Chapter 931 Ji Xing and Rimuru (7k2)
"Well, that's probably the situation. With my unique skill, 'Soul Burial Master', Shion can survive in this state for seven days. If you can't think of any other way, there are only two options.
One is to let her sign a contract and become my subordinate, so that she can become my heroic spirit. The other is to send her to reincarnation as intact as possible, and when she grows up to her teens, there is a 50% chance that she will awaken the memory of this life."
Facing the silver-haired 'girl' with a hint of aqua blue in front of him, Ji Xing made such an explanation.
Shion's soul rushed over and tried to hug her legs but passed through them. He said firmly: "Don't feel sad for me, Lord Rimuru! I have discussed it with him. I don't want to reincarnate. Although I am confident that I will never forget you, I have to leave you for more than ten years!
I choose the second one, but please rest assured that even if I become his heroic spirit, I can continue to be your secretary. He will only use me in emergencies. My heart still belongs to you!"
The 'girl' opened her mouth slightly, and her big watery golden eyes were confused, just like a little girl who was in a daze, very cute.
But 'her' soul is a man.
That's right, she is Rimuru Tempest, the leader of the Jura Tempest Federation. His original name is Mikami Satoru. After his death, he was reincarnated as a slime in this world.
Because Devour inherited the appearance and wishes of Izawa Shizue, she now looks like a cute girl of twelve or thirteen years old. The influence of being a monster slime also made her gradually become 'asexual'.
At this moment, she had just returned to the town and saw this scene. Too much information overloaded the slime's brain. She looked at Ji Xing, then looked down at Shion, who was swearing loyalty with red eyes, and a strange feeling came to her mind.
'I say Shion... what's going on with this strong NTR feeling? ! '
She brainstormed today's experience - after finishing the course for several children in the Kingdom of Ingracia, she was ready to teleport back to the Federation, but found that the teleportation was invalid.
Then she was attacked by Hinata, a disciple of Miss Jing. I don't know who twisted the things between Miss Jing and me, so that Hinata didn't listen to her explanation at all... Speaking of which, I still feel scared when I think of Hinata's sword. Even without that barrier, I'm afraid I wouldn't be her opponent.
After escaping from the barrier by faking death, I used the cave that sealed Veldora as the coordinates to teleport to the vicinity. After learning from Gavier and Cang Ying that the town was attacked, she hurried back.
The result is... this fellow villager who happened to be a 'wild skill merchant' and his mount servant, the Flame Dragon, came to the town and protected the town.
Only Shion died.
As his secretary, Rimuru and Shion had been getting along for a long time like family. Logically, she should be very sad about this, but the scene of Shion's soul throwing herself at her legs... made Rimuru really a little sad.
More importantly... as a reincarnated person, she would think more than the monsters. Everyone was fine, but only Shion was in trouble. Why did she feel that this fellow villager was a bit deliberate?
Well, no, after all, he helped a lot, and it's not good to suspect a fellow villager for no reason.
Rimuru just thought of this, and her unique skill 'Great Sage' analyzed in her mind:
《Information. According to the existing information, the probability that the individual named 'Jixing' deliberately created that only Shion died is 99.9%. 》
Oh! Does the Great Sage think so too? !
Rimuru was startled and looked at Jixing. So his purpose was... to take Shion away from me? !
《...Tell me. The probability that the individual name 'Jixing' wants to take Shion away is less than 1%.》
...Huh? Isn't it? Ignoring the personality, the monster girl Shion with big breasts and good looks should be very attractive to men, right?
Ugh... It's a pity that I don't have any tools...
《...Tell me. Without the help of the individual name 'Jixing', the number of deaths would exceed a hundred under the influence of the barrier.》
The analysis of the great sage shocked Rimuru and temporarily put aside other thoughts.
Yes, although it is a bit unfair to Shion to think so, the casualties in front of him are already a blessing in disguise. If he comes back to see a pile of corpses... Rimuru can't imagine such a scene, which also makes her heart rise with some anger and doubt.
Is my decision wrong? Why does the Kingdom of Farmus do this? Is it really impossible for humans and monsters to live in peace?
《Tell me. Unable to analyze. 》
Well, the great sage doesn't have an answer either?
"I'm sorry, Jixing." She looked up and said to Jixing: "My mind is a mess now, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with. I will entertain you later and thank you solemnly."
"It's okay, I understand." Jixing said: "You take care of yourself first, and other things will be discussed later."
"Well..." Rimuru looked down at Shion's soul again. The "crying lady" and the strong sense of being a widow made her look strange for a moment, and she quickly said seriously: "It's okay, Shion. There are still seven days, right? I will definitely find a way to save you and will not let you die completely!
And you, you have learned a lesson this time. Don't be impatient in the future. Be calm, calm! Do you understand?"
"Woo woo woo... Lord Rimuru... I know I was wrong, I just... Then please help me keep my body..."
In such a harmonious atmosphere, Ji Xing ended his first meeting with Rimuru.
…
After sorting out his thoughts, Rimuru hurried to see Myulan Yum and others who had been detained by Hong Wan and others to understand the situation.
Ji Xing and Shivana lived in the single-family building arranged by Zhu Cai for them, and to express his gratitude, Rimuru, as the leader of the alliance, directly gave Ji Xing the right to live here permanently.
After checking the house facilities, Shivana, as a guard, chose to live on the first floor. Just when she wanted to ask Ji Xing if there was anything she needed to buy, she suddenly walked to the window with an expressionless face and opened it.
"You are worthy of being the legendary dragon." Bai Lao's figure appeared there, and he laughed: "I just arrived and you found me."
"What's the matter?" Shivana said coldly.
"Although it's a bit rude, can't you ask me to go in first?" Bai Lao asked.
"You want to go in through the window?"
"Sorry."
Shivana turned back to ask Ji Xing, and after getting Ji Xing's affirmation, she went to open the door. Sword Ghost Bai Lao walked in through the door and apologized to Ji Xing again:
"Sorry to disturb your rest, Mr. Ji Xing, I came to thank you for my useless disciple Gobda. The sword skill "Alpha Assault" you sold him is really magical. Even I was hurt by that kid when I was not careful."
"That's it?" Ji Xing asked with a smile.
Bai Lao shook his head gently: "No, although it's a bit presumptuous, I still have a question to ask you-Mr. Ji Xing's power of being able to name the dragon and give his own skills to others is probably beyond my imagination.
Your unique skill Guardian can cover and protect the town in an instant, which should also mean that the entire town situation is under your control, right? Forgive me for being rude, Shion's death..."
"I noticed it, but there is no way to save it." Ji Xing answered his doubts directly.
"Sure enough." Bai Lao was stunned for a moment: "Although there is no reason for you as a traveler to do more, I still want to understand the reason.
With this dragon girl here, you should not need Shion's following, so... what is your purpose? Of course, I asked casually, if you don't want to say it, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"No, it's just right for you to convey it to Rimuru." Ji Xing smiled and said: "There are many divine arts that can resurrect the dead, but none of them can be done by Rimuru now. There is only one way she can achieve it-becoming a demon king, driving the subordinates connected to the soul to evolve, and resurrecting Shion."
"Become... a demon king?" Bai Lao was stunned.
"The condition is to kill 10,000 people with your own hands." Ji Xing continued: "This attack on the Kingdom of Farmus is actually her chance. If no one died under my protection, it would be difficult for her to make up her mind. And if she doesn't become the Demon King, she won't have enough power to protect this kingdom."
"Ten thousand people..." Bai Lao murmured: "So that's it... the army of Farmus? Do you want Lord Rimuru to become the Demon King?"
"It's not me who wants her to become the Demon King, but this Demon Federation needs her to become the Demon King. I'm here for a vacation, not to protect this place."
"I see." Bai Lao said: "In your opinion, we and Lord Rimuru need to have stronger power if we want the Jura Tempest Federation to be more stable.
I heard from Hei Bingwei that you are also a forger with legendary skills? I wonder if I have a chance to ask you about the legendary weapon you just obtained and your swordsmanship?"
He said to ask, but as a sword ghost who is extremely good at swordsmanship, hundreds of years of swordsmanship training have given him great confidence in his swordsmanship. He can even block the attack of Alpha Raid.
Of course, he didn't think he had a chance to win. Ignoring the sword skills, the level of the two was probably as different as heaven and earth. It was just that after seeing Alpha's surprise attack, he wanted to see more "sword skills" and improve his skills.
So an hour later, Gobda, who rushed to the practice field, saw Bai Lao standing in front of the sword wooden stake, in a daze.
"Old man, you are really here!"
He wondered: "Didn't you receive the message from Lord Rimuru to summon the cadres? Is it because of this barrier that it didn't reach so far? Speaking of which, there are so many things going on in the town now, why did you suddenly run to the practice field and be in a daze? Could it be..."
Gobda had a strange smile on his face: "Because you were defeated by me, you are secretly practicing here?"
Bai Lao came back to his senses and glanced at him sideways.
"It turns out that the world is so vast. Even I am just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It is not surprising that you are proud and complacent because of a small achievement, Gobda."
"...Ah?"
"But starting tomorrow, the intensity of all training will be doubled for me!" He said sternly: "Gobda, the sword skills you bought are just bought after all, you have to transform them into your own things!"
"...Ah?! Double? Spare me, old man! You are deliberately taking revenge, I will tell Lord Rimuru!"
"Hmph, Rimuru, The Lord also needs to practice more." Bai Lao snorted coldly and said, "Let's go. Didn't you call me to a meeting? It just so happens that I have something to report to her."
"... Become a demon king?" A few minutes later, in the meeting room, Rimuru looked at Bai Lao in surprise and said, "You want me to become a demon king?"
"Yes, I have thought about it, and perhaps this is the only way to make Shion come back to life within seven days." Bai Lao said, "That is to let Lord Rimuru become a demon king and drive all the monsters named by you to evolve."
Benimaru was surprised: "Master, you actually know how to become the Demon King?"
"There are always some benefits to living longer."
"inform. The probability that Bai Lao will learn this information from Ji Xing is more than 60%. 》
I can tell that kind of thing without you having to tell me. Rimuru, who returned to his slime form, was held in Shuna's arms, and said to the great sage in his heart, kill ten thousand people...will you become the devil?
After all, that was 10,000 living people, and this time the town's losses were far less than the original, so Rimuru, who was originally a human, hesitated, but at this time he heard cheers.
"Okay, then let's have a big fight and annihilate Farmus' army!"
Shion was full of energy. She waved her arms and passed through Rimuru's body. She paused for a moment and said pitifully: "It's not a pity that the kingdom that even the old people and children want to kill is destroyed. You will become the devil to save me, Rimuru." grown ups!"
"Ah, that..."
The slime cutely wiped the sweat from his forehead with his two short hands, and said silently in his heart: Because the funny thing about Ziyon's soul always being around me always makes me not feel that she is dead, so I ignore it. The evil deeds Farmus has done.
Yes, they don't deserve forgiveness!
"I know, just do it!"
So in order to protect the Demon Kingdom Federation and resurrect Shion, Rimuru decided to make his debut as the Demon King.
…
"Phew...it feels so comfortable. I feel like the tension and fatigue of the day have completely disappeared."
Late at night, the blue slime was soaking in the steaming hot spring, rising and falling as if melting inside. He squinted his eyes comfortably and said:
"How is it, Ji Xing, the hot spring here is not bad, right? This is the natural hot spring water that Souei and I dug bit by bit. We originally wanted to send it to everyone's home, but it was just the two of us. The project The amount is a bit too large, so a public hot spring pool can only be built here.
Don't look at it like this, even compared to Arima Hot Spring in our world, this place is more comfortable. Well, maybe it's because there is magic in the hot spring water in this world, right? "
Ji Xing leaned on the edge of the pool, put his hands on the shore, and praised: "It's really good. In the past year, I have traveled to almost all Western countries, even the Holy French Empire. Even though the buildings are more luxurious and beautiful than yours, the living here is comfortable." The speed is far less than what you have here.”
"Hahaha." Slime flapped his two short hands happily: "After all, people in this world would not enjoy life without us. As for the construction, Tempest has only been established for more than a year, and it needs to be slow. Slow to perfection.
And to tell you the truth, before I was reincarnated, I worked in a large construction company. I was an experienced employee. This is what I am good at! "
"Well, I'll wait for you to build it and live there." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Come on."
"...emmm, it feels weird. Hey, why does it sound like you, as a fellow countryman, want to just lie back and enjoy my efforts?!"
Slime opened his eyes wide and said, "If you want to live more comfortably in this world, just work hard with me!"
“Why work hard when you already have it?”
"Oh, you said something very shameless in an understatement!" Slime muttered: "By the way, I really envy your life.
A 'wild skills merchant', with such magical skills, can easily leave his own legend in the world, becoming the 'Qiyu' and 'senior' that people long to see. No one dares to be your enemy... Well , isn’t this the hermit master in the biographical novel? It’s so comfortable! "
It waved its two little arms excitedly: "It's not like me. I live a life of hard work. I was reincarnated into a slime and lost even the most important things. Alas, what a misfortune -!"
"Imitate Kamijou Touma? Can Master Touma's beauty be compared to yours?" Ji Xing said with a smile.
"...It feels good to have someone who understands my jokes and picks up my jokes, but it's too much to just take it personally!" Slime complained.
porphyrin——
In the sound of bouncing, the slime returned to the appearance of a twelve or thirteen-year-old beautiful girl. She imitated Ji Xing's posture and leaned on the other side. However, due to height issues, she couldn't touch the ground with her hands on her buttocks, so she had no choice but to lean on the other side. Ups and downs.
"So...I've introduced myself a lot, it's your turn. Ji Xing...is that your real name? Last name or first name? What did you do before you were summoned?"
"Ji Xing is my full name." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I didn't say I was Japanese, right? My surname is Ji Mingxing, and I am Chinese."
"...Huh?!" Rimuru was stunned.
"As for the profession... I've come across a lot of things and learned a lot. I'm probably the descendant of the legendary hidden sect. I have learned a lot of unique skills and traveled down the mountain. I was addicted to the League of Legends game for a while, and I was accidentally summoned. come over."
"...It sounds ridiculous, but the details are similar?" Rimuru murmured: "I didn't expect you to be non-Japanese. Most of the summoners I see now are Japanese.
Well, I have been in this world for more than two years, and you should be much longer than me. Have you seen other summoners and reincarnated beings? I don’t know if we both know each other. "
"No, I have just been here for more than a year, and I have only met three summoners from the Kingdom of Farmus. They are not good people. They followed the troops of Farmus to invade the town before, and they were caught by me. I see Let’s see if we can correct their personalities and see you again after they have done so.”
"Well, you helped me like this? Summoners should have very powerful unique skills. It seems that if it weren't for you, the town would have suffered much more damage than I expected."
Rimuru didn't ask where the three were imprisoned. He just thought about the gaming skills in League of Legends that he was not very familiar with, and then said in surprise: "You said you have just been here for more than a year? That's too exaggerated!
It's almost like Hinata... Sakaguchi Hinata, have you ever heard of it? She is also a visitor from another world. After being exiled to this world, she only learned sword skills from Miss Jing for a month before surpassing her. Now she is the head of the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom of France, Saint Hinata, and she is so powerful! "
She commented, slightly absent-minded: "It's the same as what Miss Jing said. He was a guy who couldn't listen to other people's explanations when he was excited. This time I was almost hacked to death by her... This is not the point. The point is that I seemed... betrayed. .
Well, that's just speculation. I hope it's not the person I thought. Compared with the conflict with the Kingdom of Farmus, being stabbed in the back by a fellow countryman who should obviously help each other... would make me sadder. "
Her golden pupils glanced at Ji Xing, who smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't. If I want to do you harm, I will cut you with a sword from the front. After all, I am also a saint, so I should be more powerful than Hinata. It’s easy to kill you now.”
"puff……"
Rimuru sank into the water, took a sip of hot spring water, and jumped out as a slime. He gestured with his little hands and said, "What? Are you that saint too? Both of you are beyond the limit, right? ! As a fellow countryman, this puts a lot of pressure on me, okay?”
"When you have pressure, you have motivation."
"It's so easy to say..."
Slime muttered, puffed out bubbles in silence for a while, and said: "I may be a little naive, Ji Xing. This journey has been so smooth, and I feel a little carried away. Someone has obviously warned me, but still If you are so careless that you are completely unprepared, the town you have worked so hard to build would really be in dire straits.
Let me say thank you again. With your kindness this time, you can rest on my efforts and enjoy it. It’s up to you! For the Jura Tempest Federation and the subordinates who trust me, I have to work really hard next! "
The little slime raised his fist to the sky in an imposing manner, but his big eyes peeked at Ji Xing.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Should I politely say, 'Come on, I will help with anything I can'?"
"... Ji Xing, who are you?!"
Slime almost choked, and after a while he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, as expected, the monster is still innocent. Now I do have something I want to ask you for help, although it is a bit excessive..."
"Don't say anything too much."
"Uh, but only you can do this." Slime's face turned a little red: "I hadn't thought about it at first... but you said that you are a saint and more powerful than Hinata, so you shouldn't encounter too much. There is a big danger, so I can only ask you.
My good friend...well, Demon King Milim has declared war on my ally, the Beast Kingdom, and will launch an attack in seven days. I think this thing is very strange, maybe it is related to the attack on Tempest and the conspiracy of Demon King Clayman.
I'm worried about Milim, and the Demon King Kalion of the Beast Kingdom is also good... I should have gone there by myself, but you also know the situation on Shion's side. I want to destroy the Farmus Kingdom within seven days. Army, become the Demon King, but it will take about three days just to analyze the seal in the town, and the time is really tight. "
"Of course!" It gestured with its arms and emphasized: "I don't want you to stop the war, just help me see the results of the war and Milim's condition in secret.
There are many hidden skills in League of Legends, right? Hmm, maybe you can become invisible standing in the grass? Anyway, you should be able to do it. "
"You really have confidence in me." Ji Xing shook his head and smiled: "That is the tyrant of destruction, Demon King Milim. One of the strongest demon kings with the power to destroy the world is no joke."
"Ah...ah?" Slime opened his mouth in surprise: "Is Milim that powerful?"
Although he knew that Milim was very powerful, Rimuru still couldn't make the connection between the little girl who could be coaxed with honey and the destruction of the world. He only thought that she was 'averagely powerful'.
"Then... let's forget it then?"
"No, I'll go." Amidst the sound of rushing water, Ji Xing stood up from the hot spring and went ashore, leaving Rimuru with his back and saying: "Since you have the shamelessness to ask, I will run over for a while. It just so happens that I am also curious about how powerful the strongest demon king in the world is."
"...Hey! Ji Xing, please don't mess around, be careful!" Rimuru said quickly.
The only response was Ji Xing's broad back and reassuring wave of his hand.
When Ji Xing disappeared, there was a porcupine sound, and the slime rebounded into a beautiful girl. She murmured with sadness on her face: "What the hell? If I had known better, I wouldn't have made this request. He is obviously a lazy person who lies flat." , why is he so energetic and righteous all of a sudden? If something happens to him, it's because of Milim, then I'm really..."
"inform. The probability of the individual named ‘Ji Xing’ going to the Beast Kingdom at the request of the subject is no more than 5%, and the probability of going to the Beast Kingdom out of his own volition is more than 95%. 》
"..."
Rimuru twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Is that so? Really, this guy can really choke people with his words and actions. He definitely doesn't have many friends in the original world! But having said that, I don't hate this kind of character. , I was quite worried about his conspiracy at first, but now that I look at it..."
"inform. The individual named "Ji Xing" can kill the current subject with one sword. To tell the truth, the probability of having a conspiracy is less than 5%. 》
"..."
"inform. The main reason why the subject feels not annoying and relieved is 99% due to the outstanding language skills of the individual named ‘Ji Xing’ and the gap in emotional intelligence. 》
"..."
Great Sage, your emotional intelligence must be negative!
"inform. The ‘Great Sage’ is only a unique skill attached to the subject’s soul. All knowledge, emotional intelligence and other conceptual things originate from the subject. 》
"..."
…
So the next day, the monsters in the Demon Federation discovered that the alliance leader Rimuru, who was dispatching troops and preparing for special training, had a small face most of the time. They thought she was angry because of the Farmus Kingdom's actions. Shion's The ghost was so moved that he cried bitterly, "the ghost cries and the wolf howls".
In this way, she accumulated enough momentum. Three days later, the Great Sage completed the analysis of the 'Four Directions Seal Demon-Sealing Barrier' around the town. Rimuru led the army to go out and began the key battle for her to awaken as the true Demon King. !
At a similar time, Ji Xing also left the Demon Kingdom Federation on Sivana and headed to the Beast Kingdom, preparing to intervene in the battle between Milim and Karion.
Oh, one more thing before that.
In the military tent of Farmus Kingdom, Demon Razan terminated the magic with some worry.
"There is still no reaction at all. Have Shogo and the three of them really been killed? How could the monsters still have such power under the four-way sealing demon barrier? What happened to the 'invulnerability' reported by those knights?"
Suddenly, a chill froze his spine, and he found that a hand had unknowingly held his collar!
"Who are you……"
"You go in too."
Ji Xing threw it away casually, and Razan went to a different space to keep company with Shogo Taguchi and the other three, adding another one to the VIP audience.
