"Your Majesty, I brought the Demon-Sealing Array with me." Urged by Luo Fan, Ai Li spoke first.
Damn it, I knew this thing was doomed. Since we're handing it over anyway, we should at least get something out of it.
Only if this thing is kept in their own hands will the dog emperor feel at ease.
Upon hearing this, the emperor looked toward Ellie's location.
Then, with Ellie and Daisy's explanation, they recounted what had happened, including the fact that Luo Fan had found the array plate.
However, since the slime had been keeping it, she hadn't paid much attention to it. So it wasn't until a crucial moment that she remembered it existed.
Ellie even took the initiative to express her desire to hand it over, hoping to gain His Majesty's understanding, after all, she had a cunning strategist behind her.
"Aili, are you really willing to hand over the array plate to me?"
“We are willing!” Ellie and Luo Fan expressed their opinions one after the other, and Luo Fan even took out the array.
"Only if His Majesty keeps this treasure can it achieve its maximum effect." Luo Fan also had Xiao Xue type out this message.
"Haha, you really are a clever slime. No wonder Simmons and Joseph always praise you." The emperor laughed and took the array token to look at it.
After his explanation, His Majesty's suspicions were finally dispelled. After all, there were still quite a few people who knew about the Demon-Sealing Array from that time.
Even with the emperor's investigation, there weren't any major flaws. Those troublemakers were all killed; their bones probably can't even be found now.
If the Emperor really investigates the Ice family, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, the slime. After all, I almost destroyed that family myself.
That old guy is probably still starving on the snowy plains.
Soon, Caitlin, her face cold, also took out the array plate and handed it over. These two items could only function properly when combined.
That little rascal, he gave it all away so quickly! I've been taken advantage of for nothing. I'll make him pay when we get back.
Seeing his daughter take out the array plate, the emperor smiled even more broadly. He knew that with his daughter's curiosity, she would definitely have ideas about such a valuable item.
"Ellie, tell me, what reward do you want! You saved the emperor this time and even contributed a valuable treasure, so please feel free to make any requests."
"Your Majesty, Luo Fan also managed to seize that scroll. Can he reward us with it?" Ellie asked directly, following Luo Fan's instructions.
Since this happened in front of everyone, it's best to explain it clearly.
"Oh, you mean that forbidden spell?" The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. After all, even a forbidden spell would be affected by the sealing array. Moreover, this slime was so proactive and had such a good relationship with his daughter.
"No problem, is there anything else you require?"
Xiaoxue typed out a line of text, which contained all the things needed for transformation, leaving the emperor stunned.
"A legendary dark magic core? The heart of a dragon? The fountain of life?"
This slime has such a big appetite?
In the end, it was Caitlin who explained it to him, and he realized that this little thing actually had the ambition to transform.
"I don't have any of these, so aren't there any other more realistic conditions?" If he did, he would have used them already.
"Then let's give Ellie a title, and also the right to enter the Royal Library to read books." This was another line of text from Xiaoxue.
I knew those things wouldn't be so easy to collect, so I'll deal with the clones first. As for getting a title, having a status will make things easier and help me avoid being schemed against by malicious people.
If we could get a fiefdom, we would have our own territory in the future.
"That's all?" The emperor was stunned by the huge difference in the two conditions.
"That's all. Any title like duke or marquis will do. If you have a fief, that would be even better."
Caitlin, standing to the side, even managed to suppress a laugh. This guy was hilarious; she had never seen anyone so shameless before.
No one gets the best titles right away; do you think they're all just cabbages?
The emperor's face darkened immediately, but it was only after Daisy explained in a low voice that Luo Fan came to his senses.
"Then, Your Majesty, we just want a viscount title. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" This time, Luo Fan was much more obedient and less reckless.
"The viscountship is no problem. As for the fiefdom, I'll let you know once I've thought it through."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ellie quickly bowed, after all, it was quite difficult to obtain a title normally, as it required real merit.
The investigation at the palace was still ongoing. After giving their instructions, Ellie and the others left. Only Caitlin was left behind; even her pet fairy went with the slime.
"Alright, my dear daughter, don't be so reserved. What are your thoughts on this assassination attempt?"
“Those powerful dukes did not value the imperial power very much. They would only show their support when their own interests were threatened.”
"Also, Father, why did we hand over the Six-Star Demon-Locking Array to them? Shouldn't such an important thing be kept by you?"
"Alas, those were all bestowed upon those guys by the old emperor in order to win over the hearts of the people. If I were to control them all, I doubt they would feel at ease."
"They will only submit to imperial power when it doesn't affect their interests. After all, once power has been relinquished, it's really troublesome to take it back."
Over the years, Saint Gulas has made many efforts to ensure the stability of the empire, gradually taking back military power and strengthening central control.
But there are always some guys who refuse to relinquish power, and even collude with foreign enemies to secretly cultivate their own power.
"Father, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"He should be rewarded or punished as appropriate! Simmons has the ability to do so. But what about you, daughter? What are your thoughts?"
“I think that slime can help with the investigation. Simmons mentioned it before; that guy has a very keen sense of smell.”
"You seem to value it a lot, not just because he's close to Xianxian, right?"
"He is very intelligent and has excellent analytical skills. The idea of him going to the Royal Library to read books is actually something he wants to do himself."
“He has read all the books in my collection.”
"Huh? That guy is so studious?" Saint Gulas had never heard of such a thing before, a slime who loved reading.
"Yes, there's one more thing, which I only found out about recently."
Saint Gulas looked at his daughter, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.
Upon hearing what he said next, she sprayed water out. Caitlin looked at her father with a wronged expression and wiped the water off herself.
"He grasped the spatial element."
"Really?" Saint Gulas couldn't believe it. Was this the kind of comprehension a slime should have? This was far superior to most people.
“Just a few days ago, in my backyard, he broke through the defensive shield of Toria’s snake turtle with just an ordinary dagger.” Even now, Caitlin finds it unbelievable when she brings it up.
"Alright, it really is a magical slime." Saint Gulas knew the strength of that shield, although it wasn't too difficult for him.
However, if it were to be a physical attack, unless he used a weapon with anti-magic properties, he wouldn't be entirely confident.
"Then can you learn it?"
"I can't learn it. It's too complicated to do in practice. It requires high-speed movement."
Indeed, sensing spatial elements is not a simple matter.
