Demon Country Federation.
"Gobta, ah!"
Shion held a wooden spoon, smiling sweetly, like an extremely gentle and caring girlfriend, very interestingly feeding her boyfriend.
Gobta looked at the purple blob in the spoon, and large beads of sweat continuously seeped from his face.
Because of Shion's cooking, he had now evolved poison resistance.
But Shion's cooking was just getting more and more poisonous!
That mixed strange poison was a hundred times more terrifying than the venom of a highly venomous centipede.
Gobta, with a strong will to survive, said, "Shion, Rimuru-sama has already said that you are not allowed in the kitchen."
"Rimuru-sama?!"
At the mention of this, Shion immediately bristled, her anger burning, "Rimuru-sama also said that I was her First Secretary. What happened? She just ran off with Shizue without a word!"
"Gobta, it's useless to bring up Rimuru-sama. Ah, open your mouth!"
Gobta covered his mouth with both hands, instinctively backing away, but after only a few steps, he hit the wall.
Could it be that Rimuru-sama had just left, and he was going to die by Shion's hand?
"My companion, come save me!"
But as soon as Ranga showed his head and saw Shion's spoonful of poisonous concoction, he decisively turned and left.
Shion smiled, "Gobta, Ranga has already run away. Even if you scream your throat out today, it's useless!"
Looking at the dish emitting purplish-brown gas, Gobta despaired.
Was a genius, even recognized by Rimuru-sama, going to die young?
Just then, the Demon Country Federation rang with "clang," "clang," "clang" of bells.
Shion and Gobta froze simultaneously. Was there an enemy invasion?
Without a word, the two immediately ran towards the outskirts of the town.
By the time they arrived, half of the core personnel of the Demon Country Federation had already gathered.
"Misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding!"
"I am not your enemy, but I represent the King to deliver a national letter to My Lord Rimuru, the ruler of the Demon Country Federation!"
"National letter?"
Benimaru, Hakuro, Shion, Gobta, and others all looked at each other.
Since the establishment of their nation in the Jura Great Forest, this was the first time they had encountered such a King-level diplomatic exchange.
But Rimuru-sama was not here!
What to do?
The few of them couldn't help but communicate through thought transmission.
William Adolf: "I know, I know. For diplomatic exchanges, the most important thing is to show the good side of the country."
"The good side?"
William said proudly, "That's right. For example, good development, a powerful country, and happy people!"
"I see, I see!"
Shion and Benimaru all nodded in understanding.
In that case!
Boom!
Shion raised her magicules to the extreme, Benimaru activated his Demon Lord's Aura, and Hakuro directly revealed the might of an Awakened Demon Lord.
Then, the Dwarf Kingdom's delegation all foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious.
Shion smiled, looking like she had done a good deed and wanted to be praised.
"William, this should be enough, right!"
William Adolf: "..."
Half a day later.
The envoy from the Dwarf Kingdom, whose legs were still trembling slightly, slowly arrived on the main street of the Central Capital, led by Gobta.
"My Lord Envoy, this is the most prosperous street in our Demon Country Federation's Central Capital!"
The Dwarf Kingdom, an economic and military power with a population of fifty million, had its capital, Saint Entral, which was extremely prosperous.
His horizons were naturally very high!
But at this moment, how could he dare to say no!
Before his mission, he knew that the Demon Country Federation had many strong individuals, but he never expected that the Demon Country Federation's atmosphere would be so fierce.
They gave him a warning as soon as he arrived; how could he dare to disobey?
But as he walked, the envoy began to feel something different.
The streets of the Demon Country Federation were truly too clean, and the commercial atmosphere was too strong.
Pedestrians of different customs, races, professions, and classes came and went in an endless stream.
What surprised him most was that a commoner woman was actually choosing clothes with a noblewoman in the same shop.
How could that noblewoman endure such humiliation?
After observing for a while, the envoy was surprised to find that the noblewoman didn't seem to feel any humiliation at all; instead, she seemed to be enjoying it.
This was truly unexpected!
Gobta, who was good at observing people's expressions, smiled and said, "My Lord Envoy, are you interested in the clothes here? You have good taste; most of the clothing in this shop is designed by My Lord Rimuru, and then created by My Lady Shuna. It's very popular right now!"
The envoy said in shock, "Designed by My Lord Rimuru?"
Seeing the envoy's shock, Gobta couldn't help but feel proud.
"That's right. My Lord Rimuru is very knowledgeable; there's nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it!"
Seeing Gobta's deeply convinced expression, the envoy couldn't help but be secretly alarmed.
The position of a King in the hearts of the people, in some respects, represents the foundation of the country's rule.
Leaving aside Rimuru's strength, Gobta's heartfelt devotion also reflected Rimuru's personal charisma.
The envoy couldn't help but quietly raise his evaluation of Rimuru by several points!
"What is that?"
The envoy pointed to a certain building among them and asked curiously.
Gobta immediately looked and explained, "That's called a Police Station; it's specially established to maintain public order in the city."
"Police Station? That should be similar to the knights and squire knights led by noble lords, right!"
"You're wrong about that."
Gobta shook his head and patiently explained the composition, division of labor, and functions of the Police Station to the envoy.
The more the envoy listened, the more shocked he became.
The Police Station was connected to a Police system, funded by the state, and Rimuru was completely abolishing the privileges of the nobility!
The envoy felt that this World might not be peaceful in the future!
Equality between nobles and commoners, just shouting slogans was one thing, but Rimuru had also come up with effective solutions.
Rimuru had unleashed a Demon Lord even more terrifying than the Orc lord!
Fighting Arena.
Hearing Gobta's explanation, the envoy once again felt his worldview refreshed.
Being able to fully open a mirror space, no matter how the battle inside tore the heavens and earth apart, it would not affect reality.
What kind of profound method was this?
Under the allure of fame and fortune from the Heaven, Earth, and Human rankings, who knew how many talents from all over the World could be gathered.
These masters from all over the World were essentially training for the Demon Country Federation for free.
"The betting is open, the betting is open! Dragonnewt master South Spear odds 99; Pigman Pig Head General odds 15! Place your bets, place your bets. Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come again; if you don't bet now, you'll lose your chance!"
"Gabiru-sama's identical trident, now on sale at a discount!"
"Limited edition Rimuru-sama figurines, get them before they're gone!"
The shouts of vendors all around were rampant and incredibly lively.
In just a short while, the envoy saw transactions totaling nearly one hundred thousand gold coins.
This startled the envoy; this was no small business; this was simply a gold-swallowing beast!
And, Rimuru's figurines?
What the hell?
Rimuru was a King; could her divine appearance be made into toys and sold?
Isn't that too disrespectful?
Hearing the envoy's confusion, Gobta laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? My Lord Rimuru is very good; this kind of small matter is nothing at all!"
Hearing Gobta's explanation, the envoy's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
For a moment, he felt he didn't know how to evaluate Rimuru.
She clearly didn't display much majesty, yet her majesty remained undiminished.
The envoy felt his mind confused; this was almost contrary to the education he had received since childhood.
Approaching evening.
Gobta led the envoy to try the delicacies of the Demon Country Federation, and the envoy's appetite was greatly stimulated; he felt as if his tongue was about to be swallowed.
The richness of the dishes greatly broadened the envoy's horizons.
Many cooking methods like steaming, boiling, stir-frying, pan-frying, and deep-frying were simply unheard of by him.
And that delicacy called hot pot was even more highly praised by many diners.
In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the envoy witnessed a Demon Country Federation that was completely different from what he had imagined.
Was this really a country that had been established for less than a year?
Before coming, the envoy thought that the Demon Country Federation was just a country supported by a few powerful individuals.
But now it seemed that this was not the case at all.
Here, masters and key figures were all present; even if all the high-ranking officials were gone, it could still be called a powerful nation.
Domestically, at least in the Central Capital, the economy was active, and various goods emerged almost endlessly.
Humans, demons, nobles, and commoners all lived together in harmony and friendship.
It had strength, it had wealth—it was too terrifying!
Where on earth did Rimuru come from?
If the Demon Country Federation were given a few more decades, or even a hundred years, could the royal power and noble privileges of other countries continue to be maintained?
The envoy did not believe that human hearts could withstand the test!
It was fine if they hadn't seen it, but once they had, a stark contrast would be formed.
What exactly was Rimuru planning to do?
Thinking of the 'Code of Laws' that had already spread widely across the continent, the envoy's heart sank.
Was Rimuru playing a grand game?
