Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 225·Why did you come to him?
In the palace of King Li Yestije.

Warm sunlight shines through the glass in the room. Princess Lana, wearing a blue dress, is elegantly drinking morning tea at the main seat next to a round table. Exquisite pastries are neatly placed on the table. Opposite the wild rose All members of the adventure team gathered here.

"Princess, what happened last night?"

Wearing a bright red armor, Gegelan, who was taller than a man, casually grabbed a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Princess Lana in front of him and asked,

Last night, after Princess Lana left the dinner with Rose, the leader of the Wild Rose Squad, the Wild Rose Squad who were secretly hiding outside also evacuated. Originally, they thought that the dinner was over.

However, just this morning, the Kingdom Guards issued a search warrant. At least one-third of the nobles who attended the dinner last night disappeared after the dinner. Originally, the families of the nobles just thought that they attended the dinner as usual. After the dinner, get to know the noble or the maid of your choice in depth.

This kind of thing is extremely normal among the nobles, and there are even more outrageous things. For example, there is an incomprehensible etiquette among the nobles of the kingdom to exchange wives with each other, and this kind of thing is even regarded as a kind of fashion?
For example, if a baron's wife is exchanged for a marquis, then this is a great honor for that baron.

Therefore, at first, the family members of those nobles did not take this matter to heart at all, but just this morning, after a discussion, several noble ladies gathered together discovered that their husbands were not at each other's or other noble's houses last night. Appear.

Later, after they asked other nobles who also attended the dinner last night, they discovered that one-third of the nobles who attended the dinner had completely disappeared, and after they asked other nobles who also attended the dinner and survived, back.

The nobles' answers without exception stated that they did not know, saying that last night's dinner was just a normal event. As for the nobles who disappeared, they just selected their prey and left in the middle of the dinner.

But what is ridiculous is that the carriage driver who stayed in the manor courtyard said that he had never seen his master leave. By the way, the coachmen of the missing nobles had all been taken to the cells of the Royal Capital Guards this morning.

By now, he should be almost dead. After all, so many nobles disappeared at once, and the guards would do anything to get clues.

"I don't know, I just saw them leave normally, what do you think, Lakyus?"

As she spoke, Princess Lana showed a distressed expression on her delicate and lovely face, then she tilted her head and looked at Laxus, who was elegantly drinking black tea beside her, as if she had doubts about her own memory.

"Well, the princess is right. The nobles who disappeared last night did indeed leave."

Laxus spoke slowly with a hint of enjoyment on her pretty face. The strong fragrance of the high-end black tea made her a little intoxicated. As for the disappeared nobles, Laxus didn't pay much attention at all. After all, what those nobles did was not in the wild. During the process of investigating Eight Fingers, Team Rose also learned a lot.

".Looks like something happened!"

On the side, the burly Gaigelan's expression became solemn after hearing what Lana and Laisi said. She turned her head and looked at the several Wild Rose teammates who were guarding outside with her last night. You must know that they had been guarding outside last night. They didn't see any nobles leave outside.

That is to say, there was an error in their memories with Princess Lana and Laxus who attended the dinner. In their memories, Princess Lana and Laxese were the first to leave the dinner. However, in Princess Lana's and the others' memories, But there were nobles who had left before them.

"Something must have happened. I knew there must be something wrong with the eight-fingered leader named Hilma hosting this dinner!"

On the side, Ibiruai, the strongest member of the Wild Rose Team, said with a serious face hidden behind a mask. As a magic chanter, she was extremely sure that she had not been affected by any similar suggestive magic, so she was extremely Make sure there are no errors in your memory.

But here's the problem. She had secretly checked the body and mind of her captain Lax and Princess Lana before to make sure that they had no signs of being controlled by magic, that is, there were no errors in the memories of both parties.

In addition, when Ibiruai felt the inexplicable but indescribable feeling while staring at the manor last night, Ibiruai began to feel uneasy in his heart.

"It seems that there is a problem with the memory and cognition between us, and this problem must be related to the disappeared nobles."

On the opposite side, Lana's face became serious at this moment, her big blue eyes filled with the light of wisdom. The members of the Wild Rose beside them couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing Princess Lana like this. After all, after spending a long time together and accepting Princess Lana's commission to investigate the Eight Fingers, they were already full of confidence in Princess Lana's wisdom.

"Princess, do you... do you feel uncomfortable there?"

At this time, Clem, who had been standing silently behind Princess Lana to protect her, heard the princess say that she had problems with her memory and cognition. He quickly approached Princess Lana with a worried look on his face, his eyes filled with concern. and asked worriedly.

"I don't feel uncomfortable there. Thank you Clem for your concern."

Looking at Crum's face so close to her, especially the undisguised concern and worry, which looked like a cute little dog caring about its owner, the sick and twisted love in Princess Lana's heart was greatly aroused. of satisfaction.

"Princess, please rest assured, I, Climb, will protect you to the death even if I risk my life!"

After hearing Princess Lana say that she was fine, Clem breathed a deep sigh of relief in his nervous heart, and then half-knelt in front of Lana and gave a firm assurance.

"Well, thank you Climb, it's precisely because you are here that I feel so relieved."

Looking at Clem who was half-kneeling in front of her, speaking like a loyal dog, Lana couldn't help but reached out and gently stroked Clem's hair, with an extremely satisfied smile on her face, but this scene was different. The members of the Wild Rose next to them looked a bit like an owner stroking a puppy's head to show encouragement.

In the next second, everyone in the Wild Rose Adventure Team, except for the captain Lakyus, shook their heads vigorously and threw this idea out of their heads. After all, the sacred scene of knights and princesses swearing allegiance to the death, how could they think so.

On the side, Laxus, who had just filled up her tea cup, looked at her teammates who were shaking their heads simultaneously with a confused look on her face. At this moment, she had no idea what was wrong with her teammates.

"By the way, I have something to ask of everyone at Wild Rose."

At this time, Lana, who was stroking Kram's hair, raised her head and looked at the members of the Wild Rose team in front of her. Her delicate and lovely face seemed to be shining in the sun. Coupled with her big blue eyes full of wisdom, in an instant, The members of the Wild Rose Team became serious one after another. At this moment, they looked like the world-famous steel-level adventure team.

"As for the entrustment of Eight Fingers, everyone needs to temporarily put it down. At present, all the leaders of Eight Fingers have disappeared except Hilma on the bright side, and the power of Eight Fingers has also shrunk in an all-round way. In addition, the sudden disappearance of so many nobles and wandering editors Other kingdom armies, I have a hunch that some unknown darkness has quietly sneaked into the kingdom."

Having said this, Princess Lana stood up and looked at the members of the Wild Rose Team seriously and continued.

"For this reason, I would like to ask everyone to go to various parts of the kingdom to start investigations. In addition, this is the greatest help I can give you on this mission."

With that said, Princess Lana glanced at Climb who had returned behind her. Then, under the puzzled looks of everyone in the Wild Rose, Climb turned around and walked to the cabinet not far away, and took out a box from inside. Put it on the table.

"Princess, what is this?"

Gegelan looked at the box on the table in front of her and asked Princess Lana with a hint of doubt. She didn't think it contained any treasure. After all, although this thing was not useless to them, it was actually useful. Not that big either.After all, as a world-famous team of adamantine-level adventurers, they can proudly say that they are not short of money.

"Clem."

Princess Lana did not answer Gegelan's question. Instead, she looked at Climb and said something. Climb opened the box with understanding, and thumb-sized beads appeared in the box in front of everyone.

"This is."

As the magic chanter of the Wild Rose Team, Ibiruai noticed something was wrong immediately. He reached out and took out a bead from the box and put it in his hand to observe carefully. The jelly-like feel and the meaning contained in it The magical aura made Ibiruai's expression become strange.

"Princess Lana, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a slime?"

When she mentioned the word slime, Ibiruai's tone was obviously a little uncertain. After all, this was the first time she had seen such a small slime, and the magical aura contained in it was not something that just a slime could possess. of.

"That's right, this is the slime."

Facing Ibiruai's question, Princess Lana nodded with a smile, then picked up a bead and placed it in front of everyone in the Wild Rose. As Princess Lana's fingertips lightly tapped on the bead, the bead in her hand It automatically flew up and then merged into the ground.

"this is?"

At this time, Ibiruai on the opposite side seemed to have noticed something. He controlled the magic power in his body and injected it into the bead in his hand. The next second, Ibiruai's body instantly disappeared from the place, and the bead that appeared before was integrated into it. among the ground.

"Is this the legendary [space movement] magic?"

"Well, these beads are something inherited from the royal family from ancient times. Each one can be used as a spatial coordinate, and it allows the magic aura of the person who records it to move at will."

With that said, Lana closed the box and handed it to the members of the Wild Rose Team. The members of the Wild Rose Team opposite looked at the box in front of them in surprise. They did not expect that Princess Lana would even do such a thing for this mission. Everything was taken out.

But in fact, this is not something inherited from the royal family from ancient times. It is actually just the smallest clone that Lu Minghao made last night by relying on slime's unique talent of [parthenogenesis].

As for the left and right, they slowly erode and pollute everything around them after integrating into the earth. Generally speaking, they are things Lu Minghao made in order to speed up the world to change into his own shape. These things are equivalent to a small version of Lu Minghao.

Although he has no consciousness and soul, and only has one [space movement] ability, he can speed up the process of transforming the world. After all, as long as this thing is integrated into the world, who can say when Lu Minghao's power penetrates every corner of the world? This world is not the shape of Lu Minghao.

Of course, this is just a small step in Lu Minghao's plan, and it is also preparation for the final plan.

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the royal family, but is it really good to give us something like Princess Lana?"

Opposite me, Ibielle said as she reluctantly returned the beads in her hand to the box. For a magic chanter like her who is thirsty for knowledge, these beads that can use [Space Movement] are completely equivalent to moving a piece of beads into the box. It's like putting a plate of delicious food in front of a starving ghost.

But it was precisely because of this that Ibiruai knew how valuable this thing was. To be honest, Ibiruai felt that it was normal for other kingdoms to directly start a war after knowing that the Kingdom of Li Yesteje had something. matter.

"Don't worry. In fact, this thing is not as valuable as you think. It can only record the magical aura of ten people at most. It is not that useful to the kingdom. What's more, I still gave the thing to Wild Rose. You guys, I’m sure you won’t worry about this.”

Opposite, Princess Lana looked at every member of Wild Rose with trust and sincerity in her eyes. The top acting skills made the members of Wild Rose unable to see Princess Lana's true nature at all, and all of them felt extremely moved at this moment.

But in fact, Princess Lana really didn't think this thing was very valuable. After all, she saw with her own eyes last night that Lu Minghao made a pile at will. Now the bed in her room is still full of piles, and most importantly What's interesting is that Lu Minghao deliberately left behind a special clone before leaving.

As long as you feed food and magic power to that special clone, Princess Lana can take out a bunch of these beads at any time.

"Well, then this mission, please rest assured, Princess!"

On the opposite side, Laxus, the captain of Wild Rose, had a firm assurance on her beautiful face, and then left with the members of the Wild Rose team and began to carry out the tasks assigned to them by Princess Lana.

"The seeds have been planted, and the tasks assigned by the master have been completed perfectly."

After the members of the Wild Rose Team left, the twisted smile on Princess Lana's face could no longer be concealed. She turned her head and looked out the window at the Royal Capital and muttered to herself. Behind her, Clem seemed not to have heard Lana's words at all. Normally, he just guards Lana's back like a loyal dog.

"By the way, Clem, let's continue what we didn't finish last night."

The next second, Princess Lana stood up and looked at Clem behind her with a twisted smile full of expectation. Just as they were about to start last night, Lu Minghao suddenly appeared and interrupted them.

"Yes, Princess."

On the opposite side, Clayman nodded obediently and followed Lana. If you look carefully, you will find that a black dog chain was tied around Clem's neck at some point, and the end of the dog chain is at Princess Lana. hands.

When Princess Lana returned to the room with Clem, the maid who was originally guarding outside Princess Lana's door began to look at the closed door and her eyes began to flash. Then she turned and walked away, as if she wanted to take someone away. To whom the message is reported.

However, when she had just taken a few steps out, she suddenly stopped, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, a look of despair and fear appeared on her delicate face, and the originally normal corridor opposite her had turned into an endless corridor. The squirming blood-red flesh channel, with blue pupils staring at her.

The next second, the passage returned to normal again, and the maid had disappeared.

At the same time, in Princess Lana's dimly lit room, she was sitting on a chair looking at Climb who was lying in front of her like a puppy, licking her feet meticulously, with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Why did you reward him!?"

At the same time, the owner Lu Minghao, who was secretly spying on his family in a manor in the royal capital, was looking at the scene in front of him with an aura on his face. Yuli and Yusha who were watching the scene looked confused.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but they always feel like their current owner is envious?
