In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Granstadt always manages to come up with some strange abilities, so maybe it really does have this effect.

"Let's go!"

A group of riders on frost wolves sped off into the distance, their speed so fast that only white streaks could be seen.

There is a river in the Jura Forest whose name I don't know; you can walk along it.

Walk to the end of the mountain, then head towards the mountains. At the end of the mountains lies the kingdom of the dwarves!

They crossed countless mountains along the way, and even at full speed, they still lost a lot of time.

Rimuru began to miss the convenient transportation of the world before, when it was so interconnected. He didn't have to travel like a caveman like he was now.

"I wish there was a road that went straight through."

Rimuru muttered something to himself.

The journey can only be described as eating in the wind and sleeping in the open, and Rimuru can only say one thing about the hardships they endured.

"I'm so bored!"

"Lord Rimuru, once we cross this mountain range, we'll reach the Dwarf Kingdom. Please bear with us a little longer!"

Crossing the forest is normally the shortest and safest route, but for some reason, few people take it. (Perhaps it was because of the Storm Dragon in the past.)

The goblin leading the way is named Gobuta, who has traded with the Dwarf Kingdom before. He's walking at the front of the group, showing everyone the way!

These past two days of travel have been so boring. Rimuru is so tired from all the travel that he's practically going crazy. His whole body feels weak and limp.

They were moving at full speed the whole way, with no time to appreciate the scenery along the way. They only stopped to eat and sleep.

No wonder Gransta didn't want to come along; he's a cunning fellow!

When resting at night

So, what should we talk about... to relieve boredom?

"Liguru, speaking of which, who named your brother? I've never heard of him before?"

Rimuru suddenly spoke to Riguru, who was behind him and was now Riguru's son, saying that he seemed to have heard that his brother had been given a name.

Upon hearing that Lord Rimuru was asking him a question, Riguru quickly rode his Garo at full speed to Rimuru's side.

"Lord Rimuru, my brother was indeed given a name by a passing demon."

"Demon?"

"Yes, about a few years ago, a demon called Krumit, who was under the command of the Demon King, was very optimistic about my brother's potential."

"Oh, is that so? It seems your brother is really talented."

"Of course, but I still have high hopes for Lord Rimuru!"

"Haha, is that so?"

However, let's make a note of this guy, [Krumit], for now.

Okay, let's move on to the next topic.

"Ranga, I'm supposed to be your father's killer, aren't I? Don't you really care about that?"

Rimuru then addressed Ranga, who was seated below him.

"Lord Rimuru, what is the mere hatred for killing my father? How could I possibly harbor any resentment towards Lord Granstas or you?"

"Moreover, it is you two gentlemen who have given us new life; we will be eternally grateful and are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives!"

Lan Ya answered directly, without the slightest hesitation.

Huh! A mere feud for killing one's father?

Monsters really have a straightforward way of thinking. Rimuru silently mourned for the former leader of the Garo.

Rimuru then gave a perfunctory response and moved on from the topic.

Then Rimuru turned his gaze to Gobta, who was staring at the grilled meat and drooling.

Seeing Gobuta like this, the word "unreliable" suddenly popped into my mind.

"Gobuta, the barbecue is almost done, you don't need to keep an eye on it. You've been to the dwarf country before, right? We're arriving tomorrow. Tell me, what's it like?"

Gobuta wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth sheepishly and looked at Lord Rimuru.

"How is it?"

"Oh, you mean the Dwarf Kingdom? Well, how so? This country has a history of over a thousand years, and their ruler is known as the Hero King, Gazel Valagon."

"The King of Heroes? That sounds pretty impressive. Anything else?"

Rimuru's eyes lit up.

"And also, um, all the girls over there are so pretty! Rimuru-sama, you wouldn't believe it, I saw a female demon the other day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rimuru punched him to the ground.

Rimuru was speechless.

"Look what you're saying!"

Liguru and the others looked at Gobuta, who was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, with sympathetic eyes.

that's it

It took two full days from the start.

Perhaps due to the influence of Gransta's naming, Ranga is stronger than in the original work. The journey that originally took three days only took two days.

At the foot of an unnamed mountain range lies a vast grassland.

A beautiful city transformed from a mountain cave, a natural fortress forged by nature.

Finally, they arrived at the kingdom of the dwarves.

When Rimuru first saw the dwarves, he couldn't help but marvel at how armed they were, proving that they were indeed a nation with top-notch forging technology.

"Look, there are a lot of merchants and adventurers queuing up outside! And the dwarf soldiers guarding the gate look pretty formidable!"

"Lord Rimuru, we can't afford to mess with these dwarves; their military strength..."

Riguru looked at Lord Rimuru with some concern.

"Yes, I was beaten up when I came here last time. It was only because a kind businessman rescued me."

Gobuta said with lingering fear.

"Is that so?"

Rimuru looked at Gobuta in surprise.

Ugh! Never mind, let's try what Gransta gave us! Is it really that amazing?

"Please move aside, I'm afraid this thing might be dangerous."

Rimuru told Ranga and the others to step back to a safe distance, but his worries were a bit unnecessary.

Under the curious gaze of Ranga and the goblins, Lord Rimuru took out a square, block-like object.

Rimuru carefully and slowly poured magic into the strange cube, and the cube slowly opened and emitted a blue light.

A moment later, the cube flew out of Rimuru's hand, spinning rapidly in the air, eventually forming a blue vortex half a meter high.

A small blue humanoid figure flew out of the vortex and greeted Rimuru as soon as it saw him.

"Hey, Rimuru, you guys are really slow. It took you two days to get to the Dwarf Kingdom."

"You cunning fellow..."

Rimuru, having just recovered from his shock, gritted his teeth and glared at the figure in the air.

Ranga and Goblin Kazuma were watching from the side until Lord Gransta suddenly appeared. Wasn't Lord Gransta supposed to be in the village?

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost; it was so strange. It took them a while to come to their senses after Lord Rimuru explained.

Gransta was also staring at the block in his hand, no, to be precise, it should be the [Teleport Block] permanent item.
