After that, the slime also learned to telepathize and then introduced himself to everyone. He was originally a white-collar worker named Mikami Satoru, 37 years old, unmarried. The reason why he turned into a slime was very simple, that is, when his junior brought his girlfriend out to discuss marriage with him, the group was attacked by an indiscriminate killer. In order to protect his junior, Mikami Satoru was stabbed to death by the other party, and then he woke up and turned into a slime.

[Well… I turned into a slime, but this is not bad. At least I can say goodbye to the life of a social slave…]

"Me too, Mr. Mikami!!"

However, after listening to the slime's self-introduction, Yazisa's eyes were filled with tears, and she grabbed the slime - scaring it so much that it almost jumped out.

"It's the same for me. Before I was reincarnated as a witch, I was also a company employee. Later, I collapsed at my post..."

"Really? You're really pitiful. Well, I'm almost the same. If I hadn't met the killer, I would probably have died from overwork..."

Just like this, the man and the slime sympathized with each other, looking at the confused faces of the other people around them - although Xiaobai was also a reincarnated person, she was only a high school student and had not yet entered society.

As for Ellie?

What does the death of office workers from overwork have to do with her? She is the one who caused the death of office workers from overwork.

Besides, young people, if you don’t work hard when you are young, you won’t be able to work hard when you are old.

So working overtime is just natural, right?

Perhaps because they were both office slaves in their previous lives, Azisa and Slime quickly became familiar with each other, while Irena and Yue were completely unable to get involved in their conversation. After all, only those who were also office slaves in Japan could understand the life of office slaves, so that the conversation between the two sounded like a secret code to others...

It was only when Ai Li interrupted and asked Slime about the maze that the topic was brought back on track.

According to the slime, it could not see anything at first, because it was a slime, so it could not see anything with its eyes and could not hear any sound. It could only confirm its surroundings through touch. Later, it met the Storm Dragon, and under its guidance, it mastered the ability to use magic to observe the surroundings and hear sounds.

Moreover, the Storm Dragon gave the Slime a name called Rimuru...So the Slime also said that his past self was dead, and his current self was called Rimuru.

As for the Storm Dragon itself… Rimuru said embarrassedly that the Storm Dragon was sealed and could not escape. If it continued like this, it would only die, so Rimuru used his system ability to swallow it into his stomach for analysis, and hoped that one day he could unlock the seal of the Storm Dragon.

Everyone was speechless. Although it was impossible for a slime to eat a dragon, as a reincarnated being, if he also had a system, then he could make the impossible possible...

As for the situation below the maze, Rimuru said that he was not very clear, because after swallowing the Storm Dragon, he had been trying to leave here and go to the surface. So when he heard the noise made by Ai Li and others, Rimuru came to observe secretly. Of course, he also knew that as a monster, he could not communicate with others and might be attacked, so he hid aside.

Originally, Rimuru planned to wait for Ai Li and the others to pass by and then follow their path to find the exit, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Azisa... and his plan was almost broken.

In fact, it was also very confused as to why Yazisa was able to discover it and start fighting right away.

In response to this, Yazisa said embarrassedly... Killing slimes for three hundred years has become a conditioned reflex.

Hearing this, Rimuru felt sick and said that it was no wonder that when he saw Azisa rushing towards him, he felt cold and stiff all over, as if he had met his natural enemy - after all this time, it turned out to be a natural enemy!

After that, Rimuru also learned information about the outside world from everyone. After learning that this world not only has reincarnated people like himself who have systems, but also traversers who have lost their memories and traversers who have systems, Rimuru was greatly surprised. He never expected that this world is so complicated... Of course, he also agreed to the invitation of Ai Li and others, and expressed his willingness to leave here with them to Wanhua Valley.

After all, the entrance and exit of this maze is on an isolated island in the ocean. Even if Rimuru runs out by himself, he can only look at the vast ocean and sigh in despair. Now that Ai Li and others are willing to provide Rimuru with a place to live, he naturally will not refuse.

As for the maze strategy... With a big guy like Ai Li leading the team, everyone just needs to relax and chat, why bother about this?

After all, the big brother is leading the dungeon, and the little brothers have nothing to do except holding on to the golden thigh, shouting 666 and chatting flirtatiously.

And in fact, this is exactly the case. Ellie and her group successfully conquered the underwater maze and then obtained the third magic of the Age of Gods - the magic of regeneration.

This magic is useless to Ai Li and Yue, as vampires have the ability to regenerate. On the contrary, Irena likes it very much. After all, she is the only one among these non-humans who is close to humans and is afraid of getting hurt. With regeneration magic, at least there will be no problem in this regard.

After obtaining the regeneration magic, Ai Li and the others left the maze and returned to the Flower Valley, taking Rimuru the slime with them... So far, Ai Li has conquered three mazes, one is the Flower Valley, the other is the Foss maze and the underwater maze. Of the remaining four mazes, Ai Li plans to conquer the Sea of ​​Trees maze and the Canyon maze first, and then go after the other two mazes.

As for why this choice was made, the reason is very simple, because the last two remaining mazes are located in the "Sacred Mountain" in the capital of the Kingdom of Barbagia and the capital of the "Immortal Sky Territory" in the Union of Kings.

To put it bluntly, it is the base camp of the two forces.

The human kingdom is still easy to deal with, but the Immortal Sky Territory may have to be directly attacked... Of course, considering that the sacred mountain is the seat of the religion that believes in the Supreme God in this world, we may have to attack it as well.

In comparison, the maze in the canyon is more convenient, and the forest is probably more troublesome because it is the secluded place of the demihumans...

Therefore, Ellie's next goal is to first conquer the canyon maze, then go to the forest, then deal with the Immortal Sky Territory, and finally decide whether to enter the royal capital depending on the situation.

This was what she had originally planned...but when they arrived at the hotel in the city to rest, an invitation from the palace disrupted her plans.

"letter?"

Looking at the Adventurer's Guild staff in front of her, Ellie frowned, and the latter nodded respectfully.

"Yes, this is an invitation from the palace."

"Are you looking for us?"

"Yes, it was Captain Meld himself..."

"Melde...oh..."

When she heard the name, Ellie remembered that this was the legion commander of the Kingdom of Barbagia. She had seen him before in the underground maze of Foss. He seemed to be the educator of that group of gods' messengers.

Why did he come to me? Could it be to thank me?

Thinking of this, Ai Li took the letter and opened it. As expected, there was a lot of words written inside, which was nothing more than thanking Ai Li for saving his life. At the same time, he praised them for conquering the 65th floor of Foss, and said that the royal family was also very interested in legendary adventurers who could break historical records... He hoped that they could come to the royal city to discuss important matters...

Well, the last paragraph is the key point.

"That's the situation."

After reading the letter in her hand, Ai Li turned around and looked at the girls behind her.

"What do you think?"

"The royal city of this world, I also want to go and see it."

Yazisa seemed very curious, and Irena had no objection. Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Well, since we have unanimously agreed, let's go to the royal city and see what those people are planning to do with us."

It would be best if something happened in the maze under the sacred mountain, and then she would be forced to rely on the power of these powerful adventurers to solve the problem. In this way, she would be able to enter the sacred mountain maze openly - this is what Ellie thought.

But unfortunately, reality is often not as we wish.

"I hope you can educate the gods and teach them how to fight..."

Hearing what Captain Meld said, Ellie immediately frowned.

Are you kidding me? I'm going to teach those students myself?

Are you kidding me?

"Why are you looking for us?"

"Because you all showed great strength when conquering the Great Labyrinth, and...you are all very young, I think you should be able to get along well with the gods."

Captain Meld also noticed Ellie's dissatisfaction and began to persuade her.

"The God's messengers are the foundation for protecting the kingdom and the people. We must make them as powerful as possible, but... there is always a gap between me and the God's messengers, and we often cannot understand each other..."

This is nonsense. It is impossible for people from two different worlds to understand each other's values.

"You are about the same age as the gods' messengers, your strength is also quite strong, and your character is trustworthy, so I wrote to the king, hoping to invite you to train the gods' messengers."

Well, it turns out that you are the culprit.

Hearing this, Ellie snorted in dissatisfaction, then she narrowed her eyes and stared at Captain Meld.

"But, Captain Meld, is this really okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"I think you may not know yet, or maybe you already know, but when I was in Ur Town, I killed a god's messenger who was doing nothing with my own hands. Are you sure you want me to train them?"

“…”

Hearing this, Captain Meld's face froze, then he was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Yes... I know this very well, Miss Ellie. Indeed, the fall of the God's Messenger is heartbreaking, so... we need an insurance policy."

I see.

Looking at the expressionless face of Captain Meld, Ellie narrowed her eyes. She understood why he made this choice. Obviously, what happened in that small town before also sounded the alarm for the ruler of this kingdom. Indeed, the gods' envoys have great power, but they may also rebel for various reasons. If the powerful gods' envoys are really bewitched, corrupted, and rebelled to the enemy camp, then for the kingdom, it would be a loss of both the wife and the army.

However, the kingdom itself cannot be too harsh on the messengers of God, so they need an external force. Ellie once saved them and killed a messenger of God with her own hands. This means that she can suppress the messengers of God in terms of strength, and can also train and correct these messengers in terms of their character.

Just like in the army, a harsh and inhuman commander is necessary, but the kingdom cannot be asked to play the villain, so... they let themselves be the villain?

This seems interesting too?

"Okay, I understand."

After thinking for a moment, Ai Li smiled slightly.

"I also want to see what these gods are capable of."
