The Golden Palace of the Slime Forest, a room with closed doors and windows in the western settlement.

The thick black curtains kept the sunlight in place, and the room was almost pitch black, and there was only a ray of light sneaking in through the cracks in the wooden planks, so that I could see a vague black shadow sitting in the dim room.

Squeak Squeak –

In the darkness, there was a sudden squeak, like the chirping of a rat in a dark gutter.

A pair of green eyes suddenly lit up, especially bright in the dark, with an eerie and penetrating brilliance, and when the squeak sounded, those eyes turned scarlet, almost melting into the darkness.

"As for the Guardian's mission, you have done a good job, but there is one last step left in the plan, after killing the Golden Slime King and seizing the Slime Heart, all the conditions that the Beastmaster promised you will be fulfilled, and now, this is not the time to rest. ”

As soon as the cold and shrill voice fell, the scarlet eyes turned back to green.

Another voice rang out.

"It is my king after all, and I have followed it for decades, to whom I have dedicated my life's loyalty and time, I ...... Haven't made up your mind yet. ”

It was still the voice from that black shadow, but it turned into an old and hoarse voice, if Shen Feng was here, he could hear that it was the voice of the slime knight who called himself "the second elder".

"Squeak squeak—"

The cold and sharp voice sounded again, "Stupid Slime Knight, when you weaved a lie and deceived the guardian to the territory of the Demon Clan, you have completely betrayed your king and engraved the brand of the Beast Clan's spies, you don't need to make up your mind, because you have no way out!"

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the air was as heavy as ice.

The Slime Knight's heavy gasps were the only sound in the darkness, as if it was facing some kind of difficult choice and torture, and the sound of its rapid and taking advantage of the breath was full of pain and struggle.

"I don't want to betray the king. ”

The old man's voice was full of helplessness and exhaustion, and the old slime knight, who had already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, said loudly as if venting his anger: "I was forced!"

"Squeak squeak—"

The shrill rat cries rang out again.

The wick in the room suddenly burst into flames, and the light of the fire illuminated the dimly lit room.

The reflection of the Slime Knight stretched long on the gold-forged floor, but a closer look revealed that the knight's armor contained the head of a mouse.

"Forgetful lowly knight, no one forced you, you did it of your own free will!"

The cold and sharp voice was full of mockery, and he said coldly: "It was you who took the initiative to contact the Orcs, it was you who took the initiative to propose the plan to deceive the Guardian to the territory of the Demon Clan, and it was still you who took the initiative to ask for the glory and wealth of the rest of your life in exchange for the Golden Slime Heart, you voluntarily betrayed your king, and no one forced you." ”

"No!"

The Slime Knight glared and said excitedly, "I was forced!

The cold voice laughed: "Squeak, then tell me, who forced you?"

Slime Knight fell silent for a long time.

After a long time, it sighed heavily and slowly closed its eyes.

It whispered, "Over the years, the king's illness has become more and more serious, and there are fewer and fewer knights and maids in the palace. I originally thought that the king's illness was getting worse and worse because of the sequelae of using divine power, and I thought that there were fewer and fewer knights and palace maids because most of the knights were sent to the front line to fight, and the palace maids were dismissed. ”

But the truth of the matter is not so. King Gold Slime is not sick at all, no, it doesn't even have the so-called divine power to turn things into gold!"

"Everything is fake, and what the king has is not the divine power that turns everything into gold, but the evil magic that turns living life into gold!"

"That scream is not that the king is suffering from illness, but the cruel torture that a living life will go through when it is turned into gold! Those knights and palace maids who have disappeared have become sacrifices for alchemy!"

"King Gold Slime ostensibly violated the unequal treaty of offering gold, but secretly shipped the freshly baked gold to the Demon Clan, and he signed a contract with the Demons, and they hatched a monstrous conspiracy to refine both the slime and the Orcs into gold!"

"Just now, Xiao San was also refined into gold, and I saw with my own eyes that it was loaded into a hunting cart and transported to the east of the forest as fast as possible, which was the territory of the demon clan. ”

"According to the number, the next sacrifice is me!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I can't let the earth-shattering conspiracy of King Golden Slime and the Demon Clan come true, it will be a disaster for the Slime Clan and the Orcs!"

"I didn't betray the Slime God!"

"I was forced!"

"I had no choice but to do it!"

"I'm not wrong!"

The more Slime Knight spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more determined he became.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with it.

It was a last resort.

It did not betray its faith and loyalty, it was the Golden Slime King who deceived its loyalty first, and the Golden Slime King who betrayed the faith of the Slime Clan!

"You're right, you have no choice but to do it. ”

The cold and sharp voice suddenly became softer, and it whispered: "The culprit is the Golden Slime King, it is the embodiment of evil, it is the root of sin, it has been bewitched by the devil and turned into the demon's minions, it is the enemy of the slime and the beast, it is the enemy of you and me! Kill it, you are the hero of the slime clan, you have not betrayed your loyalty and faith! Kill it!"

The green, cloudy eyes turned scarlet again,

The Slime Knight opened his mouth as if he was distracted, and kept muttering, "Kill it, kill it, kill it....."

The mouse head in the helmet suddenly opened its eyes,

A deafening sound like a thunderbolt from the blue exploded in the Slime Knight's ears.

"So, what are you waiting for!"

"Kill King Golden Slime now!"

"Take advantage of the best time for the Guardian to be diverted from the mountain, kill the demon with the crown, dig out its evil heart, and you will become a hero!"

"Knight-number two, it's time for you to act!"

The Slime Knight stood up suddenly, and it finally made up its mind.

It reached out and opened the closed door,

The sun shines in,

Harsh but warm,

As if that bright future was coming.

"Who are you!?"

The Slime Knight was startled because when it opened the door, a red-haired man was standing in the doorway, looking at it with a blank expression.

"You are not qualified to know my name. ”

The red-haired man's eyes were wide open and his attitude was arrogant, he looked at the Slime Knight with a blank face, and said, "I don't care about your plans and plots. But the Guardian you just mentioned is my ........"
