The walker from Xingyue, Demon King Rimuru!

"So... the money has already been spent?" Carter murmured in disbelief.

"What kind of expression do you have?" Seeing Carter's expression, Limulu said helplessly: "Please remember that you are on my side, please? Really... Hey, don't worry, there is still Me."

"But what you say, my lord... Otherwise, if this is the case, you should lend me the money first, and I will try my best to serve you..."

"Then why don't you smuggle the curse body first?" Limulu gave him a sideways look, and Carter immediately closed his mouth.

Seeing that Carter finally closed his frank mouth, Limulu held his chest again and tilted his head to look at the old patriarch, and said directly: "Since you have admitted it so frankly, are you ready?"

"Agree to my conditions and let the Konoji family belong to me from now on. In return, I will give your family corresponding support, including this..." Limulu pointed at those people with his chin, and hummed softly. Said: "Small problem?"

money!

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems!

【Don't forget that you still owe Aozaki Orange...】

Great Sage, shut up!

The 20 billion figurines are still in the cabinet, it's really impossible to return them to her!

【…】

"Well, this old man is not good at bargaining. Frankly speaking, I don't want to play with these tricks. I'll make you laugh." Hearing this, the old patriarch hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Carter, as if wondering whether to let Carter avoid it for a while. , but in the end, in front of Carter, he said: "This old man is willing to hand over the position of patriarch."

Carter was shocked: "The patriarch?!"

"Are you sure? This is about the belonging of nearly 200 people. Will they agree?"

"They have no right to object." Hearing this, the old patriarch waved his sleeves and coughed a few times angrily: "Ahem... Roy, who is Carter's captain, is the strongest existence in this family."

"But even so, the last thing he thought about was if they died, would the money not have to be paid back?"

"The dim light in their eyes really made me feel at that moment whether the justice that I have been upholding all my life is really wrong."

"..." This person doesn't want to blacken, does he?

That can't be done... Limuru is a little confused. Why does he want to subdue this family? Isn't it just to call other righteous families, set up people, divide into groups, and then form small groups? !

"This is the first time in my life that this old man spent the money that I asked me to return to them. After all, they shouldn't fall here. Whether it's for the family or themselves, they should be intact and well." Live on... oh."

"What about us? You haven't thought about us?" Several people from the Excavator's Association were immediately unhappy when they heard this.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the old patriarch became even angrier: "You have nothing to do with me!"

"My mother helped so many people when I was young...Who do you remember, huh? Who remembers!?"

"..."

"The poor take care of themselves, and those who are successful help the world. Maybe people will understand a lot when they are old. But now, looking back, the family has become like this. If you want me to abandon those family members cruelly, I can't do it. The old patriarch looked like Limulu, and said, "But I don't think it should be our family's fault."

"It shouldn't be a problem in this world. It can only be said...we haven't done well."

"So?" Limulu asked with interest: "Are you going to change the method?"

"Hakush."

The old patriarch said word by word: "Carter told me about the Harkush family."

"Maybe their way of life is the right one."

In the eyes of the old patriarch, the matter of smuggling the body of the spell is actually not a major crime. Rather, if you can use this kind of thing that hurts other factions to help more people in need, you can maintain it better. The belief in the heart of their righteous family is actually the same as robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Belonging to a different kind of justice.

"...Well, I understand." Limulu nodded and said: "I don't need the position of the patriarch, and you will still be the team leader. After all, you must be highly respected, but I also hope that you can do one thing. arrive."

"That is to obey my orders completely. In return, I will give you all the support you need and do my best...but if you can't."

Limulu smiled slightly: "Believe me, a monarch can really make you pay a hundred times the price at any time."

"So, have you decided yet? Patriarch."

Hearing this, the old patriarch Irina was silent for a moment, then bent down heavily.

"...Master Rimuru, from now on..."

"please."

If these hands really need to be stained with evil, then use several times and ten times of good deeds to make up for it after contamination.

The old patriarch bent down and sighed helplessly in his heart—this was already...the best way she could think of.

Chapter 147, Complicated Relationships

The vibrant emerald green atmosphere exudes a faint light, dancing around Limuru like fireflies.

"Heart of the Shepherd, the core material of the Longevity Fountain and the Rejuvenation Potion, belongs to the first-level spell body. I originally wanted to give this thing to Yumina's family as a gift, but because of Lina's problem, I seem to have forgotten... ..." Limulu said indifferently: "Well, since you have become my subordinate, then this should be regarded as the spoils of war for Haka and the others after they were seriously injured."

"The market price is probably around 20." Limulu sighed, "As for the others."

"After you handle the family affairs, my people will come to contact you."

After dealing with Konoji's trivial matters, Limulu turned his attention to the humanity of the Excavator Association: "I want you to give Konoji a day to deal with the spoils, is that okay?"

"But... my lord..."

"Anyway, the money can definitely be recovered. Even if your superiors find out, isn't it just a proof of your ability to handle things?"

Limulu tilted his head and said: "If your person in charge still has any dissatisfaction, you can come to me, either through the Konoji or Yumina family."

In this mining city, Limuru's own title may not be very useful, but the Yumina family's name is really full of prestige.

After all, it was... a pharmaceutical company that monopolized the medical industry.

Sure enough, after hearing the word Yumina, even though these people are still a little unwilling, they can only pray that the person in charge of the family can really do what the other party said. They won't be punished if they finish handling it themselves.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Speaking of which, this lord is already easy to talk to, after all... If it were the patriarch of another big family, he might just let them go...

…Half an hour later, Hescart silently walked in front of Limulu to lead him the way, and the two of them were finally able to go to the place they were supposed to go from the beginning, the Hakush family.

Unlike Konoji or other knight families, the Harkush family itself has the support of magicians, its strength and wealth have already made it into the ranks of the top families, not only controlling some industries, but also The station is also located around the entrance of the Great Magic Circuit, which is the circle of the city center.

It may be because of the time, there are not many diggers wandering outside at this point, so the two can only hear each other's crisp footsteps——Suddenly, Carter suddenly made a sound, calling back the people who were looking at it with great interest. Rimuru looking at the surrounding environment.

"Well...thank you." Carter said in a low voice, "Although you have been indifferently emphasizing that the help is just to make better use of us, but... I really appreciate it."

"I'm actually very clear that those of us..."

In fact, they don't even have the qualifications to be used.

"Then try to repay with your allegiance." Hearing this, Limulu didn't let him speak the second half of the sentence, but directly interrupted: "You owe me twice now, Carter."

The first time was what the other party said before, because he was rescued by the Hakush family since he was a child, and he willingly fulfilled the oath of the Hakush family, which is considered a debt.

"So, you have to repay me with double your allegiance." Limulu put on a smile and said with a chuckle: "I plan to let you be Lina's guard, she is just a magician apprentice, I hope You can protect her."

"If someone can really hurt her, then I hope that person walked over your corpse, Sarah, can you do it?"

"Understood, I will definitely protect Lady Lina."

"Yeah." Seeing the other party's eyes full of determination like a certain 20 billion, Limulu nodded in satisfaction and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to say thank you."

"Accept it with peace of mind, you deserve it all."

The two came to the Hakush family's residence. The situation here is much better than that of Konoji's. At least... it finally looks like a regular family residence.

The secondary crystals filled with magic lines exude a faint blue light, but they are carved with some unknown ore to form a huge door. Beside the door is a reception hall that is somewhat similar to the structure of the Anatomy Bureau. .

Although the overall style is not very luxurious, it seems to hide absolute arrogance in the low-key, which makes people feel insignificant.

The design is pretty good.

Limuru looked at the door slightly, then took the lead in raising his steps, put down his hood and showed his appearance, and walked in directly. In fact, along the way, Limulu found some problems, that is, compared to the magic of the world on the ground, The situation in the mining city seems to be more extreme than the exclusion of the masters to technology.

At least the magicians on the ground don't like machines or machine idiots, but they will still accept the convenience and style changes brought about by technology.

For example, Lidale's academic city is extremely modern. Even an extremely retro academic city, such as Brisisan, will accept modern layouts, such as the layout of the library, reception room, and living room.

No matter how bad it is, at least I will use an automatic flushing toilet, right? !

But in the mining city, so far, even in Yumina's tavern, what Limulu has seen is only occasionally some things that are incompatible with the medieval environment, and other places are almost all medieval.

It's as if... social civilization has stopped developing in this city.

Is it because of the fear of the mysterious decline caused by the invasion of the light of technology, or is it because of the fear of causing chaos in the tomb itself?

Limulu didn't know, but he vaguely felt that it was more than that simple.

"Hey, look who is back here, isn't this our famous Hescart knight."

The two had just stopped in front of each other's station for a moment, as if they had already attracted the attention of the other party. In an instant, several young people wearing some leather armor and with traces of magic circuits flowing in their bodies under Limuru's perception left. When he came out, he greeted Carter with disdain.

Limulu could see that the other party was not malicious, but seemed to have some slight dissatisfaction with Carter, and there was also some joking tone mixed in.

Obviously, the other party is quite familiar with Carter.

"I don't want to talk to you, Hanano." Hearing this, Carter said directly, "I want to see Patriarch Hakush."

"You are no longer a member of the Harkush family, Carter." Hearing Carter's request, Hanano shook his head and said, "The head of the family is not something you can meet whenever you want."

"...Hano." At this time, a companion beside Hanano pressed Hanano's shoulder and reminded: "Look at the one behind Carter."

Unlike Hanano, who only had Carter in his eyes, several of his companions saw Limuru almost immediately. After all, that long light blue hair and golden eyes are really...

It's so eye-catching.

"Sky, golden eyes..."

Hearing his companion's reminder, Hanano stared at Limulu in a daze, and then his mouth slowly opened wide enough to stuff an egg: "You...you are..."

"My name is Limulu Tempest." Limulu tilted his head slightly and smiled, squinting his eyes and said, "I'm the current candidate monarch of the clock tower. Excuse me, I want to visit the noble patriarch, is that okay?"

……

"Alternate monarch, what is that?"

In the Excavators Association family, Jiji Malee's extremely dissatisfied voice came from an ancient dial-up telephone that was not connected to any telephone lines: "So don't you have any other news?"

"For example, which family does it belong to, and what is its name?"

When will an alternate monarch appear in the clock tower, why don't I know?

No... maybe there is.

Inside the clock tower, Jiji Malee holding the microphone paused slightly, the disdain on his face eased slightly, he frowned and asked: "Is he short, with long blue hair and golden pupils? "

"Uh, my lord, I don't know about these things, and I may need to ask in detail to find out, but... my subordinates remember the other party's family very clearly, it is Yumina."

"Yumina?"

"Yes, because of this, I think it is somewhat credible, so I will ask you for instructions."

"Okay, I get it." Jiji Malee narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Yumina, since Achelot's family is behind it, it should be right."

"Don't provoke him, since he said he is an alternate monarch... then treat him as an alternate monarch." He rubbed his head with a headache and said: "But don't get too close together, let alone reveal your identity .”

"Have you heard similar news that the current factions of the twelve sects are in turmoil?"

"Ah, my lord, I dare not ask about such matters."

"Hmph... Anyway, you should remember that the other party is the guy who is biting Meisters' throat. If you don't want to die, just stay away."

"I understand, my lord. If this is the case, then this matter will stop here, and the deposit that was originally recovered will be returned the same way." Hearing this, the other party's humble voice came from the microphone, saying: "But my lord, I still don't understand."

"Since his status is so noble, why bother to stand up for such a small family?"

"It shouldn't be a question you want to understand, just do your own thing." Jiji Malei replied lightly, but couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little worried for Meast. Ya got worried.

The other party appeared in the tomb of Elbion at this time, indicating that the other party has probably given up on the next action to start the monarchy vote. According to Meastea, he has successfully persuaded the five monarchs including himself , That is to say... Due to the absolute abstention of the two factions of Bathermelo and Animsfia, the biggest result of Limulu's efforts can only be the result of a tie vote among the same five monarchs.

And a tie means failure.

So, this time it means that Meastea escaped, but what about next time?

Limulu is a terrifying existence, and Jiji Malee has seen it from the beginning, but now, after experiencing a failure, the other party is almost keenly aware of the main weakness of his failure, that is, there is no spiritual vein Albi Ang's power and income as a bargaining chip, so immediately start reinforcement in this area.

That's right, isn't the so-called alternate monarch showing off such a title just to subdue some ambitious digger families?

Regardless of how Limulu is developing, at least he realizes that even if he can't match Meastea in the future, he will guard against this move, and the next push...

Jiji Malee hung up the phone, looked at the specimen in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Limulu is the orphan of Tempest, a former democratic faction, and a child saved by the dean.

The one-sided situation of the two deans, Brisisan and Solonia, has undoubtedly proved that the relationship between the other party and the dean is not trivial, coupled with the marriage between the other party and Archelot.
