It doesn't matter what the lord is.

If you listen carefully, the slime's voice is quite neutral, and you can't tell whether it is male or female. Its age is a bit like that of a child. It doesn't have obvious vocal organs, and it seems to transmit the sound directly to my brain. I picked it up and rolled it in my hand, and the slime immediately protested:

“Stop it! Bijiji… You are playing me for fun. Are you planning to trample my last bit of self-esteem under your feet? Bijijiji… After I truly become a weapon of the Age of Gods…”

Slime's voice suddenly stopped.

But the name [Weapons of the Age of Gods] has already appeared clearly in my mind.

I held the slime in front of my eyes and looked at it with a smile.

The slime whistled.

I said slowly:

"Xiao Wu, I think I told you before, right? If you try to escape, I will do something cruel to you. If you don't want to become an ingredient, don't hide anything from me. Look into my eyes, aren't we 'friends'?"

The slime jumped up:

“Bij! Who wants to be friends with a jerk like you? You didn’t even consider me a friend when you used me as bait! When I let you hang on a tree and swing, I was so scared that you almost melted, and you were still laughing in the bushes. I remember it clearly!”

10. Things that history will not record

I took a step back, and the slime that had just jumped up in anger fell vertically to the ground, and once again turned into a pool of slime with a cry of "ouch", and then the slime slowly gathered around the core and returned to its original appearance. I sat in front of him and said:

"You can't say that. I gave you some benefits when I asked you to be the bait. Didn't you eat most of the demons killed by Alayya in the end? Otherwise, how could you become like this? You were like a dog and pulled my trouser legs to be the bait, but now you turn your face and disown me in the blink of an eye. Are you so ruthless?"

The slime's momentum suddenly weakened and he stopped talking.

I continued:

"And there's something wrong with your idea. According to normal thinking, I don't ask you to be like other slimes that can change into whatever they eat. We are in the demon tribe, and you have eaten at least two sixth-level demons and one seventh-level demon. There are countless other demons of all sizes, and what's the result? You evolved into this bear-like appearance?"

Slime argued:

"This king is a late stage ..."

I interrupted it mercilessly:

"What do you mean by late stage? At your rate of evolution, even if you eat up all the demons in the west, I don't think it will be of much use to me. I advise you to tell me what you know, otherwise I will consider selling you as a rare item. It would be a bit of a waste to eat you, but many people should like you as a specimen."

Slime was shocked and said:

“Beep! How, how can you do this!!”

I didn't say anything, just looked at it silently. After a while, the slime said dejectedly:

"Well... Actually, I don't really know. I can only vaguely see some fragments from a long, long time ago when I was just born. A group of guys with halos on their heads and wings behind them were fighting with a group of weird-looking creatures. Later, I opened my mouth wide and suffocated those weird-looking creatures. Ah~ that scene~ it feels good just thinking about it!! Later, those guys with halos on their heads said that I was a weapon they developed, specifically to deal with those weird-looking guys. At the end, one of the women with halos stabbed the scepter in her hand into my body and said, 'But you are no longer needed now. Thank you for your contribution. Goodbye, [Weapon of the Age of Gods].', and then there was nothing."

I frowned.

"The guy with the halo on his head?"

Slime nodded and said aggrievedly:

"Beep! Yes."

Wearing a halo on the head and wings on the back, that is the mark of the old gods. One of the three upper races, living in the upper world instead of the human world. It is said that this race has a close connection with humans and is also the object of human prayer.

As for those strange creatures...

I looked at the slime and said:

"No wonder the demons regard you as a public enemy. They see you as the biggest threat. Legend has it that the separation of the upper world and the human world was caused by the war between the old gods and the demons. Afterwards, the two worlds were separated, and the demons, who were originally a superior race, were beaten to an average level. If what you saw is true, then you must be a weapon prepared by the old gods. You devoured too many demons and left them with psychological trauma."

Slime hummed:

"What does it have to do with me? I only have a few memories, and I didn't do those things. I'm just a mutated slime, I'm not that powerful."

I continued:

"'Reversion'... should I say that? Although slimes can devour other demons to increase their strength, their upper limit is very low. Although you are no different from a loser now, your upper limit is much higher than that of ordinary slimes. If you are really provided with a lot of demons to eat, you may eventually grow to an extremely terrifying level. Born by chance, you have inherited part of the bloodline of the [Age of Gods Weapons], and naturally inherited part of their memories. If you are allowed to keep eating, perhaps you can really become a being worthy of this name."

The slime puffed out his chest... no, to be more precise, his belly, and said proudly:

"It's good that you understand. Young man, you raised me, and I will definitely not let you down..."

I lifted it up by its head, weighed it and estimated it was only about four pounds, and immediately looked at it with disdain:

"Are you kidding me? With your growth rate, I can't afford to support you even if I sell all my money. And even if you become stronger, what's the use? From your memory, you have offended the demons to death. Even those brainless low-level demons know to kill you first when they are born. This is the instinct flowing in their blood. Not to mention those high-level demons. If you eat so much in one breath, they will always react. When all kinds of 14th and 15th level demon bosses run to Yuxi City, I will protect you with my head? Besides, from your memory, it is estimated that the old gods don't want you anymore. Tell me yourself, you have failed so badly in being a slime. What's the use of you?"

Slime was stunned.

Just when I thought it was going to stand up and retort, it spread itself in my hands and started crying.

Tiny globs of slime dripped from its body and pattered onto my arms.

“Beep! This king! This king… must be useful…”

This is too embarrassing.

I had no choice but to put it on the ground, stroke its shiny head, and say:

"Come on, stop crying. Tell me, what else do you know?"

Slime raised his head and thought for a long time before saying:

"I still remember a vague memory. It seems that when I was just born as the [Weapon of the Age of Gods], I couldn't open my eyes, and it was dark all around me. A deep male voice said, 'The new [Ceremony of Choosing Gods] is about to begin, and the matter of the [Weapon of the Age of Gods] can be put aside for now.' He also said, 'Let them go this time.' I tried hard to open my eyes, and saw a row of girls with bare backs. They turned their backs to me, motionless, like dead people; their backs were tattooed with a very complex pattern, with wings, halos, wings, clouds and sea, and stars and suns... The strange thing is that each of them looked like a human, without halos or wings. It was in stark contrast to the few people standing next to them. But I probably didn't have much strength at that time, and the picture only appeared for a short moment before it went dark again."

I frowned.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? I'm telling you, you don't even have eyes, so how can you tell whether to open your eyes or not? Besides, as for the God Selection Ceremony, the human woman, and the kind of decorations you mentioned, when I was in Lingyun City, I read a lot of official and unofficial history when I had nothing to do, but there has never been any book that recorded even a single word about it?"

The slime bounced twice on the ground and said:

"I couldn't have seen it wrong! That scene was truly terrifying!"

I patted its head:

"Alright, alright. Even if there really was one, it was before the final battle between the old gods and the demons, thousands of years ago. It's probably gone by now."

The slime shrank back, as if recalling that scene still left a psychological shadow on it.

11. The mysterious assassin became the last line of defense in the east

The slime fell silent, and I also fell into autism.

I thought my pet, which was just a mutated slime, suddenly became a weapon created by the old gods. I couldn't describe this feeling as good. And I always felt that it was a bit dangerous. If I kept this guy, there might be some troubles that I couldn't solve.

But seeing how pitiful it looked, I was too embarrassed to find a trash can to throw it away, so I said:

"You are still a little short of reaching the third level. All the demons raised here are below the third level. If I feed you more, you probably won't grow much. From now on, at the end of every month, I will take you to the demon territory and secretly get some stronger demons to feed you. I can't help you with more."

Slime immediately regained his cheerful look and said proudly:

"Oh!! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!!"

As he said that, the fat body immediately ran over and hugged my legs and kept rubbing against them. I kicked it twice and shook it off, then continued:

"But you should understand that what I hate most is trouble. What you told me today, it's best not to tell anyone else, just keep it to yourself. And the fact that you can talk, try not to let anyone else know about it except me. Remember, you are just a slime of a different color."

This time, the slime nodded obediently.

As soon as I went out, I found Hantu standing at the door with a pickaxe, looking at me nervously.

I asked:

"what happened?"

Khantu replied nervously:

"No, I just saw that you didn't come out, and I was worried that something might happen. That unique slime has been very manic recently, and I'm worried that it might harm you."

I patted Hantu on the shoulder and said:

"It's nothing. Just feed it more vegetables in the future. It will reduce internal heat."

I looked around at the other demons I raised, and after making sure everything was normal, I went back to the city lord's mansion to sleep. I have to say that after Fang Shisan came, the problems in the city were further solved, and there were fewer things I had to worry about. The only thing that worried me was that the battles on the front line often required Alayya's support. Every morning, I got up from the empty bed alone, touched my empty stomach, and had to cook and eat by myself.

Let’s find a cook when we have time.

Speaking of which, I was planning to find a singer or dancer some time ago. After all, when I was a young master in Lingyun City, I could often listen to music and watch dances. Although I am free now, the entertainment is not as good as before. Instead, I feel like I have nothing to do every day.

However, this idea was rejected by He Yue as soon as it was proposed.

The reason is simple, the budget is not enough. He Yue, who is in charge of the wallet, told me confidently that "there is no budget for this year". I knew he was lying but I was too embarrassed to refute him. Female actors are much more valuable than male actors. The reason why He Yue asked for 10,000 gold coins was a sensation because the outside world said he was a man. If it was a girl, this transaction price would not be unprecedented.

After all, there are only a few lords who work hard to govern the country. There are indeed many who ruin their family business like Lord Tiancheng. Ten thousand gold coins may seem like a lot to ordinary people, but what those brothers are most worried about is that they have no place to spend money or enjoy themselves. Ten thousand gold coins, right? Okay, buy it! Today I want to taste what it feels like to be a woman with ten thousand gold coins. There are definitely many people with this mentality.

In short, He Yue, who has strong management ability, clearly said no to my "unreasonable wishes". But he also made a compromise, which was that she could sing to me whatever I wanted to hear.

But how many men go to brothels to really listen to opera? ? Aren’t they all there to enjoy the wonderful feeling of having a soft and tender girl in their arms and touching her skin? ? So when He Yue was singing, I also hinted at him crazily, but He Yue turned a blind eye. How can this be okay? ?

Besides, what was being sung? It was all "I am a small city lord. I love to work. I get up at six o'clock every day. I am still working in the middle of the night." It was a great insult to my hearing.

He Yue sang for me for two days, and then I sent her away to do whatever she needed to do.

After communicating with Bai Huang last time, she seemed to be in a much better mood.

I don’t know if Bai Huang is born with an optimistic personality, but in any case, he looks much better than before.

I don't know if Bai Huang is born with such an optimistic personality. When communicating with her, I feel that she seems to have completely gotten rid of her sadness and has returned to being the lively and quick-talking Xiao Huang. But when communicating with her, I also feel that she seems to be wearing a mask, hiding the things she doesn't want to tell you and the emotions she doesn't want to show. Every time at this time, I have to sigh that the education of wealthy families is indeed different. Before teaching them to find their true selves, they first teach them to deal with their emotions.

I didn't force it. To be honest, my relationship with Bai Huang has never been sublimated. Her coming to Yuxi City was arranged by her brother, and it was normal for her not to continue talking to me about this matter.

Heji would occasionally report to me some trivial matters about Bai Huang.

For example, Bai Huang is not very happy, and she still can't sleep every night, etc. Heji will convey these messages to me through some hints.

I asked him again, I said you don't look like an ordinary warrior, you look like a handsome man from an aristocratic family, so why are you following Bai Huang as a guard?

Heji didn't talk about the past, but he confessed to me openly:

"Because I like Lord Bai Huang."

He is a straightforward brother. But considering that he has been following Bai Huang for so many years and Bai Huang has not shown any appreciation for him, I think he is probably dead. But I can't tell him this, I can only pat him on the shoulder and say, "Brother, work hard."

At the end of November and the beginning of December, Fang Shisan had a great advantage on the front line, attacking the Trapped Demon City fiercely, and at the same time, he launched a surprise attack on the Rivet City, and almost captured this powerful main city. However, at the last moment, a problem that no one expected occurred. That night, an assassin single-handedly tried to assassinate Fang Shisan, but was stopped by Alaiya; but after the fight, the assassin still left and disappeared.

When this news reached Yuxi City, I frowned and found it hard to understand for a while. The reason was that no matter my intelligence, He Yue's intelligence or Fang Shisan's own intelligence, there was no information about this assassin. Although he was in Lineng's city, he didn't seem to be from Lineng.

The fighting on the front line was dragged down once again.

Fang Shisan is still in charge of the front line, while Alayya and Felita have been transferred back to Yuxi City and told us the details of what happened.

12. Mysterious Assassin X

This meeting was more solemn than the last one, mainly because two participants - Alayya and Fileta - looked a little depressed.

Fileta's hand kept stroking the staff [Rock Skull], trying to find some sense of security from it.

She gave us a rough account of what had happened.

Some time ago, in order to send troops to support Fang Yuan and realize the plan of "attacking Tianxing City from the north and south", the army that was originally fighting against Li Neng was transferred to the north. This move was also interpreted by Li Neng as Yuxi City "running away because it couldn't win." So when Fang Shisan led his army to attack Li Neng's fiefdom, Li Neng jumped as before and said arrogantly on the city wall:

"Those able-bodied men couldn't conquer my land before, and now a blind man like you can do it? Go back and tell Lid that I spared his life because we are brothers. Now Yuxi City has been kicked off the map of Yunyang Territory, and he is no longer my fourth brother. If he jumps in front of me again, I will beat him to death."

As a result, he was defeated by Fang Shisan who said nothing.

I won't go into details about how strong Fang Shisan is. In the past, Fang Shisan didn't have many talented people under his command, so he could lead hundreds of people to cause trouble for Yuxi City. We relied on Alayya and Felita to barely defend the city. Although Fang Shisan's army was reorganized after the capture of Tianxing City, and its combat effectiveness was much worse than before, but with the help of Alayya and Felita, she still showed extremely strong dominance on the battlefield, and slapped Li Neng in the face with facts.

At the peak of his power, Li Neng personally sent an envoy to negotiate with Fang Shisan, hoping to save the city by paying money and grain. The envoy stood in front of Fang Shisan and begged him, using such humble words that he could almost be called a licking man.

But Fang Shisan ruthlessly rejected his request for peace.

"I know that peace talks are a good option for both sides now. But I once promised Lid that I would take down the five cities and hand them over to him, and I will definitely find a way to do it."

But since then, Fang Shisan's attacks have been hindered several times.

The barracks caught fire for no apparent reason, soldiers often had diarrhea, the plan of the attack was seen through in advance, and many mysterious things really happened around Fang Shisan, and even Alayya and Felita were helpless. After constant scrutiny and making sure that there were no ghosts around, Fang Shisan adopted the method of fishing enforcement.

She first deliberately drew a sketch in the military tent, deduced various methods to conquer the Trapped Demon City, and then got up early the next day and led the army to attack Rivet City. This battle was fought beautifully, and the enemy was obviously caught off guard. The defense of Rivet City was empty and was blown to pieces by Fileta's magic [Fire Rain]. The army that came to support from the Trapped Demon City was beaten back by Fang Shisan who was well-rested.

In Fileta's words:

"If I had 30% more magic power that day and hadn't used it up so quickly, Rivet Castle would have been breached."

But of course there are not so many ifs in the world.

The fifth-level magician Felita still failed to break the city alone, but she still made a lot of money in this battle. The wall of the main city, Rivet City, collapsed, and the main force was defeated by Fang Shisan. The most important thing was that her army was directly deployed under the Rivet City, not giving the opponent any breathing space. Anyone could see that when Felita's magic power slowly recovered, the next siege would be the time to raise the white flag and surrender.

But that night, Fang Shisan was assassinated.

According to the description, the assassin was very professional. Not only did he wear a brand new uniform, which was a nightgown, but he also chose a dark and windy night, knocked out the sentry on guard, found Fang Shisan's tent, and stabbed him.
