Slime simulator

The streets of the royal city of the Cartel Kingdom were crisscrossed in all directions. Suke and the two sisters, Lucida and Dani, strolled for more than five hours, but still didn't finish exploring even as it grew dark.

Along the way, the two girls chattered non-stop, looking at this and looking at that.

After all, they were girls. Whether it was Dani or Lucy, who was an orc, they had no resistance to glittering, gorgeous ornaments and beautiful clothes.

Following behind, Suke watched them try on clothes one by one, feasting his eyes.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, he bought everything amidst the cheers of the two girls.

Seeing that it was getting late and the two girls were tired, Suke took them back the way they came.

Back at the tavern, Suke let the two girls go in first.

After that, Suke looked at the roof, "Kara, how's the situation?"

Kara jumped down and came to Suke, "Your trip out attracted the attention of more than forty people, including three seventh-order experts."

Suke smiled, "Did you take care of them all?"

Kara nodded slightly, "It's taken care of, but it should have attracted the attention of the royal family.

Don't go out these next two days."

Suke hummed in agreement, "Let's go, let's go in."

Entering the tavern with Kara, Suke returned to his room.

According to the simulation, he would be summoned to the royal family tomorrow.

"I need to get through this quickly and go to the Flame Forest to pull out the giant sword."

"The power of the giant sword..."

Suke narrowed his eyes.

Even if he couldn't pull it out for his own use, he could use the simulation to continuously improve his strength.

Now, he was at the tenth level of the sixth order, and the next step was the seventh order.

For others, the next step from the tenth level of the sixth order was the peak of the sixth order.

From the peak of the sixth order, the next step was the seventh order.

For ordinary experts, going from the tenth level of the sixth order to the peak of the sixth order was already a threshold.

But for him, the peak of the sixth order was just 99% experience at the tenth level of the sixth order, without any difficulty.

For him, there was at most a bottleneck in upgrading.

But as he devoured more treasures, he hadn't felt the existence of a bottleneck for a long time.

Suke knew that the bottleneck still existed, but it wasn't something he needed to explore now.

...

The night passed quickly.

Dawn arrived.

Suke was woken up.

The person who came to wake Suke was Emilia.

Her face was filled with anger.

"Kern, an envoy from the Cartel Kingdom has arrived, asking us to enter the palace."

A moment later, Suke understood the reason for Emilia's anger.

In the etiquette of the Cartel Kingdom, receiving noble envoys and kings from other countries was done in the evening, with banquets held to show respect.

Only when they were in their own country, summoning some medium and large domestic forces, would they choose to do so in the morning.

Such behavior.

Was completely disregarding the Kern Duchy.

Suke waved his hand, "From the perspective of subordination, we are just a vassal state of the Cartel Kingdom. What they do is their business. We just need to do our own thing."

Emilia looked at Suke, her eyes flickering.

A few days ago, on the magic airship, the slime in front of her was still clamoring to conquer the Cartel Kingdom. Why was he so cowardly now?

Kara's eyes glanced at the roof.

On the roof, there was a seventh-order royal expert listening.

Taking only Kara with him, Suke entered the royal palace.

Compared to the royal palace of the Kern Duchy, which was carefully planned by Suke, the royal palace of the Cartel Kingdom seemed very formalized.

It was similar to the royal palaces of other countries. The biggest difference was that the overall building area was larger, and more magic arrays were laid inside the palace.

Other than that, there were no other changes.

Entering the main hall of the palace, Suke saw Minister Gita and King Harold of the Cartel Kingdom, whom he had seen several times in the simulation but never met in person.

The king was very young. From Suke's perspective, he was at most in his early thirties.

This age was considered young among ordinary humans, but among people who practiced magic, it was simply too young.

Suke was sure that this guy was definitely not as young as he looked on the surface.

People who practiced magic would have their appearance become youthful and their aging slow down.

Harold glanced at Suke and said lightly, "You are the beast king?"

Suke performed a noble etiquette, "Kern, King of the Kern Duchy, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Harold nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, a tall, thin man in a minister's attire next to Harold spoke.

His eagle-like eyes stared straight at Suke.

In his eyes, Suke felt a strong, undisguised killing intent.

This killing intent seemed to penetrate Suke's soul and body, completely shattering them.

Suke's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward.

This step was like a weight of ten thousand pounds pressing down on him. With each step, nearly half of his magic power was directly consumed.

Gita snorted coldly, "Since you are a beast, why transform into a human form?

What? Do you think your animal status is not worthy of standing in this hall?"

If Emilia were here, she would have exploded upon hearing these words.

But Suke would not at all.

Coming all the way from the Flame Forest, Suke knew that life and death did not depend on eloquence.

"Minister Gita is joking."

"I am meeting Your Majesty in human form to show my respect to Your Majesty."

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I will transform back to my original form."

Harold waved his hand, "Minister Gita, say less. Don't scare this little slime."

After speaking, he looked at Suke, "Just speak to me in your original slime form."

Upon hearing this, Suke returned to his slime form and jumped into Kara's arms.

Gita then laughed loudly.

"A slime dares to be the king of a human kingdom. If this is said, how will other kingdoms view our Cartel Kingdom?"

Suke slowly said, "Other kingdoms will only think that His Majesty Harold is governing well and is tolerant.

Even a kingdom ruled by a beast can be brought under his command. Isn't this a manifestation of ability?"

Harold nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That makes sense.

Kern, you did not notify in advance, and you attacked the Fells Duchy without permission, and then you crowned yourself without consent."

"Originally... I intended to punish you."

"But seeing that your statement is reasonable, the crime is waived.

But the penalty cannot be less.

I will punish you with double the tribute within ten years. Do you have any objection?"

Suke saluted again, "Kern has no objection! Thank you, Your Majesty."

Harold nodded, "Alright, go back."

Gita glanced at Harold and said nothing more.

Suke left the palace with Kara.

After leaving the palace for a distance, Kara spoke, her voice filled with surprise, "This seems a little different from what I remember."

In her memory, there was a confrontation.

But now, there was none.

Suke looked at the sun in the sky and smiled.

"There is no predetermined ending. We can conquer fate."

"Kingdoms are not permanent either... are they?"

Kara looked at Suke and smiled.

"Before, a mere kingdom king was nothing in my eyes."

"However, you are a bit unusual today."

Suke smiled and said nothing.

Isn't it good to be a little more cautious, a little more cowardly, live a little longer, and then take them down?
