Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 130: The Invitation

The operation to conquer Yuuki ends in failure.

But taking advantage of what we could, we re-established the Freedom Association for our benefit.

Thanks to our efforts in getting rid of Yuuki and his bystanders, the transition went smoothly.

In the end, a single templar was left in each branch, and thus a new control system was created with the Church of the Western Saint at the head.

And the Church began to change its language and structure to more than “spirit worship. ”

Then there is the Free Arbitration Committee.

A new organization formed by the Western Association of Freedoms and Saints.

Unlike Board – International Board, I mean – which operates by selecting delegates, Committee – Free Arbitration Committee – consists of guild chairman Freedom Association.

Once established, it became a method for states to negotiate on neutral grounds.

Sakaguchi Hinata was appointed as the first Chairman of the Committee.

And because the Church and the Templars refused to run for this office, his appointment was rather amiable.

Furthermore, according to the information gathered by the templars, there were no differences of opinion seen at this time in the branches. I mean, we demon lords — Ramiris and I in particular — tend to operate behind the scenes, but there is a surprising lack of opposition even when we act openly.

Thus, after establishing this organization, we can join the countries around Jura forest with two unions – Council and Committee.

You need a strong bond between countries in a big union.

It was the state of the world a month after the failed conquest attempt.

Of course, when everyone was busy building this new organization, I wasn't just playing around.

Three days after the failed conquest attempt he emerged.

Tearing through the barrier of the Ingracia Kingdom, wearing silver armor, he appeared, and,

The Silver Knight Alrose.

Introducing himself as Platinum Devil's servant Leon Cromwell, he gave me a letter.

It was an invitation.

As he promised, he invited me.

But ... Why now?

「Master wants to discuss things about" Hero "with you, Rimuru-sama」

After Alrose said so, I got an idea of what was in store.

The letter came after the hero woke up completely — surely that was the cause.

Maybe Leon knows something about Chloe. Looks like they're crossing each other, so maybe there's something he knows we don't know.

I decided to accept the invitation. After all, I have never complained on behalf of Shizu-san.

It all depends on his intentions from now on.

"Good . I received an invitation 」

「Your kind words are in vain for us. My lord will be very pleased. Please, this way 」

Alrose had a helmet all the time so I didn't know what kind of face he was making, but he obviously sounded happy about it; oh, and he moved on.

Instant teleportation can be used by many High-level Demons. Even if he used the predetermined coordinates, it was still a big deal.

By the way, those who could teleport to any place (even those they had never visited before) were extremely high existences. Even among my subordinates only Diablo could do it. This is not a skill you can use unless you have a spiritual body.

How it works is: Shadow Step -> Spatial Transfer -> Teleport.

You can also move using magic circles, but the previous three are skills, not magic.

I have used skills and magic interchangeably so I didn't even notice it, but there seems to be a difference. I mean, Hinata said there was, and she must be right.

Spatial transfer requires you to open the door and step into it to travel. It's not something you can use during a battle. As for Teleportation magic, he instantly created and executed a magic circle that allowed for instant travel. It could be used to dodge enemy attacks and such, so those who could use teleport were rather powerful.

But since it is usually only limited to your starting point and previously visited location, this skill does not determine the opponent's skill at all.

By the way, even the lowest spatial magic should be quite instant, so one cannot let his guard down.

The second Silver Knight Alrose disappeared, a magic circle appeared where he was standing. In other words, that's what I need to use to get there.

Magic knight, spatial magician, and I believe he is very skilled with his teleportation ability.

Damn you Leon, you have a good subordinate.

I think I should go and teleport Benimaru, Shion, and the others.

Because now I feel that I can provide skills without problems, and that can increase our war potential.

So I was thinking while Alrose disappeared.

For the record, Hinata could also teleport. But, since it used so much magical energy, he could not at this moment.

But given his ability to do so aimlessly: I can finally appreciate his true strength.

Although he could no longer use his ability 『Mathematics』, he was still a genius magician.

He had indeed become weaker, but not as much as he claimed.

＊ ＊ ＊

And thus I came.

The land that Leon controlled was more of a continent than an island. The area was staggering, and the cities were divided into several districts.

Forest District, Field, Lake, River, and Mountain.

Each sector is protected through a magic circle.

Land of nature and artificially created serenity – a magical city.

It was the land of Satan Lord Leon Cromwell – El Dorado.

「Yo ... this is amazing」

Mumbles.

「Hahaha, you're too good. My master would love to hear such a compliment 」

Alrose replied happily as he guided us.

Right now, his helmet had come off and beautiful silver hair had fallen on his back.

Even though she looks like a girl, it's a boy. He is the Captain of the Magic Knights.

So, it was no wonder that Leon believed so much.

But, this country is truly amazingly built. The streets glistened as if they were made of gold.

Each building was carefully placed, and a spiral castle reached into the sky.

If you look from above, you will see that a giant magic circle was created using the city itself. In other words, other than those who could see from above, the circle was invisible.

The circle is supplied with energy from the citizens themselves. Such careful construction tickled my pride a little.

There is no question about it: Prahara is a beautiful country. But we didn't put magic into the ground itself.

And that bothers me a little now.

「Rimuru-sama, what's amazing?」

Shion walked behind me asking.

Although he should have an overhead view, he had yet to notice it. Just shows how complicated this construction is.

「This city creates a single giant magic circle.

The city was blessed with "Counter Magic" and "Enemy Radar" as a result.

Just imagine being attacked with large-scale magic: this is an automatic victory for the city.

I wonder if we should copy it in Tempest? 」

「Oh? Sounds amazing, although I don't really understand 」

「Hahaha, as expected. Even though you haven't seen it from above, you've noticed so much.

Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. You are right; this city prides itself as its absolute magical barrier 」

Alrose proudly replied.

Shion seriously did not understand. I guess he doesn't recognize magic. It is not surprising that he cannot understand it.

I wonder how difficult it is to create a city that includes two magic circles.

Just creating one would certainly be troublesome, but here they had two; and he also had to take into account future developments. That's too amazing.

But this is a way for me to have fun. I will definitely apply the same in my country.

As soon as we left the magic circle room, the hallways were made of classes.

The distant scenery is filled with rivers and waterfalls that flow with beautiful designs.

Damn her! This town is beautiful.

I can't help but accept it, but it makes me jealous – which then encourages my creativity!

And after walking ten minutes,

We were guided to one of the rooms in the Royal Palace.

The items were obviously luxurious, and were of course of good quality. The color pattern is white and gold.

Of course not poorly designed – he has good taste.

I guess it's meant not to intimidate people into a heart attack. And just as the outside is decorated with beautiful gold, so is the inside.

In short: it doesn't make visitors uneasy, and it's something I feel can easily replicate.

As for Shion: the moment he entered, he sat down, started chewing on snacks and sipping tea; completely unaffected.

Hm? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Shouldn't I be like that?

Ignore that. If you notice that kind of thing you lose.

「Rimuru-sama, this candy is very tasty. And not poisoned, please have it! 」

Shion said give me the candy.

To think that chef Shion would talk about poison. Besides, the poison didn't affect me.

And like that we waited 10 minutes,

Until the ruler of this country, Leon Cromwell appeared.

「Are you waiting a long time? Thank you for receiving the invitation in a short time 」

He said and sat in the chair in front of me.

He was dressed more rudely than I remembered, and he spoke clearly.

Crossing her legs, she clearly looked like she was in a movie.

Although Alrose was clearly handsome, Leon could only be described as beautiful.

Of course, it doesn't please me too much.

But ignoring the problem of his manhood, let's return to the main question.

I told him about Shizu's last moments.

「Begilah ... He lived longer than I expected」

Leon answered clearly.

But it doesn't make me angry. Maybe because I noticed something,

「Hey, do you have Ifrit who has it to save his life?」

"Who knows? I may have done something like that; I don't remember 」

Leon closed his eyes.

But it is clear that he is a bad actor.

「Hmph .. whatever. I got it .

Oh, and Ramiris mentioned something interesting: You crybaby? 」

When I said that, Leon's face looked desperate.

「That damn boy ... next time I'll rip his wings」

He said with anger.

Well, it doesn't seem like a lie.

「I will tell him.

Oh, and you said something about calling someone special, is that right? 」

That's when the room went quiet.

After some time passed, Leon seriously opened his mouth.

"It was very .

And it's connected with the reason I asked you today 」

Leon said and glanced at Shion.

I nodded, though,

「Shion, this conversation is a little complicated.

Please help Alrose with something, won't you? 」

I said ask Shion to leave.

「With all means. Shion-san, please help me in the preparation room 」

Leon directed Alrose to say it with a glance.

Shion nodded silently and followed Alrose out of the room.

And thus I was alone with Leon in the room.

After confirming this fact,

「Do you know a little girl named Chloe?」

Leon asked.

Yup, everything is connected.

I'm not surprised that Leon said this name.

Perhaps I had already predicted such an outcome after listening to Hinata and Ruminas.

It explained who requested Yuuki's services for the summoning and why his condition was as it was.

That is why children are called and why most girls>

He looks for Chloe from the beginning: Shizu-san and the others are just byproducts.

But what came afterwards from Leon's lips really shocked my mind.
