Chapter 285 282: Tree Fairy Treyni
Unlike the Marvel Universe, the Cardinal World is limited by its technological level, so information spreads much slower.
But where there's a demand, there's a way to spread it.
Even in ancient China, there was the 800-li urgent dispatch where horses were changed but riders were not, let alone this World with magic?
There are always more solutions than difficulties!
Guild Master Fitz of the Free Guild Association's Blumund branch tied the written letter to the leg of a trained owl, and then released the messenger owl.
Watching the Shadow slowly disappear into the sky, the messenger owl not being intercepted, Guild Master Fitz's brow furrowed slightly.
Hopefully, this owl can deliver the letter to My Lord Yuuki, the President!
Regarding Rimuru, he has too many doubts he wants to report to My Lord Yuuki.
When he first met Rimuru, the faint aura emanating from Rimuru left a deep impression on him.
Secondly, Rimuru never admitted she was a "Hero," and even kept saying she was a Demon Lord.
What exactly does this mean?
From the current situation, Rimuru's actions appear to be entirely benevolent, but a heavy weight still pressed on Feitz's heart.
Rimuru's power is truly terrifying!
As for what she hasn't revealed, he has to be on guard!
Also, what exactly happened in the Jura Great Forest?
Why did it cause a large-scale monster surge riot?
One thing after another left Feitz overwhelmed.
What Feitz didn't know was that today, the appearance of the Hero caused a sudden increase in the number of messenger owls appearing over Blumund.
It was even dozens of times the usual amount!
And one of these owls belonged to the Luminus Church's Blumund branch.
Regarding the Hero, ordinary people don't know, but the core members of the Luminus Church know some inside information.
For the Luminus Church, Heroes are actually their chosen spokespersons.
Because most of the Otherworlders are summoned by the Luminas Church's Seven Luminaries Elders.
And the most famous of these, the "Seven Luminaries Trial," is a trial specifically for selecting heroes or Heroes.
Currently, the most well-known hero is Sakaguchi Hinata, the commander of the Holy Empire of Ruberios's Holy Knight Order and the head of the Ten Great Sages.
She is the most outstanding junior trained by the Seven Luminaries teachers, having passed the "Seven Luminaries Trial" with brilliant results.
If a new Hero truly appeared in this World, it would undoubtedly be a new spokesperson launched by the Luminus Church.
Upon arriving in Blumund, they would certainly be informed in advance.
Even if they didn't give a heads-up, they would at least contact them.
But the current situation is simply too abnormal!
Feeling the owls flapping their wings and flying away one by one, Rimuru smiled and didn't take it to heart.
At her level, there aren't many things left that require her serious consideration.
What's more, she also holds five Infinity Stones—Space, Time, and Reality—which are simply rogue-like abilities.
Even if the Star Dragon King, the creator god, were to revive, she would not feel the slightest fear.
Currently, in this World, she is mostly eating, drinking, and having fun.
It's actually quite nice if someone is willing to add a little fun to her life!
The ice sculptures sealing the monsters brought immense shock to the migrating monsters of the Jura Great Forest.
Countless monsters lingered at the forest entrance but dared not cross the line.
However, as the pressure from deep within the forest grew, the monsters gathered at the forest entrance also accumulated like a snowball, growing larger and larger.
Every monster became increasingly agitated!
Time flew by, and three days passed in a flash.
The high prestige brought obvious benefits.
Rimuru's food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all perfectly arranged, everything was of the highest standard.
Almost everyone who saw her had a look of fanaticism on their faces.
As the pressure from the monster surge at the forest's edge increased, this fanaticism did not decrease but rather intensified.
Over the three days, more and more news about the monster riots and migrations in the Jura Great Forest spread, and everyone's nerves became tighter day by day.
Especially the occasional roars of beasts, which constantly agitated everyone's sensitive nerves.
If it weren't for Rimuru's presence, which gave everyone immense courage and encouragement, the city might have already fallen into great panic.
Even so, a large number of people still joined the exodus every day.
In three days, countless owls flew out and flew back.
The messages that needed to be sent had almost all been sent.
Reinforcements must be on their way, but the Blumund Kingdom could no longer wait.
Not only the common people, but even the high and mighty King began to feel restless.
The sheer number of monsters gathering was too terrifying!
Royal Palace.
President Fitz of the Free Guild Association, Rimuru, and the commander of the Imperial Guard were all summoned to attend the meeting on defending the capital against monsters.
To be honest, meeting her was not as impressive as her reputation.
After meeting the King, Rimuru's first impression was that he "did not look like a sovereign."
At the meeting, Rimuru received the highest level of hospitality.
Everyone was polite, but Rimuru could still sense the arrogance of the King, and even of the nobles.
How to describe it?
Their respect was very deliberate!
It was the kind where they temporarily needed to use Rimuru, this super-strong "Hero," and then they had no choice but to "condescend to the wise."
Although Rimuru didn't take it to heart, looking at those pot-bellied nobles, to be honest, she was a bit displeased.
"Report!"
A guard rushed in.
Seeing the guard rushing in, the Old King was startled and immediately lost his composure, "What's going on?"
"Could it be… could it be that the capital's defenses are about to be breached? What should we do! What should we do?!"
Not only the King, but all the high-ranking and powerful nobles also panicked!
"Hero, My Lord Hero, as long as you escort us safely, no matter how much money you want, we are willing to give it!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Hero, you are so strong, you can definitely protect us. As long as you can protect us, I will make you a minister!"
"That's right! That's right!"
Rimuru was speechless, truly a King and ministers of a doomed nation!
It made her somewhat not want to act!
Seeing Rimuru's slightly changed expression, President Fitz inwardly thought it was bad and quickly interrupted the King and ministers' ugly display of granting titles and promotions.
"King, you might have misunderstood. How could those monsters dare to easily break through the ice sculpture deterrent set by My Lord Hero?"
Without waiting for the King and others to react, Feitz asked the guard who was still kneeling on the ground, "What exactly is the matter? Report it quickly!"
The guard, trembling with fear, quickly spoke, "Reporting to the King, it's… it's Dryad Treyni sending us a message, hoping to meet My Lord Hero!"
"A Dryad?!"
The guard's words instantly caught everyone's attention.
Dryads are not human, but they are also different from ordinary monsters; they love peace and have almost never had disputes with humans.
Most importantly, the beauty of Dryads is famous!
Countless poets and novelists have sung the praises of Dryads' beauty!
But unfortunately, Dryads have almost never revealed themselves to the World.
As a result, most humans thought Dryads were fictional and not real.
What they never expected was that Dryads actually existed and specifically requested an audience.
The King said impatiently, "Please, quickly invite her in!"
Just then, a soft green light suddenly illuminated the royal palace, and a couple of green leaves drifted down.
Greenish-blue vines with pink flower buds grew rapidly at a visible speed.
A large number of vines entwined together, forming an emerald green vine cocoon, and a girl wrapped in a soft green light emerged from the cocoon.
Just like a beauty emerging from a bath, the Dryad girl who emerged from the cocoon also brought an unimaginable visual feast to everyone.
She had waist-length goose-yellow hair and extremely delicate features.
Her willow eyebrows, pupils, hair, and even the tight-fitting dress on her body were all green.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not be able to pull it off, and it would seem a bit monochromatic.
But on the Dryad, different shades of green were perfectly matched, further highlighting her fair and tender skin to the fullest.
As for the chili-red necklace ornament she wore around her neck, it added countless charms to her.
In an instant, everyone was attracted by the Dryad's completely different temperament and beauty compared to humans.
Even Rimuru was no exception.
Unlike a paper person, the real-life Toreini's beauty did not disappoint her at all; instead, she felt even more impressed.
It's like looking at a photo; it never has the same impact as seeing the Real Person.
This kind of three-dimensional impact is sometimes unimaginable!
"Someone, grant her a seat!"
The King said impatiently.
However, the Dryad ignored the King and instead stood in front of Rimuru, bowing respectfully with a curtsy.
"My Lord Demon Lord Rimuru, I am Dryad Treyni. I apologize for my sudden visit; please forgive my rashness!"
"De… Demon Lord?!"
Hearing Treyni's words, the King and the nobles were all stunned.
One elderly grand noble even fell to the ground with a thud and fainted.
As for President Fitz of the Free Guild Association, he immediately stood in front of the King.
But at this moment, his forehead and back were already cold.
As for the bishop of the Luminas Church, he was so scared that he doubted his life.
Not a Hero, but a Demon Lord! Luminas Goddess above, he didn't want to die yet!
Rimuru looked at Dryad Treyni with some exasperation; this little Dryad was clearly doing it on purpose.
Treyni had no intention of hiding it either, winking her beautiful eyes at Rimuru and mischievously saying, "Did the 'splendid performance' of the King and nobles make My Lord Rimuru feel a little more relaxed?"
Rimuru chuckled, "You're thoughtful!"
Treyni smiled mischievously, "To be able to bring a smile to My Lord Demon Lord, Treyni is deeply honored!"
Rimuru: "…"
Why did that sound so strange?
