Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Sudden Invitation

The operation to conquer Yuuki ends in failure.

But taking advantage of what we could, we re-established the Freedom Association for our benefit.

Thanks to our efforts in getting rid of Yuuki and his bystanders, the transition went smoothly.

In the end, one templar was left behind in each branch, and thus a new control system was created with the Church of the Western Saints as its head.

And the Church began to change its language and structure to more than just “spirit” worship.

Then there is the Free Arbitration Committee.

A new organization of the Western Association of Freedoms and Saints was formed.

Unlike the Board of – International Council, I mean – which operates by electing delegates, the Committee for Free Arbitration – consists of union masters of the Freedom Association.

Once established, it became a method for countries to negotiate on neutral grounds.

Sakaguchi Hinata was appointed as the first Chairman of the Committee.

And because the Church and the Templars refused to run for this office, his appointment was somewhat welcome.

Moreover, according to the information the templars had gathered, there did not appear to be any current dissent in the branch. I mean, we demon lords — Ramiris and I specifically — tend to operate behind the scenes, but there is a surprising lack of opposition even when we act openly.

So, after establishing this organization, we can join the countries around Jura forest with two unions – Council and Committee.

You need strong ties between countries in great unity.

It was the state of the world a month after the failed conquest attempt.

Of course, when everyone was busy setting up this new organization, I wasn't just playing around.

Three days after the failed attempt at conquest, he showed up.

Tearing apart the barrier of the Ingracia Kingdom, wearing silver armor, he appeared,

The Silver Knight Alrose.

Introducing himself as the servant of Platinum Devil Leon Cromwell, he gave me a letter.

It was an invitation.

As he promised, he invited me.

But... why now?

「Tuanku want to discuss the problem about” Hero “with you, Rimuru-sama」

After Alrose said so, I got an idea of what was in the store.

The letter came after the hero woke up completely – surely that was the cause.

Maybe Leon knows something about Chloe. It seems like they've crossed swords, so maybe there's something he knows we don't know.

I decided to accept the invitation. After all, I have never complained on behalf of Shizu-san.

It all depends on his intentions from now on.

“Good. I received an invitation 」

「Your kind words were wasted on us. My lord will be very pleased. Please, this way 」

Alrose has a helmet all the time so I don't know what kind of face he makes, but he must have sounded happy about it; oh, and he teleported.

Instant teleportation could be used by many high-level demons. Even though he used predetermined coordinates, it was still a big deal.

By the way, those who could teleport to any place (even those they had never visited) were extremely high-ranking existences. Even among my subordinates only Diablo can do it. This is not a skill you can use unless you have a spiritual body.

How it works is: Shadow Step -> Spatial Transfer -> Teleport.

You can also move using magic circles, but the previous three are skills, not magic.

I've used skills and magic in turn so I didn't even notice it, but there seems to be a difference. I mean, Hinata said there was, and she must be right.

Spatial transfer requires you to open the door and enter into it to travel. It's not something you can use during a battle. As for Teleportation magic, it instantly created and executed a magic circle that allowed instant travel. It could be used to dodge enemy attacks and such, so that the one who could use teleportation was strong enough.

But since it is usually only limited to your starting point and previously visited location, this skill does not determine the opponent's skill at all.

By the way, even the lowest spatial magic should be instantaneous, so one cannot let their guard down.

The second Silver Knight Alrose disappeared, a magic circle appeared where he stood. In other words, that's what I need to use to get there.

Magic knights, spatial magicians, and I'm sure he's very skilled with his teleportation abilities.

Damn you Leon, you have a good subordinate.

I guess I should go and teleport Benimaru, Shion, and the others.

ADVERTISMENTS

SCROLL TO RESUME CONTENT

As I am now, I feel I can impart skills without any problems, and it can increase our war potential.

So I thought when Alrose disappeared.

As an additional note, Hinata could also teleport. But, due to using so much magical energy, he could not currently.

But given his ability to do so without a spell: I can finally appreciate his true strength.

Although he could no longer use the ability of 『Mathematics』, he was still a genius magician.

He had indeed become weaker, but not as much as he claimed.

＊ ＊ ＊

And that's how I came.

Leon's land is more of a continent than an island. It is very large, and the cities are divided into several districts.

Forest District, Field, Lake, River, and Mountains.

Each sector is protected through a magic circle.

Land of nature and artificially created tranquility — magical cities.

It was the land of Demon King Leon Cromwell – El Dorado.

「Yo ... this is amazing」

I muttered.

「Hahaha, you're too good. My master would love to hear such a compliment 」

Alrose answered happily as he guided us.

At this moment, his helmet came off and beautiful silver hair fell on his back.

Even though she looks like a girl, it's a boy. He is the Captain of the Magic Knights.

So it's no wonder Leon believed him so much.

But, this country is truly amazingly built. The streets glistened as if they were made of gold.

Each building was carefully placed, and the spiral castle reached the sky.

If you look from above, you will see that a giant magic circle was created using the city itself. In other words, other than those who could see from above, the circle was invisible.

The circle is supplied with energy from its own citizens. Such careful construction tickled my pride a little.

There is no question: Tempest is a beautiful country. But we didn't put magic into the ground itself.

And that bothers me a little now.

「Rimuru-sama, what is amazing?」

Shion who was walking behind me asked.

Although he had to look over his head, he did not notice it. Just show how complicated this construction is.

「This city creates one giant magic circle.

It will alert them if there is an intruder. Even though it sealed the magic attack, the one that entered it would probably bounce back.

Just imagine being attacked with large-scale magic: this is an automatic victory for the city.

I wonder if we should copy it in Tempest? 」

「Oh? Sounds amazing, although I don't really understand 」

「Hahaha, as expected. Even though you didn't look from above, you've noticed so much.

Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. You are right; this city is proud of its absolute magical barrier 」

Alrose proudly answered.

Shion really doesn't understand. I don't think he recognizes magic. So it was no wonder that he could not understand it.

I wonder how difficult it is to create a city that includes two magic circles.

Just making one was definitely troublesome, but here they had two; and he also had to take into account the future developments. That's too incredible.

But this is a way for me to have fun. I will definitely apply the same in my country.

As soon as we left the magic circle room, the hallways were made out of class.

The scenery in the distance is filled with streams and waterfalls with beautiful designs.

Damn her! This town is beautiful.

Inevitably I accepted it, but it made me jealous – which then boosted my creativity!

And after walking ten minutes,

We were guided to one of the rooms in the Royal Palace.

The items are obviously luxurious, and certainly of good quality. The color pattern is white and gold.

Of course not poorly designed – he has good taste.

I guess it's meant not to intimidate people into a heart attack. And just as its exterior is decorated in beautiful gold, so is its interior.

In short: it doesn't make visitors nervous, and it's something I feel I can replicate easily.

As for Shion: the moment he entered, he sat down, started chewing on snacks and sipping tea; completely unaffected.

Hm? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Shouldn't I be like that?

Ignore that. If you pay attention to that kind of thing, you lose.

「Rimuru-sama, this sweet is very tasty. And not poisoned, please eat! 」

Shion said give me candy.

To think that cook Shion would talk about poison. Besides, the poison doesn't affect me.

And like that we waited 10 minutes,

Until the ruler of this country, Leon Cromwell appeared.

「Are you waiting a long time? Thank you for receiving the invitation in such a short time 」

He said and sat in the chair in front of me.

He was dressed more rudely than I remembered, and he spoke clearly.

Crossing her legs, she must have looked like she was in a movie.

Although Alrose was indeed handsome, Leon could only be described as beautiful.

Of course, it's not very pleasant of me.

But putting aside his virility problem, let's return to the main question.

I told him about CZ's last moments.

「Begilah ... He lives longer than I predicted」

Leon answered clearly.

But it doesn't make me angry. Maybe because I've noticed something,

「Hey, do you have Ifrit who has it to save his life?」

“Who knows? I may have done such a thing; I don't remember 」

Leon answered closing his eyes.

But it is clear that he is a lousy actor.

「Hmph .. whatever. I've earned.

Oh, and Ramiris mentioned something interesting: you crybaby? 」

When I said that, Leon's face turned desperate.

「That damn boy ... next time I'll rip his wings」

He said with anger.

Well, it doesn't seem like a lie.

「I'll tell him.

Oh, and you said something about calling a special individual, is that true? 」

That's when the room went quiet.

After some time passed, Leon seriously opened his mouth.

“It's very.

And that problem is related to the reason I asked you today 」

Leon said and glanced at Shion.

I nodded, though,

「Shion, this conversation is a bit complicated.

Please help Alrose with something, won't you? 」

I said ask Shion to leave.

「With all means. Shion-san, please help me in the prep room 」

Leon directed Alrose to say it with a glance.

Shion nodded silently and followed Alrose out of the room.

And that's why I'm alone with Leon in the room.

After confirming this fact,

「Do you know a little girl named Chloe?」

Leon asked.

Yup, everything is connected.

I'm not surprised that Leon mentioned this name.

Perhaps I had predicted such an outcome after listening to Hinata and Ruminas.

It explained who requested Yuuki's services for the summoning and why his condition was like that.

That is, why children are called and why most women>

He looks for Chloe from the beginning: Shizu-san and the others are just byproducts.

But what came out after that from Leon's lips really surprised me.
