"What? The White Tower and the Alchemist Association want to cooperate with me?"

Louis frowned slightly.

He had no communication with the White Tower and the Alchemist Guild.

Bai Ta, in particular, was unwilling to have any contact with the organization that had used him as a human experiment subject.

This was the first time in Olivia's life that she saw a troubled expression on Louis' face.

"Yes, he doesn't like contact with the White Tower."

A small light bulb slowly lit up on the little swan's forehead.

“Sister Wang, what are they looking for Louis for?”

"You can't be thinking of borrowing his slime digestion ability because of his eye on it, right?"

Lumi, who was behind Olivia, pulled at the corner of her clothes.

My little princess, can you please stop talking?

His Highness Louis was originally an experimental subject, so how could he send his magical pet to be experimented on?

Don't you find this annoying?

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Beatrice laughed and pinched her face in surprise:

"Who told you this, Olivia?"

The mages and alchemists are at odds with the extreme environmentalist druids.

Mages need to conduct magical experiments, and alchemists need to make alchemy and medicine.

Both are big consumers of magic materials and big producers of waste.

But in this world where magic flourishes, dealing with magical waste is also a big problem.

The White Tower was located in the imperial capital because it had advanced waste disposal facilities.

But!

Now the entire national waste treatment plant is in a semi-debt state.

It is also foreseeable that before the Imperial Capital can purchase new equipment from the Supreme Forest, the disposal of magical waste will become a major problem.

“…So, the White Tower and the Alchemist Association are going to allocate some funds and ask your Rimuru to help them solve their difficulties.”

Louis turned to look at the little swan in shock.

No, Little Swan, are you really a genius?

Otherwise, why would they reveal their plans right away?

The little swan's nose is almost up to the sky.

"No, no, it feels so good to show off my power in front of the country!"

The next second, she was about to secretly poke Louis' nerves again: "Since it's the White Tower and the Alchemist Guild, they must have given a lot, right?"

Wah, what a joke, how can they be willing to pay more for disposing of garbage.

That must be a lot of searching...

Beatrice smiled and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect them to be so generous. They are willing to give 30,000 gold coins as a processing fee."

"Mr. Duo, Mr. Duo?"

The little swan's mouth opened slightly.

My mind went blank.

"Magic waste disposal is so expensive now?"

"It's not expensive at all, please don't say anything nonsense, okay? It's difficult for the Supreme Forest to update its waste treatment facilities every five years.

Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense. You are just about to tell us your true feelings."

A sarcastic voice was heard, scaring Louis and Olivia.

"Who the hell are you, old man?"

Louis looked at the white-bearded old man who suddenly appeared beside him and subconsciously took out his sword.

But after seeing Beatrice's helpless smile, he didn't cut her off after all.

The lady-in-waiting who was guarding Beatrice said coldly:

"Sir Gandalf, next time you enter the Chancellor's office, please remember to knock on the door and don't use space jump."

The old man laughed awkwardly, knowing that he was in the wrong.

But he still couldn't control his mouth, and kept on talking for a long time: "Hey! Sometimes Baita should also look for its own reasons, okay? Has the research funding increased over the years? Has the business been run well?

The long-ear equipment has been priced at this price for many years, I am really going crazy! ”

Louis couldn't help but add, "Then Li knelt?"

Guigui, are we from the same hometown?

"What Li? I usually kneel on the washboard at home, not on fruit."

Gandalf the Whitebeard gave Louis a disappointing answer with his actual actions.

"Plums are delicious. It would be a shame if they were rotten to pieces."

Louis: ...

Well, he must have overthought it.

Louis' eyes turned slightly red.

The addiction to greed has come.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions...

30,000 gold coins?

Three small goals? Now he just needs to nod his head to agree? No, no! Why does he also get pink eye in the other world?

etc?

The power of greed, the great sin, began to grow in him.

Every cell is wailing.

Get this money! Get more money!

Get all their money!

Louis' eyes were as red as a rabbit.

Sweating all over.

I thought I could resist the temptation, but now it seems I was wrong.

That's because there isn't enough! More!

More! Oh, and these mages don't seem to be so friendly to elves and druids...

Isn't that right?! Hiss! His mouth moved faster than his brain: "I can help you deal with this batch of magical waste."

"But don't you consider overcoming the technical difficulties of garbage disposal facilities?"

"This... Sir Gandalf, we in Unther should also have our own super-efficient waste disposal equipment."

"Old wizard, having a sword but not using it and having no sword at all are two different things!"

The old wizard, whose name is quite amusing, fell into deep thought: "Having a sword but not using it and not having a sword are two different things... right?"

But it is so difficult to surpass the elves' technology!

If it were so easy to surpass, countries would not allow such a big piece of the pie to be occupied by the elves.

However, driven by greed, Louis's mind worked at full speed, and he saw the key point in an instant. He said in a devilish and bewitching tone, "Mage, if you can't catch up on the road they've opened up, why don't you consider overtaking on the curve?"

"Have you seen my slime? How do you think its digestive abilities compare to the elves' equipment?"

The old wizard shuddered and said:

"Better than their best equipment!"

Louis added: "But what if I tell you that the reason why it digests so quickly is not simply because of individual characteristics, but is replicable?"

Louis looked at Beatrice.

Beatrice smiled softly: "Sir Gandalf has the authority to know the information about the giant slime."

"That's really... great!"

But Louis didn't realize that, hidden by the helmet, his face was filled with an indescribable intoxication and madness.

Just like a drunkard smelling sweet wine, Grandet smelled the fragrance of money.

"The terrifying digestive power of the giant slime, combined with the dragon-like spells 'Iron Stomach' and 'Pica', this is the essence of Rimuru's digestive ability."

Simple dragons can't do it.

A simple giant slime can't do it.

But when the two are added together, they can produce an extremely huge chemical reaction.

However, if one wants to discover the essence of this digestive ability, one cannot do without the [Greed Ruler].

Only a "ruler" like Louis, who directly understands the essence of Rimuru's power, can easily discover the logic behind this.

This time, the white-robed wizard finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He smiled coldly and resolutely:

"really?"

“I will never lie!”

"I have agreed to this matter on behalf of the White Tower. If the elves can do it, why can't we humans do it?"

Old Master, it’s getting ignited.

Then, as expected, he gave Louis the answer he most expected.

"30,000 gold coins is a welcome gift."

“Lord Louis, if the next technical path is basically verified, your Slime, no, our honorable Lord Rimuru, please spare some time to cooperate with us in the research!”

"The Alchemist Association would definitely be happy to get involved."

"If we can overcome the difficulties..."

“300,000!”

"Within a year at most, we will bring you orders worth 300,000 gold coins!"

The little swan opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

+1 for pink eye!

It was also the moment I heard the news.

Louis felt the influence of [Sin: Greed] disappear in an instant, and a sense of euphoria filled every cell.

Then, in a flash, a feeling of boredom came over me again.

After the excitement, he entered the sage mode and suddenly realized that he couldn't spend all his 30 small goals? ...

[Location: Adventurer's Guild]

After Louis picked up some things that Alice could know and told her.

There were no surprises.

+2 for pink eye!

Alice said with a grin, "Close your helmet, or I'm afraid I can't help it."

"Can't help what?"

"Start robbing!"
