Chapter 286 283: Eating and Drinking Freely, Treyni

The Royal Palace.

"Treyni, would you like some?"

Rimuru smiled at Treyni, picked up a piece of dried fruit, bit into it, and asked, confused.

Treyni was startled but then smiled radiantly.

"Since it's Rimuru-sama's request, Treyni will respectfully obey!"

Crunch!

Treyni picked up a potato chip and happily ate it.

Rimuru smiled, Treyni truly lived up to her reputation as a Dryad who freeloaded food and drinks, deeply understanding the "freeloading" way.

As long as it caught her eye, she would never let it go easily.

And she had to eat elegantly and drink gracefully, completely disregarding what others thought!

However, Treyni's eating manner was truly pleasing to the eye!

Happiness is contagious, what's the point of just watching others eat?

Soon, the Royal Palace was filled with "crunch, crunch" sounds, like two little hamsters competing to eat nuts.

Unlike Rimuru and Treyni, who were happily enjoying delicious food and black tea, the Old King, the ministers, and the generals were almost driven mad.

How dare they feast and drink in the Royal Palace, these detestable Demon Lords, they truly didn't put the King and nobles in their eyes!

But they truly didn't dare to make a move!

Eating is eating, drinking is drinking, but the main business still needed to be done.

Treyni: "My Lord, Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest, I, Treyni, on behalf of the Dryad race of the Jura Great Forest, would like to ask you to defeat the Orc lord!"

"Orc lord?"

"The Dryad has confirmed the existence of the Orc lord?!"

As soon as Treyni spoke, the entire Royal Palace instantly erupted in an uproar.

Regarding the Orc lord, there were many records in human ancient texts.

Almost every few hundred years, there would be records about the Orc lord, who was even called the "Calamity Monster that brings chaos to the World."

Compared to a Demon Lord, the Orc lord was relatively weaker.

But he commanded an unimaginable number of troops, which swept through everything like a plague of locusts, devouring everything.

The extent of his destruction, to some degree, even surpassed many powerful Demon Lords.

Historically, every time a Orc lord was born, it caused large-scale casualties.

Every successful defeat came at an extremely heavy price!

Therefore, the Orc lord's reputation truly made people tremble with fear.

What should be done?!

The King and the ministers simultaneously panicked, completely losing their composure.

With the strength of the Blumund Kingdom, trying to defeat the Orc lord was simply wishful thinking.

It was highly likely that before aid from other great nations arrived, the Kingdom would have already become food for the Orc lord's army!

Treyni stood up and bowed respectfully.

"My Lord Rimuru, I beg you, please defeat the Orc lord!"

Inside the Royal Palace, everyone looked at Rimuru simultaneously.

As humans, at such a critical moment, they actually had to place their last hope in a sworn enemy, a Demon Lord.

It was truly a great humiliation!

But at this moment, hope arose in everyone's hearts, hoping that Rimuru would accept Dryad Treyni's request.

Although Rimuru had only made one move before, her power had already been etched into everyone's hearts.

Of course, if Demon Lord Rimuru and the Orc lord could perish together, that would be even better!

The Orc lord was a monster with a formidable reputation, and while Rimuru was strong, she had only just emerged.

Rimuru looked at Treyni and said with a smile, "As a Demon Lord, no matter how presumptuous the Orc lord is, he wouldn't dare to offend my dignity. Treyni, please give me a reason to act!"

Did she refuse?!

The King and ministers inside felt a chill in their hearts, she had clearly acted directly three days ago.

Why did she suddenly refuse now?!

One must know that it was the Orc lord, and they wouldn't distinguish between monsters or humans.

Everything was their food!

As expected of a Demon Lord, even if she showed a moment of kindness, she wouldn't change her evil nature.

Facing Rimuru's challenge, Dryad Treyni calmly picked up a potato chip, bit into it, and said, "The prophet fairy in our village told me that the Jura Great Forest is destined to be your Demon Nation, My Lord Rimuru. The Dryad race is also destined to be one of your subordinates, My Lord Rimuru, you will definitely act. Right!"

Cuteness is shameful!

Rimuru rolled her eyes, Treyni, this cunning Dryad, was definitely doing it on purpose.

"The Dryad's prophet once predicted that Rimuru is destined to bring the Jura Great Forest under her command?!"

"What a joke?"

"How can one allow others to sleep soundly next to their bed!"

Thinking that the Blumund Kingdom was about to welcome such a powerful "neighbor" as Rimuru, the King and ministers suddenly felt uneasy.

Even Guild Master Fitz, who usually had an excellent mindset, couldn't sit still!

Where did this Demon Lord Rimuru come from anyway?

How did she become a Demon Lord as soon as she appeared?

One must know that not every monster could be called a "Demon Lord."

In the monster World, the hierarchy was even stricter than in the human World.

Not only low-level monsters, but even most demon people didn't have names!

Only after being given a name by a powerful monster could they be called "Named Monsters."

But the gap between Named Monsters and Demon Lords was like a chasm.

Even the weakest monster could entertain themselves by calling themselves a Demon Lord, but the premise was that other Demon Lords shouldn't know.

Claiming to be a Demon Lord without sufficient strength was almost seeking death!

Legend has it that the birth of any new Demon Lord required the recognition of other Demon Lords.

Otherwise, without human intervention, other Demon Lords would directly eliminate those who were unqualified but called themselves Demon Lords.

Currently, there were only ten recognized Demon Lords, and they were respectfully referred to as the "Ten Great Demon Lords."

President Fitz confirmed that Rimuru was not among the Ten Great Demon Lords.

But the Dryad kept calling Rimuru a Demon Lord, and Rimuru didn't deny it—it was too strange!

Not only that, the usually proud Dryad race even openly declared their submission—how was that possible?

How did Rimuru manage to do that?!

Before Rimuru could speak, Treyni added, "My Lord Rimuru, currently, the Orc lord's army is sweeping through the Jura Great Forest. Monsters and humans alike are in great danger. This includes many people whose destinies are deeply intertwined with yours, you will definitely act, right!"

Crunch!

After Treyni finished speaking, she picked up the last potato chip from the plate and happily bit into it.

It seemed as if she had Rimuru completely figured out!

"Yes, I will act!"

In fact, even if Treyni hadn't come to entrust her, she would have acted.

Shion, Shuna, Souei, Ranga, White—Rimuru had considerable expectations and fondness for them!

The only regrettable thing was Miss Shizue!

Receiving Rimuru's acknowledgment, Treyni smiled and said, "Then, the request is fulfilled, everything is entrusted to My Lord Rimuru! When defeating the Orc lord, My Lord Rimuru might even get some surprises!"

"Surprises? What surprises?"

Treyni: "That's a sec-ret, oh! If I tell you, the surprise won't be a surprise anymore, My Lord Rimuru, please look forward to it!"

After saying this, Treyni turned, intending to leave.

But at this moment, Treyni was astonished to find that space seemed to solidify, and she couldn't disappear.

Treyni was surprised, although she had long known that Rimuru was strong, she hadn't expected that Rimuru could solidify space with a single thought.

Too amazing!

Treyni asked, confused, "My Lord Rimuru, what is this?"

Rimuru smiled, "Were the potato chips delicious?"

Treyni was surprised, then smiled elegantly, "Extremely delicious, thank you, My Lord Rimuru, for your hospitality."

The King was furiously impotent.

What Rimuru's hospitality, it was clearly made by the Royal Palace's chef, it should be his hospitality!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Rimuru turned and said to the King, "Treyni feels the potato chips are very delicious, please, Your Majesty the King, prepare more for her."

The King: ""

Minister: ""

President Fitz: ""

Bishop: ""

Freeloading was one thing, but also asking for a take-out, that's too much!

Treyni smiled radiantly, her favorability towards Rimuru increased by +1, +1, +1,
