Otherwise why would she be so careful.
It’s because theocracy cannot be used.
Then, without using the divine power, her strength is not enough to suppress all the strong people in this world. Even if the opponents join forces to attack her, she may be beaten to death, so she hides and accumulates strength.
Xiaobai and Rimuru are both teammates she is optimistic about.
Rimuru seems to have some divinity, and he carries the world's strongest dragon species with him as a charger. If this guy grows up, he will definitely be able to help her share some of the pressure if a war breaks out in the future.
"Speaking of which, Rimuru seemed to be a little worried after he came back. Could it be that something happened in Dowagun that I didn't notice?" Xiao Si used Akasha to check Rimuru's past records, and then found the clue she cared about in the records of that night in the nightclub. It said that Rimuru knew his destiny through the divination of the elves. So that's it, the slime is in love.
And this was someone she had never met before. She tried to investigate the information of this "destined person" and found a name.
Izawa Shizue.
She is a beauty.
And still——
A brave man's companion?
"Tsk, I thought he was a hero."
When she investigated the information about the hero before, this name was not included. When she saw the word "hero" just now, she thought she had missed it before.
"The person of destiny? Ha, Rimuru probably doesn't know that tragedy is waiting for him. His body can't hold on any longer, and it's written on the Akasha that she doesn't have much time left to live. With Rimuru's current ability, there's no way to save this girl. Do you want to do Rimuru a favor?"
The "disease" that Shizue Izawa has may be a terminal illness for other people, but for her, it is not even a small problem. It is just that the elves in her body are not obedient. It is too easy to cure it.
But she had no reason to save the girl.
Rimuru's destined person. If Rimuru really likes this girl, then she doesn't mind helping. But if this destined person is not what she said, and Rimuru doesn't value this person that much, then it's not worth helping.
Although her relationship with the hero is deep.
But it's still worthless.
Because she never thought about gaining the friendship of the hero. Since Xiaobai is going to become the Demon King, and the relationship between humans and monsters is not that good, then her position is naturally on the side of the monsters.
So what she had been thinking about before was how to lure out the hero and then capture him for research, rather than making friends with the hero and asking him to assist in her research experiments.
Akasha's records show that Jingze Shizue is heading towards the Jura Forest.
[Chapter 33: Shizue Izawa]
As expected, one day, Rimuru returned from a hunting trip with a group of humans. The girl with straight black hair in the crowd was Izawa Shizue. The group quickly integrated into the place under Rimuru's warm hospitality. Anyone who was a little careful could notice Rimuru's unnatural attitude towards Izawa Shizue.
Could it be that Rimuru really fell in love with Izawa Shizue at first sight? Looking at the two people talking over there, Xiao Si tilted his head and thought about it, and decided to tell Rimuru about his discovery. Humph, tell this in advance.
She would tell that guy something, and then when he was at a loss, she would make a brilliant appearance. Rimuru would definitely be moved beyond words, and then she would be able to make this slime owe her a huge favor.
As expected of me, so smart!
"Mr. Rimuru, you are Japanese, right?"
At this time, Izawa Shizue was talking to Rimuru about their past lives, because when they met before, Rimuru had used suspicious lines like "I'm not a bad slime" to gain the trust of this group of people. This was the line of the slime protagonist in a game in their past lives, and Izawa Shizue had heard it from her students. Because time travelers are not necessarily summoned in the same era, these things did not exist when Izawa Shizue was summoned.
However, Izawa Shizue has an identity, being a teacher in the human kingdom, taking care of those humans who were summoned to this world like her. So she just happened to know this line and guessed the truth that Rimuru might be from another world like herself.
Rimuru was about to answer yes, but his body paused unnaturally. He heard what Xiao Si said, and when he looked at Izawa Shizue, his mood had changed a little. He could no longer be happy about meeting the "destined person" as before, because he knew the bad news about Izawa Shizue. The girl was seriously ill and could not be cured by ordinary means. It was equivalent to a terminal illness. Although she looked young, her life span was not long.
(The spirit in the body is running wild? All we need to do is take the spirit out of Miss Jing's body, right?)
"Analysis complete. The spirit in Jingze Shizue's body maintains a symbiotic relationship with her. If the two are forcibly separated, she will lose the power of the fire spirit and her life will end due to the loss of power."
The Great Sage is worthy of being a Great Sage. After scanning and analyzing, he came to the correct conclusion and told Rimuru that there is currently no way to save the girl. Rimuru now does not have the ability to solve this problem. Even if he can forcibly separate Shizue Izawa from the spirit in her body and prevent the spirit from running wild, after Shizue Izawa lost the protection of the fire spirit, her life as a human being has come to an end.
Or they will go out of control and destroy themselves.
Or the end of life.
There is no salvation.
The conclusion Rimuru came to here was extremely desperate. He asked the Great Sage to analyze other possibilities, but the Great Sage gave him a method that was impossible to do. That was to find an elf of the same level as the one in Shizue Izawa's body, and let that elf sign the same contract with Shizue Izawa to maintain her life. In this way, after separating the fire elf, she could continue to survive.
(But where can I find the right elf? And time is running out.)
“Rimuru?”
Izawa Shizue looked at Rimuru who suddenly fell silent, wondering if she had said something wrong. Could it be that Rimuru was not from another world, but she just happened to have heard this line somewhere, did she misunderstand?
"Miss Jing, I will save you!"
Rimuru said this to Miss Shizuka who looked at a loss, then he jumped and ran to find Xiao Si. If the great sage was of no use, then he could find an angel. Didn't God say that he could give people eternal life? Wasn't it too late for him to join the cult now? Of course, the actual situation was that Rimuru felt that Xiao Si told him about this because he had a way to save Miss Shizuka, otherwise the bad-tempered angel would probably pretend not to see it.
Miss Jing looked at Rimuru's anxious back. What he said just now... So her story was exposed? She just smiled and watched Rimuru leave. She didn't hold much hope for what Rimuru had just said. She knew her situation very well. The reason why she came to the Jura Forest this time was because the spirit in her body seemed to feel the breath of the demon king who summoned her. In order to save the same child as her, she followed the guidance of the spirit and wanted to find the master of this spirit, the demon king.
Miss Jing had no confidence in Rimuru's words. Rimuru found Xiao Si sitting on a tree with a skewer in his hand, frowning and thinking about how to start the conversation. After all, if he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have no way to ask this bad-tempered angel for help. This guy was not the kind of person who was willing to help strangers. Although his race was an angel, his personality seemed more like a devil. What should he say at this time?
"Rimuru, you're here to beg me, right?"
When Rimuru heard Xiao Si's voice, he raised his head with some trepidation. This was bad. This angel with a bad temper might have told him the truth just to wait for this moment. He didn't know how he would be treated next. While holding this fear, Rimuru also felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. Because Xiao Si's attitude convinced him that this mysterious angel did have a way to save Miss Jing.
"Can you tell me what I should do to save Miss Jing? I will agree to any request." Rimuru sighed in his heart and threw all his chips out at once, but this was not the time to engage in intrigue, not to mention that he had no confidence that he could deceive this mysterious angel.
Xiao Si smiled and said, "Smart judgment."
Rimuru squinted his eyes. Is this guy a little strange recently?
Sometimes this guy seems to be able to know what he is thinking.
"You're talking about this. This is the unique skill of the Dwarf King Gazel [Dictator]. It's just a mind-reading skill. It's not a big deal." Xiao Si casually explained her ability.
Rimuru stepped back a distance in shock.
No, no, no, this is a very important skill! But it turns out that the Dwarf King's unique skill is mind reading. No wonder the King saw through the truth of the incident in the Judgment Hall before.
However, can unique skills be acquired by others? How can such a thing be done? Although it is true that his [Predator] can acquire the opponent's skills by preying, the Dwarf King is still alive and well, which means that Xiao Si did not use this method.
Is there a skill that can copy skills?
This is too foul!
[Chapter 34: Two Methods]
Xiao Si floated from the branch to the ground.
"There are indeed ways to save Miss Shizuka, and there are quite a few. But Rimuru, are you really determined to ask for my help for the sake of the girl you just met? It's not easy to repay the favor you owe me."
"..."
Rimuru nodded wordlessly.
Although it was only the first time they met, he wanted to save Miss Jing if possible. It was not because of the ambiguous relationship between them as destined people, but because he did not want to see someone who could have been saved die here because of him. If he could save Miss Jing just by owing her a favor, it would be a very worthwhile deal in his opinion. He did not think that debts of favor were easy, but compared to a life, even the heaviest debt of favor should be worth it.
When Xiao Si saw Rimuru's thoughts, she was speechless. This guy was a good person even in the peaceful modern times. However, if Rimuru did not have this kind of personality, she would not want to do this business with Rimuru. If Rimuru's thought just now was a frivolous thought that human relationships were not important, then Xiao Si would probably consider how to replace Rimuru now, because he is not suitable to be the king of the Monster Kingdom.
It is Xiao Si who has the final say on whether it is suitable or not.
There is no reason.
Simply because she is strong enough.
"Okay, then I will tell you how to save the girl. The simplest way is to make her my follower. In this way, even if the spirit in her body is separated, she will remain young because of my power, and her strength will not be weaker than it is now."
Rimuru heard this idea.
Thinking that this might be similar to his relationship with Rigurd and the others, the magic power of Rigurd and the others is now bound to him, and they can be said to be his followers.
"No, it's not what you think. Let me make it clear to you first. If you become my follower, no matter what your original personal wishes are, you will gradually become my believer. This is an unchangeable result. Even I can't do anything about this change."
Xiao Si doesn't care about Shizue Izawa, so there is no need to hide this kind of thing. After all, if Rimuru finds out that Shizue Izawa has become her believer and turns against her, then this matter will be ruined. What she wants is Rimuru's favor, and she doesn't take Shizue Izawa seriously.
Rimuru shuddered.
It turns out that there is a risk of being brainwashed after joining a religion?!
Then he still didn't join the religion.
However, although the consequences sound serious, if you think about it carefully, joining the sect is not a loss. After all, you can easily gain power, and Miss Jing doesn't seem to have many choices in her current situation.
But he really didn't want Miss Jing to be brainwashed into a believer, so he asked about other methods: "Is there any other way? I would also like to refer to it."
Xiao Si didn't care.
It's better to say that this is the result she wants. She is actually not very happy to let Jingze Jingjiang become her follower. Unlike ordinary believers, the believers and her are only in a one-sided contractual relationship, which has no effect on her power, and even the believers' power can be used by her. But followers are different. Followers, like shadow guards, require her to allocate a part of her magic limit.
But Izawa Shizue is just an ordinary human. Although she is a summoned one, she does not have the potential to be a hero. She is just a half-baked one. To be her follower, one must at least be a demon king or a hero. Who would want to waste the upper limit of magic power on such a half-baked one?
Rimuru didn't know what he had missed. If Izawa Shizue became Koji's follower, she would become a hero and have a lot of room for development. This bad-tempered angel concealed this fact and only mentioned the powerful side effects. However, the benefits of the follower were just mentioned in a casual sentence.
"Another way is that you use the Predator on her and eat her. Then I will make a healthy body and transfer her soul to the new body. In this way, she will turn back into an ordinary human, and the problems of lifespan and spirit rampage will be solved."
Human body refining.
Taboos in alchemical magic.
But it wasn't too difficult for her.
Human Alchemy, Philosopher's Stone, and Golden Apple are the three forbidden areas in alchemy magic. Human Alchemy symbolizes the reversal of life and death, Philosopher's Stone symbolizes infinite power, and Golden Apple symbolizes omniscience and omnipotence. Currently, Xiao Si's alchemy magic has mastered the first two areas, and only Golden Apple has not yet been mastered.
have to.
Rimuru thought this method was good.
However, the only flaw is that she has lost the power of the elves. He doesn't know whether Miss Jing can accept the loss of power. He decides it is better to ask Miss Jing's opinion. After talking to Xiao Si, he returns to Miss Jing's location, calls her out from her fellow adventurers, and then talks in a quiet place.
Rimuru told Miss Shizuka the two methods, and when he was waiting for her answer, he saw that Miss Shizuka looked a little excited. Was she excited because she was saved? No, it didn't seem like that. When he left, he saw Miss Shizuka's indifferent smile. Miss Shizuka's emotions were due to something else. Speaking of which, it seemed that there was a child with Miss Shizuka who was his destined person.
Could it be...
Are those children the same as Miss Jing?
"Rimuru, I want to ask you to do me a favor. For this, I can agree to all your requests." After Izawa Shizue calmed down, she said to Rimuru very seriously. The only thing she couldn't let go of now was her students.
Rimuru could probably guess what Miss Jing's request was. He said helplessly, "Xiao Si will definitely not agree to it. To her, my value may have been squeezed out because of this matter."
"Then...can I meet her?"
Shizue Izawa naturally would not give up so easily. After all, even if she found the demon king, there was no guarantee that her students could be saved. However, the person that Rimuru mentioned could definitely save her students because he could create a healthy body.
"Of course, after all, her presence is required for the treatment. But Miss Jing, have you decided which treatment plan you want to choose?" Rimuru did not refuse Miss Jing's request, but he knew very well in his heart that Xiao Si would definitely not agree at that time.
Because that's not a good angel.
When Jingze Shizue heard Rimuru's question, she just smiled and said, "In fact, the person you mentioned may have wanted me to choose the second method from the beginning, otherwise she would not have said that to you, Rimuru."
Specifically pointing out that the side effects of the first method are very serious, and then providing a second method with almost no side effects, is a very simple and effective tactic.
In this situation.
Normal people would choose the second option.
However, this is what the people who proposed these two methods want to see. But even if they know this, the people who make the choice actually have no second choice.
[Chapter 35: Man of Destiny]
Rimuru brought Izawa Shizue to Koji, and Izawa Shizue explained her purpose, hoping that Koji could help her save her students. Her students were summoned from another world like her, but they did not become heroes, and the huge amount of magic accumulated in their bodies became a bomb that threatened their lives. Izawa Shizue survived because someone gave her a powerful spirit to make a contract, but her students did not have such luck. If they could not get treatment, her students would not have many days left to live.
A group of innocent children, really sympathetic.
"I reject."
Xiao Si listened to Miss Jing's request with an expressionless face and ruthlessly rejected Miss Jing's request.
"I knew it......"
Rimuru muttered.
Although Miss Jing's students are very sympathetic and he also wants to do something for Miss Jing's students, this angel is definitely not sympathetic.
"If you know that, why did you let her beg me? And they are your destined ones, right? If I save everyone, how can they and you be considered the destined ones?" Although Xiao Si didn't know exactly what Rimuru's destined ones were, because she didn't have the clairvoyance to see through the future. But through past records, she knew that a very strong hero would appear among the group of children, and he would control the power of time.
If I'm not mistaken, he should be a brave man who traveled back to the past from the future timeline.
But she and Xiaobai should not exist in that timeline, because they are not from this world. Travelers like Rimuru and Izawa Shizue still belong to the same "system". Although it is a different world, it is in the same dimension. But she and Xiaobai are from another dimension. Even though the two dimensions are very close, and powerful gods can even travel between the two different dimensions, the hero's time ability is not enough to interfere with her.
From this we can infer.
That hero is indeed related to Rimuru.
According to this guy's character, if Shizue Izawa entrusted the matters of those children to him before her death, he would definitely try his best to fulfill the last wish of Shizue Izawa, which means that this guy is likely to cultivate a powerful hero in the future.
This is an important research subject.
Therefore, it would be better to let Rimuru deal with the children's affairs. After all, they can still hold on for a while, so he can see how the situation develops first.
Rimuru asked in confusion: "How did you know this, Xiao Si? Even if you can read minds, you can't know that those children are also my destined ones. After all, I haven't thought about this."
