After all, running at 80 kilometers per hour in a world without motorcycles would be a bit scary for them.

[Great Sage: Mimicry, Black Mist Star Wolf. Mimicry completed.]

"Amazing! You're worthy of being the boss!"

"Hahaha! Of course. You have to work hard to evolve like this!"

Rimuru responded to Ranga's praise.

"Haha! I will definitely not let the boss down!"

A new target appeared, and Lan Ya's eyes shone brightly.

Infected by his mood, the other Lanya wolves also started to rejoice.

After everything was ready, Rimuru wanted to call Kaikin and the others over for a ride, but when he looked over, he saw… for some reason, they were foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

……

It's time to show off the results of our daily practice! Rimuru spits out "sticky threads" from his back and pulls Kaikin and the others up.

Success! Rimuru had been diligently practicing spinning and operating techniques.

So, after letting the unconscious Kaijin and others get on board, they set off.

And the two dwarves riding on Lan Ya's back were Dold and Milud.

Scored twice.

Ignoring the unconscious dwarves, the monsters began to make their way home.

The group continued on their journey until dark.

After nightfall, they stopped temporarily to rest.

Although Rimuru was not tired at all, the others needed to rest.

After everyone rested, Rimuru decided to check his own abilities.

Speaking of which, it has been busy with this and that since it came out of the cave, and has no time to properly test its skills and strength.

Qiuqiu told it that it was very important to have a correct assessment of one's own strength, so that one could consider how much strength to hide and how much strength to use when facing the enemy.

He seemed to be a rather cautious person, but Rimuru did not dislike this and even agreed with it.

But there is no need to be overly cautious. Rimuru automatically filtered out the words that he must beat the enemy into pieces before he can feel at ease.

Just as I was running to the river, planning to use my skills to see their power, the great sage suddenly gave me a reminder.

[Great Sage: Warning, hostile creatures resembling goblins are approaching.]

Goblin?

I heard from people in the village before that there was indeed a rumor about a strange goblin that suddenly appeared nearby. Qiuqiu seemed to be very concerned about the matter and had inquired about a lot of related information.

About a dozen goblins jumped out, holding spears, sharp blades, iron rods and axes, and even cavalrymen riding wolves and mages holding staffs.

[Great Sage: Correction, this creature is resembling a goblin, and is very different from other known goblins.]

There is indeed a big difference. Rimuru is working on wolf riders and the like, but goblin mages are really rare. However, Goblin can also use spells. Maybe they are just monsters that learned some magic after picking up a staff?

“Um, you are…”

Before Rimuru could finish his words, an arrow flew towards it.

It was a goblin archer, Rimuru easily dodged it and sighed slightly.

Just attack without any explanation?

It's really troublesome, not all monsters can be communicated with properly...

Rimuru was planning to knock these goblins unconscious first.

At this time, a burly man fell from the sky.

"Ah? Stand still!"

Following the man's strange roar, the goblins who were about to attack stopped in unison.

Even Rimuru could sense the strange magical power in those words.

[Great Sage: Explanation: It's a special ability similar to that of the Qiuqiu. Currently, it's speculated that the probability that this person and the Qiuqiu are from the same region is at least 40%.]

...How did the Great Sage come up with the figure of 40%...

"Oh, Mr. Slime, you're not hurt, are you?"

Even more strange, how did this man know that he was Mr.'s...

Slimes clearly have no gender, but maybe that's just a casual remark.

"It's okay, thank you for your help. May I ask who you are?"

"Ah, my name is Bili Herrington, just a philosopher passing through."

What a strange name.

"Mr. Slime, do you need my help to defeat all these monsters?"

Bili struck a muscular pose and stared at the group of strange goblins.

It's even more strange to be so attentive without any reason.

Rimuru suddenly remembered what Qiuqiu said, that he must follow him.

Maybe these people also want to get close to me for some reason?

Qiuqiu was not there at the time, so these people might have been observing for a long time before jumping out.

[Great Sage: The accuracy of the guess is as high as 80%.]

Well, the great sage has said so.

Although it is still unclear how the data was obtained, it should be a good guess.

Rimuru asked very straightforwardly.

"Mr. Bili, are you from another world?"

"Eh? Mr. Slime, how did you know..."

"The other world I'm talking about is not my original world."

Rimuru interrupted Bilibili's reply.

"Are you from a world where you need to constantly reincarnate into different dimensions?"

After hearing this, Bili was shocked and jumped back.

"Ah, I don't know what you're talking about...it's getting late, I need to go home for lunch."

After saying some strange words, the man disappeared without a trace. Rimuru wanted to catch him and wait for Hilichu to come back to ask him about it, but unfortunately he was too late.

It’s weird.

Early the next morning.

There was no unusual movement, and the group of goblins disappeared as the man left.

It's even more suspicious, but there's nothing we can do if we can't catch the person.

Ligru and others were responsible for preparing breakfast.

Goblins only know how to roast it, and it can't be called a delicacy at all.

It didn't matter at the moment, since Rimuru had no sense of taste. However, when he did develop a sense of taste, he would definitely teach them the secrets of cooking. Making food delicious was the first step to developing a cultural life.

The dwarves still looked livid when they got up.

"Are you guys okay?"

"It's okay... Where is this place?"

As they regained consciousness, they caught sight of unfamiliar scenery all around them and began to feel confused.

Rimuru told them that they were currently heading towards the Goblin Village.

"What?! It usually takes two months to get to the Goblin Village! If we don't find a town to serve as a relay station and get a carriage, there won't be enough food!"

Come to think of it, it seems they haven't been given any instructions yet, including how to get here, how fast to move, etc.

Since the journey wasn't in a hurry, Rimuru decided to take this opportunity to explain his team's situation to the dwarves.

Breakfast was just about ready. It was just roasted hare, but the dwarves' empty stomachs seemed to be irritated, and they all groaned. It seemed they were in good health.

While eating breakfast, we discussed future plans.

Rimuru casually responded to the previous question... He told them that they would be able to return to the village in about two days, but then -

“How is it possible…!”

The dwarves murmured to themselves, all of them speechless with shock.

Arriving in two days = moving very fast, so it's normal for them to be frightened.

Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it! Rimuru comforted them.

Rimuru hopes that they can adapt quickly, but before they do, they will have reached their destination.

We started moving again, and this time nothing strange happened.

Rimuru then activated the "Thought Network" and created a virtual chat room. He had used it several times before and it was quite easy to use.

Fortunately, it also works on dwarves.

"Thought Network" is an advanced version of "Telepathic Chat." Its appeal lies in its ability to communicate with multiple connected parties simultaneously. This will be very useful if you need to synchronize combat operations one day.

The maximum effective range is one kilometer, which is more than enough.

Having been frightened once before, the dwarves seemed to have prepared themselves mentally. Instead of fainting, they clung to the wolf's back tightly.

The wind pressure made it impossible for them to open their eyes, so Rimuru tried to make a membrane out of spider silk. Initially, he wanted to make a helmet substitute, but the finished product was even more satisfactory than he had imagined.

Rimuru has reached a certain level of control over the "sticky thread" with his thoughts.

Once you master the magic Qin's techniques, manipulating them at will is no longer a dream. This technique isn't limited to "sticky threads"; it can be applied in many ways. It can truly be considered an element of magic.

The dwarves seemed to have gradually gotten used to it and looked very calm.

Alternatives to hard hats also work.

Thanks to this, everyone was finally able to chat, and Rimuru casually asked the dwarves some social common sense as they moved forward.

The goblins listened intently to the dwarf's words. They soon discovered a common ground, and their conversation grew more enjoyable. They were both enjoying each other, and finally, they could rest assured.

Judging from this, I should be able to get along well with everyone when I return to the village.

Whether it is dwarves or goblins, the two major races seem to come from the same ancestors.

Dwarves are half-goblins and can live a long time.

Goblins are half-demons and have very short lifespans.

During the evolutionary process, differences gradually emerged between the two. The most important factor was the living environment, right?

Having said that, Goblins haven't evolved at all, they've rather degenerated.

Those goblins evolved into giant goblins, like a demonic version of the dwarves. They had rediscovered their ancestors' superior genes, significantly increasing their magical power. With this evolution, their lifespans might also increase, Rimuru's guess was probably correct.

However, they're not very clever. There's still a difference between monsters and fairies...

Even though they are both half-elves, dwarves are closer to monsters than elves.

So, once they get to know each other, the two groups will definitely get along well.

At this moment, Rimuru suddenly remembered something and immediately asked:

"Kaijin, it may be too late to ask this now, but is this really okay? You respect the Dwarf King, right?"

"Oh, about that. I respect him very much. All dwarves respect him. After all, the legendary hero is our own king!"

Indeed, he is the legendary hero that only appears in pillow fairy tales.

Such a hero appeared in person, supporting and protecting them, and he was their king. It was natural for everyone to admire him and respect this king.

Everyone wants to contribute something to the King.

He always walked the right path and refused to do anything unjust or unfair. He was a model king.
