The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Melalu drew her long dagger and plunged it into the hydra's body through the wound left by the Reincarnated One. She then peeled off the hydra's scales, chopped the meat into pieces, and washed it before cooking. The hydra's meat was quite delicious. Generally, killing a hydra was extremely difficult, and processing its carcass was just as challenging. According to Melalu, the blood and internal organs of a dead hydra would decompose very quickly. Without any treatment, its body would rot and spoil within eight to ten hours of death. Therefore, the hydra's meat needed immediate professional processing to prevent decay.

　Furthermore, the flesh of the hydra cannot be eaten directly. For example, the flesh of the hydra that the young girl hunted was extremely spicy when eaten raw because it contained its own toxins. If the toxins in the hydra flesh are not destroyed, the person who eats it will experience spasms and other extremely painful symptoms.

　Of course, this is also related to the feeding habits of the Hydra. Some Hydras that eat insects or specialize in eating carrion have highly irritating oils in their bodies.

　But this wasn't a problem for the Melalus. After all, they were used to cooking dragon meat for young girls, so they knew exactly how to handle poisonous, tough, and oily ingredients. The venom of the Hydra was nothing compared to that of the dragons there. After being cooked at high temperatures and with the addition of plenty of tomatoes and spicy onions, the Hydra meat emitted a herbal fragrance. At this point, the protein structure of the venom in the Hydra's body had been destroyed, so eating it wouldn't cause poisoning.

　Finally, add dill, salt, black pepper, potatoes, and other seasonings and side dishes in order, and a perfect stew of hydra meat is ready.

　The young girl's evaluation was that it was delicious and very tasty. The texture of the hydra meat was tougher than that of ordinary snake meat, and although it was not as juicy as the female fire dragon meat, it was very flavorful. Every bite was filled with a heartwarming feeling.

　And the portion is large enough!

　Moreover, a whole piece of meat is just enough to fill the stomachs of goblins who are out hunting.

　Of course, besides

　Besides the Hydra meat, the wolf demon soldiers also brought back a large amount of fruit. Apples, grapes, and pineapples were piled up like small mountains in the warehouse. After the meal, when Rigurd curiously asked the young girl what to do with the fruit, the Meralus suggested brewing it into wine. They also brought the most common winemaking methods used by hunters, such as witch's apple wine, breath wine, and extra-strong mead.

　As the name suggests, Witch's Apple Cider is naturally made from apples, Breath Wine is made from grapes, and Extra Strong Mead is made from pineapple and honey. These ingredients are readily available here.

　This decision quickly gained everyone's support, and the brewed liquor could not only be consumed by themselves but also sold. Then, with the efforts of the orc-headed tribe led by Gerud, the brewing area was quickly cleared out, and facilities such as boilers, brewing vats, and steamers were quickly built with the help of Kaijin and Blackbeard.

　The Melalus and goblins worked together, and with Shion's help, the fruit was quickly washed and chopped. Benimaru used his Black Flame Prison to sterilize the glass containers. Once everything was done, the brewing officially began. The young girl naturally tried it out as well, but with her efforts, the final result was just a large barrel of sweet rice wine that looked like fermented glutinous rice. The sweet rice wine tasted very good, with a sweet and sour flavor. Another advantage was that the young girl couldn't get drunk until she was full, which was quite popular with the female residents.

　Thanks to the efforts of the Melalus, the Witch's Apple Cider, Breath Wine, and Extra Strong Honey Wine were quickly brewed. Naturally, the first sip of these wines should be tasted by the young girl. The young girl picked up the newly produced wine, bit off the cork, and the clear, sweet, fresh wine gushed down her throat and into her stomach. Some of the wine dripped from the corners of her mouth and onto the ground, and the rich aroma of the wine quickly spread throughout the courtyard.

　After tasting it, Kaijin, Benimaru, Shion, and the others all gave it a thumbs up. The reason why they were able to brew it successfully was thanks to the wine that the Meralu carried. Wine was needed to enhance the flavor of the dishes they were cooking for the young girls, and the Meralu carried a kind of wine called Dragon Wine. According to the hunters, this wine could get dragons drunk, because a crazy hunter once forced a Anjanath to drink it. Perhaps it was with the help of this high concentration of alcohol that the wine brewing was so successful.

　In the forest, Yhorm, the protagonist of the Hero Creation Project, is helping people in distress in various places. It is now time for the monthly supply. Yhorm is leading his party back to the Jura Grand Alliance for supplies. On the way back to the city, Yhorm encounters a caravan trapped by Screaming Mushrooms. Just as the caravan leader is about to be eaten by the Screaming Mushrooms, Yhorm descends like a god and kills the Screaming Mushrooms, saving the caravan.

　After talking, Yom learned that the merchant was named Momail, and that Momail had a keen business sense. He had led the caravan out to look for opportunities, and after a long journey, he thought he would return empty-handed. However, he did not expect to encounter the hero who had defeated the Orc Emperor, and he could also see the legendary country of monsters. Naturally, Momail would not refuse.

　As soon as Momail stepped into the Jura Alliance, he saw black-haired lizardmen sleeping on the rooftops and busy figures in the city. Unlike human society, the residents here are not only goblins, but also lizardmen, orcs, and dwarves.

　"Hello, I am Ligurud, the person in charge here."

　Momail sized up the goblin lord before him. He was even more surprised that a goblin, especially an evolved one, held a leadership position here. However, Momail was not a racist. After removing his hat and bowing, he introduced himself, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rigurd. I am Momail from the Kingdom of Brummondo, and I am mainly responsible for trade between the Western countries, the Kingdom of England and the Holy Royal Kingdom of Rubelios."

　Upon hearing this, Rigurd realized that this was the trade route he had discussed with Kaijin and Benimaru. So Rigurd immediately took out various local specialties such as witch apple cider and turkey wine and introduced them to Momail. Momail didn't care at first, but after drinking the turkey wine, he immediately gave it the number one spot on his list of wines that he wanted to try at least once in his life.

　However, after drinking the witch's apple cider, Momail regretted it. The sweet and alluring fruity aroma even made Momail feel like he was being tempted by a witch. Momail also gave a very high rating to the extra-strong vodka, which led him to be eager to sign the contract.

　However, in the Jura Grand Alliance, it wasn't Ligurd who made the final decision. After Ligurd left, Momail poured himself three more glasses of wine, still feeling unsatisfied. But when Ligurd brought in the person who would make the final decision, he couldn't help but choke on his wine.

　Why is it that little black-haired lizard man?

　Volume 1: Chapter 360 - The Arrival of the Mission and the Turmoil

　Also appearing in the council hall with the young girl were Arashi, who wore a light cherry blossom-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and a light green haori (a type of traditional Chinese clothing), and Shuna, who wore a red and white shrine maiden outfit.

　Since dragons are a rather rare race in this world, let alone ancient dragons like the young girl and Lan Mei who come from another world, Momail categorized the young girl as a mutated lizardman when he first saw her. Lan Mei was naturally the same. However, the presence of Shuna beside them startled Momail. He did not expect that in addition to the superior goblin race, the Goblin Monarch, there was also a superior oni race, the Oni.

　However, judging from the appearance of the three of them, it seemed that they had just been in the kitchen. Both Lanmei and Shuna had a little flour on their faces and hands, and it was most obvious on the little girl, whose face and hands were covered with cream. After entering the council hall, she had been intently licking the cream off her hands.

　It's almost licked clean now.

　As the young girl, Lanmei, and Zhucai sat down, Momail smelled a sweet aroma of cream and honey. Judging from the smell, the experienced Momail could tell that the cream was of very high quality. This kind of cream was not something that ordinary people could afford in Western countries. Moreover, judging from the young girl and the others, it seemed that they had just been making a cake.

　"My swords were all made in that monster kingdom called the Jura Alliance. The monsters there are all top-notch, and it's practically my stronghold. Since you're a businessman, why don't you go and take a look over there?"

　This was the starting point for Momail's plan to do business in the Jura Alliance. The news that the human hero Yhorm had defeated the Orc Emperor had already spread throughout the western countries and the Kingdom of Brummond, so Momail had no reason to doubt Yhorm's words. Moreover, the quality of Yhorm's sword and armor was indeed very good.

　What surprised him was not just the drinks. Generally speaking, the level of dwelling construction among monsters around the world is far lower than that of humans. Even when a superior species appears, they live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Of course, if a Demon King species is born, it can do better.

　But in a kingdom like the Jura Grand Alliance, Momail witnessed a level of architecture that was in no way inferior to that of humans. In terms of time, this was something that the monsters had accomplished in less than a year. Realizing this, Momail was astonished by the abilities of these monsters. Of course, the monsters here were not like the common monsters. The order and development level of the entire city were even stronger than his own kingdom, the Kingdom of Brummondo.

　Yhorm's words were confirmed. The monsters throughout the city wore happy and contented expressions. In addition to the goblins led by the Goblin Lord, the entire kingdom was inhabited by ogres, dwarves, and lizardmen, who lived together in harmony, cooperating and helping each other. This harmonious scene of each fulfilling their duties and helping one another was rare even in human society. This was why Momail was so interested in the entire Jura Alliance, which made him determined to cooperate with the Jura Alliance.

　"Lord Ligurd, if I may ask, is this mutated little lizardman a descendant of the leader of the Jura Alliance? I see you all treat her with great respect."

　Ligurd was momentarily stunned. "Offspring? Lord Guang shouldn't have any offspring yet, right? No, no, no, Mr. Momail, you've misunderstood. In fact, Lord Guang is the leader of the Jura Grand Alliance."

　As soon as Ligurd said this, Momail was stunned. He hadn't expected this at all. Looking at the little guy opposite him, Momail became even more puzzled.

　“Lord Guang, this is the cooperation agreement proposed by the merchant on the other side. What do you think?” Ligurd said as he handed the contract scroll to the young girl.

　Rewinding to a few minutes earlier, Ligurd unsurprisingly found the young girl and Arashi in the restaurant. The young girl hadn't gone hunting today. Shuna looked at the several boxes of water remaining in the restaurant.

　Then, seeing his young daughter doing nothing, he decided to make her a fruit cake.

　This move also received strong support from the young girl and Lanmei.

　Because the young girl killed Hydra, there was no shortage of fruit in the Jura Alliance. Moreover, the Wolf Demons had been hunting and cultivating the land, so flour and other materials were readily available. Zhu Cai quickly prepared all the tools and materials, and the Meralu were not to be outdone, so they took the lead in making cake bases.

　After a simple division of labor, Lanmei was in charge of washing and cutting the fruit, while Zhucai took out milk and white sugar and whipped it into cream. According to the little girl's appetite, Zhucai planned to make a huge and luxurious nine-layer fruit tart, with a layer of cake, a layer of cream and a layer of fruit, stacked up, and then covered with cream to complete the task.

　The little girl yawned boredly beside them, and Lanmei would occasionally stuff some fruit into her mouth, which the little girl did not refuse at all. Melalu and the others quickly made the cake base and put it in the oven. After all, they had made more complicated dishes with the hunters, and this kind of cake and dessert was a piece of cake for them.

　And so, the restaurant fell silent. Zhu Cai was busy preparing the third batch of cream. At first, she was wondering why there was no sound from Lan Mei's side. Finally, Zhu Cai looked over curiously. Lan Mei was still peeling an apple, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen. Then, Zhu Cai looked down and saw the little girl sitting on the counter. She was putting her little hands into the cream jar and stuffing handfuls of cream into her mouth. The little girl even squeezed some honey into her mouth. When Zhu Cai called Lan Mei over to admire her, Lan Mei immediately clutched her stomach and laughed.

　After that, the young girl and her friends arrived here. However, the young girl's interest was clearly diminished. After all, compared to looking at the contract, she was more concerned about when Melalu would finish making the cake.

　"Lord Guang, this is a contract scroll from Momail, a merchant from the Kingdom of Brummondo, who wants to conduct trade with the Jura Alliance."

　The little girl was licking the cream off her fingers. She glanced at the contract scroll and then looked away, showing no interest in it. Rigurd then turned to Shuna for help. Shuna took the contract scroll, opened it, looked at it carefully, and then closed it.

　There was so much text that it gave her a headache. Just as she was wondering how to begin, Lanmei took the contract scroll and looked at it carefully. "Xiaoguang, once we finish reading this, we can go eat cake!" Lanmei's words successfully piqued the little girl's interest.

　The young girl grabbed the scroll on the table and quickly scanned it, then repeatedly examined several parts.

　(* *)

　The little girl casually pressed a handprint in several places, then another, and her saliva mixed with cream was smeared on those places, quickly making the entire contract dirty. Seeing that Ligurd didn't move, Zhu Cai immediately urged Ligurd to take a pen and write down all those places.

　Momail was shocked as he looked at the places the little girl had marked. Those were his usual tricks. Through those methods, he could ensure that he controlled the entire sales channel and was invincible in negotiations. If they were modified, he might lose the initiative. Moreover, even when dealing with humans, Momail had never had these problems discovered so quickly. This made him overestimate the little girl, but out of human dignity, he still wanted to struggle.

　"My suggestion is to stock up on the goods in my warehouse in advance. With reasonable and appropriate marketing methods, the same batch of goods can be sold at a higher price."

　The little girl shook her head and said, "No need~"

　“You’re right, but I still suggest you keep my exclusive sales rights. Otherwise, if multiple companies sell together, the competition will not be conducive to generating greater profits, and it will also easily lead to conflicts between different caravans. But if I distribute them, there won’t be these problems, and you’ll have less trouble, right?”

　"No need~"

　"In that case, I'll take over the entire acquisition. You can't put all the risks on me, can you? I'm just a businessman who travels around all the time. If you do that, it will be hard for me to continue."

　The little girl closed the scroll with a ( ) expression, saying, "I didn't force you~"

　After hearing the young girl's words, Momail lowered his head and began to think. He suddenly felt that the young girl was somewhat unfamiliar. Based on what he had seen here, he was not responsible for the safety of the Jura Forest. If he couldn't handle the safety of the human kingdom, he wouldn't need to do business. As for the exclusive sales rights, given the quality of those wines, he believed that many merchants would not mind taking a share of the pie, especially since this place was close to the armed nation of Dovagon and the beast kingdom of Yulasania. Given the style of dwarves and orcs, they would not refuse these wines.

　After thinking it over, Momail raised his head with a wry smile. He couldn't win an argument with this little guy. However, "Mr. Momail, Lord Guang has already left."

　"Heh, as expected of the leader of the Jura Alliance, you already foresaw my outcome. I've truly lost. Let me modify the scroll. You really made a fool of yourself before, Lord Rigurd."

　"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's all thanks to the wise and intelligent Master Guang."

　At this time, England

　Back in the Kingdom of West Asia, Rimuru was playing games with the students that Shiz was concerned about. After meeting Kagurazaka Yuuki and dispelling the latter's suspicions about him, Rimuru learned about the five children's situation. Due to the violent summoning, the children's bodies could not keep up with the fluctuations of magic energy, and according to Kagurazaka Yuuki, these children were close to death.

　But Rimuru wouldn't give up; he was doing his best to find a suitable solution, and time passed peacefully.

　One day, the tree spirit Torene came to the council hall for some reason. After respectfully bowing to the young girl, Torene explained what had happened.

　In the previous Storm Vortex incident, Phoebe, one of the Beast King Warriors under the Beast Kingdom's Demon King Carrion, was seduced by a villain. After learning of this, Carrion, to express his apology and to spare his life, verbally concluded a non-aggression and friendly agreement with the Jura Alliance. However, some things cannot be confirmed or publicized without being made public, so the Beast Kingdom decided to conduct a friendly visit with the Jura Alliance, and the dryad Torene came to deliver this information.

　"access?"

　"Yes, Lord Guang, kingdoms send delegations to visit neighboring countries to confirm that they are in a friendly relationship. Presumably, after Carion decided on this policy, some members of the Beast King Kingdom found it difficult to accept, so they carried out such a visit to inform the kingdom."

　"Since it is an envoy sent by the Demon King Carrion, we should also prepare appropriate etiquette. I think Lord Hikaru thinks so too."

　Because of Momail's matter, Rigurd and the others held the young girl in the highest esteem. The young girl simply nodded, not understanding why, and continued to chew on the salmon rolls that Melalus and the others had made for her.

　After the meeting, Rigurd, Benimaru, Gerold, Shion, and others immediately got to work. Everyone in the Jura Alliance also got busy. The area originally planned as the diplomatic hall was immediately put under emergency construction. The orcs carried stone bricks to pave the ground and began building houses. Besta, the former minister of the Dwarf Kingdom, was in charge of teaching etiquette, Meralu and the others were in charge of teaching goblins how to cook, and Benimaru and the others were in charge of determining and coordinating the schedule. With everyone's efforts, the welcoming work proceeded in an orderly manner.

　Of course, Rimuru also received a message from Souei informing him that he would be returning to the Jura Alliance in five days. As for countermeasures, Rimuru proposed to insist on peaceful and friendly exchanges, but Benimaru and Shion wanted to put on a show.

　Finally, the day of the delegation's visit arrived quickly, and Rimuru appeared on time in the welcoming party. As for the little girl, she was still the same as before, standing next to Arashi eating a small cake.

　Before long, a cloud of dust rose from the main road outside the Jura Alliance, and five carriages—well, actually vehicles towed by Thunder Tigers, so they should be called Tiger Carts—arrived before them. Then, a woman dressed in white, with a serpentine lower body, lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriages. The woman's hair was half black and half blonde, but upon closer inspection, it was predominantly black.

　"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Rimuru, leader of the Jura Alliance. I am Alvis, one of the Beast King Warriors, one of the Three Beast Warriors with Yellow Serpent Horn."

　Returning the greeting, the members of the Jura Grand Alliance shook hands with Alvis, and Rimuru said, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Alvis. I hope you have a pleasant visit. Um, actually, I'm not the real master of the Jura Grand Alliance. I'm just hosting this event. If we're talking about the real master, it's this person."

　Following Rimuru's direction, the others made way for her. The little girl looked up blankly, staring at the people in front of her with an "O_o" expression. Ranmei could tell from the little girl's expression that she had been eating the fruit cookies that Melalus and the others had prepared for her and hadn't been listening to what they were saying at all.

　Alvis didn't say anything. Instead, a furious voice came from another carriage—no, a tiger-drawn carriage. Then the wooden door was kicked open, and a girl with long white hair and cat-like eyes stepped out. "Heh, I thought you were some kind of amazing monster. A mere lizardman can become the master of the Jura Alliance? Do you really have no one else to rely on, or do you think we're idiots?"

　"This is Sophia, White Tiger Claw, one of the Three Beast Warriors of the Beast King Warriors." After introducing her, Alvis solemnly said to Sophia, "Do not be rude, Sophia. Your words and actions represent Lord Carrion's image. Do not embarrass him."

　Rimuru, Rigurd, Benimaru, and the others looked at Sofia and Alvis with bewilderment. They couldn't understand why this person dared to say such a thing. When did Hikaru become a lizardman? Could it be...?

　Rimuru glanced at Benimaru, but Benimaru just shook his head as if by telepathy. Rimuru then turned to the tree spirit Treyne. After Treyne nodded, Rimuru realized one thing: Carrion had not told them the true face of the little girl at all.

　Actually, this is mainly because Alvis, Sophia, and the others don't understand the true nature of young girls. After all, in this world, the strength of an enemy is generally judged based on the amount of magic power and the level of their race.

　Even without revealing her true form, the immense energy of the young girl, along with the death marks and bloody smell left from consuming countless monsters and killing numerous living beings, clearly demonstrates that she is a ruthless character.

　However, in her child form, the child's body contains almost no magical energy or scent, making her extremely deceptive.

　"Stop nagging like an old lady. Demons are fine, but goblins and slimes, and even lizardmen that mutate towards humans, I might look at you with more respect if you were to revert to your ancestral form."

　Zhu Cai immediately objected, retorting, "As a delegation, don't you think it's a bit excessive for you to say such things?"

　"That's excessive, but it's also related to strength. You so-called weak masters of the Jura Grand Alliance can't even withstand a single blow from me. I really don't know why Lord Carrion wanted to form an alliance with you."

　Alvis was also weighing the pros and cons. To be honest, she didn't understand how Carion had made that decision. However, compared to the reserved Alvis, the hot-tempered Sofia couldn't hold back any longer. After all, anyone would be angry looking at that silly little girl and the indifferent Jura Grand Alliance.

　Thus, "White Tiger Annihilation Fist!"

　"boom!"

　Sofia was then sent flying, crashing into more than a dozen large trees before spitting out blood and collapsing to the ground. Rimuru was stunned, Alvis was stunned, and the tree spirit Treny was also stunned.

　Just as Alvis was about to say something, she saw the little girl's crimson-gold pupils staring at them. Although that moment was very quick, she still saw the little girl whip her tail and send Sophia flying. Of course, she thought she could do that too, but to crash into more than a dozen trees before stopping was something Alvis didn't think she could do.

　It's possible to fight to the death, but the current reality is that the young girl is doing very well. If we're talking about fighting to the death, it's Sofia who's risking her life.

　Rimuru was worried that the young girl might kill the entire delegation because of her bad mood, so he immediately urged Shuna to bring out some sweets to distract her. He also took out some highly effective medicine and threw it to the delegation.

　"I'm really sorry about that. Lord Guang doesn't like being threatened, but now that's settled, we should be able to have a proper talk."

　P.S.: The photo of the world's first female astronaut smiling and sitting in the capsule after landing was a retaken photo, because she suffered a head injury upon landing and was knocked unconscious. When tea first arrived abroad, foreigners ate it with salt and pepper. Everyone has their own unique taste, but because the human sense of smell isn't very developed, humans can't smell certain things, but dogs can.

　PS2: Have a wonderful day everyone! Love you all!

　PS3: I'm humbly asking for your votes, please vote a lot!

　Volume 1: 361 - Dialogue and Cooperation within Missions

　King Gazel Dovagon of the armed nation Dovagon was already aware of the fact that the Beast Kingdom of Jurassonia had sent an envoy to the Jura Alliance for a friendly visit. Gazel Dovagon also had his own considerations regarding the fact that two of the three Beast Warriors, Alvis and Sophia, were among the envoys sent by Jurassonia.

　Although he knew that the root cause of the storm vortex incident was the lax management of the demon king Kallion of the Beast Kingdom of Yulasania, which led to the entire incident, meaning that the reason for the Beast Kingdom of Yulasania's visit to the Jura Grand Alliance was most likely to reaffirm the friendly relations between the two countries, Gazel Dovagon felt that he needed to attend in person. The main reason was that the two envoys from the Jura Grand Alliance were not present, and the two envoys from the Beast Kingdom of Yulasania were essentially the second-in-commands of the country. In terms of negotiating power, the Jura Grand Alliance was naturally at a disadvantage.

　Another point is Gazel Dovergon's care for his junior brother. Both Gazel Dovergon and Rimuru studied swordsmanship under the Demon Lord White. With this reason, no one would mind, Gazel Dovergon thought. Then he immediately pointed out several elite soldiers and captains of the Pegasus Knights. After mounting their Pegasus, the group set off for the Jura Alliance.

　On the other side, one of the messengers, Grucis, took the highly effective healing potion and sprinkled it on Sophia. A vibrant green light then emanated from Sophia's body. A few breaths later, Sophia gasped for breath and sat up abruptly from the ground.

　His white clothes and hair were covered in blood and dirt.

　"Ha, I think I just saw my uncle waving at me from the other side of the river."

　"Your uncle is still alive, right? By the way, what did he say?"

　"He said that's what you like."

　"Wait, wait, which uncle did you see? Who is he?"

　Alvis ignored Sophia's nonsense, swayed her slender waist and walked up to Sophia, flicked her snake tail and forcefully pressed Sophia down, then bowed and apologized to the Jura Grand Alliance along with Grusis.

　"I was being rude just now. On behalf of Sophia, I apologize to you, uh." Sophia then realized what had happened and was about to shout who had attacked her when Alvis immediately covered her mouth.

　"Her name is Guang, and the one next to her is Miss Alan."
