Chapter 246 The day of the founding of the country
On the founding day of the country, the demon kingdom Hekatia Tempest——
For Rimuru, arranging the Founding Festival and the Demon King's Feast together was quite a headache.
Interviews with representatives of tribes within the Jura Great Forest that are not directly under the Demon Kingdom but have declared themselves vassals, talks with delegations from Western countries, talks with demon kings and representatives of the demon kingdoms, etc.
It was really difficult to bring together two people who were originally hostile to each other without conflict, which made him regret his decision to put the two together to save trouble.
But it was a good start to finally get through it peacefully, which gave Rimuru a sense of accomplishment.
The biggest worry, regret and trouble is probably the disappearance of the leader of the Free Guild, Yuuki (so defined since no body was found).
Although the purpose of their expedition does not overlap with that of Rimuru, it seems difficult to shirk responsibility regardless of the process and purpose. Yuuki has a wide range of power and connections, which will have a negative impact on the reputation of Demon Kingdom, Rimuru and others.
cause adverse effects.
But at this moment, Yuuki's records of various crimes and conspiracies that took advantage of his position were constantly uncovered.
The beginning of the recent series of wars was the siege of Crownpis in the Kingdom of Inguracia. Although the source of the intelligence was a merchant from the East, Yuuki was also involved, and even he was from the Rozo clan and could not be ignored.
The leader of the illegal underground organization "Big Three" was also unearthed.
Even the reason why Yuuki does various charities, such as taking in orphans, poor people and "visitors from other worlds" who are treated inhumanely, is to train his minions. In small cases, he acts as a thug, and in large cases, he serves as a transporter of talents to become him in Western countries and even in the East.
The spy of a key department in the empire!
What makes Rimuru even more stunned is that Yuuki is also the boss of the accomplice organization that planned the Pig-Head Emperor incident, that is, the boss of the organization that induced the Pig-Head Clan to massacre the Great Oni Clan. If Clawnpis hadn't contacted Clayman
If so, Yuuki also plans to use Clayman to kill the demon kingdom together with the human kingdoms!
This time, it was probably a feeling of cheating and capsizing, and perishing together.
As for the purpose, it is very simple - to conquer the world!
This is one of the secondary fantasies of time-travelers.
If this is the case, the Demon Kingdom, which is developing rapidly and making many friends, will indeed be a hindrance.
Rimuru didn't want to believe it at first, thinking that it was his friends and subordinates who were trying their best to evade his guilt and poured dirty water on Yuuki. However, after checking it himself, and with Mr. Ciel's main analysis, he discovered that some of the previous
I couldn't connect the clues, I thought it was a coincidence that many malicious people came together to cause the disaster, but I actually connected it!
Yuuki participated in the operation against Marianne Bell and was controlled once, just to prevent himself from being exposed one day, and to throw all the blame to Marianne Bell. But after thinking about it for a moment, he has the "anti-skill"
"Youki, who has a strong physique and doesn't even have the ultimate ability, how can he use a set of unique skills?
Friends from the same hometown who have always treated each other sincerely and helped each other turned out to be the masterminds of the recent series of misfortunes, which made Rimuru sad for a whole day and two nights.
At the same time, he was also determined to rely on his companions and subordinates but never rely on them. He was prepared to act like a king of a country and work hard to deal with everything.
Magic City Rimuru——
The sun is shining brightly today and the flowers are blooming.
If there are clouds and rain in the sky, all the clouds and rain should be blown away; if the flowers do not bloom, even if the tree fairies hand out candy and potato chips, they should also be asked to help bloom.
Rimuru stood on the balcony of the conference hall, overlooking the people of different races gathered in the central square, and picked up the microphone in his hand——
"Everyone, I am... alone... no, this king is... I am the Demon King Rimuru."
Oops, I just made up my mind and it ended up like this from the beginning. It doesn’t matter, it’s so troublesome.
From now on, just say it all at your own pace. It may not be forceful but the sincerity and warning should be conveyed.
Specifically, the following contents are to be expressed:
1. Thank you to all countries for being invited to come and recognizing the existence of the demon kingdom Hekatia Tempest.
Second, it is a fact that he became the Demon King, but he has no intention of being an enemy of the human race. If someone comes with malicious intentions, it is natural to fight back. As a monster demon, it is the foundation to gain a position with higher strength and qualifications. Only
Only when we have achieved at least equal strength and position can we be qualified for dialogue and have the opportunity to propose harmonious coexistence and find ways to win over humans and demons to join hands in creating a better future.
Third, as the saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day." He knows that there are still people who are wary and skeptical. It is worthwhile to be trusted, but it is never forced. Things like credibility need to be accumulated over time.
Fourth, if it is disadvantageous to us, we will not be lenient. If you dare to fight, just come over - if you don't mind what happened in Farmus Kingdom happening again.
Finally, I wish you all to find something you or your country like in everything displayed at the Founding Ceremony. I hope you all have a great time.
That'll be fine.
We can talk about the Demon King's Feast later. Now some Demon Kings have sneaked into the festival to have fun. I heard that sometimes the Demon King's Feast lasts for a month, and most of the time there is no real content, so there is no need to rush.
After the speech, there was a grand appreciation party, which was an event similar to a theatrical performance. I heard that the rehearsal took a long time, so Rimuru, who deliberately did not watch a single rehearsal, was looking forward to it.
But when he returned to the first floor, he met the children he had originally saved.
They were surrounding Crounpiss, who appeared to be playing the lute.
Then suddenly Chloe stretched out her hand and shouted, "The sound is bad, it's not good." Clownpis interrupted the performance dejectedly, raised the lute high and smashed it on the spot.
Maybe that was part of the performance, and the children clapped their hands and applauded.
"Hey, that's not a guitar, can't it be performed like this?" Rimuru couldn't help but ran over and complained.
"It doesn't matter. This was originally made with temporary magic. It will decompose on its own in less than half a day. It's not a pity at all." Crounpith tore the broken lute into pieces and threw it casually into the air.
Turning into fireworks, he smiled bitterly.
"No, that's not the problem. I heard that no matter how you play the music, Crounpis will turn into magic. Is it true? It's the same as cooking?"
"Yes. Because I didn't learn music and cooking, but related magic. So this preconception has become a conditioned reflex. Would it be difficult to start learning again? Although I can try to suppress the effect as much as possible, but if it can't be eliminated -
—It’s troublesome to prohibit minors from entering the appreciation society, it’s not very good for minors.” said Cronpis.
Rimuru: "No, there are more people visiting this time than expected. I only invited dignitaries from various countries, organizations, and important figures from the tribe to the appreciation party, and it was already full. There was not even a single empty seat for outsiders to watch."
