Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Kenny, the village chief of this village, was once an adventurer who left the village. However, he was injured in an adventure and his wife was pregnant. After some consideration, he chose to return to his birth village and settled down.

Just today, Kenny was on the second floor recalling his past when he suddenly heard a sound of rummaging downstairs, which instantly attracted Kenny's attention. Years of consistent exercise gave him great confidence. Kenny had absolute confidence in subduing a mere thief with one hand.

But what he never expected was that the thief he thought he would be was actually a slime in front of him, and it was still an underdeveloped slime.

"Discovered?"

On the table, Lu Minghao slowly turned around and looked at the old man with gray hair at the door, thinking about whether to start Plan A, directly forcibly obtain the information he needed from the old man, and then erase the entire village.

"Wait! Can speak, are you a high-level monster?"

On the opposite side, Kenny, who had just relaxed his vigilance after discovering that the thief was a slime, instantly became nervous. The hairs on his bronze skin stood on end. His past combat experience made him subconsciously retreat from the room, grab a long sword from the wall, and assume a defensive posture.

Pa!

"Don't be nervous, human. I am a kind slime. I just want to ask a few things and won't hurt you."

Lu Minghao jumped lightly from the table and landed opposite Kenny, speaking in as gentle a tone as possible, but his body began to gradually change from sky blue to purple, and a sweet and fishy smell began to emanate in the air.

"Wait a minute, what exactly does Your Excellency want to ask?"

As a once-excellent adventurer, Kenny noticed something was wrong immediately. He quickly put down the sword in his hand and raised both hands high to show that he had no malice. The moment Lu Minghao landed, Kenny's instinct began to frantically shout and urge him to leave here.

But Kenny knew that if he really turned around and ran away, he would definitely die the moment he turned around... Moreover, the slime opposite him was definitely not someone he could contend with. The magic elements it emitted alone made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The slime opposite him was at least a C-level monster. Even if he wanted to subjugate it, he would need a well-equipped elite adventurer team, and he was just a retired adventurer.

As for Lu Minghao saying that he was a kind slime, no one would believe it!

"Oh? It seems you have noticed something?"

Lu Minghao, who was moving forward, slowed down and stopped to look at Kenny, who was raising his hands to show that he had no hostility. If he could get the information he needed in a simpler way, Lu Minghao wouldn't mind spending some time.

"Please don't hurt me. Besides, I will prepare everything Your Excellency needs. The villagers in the village are just ordinary villagers. Please let them go!"

Kenny looked at Lu Minghao, who had stopped, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that high-level monsters were intelligent beings. Some monsters called 'Demon Kings' even established countries belonging to monsters.

In other words, monsters can communicate, but most of the time, there is no need for communication between monsters and humans, because the only outcome when they meet is either you die or I live.

But in order to survive, and for the villagers in the village, Kenny had no choice but to speak, praying that the slime in front of him was really like what it said, really wanted to get something from here, and only in this way could he and the villagers have hope of surviving.

After all, Kenny clearly felt the chilling killing intent of Lu Minghao just now. The monster in front of him really intended to slaughter the entire village.

"...Okay, but I need to get some information from you."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Minghao was silent for a few seconds and agreed to this matter, turned around and jumped onto the table, pointing to the book in front of Kenny. As for whether Lu Minghao would let go of this village, it would depend on Kenny's performance. If...

"Information, what information?"

Kenny cautiously walked to the table and asked with a hint of doubt as he looked at the book on it. It was the first time he had encountered such a monster that was interested in human books.

"Where is this place, which kingdom does it belong to? Also, what major events have happened in the world recently, such as the news of the death of the storm dragon Veldora."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao controlled the shadows to seal off the entire room, jumped to the side of the table, and carefully looked at Kenny, observing his facial expressions. When humans tell lies, there will be slight changes in their eyes or facial expressions.

As for why Lu Minghao asked about the news of the storm dragon Veldora in addition to asking which kingdom this was, it was entirely because he wanted to know if his other kind had turned into this world.

"Your Excellency, this is the Blumund Kingdom, the capital is named 'Dwargon', located west of the Jura Great Forest where the storm dragon Veldora is sealed, and part of its territory borders it. In addition, the Blumund Kingdom is also a member of the Western Nations Alliance. Its main industries are agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade with other kingdoms. In addition, there has been no major news you mentioned recently. The storm dragon Veldora is still sealed in the Jura Great Forest. Every year, adventurers go to check, and there is currently no news about the death of the storm dragon Veldora."

"In addition, our village is just a remote place inside the kingdom. If Your Excellency wants to go to the Jura Great Forest, you need to head in the direction of the rising sun."

Kenny racked his brains and said all the information he knew about the kingdom from various places, and he also deliberately emphasized the information about the storm dragon Veldora. After all, from Lu Minghao's tone just now, he could see that he cared a lot about the storm dragon Veldora.

"Blumund Kingdom... Also, the storm dragon Veldora is still not dead, which means... I still have a chance!"

Lu Minghao carefully analyzed the information he got from Kenny. Judging from his observation of Kenny's eyes and expressions just now, he should not have deceived himself. However, Lu Minghao would not believe it so easily. He would find other villages to verify it later.

In addition, if the news of the storm dragon Veldora not dying has not been spread, then it proves that the slime who was reincarnated into this world like himself has not yet appeared, then Lu Minghao's original bold idea still has a great chance.

However, regarding that idea... there are still many places that need to be improved later. After all, that is the existence known as the illegitimate son of the creation god Star Dragon King.

One more thing is that, regarding the Blumund Kingdom, if Lu Minghao remembers correctly, this is just an ordinary small country. The only feature is that on the surface, it is a country with prosperous trade and commerce, but in secret, it is a country that excels at collecting information.

In the original work, it was also relying on this ability that it was the first human kingdom to see clearly the potential of Rimuru and the Jura Tempest Federation, and established diplomatic relations and reached an alliance with it.
