Chapter 205: Chapter 145 Seven Dwarfs_1

Upon realizing that a stranger had intruded, Ivita immediately led her people back to the castle.

By the time they pushed open the doors of the castle hall, they found the maids and manservants standing fearfully in the hall. They pointed upstairs as soon as they saw Ivita.

A tall manservant bowed his head to Ivita and said, "My Lord, seven children... actually, seven adults... well, I can’t really tell. Anyhow, seven people broke into the castle and knocked out two of our patrolling soldiers."

"They went to the second floor."

"They said they were heading to your study."

In the corner where the servant pointed, Ivita saw two fallen soldiers.

Rayli immediately rushed over to check, and then reported to Ivita, "They are fine, my Lord, both of them just fainted. They are not injured."

"Whoever knocked them out consciously held back."

Ivita’s expression eased a bit.

Just then, Tartax came down from the second floor and looked at the first floor in confusion, "Why has it been so noisy since last night?"

Seeing the unconscious soldiers and the frightened servants, he immediately became serious. "Lord Ivita, what’s happening?"

Black Wolf explained the situation once.

Tartax couldn’t help but feel frightened, he hurriedly ran down from upstairs, and secretly thankful—

Thankfully he had just come down from the second floor and hadn’t bumped into the intruders, or else he would have been dead.

Ivita said: "Let the knight attendants protect the people here."

"Black Wolf, Griffin, Hearthstone Witch, come with me to check upstairs."

"Rayli, go find someone to tend the soldiers’ injuries."

Ivita didn’t send someone upstairs to investigate the situation, because there was no need.

She held the Candy Mirror and a light flashed on its surface, mirroring the entire second floor scenario.

The guestroom, weapons storeroom, seed storeroom and several bedrooms on the second floor all appeared on the mirror’s surface.

Griffin Knight looked at the mirror and said, "This is very useful, Lord Ivita."

"With this gadget, do we still need scouts? No, this is even better than scouts."

Tartax couldn’t stand hearing this, he snorted coldly, almost blown up with anger.

He hesitated, then said: "In Scholar City, someone invented a hot-air balloon using fuel and balloons, which is great for scouting."

But at this moment, everyone’s attention was on the mirror, so no one paid any attention to him.

In the mirror, within Ivita’s study on the second floor, seven dwarves appeared.

Ivita could see why the servants couldn’t tell if they were adults or children. These dwarves were truly too short compared to humans.

They were practically the same height as a ten-year-old human child, except their bodies were much stronger, and their arms were much thicker than a normal adult’s.

They all had long white beards too.

These dwarves seemed to be habitually active, they unexpectedly drew out dagger-like long swords in Ivita’s study room and started dueling and comparing their swordsmanship.

After a while, they had turned Ivita’s study into a mess. Paper documents littered the floor, and tables and chairs were smashed.

One of the dwarves even hopped onto the back of a chair, performing stunts and balancing on a single foot, fighting with the dwarf standing on the ground.

"A dwarf is as fierce as a tiger,"

"Three dwarves are as strong as a bear,"

"Seven dwarves can match a dragon,"

"And ten dwarves become a millipede!"

It must be said, this race of dwarves had a gift for music. They sang this ballad with a smooth rhythm, the rhythm of the ballad precisely matching their every sword stroke.

Everyone watching from the mirror revealed strange expressions.

Black Wolf said, "These must be the infamous Dwarf Robber Brothers of the Magic Black Forest. They actually aren’t purebred dwarves, but a mix of humans and dwarves, which is why they are all knights."

Ivita was silent.

The knight system seems to be exclusive to humans.

In the past, the Sons of the Forest admired this.

Humans who possessed the secret potion system of knights gained superior military power over other races.

The knights were the backbone of the human armies.

However, it is unknown whether the secret potion system of knights that emerged in the late ancient civilization period was part of a certain law.

But if it was, this law must be formidable, though its ranking remains uncertain.

In the mirror, on the desk where Ivita often sat, a woman with bronze skin and dressed in tight black clothing angrily tossed a stack of letters onto the table.

She wore a black owl mask, had a short haircut, broken shackles on both wrists, and similarly black shackles on her feet.

"Enough!"

"I haven’t found anything of value here."

"Except for one pitiful shilling."

She calmly stuffed the silver coin into the pocket at her waist, then scattered the files, allowing them to flutter in the air. "You all are making too much noise."

"The owner of this place will discover us."

The seven little dwarves looked at her simultaneously, their expressions hostile.

One of the dwarves who stood on the chair back dueling with a man said, "Copper Coin One reminds you, Lady Robin of the Greenwood, we came here to rescue the princess, not you."

The second dwarf, Copper Coin Two, hand on hip, the other brandishing a dagger-sized sword, angrily said, "Exactly! Who let you and the Saxon Princess swap identities halfway, fooling the knight regiment into thinking you were the princess. We ended up rescuing the wrong person. If we’d known it was the Green Forest Bandit Lady Robin who was kidnapped by the Wild Boar Knight Regiment, we wouldn’t have bothered to rescue you."

Copper Coin Three said, "If Lady Robin was captured, there would only be countless people clapping."

Lady Robin stood up, slapped the table angrily, "If it wasn’t for helping your princess, I would never have been captured by those idiots of the Wild Boar Knight Regiment."

"Do you know how much I suffered among those iron-clad idiots?"

"I am going to suggest to the Saxon Princess to lock you all up in an iron cage so narrow you can’t turn around, and only give you cold water and mouldy black bread to eat every day."

"Then, you’ll understand how much I suffered."

She overturned the desk with one push. Her body moved flexibly forward, indicating she was no ordinary person.

Lady Robin said: "This lord is too poor. All the years I’ve been a bandit, hardly ever have I seen a baron in a room, where not even a single piece of gold or silver ornament could be found, let alone any antiques."

Copper Coin One muttered, "Is it really that poor?"

Ivita, who was using the Candy Spirit Mirror to monitor them, suddenly felt personally attacked.

What does that mean?

Are they mocking my poverty?

Ivita said to her subordinates, "Let’s go up."

"It seems like they are just a group of thieves, they won’t pose any threat to us."

So a group of people drew their weapons and went upstairs with swords in hand. As they reached the second-floor corridor, Lady Robin was leading the little dwarves to leave, just as they bumped into Ivita and her group.

Both parties stared wide-eyed at each other.

Ivita stretched out her hand, "Return my shilling to me!"

The little dwarves on the other hand were frightened by the sight of Amelia in Ivita’s Candy Spirit mirror, and cried out in alarm, "It’s the Magic Mirror!"

"Could it be... she’s associated with the Witch Queen?"

"This is terrible, I don’t want to be turned into a stone statue again."
