf thugs also kept their distance, because they had all suffered the same fate before and were terrified.

"You...you guys, how can you all be so useless? I, I..."

At this moment, the leader of the dwarf gang was instantly furious, but in reality, he was also afraid.

Because I still remember that last kick that sent him flying and knocked him unconscious. Maybe there's still my little footprint on his abdomen.

"Since that's the case... just you wait and see. The next time I see you, it will definitely be your death day!"

Sure enough, seeing that his men were all in a sorry state, the dwarf thug leader naturally lost his nerve and turned his fat body around without saying a word.

"Men, let's retreat."

Without saying another word, he took off running.

Of course, I couldn't let him off so easily. I heard that the dwarf coachman's daughter had been kidnapped, so I figured I should go all the way and rescue her daughter first.

At this moment, I stretched out my hand and began to gather and control my magic power. In an instant, a blood-red flame nearly a foot tall appeared directly in my palm.

Although I could easily kill all those dwarven thugs without leaving a trace, I still need to help this dwarven coachman find his daughter, so I can't kill any of them.

I don't know if killing someone in the Dwarf Kingdom is punishable by death, but killing people indiscriminately is not a good thing. Besides, I am the relatively righteous demigoddess Ivy, how could I do such a bad thing?

At this moment, they were running in a panic and were very scattered, which meant that it was arguably the best time for me to use my skills.

If they were too densely packed, I was afraid I might accidentally blow them up, but now I don't have to worry about that anymore.

"Fireball!"

In an instant, a fireball the size of a bowling ball was launched from my palm, landing right at the feet of the dwarf gang leader and several other dwarf gang members around him.

Then a very violent and extremely powerful explosion occurred.

"what!"

At the same time, along with the explosion, came extremely tragic screams.

Then, the dwarf gang leader and the other dwarf gang members were blasted into the air and crashed to the ground, immediately losing consciousness.

Of course, I can't let the remaining few go either, because I can't let them escape.

If one of them escapes, the life of the dwarf coachman's daughter will be in danger.

So I fired two more fireballs, and just like that, the remaining four dwarf thugs were also blasted into the air and then crashed to the ground unconscious.

It seems I'm really controlling my fireball spell quite well now, otherwise I would definitely have accidentally injured them.

"In that case..."

Since they're all unconscious, things will be easier from here on out.

At this point, I dragged them all off the ground, put them in a pile, then removed the horse ropes and other things from the carriage, and tied them all up.

After realizing that even with great ability, there was no way to escape, I was about to wake up the still unconscious dwarf coachman and ask him what had happened.

Hehehe, I really am a genius. You'll be so grateful to me then.

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly happy.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Inquiry into the whereabouts of the dwarf carriage driver's daughter

At that moment, I quickly ran to the overturned carriage and immediately righted it.

Fortunately, the carriage was very sturdy. Despite my forceful kick, only the spot where I kicked it was slightly deformed and some paint chipped off; the rest remained perfectly intact.

As expected of a carriage made by dwarves, it is indeed quite sturdy.

At that moment, I grabbed the dwarf coachman and pulled him out of the carriage.

However, he was probably already overly panicked and scared, so he fainted temporarily.

Unfortunately, I can't let him continue sleeping.

Because... the longer it drags on, the more her daughter's life will be in danger.

I quickly raised my hand and slapped him across the face without actually hitting him hard.

Actually, this is the easiest way to wake up that I can think of.

"Ah... I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I will definitely pay back the money today, I will definitely pay back the money, please let my daughter go."

The dwarf coachman, who had been awakened, did not open his eyes and was begging for mercy.

Sigh, it's really pitiful to have someone hold something against you.

"Cough cough..."

I quickly coughed twice and then squinted at him.

He seemed to hear my soft cough and immediately opened his eyes.

"Oh... Ah, you're that female passenger from before! You've finally arrived! Oh wait, where's the person who asked me for money before..."

Because he only focused on me and didn't notice the thugs who had come to collect the debt earlier, his face immediately showed a very surprised and confused expression.

"There it is."

As I spoke, I gave a thumbs-up and pointed to the group of dwarf thugs I had tied up in the big tree behind me.

"Ah... why did you tie them up?"

Upon seeing this, the dwarf carriage driver let out an even more surprised sound.

"Yes, I tied her up. By the way, I just heard that they kidnapped your daughter?"

Since that's the case, I won't waste any more time and will get straight to the point.

"Ah, yes...you heard all of that. Because I racked up huge debts in business...and couldn't pay them back, my precious daughter was forcibly kidnapped by them..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

It seems he really loves his daughter.

That's true. He's a single father with only one precious daughter, who is naturally the apple of his eye.

It's heartbreaking to have something taken away naturally.

"Do you know where your daughter has been kidnapped?"

“I don’t know… Although I know where their boss lives, I don’t know where my daughter is being held captive.”

As he spoke, he became even more dejected and lowered his head.

Since he didn't know where his daughter was, he could only ask these dwarf thugs and their leader.

As I spoke, I walked over to the dwarf thugs I had knocked unconscious and stopped on top of them.

Actually, I've watched a lot of anime and TV dramas, and I've also seen many interrogations of criminals, so naturally I know some basic interrogation procedures.

However, they were all incredibly ugly, so they looked like they wanted to punch each other.

Since that's the case, without saying a word, I stretched out my little fist and punched the gang leader on the head.

"Ouch, that hurts like hell!"

That punch really worked; it woke him up right away.
