I Am a Kind Slime

Chapter 27: I am a Kind Slime

Kenny, the village chief of this village, was once an adventurer who left his village. However, during a past adventure, he was injured and his wife was pregnant. After some thought, he chose to return to his birthplace and settled down.

And just today, while Kenny was reminiscing about the past on the second floor, he suddenly heard the sound of rummaging through boxes downstairs, instantly grabbing his attention. His body, which had been exercising for many years, gave him great confidence. A mere thief, Kenny was absolutely sure he could subdue them with one hand.

But what he never expected was that the thief he thought it was would actually be the slime in front of him, and moreover, a poorly developed slime.

"Discovered?"

On the table, Lu Minghao slowly turned around, looking at the old man with white hair at the doorway. He considered whether to proceed with Plan A, forcibly obtain the information he needed from the old man, and then wipe out the entire village.

"Wait! You can talk, are you a high-level monster?"

On the opposite side, Kenny, who had just relaxed his guard after realizing the thief was a slime, instantly became tense. The hairs on his bronze skin stood on end. His past combat experience made him subconsciously retreat from the room, grab a long sword from the wall, and assume a defensive posture.

Snap!

"Don't be nervous, human. I am a kind slime. I just want to ask a few things and won't hurt you."

Lu Minghao lightly leaped from the table and landed opposite Kenny, speaking in as gentle a tone as possible. However, his body began to change from sky blue to purple, and a sweet, fishy smell filled the air.

"Hold on, Your Excellency, what exactly do you want to ask?"

As a former excellent adventurer, Kenny immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly put down the sword in his hand, raised both hands high to show he had no ill intentions. The moment Lu Minghao landed, Kenny's instincts began to scream at him to leave.

But Kenny knew that if he truly turned and fled, he would die the moment he turned. Moreover, the slime opposite him was definitely not someone he could contend with; the mere magic element it exuded made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The slime opposite him was at least a C-class monster. Even to defeat it, an elite adventurer team would be needed. He, on the other hand, was merely a retired adventurer.

As for Lu Minghao claiming to be a kind slime, who would believe that!

"Oh? It seems you've noticed something?"

Lu Minghao, who was moving forward, slowed down and stopped, looking at Kenny, who had his hands raised in a non-hostile gesture. If he could obtain the information he needed in a simpler way, Lu Minghao wouldn't mind spending a little time.

"Please, do not harm me. Also, I will prepare everything you need. The villagers are just ordinary folk, please spare them!"

Kenny, seeing Lu Minghao stop, finally relaxed his tense nerves. He knew that high-level monsters were intelligent beings. Some monsters called 'Demon Lords' had even established their own nations.

This meant that monsters could communicate. However, most of the time, there was no need for communication between monsters and humans, as the result of meeting was always a fight to the death.

But to survive, and for the sake of the villagers, Kenny had no choice but to speak, praying that the slime in front of him truly wanted to obtain something, as it claimed. Only then would he and the villagers have a chance to live.

After all, Kenny had clearly felt Lu Minghao's chilling killing intent just moments ago. This monster in front of him truly intended to slaughter the entire village.

"...Alright, but I need to get some information from you."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Minghao was silent for a few seconds before agreeing. He turned and jumped onto the table, pointing at the book in front of Kenny. As for whether Lu Minghao would spare the village, it depended on Kenny's performance. If...

"Information? What information?"

Kenny cautiously walked to the table, looking at the book with a hint of confusion. It was the first time he had encountered such a monster, one that was interested in human books.

"Where is this place? Which kingdom does it belong to? Also, what major events have happened in the world recently, such as the news of Veldora the Storm Dragon's death."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao controlled the shadows to seal off the entire room and jumped to the side of the table, carefully observing Kenny's facial expressions. Humans, when lying, would have slight changes in their eyes or facial expressions.

As for why Lu Minghao asked about Veldora the Storm Dragon's death in addition to asking which kingdom this was, it was entirely because he wanted to know if another of his kind had reincarnated into this world.

"Your Excellency, this is the Kingdom of Blumert. Its capital is named 'Doron'. It is located to the west of the Jura Great Forest, where Veldora the Storm Dragon is sealed, and a portion of its territory borders it. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Blumert is a member of the Western Nations Alliance. Its main industries are agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade with other kingdoms. As for the major news you mentioned, there hasn't been any recently. Veldora the Storm Dragon is still sealed in the Jura Great Forest. Adventurers go to check on it every year, and there has been no news of Veldora the Storm Dragon's death."

"Additionally, our village is located in a remote area within the kingdom. If Your Excellency wishes to go to the Jura Great Forest, you need to head in the direction where the sun rises."

Kenny racked his brains, pouring out all the information he knew about the kingdom, and specifically emphasized the information about Veldora the Storm Dragon. After all, from Lu Minghao's tone just now, he could tell that he cared greatly about Veldora the Storm Dragon.

"Kingdom of Blumert... And Veldora the Storm Dragon is not dead yet, which means I still have a chance!"

Lu Minghao carefully analyzed the information obtained from Kenny. From his observation of Kenny's eyes and expressions, he probably wasn't lying. However, Lu Minghao wouldn't believe it so easily and would verify it with other villages later.

Another point was that if there was no news of Veldora the Storm Dragon's death, it would prove that the slime who reincarnated into this world like him had not yet appeared. Therefore, Lu Minghao's initial bold idea still had a great chance.

However, regarding that idea... there were still many aspects that needed to be perfected. After all, that was the existence called the illegitimate child of the Creation God, the Star Dragon King.

One more thing about the Kingdom of Blumert: if Lu Minghao remembered correctly, it was just an ordinary small country. Its only characteristic was that it appeared to be a prosperous country in trade and commerce on the surface, but in reality, it was a country skilled at gathering intelligence.

In the original work, it was with this ability that it was the first human kingdom to understand the potential of Rimuru and the Jura Tempest Federation, and it established diplomatic relations and formed an alliance with them.
