Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

The other three front-line troops are the heavy strike force, the magic strike force, and the magic support force.

Then, the most important thing is the king’s personal guard.

Kaijin was the head of the working force at the time.

The deputy is Besta.

"That guy was a marquis. Everyone was saying he'd bought his rank. I'm a commoner, so he was incredibly jealous of my status. He must have had mixed feelings. Perhaps he felt humiliated by working under a commoner... I didn't have time to worry about anyone else's feelings at the time. I was so busy trying to meet the king's expectations... Then, something happened..."

At this point, Kaijin began to talk about what happened at that time.

That was why he resigned from the army.

The magic armor incident.

The dwarf work force at the time was unable to develop new technologies and could only endure the bad reputation of being the worst of the seven forces.

The Dwarven Kingdom is built on technology, so the work force should be brought to the fore! This is what the Besta faction advocates.

The Cajun school advocates maintaining the status quo and focusing on research.

The two sides were arguing endlessly, and even during the meeting they had no consensus and could not reach a conclusion.

It was then that they finalized the "Magic Armor Soldier Project" to be developed in collaboration with the Elf Technicians.

At least we must make this plan a success and use it to consolidate the position of the work force! That seemed to be Besta's idea at the time.

Kaijin accused Besta of being too hasty, but Besta ignored his civilian superior's advice. Ultimately, Besta's impatience caused the "Elf Magic Core" to spiral out of control, leading to the failure of the experiment shortly after it began. The plan suffered a setback.

The "Magic Soldier Project," which brought together the best elite engineers of the time, ended in this way.

It also led to Kaijin taking sole responsibility and being forced to resign from the military.

Besta blamed all his mistakes on Kaijin and bribed military officials to make them give false testimony.

This is the truth behind the incident involving the magic armored soldier.

Kaijin sighed tiredly after he finished speaking.

Rimuru understood his feelings. Years of regret were certainly not to be underestimated.

Speaking of which, Besta sounds like the archetypal villain. In a way, that's pretty easy to understand.

In a word, Besta was worried that if Kaijin didn't get out of the country, he would one day regain his military rank and threaten his own position.

Should we just use the death penalty to deal with such a despicable person? It seems that using the death penalty is too extreme...

"That's the thing, anyway. If I leave the country, that guy will be more settled."

After saying this, he concluded somewhat dejectedly.

The three brothers also knew the truth of the incident and had always hated Minister Besta.

After hearing this, even Rimuru started to dislike him.

However, Kaijin still struck the noble. There's no way he'll be acquitted...

I noticed that Rimuru was worried—

"I'll be fine, I guess. Even though I've retired, I was once a regimental commander and retain my baronet status. If a commoner attacked a noble, they wouldn't even have a trial, they'd just be executed."

Kaijin laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

Rimuru couldn’t smile at all.

If anything happens, just run away! Rimuru should distance himself from this matter and pretend to be an ordinary slime until the situation calms down.

Rimuru secretly thought about this in his heart.

Judgment Day has arrived.

They were brought before the king.

Rimuru was curious since Hilichu didn't show up.

He only left a message that the dwarf king could see through people's hearts, so as long as they were right, they would be treated right.

There's also the value of recovery medicine and so on. In short, nothing will go wrong in the future, he can guarantee it.

Then he disappeared inexplicably, and Rimuru didn't have to wait for him.

"Could it be that he ran away because he was afraid of being implicated?"

[Great Sage: The possibility is extremely low. The analysis made by the individual named Qiuqiu is quite reasonable...]

"I'm just kidding. If he really ran away, he wouldn't leave this for me."

Yes, Qiu Wenjian left a trump card. If anything really goes wrong, Rimuru can just use it and all difficulties will be solved.

Turn back your thoughts.

The tall and majestic king sat on the throne.

The heroic king of the dwarves.

Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I realize that he had an awe-inspiring aura that was truly extraordinary.

The current king is Geza Devagang.

Wang Zheng closed his eyes and leaned deeply in his chair.

He was quite stocky, very dwarven, and his muscles were full of throbbing strength.

Then there was the striking tan skin and the black hair, slicked back neatly.

So strong. Rimuru’s instincts hadn’t been so strong for a long time.

He was accompanied by knights on both sides.

These two are also very strong, but they pale in comparison to the king.

This dwarf king is a monster.

Rimuru thought he could easily escape, but now...

The relaxed consciousness suddenly became clear as soon as it came before the king.

This may be the first time Rimuru felt a sense of crisis after arriving in the other world.

A man knelt before the king, seemingly asking him for instructions.

Then the king seemed to agree, and the man stood up and began to recite the oath.

"The trial begins! Everyone, be quiet!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the trial began.

For a full hour the statements of both sides were read out.

Although Rimuru and his companions were involved, they had no right to speak freely here. Only nobles, those of earl rank or above, could speak freely here. Others were forbidden to speak without the king's permission.

What will happen if you speak without permission?

If you speak, you're guilty, and you'll also be charged with lese majesty. They don't care if you're wrongly accused. That's the rule here.

Only full power of attorney can be used.

During the two days we were detained, we met with the agent several times and went through the motions several times.

To put it in an analogy, he is like a lawyer.

This agent should be fine, right?

Xu Guo's worry seems to have come true...

"So, that's what happened. Master Besta was resting in the store and tasting wine, but a group of them broke in and started beating people up! This behavior is truly outrageous!"

"Are these words true?"

"Yes! I not only asked Mr. Caikin, but also investigated the people in the store. What he just said is absolutely true!"

...Huh? What is he talking about?

The agent should be a comrade, but he betrayed us.

Isn't this terrible?

Rimuru looked at Kaikin's reaction, and his face flushed red, then turned pale.

No wonder he reacted like that. After all, he wasn't even given a chance to argue.

Of course, lying by an agent is a serious crime, punishable by death if discovered. Unless one is highly aware or has a specific reason, lying is impossible. Yet, this impossibility has become reality.

This regulation was designed to prevent criminals from speaking carelessly in front of the king, but this time it was abused by bad people.

"Your Majesty! Did you hear everything? Please punish these guys severely!"

Besta continued to make suggestions to the king.

As he said this, he glanced at us and smiled victoriously.

That bastard...it was right to hit him...

Wang kept his eyes closed and did not move.

After confirming the king's reaction, the attendant at his side spoke on his behalf.

"Silence! The verdict will now be read! The principal offender, Kaijin, is sentenced to twenty years of forced labor in the mines. The other accomplices are sentenced to ten years of forced labor in the mines. The trial is now concluded—"

"--etc."

A deep, calm voice interrupted the closing statement.

Wang opened his eyes and stared at Kaijin.

"Long time no see, Kaijin. How are you?"

"...Yes! Your Majesty, I hope you are well. Seeing you are in good health is enough for me."

There was a pause before Kaijin responded.

It seemed that answering the king's question did not matter.

"No need for formalities. We have nothing to offer each other," the king replied to Kaijin, then asked the crucial question: "Are you interested in coming back?"

This treatment seemed to be an exception, and the surroundings began to become noisy.

Besta's face turned blue instantly.

Rimuru glanced in a certain direction and saw the agent who had just betrayed us with a pale face.

"My king, please forgive my intrusion! I have pledged my allegiance to my new master! The bond between me and my new master is as precious to me as a treasure. Even if I receive a royal decree, I will not give up this treasure!"

Everyone present turned pale upon hearing this. The guards even released murderous intent towards Kaijin.

Although he became the target of public criticism, Kaijin remained fearless. Instead, he held his chest high with a clear conscience and looked at the king intently.

Seeing those eyes, the king closed his eyes again.

"Yeah……"

The surroundings fell silent again.

then--

"I hereby pronounce my sentence. Listen carefully! Exile Cakin and his accomplices. After midnight tonight, you are not permitted to remain in my country. That's all. Get out of my sight!"

Wang opened his eyes wide and pronounced the verdict in a voice as loud as a bell.

This is the king's dominance! The oppressive feeling makes people tremble. However, the king seems to be very lonely.

The trial ended and they returned to Kaijin's shop.

I wanted to go for a drink, but that would get me into trouble.

It’s better to pack your bags quickly and leave early.

So, Qiuqiu is okay, right?

Rimuru felt a little uneasy, but then he went...

"Ah! Welcome back! Mr. Qiuqiu has come back and left a message."

As he said this, Gobda jumped up from the sofa!

How could this guy possibly escape from the spider's "sticky silk"?

Looking closely, it was Rangalang who was used as a pillow by Gobda just now.
