I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

The slime splattered onto Rhys.

He paid no attention, staring intently at the stone slabs, a sharp glint in his cloudy old eyes.

He has seen a lot in his life and knows a great deal, although it is unclear how he did it.

However, he could clearly see the principle behind that stone slab.

The materials needed for slime reproduction, along with the magic power, are compressed and then transferred to the slime in a liquid form to accelerate the reproduction process.

It's an exquisite design; this is definitely not a legacy of slimes, but rather the work of a highly skilled craftsman.

If he had designed it that way back then...

Forget it.

Rhys shook his head, focusing on the present.

But how could this slime lord possibly contact the craftsman?

More precisely, even if there really is a craftsman, how would the slime lord transfer the demand to that craftsman?

How can they possibly pay the full amount of the payment?

Unlike other species, slimes have almost no language system of their own.

Even though Rhys's natural language proficiency is not low, communicating with him is still very difficult.

Even simple bartering is extremely difficult.

How was that craftsman able to complete such a complex exchange with the slime lord?

Could he be a child of nature?

Or is it telepathy?

The former has a strong affinity with nature and can communicate with most natural organisms.

The latter is not actually a single ability, but rather a collective term for multiple abilities.

Even though they are both forms of telepathy, they may have different tendencies.

For example, some telepathy is mind reading, while others are the ability to sense other people's emotions.

But regardless of the inclination.

The ability to communicate with people who speak different languages ​​is essential for it.

However, for Rhys, both possibilities are good.

At least we can communicate well even if we are of a different species.

If we can be on good terms with such a craftsman, the construction of the residential area will go much more smoothly in the future.

It can also save more people.

……

"Mr. De Rui, this fire is so warm. I wish my father were here too."

The fragments of memory in Rhys's mind resurfaced, piercing his throat and causing his expression and even his internal organs to twitch.

Yes, the fire is so warm.

It's because of your dad that I'm warm.

A wave of nausea and vomiting suddenly surged up, and he quickly took several deep breaths to barely suppress it.

Until I calmed down.

Rhys shook off his thoughts, then pointed to the board and asked the Slime Lord:

"The board, made by a craftsman? Who?"

Putting aside everything else...

I just want that craftsman to make me a board like that too.

He is confident that he can use his experience to create a highly efficient planting system.

Moreover, even if this plate is only used to compress fuel, it would be of great benefit to him.

The slime lord jumped up and down a few times on the spot.

Rhys translated a few keywords intermittently.

"Stone! Master! Transaction! Amazing! Craftsman!"

These keywords resonated with him just as intensely as the words about reproduction and rain he had just heard.

The craftsman will probably understand the pros and cons of the subsequent transactions.

I should say I made a deal with a craftsman, and that craftsman was very skilled.

But what exactly is a "stone master"?

Is someone as resilient as a rock, and very capable?

However, Rhys thought about it again and looked at the slime rain that was still falling from the sky.

He immediately realized that the slime lord in front of him probably wouldn't use metaphors or anything like that.

A master of stone?

A person made of stone who is very tall?

Stone craftsman?!

He deduced the truth step by step using logic, but the result only made him more confused.

No, the stone craftsman...

A child of nature or a telepathic stone craftsman?

Rhys had seen rock dragons soaring in the sky, towering giants as high as mountains, and rock elemental lords.

However, the stone craftsman had never even heard of the stone man before, let alone seen one.

Could it be that the stone man has undergone some strange change in this vast southern land?

The slime lord gave him no time to think and jumped a few more times.

"Transaction, you."

Upon hearing this, Rhys refocused his attention and nodded.

"it is good."

After he finished speaking, he took a...

He tossed a crown-like stone to the Slime Lord.

Upon seeing this, the slime lord quickly hopped over and caught it.

The stone instantly merged into the slime lord's body.

Then, a peaceful green light suddenly flashed from the Slime Lord's body.

On the crown on his head, patterns resembling vines gradually appeared.

Although there are other creatures in this slime swamp.

However, the slime's dominance among them can only be described as one of absolute supremacy.

And as the lord of this land.

Slimes, being a species, are unlikely to cause any serious damage to the forest.

The lord of a forest does not pose a great threat to the forest.

This perfectly matches the requirements for the Forest King class among Druids.

So, Rhys made a deal with the Slime Lord.

He used his druid abilities, but the slime lord was promoted to king of the forest.

The slime lord, on the other hand, provided him with a large amount of gel.

Rhys actually won twice in this deal.

He was a druid, and the presence of several forest kings nearby was only beneficial to him.

Seeing that the Slime Lord had completed his class change, Rhys made a request:

"Then could you please help me deliver these gels to the main road outside, near the goblin tribe?"

The Slime Lord bounced around a few times to indicate his agreement.

In an instant, the nearby trees seemed to come alive, lifting up the gelatinous mountain and carrying it away into the distance.

……

Meanwhile, inside Murphy's cave.

"Mr. Murphy, we'll be going now. Take care."

"Once we're done making this, crush it and we'll come pick it up."

After Roy bowed to Murphy, he and the others thanked him and then turned and left.

Murphy stood at the door and watched them leave safely before returning to the workshop.

boom!

Xiao Mo, who had been locked inside the stove for a long time, peeked out a little to make sure everyone was gone.

He rushed out excitedly, his body turning into a blur as he crashed directly into Murphy.

Murphy wanted to change his expression, but he couldn't.

and many more?

The speed and force seem a bit off, don't they?

This is the sprint!

Why is Xiao Mo sprinting too?!

But before it could react, it was hit squarely.

This time, however, the powerful force seemed to vanish without a trace.

After flowing into Murphy's body, it then traveled to the ground.

It vanished in an instant.

This is... the earth breathing?

Murphy, who had already prepared to roll over, looked at his feet with some surprise.

The moment Xiao Mo struck itself, that powerful force actually emanated from its magic and the air it exhaled.

It was dissolved within the body and then flowed into the ground.

While Murphy was filled with surprise and doubt.

Xiao Mo, however, had some other ideas.

It knew it had made a mistake as soon as it took off.

However, because he subconsciously used a sprint that he hadn't fully mastered, he couldn't stop at all.

That's how they ran right into Murphy.

It originally intended to run inside the furnace to reflect on its actions, but seeing that Murphy was alright, it didn't blame itself.

My mind went blank for a moment, then a flash of white light appeared.

—?! —

Does this mean... we can play like this from now on?!

Murphy, unaware of Little Murphy's thoughts, simply asked:

"Um, the sprint ability, was that something I gave you? So if I evolve, you can evolve too?"

It knew that after signing a contract with Xiao Mo, if Xiao Mo evolved, it could also evolve.

But unexpectedly, as I evolved, Xiao Mo was able to evolve as well.

Xiao Mo shook the eggshell, indicating its agreement.

"Then can you breathe the earth?"

Xiao Mo shook the eggshell.

Will it change your body shape?

Xiao Mo shook the eggshell again.

Murphy scratched his head, wondering what the principle behind this egg's shared skills was.

But as soon as he put his hand on his head, another question suddenly came to mind.

If Xiao Mo becomes stronger because of my abilities, will I also become stronger because of Xiao Mo's growth?

It briefly sensed the change in its physical strength, and then looked at the panel.

Okay, you can't step on your right foot with your left foot...

Wait, it seems like I can step on it!

The direction you step on is slightly different!

Murphy suddenly noticed that his sprint skill experience bar had grown a bit.

Does Xiao Mo share the same skill and its experience bar?!
