"Tex, the magic value is 739 points, please enter the underground palace room No. 1083."
"Bajir, the magic value is 1906 points, please enter the underground palace room No. 1084."
When the four of them arrived at one of the registration points, there were already many adventurers who couldn't wait to sign up, and the queue was quite far away.
Two goblins dressed as guards were wearing strange sunglasses. Every time an adventurer stood on the testing platform, he pressed the button on the sunglasses, and the adventurer's "magic value" was immediately reported.
After checking that there were no errors, two more monsters registered for them and invited them to enter the deep and downward entrance of the underground palace.
Unlike those who tested before, most ordinary adventurers only have a few hundred or thousands of magic points, and even some weak E-level adventurers only have a few dozen points.
Occasionally, a strong person with nearly 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people appears, which will arouse the admiration of the surrounding crowd, and there are always passers-by who can recognize the name of the strong person being tested, so the strong person being tested enjoys the respect of everyone.
Like a victorious general, he walked into the underground palace with his head held high.
Adventurers have discovered that it is one thing to buy skills or not. Why is the satisfaction brought by this kind of test so wonderful?
Of course, there are also those who are dissatisfied.
"1900 points?!" A rude roar suddenly echoed: "Are you kidding me? I am a C+ level adventurer! The C level guy just now has 3200 points. How could I be lower than him? I almost missed the mark.
Half of it?!"
"That's right, I thought Brother Bagir would have at least 5,000 points..."
"Are these broken glasses really accurate?!"
The noise echoed, and Gobda, who was responsible for maintaining order, walked over quickly and said: "This instrument was made by Master Ji Xing himself. It has been tested repeatedly internally and can guarantee that there will never be any problems.
You don’t need to pay too much attention to numerical values. Magical elements only represent one aspect of combat effectiveness. There are many people who don’t have much magical elements but are very strong in actual combat, so the adventurer level is only for reference.”
This explanation slightly suppressed the confusion, but the unwilling Bagir was still chattering: "I don't believe it, it must be because I didn't put on a good pose just now, you can do it again for me!"
Gobda is helpless, here comes the idiot again. Even if the test for you is really less, isn't that a good thing? The content of this competition is the amount of magic power increased within seven days!
Just as he was about to explain again, another burst of noise suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"Hey, that's..."
"It can't be wrong, it's Master Masayuki!"
"What? Hero Masayuki-sama?!"
With a roar, the crowd dispersed, revealing the location of the four people. Everyone looked at the four people in the center with enthusiasm and admiration.
"Master Masayuki, are you actually here to compete for the qualification to purchase skills? It's over, there are only ninety-nine of the one hundred places left!"
"No, it's ninety-six. Those are the companions of Lord Masayuki..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why does the brave man need to buy skills like us? His own skills are already invincible!"
"That's right..."
No, I really want to buy it. Masayuki thought with a slightly stiff smile.
At this time, Mad Wolf Xunlei laughed and said: "You are right, how could Master Masayuki, the brave man, compete with everyone for the qualification to purchase skills? If he wants to buy it, the skill merchant will take the initiative to send it to him!"
Hey hey...
"We are just somewhat interested in this activity in cooperation with the Demon King. In order to ensure everyone's safety, Masayuki-sama is going to go into the underground palace to explore! Now it seems that everyone has doubts about the fairness of the activity?"
He swaggered across the street, stood on the test stand, and waved to the two goblins in charge of the test: "Come on, let's see how much magic points you guys will give me?"
He jumped in line, but the adventurers who were jumped in line didn't have any objections. Instead, they looked at Thunder expectantly. Gobda was a little unhappy with this guy, but thinking about Rimuru's instructions, he could only show his respect to his subordinates.
He waved his hand, indicating that he would take a test.
The answer was quickly obtained - "This adventurer's magic value is... 187533!"
Wow——
"How many?"
"There are actually 180,000?!"
"Oh my god, you are worthy of being a companion of the brave, Lord Mad Wolf Thunder. The most you have tested before is only more than 13,000, right?!"
People were shocked and admired, and Xunlei, who was about to take the opportunity to attack, was startled, scratched his head, and whispered in a low voice: "Well, it's quite accurate."
Of course, he didn't know if it was accurate, but since he measured it so well, he had to trust it first.
Gobda was a little surprised. This guy doesn't look like much, but his magic value is already close to mine? He must be an A-level adventurer... Well, wait, they just said Masayuki the Brave?
Is that a brave man?
Glancing at the blond boy not far away who was being held in the center by everyone, Gobda didn't feel any pressure from him.
Is he really a brave man? He looks dumb.
Suspicious in his heart, he stepped forward and asked Xunlei: "Do you want to join the underground palace test? If you want to join, please register there."
"Well, wait for a moment." Xunlei, who accepted the worship, came back to his senses and remembered that he was not here to do such a thing. He turned around and said, "Master Masayuki! Come and try? Let's go into the underground palace and have a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around him, and Masayuki, who was still feeling dizzy, had a bad premonition in his heart.
Wait, if I test...
"Masayuki! Masayuki!"
"Brave! Brave!"
Before he could refuse, a boiling sound almost shook the town. People's eyes were firmly focused on Masayuki, worshiping him fervently.
The brave man's friends are all worth 180,000, but the brave man himself can't go to heaven? Five hundred thousand? Or even one million? How strong will he be!
‘It’s over, let’s reveal the secret!’ Masayuki only had this thought in his mind.
His family knows his own affairs, and although his magic power is ahead of ordinary adventurers due to the enhancement he received as a visitor from another world, it is only average and cannot be as powerful as lightning!
I want to refuse, but I am unable to refuse.
The atmosphere was here, and he really couldn't find an excuse not to go on stage. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, hoping that this instrument was really inaccurate!
He climbed onto the test bench.
The onlookers held their breaths as they watched the two Goblin guards perform the test. Then the two looked at each other and didn't speak for several seconds.
"Hey, why don't you talk?"
"Are you frightened by Masayuki-sama's amazing magic power? Hahaha!"
"Quickly tell me the numbers!"
"Uh..." Gobuzang, the tall one among them, said weakly: "It's... 12435 points."
"……ah?"
Then the surroundings became silent again.
How much? More than twelve thousand?!
"Are you kidding?!"
"How can it be possible that the hero's magic power is only over 10,000, when all his partners have 180,000!"
"That's it! Who ordered you? I know, it must be Demon King Rimuru who ordered it to destroy the reputation of the hero! Does Jisei-sama know about this kind of thing?!"
It’s over, the secret has really been exposed! Looking at the adventurers who were fighting for themselves, luckily my eyes almost went dark. My skills are not good for this kind of instrument. I shouldn’t take chances!
"Hahahaha..." At this time, Mad Wolf's thunderous laughter reverberated, suppressing the excited crowd for a moment: "Did Master Masayuki control his own magic energy fluctuations? It's really yours! Do you think you can replace 12345 with 12435?
Can it look more natural so that we can’t notice it?!”
"..."
Huh——?!
This was so far-fetched that Masayuki himself found it difficult to accept, so he smiled reluctantly, but this smile was also interpreted as the embarrassment of being 'caught out'.
"I see?!"
"As expected of you, Masayuki-sama, you suppressed your own values? How did you do it?"
"Masayuki-sama must be afraid that the real numerical value will hit us! Wuwuwu - he is too gentle, Masayuki-sama!"
"But...if we can actively suppress the values, wouldn't the significance of this test be lost? Isn't it unfair?"
"Do you think anyone can evade the detection of that instrument like Mr. Masayuki! At least I can't think of a way! Besides, didn't his partners say it earlier? They were just worried that the underground palace set up by the Demon King was unsafe, so they came to explore the way.
I have no intention of competing for purchasing qualifications!”
"Oh! Long live Masayuki-sama!"
Witnessing the change and frenzy in the atmosphere, Masayuki breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what was going on, he seemed to have survived another disaster?
But it’s really tiring to pretend like this.
With an idol-like smile on his face, Masayuki greeted the adventurers' cheers and heard Thunder shouting, 'Bonnie, Qiu, you guys come together too!'
The two people refused: "No, we should meet you and Masayuki outside the underground palace."
Masayuki nodded repeatedly. He was actually very panicked. This arrangement was the safest.
…
"As expected of a brave man, you can actually suppress your own magic energy fluctuations just like you, Ji Xing, and you can suppress them to a level of only more than 10,000."
Rimuru, who watched the farce from a distance, exclaimed: "Even I couldn't detect his level at all. I thought he was a guy with nothing but appearances. How about Ji Xing, do you think he has it?"
How strong can he be with you... no, can he be stronger than Hinata?"
King of Wisdom: "..."
Ji Xing did not answer, and Raphael, the King of Wisdom, hesitated to speak. This suddenly gave Rimuru a familiar sense of immediacy and a look of astonishment on his face.
"Wait, it can't be..."
"That's the one who can't."
"..." Rimuru was speechless for a few seconds, then looked at Masayuki again, dumbfounded: "It made me nervous for nothing, it's really..."
She shook her head, not caring whether Masayuki was a 'parallel import' or not. Looking at the adventurers who were put into the underground palace one after another and voluntarily imprisoned, she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Looking at the current trend, at least the founding of the country can be guaranteed."
During this period of the festival, the town will not be overcrowded by tourists, so it takes about half a month to expand.
But Ji Xing, selling a hundred skills at once will really not put you under any pressure? How about I arrange for Gavel and others to join in and occupy some spots to give you a little buffer?"
"If you want your subordinates to get skills, just say so." Ji Xing said with a smile.
So the beautiful monster princess smiled shyly: "So it's okay, right?"
"Ah, fair competition. In seven days, your subordinates may not necessarily improve more than these fanatical adventurers." Ji Xing said, reaching out and making a move back. Cagalli's figure changed from illusion to reality, and her hands
Holding a book.
The book was completely black, with mysterious runes imprinted on the front. It had no words, but it looked a little extraordinary at first glance, and it made Cagalli's temperament even more extraordinary.
Looking at his secretary, and then at the carefree Shion next to him, Rimuru quickly concealed his envy and disgust, and asked curiously: "I haven't seen much of Shyvana and Cagalli recently. They are busy.
What? What is this book?”
"General outline of the skill book."
Ji Xing handed the book to Rimuru: "There are 500 skills here that I can sell. Both Shyvana and Cagalli have personally tested them and classified their strengths from E-level to A-level according to the adventurer's level.
, convenient to sell.”
There are naturally more than these 500 skills in League of Legends, but many heroes, especially ADC's skills, are not very suitable for sale, so Ji Xing deleted and deleted some, and added some ninjutsu and ghost ways, and made up these 500.
integer.
Rimuru's eyes widened and he immediately started browsing. There are 85 kinds of the weakest E-level skills, but each has its own miraculous effects. For example, the Neeko transformation that Milim bought is all in it, but it is an unenhanced version.
The kind that is easily exposed.
D-level and C-level have certain combat effectiveness, such as Yasuo's Steel Flash, Step forward, and even Galen's 'Fatal Strike'. The acceleration and silence effects in reality are like magicians.
nemesis.
Most of the B-level ones are "ultimate moves", which consume a lot of power and are surprisingly powerful. As for the small number of A-level ones, they have more passive skills, because the effects of some things are outrageous in reality.
For example, Galen's passive 'Tenacity'.
As long as you are out of combat for a few seconds, you will immediately begin to recover a percentage of your blood volume. No matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed within two minutes. It is a magical skill!
It's not considered an ultimate skill, but it has to be compared to the top talents among unique skills.
"It's too exaggerated..."
After reading these skill introductions, Rimuru had a real sense of how outrageous Ji Xing was who mastered all the skills. No, Ji Xing was powerful because he was very strong, and these outrageous skills became his strength.
embellishment.
Even if a weakling acquires these skills, he can use them to fight the devil, right?
"In this competition, the 51st to 100th place can only buy E-level skills, the 21st to 50th place can buy D-level skills, the 11th to 20th place C-level skills, the 4th to 10th place B-level skills, and the top three can buy A-level skills."
Ji Xing said: "As for the future...since you need to explode equipment when defeating monsters in the maze, it is natural to explode skill books, right?"
Rimuru was startled: "Skill book?!"
Yes, this is indeed a classic setting in traditional games. With Ji Xing here, it is indeed possible... Exploding equipment will probably attract a large number of adventurers. When they find out that killing monsters can explode skill books, what will happen?
No……
No, in this case, the expansion of Rimuru Town will be larger, and we will directly find a way to build a modern metropolis?!
Rimuru suddenly had some worries about happiness. From the 'attraction' to this point, she vaguely felt that she had become a worker again, being urged by Ji Xing, the boss, to move forward faster.
Although I am the leader of the Federation...
"How are you going to arrange it?" she asked.
"The explosion rate cannot be high, even as exaggerated as one in 100,000, and the mobs can only explode D-level and E-level skills." Ji Xing opened his mouth and said: "Other skills are carried by the bosses of each layer. The specifics are
Numerical planning Cagalli can do it.”
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. There is still a week left before the trial operation of the underground labyrinth. We have to hurry up." Rimuru said to Cagalli.
"There's no problem with me." Cagalli said in a completely capable and feminine manner.
Rimuru nodded, and the workload had indeed increased again. Alas... At this moment, familiar footsteps came, and Rimuru was a little scared.
"Zhu Na, is there something wrong again?"
The pink-haired Gui Ji who walked in the door was startled and nodded: "It's Miss Xixing who is asking for help. The children have heard about the competition in the underground palace and are clamoring to participate. She can't help it anymore."
"Oh, that's it." Rimuru breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there were no other thorny problems.
…
The children Zhu Na mentioned are a special group, the product of summoning 'failure'.
Just like the Kingdom of Farmus summoning Ji Xing, many kingdoms regard summoning people from other worlds as combat power and trump cards. However, some kingdoms do not have the foundation to complete the summoning ritual, and they have not been able to obtain a complete summoning method.
In the reduced version of the call, only some children were called.
These children are also visitors to other worlds. They were semi-materialized by the power of the world when they traveled through the world, and were greatly improved. However, their untapped bodies cannot keep up with their daily surge in magic, and they often cannot survive.
10 years old.
Five of these children were taken over by Yushu and lived in the Free Academy of the Kingdom of Ingracia. However, after the battle between Ji Xing and the Burning Flame Dragon, Yushu took his people and fled to the Eastern Empire. These children
Naturally, I was picked up.
Their problems have all been solved by Rimuru by summoning elves and contract elves, and they can grow up without any worries. However, children whose average age is only 11 years old can really give them a headache when they make trouble.
Fortunately, Shogo Taguchi, Kyouya Tachibana, and Nozomi Mizutani have become 'sensible' after Ji Xing's education and social lessons. They have been acting as guardians and housekeepers for the five children for more than a month. With the same background,
I take good care of them, but sometimes they get into trouble.
Such as today.
"Why can't we participate? We also have to buy Teacher Ji Xing's skills!"
"Yes! We have made the fastest progress, and we can definitely defeat those adventurers!"
The naughty Kenya Mitsuki and Sekiguchi Ryota held on to Taguchi Shogo's pants, and the blond girl Alice Lund also held on to Mizutani Kiseki's clothes, making them sweat on their foreheads.
Even Galu Gibson and Chloe Oberu, who were relatively sensible and obedient, stared at Tachibana Kyouya with their big eyes, which made the squinting Tachibana Kyouya lose a lot of momentum.
They really wanted to use their uncensored skills to educate their children, but they didn't dare. On the one hand, they were afraid of Ji Xing, and on the other hand... they really couldn't defeat these children.
Yes, in order to prevent their magic and bodies from being out of balance, Rimuru helped each of them contract an elf above A level. So even though they are just children, they all have A level.
Super combat power, and even the sword in it has the qualifications of a brave man.
You can barely fight one-on-one, but when you're three-on-five, you'll just get beaten up, and there's no place to cry.
After more than ten minutes of persuasion and rough treatment, they finally waited for the savior, and the children's attention was taken away from them.
"Rimuru-sensei!"
"Teacher Ji Xing!"
Not long after the children came to the town, Rimuru was busy, so he asked Ji Xing to take care of them for a few days, because they were familiar with Ji Xing, or it could be said that Ji Xing could easily take care of children.
Do it well.
The two little girls cheered and rushed over. Chloe threw herself into Rimuru's arms, while Alice asked Ji Xing for a hug and sat on his shoulder.
The three boys were embarrassed to do this and just stood there with envious eyes.
Ji Xing smiled and patted Alice and said: "Okay, Rimuru and I were tricked by you naughty guys again. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly, haha."
The 10-year-old girl's face was a little red and she felt guilty. She pinched her little neck and said: "What do you mean by lying? Really, it's obviously Teacher Ji Xing. You've gone too far! Why do the five of us have to be the first in the next test?"
With your skills, those adventurers will have a hundred opportunities!"
"Yes, it's not fair!" Jian Ye immediately shouted: "We also want to enter the underground palace!"
"We're going too!"
Yes, in order to encourage children to learn, Ji Xing also provided interesting skills as rewards.
He raised his eyebrows and said: "It is roughly estimated that there will be 100,000 adventurers entering the underground palace this time. 100 out of 100,000, the chance is one in a thousand. What about you? One of the five will get my skills.
,Isn’t this fair? It seems that your math class will have to add a few more periods.”
Several children felt guilty, hey, does that seem to be what happened? No matter, our original goal was to have Mr. Rimuru and Mr. Ji Xing come visit us!
They argued for a while, and Rimuru also saw the clues. He tapped Chloe's head lightly and said helplessly: "Recently, the teacher is preparing for the founding ceremony. Guests from all over the world will be arriving soon.
I’m really busy. Can I wait until the Founding Ceremony is over to play with you?”
Seeing that the children also felt a little guilty, Chloe whispered: "I understand, teacher."
"But it doesn't matter." Rimuru followed but suddenly changed his tone, "Ji Xing has nothing to do during this time, how about just letting him play with you?"
Hahaha, I'm a perfect betrayer! Ji Xing, please get busy for me too!
"No problem." The next moment, she heard Ji Xing's natural agreement: "I'm about to go to each demon king's territory and let them choose skills. Let's take the children for a walk together. There will be no teleportation.
trouble."
"Oh!" the children cheered.
Rimuru had a blank expression: "Go to the territories of various demon kings? I think... let's forget it. Is it safe?"
"Rimuru-sensei!"
"Ah, it's true!"
"We are going to..."
The children's complaining voices made Rimuru twitch the corner of his mouth. Looking at the smiling Ji Xing, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
If I really have you, my counterattack will not cause any trouble.
But she was really worried about letting the children go to the territory of some demon kings, so she sighed and said: "We can only go to Ruminas and then send the children back, Ji Xing."
Compared to those demon kings whose tempers are unclear, Rimuru feels more at ease with Luminas, who has a cold face and a warm heart after having been in contact with her twice.
Besides, Luminas had witnessed the battle scene between Ji Xing and the Burning Flame Dragon with her own eyes.
Ji Xing spread his hands to the children, indicating that there was nothing he could do: "Go back and pack your things. Then we will just go to the Holy Kingdom of France."
The children looked at Rimuru with pouty lips, snorted, turned around and ran away to prepare things.
Rimuru sighed for the third time.
…
Holy French Empire, Ruberios.
In some dark corner, there is an unknown tomb buried deep inside.
In the tomb, there was a beautiful black-haired girl who was naked and sealed in an ice coffin. The person facing the girl was also naked and lying on the ice coffin. It was Luminas, Queen of Night Demons.
She looked intoxicated, with a enchanting smile on her face, her fair skin stained red, and she sighed with emotion: "Ah, so beautiful..."
This ice coffin is a 'Holy Ark', a collection of pure Holy Spirit power. Therefore, whenever this ice coffin is touched, Luminas' body will show scars similar to burns.
Although she has great power as the Demon King, even she cannot destroy this ice coffin and will be hurt by the power of the ice coffin, but Luminas doesn't care at all.
Her dream is to liberate the sleeping girl in this ice coffin, and she often comes here to 'play' with the ice coffin. Just as her interest is getting higher and higher, King Rey comes to report.
"I'm very sorry to disappoint you. I have something to report to you."
"What the hell...it's Rey." Luminas raised her head in displeasure: "What's the matter?"
"Skill merchant Ji Xing just used teleportation to come to the church, and he brought five children with him. Now he is visiting the church under the leadership of Hinata."
"..." Luminas was silent. The battle more than a month ago was still vivid in her mind. To be honest, she didn't really want to see Ji Xing.
Because Ji Xing had 'offended' her, but she couldn't do anything to Ji Xing. After watching that battle, even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew that there were more people in the world who couldn't afford to offend.
"I'm here to sell my skills."
She snorted and said, "What's going on with five children? Where's Shyvana?"
"I haven't seen the Dragon-Blooded Warrior." Rey lowered his head and said, "According to his explanation, the five children are all summoners and are now staying with Demon King Rimuru. Because they were bored, he took them here for a while."
"...Tsk, what does he think of my church? Has it become a tourist attraction like the battlefield between him and the Burning Flame Dragon?"
Luminas looked unhappy and glanced at the girl in the ice coffin with reluctance. She turned around and was already wearing luxurious clothes.
"Let's go."
When she and Rey arrived at the Holy Church, they saw Hinata introducing the training and selection of Paladins to the children, and the five children also listened with great interest and seemed very interested.
'As expected of Hinata, at this time, you have not forgotten to cultivate the seedlings of the Holy Knight.'
With Luminas's eyesight, she easily discovered the extraordinary qualities of the five children. Just when she was about to turn her attention to Ji Xing, she suddenly stopped at Chloe.
