After walking for three days, they finally arrived at the Dwarf Kingdom.

Since the founding of the Dwarven Kingdom by Gran Dwargan, the first heroic king, this country has stood for a thousand years. The current king inherits Gran's legacy, preserves its history, culture, and technology, and leads its development.

The land governed by this wise king was the military power Dewagang.

There are quite a few monsters coming and going here, some even coming from far away.

The dwarves are willing to purchase magic equipment at high prices and pay with props. In other words, some monsters cannot distinguish the quality of items, so they go to the dwarf kingdom that knows the value of the items to sell them.

Everything the dwarves create, from their equipment down to the finest quality, is of the highest quality. So good that even humans would approve. Everyone comes to the Dwarven Kingdom for these things, gathering humans, demihumans, and intelligent monsters, regardless of status. This is a tradition in the Dwarven Kingdom, and the king forbids civil strife in the kingdom.

The Dwarf Kingdom remains neutral, so even monsters will not be discriminated against and can buy things smoothly, which is quite attractive.

Moreover, the goblins said that the dwarf army had never been defeated in the past thousand years.

The Dwarven Kingdom had heavy infantry as a solid wall, and behind them were powerful magic troops. Before the enemy could break through the infantry defense wall, they were first defeated by the magic attack.

The reason why it has such powerful strength... is all thanks to the equipment produced by high-end technology.

Those weapons were crafted with the most advanced technology, and human work was incomparable. No one would want to provoke such a military power.

Naturally, people did not oppose the dwarves, but chose to establish friendly relations with them. Therefore, even if they encountered monsters in their land, most people would not be foolish enough to start a quarrel on the spot.

Even if they were monsters, they would sell them items without discrimination. Perhaps the dwarves were unexpectedly friendly. If they got along well, they might even become friends.

It is a city where humans and monsters coexist.

The Dwarf Kingdom should be considered an exception in this world.

War supplies are sold everywhere, and at the same time, peace is enjoyed. The arms dealers' base is actually a paradise, which, from a certain perspective... perhaps quite ironic.

This is the full picture of the military power Dewagang that the group heard about during their journey.

Chapter 326 Chapter 12 Someone is looking for trouble

There is a queue in front of the gate, which is embedded in a natural giant cave.

This door is only opened when the military comes in or out. I heard that it is only opened once a month.

Too bad it's not open today.

There is a small entrance and exit below the gate, which is usually the only one open.

There were smaller gates to either side of the main entrance, but there was no queue on the right side. Perhaps it was a lane reserved for high-ranking officials, hence the emptiness. On the left, however, there was a long queue. Some people were allowed through without any conditions, while others were taken elsewhere for questioning. Their situations varied.

As for this small door on the left, its strict security is worthy of the reputation of a military power.

It is to tell the world that "our reputation as a military power is not in vain."

I should be able to feel freer once I get inside...

But the line is so long.

Traveling for three days is a small matter, but waiting for the clearance here feels like it will take Rimuru even longer.

"As expected of the Dwarf King's territory, the gate is quite impressive."

"Look at the armor that soldier is wearing. We couldn't even afford it after working for ten years..."

"Of course. Even the Eastern Empire avoids direct confrontation with them. Just look at that equipment and you'll know why."

"Of course. Anyone who dares to become an enemy of the dwarves will surely die. No nation wants to suffer terrible retaliation and be destroyed!"

Rimuru was standing in the queue at the left gate, observing the movements around him, and this conversation reached his ears.

Could it be that the dwarves of this world are different from what we imagined, not a gentle people? It sounds unexpectedly hot.

This country is a free trade city and a trading hub for all races. Therefore, it has become a completely neutral city. It seems to be common knowledge among adventurers that the Dwarf Hero King will not tolerate fighting in this city.

Force is an indispensable element in maintaining peace. It turns out that this concept is also applicable in other worlds.

Just as Rimuru was immersed in his own world——

"Hey, hey, hey! Someone showed up here with a monster! It's okay to kill the monster here before we even get inside, right?"

"Hey, what's the point of lining up? You guys are so arrogant. If you don't want to die, give up your seats! And, leave your belongings behind. If you do as I say, I'll let you go this time!"

Some people started saying some inexplicable things like this... Correction, it sounded like they were threatening Rimuru and the others.

The only monsters in the line now were Rimuru, Gobda, and Qiu Wenjian. Leading a group of people wearing only loincloths would be too conspicuous. So, Rimuru said, "Hilqiu and I will go with Gobda, who's leading the way!" The plan was finalized.

Riguru wanted to come along, but Rimuru refused.

They were camping at the entrance of the forest, waiting for Rimuru and his group to return.

The three hill-hillies who looked easy to bully were targeted by the adventurous duo who were too lazy to line up.

"Hey, hey, hey, Gobda, do you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard it all..."

"Have you been harassed before when you came here to do business?"

"Of course! I was being bullied here, and luckily the Gnoll Merchant saved me! If they hadn't saved me, I might have died!"

"...So you've been harassed before, so you let them do whatever they want?"

"Weak monsters can only accept their fate..."

Gobda seemed to have been in trouble before. Furthermore, he was quite resigned to his fate.

I wish he had said it sooner.

Gobda seemed to see through Rimuru’s thoughts with his eyes, and lowered his head.

He had finally learned how to talk to Rimuru calmly, but this sudden incident pushed him back to square one?

Rimuru was a little worried.

"Hey! You're just a bunch of trash monsters, and you don't even take me seriously!"

"Say, talking slimes seem rare, don't you think? Want to catch one and use it as an exhibit?"

The duo continued to talk annoyingly, taking turns.

Rimuru was very angry, but he was about to take action even though he had just agreed not to harm humans. This was a bit embarrassing.

So Qiu Wenjian stepped forward out of boredom.

"In the way."

An inverted triangle was drawn in the air, and the Seal of Axis was activated. The two men looked drowsy and were controlled by Qiu Wenjian's illusion.

"Crawled on the ground and left in a round and fast manner."

"Okay, we get it."

The two men simply lay on the ground and rolled away to an unknown distance.

"Hey?! What did you do to them?"

Oh, Qiu Wenjian looked over boredly.

Sure enough, there is an accomplice.

Two people drove away the seemingly weak adventurer and his monster companion, and then the three people secretly dealt with them and robbed their property.

"Rimuru, do I look like someone who can be bullied?"

"No, how should I put it, I think your expression is quite scary sometimes... Well, most of the time you don't show it, okay?"

A professional assassin should have no sense of existence. He should be able to be invincible in front of you and you won’t even notice. When everyone is hacked to death, no one will be able to notice him. This is the highest level.

So, is it because the passive ability of the aura shield was triggered that these people ignored Qiu Wenjian?

It was so troublesome that Qiu Wenjian couldn't even remember that someone else was picking on him.

"You guys should leave together..."

Although the three of them had made preparations in advance, the Seal of Axis was directly drawn on their faces through the space channel opened by the Emperor's Requiem. They also left with a dazed expression.

"Ohhhh, awesome, Qiuqiu, what is this?"

"Illusion, making others hallucinate and listen to me. These people are too weak. It's very useful, but it's useless when encountering a strong person."

If it was a demon hunter who specialized in sigils, he might also cause some mental shakes to the strong, but Qiu Wenjian was only able to create the illusion so easily with the help of the convenience of the fourth bomb.

"Hello? You guys——"

Troubles always come one after another.

Although Qiu Wenjian used a very peaceful way to get these troublemakers to leave, he still inevitably attracted the attention of the guards.

It would have been fine if they were regulars, but these strangers were causing trouble at the city gate on their first day here, and they were a strange combination of humans and monsters. The guards still took Rimuru and the others away.

Having said that, since there was no substantial harm, they only asked a few simple questions. Qiu Wenjian replied that these monsters were friends he knew, and they had been undergoing tedious procedures such as entry inspection and registration in the guard room for a period of time.

"My name is Qiu Liangqiu Ying, and this year..."

It was just a similar identity introduction and explanation. Qiu Wenjian was also an illegal resident, but he was used to all the nonsense and could just talk without any hesitation.

About two hours passed.

"Okay! That's almost the end of the recording. Thanks for your help! But you can't—"

boom----!

The soldier was interrupted mid-sentence when the door flung open and a soldier rushed in.

"No, it's bad! There's a dragon in the mine. Several miners are injured—"

"What! Did you take care of Kailong?"

"No problem! The expeditionary force has already gone over to deal with it. However, some people have been seriously injured. Perhaps some countries are preparing for war, and the medicine vendors are out of stock, and the city's inventory can't supply..."

"Where's the healer?"

"They... went to mine for magic ore. They're heading deeper into the mines now, right? All the healers stationed at the station went with them, leaving only the apprentices behind!"

"Such a thing actually happens!"

It seems like something big has happened.

"Qiuqiu, what should we do? Should we help them?"

"Don't you want to sell medicine? Then there's no need for me to go out for treatment."

Recovery potion, right? Rimuru has it, how should I put it?

If possible, Rimuru hoped to leave a good impression on them. As the saying goes, "Good deeds are rewarded." Perhaps helping them would lead to something good.

"Hey, sir, sir!"

"What's up? I'm busy right now. The investigation is over, but I can't let you go yet. We have to wait until the review results are confirmed. You guys wait in this room for now!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's about this!"

Rimuru took out the recovery potion from his arms (though it looked like he was spitting it out with a "Pfft!").

"...? What, what is this?"

"Restoration medicine. You can drink it! You can apply it on your skin! It's great stuff!"

"Huh? How come a slime like you has recovery potions? Could it be that you're actually this Hilichook's mobile package?"

"It's my friend. I've said it several times. We have an equal relationship."

Qiu Wenjian was also helpless. Why did these people always think that Rimuru was their pet...

"I heard there are six injured... Is this medicine okay?"

The young soldier who came to report looked at Rimuru and Qiu Wenjian suspiciously.

The monsters giving medicine as gifts... doesn't seem very reliable.

"Tsk! Stay here and don't run! Hey, let's go!"

"Huh? But, Captain... this guy is a monster!"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Let's go, lead the way quickly."

As he spoke, he grabbed the six healing potions Rimuru had vomited out, and the bearded soldier, known as the captain, rushed out of the room. Although he had been stern in his words, telling them not to leave, his demeanor had actually softened considerably.

Rimuru felt happy because he was trusted, but Qiu Wenjian felt a little troubled by such trivial matters.
