Me? A slime? A villain who destroys a nation? Fine!

Pick a few villagers and come with me to the Kingdom of Xiangfang.

Hearing Lin Ming's instructions, the old man was stunned for a long time. "Huh? Me?"

"That's right, aren't you the one who looks like the best fighter here?"

"Yes!" The old man knelt solemnly on one knee before Lin Ming, as if he had been appointed to some important responsibility.

At this moment, a rank insignia appeared above his head: [Guardian LV15].

"Wait, the level is pretty high? How come this profession suddenly appeared? Wasn't there just an old man limping in front of him?" Although Lin Ming had given him some exaggerated nutrition.

"I guarantee with my own life that I will absolutely protect the Fairy's safety!"

"Do I still need you to protect me?" Lin Ming thought to himself.

"By the way, were you a guard or something before?" Lin Ming looked at his so-called level 15 and stroked his chin as he sized him up.

"Yes, I once served in a kingdom and was drafted into the army. But not in the Kingdom of Xiangfang, but in the Kingdom of Kachiro. Later, because I was injured in the leg on the battlefield and could no longer fight, I was sent back to my hometown. But I never expected that my leg injury would allow thieves to invade this place so brazenly."

Then, the old man looked at the villagers behind him with shame.

"My son and son-in-law have disappeared without a trace, leaving me only with a granddaughter. Sometimes, seeing how grown up the children of my fellow villagers is a source of comfort," the old man said, sighing to himself.

"I won't delve into your past. What's your name again? It's not good to keep calling you 'old man'."

In response to Lin Ming's question, the old man bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes!" He then read, "My name is Mirar, and my granddaughter's name is Millie. I am ashamed to only now state my name."

"No, why have you changed your lines? You're doing a great job. Let's get ready quickly, we're setting off for the Kingdom of Xiangfang today."

"Yes! It is an immense honor to accompany the Fairy Lord!"

"Grandpa..." Millie grabbed her grandfather's sleeve and tugged at it, indicating that she wanted to go too.

"No, it's too dangerous along the way, with all sorts of contaminated species and things like that. Now that the village has lost the threat of thieves, it's actually the safest place. Granddaughter, please be patient and wait, okay?" Miral gently stroked her granddaughter's head to comfort her.

Millie just stared at Lin Ming, her eyes looking like she was about to cry.

"I can't watch this kind of thing..." Lin Ming turned his head away, sweating. His grandfather said he couldn't go, so he must have his reasons. Why should he watch it?

"See that small cart of supplies? I remember there were some weapons and equipment we looted from the thieves in there. Organize it up, and have a few villagers come with you. Also, take all those money bags; buy some nice things for the villagers. Your granddaughter's clothes are so tattered; she can't wear them anymore, can she?"

Lin Ming pointed to the black and smelly tattered clothes on Xiao Mili's body.

The old man was truly embarrassed upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, Fairy, for showing you such an embarrassing side of yourself."

The old man gratefully accepted the wealth management task entrusted to him by Lin Ming, and then carefully selected several young villagers to prepare for the journey.

Lin Ming turned to Leila beside him and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

Leila shook her head apologetically, "No, Fairy, I need to go back and organize my supplies. Thank you for rescuing my puppet. I'll take my leave now, and I hope I'll come back to see you again someday."

After saying this, the wandering merchant respectfully bowed to Lin Ming.

"Okay, remember to come back, and bring me some new stuff to sell." Lin Ming waved to Leila before walking away, and Leila gave him an OK sign.

Soon after, Lin Ming led his small group of villagers toward the Kingdom of Xiangfang.

Leila's kingdom information booklet also included a comprehensive map, which allowed Mirar, who had experience with cross-border travel, to act as Lin Ming's map guide.

The villagers even pushed small carts, carrying Lin Ming, pulling him along like a horse-drawn carriage.

Therefore, Lin Ming's splicing became much easier. He only needed to sit at the back of the cart, with the slime thread always placed at his buttocks, to automatically splice the thread without having to roll it himself.

Since the Fragrant Kingdom is the kingdom with the most complete collection of herbs, it must make preparations for distribution so that Lin Ming can reduce time costs when he comes here next time.

We'll definitely be dealing with this place frequently.

Even if Lin Ming does obtain the antidote, he will still need to continuously travel in and out of the country to obtain supplies, especially from the villagers.

Although Lin Ming's rolling was much faster than the villagers' walking journey, there must be a reason why he was taking them there.

Firstly, as humans, they are easier to enter the city than monsters like Lin Ming, which is an indispensable use for them as human villagers.

Although the Kingdom of Xiangfang is the closest kingdom to here, it still took a whole day to walk there. By the time we arrived at the kingdom's city gate, it was already dusk.

The villagers who followed Miral were also exhausted and panting heavily, leaning on their knees and breathing heavily.

But compared to Miral, he only broke out in a light sweat; the difference in their demeanor was enormous.

A young man whom Lin Ming had rescued from a bandit's den had applied to join the army after hearing that the Fairy Lord was recruiting soldiers.

The other was a rather chubby man, whom Lin Ming would call Little Fatty. Unlike the young man named Lan Nuo, he was quite overweight, a result of Lin Ming's previous poor nutrition control.

"Thank you, Fairy Master." Lanno and Little Fatty gratefully accepted Lin Ming's water pouch, their eyes filled with trust and awe for the slime.

If Lin Ming hadn't given them the water bottles and supplies, they really wouldn't have dared to reach for them. Besides, Miral wouldn't have allowed them to take the fairy's things without permission.

"I'm exhausted... Fairy, what are we here to do?"

"Are you stupid? Why ask so many questions?" Lanno patted the chubby boy beside him. "We should just be good guards for the Fairy Lord's decision."

"Okay." The chubby boy sighed in confusion.

At that moment, Miral led Lin Ming and the others to join a long queue at the city entrance. Most of the people in line were refugees dressed in tattered clothes, but the gatekeepers were not friendly to them. Those without passes were simply waved away.

Even though the refugees cried and made a scene, they obediently fled when the gatekeeper drew his sword.

When it was Lin Ming and his group's turn, Miral was indeed stopped by the two guards. Even though Miral looked very strong, the guards' intuition told them to stop him if necessary.

"Wait a minute, where are your passes?"

"Sorry, we don't have a pass."

"Without a pass, you are not allowed to enter the country; this is the rule of the Kingdom of Xiangfang," the guards said sternly.

"How can I get a pass?" Miral asked.

"You'll need to go to the registration office on the other side and bring proof of your usual residence in other countries."

"Huh?" Miral was stunned by the guard's question.

"No, I lost that thing years ago. I'm barely able to take care of myself, who cares about those few scraps of paper? I'm a guard, a soldier who fought for the kingdom, I have frontline experience!"

Miral explained angrily, but the two guards gave him a disdainful look: "Without a certificate, you can't prove anything. Please leave immediately."

Miral clenched his fists in frustration, unwilling to let the fairy lord think him useless. Enraged, Miral roared, "You two! Is this how the guards of your Xiangfang Kingdom treat foreign travelers? Especially since we are the fairy lord's attendants!"

"What is a fairy?" The guard glanced at his colleague, and after exchanging a look, the two looked back at Miral in front of them.

"Do you know who's behind me? He's the Fairy! The legendary Holy Fairy who descended to earth to save us from natural disasters and man-made calamities! Our guardian deity!" Miral brought out Lin Ming, who was hiding behind her, and held him up in front of the two guards without warning.

Even Little Fatty and Lan Ruo felt it wasn't big enough, so they cheered enthusiastically from both sides.

Lin Ming froze on the spot, not daring to move at all, and then made a cute "gurgle" sound to indicate that he was harmless.

"Alive? Isn't this a monster?" The guards exchanged glances again.

Then Lin Mingyi and the others were all arrested.
