Chapter 282 279 The Demonic Tide is Coming
Freedom Association Guild.
"Rimuru, it's getting late, and you probably haven't had time to buy supplies. I happen to have an extra quilt at home, I'll bring it to you later!"
"Uh, that's not necessary, it's not cold today."
"Still being polite with your aunt? It's not easy for young people to be away from home. Don't rely on being a mage and neglect your body, you'll regret it later!"
"Alright then, thank you, Aunt!"
Facing Aunt's kindness, Rimuru couldn't refuse and could only accept it.
To be honest, this feeling of being cared for was actually quite nice.
This atmosphere even gave her a sense of home!
Just then, the guild suddenly became noisy.
"Uncle Raymond is back!"
"Wow, what a fat magic-horned deer, this must be a D-rank monster. Raymond, you've hit the jackpot!"
"Treat, treat!"
Raymond was a man dressed in animal skins, with a very rugged appearance that gave off a fierce impression.
But the moment he spoke, his fierce "persona" instantly crumbled, and he became a warm man in an instant.
"No problem. I'll sell the hide and antlers of this magic-horned deer, and the meat is on me, everyone gets a share!"
Raymond was quite generous, agreeing to treat everyone the moment he spoke, and the guild instantly erupted in excitement.
Lian drooled, "Roast deer, I love it the most. Uncle Raymond, I want a double portion!"
Raymond's face hardened, and he said impolitely, "Still eating double portions? Lian, look at your mouth."
Girls are most sensitive to being told they've gained weight, and Lian was no exception!
Lian stomped her foot in anger and protested, "Uncle Raymond, you're bullying me, I haven't gained weight!"
Raymond: "I was talking about how your mouth doesn't grow no matter how much you eat, eating is useless, it's too wasteful!"
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and many even laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
Lian was also caught off guard by Raymond's old driver route, and then it was little fists pounding his mouth.
Rimuru, who was nearby, was also amused!
I have to say, the atmosphere of this guild really feels good!
After a sumptuous dinner.
Everyone left one after another, and the noisy guild became quiet.
The sky was full of stars, the night was cool as Water, and one could even hear the chirping of some insects.
Rimuru temporarily stayed in Lian's room. Since the room was in a Japanese style, laying out a futon made it a bed, so there was no inconvenience.
Lian was very talkative, even when lying on the bed, she kept chattering non-stop.
The content of the conversation was very diverse, completely speaking whatever came to mind.
One moment it was about the guild, the next it was about her two silly companions, then some adventure stories, and of course, some topics about the handsome guild master Kagurazaka Yuuki.
"Sorry, once I start talking, I can't seem to stop. You must be annoyed, right!"
Feeling that she had talked too much, Lian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"How could that be?"
Rimuru smiled, feeling that this girl was a bit cute and naive.
"This kind of late-night talk reminds me of the dorm talks I had in college, I really miss them!"
Hearing that Rimuru wasn't impatient, Lian immediately became curious, "Dorm talk, what's that?"
I guess I let something slip!
It doesn't matter anyway, there are countless "Summoners" and "Reincarnators" in this World.
When she learned that Rimuru was a Reincarnator, Lian almost jumped up in excitement!
In the subsequent conversation, Rimuru took over the topic.
Lian was quickly drawn to the World in Rimuru's words, becoming more and more excited, and completely unable to sleep.
Then, they told each other stories!
Lian yearned for Rimuru's former World, and Rimuru also found Lian's adventures very interesting.
Rimuru could even feel Lian's love for the guild from her words!
Time flowed by, and when Rimuru felt Lian's eyelids starting to droop, she decisively chose to stop the conversation.
Within a few minutes, even breathing sounds could be heard from the room.
A little while later.
Under her magic sensing skill, the entire guild was enveloped within her perception.
The serene and peaceful atmosphere made Rimuru's heart feel refreshed and at ease.
Perhaps because the magicules were peaceful, this tranquility completely eliminated the noise of industrial society and the wildness of Jotunheim.
At this moment, Rimuru suddenly felt a desire to protect this beauty!
Soon, Rimuru also fell into a dream.
However, this beautiful dream was quickly disrupted by a vibration from the ground.
The vibration was very subtle, but to Rimuru, it was like thousands of soldiers marching.
It was impossible not to startle Rimuru!
"What's wrong?"
Lian, woken up by Rimuru, was groggy, her eyes unfocused, which made Rimuru laugh despite herself.
This guy's sleeping face was too silly!
"Get up quickly, a large number of monsters are rushing towards the royal capital, we must prepare early. Otherwise, the losses will be huge!"
"What? Monsters are attacking?!"
Lian felt as if she had fallen into an icebox, instantly chilled to the bone.
She didn't even have time to put on clothes, directly opening the window, but outside, everything was calm, where were the monsters?
"The vibration, I've already felt the vibration of a large-scale monster attack. Believe me, quickly find a way to notify the other guild members to prepare for defense!"
Sensing the vibration?
Lian was a little puzzled, was this Rimuru's special ability?
There was no time to think further, Lian quickly changed her clothes, not even bothering to wash up, and rushed directly to Branch Manager Feitz's residence.
After hearing Lian's purpose, President Fitz's expression immediately became serious.
Recently, the monsters had been unusually active, and if a large-scale attack truly occurred, it would be a disaster.
But after a thorough observation, even using detection magic, President Fitz still didn't feel any abnormality.
This made President Fitz wonder if this was a "boy who cried wolf" story.
But the one who came to speak was Lian, and the source of the news was Rimuru, which made Branch Manager Feitz have to take it seriously!
The midnight bell rang.
The entire royal capital was startled.
Adventurers, guards, close guards, and even ordinary residents picked up their tools and gathered at the city walls.
It must be said that as a country close to the Jura Great Forest, they were quite experienced in dealing with monster attacks.
The assembly efficiency was also quite high!
But what stunned everyone was that even after everyone had assembled, there was still no trace of the monsters.
Not only that, but this time continued to lengthen!
This made everyone wonder if they had been tricked.
But this complaining didn't last for a few minutes, as more and more people began to feel the abnormality.
There really were monsters attacking!
Everyone couldn't help but look at Rimuru, who provided the information, and were all filled with admiration.
Even Branch Manager Feitz, the strongest here, was greatly surprised.
To have sensed the monsters' presence almost half an hour before their arrival, who exactly is Rimuru?
The range of her perception was a bit too vast!
However, as time passed, more and more people fell into a daze.
The number of monsters was simply too many!
They came in droves, just like a large-scale beast tide.
There were hundreds of monsters that many adventurers could name.
As for the monsters they couldn't name, they were countless.
Everyone was completely bewildered!
With such a large-scale beast tide, would the Blumund Kingdom be directly wiped off the map by the monsters?!
