Chapter 929 A Day in the Monster Kingdom (7k4 2-in-1)
"I'm going to die..."
It was clearly the season of spring and the flowers were blooming. We were walking on the wide and flat streets of the town, with children running happily around and travelers from all over the place bustling with excitement. However, Gobda seemed to be carrying a huge luggage, and every step was dragged out for a long time.
Why did he start learning to fight with that old man? There was no part of his body that was not painful from being struck by the wooden sword, and his energy was completely consumed every day. Gobda felt that his life had lost its meaning.
"Ah...stinky old man..."
After humming a short sigh, Gobda suddenly trembled and looked around cautiously.
He had suffered a lot for this in the past. The old man was like a ghost. Whenever he said something bad about him, he would appear out of nowhere and hit him hard on the head with a wooden knife.
After being vigilant for five or six seconds, but no familiar attack came, he breathed a sigh of relief, let out another light sigh, and looked not far away.
"Oh, what a beauty."
Among the crowd, he saw a tall woman with elegant steps, wearing a set of dark purple light armor, with long blood-red hair hanging around her shoulders, like a queen.
This momentum reminded him of Shion, and the next moment Gobda shook his head again and again, no, no, no, Shion can't do anything except being more fierce, there is no femininity at all!
But this feeling and the pair of horns that don't look like decoration... She is also a demon, right? What race is she? I've definitely never seen it before...
At this moment, the woman seemed to notice his gaze, and after stopping to look, Gobda noticed that the man diagonally in front of the woman was also with her. He was wearing a simple yet elegant robe, and the robe ended with
The main color is deep blue, with fine golden lines on the edges.
At first glance it seems unremarkable, but upon closer inspection...
"It's still unremarkable. But how does that great beauty look like one of his bodyguards? Is he a young master from some human kingdom? It's so desirable." Gobda muttered.
"oi!" At this time, the man waved to him and shouted: "Brother, we are looking for a place to eat. Do you have any recommendations?"
Little brother? Call me?
Gobda looked around and replied with some novelty: "For dessert, go two hundred meters ahead and turn right. Gobya's shop sells the best slime pancakes. You will definitely like it. For dinner, just go
Turn left, every BBQ restaurant is personally guided by Rimuru-sama!"
"Okay, thanks."
"Uh..." Gobda was stunned for a moment, watched the two disappear into the crowd, and then muttered: "I always feel that something is weird."
…
"Mmmmmmm... Gudu..."
In the barbecue shop, Shyvana held up a lobster claw larger than a little girl's arm with one hand, drinking the honey in it, her dark golden pupils shining brightly, and she couldn't help but put a smile on her face.
After she drank all the juice and put down the lobster claws, she saw Ji Xing opposite, who was flipping the meat over the charcoal fire, and she immediately showed guilt: "I'm sorry, Master, I'm just focusing on eating myself."
"It's okay, you have a big appetite. I said you don't have to take care of other things when eating." Ji Xing said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that your favorite food is sweets. In the past year, most of the food I have eaten has been spicy. I unexpectedly
Didn’t you notice?”
"No, Master, I can do it." Shyvana said: "I just didn't expect that the food in the country established by this monster is actually better than any other country's food we have eaten, except for the food cooked by you, Master."
They are all delicious. I don’t know how to make this honey lobster dish. It perfectly blends sweetness and umami. I really want to ask for advice.”
Shyvana is very conscious of being a servant, and has always hoped to replace Ji Xing as a cook in the wild, and has been working hard to study.
Ji Xing didn't stop her, but he thought that Shyvana would not be able to achieve her wish at this point.
"They used honey and baked it in advance, and it's not ordinary honey, it's high-grade honey brewed by at least C-level bee monsters."
He revealed the principle of deliciousness and said: "We can try to buy some. There are also these barbecue sauces. I didn't have time to prepare them before, but Rimuru made them well."
"King of the Monster Federation, is that the legendary slime?" Shyvana took the clip from Ji Xing's hand and said, "Seeing it with my own eyes is even more exaggerated than the rumors. A monster that was originally so weak can actually build a
A town more prosperous than any human kingdom."
"Well, that's it."
Ji Xing smiled and picked up a cute slime cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Haha, this one is mango flavored."
"Speaking of this, won't people in this town find it strange?" Shyvana also picked up one: "Using the master's appearance to make cakes or something...how can you swallow it?"
"No, this is how everyone's love for Rimuru-sama is shown." A gentle female voice suddenly intervened between the two of them.
An extremely delicate and cute girl with pink hair and double horns appeared at the door of the independent private room. She was holding a plate of various slime pastries with a slightly apologetic smile.
"Sorry to bother you two. I am Shuna from the Demon Clan, and I am also the person in charge of the town's logistics and Rimuru-sama's food.
In order to improve the restaurant dishes in the town, we will randomly select some outside guests to give comments so that we can improve. Today at noon, the two people spent the most, so I am here to give you a plate of dessert. Can you please comment on this meal?
Can you send me your review?"
It's not surprising that they spend the most.
The camera zoomed out, and empty plates were piled high on the dining table that could accommodate six people. In front of Shyvana, there were many chewed and sucked carapace shells, not just lobsters. In a world with monsters,
Spiders are a delicacy.
"It's so thoughtfully done, no wonder the food here is so delicious." Shyvana took the dessert from Zhu Cai and looked at Ji Xing inquiringly.
Zhu Na's eyes flashed with curiosity.
The two people in front of me not only spent a lot of money, they basically ate enough for twenty people. From the description of the waiter in the restaurant, even the man's order was a spectacle.
'This, this, this...' I heard that after he got the menu, he first ordered three of the dishes, and then said: 'If you don't want these three, you can have one of the others.'
Rimuru-sama seems to have made a joke like this. He tried to make things difficult for me by being picky about food, but Shion took it seriously and made a pot of whatever Rimuru-sama 'wanted'... Well, in any case, from then on,
Lord Rimuru no longer dares.
"Would you like a review?" Ji Xing opened his mouth and brought Zhu Cai back to reality. She put on a listening posture, and saw Ji Xing looked at the dining table and pondered for a few seconds and said:
"I can taste that all your ingredients are carefully selected, and most of them are slaughtered on the same day or yesterday. The meat is fresh and tender. The degree of searing in advance is also just right. Even at the busiest time, there are no mistakes in the rush, and the meat is delicious."
There is burnt material on the top, indicating overcooking.
But the preparation is too perfect, and the items are divided too neatly, which results in the loss of the pleasure of tasting certain foods. For example, there is no need to separate the meat from the joints of the devil spider so cleanly, and roast the bones and flesh together.
Making it sometimes creates a more unique flavor.”
Zhu Cai's big pink eyes blinked and she nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so... Will pursuing sophistication affect the taste if it's too much?"
"You can try something." Ji Xing smiled and added: "The other thing is this sauce. It's spicy, slightly sweet, and crispy. They're all pretty good, but you have to consider the tastes of different customers. If it's different when marinating,
It would be even more perfect if it is more refined and offers light salt or even sauce-free options.”
"The sauce needs to be more precise." Zhu Cai nodded: "You are right."
"In addition..."
Ji Xing commented on each piece without hesitation for ten minutes. After hearing this, Zhu Cai took out a small notebook from somewhere and quickly recorded it.
When Ji Xing stopped, it took her more than ten seconds to react. She raised her head and opened her mouth slightly and said:
"Is it over, sir?"
"Well, is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Zhu Cai looked down at the book again and exclaimed: "You are really awesome, you must be a gourmet, right? Thank you for your advice, we will improve it as soon as possible."
"What kind of gourmet? He just loves to eat." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I come from the same place as you, Rimuru-sama, so I know more about the delicacies of our world that he restores. In terms of eating experience, I am better than him.
Just a little more."
"Hey? Are you... a summoner? Or a visitor from another world?" Zhu Cai said in surprise: "Actually, I wanted to ask just now, but I was worried that it would be rude."
"It's the summoner, just call me Ji Xing."
"That's it, Mr. Ji Xing." Zhu Na said with a smile: "Master Rimuru will be very happy to hear that a fellow countryman like you is visiting. But unfortunately, Master Rimuru is not in town now, um...
You should be back tomorrow, can you please stay here for one more day?"
"I just arrived today and I'm not ready to leave."
"That's great." Zhu Cai smiled, then looked at Shyvana and said, "And this lady... Isn't she a human? I'm sorry, I'm a little unfamiliar with your race..."
"Shvana is a dragon and is my guard and companion." Ji Xing said.
"No, I'm just the master's servant and mount." Shyvana quickly corrected her.
Is the relationship between Rimuru-sama and us the same? But is the mount a little weird? Zhu Na smiled knowingly, but was a little unsure: "It turns out to be the dragon tribe? There are also many dragon tribes in our federation, but with Shyvana
Miss……"
"No, Shyvana is a dragon, a flaming dragon, a giant dragon." Ji Xing corrected with a smile.
"………………Why?!!"
…
Ten minutes later, walking on the street, Shyvana shook her head and said: "Compared to the great dragon species Lord Verudra, the Flame Dragon is not worth mentioning. I didn't expect to live in this Jura Forest, because Verudra
Monsters born from the magic essence leaked by Lord Della will lose their composure even if they hear about my race."
"You are a bit self-conscious about being a strong person." Ji Xing said with a smile: "You evolved again when I became a saint, and now you can also be called a demon king. What's more, even if it is not as good as the dragon species, the flame dragon is the top race among all monsters.
It’s normal to scare people after revealing your true identity.”
"My skills are nothing compared to Master." Shyvana said, "But Master, why do you need to explain it to that girl?"
"This is the way to serve guests. This town is different from the previous ones. We will stay here for a longer period of time. We must inform the owners here so that they can understand." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I have passed.
It has reached the stage of deliberately hiding it until the opportunity arises to scare them."
Shyvana nodded with understanding, looked around the street and said, "I also like this atmosphere very much. Monsters and humans can get along so harmoniously."
"As long as you like it."
The two were strolling down the street until they heard a clanking sound.
There was a blacksmith shop standing at the end of a remote alley. Ji Xing glanced at it from a distance, walked over with Shyvana, and gently knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop.
The sound of tapping was temporarily interrupted.
After more than ten seconds, the door of the blacksmith shop opened, revealing an ordinary middle-aged ghost face, with a gentle smile: "Hello, guest, I am the blacksmith Kurobei, what do you need to order?
Weapons?"
"My name is Ji Xing, and I am also a blacksmith." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I wonder if you have any business selling materials and renting furnaces? I would like to use your land to make a sword."
Kurobei was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That's it...you two please come in first."
Inviting Ji Xing and Shyvana into the blacksmith shop, he also organized his speech and said with a smile: "I make my own weapons. I think you must be a highly skilled forger. I don't know if I have the honor to ask you for advice.
Ichiban?
You can tell me your requirements for weapons and watch my preliminary processing. If my level does not meet your requirements, I can lend you my stove for free."
His words revealed his strong confidence in his own skills. As the only blacksmith of the former Great Oni Clan, Kurobei, who almost only appeared in the blacksmith shop, indeed had this kind of confidence.
It's just that he can't make the knife Ji Xing wants.
So Ji Xing said: "Then let me take a look at your material reserves first?"
"Of course, of course." Kurobei said with a smile on his face: "With the grace of Master Monrimuru, I have an extremely complete range of materials. No matter what kind of weapon the customer wants, I can make it!"
Ji Xing and Shyvana followed him into the warehouse, and were indeed dazzled by the dazzling array of metal materials. In addition, crystals and wood that were probably rare in the outside world were also piled in boxes here, because of the existence of Veludra.
The Jura Forest, which no one has entered, is a natural treasure house!
Ji Xing confirmed the materials one by one.
Well, I basically don’t know them.
This is normal. Ji Xing has not paid special attention to it since he time traveled. How can he know the unique materials here? At most, he can find a few similar things based on his past experience.
But it doesn't matter.
Unique skill, explorer, activate!
This is a unique skill from the world of full-time hunters. It is the ability brought by Ji Xing through the mysterious tower to explore the secret treasures of the dark continent.
A slight fluorescence flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at a metal, he naturally recognized all its properties and characteristics, as well as all the formulas for use with other materials!
A large amount of knowledge floods into the brain, the world is vast, and there are more than ten thousand different combinations of one substance and other substances. If an ordinary person has the skill of Explorer, he will not dare to turn it to the maximum power, but Ji Xing has no scruples.
.
In a few seconds, he has become ten times more knowledgeable than the person who knows this metal best in the world. Switch to the next one and continue.
When an excellent blacksmith is faced with a dazzling array of materials, it is normal for him to spend a certain amount of time choosing a matching plan. Kurobei didn't think much about it and just waited there for Ji Xing for five minutes.
Ji Xing then said: "I'll take it."
Kurobei smiled: "You have your choice."
So Ji Xing stepped forward and picked up four types of metal, two types of wood, two colors of magic crystal, and a small bag of blue sand, and asked:
"How much are these worth?"
"Hmm... about 13 gold coins, and they still need to be weighed." Kurobei made a simple calculation, and said unexpectedly: "You said... you want to make a sword, right? These materials... Furutetsukiwa
The conflict with the Black Flame Stone was okay, I could handle it after spending some time, but...
Amethyst stone and Wurui stone? Do you mistake amethyst stone for purple wind stone? These two are completely in conflict and will greatly damage the quality of the sword!"
"Forged under a flame of 1400 to 1600 degrees, amethyst stone and urui stone can occasionally synthesize amethyst star stone, a brand new metal, don't you know?" Ji Xing said with a smile: "Yes, it is a small probability event.
, generally difficult to find.”
"……ah?"
Kurobei was stunned for a moment and became more energetic. He was extremely devout in forging.
"Is there such a thing? 1400 to 1600 degrees, there is a small chance that it will be possible... Temperature control is a difficulty, and..."
"Let me do it myself." Ji Xing said again.
This time Kurobei was just slightly hesitant. If Ji Xing wasn't joking, he might be a descendant of a certain blacksmithing family who knows the secret, and he might actually be better than me.
"Sir, please."
Soon, Kurobei saw art.
Forging is a very sacred thing in his heart. The action of hammering the rough material and the force of each blow must be particular. Only when the force is uniform and perfect can the limit of the material be stimulated.
In this aspect, he has always been very proud of his precise power control and his willpower to withstand loneliness, but it wasn't until he saw Ji Xing swinging a hammer that he knew what perfection meant.
Not only the strength, but also the rhythm.
The tinkling sound even constitutes beautiful music, and the hammered material seems to be celebrating that it has been processed by Ji Xing.
With those perfect blows, the blank material quickly transformed into the finished product...
Wait, is it too fast?!
Kurobei suddenly came to his senses in a trance. Although you hammered it perfectly, it seems that only ten minutes have passed. Why does it seem that the blank that usually takes half a day is about to be processed?
This is not scientific!
But, this is very mysterious.
Although Ji Xing was building a weapon for himself, he didn't want to spend ten days and a half on it.
Unique skill, Ke Jia, activate!
"This is my unique skill." During the break, he explained to Kurobei.
Kurobei almost drooled with envy.
So one piece after another was completed, step after step, and finally it was time to fuse the amethyst stone and the black stone. Kurobei, who had benefited a lot, volunteered:
"I will set the temperature of the fire..."
"No need." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Shvana, 1500-degree fire."
"Understood, Master."
So Kurobei saw Shyvana open her mouth and evenly spit out pillars of flames, burning the two rough embryos, and Ji Xing was able to precisely control the terrifying temperature.
This is so...unreasonable.
Under Ke Xue, small probability events became high probability, so the most difficult level was passed like this, and a weapon took shape in an ordinary way.
Kurobei's expectations rose again.
The red-branded sword mold had begun to reveal an extraordinary aura, and he had a premonition that this would be a weapon of extraordinary quality.
Special level? Rare level?
No, legendary level?
Even...even above the legendary level, reaching the most powerful level?!
Seeing that the final result was about to come out, Ji Xing's hammer suddenly became heavier!
There was just a thud, and the sword that was about to be formed seemed to let out a scream and jumped up. Immediately afterwards, Ji Xing's hands seemed to turn into afterimages, and he quickly sprinkled water on the blue sand he chose when selecting materials.
The hammer also danced and left an afterimage.
Dong-dong-dong-dong, a knock that lost all sense of beauty, and what finally appeared in front of Kurobei's eyes was a blade that gradually turned from black to gray and became ordinary.
"This, this is..."
"The pinnacle of the legendary level." Ji Xing said: "After all, it took only one afternoon to build the sword. Although it originally had a chance to enter the mythical level, I suppressed it, while also retaining the possibility of its evolution, so that it can be used in the future.
Entering a higher level, the peak of mythical level, or even higher."
Kurobei didn't listen to what he said next.
The pinnacle of the legendary level... There was a chance to enter the mythical level... These words swirled in his heart, making him seem to have lost his soul.
It wasn't until Ji Xing jingled the hilt and scabbard that he came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Ji Xing, although... this request may be a bit rude, but... can I learn blacksmithing from you?"
"I will stay here in the Demon Country Federation for a while. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"Thank you so much!" Kurobei grinned: "I have nothing more to repay you. You can use these materials in the blacksmith shop as you please! I will ask Mr. Rimuru to approve more!"
"That's good." Ji Xing turned to look at Sivana: "I'll get you some armor later."
"You mean... dragon body?"
Ji Xing was startled and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are a bad student, Sivana."
Shyvana smiled and said nothing.
…
By the time Ji Xing and Shyvana left the blacksmith shop, it was completely dark.
Kurobei closed the door of the blacksmith shop reverently and went to learn the skills he had seen in the afternoon, while Ji Xing and the two strolled towards the center of the town.
This trip cost no cents, but the sword on his body was changed from an ordinary fine iron sword to a legendary pinnacle weapon crafted by Ji Xing himself!
"This city-state is really nice." Shyvana sighed again as she looked at the things sold by vendors at small stalls on the street at night.
Yes, the Monster Town was also very lively at night, and the two of them soon discovered that the crowd was gathering in one direction, and there was a faint sound of singing coming from there.
To be honest, I don't sing well.
But songs and tunes are always attractive.
The two followed the crowd and came to the place where the singing was taking place. As expected, it was Gavel, a dragon tribe, and some of his fans. They were singing and dancing quite comically.
The square at the other end was even more lively. Around a blazing bonfire, monster girls, mainly the goblin tribe, were singing and dancing, performing for the tourists in the town.
There was a dense crowd of spectators around, but the two of them found their way to the right spot easily.
An extremely strong pigman next to him was holding a two- or three-year-old very cute Goblina to watch the performance. He felt that the people around him had changed, and turned to look at Ji Xing and Shyvana.
As if he sensed something from Shyvana, he was stunned for a moment. Goblina, who was riding on his shoulders, also noticed the two of them as he turned around. Her cute big eyes turned around and stared at them curiously.
Shyvana's pair of dragon horns.
She wanted to stretch out her hand, but timidly pulled back.
Ji Xing glanced at Shyvana, and Shyvana smiled and extended her arms to little brother Brina.
"Well..." Brother Brina looked at the man from the pig-head tribe hesitantly, and the pig-head tribe also hesitated for a few seconds before handing her over.
So the little brother Brina sat on Shyvana's shoulders, holding the dragon's horns with both hands, smiling with a novel and happy face, and continued to watch the performance, and whispered softly: "Thank you, sister."
Ji Xing said to the Pig Head Tribe: "Ji Xing."
The pig-headed tribe was silent and moved half a step sideways to give Ji Xingkong a better position: "Gade."
It wasn't until ten o'clock at night, when all the performances ended, the stalls closed down, that the monster town finally stopped being lively and was about to fall asleep.
After saying goodbye to Gad and little brother Brina, Ji Xing and Shyvana walked through the deserted streets, found a tall building, and jumped onto the roof.
Just two seconds after their footsteps fell, a figure appeared beside them. The figure had red broken hair and two traces of tears under his eyes. He looked quite handsome.
"A fellow villager of Rimuru-sama, a guest from afar." He said to the two of them: "My name is Benimaru, and I am Shuna's elder brother. She said that the two of them gave her valuable advice on diet.
I would like to thank you both on her behalf.
It's getting late, haven't you booked a hotel? If necessary, I can arrange a quiet place for you."
"Thank you for your kindness." Ji Xing smiled and said, "But no need. Neither of us really needs sleep. We can just enjoy the night sky on the roof and feel the peace. Don't disturb us, right?"
"No, of course I won't bother."
Hong Wan responded, but surprise and doubt flashed through his heart.
It is said that it is normal for a woman who is a flame dragon not to need sleep, but this man is obviously a human... No, this feeling...
Just wondering and wanting to explore, a strong uneasiness flashed through Benimaru's heart. This feeling reminded him of the demon king who once visited the monster kingdom, the tyrant of destruction Milim!
No, how is it possible? That is one of the three oldest demon kings. The man in front of her should not be comparable to her, but... although it sounds a bit disrespectful, this man who is the summoner might be better than Lim.
Mr. Lu is still strong and definitely a dangerous person!
Fortunately... I firmly denied that Ziyuan followed me, and he didn't seem to have any ill intentions?
"In this case, I won't disturb you two." Benimaru bowed slightly to say goodbye.
Ji Xing and Shyvana sat on the eaves.
Under the peaceful and beautiful night, Ji Xing slowly advanced the saint's progress and increased his soul capacity, while Shyvana quietly guarded.
The night passed quickly.
The dawn sun shines on the streets of the Monster Kingdom, and the town gradually wakes up again.
Ji Xing stood up and stretched, exhaling the first breath of the morning. He felt that his body was a little lighter and his mood was very relaxed.
This world is very different from the world he invaded in the past. He is not the only 'traveler'. He no longer needs to be a savior. He ignores the goal of letting all races live in harmony. He only needs to watch slimes.
play.
Although there may be some setbacks in the process, and Ji Xing and Shyvana arrived by chance, he has already sensed the actions of the Kingdom of Farmus, but...
"It's another beautiful day."
"Another unlucky day." On the street not far away, Gobuta muttered in frustration while jogging to warm up. Suddenly he stopped and looked at Ji Xing standing on the roof in surprise.
"You, you are not from yesterday..."
"oi!" Ji Xing shouted with a smile: "Little brother, I am Ji Xing, a field skills merchant. Do you want to buy a skill from me?"
What kind of field skill merchant? This is the Monster Kingdom Jura Tempest...huh?
