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

The goblin kneeling on the ground looked up at the slime in surprise.

"Please stand up and speak first! You can call me Rimuru. This slightly fierce elf next to me is my friend Gransta."

"Yes, Lord Rimuru! Thank you, Lord Gransta!"

The fact that they received a response from the two adults proved that there was still hope for their village.

Under Rimuru's gaze, the red-turbaned goblin staggered to his feet and, with a red forehead, approached Gransta and the others.

"It's like this, sirs. Recently, a group of powerful monsters attacked our village. Although we fought desperately, we still..."

At this point, sadness welled up on the goblin's face, and he continued in a low voice.

"One of my brothers also died in a battle..."

"Sigh, don't be sad, I understand..."

Rimuru stepped forward and jumped up, landing just above the goblin's shoulder, and patted the brave goblin on the shoulder in comfort.

"Rimuru-sama..."

Faced with Rimuru's sudden gentleness, the goblin let out a few soft sobs.

Gransta couldn't stand it anymore. Rimuru, you're really something. You can make even a scene like this so sentimental. He was speechless.

"So, you're saying, goblin, you want us to help you?"

But he still broke the atmosphere by speaking out.

Upon hearing Gransta state his thoughts directly, he quickly composed himself and looked directly into Gransta's icy blue, slightly cold eyes.

"You're right, Lord Gransta! I know my request is unreasonable..."

The red-turbaned goblin lowered its head in shame.

But before Gulansta could speak,

Rimuru quickly moved between them and said something as soon as he came up.

"I've agreed to your request, don't you think so, Gransta? They're all so pitiful..."

"Really? Thank you so much..."

The red-turbaned goblin expressed his gratitude excitedly, and even the goblins behind him cheered with joy.

Damn it! You just agreed to it like that? So what if you're cute?

Ha! Seeing the atmosphere around him, he didn't know how to continue.

Especially when he saw Rimuru wink at him smugly.

Gulansta said, "I can't stand this."

"Ah, Gransta, please stop shaking me, I can't take it anymore..."

"Hmph, knowing you can't feel pain, are you still going to be cheeky?"

"No...I won't do it again, ah!"

Rimuru was pitifully being kneaded in Gransta's hands.

The surrounding goblins stared wide-eyed at this scene, silently labeling Gransta as someone not to be trifled with.

...

Just as he knew from the previous plot, Rimuru still came to this goblin village.

"Village chief, we're back. I've also brought the two adults back with me."

Just then, a short, white-haired old goblin with droopy eyes walked quickly over, carrying a cane.

Gransta was afraid of this old goblin just by looking at him. If he walked any faster and tripped, Gransta might end up getting a meal.

"Ahem, quickly bring the two gentlemen inside, don't neglect them."

Rimuru and Gransta took a look around the village after entering it, and they were surprised to find that it was quite rudimentary!

There wasn't a single decent house, not even a fence, and hundreds of goblins around them were curiously eyeing Gransta and his companions.

Especially after seeing Rimuru, she showed a look of fear and apprehension.

"Huh, why do Gransta and the others seem a little afraid of me? I'm so cute, aren't I?"

Rimuru looked at Gransta and voiced his doubts.

"Heh, I don't want some slime-man to be so unaware of how to control its magic. Do you think these low-level monsters wouldn't be afraid?"

He glanced at Rimuru and said calmly, clearly still harboring some resentment about what had happened earlier.

"Gransta, you idiot, just say my name..."

Rimuru was furious.

Knowing it was his own fault, he contained the magic within his body.

Gransta must have known all along, yet he didn't tell me. How mean, what a stingy guy.

Rimuru was secretly making a fuss about Gransta in his mind.

Granstas's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Rimuru's indignant expression.

At this moment, the village chief stepped forward to thank Rimuru and his companions, and led them into what appeared to be the best house in the area.

"My lords, as you know, the monsters outside have become more active lately, which has made things difficult for us..."

"We don't know!"

Rimuru really didn't know what was going on.

"That's because our god's presence has recently disappeared, and we are no longer protected."

"Therefore, the monsters in the vicinity have begun to extend their clutches to this land, so... we would like to ask you..."

The goblin village chief then went on to say his request.

So that's how it is!

Rimuru didn't immediately agree this time; instead, he fell into deep thought.

Although he had already agreed to help them, he still needed to carefully consider the possibility of a powerful external enemy.

Making enemies for no reason is not in his nature!

What if the opposing team is too strong and they can't beat them? Wouldn't that drag Gransta down with him...?

The god they were referring to was probably the Storm Dragon Veldora, who was largely responsible for all of this.

Rimuru turned his gaze to Gransta beside him, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"Why are you looking at me? This is your own business, you can handle it yourself, I don't care."

Hearing Gransta say this, Rimuru looked at Gransta with emotion. He knew that no matter what choice he made, Gransta would support him.

Gransta seemed to be asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?" and unconsciously shifted her body to the side again.

Rimuru then turned his gaze to the village chief, but his expression turned serious.

Seeing Rimuru's increasingly serious expression, the village chief couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Village chief, if we help your village, what will we get in return? I mean, what will you give us?"

Rimuru was also very direct, saying that he would let us help, but what benefits would we get in return?

Could it be that we've made enemies? That's clearly impossible.

Gulansta, who had been laughing and chuckling to himself, had a glint of insight and a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He gave the choice to Rimuru to see how he would decide. And as expected of the future Demon Lord, he didn't disappoint.

It's important to understand that in this world, everything is determined by strength, which is incredibly cruel. Blind kindness can also harm you.

Upon hearing this, the village chief knelt down in great fear, pleading tearfully.

"Please, gentlemen, help us! I know we can't offer you anything with our limited abilities..."

As he spoke, he could almost see the disappointed expressions on Rimuru and Lord Gransta's faces.

Waited for a long time

He couldn't help but try speaking directly.

"We...we are willing to offer our loyalty, and we beg you to protect us!"

"We also swear to be forever loyal to Lord Rimuru and Lord Gransta!"

(That's exactly what I was waiting for!) Psychology x2

......

And at this moment

"Awooo~"

A wolf's howl suddenly rang out from outside.

"Ah, it's the Wolf Fang Wolf Clan!"

"Run!"

Out of their previous fear, the goblins were terrified when they heard the wolf howl.
