Chapter 79: Happy Number… Dog Cart?
After Lolth’s visit, Mayor Harper Dolun also gladly accepted Lolth’s invitation.
In fact, after Lolth’s arrival and realizing the superior administrative abilities of this demon lord, as well as their dedication to benefiting Hillenbrand, Harper chose to spend his days drinking tea at home to avoid causing any trouble for the lord as the "mayor."
And during this past week here, this retired adventurer in his sixties felt restless, just like a normal retiree.
After all, not everyone can enjoy slacking off like Lolth without any guilt.
Being invited by the lord again to shine in Hillenbrand Town, Old Harper was naturally very happy.
As for Isabella, Ann’s concerns about demon race conspiracies, the continent’s reputation, and his own pride, Old Harper didn’t think about any of those!
He was just a small town mayor, a basic adventurer, who didn’t understand these things at all.
After agreeing to meet the mayor early the next morning on the north side of the main road in Hillenbrand Town, Lolth returned to the torture tower to prepare for the journey.
This time, she didn’t plan on using any spatial magic!
Firstly, long-distance teleportation without coordinates consumes too much energy and the spellcasting process is too complex – last time, using a magic circle to transfer the torture tower put the whole tower in an energy-charged state for days.
Lolth firmly believes that magic should make life easier, not cause problems!
Secondly, she also enjoys a leisurely journey with frequent stops!
This kind of official trip with a good reason obviously needs proper preparation.
Taking out a mountain travel bag made of magical beast leather, stuffing in various homemade snacks, lunch boxes, and ingredients, and adding a magic crystal with a photo function as a camera.
The land area of the otherworldly world is much larger than the previous life, with a sparse population, so it is very likely to have to stay overnight in the wild, so you should also bring a camping kit.
Slowly, the backpack got fuller and fuller, so Lolth simply added an expansion magic to turn this backpack into a simple space magic bag.
However, it doesn’t have as exaggerated portable and fresh-keeping functions as a space magic bag.
As for why not just use a space magic bag…
Because Lolth felt that using a magic bag would take away the fun of traveling!
The last step is choosing the transportation for the trip.
This actually involves Lolth’s lack of knowledge.
After this lazy fish traveled through time, it learned space magic early on to make moving easier.
She didn’t really understand the transportation commonly used in the whole Demon King Castle.
Luckily, she still had a helper by her side.
Turn right when you leave and find the golem puppet hanging on the corridor. Lolth wrote a note to Kululu.
"Kululu,
Tomorrow, we’re going far to the human city to buy things. Get us a ride;
There are five of us, don’t drive too slow but not too fast either;
It would be great if it could carry goods and leave it at the north entrance of Hillenbrand Town;
Oh, and make sure it’s not too difficult to drive."
She patted the Golem Puppet, and the big figure started to move on its own, holding Lolth’s note and slowly walking away, disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Lolth didn’t know where it was going.
Anyway, this guy always managed to find where Kululu was.
After waiting for a moment, the golem returned with heavy steps.
In its hand, it held the note that Lolth had just given it, and passed it back to Lolth.
When Lolth took it back, she noticed the elegant words "求爷" written at the end.
"Begging grandpa."
"Begging your highness!"
Lolth cursed, and the magical writing on the paper seemed to be activated by her touch, transforming into a new line of text.
"Don’t scold others, do you have manners? I won’t argue with you, everything is ready for you. Tomorrow you just need to sit and it will be done!"
A very Kululu-style response, but Lolth also understood the other person’s meaning.
She doesn’t need to worry about anything anymore.
After packing up her luggage, Lolth went to sleep.
Early to bed, early to rise!
She’s not a primary school student who can’t sleep well because of a distant trip the next day.
However, the others traveling with her were definitely having some trouble sleeping.
Isabella couldn’t sleep well because she thought about going to a city within the previous Republic of Seychelles territory the next day. She was captured by the demon race.
In the middle of the night, her stomachache turned into bloating.
"I ate too much barbecue rice and fried chicken rice… I also drank too much of that fizzy sweet water…"
The lady knight was lying on the bed, feeling discomfort in her stomach.
Meanwhile, Ann, the young boy over there lived in a house next to the Blacksmith Shop, holding his own box, still lost in thought about the gossip from the landlady earlier.
"Do I… really still have a chance?"
Ann murmured, stretching out his hands to look at his delicate fingers.
The once desolate heart, which had long lost hope and fallen silent, was now starting to feel restless once again.
As for Mayor Old Harper and Kanor, these two were simply as excited as before the spring outing.
"It’s time for me to show off my skills again, I must protect everyone well then!"
Old Harper sat in front of his bed, took out his long-handled iron war hammer that he hadn’t used in a long time, and wiped the dull hammerhead with a towel.
He had no idea that he might be the least skilled among this group, except for eight-year-old Kanor…
As Kanor lay in the residence behind the tavern, the landlady informed her that she would be going on a distant journey with Lord Lolth tomorrow, which made Kanor excited.
Indeed, the landlady knew her well.
This must be an opportunity for her to find a mentor for herself!
Therefore, she couldn’t disappoint the landlady, who was practically like her mother, by refusing her kindness.
"This time, I must officially become Master Lolth’s disciple… or at least build a good relationship with Master Lolth!"
Kanor thought to herself secretly.
After a week of observing and learning, she was completely convinced by Lolth’s exquisite cooking skills, vast culinary knowledge, effortless cooking techniques, and incredibly innovative dish creations, already considering her as her teacher!
After a night of little sleep for everyone, the five of them arrived at the designated meeting point on the northern edge of Hillenbrand Town at six-thirty in the early morning, just as the sky was starting to brighten.
Then, five people also noticed the strange thing lying across the main road at the same time.
There was a huge, fluffy gray and white creature sound asleep, with a bridle as thick as a bowl hanging from it, pulling a pink carriage.
The creature looked like Isabella’s former mount White Frost Direwolf, but not quite.
It was a bit grayer, fluffier, and more good-natured.
On one side of the carriage, there was a universal symbol shimmering with colorful light.
"Happy Number… traveling dog carriage?"
Lolth muttered as she looked at the symbol with a twitch of her mouth.
"Kululu, you really did come for real…"
