After Victoria said goodbye to Mary and left, she wandered aimlessly on the street, thinking about how to do that kind of thing.
She was also thinking about finding anyone of value to sell her favors to and then help out, but life and work had resumed, and it seemed that there was no need for help for the time being.
When she saw the police patrol passing by, she suddenly thought that the search director Leonard would be suitable. Where did that guy go? He was obviously not among the dead people placed in the central square.
After a while, she met Juno.
Juno is the maid in charge of Crounpis, and she made a special trip to see her this time.
"You are here. Lord Rimuru asked you to attend the meeting." Juno said.
"Me? Well, I understand."
……………………………………………………
meeting room--
Rimuru collected opinions from all parties at the meeting, and finally could only conclude that there was no specific person behind the events that made the Demon Kingdom miserable during this period.
Basically, the Demonic Kingdom’s wealth and talkability, combined with humans’ traditional hostility to monsters and the concept of monsters as resources that can be harvested, as well as the Demonic Kingdom’s rapid economic development, has indeed threatened some human national finances, and many comprehensive factors have caused this.
of.
Rimuru was quite upset. He just wanted to say "Hello, hello, hello, everyone." It was very simple to make everything in sight look better, but the field of view was still too narrow.
However, Rimuru was not at the level where he could still be a good gentleman after being beaten to the doorstep and having so many companions die.
I heard that the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Inguracia and the Kingdom of Farmus have already set off, totaling 50,000 people.
Although the number of people does not seem to be very high, the decision to go to war was made after investigating the demonic country's apparent combat strength. Those two countries are both big countries that can muster six-figure armies, and these 50,000 are all six-figure troops.
There are enough men in the army to deal with powerful monsters.
At the same time, I must have cards in hand to deal with the Demon King, the True Demon King, and the Storm Dragon.
However, Rimuru believed that most of the cards in the hand should be the material body and the fairy body of the "Beautiful Monster Princess" that was taken away. According to Ultima's report, she easily beat the opponent last time using
The one with the fairy body, but the other party obviously couldn't control his own power at that time, and the power to activate that body was probably not even 20%.
Although Rimuru didn't think anyone could really control the power of Crounpiss so quickly, they had to be extremely cautious. In order to resurrect Crounpiss, they couldn't destroy her body in the battle, which made them constrained.
Already.
Maybe there are people like Sakaguchi Hinata.
There may be other expert groups. Ultima said that he met a few "experts" on three-legged cats. It was bad luck to meet her, but if she was at Leonard's level, she would probably have been succeeded by the other party.
In fact, Leonard's body was destroyed by a man named Falken in the previous battle, and he had to temporarily return to the demon world before repairing it.
Speaking of Falcon, some merchants said that he was the knight leader of the Kingdom of Farmus, a very famous and powerful warrior. It might be very difficult to escape unhurt when being covered by the firepower of the Ramiris.
But Rimuru remembered it because he was also the murderer of Shion.
We also need to formulate methods for enchantments. If they come up with those enchantments that have a great suppressive effect on monsters, it will be quite troublesome. If it is the [Holy Purification Barrier] launched against Crounpith, it will be low-end
The combat power was probably wiped out on the spot. Rimuru and several other high-end combat powers could create a barrier for themselves to resist the suppression of the monsters, but that would also consume strength. In a peer-to-peer battle, any flaw would be fatal.

But [Raphael, the King of Wisdom] analyzed that they actually had a great advantage in this war.
Rimuru understands this.
During his time in the human country, he also inquired about some legendary things, but they were very watery. There were even things that were said to be able to seal the original demons, but in reality, the four original demons in the demon country could be crushed with one hand. s things.
For example, there was the so-called "Strongest Knight" Reiner that Youm faced. That guy was really famous. Legend has it that he could defeat even the new generation of demon kings, and then he was tortured by Youm in such a way.
There is also a mercenary who is said to be on equal footing with Sakaguchi Hinata - Rimuru met him a few days ago when he went to save various villages, and then he killed him instantly with one hand.
All in all, the masters and masterminds of human countries are really weak, maybe because they are too peaceful, right?
After all, the powerful faction is a very small number of people, and these people in the coalition must be smaller than the high-end combat power of the Demon Kingdom.
The problem is that Rimuru is thinking about how to get a perfect ending. A complete tit-for-tat confrontation might lead to being declared a divine enemy by the Western Holy Church, and the conflict will intensify. At that time, the Eastern Empire may also take the opportunity to invade. Countries that have diplomatic relations with the Demon Kingdom may participate in the war.
This will turn into a world war, which is not what Rimuru wants to see.
The meeting was still under discussion. Haruna, who was waiting outside as a maid serving tea and water, came in and said that Victoria had arrived.
"Let him in."
After Rimuru finished speaking, Victoria walked in from the outside and found that it was crowded with people. She was wondering where to stand to salute without being blocked. Rimuru spoke directly: "You're welcome, I just came to ask a simple question. Question. Rigurud, show her the one Nim drew."
Rigurud brought an awkwardly drawn magic circle and handed it to her.
That was the emerald green magic circle deployed by Klauenpith for the last time when Nim was overlooking the battlefield from the air when Kluunpisi was attacked by Lula.
"It's rebirth magic, the highest level." Victoria replied.
"Oh oh oh, what are the conditions for use?" Rimuru asked eagerly.
"There are no restrictions. As long as the resurrected object does not die of natural death, there is still life left, and the soul has not decomposed. Of course, the more complete the body, the better. If there is too little left, it may become an immortal." Victoria replied.
"I wish I would have asked you earlier. Does Miss Victoria know a lot?"
"How should I put it better? I was once a student of Mr. Crounpiss." Victoria felt that telling the truth might be part of that guy's plan. She recalled the painful experience in the past and said, "Actually, because She mastered this kind of magic, and she would fight freely during combat training, and she would often beat her classmates, brothers and sisters to death. It was really a hell at that time."
"But it seems that you are just a saleswoman and I am still weak. Are you really a student of Lord Crownpis?" Sheng Yafei, who was a member of Crownpis's family and was in the audience, touched her chin and asked suspiciously.
