But when he remembered the harsh environment of the Barren Land and the reasons behind its desertification, he found it understandable.
After speaking, Dagruel fell silent and waited for Mo Li's reply.
"You... are very clever, Dagruel."
Mo Li's words carried praise and appreciation for Dagruel.
"Once a contract is formed, those who break their word shall suffer Rock Eater's Punishment."
Mo Li gazed at Dagruel and solemnly spoke these sacred words that represented a contract.
Yet compared with the delighted Dagruel, who had just concluded the deal, Guy, seated nearby, wore a strange expression.
Why did he feel like he had somehow... been sidelined!?
No. The more he thought about it, the stranger it became.
Let me sort this out!
Rimuru was undoubtedly on Ari's side. After all, he was obviously raised by Ari's people, so he definitely was not one of Guy's people.
Milim?!
He recalled how, at the last Demon Lord Banquet, Milim had nearly beaten him to death alongside Rimuru, Ruotuo, and Veldora because of Li.
Fine. She was also a Demon Lord on Li's side.
Ramiris?!
He looked at Ramiris, who was sitting beside Mo Li some distance away, secretly peeking at Li with a flushed little face, as well as where Ramiris was now.
Hehe~~, another shallow fool captivated by Li's charm.
Whatever! It did not matter whether Ramiris was on his side or not.
After all, she was just a mascot.
Then there was Leon.
When he thought of Leon, Guy felt that he ought to sit up straight to think about it.
After all, Leon had once been his... beloved!
He recalled Leon's infatuated affection for his childhood sweetheart, then remembered how much Leon had given up for that childhood sweetheart named Chloe... Hmm!
And that childhood sweetheart belonged to Rimuru's side.
