Chapter 936 Kondo Tatsuya (7k2)
Two days later, in the large conference room of Rimuru, the capital of the Monster Kingdom, a meeting between the human countries and the Monsters was being held.
In addition to Rimuru and his elite subordinates, the participants also included Veldora, the newly resurrected storm dragon, the Hero King Geiza of the Armed Power and Dwarf Kingdom of Dovagon, Alvis, the leader of the Three Beast Warriors of the Beast Kingdom, Fitz, the branch president of the Free Guild of the Bulmont Kingdom, and Duke Edora of the Magic Dynasty Sarion.
It can be said that in addition to the Western countries under the jurisdiction of the Western Holy Church, which collectively believes in the god Luminas, this place gathers the representative forces of Western countries and the new dominant force in the Jura Forest that separates the East and the West.
The meeting had to be temporarily interrupted shortly after it began, because several human countries heard the news of Veldora's resurrection for the first time and were greatly shocked and uneasy.
This is also a matter of course.
One of the only four dragons in the world, the younger brother of the Creator Star Dragon Veldnava, Veldora is a feared 'evil dragon'.
His terrifying magic can cast a shadow over the entire world. About three hundred and fifty years ago, he provoked the strongest hero of mankind because he destroyed a human city. After a fierce battle, he was sealed in the Jura Forest.
But even though he was sealed, his deterrent power was still enormous. For more than three hundred years, humans did not dare to enter the Jura Forest casually, and the escaped magic elements gave rise to countless monsters.
It is this kind of existence that caused the magic fluctuations to suddenly disappear two years ago, and the Jura Forest gradually ceased to be a forbidden area. This also led to a series of events such as Rimuru’s founding of the country. But now Rimuru suddenly told them... Veldora was resurrected and became her friend?
After Rimuru's long explanation, everyone finally accepted the matter. They learned that Veldora disappeared two years ago because she swallowed him to analyze the seal of the hero. Everyone complained about her "unreasonable" behavior but there was nothing they could do. They just felt that the Monster Kingdom was becoming more and more terrifying.
The meeting continued, and Rimuru told everyone in the human kingdom about his experiences along the way, including his encounter with Veldora, of course, including the fact that he was a "visitor from another world".
This slime was not normal to begin with, so this incident was not surprising. Or rather, it was more reassuring that she had once been a human.
Just as she was about to continue explaining the next goal, she suddenly heard the goblin leader Ligurd outside say respectfully: "Huh? You're back, Master Jixing, Master Shivana! That's great, Master Rimuru has been worried."
"Well, she's meeting a guest?"
"Yes, they are some distinguished guests from the human kingdom." Ligurud said, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report to the master... Also, who are these humans behind you?"
"A few special captives, from the Kingdom of Farmus." Ji Xing said, "The old man is a very famous wizard, the demon Lazan, and the other three are visitors from other worlds, summoners."
"Oh, Farmus's..."
Ligurd didn't think anything of it, but the people in the human kingdom looked at each other in bewilderment. Fitz asked uncertainly, "Demon... Razen?"
At the same time, Rimuru hurried out of the meeting room: "Oh, Ji Xing, I'm so glad that you are safe! Over in the Beast Kingdom..."
“Not too good.” Ji Xing made a solemn expression: “Milim should be controlled by Clayman. She knocked out the Lion King Karion and took him away. I couldn’t afford to offend her, so I just took the opportunity to protect the two three beast warriors and the warriors of the Beast King Warrior Group. Well, that’s about it.”
Lazan, Shengwu and the other two remained silent.
Arvis, who followed Rimuru, was shocked: "Lord Carion..."
Rimuru quickly comforted him: "As expected, there is nothing we can do if the opponent is Milim. But don't worry too much, Milim, Karion was only captured, not killed. Maybe Clayman still wants to control him, we still have a chance to save him! But in this case... do we have to add the possibility of fighting another Karion?"
The King of Wisdom: 《……》
Oh, Master also agrees with my speculation?
Rimuru nodded thoughtfully and looked at the four people behind Ji Xing: "I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Ji Xing. Speaking of which, I..."
Just when she was about to say 'massacre the Farmus Kingdom army', she remembered that the Dwarf King asked her to conceal it a little so as not to cause fear in the human kingdom, and she coughed lightly and said, "I have heard of this famous magician from the Farmus Kingdom before, and I was wondering why I didn't meet him, but you captured him?
And these three 'summoners' all look like Japanese, what are their names?"
Lazan, Taguchi Shogo and the other two looked a little reserved. They already knew that the army of Farmus Kingdom was wiped out by the 'Girl Slime' that looked pretty on the surface. They knew that Farmus had really chosen the wrong opponent this time, and Ji Xing saved their lives by capturing them.
After witnessing the duel between Ji Xing and Milim, they also realized how narrow-minded they were in the past. At this moment, their outlook on life is being reshaped. They dare not try to get close to Rimuru by saying that they are both Japanese, and they don’t know how to respond.
Just then, Fitz's shocked voice interrupted the exchange: "Is it really the demon Razen?!"
"Has that demon been captured?"
"Why don't you see any signs of magic that can restrain magic power? Don't you think it's dangerous to let him move freely like this?"
Well, the demon Lazen, who is known as the strongest magician in the Western countries, is such a fearful guy. He behaves so weak only because he met Ji Xing. You can tell from the fearful looks on the faces of these guests from the human kingdom.
“By the way, Rimuru, who is this?” Dwarf King Gaiza’s eyes lingered on Ji Xing and Shivana, feeling that these two were more important. “And Milim I just mentioned… could she be the legendary destructive tyrant? Is she controlled by Demon Lord Clayman? This is no joke, Rimuru!”
Oh no, Rimuru thought to himself.
She didn't want to hide it from everyone, she just didn't want to put too much pressure on everyone, but she was so surprised to see Ji Xing coming back that she forgot about it.
After a pause, she winked at Ji Xing, as if asking Ji Xing whether he wanted to introduce himself truthfully.
Ji Xing smiled and nodded, so Rimuru exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, showing his mighty power: "I have to introduce to you all, this is my friend Ji Xing, also a visitor from another world, a formidable strong man.
He is the legendary 'wild skill merchant', and a powerful saint! Miss Shyvana next to him is a flaming dragon!"
“Saint?” The Dwarf King, who was also a saint and known as the Sword Saint, looked at him intently: “At such a young age… he is really amazing. Is he as talented as Sakaguchi Hinata of the Western Saints Church?”
"A skill merchant in the wild?!" Fitz, the branch president of the Free Guild, always heard this legend from adventurers: "A skill merchant who rides a dragon to give away adventures, does it really exist?!"
"Hey, the power of the Tempest Federation is becoming more and more unfathomable."
Ji Xing and Shivana are not within my sphere of influence... Rimuru thought to himself but didn't say it out loud. He thought for a moment and said, "Diabolo, take these guests from the Kingdom of Farmus to rest first. I'll go find them after the meeting here."
"Yes, Lord Rimuru." The Black Ancestor Demon Diablo, who was named by Rimuru and dressed in a black suit to become a butler, walked towards the four people of Lazan. When he passed by Ji Xing, he glanced at him with his eyes and murmured in his heart: "Oh? On the surface, this guy is completely harmless, but this is even more terrifying. There is such a person beside Lord Rimuru. Should I be more careful?"
"Diabolo, you must treat them well!" Rimuru added, and then looked at the Hero King Gaiza and others and said, "Then shall we continue the meeting? Jixing, Shivana, this is about the future development of Tempest, you should also come and listen and give some suggestions."
"Row."
Perhaps because of the precedent of Veludela, everyone was more accepting. Except for Fitz who was a little emotional and surrounded Ji Xing to ask about some legends, everyone returned to the meeting room.
At this moment, the handsome yellow-haired young man leaning against the corner of the conference room, the Storm Dragon Veldora, gave everyone a "heavy blow on the head".
He raised his head and said proudly, "Not bad. You are just a creature of inferior bloodline who calls himself a dragon, but you can actually evolve to the level of an awakened demon king. Your name is Shivana?"
"What... awakening the demon king?!"
"Is that the Flame Dragon that Rimuru just mentioned?"
"She's also a demon king?!"
Then there was another series of shocks. Even Rimuru was surprised and asked, "Awakening? Miss Shivana was only a demon king before, right?"
"I was blessed by the master and got this opportunity." Shyvana explained briefly, looking at Veludera and said, "My bloodline is naturally inferior to your extraordinary origin, Lord Storm Dragon."
This was obviously a subtle sarcasm for Veldora using his birth to bully others, but Veldora didn't hear it at all. He laughed and said, "You are not bad either. It seems that you are lucky to have met a good master, just like I am lucky to have met a friend like Rimuru. Well, let's talk when we have time."
"It's my pleasure," said Shyvana.
Veldora lay down again and read the comic book that Rimuru had copied from the 'Holy Scripture'.
There was no conflict... Rimuru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have to be stricter with Veldora next time. Ji Xing looked at the book in Veldora's hand and smiled, "It's Detective Conan?"
"Oh, yes." Rimuru said, "I remember it was also very popular in China? If you are interested, Ji Xing, there are many copies over there."
“That’s not necessary.” Ji Xing smiled and said, “I’ve already watched all of them and seen the ending.”
“…Huh?” Rimuru was startled.
Veldora also put down the comic book and looked over. “Rimuru, didn’t you say that this book is not finished yet and we can just read the stories of solving the cases?”
“Ah… yes, yes.” Rimuru scratched his head in annoyance. “Maybe it’s because Ji Xing came two years later than me, so he has finished reading it?”
That said, Rimuru doesn't think so at all. Looking forward to the end of Detective Conan? If I hadn't been reincarnated into another world, I might not have survived the Elementary School Student of Death!
Veldora looked at Ji Xing and said, "Is that so? Then who is this mysterious leader of the Black Organization?"
"Karasuma Renya." Ji Xing smiled and said, "This was hinted and revealed a long time ago. He turned himself into a 'vampire' in order to achieve immortality. APTX4896 is also a drug developed for longevity."
"Vampires?" Veldora muttered, "There are vampires in the holy book? I remember a long time ago, I dismantled a vampire's palace. That guy seemed to be a demon king? His name was Lumis... or something."
Rimuru was a little surprised. No way, I have never heard of vampires. Has Ji Xing really watched the finale of Conan?!
She couldn't help but ask: "So in the end, will Kudo Shinichi be with Mao Lilan or..."
"Yes, they got married." Ji Xing nodded and said, "Kudo Shinichi followed in his father's footsteps, and Xiaolan became an actress. Their son also wanted to be a detective, but at that time, there were very few crimes in society."
Seeing Ji Xing's serious words, Rimuru believed it completely and asked again: "Childhood sweethearts really made it to the end, what about Haibara Ai?"
"Xiao Ai..." Ji Xing smiled: "She is also very good, she married me."
"Oh... huh??!"
Rimuru's eyes widened instantly, and two seconds later he said with a smile: "Jixing, you are actually an 'Ai Party'? Xiao Ai married you? That's a nice thought, I was fooled by you again!"
Shaking her head unhappily, she looked at the confused people in the Human Kingdom, apologized for going off topic, and reopened the meeting.
The meeting went smoothly, Rimuru completed the arrangements for the Kingdom of Farmus, and signed an alliance with the three human countries.
It was not until the end of the meeting that an unexpected incident occurred. With a bang, the door was pushed open and a tiny goblin, only 30 centimeters tall, rushed in and shouted, "I heard everything! This country will perish!"
The villain who broke in had yellow hair, golden eyes, and fairy wings on his back. He looked petite, cute, and plain-looking, but in fact, he was one of the three oldest demon kings - the labyrinth fairy Ramiris.
At the same time, she is also the Queen of Elves.
Thousands of years ago, the world mediator, the original red Guy, fought with Milim for seven days and seven nights in order to stop the runaway Milim. Just when the world was about to be destroyed, Ramiris intervened to stop the battle, but ended up being eroded by both Guy's magic and Milim's evil spirit, and degenerated into a fairy and a demon king, and her state became special.
It was obvious that she did not possess the intimidating power of a demon king. The people of the human kingdom, whose threshold of surprise had been raised by Veldora, Ji Xing and others, would no longer be surprised by her arrival.
Ramiris looked very dissatisfied: "Ehhhhh——?! You should be more surprised. I am the Demon King!"
"Well...well, maybe it's because there are already two demon kings here, and the demon king's friend is a demon king, so it's no big deal?" Someone said in a tone of coaxing a child.
“Hmm, two of you?” Ramiris was startled, and turned to look at Rimuru, then her gaze naturally fell on Shyvana: “Wow wow wow! What? An awakened Flame Dragon King suddenly appeared from nowhere! He looks super powerful!
But I am still the strongest! Yes, Lady Ramiris is the strongest demon king! You should start to respect me from now on!"
His ability to see through Shyvana's true colors at a glance is indeed extraordinary, but what she said afterwards while waving her little fists and throwing cute straight punches was not so convincing.
Or rather, no one took it seriously at all.
Rimuru grabbed her and put her on his shoulder. He nodded to Beretta, Ramiris's subordinate standing at the door, indicating that it was okay. Then he said, "Let's talk about business, Ramiris. You just said that the country is going to be destroyed... Is that Clayman going to hold a demon feast?"
"…Huh? How did you know?!"
"It's like this. Five nights ago, Clayman came to declare war on me."
Ramiris was shocked. “Is this true? I thought Clayman was the kind of demon king who only played tricks behind the scenes. How dare he be so bold as to declare war on you?”
“Maybe he used some trickery to control Milim and felt he had a sure win.”
“Eh, eh, eh——I thought the news of Milim declaring war on the Beast Kingdom was a little strange. Was she actually controlled by Clayman?!”
Well, the person who came to deliver the news was only surprised, and Rimuru unknowingly repeated the fact that Milim was controlled, causing panic and questioning among the people in the human kingdom.
Then the waves arose again, and the devil's feast was gradually unveiled in front of everyone.
Even though Ramiris has become a cute creature now, she is still one of the three ancient demon kings, and she knows more than most people. There is a reason why the "Demon King's Feast" has become a synonym for terror and the prelude to disaster.
Ordinary people are not aware of this, but kingdoms like the Magic Dynasty Sarion, which have been passed down for thousands of years, know that the real name of the "Demon King's Feast" that people fear is the "Demon War".
Every five hundred years or so, the celestial beings - or angels - would descend to the earth and indiscriminately exterminate humans and monsters, with the most advanced cities being their first targets of attack.
If things continue to develop like this, Tempest will definitely become the target.
It's not just the angels. Humans are also enemies of each other when the melee breaks out. The biggest enemy of the Western countries is the Eastern Empire across the Jura Forest. Its hegemony knows no time or place. As long as it finds that the Western countries are declining, it will immediately send troops to attack and try to unify the world.
"Well, the name of that country is very long, it seems to be called Nazca Namrium Ulmeria Eastern United Unified Empire." Ramiris said: "In short, it is a very dangerous and powerful country. Even Guy seems to be very afraid of it. Fortunately, the great Demon King Ramiris is here!"
She started to brag again, but no one paid attention. Rimuru turned around and asked, "The Eastern Empire... I really didn't pay much attention. Ji Xing, have you ever been there to sell your skills?"
“No.” Ji Xing said, “That area is an unlocked map and I’m too lazy to explore it.”
You're playing a game... Rimuru complained, while Ramiris asked curiously, "Huh? Who is this person? Selling skills?"
When she heard about the 'wild skill merchant', Ramiris's small body was almost boiling with excitement: "Wow wow wow——!"
She danced around Ji Xing quickly, "Sell me a skill. I want a super powerful one that can summon a bunch of minions!"
"Well, that kind... no." Ji Xing thought about it and shook his head. Just when Ramiris looked disappointed, Ji Xing smiled and said, "But I have another skill that is quite suitable for you. Try it?"
After selling skills to Milim, Ji Xing was basically "full capacity", so it would be no problem to sell a few ordinary B-level and A-level monsters, but it would be very difficult for a demon king like Rimuru. This was because when Shyvana was promoted to a demon king, she brought some magic elements to Ji Xing.
However, Ramiris is just right. Her own limit is very high, but she is in a weak period, and the amount of magic required to grant her skills is very small.
And there is one skill that is particularly suitable for Ramiris's situation - the passive skill of Lost Fang Gnar, Rage Gene! Grow bigger!
Amid the whispers, Ramiris's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally she cheered loudly.
Rimuru's face was filled with black lines: "Why did we go off topic again without realizing it? Weren't we talking about the Eastern Empire... No, that's a bit off topic too, weren't we talking about the Demon King's Feast?"
This meeting was a long one.
……
At the same time, in the Eastern Empire, a young man with neat short black hair, smooth bangs hanging around his eyes, and a gentle temperament was fiddling with two pieces of intelligence in his hands.
His name is Kondo Tatsuya, and he holds the rank of 'lieutenant' in the empire, but even the generals commanding the legions dare not underestimate him.
Because he is the dark side of the empire, he is known as a weirdo who feeds on intelligence. He coordinates the headquarters of the intelligence organization in the shadow of the empire and is the director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Eastern Empire.
He is always taciturn and expressionless, but his eyes are full of brilliance, giving people the feeling that he can see through everything, because he does have rich life experience. He has been in this world as a visitor from another world for nearly 70 years.
After sitting under the tree and thinking for a long time, he picked up the intelligence card again and murmured: "Ji Xing..."
I saw that on the intelligence card collected and compiled by my subordinates, Ji Xing's photo was printed exactly, and there was a lot of information displayed underneath it.
[Name: Ji Xing]
[Age: around 20 years old]
[Origin: Summoner of Farmus]
[Strength: Suspected to be an awakened person, or possessing single-digit strength equivalent to an awakened person]
[Subordinates: Flame Dragon King Shyvana]
[Skills/Details: Possess at least one unique skill and one ultimate skill. The ultimate skill is the support for becoming a "field skill merchant", and the effect is to grant skills to others, and it is suspected that power feedback can be obtained from the granting.
So far, he has bestowed more than 30 skills on more than 80 people, including swords, magic, and even healing magic. The skills of the weak are just the "skills" that can be achieved after careful training, but the powerful skills can be compared with unique skills.
I accidentally learned from a summoner from Japan that the skills he bestowed came from a game called League of Legends in another world, in which there are more than 150 "heroes", and each hero has at least five skills. I boldly speculate that the types of skills that Ji Xing can bestow will be nearly 800. 】
"A power similar to your majesty's."
Kondo Tatsuya murmured in his heart: "The difference is that the ability granted by His Majesty is his ultimate ability, which can only be borne by the awakened, and the individual strength is higher. The skills granted by this summoner are so complicated and diverse that they are ridiculous. Although the individual strength is not as good as His Majesty, it seems that there is no restriction on the receptor."
This is unparalleled command power.
If he were given an army and a certain amount of time, he could even make everyone at A-level, skillfully combine various skills, and build an unprecedented legion that would even have a stronger force than the army of angels!
“No… Judging from the frequency of his skill granting, this ultimate skill also has an upper limit. But even so…”
It's also very scary.
Such talents are worthy of being accepted by the empire.
From another perspective, if they are allowed to continue to be active in Western countries, it may have unpredictable impacts on the empire's hegemony!
At this moment, his thoughts were interrupted. An elite from the Intelligence Department appeared and reported:
"Lieutenant Kondo, the batch of magic steel promised by Demon Lord Clayman has arrived. We are urged to deliver the Empire's new weapons as promised!"
"Oh, I see." Kondo Tatsuya responded calmly, as if he was not at all bothered by this episode, and he did not explain anything about the new weapon.
He flipped over Ji Xing's intelligence card and picked up another one: "The slime that established a country in the Jura Forest, and the revived storm dragon Veldora? The evil dragon actually broke free of the seal, which is also a small obstacle."
Then... before this tool of Clayman runs out of energy, we must strive for the greatest benefit for the Empire. He put the two intelligence cards together and said, "Let's do it together."
……
In the next few days, life returned to normal.
The time for the Demon King's Banquet was getting closer, and Ji Xing and Shivana were traveling in the Monster Kingdom as if they were on vacation. Until noon on the day of the Demon King's Banquet, Rimuru found them.
The Monster Princess was full of resentment at the moment, and it was as if there was a ghost behind her. She looked at the two people eating barbecue and said angrily: "Ji Xing, why are you so leisurely?!
For five days, a full five days, I was busy with kingdom construction and war preparations. I was ten times busier than when I was working before. I finally arranged everything before the Demon King's Feast... What about you?!"
"We? We are enjoying the beauty of the town you worked hard to build." Ji Xing smiled.
"..."
Rimuru was silent for a moment, then said in frustration, “It seems that I am the only one destined to be a hard worker. Ramiris and Veldora also read comics all day long… No, after the Demon King’s Feast, I have to at least find a job for Veldora!”
“By the way…” She looked at Ji Xing seriously: “Although I have made all the necessary arrangements, I still don’t feel confident about facing Milim. I would feel more at ease if you were with me, right? Ji Xing, do you and Shyvana want to join us?”
"I will participate." Ji Xing said, "Originally, I would not mind participating or not, but in the past few days, two of the adventurers I have given skills to seem to have some problems."
"...Um, what's the situation?"
"A big tree attracts the wind, just like the protagonist in anime novels. If your presence is strong, there will always be people who don't know how to live or die and come to cause trouble."
Ji Xing shook his head and said, "Although I said there would be no after-sales service when I sold the skills, this does not include the unprovoked disaster caused by me."
Rimuru nodded heavily: "That makes sense."
Although she didn't know what the reason was, she just took it as a compliment. She felt relieved and thought that the chances of rescuing Milim were greatly increased.
In the silence of Raphael, the King of Wisdom, the night of the Demon King's feast arrived.
