Reaching the Dwarf Kingdom

Just then, Rimuru jumped out of the house.

Upon seeing Mo Li, Rimuru's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted.

"Li, I'm ready, let's go quickly."

Rimuru quickly came to Mo Li's side, looking impatient, as if his soul was already drifting towards the Dwarf Kingdom.

Arriving beside Mo Li, Rimuru noticed Rigurd was already there.

"Li, why is Rigurd here?"

Rimuru asked with a puzzled expression.

"Here."

Mo Li shook two large backpacks in front of Rimuru.

"I had Rigurd prepare some food. It'll be convenient for us to eat on the road."

Mo Li said calmly to Rimuru.

Hearing the word "food," Rimuru instantly couldn't sit still.

"What food, let me see."

Rimuru asked Mo Li eagerly.

"See for yourself."

Mo Li handed the two backpacks filled with food to Rimuru.

Rimuru took the backpacks and quickly opened them.

Inside, there were only a small amount of fruit, and the rest was all dried meat. Rimuru complained as he rummaged through them.

"Dried meat, dried meat, why is there so much dried meat? Isn't there any other food?"

Rigurd, who was kneeling nearby, heard Rimuru's words and hurriedly tried to explain.

"Lord Rimuru, this..."

Mo Li punched Rimuru on the head.

"Ah."

Rimuru cried out.

"Li, why did you hit me?"

Rimuru said aggrievedly, with teary eyes.

"Stop complaining. You're being picky about the food I prepared for you. Do you think there's any other food that's easy to preserve besides dried meat? Besides, didn't I already ask Rigurd to prepare some fruit for you? And you don't even have a sense of taste, so why be so picky?"

Mo Li said, giving Rimuru a glare.

"Okay."

Rimuru was silent for a moment before uttering two words.

Then Mo Li turned his gaze to Rigurd.

"I'm leaving the village to you."

"Yes, Lord Morax, Lord Rimuru, I won't disappoint you."

Rigurd promised, patting his muscular chest.

Before long, the personnel preparing to head to the Dwarf Kingdom were also assembled, led by Gobta and a few goblins who had been to the Dwarf Kingdom before.

At this moment, all the monsters in the village put down their work to see them off.

"Have a safe trip, Lord Rimuru, Lord Morax."

Rimuru and Mo Li, under the watchful eyes of all the monsters, embarked on their journey to the Dwarf Kingdom.

"Gobta, you've been to the Dwarf Kingdom, what's it like there?"

At this moment, Rimuru curiously asked Gobta. After all, it was the first time seeing dwarves, and Rimuru was very curious about the Dwarf Kingdom.

"The Dwarf Kingdom, it's a great place, there are many good things there."

Gobta seemed to be thinking of something good, and his mouth began to water.

"Gobta, Gobta."

Rimuru called out to Gobta, who was spacing out.

At this point, Mo Li, unable to watch any longer, kicked Gobta.

"Snap out of it, I'm asking you a question?"

Mo Li said sternly to Gobta.

"Oh, oh, oh."

Gobta finally came back to his senses.

"The Dwarf Kingdom, also known as Dovagon, is not only a major military power but also a major forging power. Almost all the good weapons on the continent are crafted by the Dwarf Kingdom. More importantly, it also serves as an exchange. In the Dwarf Kingdom, whether it's equipment or weapons, they are all works of extremely high quality. This is the consensus of the entire continent, and almost all races visit the Dwarf Kingdom for this very reason. In the Dwarf Kingdom, you can see any race: humans, demi-humans, half-demi-humans, and even special monsters are commonplace. There are even fairies present. In the Dwarf Kingdom, there are no distinctions in status; this is their rule. The Dwarf Kingdom prohibits any race from causing disputes. Violators will be sent directly to court for trial."

Gobta explained earnestly to Rimuru and Mo Li.

"Fairies."

Rimuru became excited upon hearing those words.

"Fairies, in any game or manga, are always beautiful women."

Rimuru's mind was already conjuring images of beautiful fairy women.

"Lord Rimuru, Lord Rimuru."

Gobta called out to Rimuru, whose mind had already drifted far away. But Rimuru, immersed in her beautiful fantasies, couldn't hear him.

Seeing Rimuru like this, Mo Li sighed helplessly. Mo Li didn't even need to think to know what Rimuru was imagining.

"It seems this guy wasn't just a shut-in in his past life, he was probably a fujoshi too. And not just any fujoshi, perhaps 'witch' is a more fitting term. I truly worry for Tempest's future."

"N-nothing. Oh right, Gobta, why did you come to the Dwarf Kingdom?"

Rimuru wiped away nonexistent drool.

"Speaking of which, I'm not tired at all."

Just as Gobta was about to start bragging, a group of goblins interrupted him.

"Lord Morax, Lord Rimuru, we're almost there."

Hearing this, Rimuru couldn't sit still any longer and quickly jumped out of Mo Li's embrace.

Sure enough, not long after, a large mountain appeared directly in front of them. In the center of the mountain was an extremely magnificent-looking gate, with several dwarf soldiers standing guard on either side. There were smaller gates on the left and right, both heavily guarded by dwarf soldiers. Judging by their appearance, these were elite soldiers, and the gates likely served specifically for the dwarf army.

The level of security in the Dwarf Kingdom was as stringent as anything Mo Li had only seen in his past life.

Directly in front of the main gate was a queue. Because of the soldiers, the line was extremely orderly, consisting of several dozen people, and it would take a considerable amount of time.

"Li, Li, look, we're here."

Rimuru said excitedly. Rimuru had been extremely bored on the road these past few days.

"You don't need to shout, I see it. Alright, let's hurry. Looking at this queue, we won't be able to enter the city until night at the earliest."

Mo Li said to Rimuru helplessly.

"Right, right, let's hurry and get in line."

Rimuru said, then dashed off.

Seeing Rimuru's excited expression, Mo Li had no choice but to follow. The goblins, seeing this, also followed.

At this moment, Mo Li called out to the waiting group.

"You guys don't need to follow. Let's part ways here. Just Gobta should come with us. Having too many people will be troublesome."

"Yes, Lord Morax."

The remaining goblins replied, then prepared to return the way they came.

"Gobta, come with me to queue up."

Morax said to Gobta.

"Yes, Lord Morax."

Afterward, Mo Li and Gobta came to Rimuru's side and joined the queue with Rimuru.
