Ch 299: Kokomi: The Smuggling’s Been Discovered!
The Electro Archon nodded in satisfaction.
“Hmm, you on Watatsumi Island are short on supplies, right? In a few days, I’ll have General Kujou lead a team to send you a batch.”
Kokomi nodded slightly.
“Thank you, Electro Archon. Watatsumi Island is indeed severely lacking in supplies.”
Hearing this, the Electro Archon smiled meaningfully.
“You should also speed up the restoration of trade and conduct legitimate business. Understand? Also, the General is collecting Primogems; pay attention to collecting them after you return.”
Kokomi was stunned by the Electro Archon’s words, but after a few seconds, she nodded in agreement.
Afterwards,
the Electro Archon had Kokomi and Gorou leave the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Seeing the two leave, Ayaka looked at the Electro Archon.
“Electro Archon, Xingqiu and March 7th invited me to play in the next few days.”
The Electro Archon heard this.
“Oh, you haven’t been there for many days, have you?”
Ayaka nodded.
“Yeah.”
The Electro Archon shook her head.
“You two are lucky. Unlike me, I have to deal with a pile of troublesome matters every day. Sigh, when will my leisurely life return?”
Ayaka chuckled in agreement.
“That… Electro Archon, I’ll go first then. Goodbye.”
At the foot of Mount Narukami.
After descending the mountain, Kokomi looked back at Mount Narukami with lingering fear.
“It’s fortunate that the Electro Archon discovered this matter. If it were someone else…”
Gorou was puzzled by Kokomi’s sudden and inexplicable remark.
“Military Advisor, what do you mean?”
Kokomi said,
“Gorou, the Electro Archon knows about you using Primogems to purchase supplies last time. Her last few words were aimed at us. Legitimate business, the General needs Primogems. The opposite of legitimate business is illegal business done in secret, such as smuggling. And the General needing Primogems means the Electro Archon knew about our Primogem transactions.”
After hearing Kokomi’s analysis, Gorou felt a wave of fear. Just as the Military Advisor said, they were indeed lucky.
Fortunately, it was the Electro Archon who discovered this matter. If it were any other clan or faction, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Kokomi said to Gorou,
“Gorou, after you return, bring people to collect Primogems and send them to the General.”
Gorou bowed slightly to acknowledge the task.
Inside Ye Yun’s Shop.
Rimuru came to the shop to freeload again. There’s no other way, those goblins’ skills are really average.
Plus, they don’t have any seasoning; not even basic salt.
Ruan Mei had Asta bring over a warship to take the demonic beasts she captured back for experiments.
Ruan Mei was in a good mood, having harvested so many novel experimental subjects at once.
Along with the warship came several construction robots. These robots belonged to the Black Tower Space Station and were specifically responsible for its construction.
Ruan Mei transferred control of the robots to Rimuru.
“Rimuru, these are construction robots. Their chips contain thousands of blueprints.”
Rimuru looked at the construction robots in surprise.
“Oh! Amazing! Thank you, Ruan Mei.”
Ruan Mei nodded slightly and boarded the warship to leave the train.
As soon as Ruan Mei left, Ayaka came out of the portal.
Ayaka looked around the shop interior.
“Ye Yun, where are Xingqiu and the others?”
Ye Yun heard this.
“Xingqiu? They went to play in Rimuru’s world; they said they were going to be wolf knights.”
Rimuru, hearing Ye Yun mention himself, looked up.
“Hello, I’m Rimuru, a kind Slime.”
Ayaka looked at Rimuru.
“Wow! A talking Slime!”
Rimuru was a little speechless. It seemed like he’d heard this sentence many times.
Is a talking Slime really that surprising?
If Ye Yun knew what Rimuru was thinking, he would have said,
Of course, it’s surprising. In the Myriad Worlds, most Slimes are mindless demonic creatures.
Ayaka, realizing she had misspoken, looked at the sullen Rimuru.
“That… I’m sorry.”
Rimuru shook his head.
“It’s okay. If you want to find Xingqiu and the others, you can go directly there; they’re playing at my place.”
After thanking Ayaka, she ran into the portal.
After finishing his meal, Rimuru took the robots back to the Goblin Village.
As soon as he returned, he saw Xingqiu, Ayaka, and several others riding an adult Ran’ya Wolf galloping in the open space near the village.
While riding the Ran’ya Wolf, Xingqiu let out a series of “Woohoo” sounds.
Rimuru glanced at them and ignored them, letting them play on their own.
Rimuru started building houses with the construction robots.
Due to limited materials, he could only build wooden houses for now.
Rimuru was already very satisfied; it’s much better than those ragged tents.
Xingqiu, March 7th, and others rode the Ran’ya Wolf for a while, then Xingqiu waved his hand.
“Let’s go, let’s go see the forest.”
Hearing this, March 7th and the others patted the Ran’ya Wolves they were riding, sending them running towards the forest.
As they ran, Xingqiu suddenly heard a sound of fighting ahead.
Xingqiu stopped the Ran’ya Wolf.
“Ayaka, Hu Tao, listen, did you hear anything?”
Ayaka, Hu Tao, and the others listened carefully and vaguely heard screams.
“There’s a battle ahead. Should we go help?”
Liuyin said,
“Rimuru said that there are a large number of demons living in this forest. It’s possible that a passerby encountered demons; let’s go help.”
Then, several people rode their Ran’ya Wolves and ran all the way.
As they got closer, they heard the sounds getting louder and louder.
The shrill screams echoed in their ears.
Hu Tao, Liuyin, and Lumine transformed into Sam, one stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheel, and one summoned Light Wings; the three quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
At the source of the sound.
Inside the Oni Village.
A demon with a group of Boar-Headed Men attacked the village. As soon as the engagement began, the Oni noticed something was wrong.
Why would Boar-Headed Men, mere low-level demonic creatures, dare to attack the Oni?
The Oni were the strongest race in this forest.
Moreover, the strength of these Boar-Headed Men was unusual.
Based on past experience, an adult Oni male could easily kill dozens of Boar-Headed Men.
However, the results on the ground were different. One Oni could only deal with 4-5 at most.
The entire village was surrounded, and the Tribal Chieftain could only fight back desperately with his people.
The masked demon Klumiet stood on a Large Tree.
“Hahahaha! That’s it! Devour! Grow stronger! Pig-Head Emperor!”
The mastermind behind this was the demon Klumiet; he was a member under the Demon King Clayman.
After learning of the Storm Dragon Veldora’s disappearance, Clayman had Klumiet come to this forest to cruelly bestow names, causing the demons in the forest to slaughter each other, ultimately selecting the strongest race to replace Clayman and occupy this large forest.
