Chapter Twenty-Six: The Depths of the Gran Forest
Three days later.
Fryer returned from Gran Forest with his troops on a smiling face.
They have seen that the Gran Forest is back to normal.
So some of the defenders were removed and the matter was ready to be reported.
Although Huttonmar is very close to the Elwin Line, it will take time to get the formalities in place.
In this way, after Fryer handed over the matter here to the captain of the guard, he went to Huttonmar to report it himself.
Celia and Toby remained in the Elwin Line, waiting for the rest to return.
Rimuru took advantage of the darkness and snuck into the Gran Forest.
He still had some things to do, and if he could, he wanted to know about them tonight.
"Welcome back!"
"Welcome back!"
"Welcome back!"
Just after Limuru returned to the Thundering Ruins, three voices suddenly appeared, startling him.
The three of them, Kaino, Poison Elvis, and Sauta, were prostrate on the ground, looking at Rimuru respectfully.
"Sauta, you're healed?"
"Haha, thank you for your concern, we minotaurs may not be able to do anything else, but the vitality is leveraged!"
Hearing Sauta say this, Rimuru was also a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you don't have to do this with me, and you don't have to call me master, just call me as usual.
The host or something, I always feel a little too middle and two, not suitable for me. ”
"Understood, Rimuru-sama!"
The three of them said in unison, which was deafening, making Pinocchiu, who was not far away, look disgusted.
"Cut, isn't it just a slime king, what's the spirit, wait for my fire magic Mahayana, see if I don't burn you!"
"Pinosius, you're there too!"
When Rimuru heard the voice, he realized that Pinoche was also here.
He originally thought that the other party had already left the Thundering Ruins.
"I don't have a place to go, so I'm here for a while, can't I?"
"No, no, no, I'm very welcome to you, but with your identity and strength, it's okay to return to the Elwin Line?"
Rimuru asked, confused.
Pinoche sighed and explained.
"I want to go back too, but the strength in my body is still very unstable.
Only in the Gran Forest can I stabilize my strength, and if I leave here, I will immediately go berserk.
In my situation, going out can only harm others and myself, so it is better to stay here. ”
"So you're here to plague me, aren't you?"
"What do you mean to be a scourge to you? Although my strength is not as good as yours, I am much stronger than the three of them!
With a powerful mage like me here, I promise to protect your territory! ”
Pinocchius was very confident in his words, but in exchange for Rimuru's ridicule.
"Cut, you better forget it, can you beat Harnik or Bull Commander?"
"You ......"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you, since you want to stay here, I won't mind.
But you're not staying here for nothing, and I need you to pay the rent.
As for what the rent is, I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll wait until I think about it.
But don't worry, it's definitely not something that will make you feel embarrassed. ”
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Pinochio nodded, agreeing with Rimuru's statement.
Later, under the leadership of the poisonous Elvis, Rimuru visited the Cat Demon Street, the Goblin Street, and the Minotaur Street.
And in the location of the magic array, he saw a palace with an elven magic style.
This palace was designed by Pinocchius, Sauta moved bricks and cut trees, goblins started, and cat demons commanded, and it took three days to complete.
This palace, according to Sauta, is a small palace modeled after the dwellings of the elves.
In Rimuru's opinion, this is quite satisfying.
At least the palace in front of me is more in line with the normal aesthetics of human beings.
After all, it was designed by Pinosius, and with her words, Rimuru was relatively reassuring.
If it is based on the aesthetics of the minotaur, the so-called palace may become a cave.
Afterwards, Rimuru briefly talked about their future path.
Before their strength has completely undergone a qualitative change, it is impossible for the Monster Realm to face the world.
Therefore, Rimuru plans to go to Hutton-Maar to find the famous alchemist Norton and find a way to refine the medicine.
By the way, you can also take Selia to investigate the matter of the Great Magic Array.
And there is another point, which is also the point that Rimuru is most concerned about.
That's what he wants to get his hands on the Sky City, the magic array technology.
In this way, the defense of the Gran Forest can be increased by one time.
It won't be as easy to hack as it is now.
After discussing these matters, Rimuru finally made a bold and important decision.
Go to the deepest part of the Gran Forest alone to meet the Minotaur King!
Such a decision scared Pinocchius.
As a test subject, she knew very well what kind of monster the Minotaur was.
Therefore, she was adamantly opposed to Rimuru doing so.
The three of them were confused, because they didn't know who the Minotaur was.
"This is very important to me and to you.
So I had to see him once, and even if I couldn't beat him, I would have no problem escaping.
This matter is decided, I will go alone, and none of you will follow, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face! ”
With that, Rimuru transformed into a slime and slid towards the depths of the Gran Forest.
Walking is much faster than running.
It's just a pity that Rimuru doesn't have a chance to eat flying creatures.
Otherwise, he will be able to fly away, which is more convenient.
"That Minotaur Machine, what kind of existence is it, why do you think you are so nervous? Meow? ”
"You all know the stubborn Harnick and the bull-headed commander, they are very strong, right?
The Minotaur is a more powerful and terrifying being than the two of them.
And these two guys are both subordinates of the Minotaur King! ”
"What?!"
"Moo?!"
"Meow meow!"
Hearing Pinosius's words, Kaino, Poison Presley King, and Sauta immediately fell into a state of suspicion of beast life.
Meanwhile.
Rimuru has entered the Minotaur realm.
Here, he saw a lot of mutant goblins, as well as mutant cat demons.
What a green goblin, a red goblin, and even an explosive Ivan and the fickle cat demon.
These monsters, seeing Rimuru's appearance, just converged on both sides of the road.
It's like an onlooker, and it's like a welcome.
Rimuru was numb at the sight.
There are a lot of them.
This also made Rimuru clear that he still underestimated the power of the other party.
"Moo!!"
"King Slime, what are you doing here!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
A red figure fell from the sky and smashed directly in front of Limulu.
When he looked closely, it was the bull-headed commander he had met before.
"I'm here to meet the Minotaur King, can I make way?"
"The master is what you want to see, don't think too highly of yourself, King Slime!"
The Bull-Headed Commander roared angrily, causing Rimuru to take two steps back.
But at this time.
A masked cat demon jumped on the shoulder of the bull-headed commander and licked his paws and said.
"Commander Bullhead, you know, the master said that he is qualified to come in, so don't find a reason to fight."
