On this continent, there are clear levels of division among professionals.

LV1-10, also known as the hero level.

At this stage, professionals will gradually progress from ordinary people to the strength of heroes and powerful people in the storybooks.

LV11-20, that is the model level beyond heroes.

A role model for professionals, a powerful existence that everyone aspires to be, and the strength ceiling of the protagonists in most storybooks.

Especially level 20, which is basically the pinnacle of a professional's level in theory.

As to why it is theoretically speaking, we will talk about it later.

Even in Enther, the capital of the old empire, a political and economic center with huge scale, the newcomers of the Adventurer's Guild are only level 3.

At the LV3 level, with the cooperation of the team, they are already capable of dealing with most low-level monsters.

But now, only 10,000 level 1 slimes are needed to create a monster with a challenge level of 11.

Especially since this monster can even be controlled by a level 2 warrior, this is really...

The old wizard looked at the three people who had rushed over, first nodded to Beatrice as a sign of respect, then looked past the stunned little swan and looked at Louis whose eyes seemed unable to focus.

"Huh?"

"The fluctuations on His Highness' body are..."

…

at the same time.

Louis' body changed at the edge of the experimental area.

As Rimuru successfully evolved, Louis felt a condensed energy spreading to him through the power of the contract.

That was the excess energy that Rimuru gave back to him after his promotion.

Compared to the paragon level, this essence is a bit redundant.

But it’s just right for Louis, a level 2 fighter!

The spreading essence was like little bugs crawling around under his skin, and a pain and discomfort gradually spread throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, the blood in his body began to boil.

He felt as if his bones, muscles and tendons that had not been relaxed were entangled by rubber bands. As his blood boiled, the feeling of being freed from the restraints became more and more obvious.

Along with this comes the pain that comes with further physical development.

The corner of Louis' mouth twitched slightly.

It hurts a bit...

But it doesn’t matter, I have a solution!

His tail was stiff behind him, with the tip of the tail spread out, and a cold light flashed on the protruding back teeth.

Spell-like venom synthesis paralysis venom! His tail bit himself, and the pain that had grown from the purification catalysis of Rimuru's promotion gradually dissipated with the penetration of the paralysis venom.

The magical aura emanating from the giant slime cast upon him, lengthening his shadow and illuminating his face which was calm to the point of being cold.

Well...his face was also numb.

"Goddess of Magic!" The old wizard with a goatee was so shocked that he broke off several strands of his beard.

Her Highness Beatrice's fiancé is definitely a ruthless man.

The old wizard made a silent decision in his heart that he would honestly call this person "His Highness Louis" from now on.

Beatrice was also a little surprised.

Although I have heard of summoners with deep contracts, sometimes the strength of the summoned beasts will increase abnormally, which will drive the summoner's own level to increase, but...

There is still a clear gap between a warrior's magical pet and summoned beast.

This was the first time she had seen someone improve their warrior level due to the improvement of their pet's power.

"Is it because of the special nature of the great sin of greed?"

As for our little swan, her teeth are almost broken.

It was me, I was here first, obviously I was here first...either to stay by my sister's side or to find a solution to the slime.

Why did it turn out like this.

...Huoguo, you are a dog! Why is it you who provided the solution, you who upgraded the professional level, but I am the one who paid the money? Little Swan is about to cry.

"Sister Wang!"

Olivia was like a candle that had burned out. She was completely exhausted. She said with a resentful expression, "So the reason I came here today is to see his strength improve?"

Beatrice coughed lightly, reached out and rubbed the head of this well-behaved sister, and said with a smile:

"I'm mainly telling you where your property (referring to the slime group) is. Remember to ask me for reimbursement tomorrow."

If she is not reimbursed, she will be so upset that she will stay in bed all day.

Even if she hadn't done any meritorious service, Beatrice would have used her own private treasury to pay for it for her, not to mention that she had done any meritorious service, this was "special funds for special purposes".

Poor Beatrice had no idea that her own little swan was about to faint.

When she thought about how Louis' slime was promoted by eating her slime, a kind of beauty of brain stem loss came to her mind.

Seeing Huoguo using her little money to arm herself and win the favor of the king sister was more painful than killing her.

The cost of purchasing the slime has been reimbursed, and the crisis of Tino's explosion has been resolved, but why... why!

"Sister Wang, I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to the palace to rest first."

Beatrice looked at her with some concern: "Okay, let Lumi take you back. Have a good rest and don't stay up late reading knight novels."

The little swan nodded reluctantly and almost ran away from this sad place.

…

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Olivia, who fell on the soft big bed in the bedroom, let out a scream.

After Lumi changed Olivia into a fluffy nightgown, she carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and said helplessly, "My little princess, it's time to go to bed early."

Lumi didn't understand why Little Swan had a seizure, but when she thought about it carefully, the frequency of her own princess's seizures was not small.

She comforted her with a broad mind and did not leave the room until she was emotionally stable.

After seeing Lumi leave, Olivia's twitching nose quickly calmed down, and her temper disappeared like a phantom.

Think about today's situation.

“Why did it become like this?!”

Olivia curled herself into a ball on the bed.

The first level of the prince's trial allowed the two of them to steal the show.

But from Olivia's perspective, this strategy was a complete failure.

The National Waste Treatment Plant affair was coming to an end.

The evil chief Snow is about to go to the guillotine.

A group of nobles who were corrupt and accepted bribes and worked in the processing plant to eat the emperor's food were also implicated.

As for those with the most serious problems, their group of noble relatives cut off ties faster than anyone else.

The others were given 80 lashes of the cane, some should be fined, some should be fired.

Those with the least serious crimes were kept by Beatrice.

If all these people were gone, it would be difficult to run the treatment plant.

Those whose problems are not serious will be kept, but if they have a criminal record and commit the same offense again, it will not be a matter of light punishment or severe warning, but they will have to consider their affairs after their death.

By making use of ministers who have committed minor offenses, the royal family can win over the hearts of the people and strengthen control.

When the newcomer takes over, power can be transferred better.

She understands all this.

But whenever she thought of Louis, her face turned red with anger.

After drinking a glass of water, she finally calmed down despite still feeling dry mouth. She sat on the edge of the bed, her white jade-like little feet swaying back and forth.

"It looks like the plan that was supposed to be put off for a while can't wait any longer."

The little swan pursed his lips.

"Huo Guo, you are used to suppressing others with force, but you have never drawn your sword against a strong enemy...

I know you are not strong."

Olivia mumbled to herself, and gradually she began to feel sleepy.

She fell into a drowsy sleep, as if she had had a nightmare, her brows were furrowed, and the moonlight outside the window shone on her face, which looked like she was about to cry, making her look a little pitiful.

At some point, the bedroom door quietly opened, and a figure came to her side. The white and slightly calloused hands fell on the golden hair like the figure.

The little swan sniffed and slowly turned over. She could vaguely be heard mumbling in her sleep: "Louis can't protect me... Sister Wang, I will never... recognize you."

The hands suddenly stiffened.

After a long time, a sigh was heard in the room.

"Silly sister..."
