Slime Immortal

She walked slowly forward, stretched out her hand, and with an imperceptible tremor, her fingertips gently stroked the emblem that symbolized the glory and protection of the Arevalo family.

All the speculations and luck were settled at this moment.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The breath of the forest and flower garden rushed into my chest, carrying the warmth of the sun, a hint of lingering melancholy, and a more unique emotion.

Was it joy or luck...she herself couldn't tell.

When Alice opened her eyes again, they had returned to a deep calm.

She said nothing, but gave the unusually well-behaved undead warhorse a final pat.

Then he turned around and slowly walked through the vibrant flower garden.

Before stepping into the shadows of the forest, she paused and untied a gleaming silver family crest from the inside of her cloak.

He bent down and gently placed it next to a bunch of blooming light blue flowers.

Without looking back, the figure disappeared in the direction from which he came.

Next to the flower bed, the slime on the wall of the outpost jumped lightly, landed on the ground, and then jumped like a small marble into the shadow of the denser bushes behind the outpost.

After a while, a tall figure walked out of the shadows.

Arthur held the little slime in his hands, his empty eyes staring at the direction where Alice disappeared, speechless for a long time.

"Do you know her?" Slime's soft voice sounded in his consciousness.

"…younger sister……"

Arthur's voice was low and hoarse, also full of melancholy.

Even if the appearance and temperament have changed long ago, even if there is a boundary between life and death.

The bond derived from blood still made him recognize this heroic female knight instantly. She was the little Alice in his memory who would tug at his clothes and cry with a red nose.

However, she is not a little skeleton, but a living human being who has grown into an excellent knight who has embarked on the path of a warrior and can stand on her own.

"You really don't plan to meet her?"

Arthur was silent for a moment, fragments of broken memories flickering in the depths of his consciousness. Finally, he said in a low voice: "The Kingdom... Arevalo... does not tolerate the undead..."

"...I don't want to embarrass her."

"Is that so?" The little slime bounced in his palm, nodding like a wise philosopher.

"Sometimes it's better not to meet than to meet. When the time is right, we will naturally meet again in the future."

Arthur seemed to understand, but not quite. His Majesty's words always carried deep meaning.

He struggled to understand. "Like...a trial?"

"Yes, it's like a trial."

Alice left, leaving Arthur feeling melancholy and sitting on the stone in a depressed mood.

Fortunately, it was seen by Earl Bran who was passing by.

This chatty crow seems to have endless things to say, and he has a lot of ways to comfort people.

"Ha! Arthur, you idiot, shouldn't you be happy to know that your sister is still alive?"

"Why are you so melancholy? Why are you pretending to be so deep? Come with me to the river to pick up some stones."

"This is a sacred and solemn mission personally appointed by the great Slime Majesty. We cannot afford to be careless."

The soul fire in Arthur's eyes flickered slightly, and his empty heart was slightly filled. He stood up and nodded.

"Yes, Lord Bran."

Chapter 92 Warm Night

Compared to the melancholy of knight Arthur, another knight of the Slime Kingdom was in a much happier mood.

Arno returned to Iron Boots Town briskly with a shopping list that included basic supplies such as an astronomical telescope, magic organs, and some magic paper.

He also had to write a letter and entrust an adventurer to deliver it to Emerald City and send it to his beloved Lola before the Adventurer's Guild closed.

I greeted them, asked about their recent situation, and asked Laura to help me purchase an astronomical telescope and track the translation of the two parchments.

Arno left, and the noisy Earl Bran stayed at the outpost to comfort Arthur. The castle became much quieter without him noticing.

But it's only the superficial peace.

After all, the naughtiest little slimes can't speak.

Ever since the little slimes ate the spiritual food he fed them, they have grown rapidly, and the big ones are almost as big as him.

They are much smarter than before and have learned to stay up late. The energetic little ones gathered around Xiao Ka and started laughing and playing.

The poor little guy, tears welled up in his eyes. Even if he became an elite crocodile, he could not escape the fate of being treated as a plaything by the slime.

But not all slimes are so naughty.

The mother slime stood outside the nest guarding the little guys, while the tiny little flower stuck close to her, looking at everything curiously.

Chen Yu jumped over and patted its little head.

"It will take a few days for your observatory to be built."

Xiaohua rubbed him gently and asked curiously in a soft voice: "...Brother...on top..."

Chen Yu followed its gaze and it landed on the tree house.

"You want to go up and take a look?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then come with me."

Chen Yu said goodbye to the slime mother, squeezed Xiaohua into the gel, jumped up the stairs, and only let Xiaohua out after entering the tree house.

The gravel crystals were lit up, and the gentle light sprinkled on the entire tree house. Xiaohua jumped and spun around, looking at the room full of books, her eyes shining brightly.

"...Brother...I'm curious..."

"You want to read a book? You can't."

"Why……"

"Well... first you have to learn the common language of this world."

"Common language?" Xiaohua had bubbles of doubt in her head.

Chen Yu suddenly realized what he had overlooked.

When a monster's intelligence begins to emerge, it is the best period for enlightenment. If you miss this period, it will be much more difficult to learn a language.

After eating his spiritual food, these little guys have begun to develop intelligence and can start learning.

He almost forgot, but luckily Xiaohua reminded him.

When he has the chance in the future, he will also implement large-scale compulsory monster education in the Slime Kingdom.

As a great monster kingdom, it is not acceptable for its subjects to be uncultured and barbaric monsters.

"Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Hmm!" Xiaohua shook her gel body happily.

In its opinion, nothing can make Slime happier than the company of its mother and brother.

So Chen Yu opened the common language book "Basic Grammar and Vocabulary" and began to teach patiently.

Xiaohua squatted in his arms, listened attentively, and learned quickly.

But as night fell, sleepiness gradually came over him, and the little guy fell asleep without realizing it.

Chen Yu did not disturb them, but simply turned off the crystal light in the tree house and took a long, unforgettable nap.

……

The swamps are quite hot and humid in the summer, especially near Chen Yu's swamp fortress. After cutting down some tall oak trees, the sunlight shines through unimpeded, baking the swamp water warm.

Even Chen Yu felt that the water in his body was evaporating faster than usual, and his body was emitting fine bubbles.

After these days of hard work, two more black mud brick walls have been built on the fortress site, and only the east wall is left to completely enclose the site.

Other buildings are also being constructed simultaneously.

Two more hives were transplanted back onto the oak towers on the north and south sides, bringing the number of stinger hives in the fortress to an astonishing eight.

Even the existing moss monster farms can no longer meet the demand, so they can only continue to expand the scale of the farms.

In the southern area of ​​the fortress, there is a moss monster farm under almost every oak tree.

The beetles dug holes at the bottom of the tree, and Chen Yu thoughtfully used tree roots to build exquisite nests for the bryozoans.

Water diversion channels have been dug around the farm, so the beetles no longer have to worry about their nests being flooded.

In addition, the South District has opened up several neatly arranged mushroom farms for cultivating a variety of delicious mushrooms and mosses.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

After Chen Yu fed the slime and stinging bee with spiritual food, his consciousness connected with the fat slime that was still in the slime nest.

Although the goblins may have discovered some abnormalities in the swamp, Arthur is watching at the border of the territory.

There are also stinger bees patrolling the swamp in shifts 24 hours a day. As long as there is a goblin invasion, he will know quickly and there is no need to guard it all the time.

Of course, I have to explore the dungeon when I have some free time.

The Gray Mist Lake underground city is quite vast, filled with a variety of bizarre ecosystems. There's the fog zone, covered in mushrooms and rocks, perpetually filled with damp white mist; there's the rainforest zone, home to towering trees and a constant downpour; there's the intricate passageway zone, filled with caves and rock halls...

There are countless monster species in the dungeon, and you can even see many monsters with magical talents.

This is a huge treasure that is waiting to be developed.

If trading magic organs is just to satisfy the needs of ordinary talents, then exploring dungeons is to enable him to discover new talents and explore the mysteries of monsters more deeply.

Chen Yu controlled the fat slime and carefully poked his head out of the nest. He saw that it was still quiet and peaceful here, full of strange order.

The slime's nest is located in the shallow passage area. There are not many monsters here. The only ones that can threaten the slime are some hateful digging worms that dig holes everywhere.

He was just about to quietly leave to explore outside, but the creamy yellow slime sister noticed his little action, jumped over and carried him back.
