Re-becoming a human being from Conan

"I'm dying..."

It was spring, and he was walking on the wide and flat streets of the town. Children were running around happily, and travelers were bustling. But Gobda seemed to be carrying a heavy bag, and every step was long.

Why did he start to learn fighting from that old man? There was no place on his body that didn't hurt from being hit by the wooden sword. His energy was completely consumed every day. Gobda felt that his life had lost its meaning.

"Ah... stinky old man..."

After a low sigh, Gobda suddenly trembled and looked around vigilantly.

He had suffered a lot for this in the past. The old man was like a ghost. As long as he said something bad about him, he would appear from nowhere and hit him on the head with a wooden sword.

After being alert for five or six seconds, he didn't receive the familiar attack, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he exclaimed softly, looking not far away.

"Oh, a beautiful lady."

In the crowd, he saw a tall and graceful woman wearing a set of dark purple light armor, with long blood-red hair draped over her shoulders, like a queen.

This aura reminded him of Shion, and the next moment Gobda shook his head again and again, no, no, no, Shion is only more fierce, but not good in any way, not feminine at all!

But this feeling and the pair of horns that don't look like decorations... Is she also a demon? What race? I must have never seen it before...

Just then, the woman seemed to notice his gaze and stopped to look. Gobda then noticed that the man in front of the woman was also with her. He was wearing a simple but elegant robe with a deep blue as the main color and golden fine lines on the edges.

At first glance, it was ordinary, but a closer look...

"It's still ordinary. But why does that beautiful lady look like his guard? Is she a young man from a human kingdom? It's really desirable." Gobda muttered.

"Oi!" The man waved at him and shouted, "Little brother, we want to find a place to eat, do you have any recommendations?"

Little brother? Call me?

Gobda looked around and replied with some curiosity: "For desserts, the slime cakes sold in the Gobua family store, which is 200 meters ahead and turn right, are the best. You will definitely like them. For dinner, turn left. Every barbecue shop is personally guided by Lord Rimuru!"

"Okay, thank you."

"Uh..." Gobda was stunned for a moment, watching the two disappear in the crowd, and muttered, "I always feel that there is something strange."

...

"Mmm... Gulp..."

In the barbecue restaurant, Shivana held a lobster claw bigger than the little girl's arm in one hand, drinking the honey in it, with a gleam in her dark golden pupils, and a smile on her face.

After drinking all the juice, she put down the lobster claws and saw Ji Xing who was grilling meat on the charcoal fire opposite her. She immediately looked apologetic: "Sorry, Master, I was only concerned about eating."

"It's okay, you have a big appetite. I said you don't have to worry about other things when eating." Ji Xing smiled and said, "But I didn't expect that you love sweets. Most of the food you have eaten with me in the past year has been spicy. I didn't notice it?"

"No, Master, I can do anything." Shyvana said, "I just didn't expect that the food in this country established by the monster is more delicious than any food from any country we have eaten except the food cooked by you, Master. I don't know how this honey lobster is made, and the sweetness and umami are perfectly blended together. I really want to ask for advice."

Shyvana is very conscious of being a servant. She has always hoped to replace Ji Xing as a chef in the wild and has been working hard to study.

Ji Xing did not stop her, but he thought that Shyvana would not be able to achieve her wish on this point.

"They used honey to bake in advance, and it's not ordinary honey, it's high-grade honey brewed by bee monsters at least C-level or above."

He revealed the principle of deliciousness and said, "We can try to buy some. There are also these barbecue sauces. I didn't have time to mix them before, but Rimuru restored them well."

"The king of the Monster Federation, the legendary slime?" Shyvana took the clip from Ji Xing's hand and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, which is even more exaggerated than the rumors. Such a weak monster can actually build a town that is more prosperous than all human kingdoms."

"Yes, that's it."

Ji Xing smiled and pinched a cute slime cake and put it in his mouth.

"Haha, this one is mango-flavored."

"Speaking of this, won't the people in this town feel strange?" Shyvana also picked up one: "Using the master's appearance to make pastries... How can you eat it?"

"No, this is how everyone reflects their love for Lord Rimuru." A gentle female voice suddenly interrupted the two of them.

At the door of the private room, a pink-haired girl with two horns on her forehead appeared. She was holding a plate of slime cakes of various shapes and wearing a slightly apologetic smile.

"Sorry to bother you two. I am Shucai from the Oni Clan, and I am also responsible for the town's logistics and Rimuru's food.

In order to improve the town's restaurant dishes, we will randomly select some outside guests to make comments to facilitate our improvement. The two of you spent the most at noon today, so I will send you a plate of desserts. Can you please give your comments on this meal?"

It's not surprising that they spent the most.

The camera zoomed out, and empty plates were piled high on the dining table that could accommodate six people. In front of Shyvana, there were many chewed and sucked carapace shells, not just lobsters. In a world with monsters, Spiders are a delicacy.

"It's so thoughtfully done. No wonder the food here is so delicious." Shyvana took the dessert from Zhu Cai and looked at Ji Xing inquiringly.

Zhu Na's eyes flashed with curiosity.

The two people in front of them not only spent a lot of money, they basically ate enough for twenty people. From the description of the restaurant waiter, the man even ordered the food and it became a spectacle.

'This, this, this...' I heard that after he got the menu, he first ordered three of the dishes, and then said: 'If you don't want these three, you can have one of everything else. ’

Rimuru-sama seemed to have made a joke like this. He was teasing me because he was picky about food, but Shion took it seriously and made a pot of what Rimuru-sama 'wanted'... Well, in any case, from then on, Lord Rimuru no longer dared.

"Would you like a review?" Ji Xing opened his mouth and brought Zhu Cai back to reality. She put on a listening posture and saw Ji Xing looking at the dining table and pondering for a few seconds before saying:

"I can taste that all your ingredients are carefully selected, and most of them are slaughtered on the same day or yesterday. The meat is fresh and tender. The searing level in advance is also just right. Even at the busiest time, there are no mistakes in the rush, and the meat is delicious." There is burnt matter on the top and overcooking occurs.

But it was also too perfectly prepared, and the items were divided too neatly, and the fun of tasting certain foods was lost. For example, there is no need to separate the meat so cleanly at the limb joints of a demon spider. Roasting the bones and flesh together can sometimes create a more unique flavor. "

Zhu Cai's big pink eyes blinked and she nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so... Will pursuing sophistication affect the taste?"

"You can try something." Ji Xing smiled and added: "The other thing is this sauce. It's spicy, slightly sweet, and crispy. They're all pretty good, but you have to take into account the tastes of different customers. If you have different tastes when marinating, It would be even more perfect if it is more refined and offers light salt or even no sauce options.”

"The sauce needs to be more precise." Zhu Cai nodded: "You are right."

"Moreover……"

Ji Xing commented on each piece without hesitation for ten minutes. After hearing this, Zhu Cai took out a small notebook from somewhere and quickly recorded it.

When Ji Xing stopped, it took her more than ten seconds to react. She raised her head and opened her mouth slightly and said:

"Is it over? Sir."

"Well, is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Zhu Cai looked down at the book again and praised: "You are really awesome, you must be a gourmet, right? Thank you for your advice, we will improve it as soon as possible."

"What kind of gourmet? You just love to eat." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I come from the same place as you, Lord Rimuru, so I know more about the delicacies of our world that it restores. In terms of eating experience, I am better than him." Just a little more.”

"Huh? Are you... a summoner? Or a visitor from another world?" Zhu Cai said in surprise: "Actually, I wanted to ask just now, but I was just worried that it would be rude."

"It's the summoner, just call me Ji Xing."

"That's it, Mr. Ji Xing." Zhu Na said with a smile: "Master Rimuru will be very happy to hear that a fellow countryman like you is visiting. But unfortunately, Master Rimuru is not in town now, um... I should be back tomorrow, could you please stay here for one more day?”

"I just arrived today and I'm not ready to leave."

"That's great." Zhu Nai smiled, and then looked at Shyvana and said, "And this lady... Isn't she a human? I'm sorry, I'm a little unfamiliar with your race..."

"Shvana is a dragon and is my guard and companion." Ji Xing said.

"No, I'm just the master's servant and mount." Shyvana quickly corrected her.

Is the relationship between Rimuru-sama and us the same? But isn’t the mount a little weird? Zhu Cai smiled knowingly, but said a little uncertainly: "Is it the dragon tribe? There are many dragon tribes in our federation, but with Miss Sivana..."

"No, Shyvana is a dragon, a flaming dragon, a giant dragon." Ji Xing corrected with a smile.

"………………Why?!!"

…

Ten minutes later, walking on the street, Shyvana shook her head and said: "Compared to the great dragon species Lord Verudra, the Flame Dragon is not worth mentioning. I didn't expect to live in this Jura Forest, because Verudra Monsters born from the magic essence leaked by Lord Della will lose their composure even if they hear about my species.”

"You are a bit self-conscious about being a strong person." Ji Xing smiled and said: "You evolved again when I became a saint, and now you can also be called a demon king. What's more, even if it is not as good as the dragon species, the flaming dragon is also the top race among all monsters. It’s normal to scare people after revealing your true identity.”

"My skills are nothing compared to Master." Shyvana said, "But Master, why do you need to explain to that girl?"

"This is the way to serve guests. This town is different from the previous ones. We will stay here for a long time, so we have to inform the owners here to let them know something." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I have passed It’s a stage of deliberately hiding it until the opportunity comes to scare them.”

Shyvana nodded with understanding, looked around the street and said, "I also like this atmosphere very much. Monsters and humans get along so harmoniously."

"nice! You love it."

The two were strolling down the street until they heard a clanking sound.

There was a blacksmith shop standing at the end of a remote alley. Ji Xing glanced at it from a distance, walked over with Shyvana, and gently knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop.

The sound of tapping was temporarily interrupted.

After more than ten seconds, the door of the blacksmith shop opened, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man from the ghost clan. He said with a gentle smile: "Hello, guest, I am the blacksmith Kurobei. What do you need to order? Weapons?"

"My name is Ji Xing, and I am also a blacksmith." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I wonder if you have a business here selling materials and renting furnaces? I would like to use your land to forge a sword."

Kurobei was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's it...you two please come in first."

Inviting Ji Xing and Shyvana into the blacksmith shop, he also organized his speech and said with a smile: "I make my own weapons. I think you must be a highly skilled forger. I don't know if I have the honor to ask you for advice." Ichiban?

You can tell me your requirements for weapons and watch my preliminary processing. If my skills don't meet your requirements, I can lend you my stove for free. "

His words revealed his strong confidence in his own skills. As the only blacksmith of the former Great Demon Clan, Kurobei, who almost only appeared in the blacksmith shop, indeed had this kind of confidence.

It's just that he can't make the knife Ji Xing wants.

So Ji Xing said: "Then let me take a look at your material reserves first, right?"

"Of course, of course." Kurobei said with a smile on his face: "With the grace of Master Monrimuru, I have an extremely complete range of materials. No matter what kind of weapon the customer wants, I can make it!"

Ji Xing and Shyvana followed him into the warehouse, and were indeed dazzled by the dazzling array of metal materials. In addition, crystals and wood that were probably rare in the outside world were also piled in boxes here, because of the existence of Veludra. The Jula Forest, which no one has entered, is a natural treasure house!

Ji Xing confirmed the materials one by one.

Well, basically I don’t know them.

This is normal. Ji Xing hasn't paid special attention to it since he time traveled. How do you know the unique materials here? At most, I can find a few similar things based on past experience.

But it doesn’t matter.

Unique skill, Explorer, activate!

This is a unique skill from the world of full-time hunters. It is the ability brought by Ji Xing through the mysterious tower to explore the secret treasures of the dark continent.

A slight fluorescence flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at a metal, he naturally recognized all its properties and characteristics, as well as all the formulas for use with other materials!

A large amount of knowledge floods into the brain, the world is vast, and there are more than ten thousand different combinations of one substance and other substances. If an ordinary person has the skill of Explorer, he will not dare to turn it to the maximum power, but Ji Xing has no scruples. .

In a matter of seconds, he had become ten times more knowledgeable about this metal than the person who knew it best in the world. Switch to the next one and continue.

When an excellent blacksmith is faced with a dazzling array of materials, it is normal for him to spend a certain amount of time choosing a matching plan. Kurobei didn't think much about it and just waited there for Ji Xing for five minutes.

Ji Xing then said: "I'll take it."

Kurobei smiled: "You have your choice."

So Ji Xing stepped forward and picked up four types of metal, two types of wood, two colors of magic crystal, and a small bag of blue sand, and asked:

"How much are these worth?"

"Hmm... about 13 gold coins, and they still need to be weighed." Kurobei made a simple calculation, and said unexpectedly: "You said... you want to make a sword, right? These materials... Furutetsukiwa The conflict with the Black Flame Stone was okay, I could handle it after spending some time, but...

Amethyst and turret? Did you mistake amethyst stone for purple wind stone? These two are completely in conflict and will greatly damage the quality of the sword! "

"Forged under a flame of 1400 to 1600 degrees, amethyst stone and black rui stone can occasionally synthesize amethyst star stone, a brand new metal, don't you know?" Ji Xing smiled and said: "Yes, it is a small probability event. , generally difficult to find.”

"……ah?"

Kurobei was stunned for a moment and became energetic. He was extremely pious about forging.

"Is there such a thing? Between 1,400 and 1,600 degrees, there is a small chance that it will work... Temperature control is a difficult problem, and..."

"Let me do it myself." Ji Xing said again.

This time Kurobei was just slightly hesitant. If Ji Xing wasn't kidding, he might be a descendant of a certain blacksmithing family who knows that kind of secret, and he might actually be better than me.

"Sir, please."

Soon, Kurobei saw art.

Forging is a very sacred thing in his heart. The action of hammering the rough material and the force of each blow must be particular. Only when the force is uniform and perfect can the limit of the material be stimulated.

In this regard, he has always been very proud of his precise power control and his willpower to withstand loneliness, but he didn't know what perfection meant until he saw Ji Xing wielding a hammer.

Not only the strength, but also the rhythm.

The tinkling sound even constitutes beautiful music, and the hammered material seems to be celebrating that it has been processed by Ji Xing.

With those perfect blows, the blank material quickly transformed into the finished product...

Wait, is that too fast? !

Kurobei suddenly came to his senses in a trance. Although you hammered it perfectly, it seems that only ten minutes have passed. How come the blanks that usually take half a day seem to be processed?

This unscientific!

But, this is very strange.

Although he was making a weapon for himself, Ji Xing didn't want to spend ten days or half a month.

Unique skill, scientologist, activate!

"This is my unique skill." He explained to Kurobe in the gap between making.

Kurobe almost drooled with envy.

So he finished one piece after another, and completed step by step. Finally, it was time to fuse the amethyst and the urui stone. Kurobe, who benefited a lot from watching, volunteered:

"I'll set the furnace temperature..."

"No need." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Shyvana, 1500 degrees of fire."

"Understood, master."

Then Kurobe saw Shyvana open her mouth and spit out a column of flames evenly, burning on the two rough pieces, and Ji Xing could still precisely control the temperature in this terrifying temperature.

This is... unreasonable.

Under the science of science, small probability events also became high probability, so the most difficult level was passed, and a weapon was formed in an ordinary way.

Kurobe's expectations rose again.

The red-hot sword mold had begun to reveal an extraordinary aura, and he had a feeling that this would be a weapon of extraordinary level.

Special grade? Rare grade?

No, legendary grade?

Even...even above the legendary grade, reaching the strongest level? !

Seeing the final result coming out, Ji Xing's hammering suddenly became heavy!

With a thud, the sword that was about to take shape seemed to let out a miserable groan and jumped up. Immediately afterwards, Ji Xing's hands seemed to turn into afterimages, quickly sprinkling water and the blue sand that he had chosen when selecting the material, and the hammer also danced out afterimages.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, the hammering lost its beauty, and what finally appeared in front of Kurobe was an ordinary sword blade with a gradient of black and gray.

"This, this is..."

"Legendary peak." Ji Xing said: "After all, it only took an afternoon to make this sword. Although it originally had the chance to enter the mythical level, I suppressed it and also retained the possibility of its evolution, so that it can enter a higher level in the future, the mythical peak, or even higher."

Hei Bingwei didn't listen to the rest of the words.

Legendary peak...originally had the chance to enter the mythical level...these words hovered in his mind, making him seem to have lost his soul.

It was not until Ji Xing was dealing with the hilt and scabbard that he came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Ji Xing, although... this request may be a bit rude, but... can I learn blacksmithing from you?"

"I will stay in the Demonic Federation for a while. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"Thank you so much!" Hei Bingwei grinned: "I don't have much to repay you. You can use these materials in the blacksmith shop as you like! I will ask Master Rimuru to approve more!"

"That's good." Ji Xing turned his head and glanced at Shivana: "I'll make you a set of protective gear later."

"You mean... the dragon body?"

Ji Xing was stunned and laughed: "Hahaha, you have learned bad things, Shivana."

Shivana smiled and said nothing.

...

When Ji Xing and Shivana left the blacksmith shop, it was completely dark.

Hei Bingwei closed the door of the blacksmith shop devoutly and went to comprehend the skills he saw in the afternoon, while Ji Xing and Shivana strolled towards the center of the town.

This time, I didn't spend any coins, but my sword was changed from an ordinary fine iron sword to a legendary top weapon made by Ji Xing himself!

"This city-state is really good." Shyvana looked at the things sold by vendors at small stalls on the street at night and sighed again.

Yes, the monster town at night is also very lively, and the two soon found that the crowd was gathering in one direction, and there was a faint sound of singing from there.

To be honest, the singing was not very good.

But songs and music are always attractive.

The two followed the flow and came to the place where the singing sounded. As expected, it was the dragon-man Gavier and some of his fans, singing and dancing, which was quite funny.

The square at the other end was even more lively. I saw that around a blazing bonfire, the monster girls, mainly goblins, were singing and dancing, performing for the tourists in the town.

The surrounding audience was surrounded by a black mass, but the two easily got to the right position.

A very strong pigman beside him was holding a very cute goblina of two or three years old to watch the performance. He felt that the people around him had changed, so he turned his head to look at Ji Xing and Shivana.

He seemed to feel something from Shivana, and he was stunned for a moment. The goblin riding on his shoulder also noticed the two people as he turned around. His cute big eyes turned around and stared at Shivana's pair of dragon horns curiously.

She wanted to reach out, but timidly retracted.

Ji Xing glanced at Shivana, and Shivana smiled and stretched out her arms to the little goblin.

"Hmm..." The little goblin hesitated and looked at the pig-headed man. The pig-headed man also hesitated for a few seconds before handing her over.

So Goblina sat on Shyvana's shoulders, holding the dragon horns with both hands, with a curious and happy smile on her face, and continued to watch the show, and whispered: "Thank you, sister."

Ji Xing said to the pig-headed tribe: "Ji Xing."

The pig-headed tribe was silent, and moved half a step sideways to give Ji Xing a better position: "Gade."

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that all the performances ended, the stalls were closed, and the monster town finally stopped being lively and was about to fall asleep.

After saying goodbye to Gade and Goblina, Ji Xing and Shyvana walked through the empty streets, found a tall building, and jumped onto the roof.

Just two seconds after the footsteps, a figure appeared beside them. The man had red hair and two tear marks under his eyes, which made him look handsome.

"A fellow countryman of Lord Rimuru, a guest from afar." He said to the two people: "My name is Benimaru, and I am Shuna's elder brother. She said that you two gave her very useful advice on diet, and I thank you on her behalf.

It's getting late, didn't you book a hostel? If necessary, I can arrange a quiet place for you."

"Thank you for your kindness." Ji Xing smiled and said, "But no need. Neither of us needs much sleep, so we can just enjoy the night sky and feel the peace on this roof. Don't disturb us, right?"

"No, of course not."

Hongmaru responded, but a flash of doubt flashed through his mind.

It is said that it is normal for a woman who is a flaming dragon not to need sleep, but this man is obviously a human... No, this feeling...

Just wondering and wanting to explore, a strong sense of uneasiness flashed through Hongwan's heart. This feeling reminded him of the demon king who had visited the Monster Kingdom, the destructive tyrant Milim!

No, how could it be possible? That was one of the three oldest demon kings. The man in front of him should not be able to be compared with her, but... Although it is a bit disrespectful to say, this man as a summoner may be stronger than Lord Rimuru, and he is definitely a dangerous person!

Fortunately... I firmly denied that Shion followed me, and he didn't seem to have any ill intentions?

"In this case, I won't bother you two." Hongwan bowed slightly to say goodbye.

Ji Xing and Shivana sat on the eaves.

Under the peaceful and beautiful night, Ji Xing slowly advanced the progress of the saint and increased his own soul capacity, while Shivana quietly guarded.

One night passed quickly.

The dawn sun fell on the streets of the Monster Kingdom, and the town gradually woke up again.

Ji Xing stood up and stretched, exhaling the first breath of turbid air in the morning, only to feel his body lighter and in a good mood.

This world is very different from the worlds he invaded before. There is more than one "traverser". He no longer needs to be the savior. He doesn't even need to care about the goal of making all races live in harmony. He just needs to watch the slime perform.

Although there may be some setbacks in the middle, and Ji Xing and Shivana arrived at the right time, he has already felt the actions of the Kingdom of Farmus, but...

"It's another beautiful day."

"It's another unlucky day." On the street not far away, Gobta grumbled in frustration while warming up and jogging. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Ji Xing standing on the roof in surprise.

"You, you are not yesterday..."

"oi!" Ji Xing smiled and shouted: "Little brother, I am Ji Xing, a wild skill merchant. Do you want to buy a skill from me?"

What wild skill merchant, this is the Monster Kingdom Jura Tempest... huh?

"Wild skill merchant?!"
