While Kevin and the others were still discussing and thinking, the kobold princess had already embarked on the road back to the capital alone. He stepped on a coarse cloth backpack and loaded it with dry food coins, and carried no weapons except for a short sword hidden at his waist. There is no deliberate attempt to get it and flee, because people who are too weak will also suffer some trouble, and they will not easily reveal the identity of the princess, that is, looking for death.

Ordinary and ordinary, just like a kobold traveler. Recently, the princess herself has sent a large number of kobold bards, and the princess can also impersonate it temporarily, although she has not sent women before, so this is the first time to try.

After two days of walking, the princess had rounded two mountains and arrived at a central main city controlled by government forces. The princess's route is to follow as little of the empire as possible, and although she will eventually reach the capital, at least she will be safe along the way. It's some distance from the front line, and it's the second line of defense, but in fact, no one usually attacks here, the first position is relatively biased, and the second is that there are few mineral resources here.

The kobolds made a living from mining, and as the mineral deposits dwindled, many young and strong kobolds began to migrate outward, either in search of a new main city to take them in, or to die on the way. Looking at the current situation, there may be about ten years before the city is basically abandoned, and everyone who can walk will go, and the rest can only wait for death.

The Imperials would not be interested in such a place, but since young kobolds often leave, and because of the lack of mines, the competition was fierce. The kobolds who have dug up the mines prefer to go to the more prosperous main city to sell in person, so there are also many horse-drawn carriages stationed here. It's just that the carriage also contains this profound routine, many kobolds have been caught and sold into slaves, for the human race they generally dare not do anything, but for the female kobolds who are alone, it is naturally very dangerous.

But the princess was not afraid, and the capital was too far away to be on foot alone.

"Does this carriage pull people?" the princess picked one that was hiding in the corner, and these remote carriages were safer than those that greeted people at the gates of the city. Because the carriage that occupies an advantageous place to solicit passengers means that there are powerful gangs behind it, and the forces behind the carriages in those remote corners are weaker, or even alone. If riding in a carriage is bound to be attacked, then why not choose a weaker one?

The people in the carriage seemed to be still napping, and they looked a little dissatisfied when they were woken up at this time, but when they saw that it was a female kobold, they couldn't help but show surprise: "You're alone?"

"Yes. The princess replied in a whisper, both sides were looking at each other, and if the weak people did not know how to observe in troubled times, most of them would not live long. The driver was younger, and like all other government kobolds, he had a candle on his head. His face is relatively clean, at least there are no scars or anything like that, which reflects from the side that he has experienced fewer battles and is more tender, which is why the princess chose him.

At the same time, the coachman was also observing the princess, a lone female kobold came over, a little inconsistent with his common sense, but the other party's aura was obviously different, and he didn't dare to slack off: "Where to go?"

"A small town to the south. The princess spoke.

"It's a little far," the coachman frowned a little, but sat up straight, "Come on." ”

The princess turned her head to look around, and no one seemed to pay attention to this side, but at this time, there was very little flow, and the princess, a lone female kobold, was actually unexpectedly unconcerned, but seemed deliberate. The princess sighed, checked the dagger at her waist, and stepped into the carriage.

With a long neigh, the carriage went away, and the originally quiet coachmen began to discuss the appearance of the princess and the pleasure that was about to come in the evening, after all, a lone woman walks in troubled times, and a sheep walks among wolves.

Over there, the princess sat calmly in the car, but chatted with the coachman: "How long have you been pulling the car?"

The coachman glanced back, looking a little wary, but replied, "Two years." ”

"How much can I earn?"

"It's up to you. The coachman replied.

"And how are you lucky today?" laughed the princess.

The coachman was stunned, didn't know how to answer for a while, and chose to be silent.

"How many people are in the family, do you have wives?" asked the princess again.

"I'm the only one in the family," the coachman replied casually, and then teased the princess, "Where do you dare to desire a wife these days?"

The princess just smiled: "I'm the one who wants to do big things, otherwise it's not impossible to think about it." ”

The coachman looked back in surprise: "What is a big deal?"

"I think one day, we kobolds will be on an equal footing with the Terrans. The princess replied.

The coachman looked back at her in astonishment, as if he were looking at a madman.

"What's the matter?" asked the princess, "is there anything so surprising?"

"Hehe," the coachman sneered, "just you?"

"Of course, I'm not alone, what is needed is for us kobold to work together and go hand in hand to get through this difficult time. The princess replied.

The coachman laughed: "I wonder why there is a woman who hitchhikes alone, it turns out to be a madman." ”

The princess was not angry: "Judging by your conversation, it seems that you are not an ordinary kobold." ”

The coachman smiled: "You better take care of yourself, after this curve ahead, it is not so comfortable." ”

The princess looked ahead, and sure enough, she saw a bend in front of her, and behind the bend was a jungle, which looked murderous. The princess immediately drew her short sword and put it directly on the coachman's neck: "Stop!"

"What are you doing here?" said the coachman, surprised, but not alarmed, and the horse continued to move forward, without the slightest intention of stopping.

"Stop!" the princess drank again, and the short sword in her hand pressed into the other's neck. Suddenly the feel was wrong, the blade touched the collar, there seemed to be a hard object, the princess didn't have time to think about it, the carriage immediately shook, the carriage suddenly burst out of the four sides of the iron fence, an originally good carriage actually became an iron cage, and the princess happened to be imprisoned in the cage, and the appearance of the fence also separated the coachman and the princess by the way.

"It's not easy for us to run a carriage," the coachman sneered, "and in troubled times, we must always guard against some robbers who rob us." ”

The princess looked fixedly, but saw that the inside of the other party's collar was protected by iron sheets, and there were more organs in the carriage.

But the princess was in danger, the red fighting spirit exploded, and the sword in both hands slashed at the iron fence, only to see a burst of sparks splashing, bang bang three times, and the three iron fences suddenly broke. Although the kobolds made a mechanism, after all, their ability was not enough to make any high-end mechanisms, and most of the iron weapons were made from scrap weapons. They don't plan to imprison high-end powerhouses, it's enough to be able to lock up kobolds.

The coachman heard the sound and hurriedly pulled the reins, and at the same time drew a sword from under his cushion and rolled over to block. The carriage came to a halt, and the princess simply rushed forward, and the short sword and the coachman's sword slammed together, and the hands of the two of them shook at the same time, and then jumped out of the carriage.

"Who are you?" the coachman was surprised, the other party's strength seemed to be quite strong, somewhat unexpected.

"You're no ordinary coachman, are you?" said the princess, still composed.

"I am the leader of all the coachmen here," replied the coachman, "and you think that the one who hides in the corner is the weakest? If you hadn't piqued my interest, I wouldn't have let you in the car. ”

"You are so young and promising," the princess admired, "it is very rare to be a leader at such a young age." “

"What's so difficult about this?" the coachman disdained, "As long as you learn the imperial Chinese well, hug the thighs of the imperial people, isn't it easy to be a coachman leader?"

Princess: "......"

"Look at my sword, this is the latest Fruit Cutting 2S, and your sword is just an imitation, and it's still a little shorter. You're no match for me at all," the coachman began, "so you'd better surrender, I'm also missing a wife, and you're also a master, and it's a big deal for everyone to run a fleet together." ”

The princess scoffed: "After talking for a long time, it turns out that he is also a lackey of the empire." There are too many people like you among the kobolds to get to where they are today. ”

"Fart," the coachman finally got angry, "it looks like I won't be able to give you two knives today." "Let's say, the long sword was swung, and the wind elemental instantly gathered, and a wind blade slashed straight at him.

The Fruit Cutting Sword is a magic sword, and the advantage of this sword is that it can allow people who don't know how to cast spells, and the casting speed is controlled by the magic array on the hilt, which is basically released instantaneously and is difficult to interrupt. The disadvantage is that the spells released are all fixed, almost immutable, and it is difficult to control the strength and weakness, not to mention high-end skills such as fireball bending, which are all released as anything.

If you are a swordsman who can mix magic attacks with your excellent sword skills, it is undoubtedly amazingly powerful. But if you try to use rigid magic attacks as the main means of attack, then basically people with some experience can deal with it.

The princess only needed to swipe lightly, and the wind blade was already in the air. The second wind blade of the coachman flew in, and the princess dodged again, and then the third and fourth wind, the princess still dodged easily, and when the fifth wind blade flew out, the coachman suddenly felt that the hilt of the sword began to resist obviously.

This is one of the signs of magic circle fatigue, and releasing the same spell in a row will cause spell fatigue, which can also be called spell overload. Not only people, but also the magic array, the manifestation in people is that the consumption of mental power is greatly increased, accelerating mental fatigue, and the performance on the magic array diagram will appear various resistance.

The fire system will heat up if it is overloaded, the water system will become cold if it is overloaded, the earth system will become heavy and sluggish, and the wind system will have irregular resistance, and there will be a feeling that it is running against the wind in any direction, and in severe cases, it will damage the magic array. It's easy to avoid this from happening, just wait a while before casting a spell.

However, this time interval is not easy to grasp in actual combat, many times it is a spell as fierce as a dog, in the face of this tactic, as long as you are not in a hurry, put your mentality, and dodge spells one by one, although you are temporarily powerless to fight back, but it is enough to ensure your own safety.

Seeing that the magic sword was overloaded, the coachman immediately chose to retreat, and kept attacking from a distance with excellent weapons, although the tactics were obscene, but they were very effective against people with low strength. The princess had no other way but to chase forward.

The magic sword recovered slightly, and the second round of wind blades immediately struck, but this time the overload was faster, only three wind blades, and the resistance of the hilt was already so great that it could barely move. At this time, the princess was close, and it was not easy to dodge, so she simply burst out directly, and the short sword was swung to split all the wind blades.

The coachman was frightened and wanted to retreat again, but the other party had already caught up, so he could only raise his sword to meet the enemy, but at this time the resistance had not subsided, and the sword was very slow. The princess easily set it aside and slashed it down with her sword.

"Ahh

"One should choose one's most suitable weapon, not one who chooses the so-called strongest weapon," the princess condescended, "The Fruit Cutting Sword is made for the Terrans, and it is not suitable for us kobolds in itself. In addition, although my sword is indeed a copy, there is no reason why the original cannot be defeated without a copy. ”

The driver clasped his wrist: "......"

"What else do you have to say?" the princess raised her sword.

"You, you, are you going to kill me?" the coachman was terrified.

"Kobolds who do things for the Empire, it's useless to keep them. The princess sneered.

"I'm useful, I'm really useful!" the coachman's voice was already a little shaky.

"What's the use?"

"I, I, I can be a translator, I know imperial Chinese. ”

"I'm sorry, but I would. The princess replied.

"I ...... I know a place where there is treasure. ”

"Treasure, are you trying to trick me into your trap?" the princess did not believe it.

"I ...... I can be your son. The coachman fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Princess: "......"

"Mom!" the coachman saw that the princess did not react, and actually came up directly and tried to hug his thigh.

"Get out!" the princess kicked over, and the coachman rolled twice in a row, and accidentally hit the stone on his head, and actually fainted.

The princess stayed for a moment, but finally sighed, and did not find out whether he was really faint or fake, nor did she make up for it, and sometimes it was not so easy to be ruthless. The kobolds' concept of the state is weak, and the theory of the imperial people is not to invade them, it can even be said that they are here to help them, no matter how bad they are, they are just businessmen, although they sell weapons.

It's just that the princess knows the inside story, but where do ordinary kobolds know this, and what's wrong with doing things for the people of the empire? Can you still put on the hat of a dog thief?

The princess did not linger too long, set up the carriage left by the coachman, and began to proceed to the predetermined route. This time it was a small gain, not only did I get a magic sword, but I also had a lot of money in the car. Of course, this is nothing to the princess, and she can even hire a carriage, but at first she travels on foot in order to hide people's eyes.

In the same way, she can't afford a magic sword, but as she said, it's better to use less weapons that don't suit her.
