Chapter 31
"Take a share?"
"That's right, you are lacking almost everything now, artisans, food, staff, etc."
"If I invest in it now, I will have a certain say in the future. After all, I am the initial shareholder, so I will have greater advantages in the future, right?"
"I can provide you with a certain amount of food, supplies and weapons"
"But Rimuru, you have to know that even if we are both reincarnated, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"The more you take from me now, the more you will have to give back to me in the future. Think about it carefully."
"I really admire you, Rimuru."
Giving away resources for free is impossible, even if Rimuru is very cute.
His subordinates are short of certain resources, how can he give them away for free?
If Rimuru regards the future Monster Kingdom as a dowry, Ling Yan thinks she can consider it.
This deal is not a loss.
"(⊙o⊙)…Forget it, I don’t have anything valuable."
Rimuru admitted that he was excited when he heard about the provision of food and supplies, but he was not the kind of slime that coveted resources!
Yes, he really was that kind of slime.
But he couldn’t afford the price, so was he going to sell him out?
"Is that so? It's a shame, but I would like to join your forces as an individual. Is that possible? Lord Rimuru?"
"Yes, but Lord Rimuru, please spare me."
Rimuru felt a little flustered when a big man called him Lord.
"Well, it's obviously a slime, why is there a mimicry of fear?"
Ling Yan picked up Rimuru in slime form, turned him left and right, and looked at him. There was nothing special.
"I said...Is it really okay for you to play with me like this?"
"? You are a slime, a very rare slime at that. Is there any problem if I study you from a professional perspective?"
"...No"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. From now on, I will be your friend. If you have any trouble, you can come to me."
"By the way, if it is something particularly troublesome, don’t ask me for help. After all, I am also a person who is afraid of trouble."
"..."What's wrong with this person? So bad, so bad.
"I said, Rimuru, are you saying bad things about me in your heart? I can see it."
"No way!"
"But look at yourself, you have become weak, do you still dare to say that you are not lying?"
"Uh, I'm not lying, it's just because I'm a slime"
"oh"
"Don't look so unbelieving!!!"
"Okay, okay, I believe you. From now on, I will be your major shareholder. Hurry up and get to work, little brother."
"...Damn money!"
Rimuru held a large bag of gold and diamonds that Ling Yan threw to him.
This was all money! He had never seen so much money before.
Everyone went to the goblin village where Rimuru was.
After returning from the dwarf country, Rimuru's village had undergone tremendous changes.
"It seems that they heard the rumors about Lord Rimuru, and gathered from the nearby goblin village to seek shelter. Ignoring Rimuru's confused look, the goblins suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly,"Lord Rimuru, welcome home."
So what happened? While Rimuru was still confused, a representative who looked like a clan leader stood up.
"We hope to follow you and become your subordinates!"
A clan leader spoke on behalf of the crowd, and the goblins around him nodded in agreement.
"Please show me mercy!"
The goblins looked at Rimuru with expectant eyes, and they all knelt on the ground in unison, bowing deeply.
To be honest, Rimuru felt it was very troublesome.
They still have reconstruction work to do, so they don't have time to take care of you, okay!
Although he wanted to refuse with this sentence, the village was indeed short of manpower. Anyway, everyone would fight for territory in the future, so it might be a good thing to absorb them now.
If they rebel, then kill them all.
Rimuru will never allow betrayal.
To lead monsters, being too kind will hinder the management, and you must be ruthless to deal with them. On the one hand, I also want to force myself to make up my mind, so I let them join.
Rimuru reminded himself again.
If these guys dare to betray, I will kill them all.
Then again... it was so easy to decide to kill them all!
Rimuru was frightened by his own thoughts.
Forget it, it's better than worrying there.
Rimuru's scene was deeply seen by Lingyan, who shook her head without making any comments.
Rimuru, yo...Do you still consider yourself a human being?
The population has increased by 500 people.
In the past few days, the work has been either making axes or using the axes to chop trees and process the wood. It has been too late to build houses. There are too many things to do.
Kaijin is in charge of the wood-related work.
The three dwarf brothers are processing furs one after another and making clothes for the goblins.
Speaking of the way the three brothers look at Goblinna, it is really strange.
Therefore, Rimuru asked them to speed up the work.
Rimuru looked at the resources he had. Now the only thing left is to move.
If we move now, we only need to do it once.
After making up his mind, Rimuru began to check the map in his mind.
Geographically, open places close to water sources and suitable for farming are the most ideal.
Looking through the places we have walked before, the most suitable condition is... the surrounding area near the first cave.
Let's call Ligurdo here and ask about the situation in that area.
Just as everyone was preparing to move, Ling Yan walked up to Rimuru and said something inexplicable.
"Rimuru, are you serious about the first of your three rules?"
"Don't let yourself regret it...."
(ps. Please collect flowers and tickets for the new book. Alas, it’s another day without tickets and flowers. Could it be that he has been going somewhere these days? I’m so envious!)
