Slime Leveling [Litrpg, Timeloop]-Chapter 182—Princess of Zethia

"Let's enter," the Goblin Lord said, casting, "Shapeshift."

A light magic rune flared on his palm as he transformed into a muscular human standing over two meters tall with a heavy axe on his back.

He pulled an orange tunic jacket, grey trousers from his magic pouch, and got dressed.

Elder Goblin also followed, changing into an old human with a head full of grey hair. He was clad in a yellow tunic shirt and white trousers.

"Hide your demonic magic." Goblin Lord ordered, as he cast, "Demonic Concealment."

A layer of dark energy covered him for a moment and vanished.

"Demonic Concealment," Elder Goblin followed along.

The same demonic energy flashed and went away.

They soon reached the towering gates as guard in heavy full-body armor raised their hand and yelled, "Halt...Line, please."

They lined up properly with others, as Elder Goblin pulled Goblin Lord, muttering, "Lord, we have to sneak in… act like ordinary weak humans."

Goblin Lord, with a frown, walked in line.

Soon, one by one were inspected and sent in. Finally, it was the Goblin Lord and Elder Goblin's turn.

"I'm here to sell the goods," Goblin Lord replied, trembling, bending his chest.

He mused, narrowing his eyes, 'I'll kill him when I return.'

"We are mere village hunters," Elder Goblin added, pulling dead rabbits, foxes, wolves, and other animal carcasses from the storage pouch.

"Hmmm." The guard on the right with blond hair hummed as he asked, "Which village are you from?"

"And where is your identity?" the left guard with black hair followed, narrowing his eyes at goblins in human shapes.

"I'm from…."

Soon, the inquiry was finished, as the blond-haired guard raised his hand. "Now give your pouches, I need to check them as well," he said, waving his hand.

He inspected both the pouches and yelled, "Contraband…"

He had pulled more than half of the dead animals and barked randomly at one of the snake corpses, "This is very poisonous… do you want to kill everyone by mixing it in water?"

'What the heck…' Goblin Lord scowled, clenching his fists.

"Lord, they are asking for money… act like we are poor," Elder Goblin said, using Mana Transmission, letting only Goblin Lord hear him.

Goblin Lord, as per Elder Goblin's words, with a small smile, pleaded tremblingly, "Lord, this is our effort."

"Hmmm." Black-haired guard barked, erupting with crimson aura, "Do you want to be locked in jail?"

Blond-haired guard roared, drawing his sword, "Demons! Demons are trying to sneak in."

"Here…" Elder Goblin picked a few mana crystals and handed them over with shaky hands.

"Good… the magic pouches are safe." The guard said, grinning widely as he swiftly hid the crystals.

The guards opened the gates and yelled, "Remember, you have to return by night or…" He rubbed his hands, indicating extra payment.

"Yes, lord." Goblin Lord and Elder Goblin both nodded.

They picked the carcasses and went in.

"Come in line." The blond guard barked at people who tried to cut in.

After entering the gate, the two goblins wiped out their tired smiles.

"It was good that you changed pouches," Goblin Lord praised.

"I heard about human behavior… but it's the first time for myself," Elder Goblin said.

He scoffed. "What pathetic behavior."

They quickly entered through another large gate as they finally set foot on the smooth, grey marble road.

The roads, with blue magic arrays at every few meters, and decorated by plants on both sides, appeared in their vision.

The high-quality wooden houses, along with a few materials mixed in, reflected in their eyes.

"Buy marbles…"

"Buy one, get one free!"

"Sweets… orange flavor, mango…"

The shouts of sellers echoed through the busy street as humans rushed along the roads.

"What an incredible city." Goblin Lord muttered, with dull eyes. "We goblins can never achieve this level."

"Lord…" Elder Goblin nudged Goblin Lord's shoulder.

"Yes," Goblin Lord shook his head, wiping his distractions.

A few minutes later—

"So this is the Zethia country palace." Goblin Lord exclaimed as he glanced at the huge palace of seven stories, which had a front garden and a few manors on its sides.

"Lord… now is not the time to get impressed," Elder Goblin muttered.

"Yeah." Goblin Lord nodded. "We need to kidnap her."

"Did you ask your son?" Elder Goblin asked, as they silently leapt over the walls of the palace and landed in the garden.

"Tch! That brat must continue our bloodline," The Goblin Lord replied.

Both goblins cast, "Demonic Silence."

A layer of demonic energy covered them.

"Wouldn't it be better for Young Lord to overcome Carnal Impulse first?" Elder Goblin asked as they slowly moved forward to the palace.

"I want him to overcome it, but I want to hold my grandson first," Goblin Lord replied, as they reached the palace sidewall.

They glanced at the window to the seventh floor.

"Is it?" he asked, pointing to the highest floor.

"Yeah. I heard she lives on the seventh floor," Elder Goblin replied.

A few moments later—

In the luxurious bedroom.

"Ahhh!" The purple-haired woman with an oval face bit down on the veiny green goblin hand, which covered her face from behind.

Thud!

Goblin Lord softly struck the nape of the woman with his free hand.

The woman fell softly on his arms.

"So beautiful." Elder Goblin licked his lips.

Purple hair cascaded down her back, and her beauty was so precise it felt almost unnatural.

The air around her seemed to still, as though even sound hesitated in her presence.

A strange urge stirred within the goblins—not merely lust, but an instinct to possess and protect.

"Now… let's get out." Goblin Lord ordered as they jumped from the window nearby.

A few moments later—

Whoosh!

They dashed out from the gates of the country.

Goblin Lord placed the princess on the grass and hissed, "Wait here, Elder, for a few moments. I'll kill those guards for audacity."

"And don't touch her." He glared at Elder Goblin, who was rubbing his hands while holding his wooden staff.

In the next moment,

Thud! Thud!

"Ahhh!" People screamed as two guards were decapitated by a heavy axe from the bulky goblin.

Goblin Lord dashed out, not caring about humans.

He picked up the woman and carried her over his shoulder as both goblins rushed out towards the goblin village.

Her kidnapping by goblins soon spread across.

In a luxurious room, filled with gold, marbles, and diamonds—

A crimson dragon, which was sleeping, suddenly snapped open its eyes.

He yawned, scratching his head.

He clapped his hands, yelling, "Sienna."

A beautiful woman in her early thirties, clad in a kaftan and adorned in many luxurious jewelry from top to bottom, entered the room and knelt down.

"How long did I sleep?" Dragon asked in an adult male voice, blinking his black ruby eyes. His voice was rough and powerful.

"It's over a thousand years," Sienna replied, with a soft, delicate voice.

"I'll take a walk," Dragon muttered.

After a second, he narrowed his eyes and asked with a grin, "Anything worthy to be possessed by me is found or created in this time?"

Sienna replied, standing up, "Lord, it would be the princess of Zethia… whose beauty is praised and widely known."

"Hoo…" Dragon narrowed his eyes in interest.

"It's said that a beauty like her is born only once in a century," Sienna said, sighing. "Her beauty is praised across kingdoms, and it's spread that her temperament is like the adorable, gentle girl… which invokes pity and a safeguarding nature of every man."

"Then she should be my next wife." Dragon declared with a smirk, standing up.
