Chapter 22: The Explosive Development of the Demon Kingdom
After the establishment of the demon kingdom Hekatia Tempest, it immediately became busy.
For Rimuru, the top priority is to name all monsters in order to improve their abilities and thus improve construction efficiency, as well as to make them easier to identify.
After devouring the pig-headed demon king and evolving into the true demon king, his unique skills [Great Sage] and [Predator] integrated some of the skills acquired from Crounpith and acquired through experience, and evolved into [King of Wisdom] respectively.
With [Gluttony King], the total amount of magic elements and the recovery efficiency have been greatly improved, making the naming task quite simple.
The pig-headed tribe, lizardmen and goblins, which currently account for the largest proportion of monsters in the population, have very low base strength as monsters compared to Rimuru, and the naming cost is not large, so apart from Crownpis, Toppicosi is interested.
Apart from giving the naming of all the monster groups to Crounpisi's subordinates, it was all completed in two days.
This time, under the intervention of Crounpith, the pig-headed tribe really killed too many people. In order to obtain high-quality souls, magic elements and sacrifices, the pig-headed generals and higher-level pig-headed soldiers also killed them all. All of them.
There are not enough high-level individuals to show the plug-in performance like the Pig-Head Emperor, who can share the ability with the whole family just by eating one. But there is a different kind of surprise——
On the one hand, they have become a lot stronger, and they seem to be very ordinary to Rimuru, but you must know that in the original time and space, naming more than 100,000 pig-headed tribes cannot distinguish the excess magic. Sure enough, the small number will lead to the elite route;
On the other hand, the new abilities that can be obtained by monsters named by Rimuru include the monster's original basic performance, their own wishes, and the degradation branches of abilities given by Rimuru.
The Pig-Head Tribe was originally a race that could endure hardships and hard work. After being given the name and evolving into the Pig-Men Tribe, they collectively gained the skill [Building Creation].
Although it has deteriorated to the scale of [Earth/Wood Release: Three-Bedroom and Two-Living Jutsu], it cannot directly build a fully functional and decorated house like Crounpis and Rimuru. It can only synthesize simple geometric shapes and materials.
You also need to prepare your own. But because every pig has one, expanding the town is quite smooth. It is more flexible and convenient to open up wasteland. You can find edible plants unique to the big forest for planting. At the same time, you can also find wild crops.
.
The lizardmen actually have cultivation skills. Gaviru, who had been ruined by his previous chaos, was "exiled" and went to Rimuru. Surprisingly, they have good cultivation talents.
After having the ability, the problem of the mutation of the Hippokut herb caused by the remains of the Ten-Tailed Sacred Tree that Crounpisi cultivated in the sealed cave and the need to move the cultivation site were solved. The mutated Hippokut was also able to be
Herbs serve as a basis for developing medicines for other uses.
It is also worth mentioning that not only the monsters in the Jula Forest are present, but soon after, those fleeing monster groups who heard that peace was restored in the Jula Forest also came back, and they also brought some races from the grassland, including those who had already
The Yalang clan who returned to Rimuru became the Star Wolf clan like Ranka after accepting Rimuru's naming of the entire race.
They all have the same ability as Ranka and Souei [Shadow Shuttle]. They can enter the shadow, move in a straight line at high speed as if teleporting, and jump from one shadow to another.
Although it is not as fast as space movement, and its speed is not as fast as Souei's ninja teleportation mode that really looks like a space jump, but this is what the town needs now.
Not a single monster, devil, or demon thought of this, and Rimuru didn't think of it in time. While it was a pity that the narrow space of [Shadow Shun] could not be used as a means of large-scale transportation, he also used the ability of the Star Wolf clan to transport some important small things.
and as a means of express delivery.
Instead, it was Crounpith, an outsider, who thought of it and said: "It's rare to make a city. The problems of using fire and lighting were solved by the [King of Wisdom] and dwarf craftsmanship. The Jura Forest also found the texture."
Resin, which is similar to rubber and plastic, has improved the quality of necessary parts such as wheels and shoe soles. So what are you waiting for? Is it worthy of a city to only rely on canals and wells to divert water? Hurry up and connect every house with water pipes. There is room for [Ying Shun]
By skimming underground, the water pipes are pulled up all the way, eliminating the need for excavation and landfilling.”
"Then let's just make a shower, a toilet, and a toilet at the same time." Rimuru said, even if he didn't need the latter at all.
Of course, you can't mess around underground, and planning takes time, but the monsters put it into action immediately. They first connected the water pipes to Demon King Rimuru's house so that he could use water and take a bath at home.
Souei also secretly took advantage of his skills to pull the water pipes for his house, but since people use them based on their ability, this is the default.
Some people may want to ask the previous question: How to solve the problem of using fire and lighting? In fact, fuel cannot be squandered casually, but magic props can be used casually. Monsters, demons and demons are different from humans, and they are born with magic elements that can be used
; Rimuru asked the [King of Wisdom] to also participate in the design, simplifying the life that dwarves can currently build and using magic props for lighting as much as possible, and reducing the materials and craftsmanship. After making the sample, he swallowed it into his body, and then used enough materials to make it.
If you swallow it, it will be continuously synthesized and spit out in the body. This also applies to other supplies that are urgently needed due to the population explosion.
Thanks to this blessing, after the magic machine provided by Crownpis was finally successfully made, there were many monsters with great strength, fast and long distances, and there was not enough steel. Motorized vehicles and ships were not mass-produced, but they were built.
Something like a power plant that supports city operations has been produced.
Crounpis complained that this was extremely cheating. It was even more cheating than creating magic with props.
Perhaps placing a large amount of production on Rimuru is not a reasonable production relationship structure, nor is it a long-term solution. But what is important now is to survive the explosive expansion period of establishing the Demon Kingdom and accepting various joining races, and then we can
Rimuru's skills have steadily developed without relying on him.
There are factional issues in the management system.
When the town was first established, Rimuru, with the help of Ultima, established six departments: construction, management, administration, military, intelligence, and security. They were managed by named monsters who were relatively good at each aspect. Now the new
After adding an agriculture and animal husbandry department, named monsters with more civilized talents and cultivation value were sent in again.
This seems to be no problem, but the most suitable talent in this field is the one Picosi was looking for when he wandered around the Jura Forest.
Crounpis has not joined the management team, but the fact that she is Rimuru's "superior demon" will never change. If there is a conflict, who will listen becomes a question.
