The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 527 If I were a girl, I would definitely marry Zun Zun
Etiquette was necessary to attend the banquet prepared by the king. Even though a strong person of Milim's level shouted loudly at the table and no one dared to say anything, the pride of the Crimson Demon Clan did not allow them to be disrespectful.

Elegant and pleasing table manners.

Both the Dwarf King and his ministers looked surprised to see Zun Zun’s actions... I don’t understand why they had that expression. Did they think that just because they were close to Milim, they would be as unrestrained and free as her? That’s too rude, isn’t it?
Rimuru was originally quite reserved. As an ordinary person in his previous life and a slime now, he had no idea about table manners. However, this guy was very smart and imitated Zun Zun's actions, which was quite effective.

The dinner was quite delicious.

Zun Zun ate happily and casually, while Rimuru, Shuna and others were a little resistant. I wonder if they were spoiled by Zun Zun's cooking skills.

After dinner they went back to their room to rest.

On the surface, today's visit ended here, but neither Zun Zun nor Rimuru chose to wash up and rest. Instead, they were invited to a garden by the Dwarf King after a while.

This should be a place to discuss private topics.

Not to mention guards, there weren't even any maids, and the one serving them was actually Druuf - the leader of the Sky-Soaring Knights seemed to be quite idle, or maybe he was highly regarded by the Dwarf King?
Just thinking.

After a while, the dwarf king came running over.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

In order to speak frankly and discuss the most important key issues between the two countries, they need such a hidden occasion with only a few people. They know that small matters should be discussed in a big meeting, and big matters in a small meeting.

Rimuru and the Dwarf King were facing each other, while Zun Zun was sitting next to them. Behind them were their respective civil servants, making Zun Zun seem a little lonely being alone.

Unlike before, the Dwarf King seemed relaxed, so they began the meeting in this not-so-tense atmosphere.

First up is Demon Lord Milim.

The last time the Dwarf King saw Milim when the Stormy Great Vortex attacked, she left before he could ask her, wasting the opportunity. Then the Demon King of the Beast Kingdom, Karion, appeared, and it has been delayed until now.

“So what’s going on with Demon King Milim?”

"actually……"

Rimuru soon told the Dwarf King about his encounter with Milim and how Zun Zun had ridden on her, receiving a look of disbelief from the other party.

Yes.

No one can believe it.

But considering the overwhelming strength that Zun Zun displayed when he was in the Storm Demon Vortex, he soon felt relieved.

"...Hmm? It tastes good."

The dwarf king tasted the wine before him.

This was a gift from Rimuru. It was a distilled liquor made using the distillation technology he learned in his previous life. It tasted much better than ordinary liquor. The downside was that this production method consumed a lot of food, so the Dwarf King had to give up the idea of learning it.

"I see. The same goes for our country's food. We have to import it from the Kingdom of Farmus and the Empire."

The dwarf king sighed slightly.

Dhruv took the opportunity to explain: "Our country's low food production rate is our only weakness. Moreover, food cannot be transported by teleportation magic like weapons and armor. In any case, it must be bought and sold by merchants. However, it is because of this that our country has become a very successful free trade city..."

"Wait a minute, food can't be transported by teleportation magic? What's going on?"

Zun Zun raised his eyebrows curiously.

The teleportation magic he learned could teleport food, equipment, or people. As long as he had enough magic power, he could even teleport a mansion in the suburbs. It shouldn't be a difficult task...

"Actually—"

Dhruv acts as the narrator.

It sounds like teleportation magic is not a panacea. Organic matter will be soaked with too much magic during teleportation and will deteriorate. The quality of items such as fur will change to some extent, and food will become inedible.

I also heard that some kingdoms tried to use this magic to transport entire troops to the enemy camp, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people.

I thought it was a good strategy.

In the end, it ended up destroying his own country.

“I didn’t expect something like this to happen…” Rimuru patted his chest with lingering fear, and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Zun Zun? You look weird.”

"Nothing, it's just that we have different understandings. In my world, teleportation magic can actually be used, and whether it's food, equipment, or people, they can all be teleported."

"...Oh, knowledge from another world!"

Rimuru clapped his hands.

"Wait, wait!" The Dwarf King stopped the conversation in surprise. He looked at Zun Zun in disbelief, "Are you a visitor from another world?!"

"what!"

Rimuru covered his mouth.

Obviously, he just realized that he had accidentally revealed Zun Zun's secret, and he gave him an apologetic look with some embarrassment.

Zun Zun shook his head indifferently.

"I came into this world by chance."

"……Yeah."

The Dwarf King did not say anything. Rather, he said that there were so many alien visitors in this world that it was not surprising at all.

"That's right!" Zun Zun clapped his hands, "Why don't I teach you the magic of teleportation?"

"……Eh?"

"Will this make things a lot easier for you?"

"Is it really possible?!" Dhruv rushed over excitedly.

Because the Dwarf Kingdom is located in a large underground cavity with no sunlight, it is difficult for them to produce food. Although they have honed their technical strength and overcome their weaknesses through trade, this is still their weakness, and food is their lifeline.

If someone takes advantage of the situation by shorting the price of grain, or intercepts them halfway, then they can only suffer the loss and be helpless.

Besides, even if the trade is circulated, there will always be losses along the way, right?
"Wait a moment, Drufu." The dwarf king pulled his minister who had lost his composure back, his majestic face expressionless, "Sir, what do you want to gain?"

At this time, he is a qualified king.

"It's just an ordinary teleportation magic. I don't care... Although I really want to say this, I actually have something I want to trouble the Dwarf King with." Zun Zun paused and said, "I want to know who can break the space of this world, or even better, introduce someone to me."

"...Huh?" X2
Rimuru and the Dwarf King were both a little surprised.

"You can't wait any longer, can you?"

"Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if there was another way that was faster?"

I can't always rely on Rimuru alone, otherwise I would be helpless if anything unexpected happened, so I thought about finding another way.

"Don't worry, it's just a casual move."

"That's not what I meant...So, Senior Brother, do you know a way?"

"Unfortunately, the Dwarf Kingdom does not have such technology." The Dwarf King shook his head regretfully, "But I wonder, if it is summoning magic, can it break through the space?"

"…You mean when summoning?"

Just like other visitors from other worlds, when they are summoned, the space channel to the other world will definitely be opened, otherwise the summoned person will not come to this world, just like Zun Zun.

"The Dwarf Kingdom does not have such technology." The Dwarf King reiterated, but quickly added: "But I can ask someone to use this summoning magic. Don't worry, this magic is not too precious."

What this means is that when others use summoning magic, as long as it is successful, the space will be broken, and Zun Zun can use this gap to return to "Su Qing".

An exciting proposal.

Whether it was the Dwarf King, Rimuru, Drufu, Shuna, or Shion, they all looked at Zun Zun, waiting for his decision.

finally--

"never mind."

Zun Zun shook his head.

Rimuru was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Why, such a good suggestion."

"It's a good suggestion, but Rimuru, have you ever thought about a problem?" Zun Zun glanced at him and said, "Summoning magic can indeed open a space channel, and I can take the opportunity to leave. But what should I do with the summoned people?"

"……what?"

He obviously hadn't thought about it.

No matter if they are foreigners or summoners, they will leave their own world when they come to this world. What if the summoned person is someone who does not want to come to this world, or what if the summoned person is a child?
"You still care about this..."

"Because I am a Crimson Demon."

Even though the Crimson Demons are all a bunch of chuunibyou, they always keep to themselves and never cause trouble for others - it was only when they introduced themselves that people felt a little uncomfortable.

In addition, Huihui is an exception.

This guy's explosion magic will cause trouble to others even if they don't want to.

"Besides, I want to be the most benevolent, kind, supreme, and powerful demon king. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

“…Is that so?”

Rimuru twitched the corner of his mouth.

He wondered if all demon kings were mentally ill. Milim was like this, Zun Zun was like this, and Karion...it was unknown for the time being.

The Dwarf King heaved a sigh of relief.

Both blessed and disappointed.

Fortunately, Zun Zun is not like other demon kings who like to cause trouble and destruction. Unfortunately, there is no way to learn Zun Zun’s teleportation magic.

"I will teach you teleportation magic."

"……May I."

"But on the other hand, the Dwarf Kingdom and Rimuru must form a united front as neighbors. I'll let Rimuru tell you the details."

Zun Zun finally chose to do a favor.

Originally, the Dwarf Kingdom was only short of food. If they could get the teleportation magic, they would take off directly, and then they would leave Rimuru and his group far behind. But Zun Zun's request was tantamount to telling the other party to take Rimuru with them when they took off.

Even if he came to a deal with Zun Zun, the Dwarf King, as his senior brother, would certainly be happy to help Rimuru, but his subjects might not.

The king is often constrained.

“I couldn’t ask for more.” The dwarf king grinned and looked at Rimuru and said, “I really envy you. In addition to Demon King Milim, Mr. Zunzun also helps you so much…”

"Yes!" Rimuru said with the same emotion: "If I were a girl, I would definitely marry Zun Zun."

"Don't do that, Shuna and Shion will think of me as an enemy!"

“Hahaha————”
The courtyard is full of a cheerful atmosphere.
