Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

The fortress city of E-Rantel is the largest city located on the border of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Countless adventurers set off from here to begin their adventures. It is also the center of many nearby villages and towns. It can be said that this is one of the most important cities in the Re-Estize Kingdom, and the gateway to the kingdom's territory.

At noon, the stone-paved streets are crowded with people passing by. The sounds of workers unloading goods, the idle chatter of people buying vegetables, the playful noises of children running past on both sides of the street, and the clanging of weapons and armor as many adventurers walk by, all kinds of sounds intertwine to form an incomparably prosperous scene.

"Do you want to eat?"

On the side of the street, Lu Minghao handed the snack he casually bought from a roadside stall to Yuri, who was widening her big eyes, seemingly unable to get enough of the scene. Although she had seen similar scenes in the royal capital, everything here in E-Rantel, located on the kingdom's border, seemed completely different.

This made Yuri, who had grown up in an ordinary village since childhood, feel that everything was so new, and she couldn't get enough of looking at it.

"Thank you, Master."

On the side, Yuri, who was still staring intently at the adventurers passing by not far away, subconsciously took the bun handed to her when she heard Lu Minghao's voice, grabbed one and started eating it. The full meat filling and the just right taste made Yuri involuntarily speed up her eating.

"By the way, Master, aren't we going to that Carne Village? Why are we here?"

After eating almost everything in her hand, Yuri raised her head and curiously looked at Lu Minghao while sucking on her oily fingers. They could have flown directly to Carne Village, so why did Lu Minghao stop here?

"Because I saw an interesting person."

Lu Minghao looked at Yuri, who was widening her big eyes and looking at him, and smiled. When he was in the sky before, Lu Minghao saw a team of soldiers rushing towards E-Rantel. It was only after noticing the man in red armor at the front of the team that Lu Minghao decided to stop here temporarily.

"Interesting person?"

Yuri tilted her head and looked at the bustling pedestrians around her, not finding anyone interesting at all.

Just as Yuri was looking around, a noisy sound suddenly came from the crowd not far away. Many ordinary residents were gathering towards that side. In the center of the crowd, a pair of extremely elite soldiers were being surrounded by them. At the front of the soldiers, a man with a resolute face was talking with a faint smile on his face.

"The strongest warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Warrior-Captain Gazef Stronoff."

Lu Minghao raised his head, looked at Warrior-Captain Gazef, who was surrounded by the crowd, and smiled softly, directly walking towards that side. Yuri on the side quickly followed, taking the opportunity to wipe her oily and saliva-covered hands on his clothes when passing by pedestrians unnoticed.

"Everyone, please rest assured, I will definitely..."

After Lu Minghao brought Yuri closer, he heard the Warrior-Captain guaranteeing something to the many civilians around him. His tall stature and resolute face gave people a feeling of confidence in what he said. Under his influence, the many anxious and desperate civilians around him gradually quieted down.

At this time, other residents passing by showed expressions of sympathy or indifference when they saw this scene. Upon closer inspection, it would be found that those with sympathy or indifference on their faces were more radiant in terms of clothing and temperament compared to the civilians surrounding Gazef and the soldiers.

However, this was also a very normal thing. Almost all of the civilians surrounding Gazef were villagers who had fled from their own villages, and they were the lucky ones. Compared to them, more villagers had been completely slaughtered before they could escape.

Since a few months ago, a group of heavily armored and extremely elite troops suddenly emerged on the border of the Re-Estize Kingdom. These soldiers roamed the border of the Re-Estize Kingdom like the Grim Reaper. Whenever they encountered a village, they would slaughter it completely, and then burn the entire village into ruins.

In just a few months, a large number of villages were completely destroyed under the iron hooves and swords of these soldiers, and many villagers were killed at will. Only a few villagers were able to escape to E-Rantel alive.

Regarding this matter, it was also reported to the royal capital not long ago. After understanding the situation, the kingdom immediately decided to send Gazef, the kingdom's strongest warrior-captain, to lead elite soldiers to crusade against the army that was destroying everything.

However, the king's decision was opposed by the absolute majority of nobles in the kingdom, because the equipment on Gazef, the warrior-captain, was the strongest equipment passed down through generations in the kingdom. Those nobles were worried that if Gazef was killed in this expedition, these equipment would be snatched away.

But in reality, this was just a conspiracy by these nobles to eliminate Gazef, a thorn in their side. After all, Gazef, as the kingdom's strongest warrior-captain, only served the old king. In addition, his commoner background, personality, and strength completely made these nobles, who had long secretly wanted to divide the king's power, determined to kill him.

This time, the army wandering on the border was a conspiracy secretly colluded by these nobles with other kingdoms, intending to design and kill Gazef. Not allowing Gazef to wear the kingdom's strongest equipment was also to weaken his combat power, making it easier to kill him.

As for those innocent villagers who died in this plan, those nobles didn't care at all, just mere commoners.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Gazef, who had just appeased the villagers around him, suddenly noticed the gaze looking at him not far away. When he looked over, he found that a black-haired, black-headed teenager was looking towards this side, with a warm smile like sunshine on his handsome face. Beside the teenager, a blue-haired girl who looked dull was staring intently at the snack stalls on both sides of the street.

"May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

In the next second, Gazef showed a friendly smile on his face and asked Lu Minghao. Although he was the kingdom's strongest warrior-captain and led the most elite soldiers under the king, Gazef still looked kind and upright.

"It's nothing."

Lu Minghao raised his hand and waved at Gazef. He quite appreciated this man with his own beliefs and persistence, but that was all. If he stood in the way of Lu Minghao's plan, then at most he would give him a decent death at that time.

However, encountering Gazef in E-Rantel this time also made Lu Minghao confirm one thing, that is, the current Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown has not yet crossed over to this world, and is still a corporate slave in the original world, but the time for Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown to come to this world is not long.

'Interesting, in the original story, Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown fought wits and courage with the air alone. This time, let him not have to play with the air.'

Thinking of this, Lu Minghao pulled Yuri beside him and left directly. However, Yuri, who was being pulled away by Lu Minghao, was still staring intently at the snack stalls on the street, her little face full of reluctance. She also planned to take a good look at how these snacks were made and make them for her sister and master when she returned.

"Strange person."

Looking at Lu Minghao, who left without hesitation, Gazef subconsciously said something. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that this wouldn't be his first meeting with that teenager, and they would meet again in the future.

On the other side, after getting the information he wanted from Gazef, Lu Minghao already understood that there was no need to go to Carne Village anymore. After all, his initial decision to go to Carne Village was to determine whether Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown had come to this world.

Now that it had been confirmed, Carne Village had lost its value. Compared to the valueless Carne Village, there were still things of value to Lu Minghao in E-Rantel. If he remembered correctly, one of the leaders of Eight Fingers, the trash chicken known as the King of Immortality, was hidden in E-Rantel.

"Master! Master, aren't we going to Carne Village anymore?"

Yuri, who was being pulled by Lu Minghao, noticed that Lu Minghao was walking towards the city, her little face approached Lu Minghao's and asked full of doubt. They had clearly flown all the way here from the royal capital. From the way Lu Minghao looked, he didn't plan to go to Carne Village anymore?

"There's no need anymore, the information I wanted has already been confirmed."

Looking at the little face close at hand, Lu Minghao sighed helplessly and said. He didn't know what was going on. Clearly, Yusha, as the elder sister, was excellent, capable, and sensible, while Yuri, as the younger sister, was a dull idiot, giving people the feeling that she would follow you if you gave her a piece of candy.

"Oh, then what are we going to do now, Master? Are we going to eat?"

Yuri nodded with a look that said, 'I heard it, but I still don't understand,' then pointed to the restaurant not far away and asked full of anticipation. She had smelled the aroma wafting from the restaurant a long time ago. For Yuri, eating was the most important thing.

"......"

Lu Minghao looked speechlessly at the idiot Yuri beside him. Now he was starting to wonder if it was too unfair to her to make her a [Lust] subordinate. This kind of idiot should become a [Gluttony] subordinate. It felt like this kind of idiot could happily eat even if she broke off a piece of soil and stuffed it into her mouth when she was hungry.

"Master! Master! What are you thinking about? Why do I feel like the way you look at me has a feeling of looking at an idiot?"

Opposite her, Yuri, who didn't know what Lu Minghao was thinking at all, tilted her little head and glared at Lu Minghao with puffed cheeks.

"Sigh~!"

Looking at Yuri, who was carefree in front of him, and the chattering voice in his ears, Lu Minghao couldn't help but sigh. What could he do with the subordinates he had taken in? Even if she was an idiot, he could only accept it. He wouldn't really give her a head pat, would he?

Moreover, now that she had become Lu Minghao's subordinate, an ordinary head pat wouldn't really kill Yuri.

Then, too lazy to pay attention to Yuri, Lu Minghao stopped bothering with her and walked directly towards the Adventurers' Guild. For finding the King of Immortality, one of the leaders of Eight Fingers, the Adventurers' Guild, which had the most well-informed information, was the best choice.

On the side, Yuri looked at Lu Minghao, who was ignoring her, glared at him with her big watery eyes, but in less than three seconds, she returned to her previous carefree appearance, looking around with her head and smelling the aroma in the air with her little nose.

Before long, Lu Minghao stopped in front of the Adventurers Guild, located in the busiest part of the city center. Even in broad daylight, the noisy sounds from inside the Adventurers Guild kept coming out, with adventurers constantly going in and out.

Every passing adventurer would raise their head and curiously glance at Lu Minghao standing at the entrance of the Adventurers Guild. His handsome face and the clothes he wore, which looked incomparably luxurious, made them unconsciously slow down.

Bang!

"Ah!"

Just then, Lu Minghao suddenly felt something bump into his back, followed by a soft cry of surprise beside Lu Minghao's ear. Lu Minghao turned around expressionlessly and looked at Yuli, who was covering her red nose and looking at him pitifully.

"Hoo ~"

Looking at Yuli's appearance, Lu Minghao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He kept comforting himself in his heart that this was his second subordinate since coming to this world. Although she seemed a bit dull and was a fool, besides being able to eat a lot and being a fool, at least she did everything he asked her to do.

Moreover, having a dull and foolish subordinate was a completely new experience. As her master, he had to be more tolerant.

"Master, why did you stop?"

Opposite him, Yuli, covering her nose, was looking at Lu Minghao with tears in her eyes. Just now, her nose had made intimate contact with the back of Lu Minghao's head. Coupled with the powerful strength after becoming a subordinate of [Lust], if that impact had been on an ordinary person, Yuli would probably have given everyone a performance of a nose bridge exploding with fireworks.

It was just that, because she bumped into Lu Minghao, Yuli only felt her nose aching terribly, and tears involuntarily filled her eyes.

"Indeed, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

Looking at Yuli, who was covering her nose and whimpering, Lu Minghao's face showed an incomparably gentle smile. He raised his hand and gently placed it on top of Yuli's head, stroking her head, and then said the most indifferent words in the gentlest voice.

Crack!

In the next second, Yuli, who was still covering her nose, seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking. Immediately afterward, a burst of stinging pain came from her head. The feeling was as if her head was constantly being shrunk and squeezed, as if something was about to burst out.

"It hurts... Ah, ah, ah, ah... I'm going to die... I'm going to die... Master, my brain is trembling!"

The girl's wailing instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians. However, when the numerous passers-by looked over, they all showed a comforted smile. In their eyes, at this moment, a handsome and noble-dressed young man was gently stroking the hair of the blue-haired girl in front of him, the gentle touch coupled with the gentle smile.

In their opinion, it looked like a quarrel between master and servant. In this world where nobles could kill slaves at will, this scene was simply heartwarming. As for the girl's screams, in their opinion, it must be the girl acting coquettishly with the young man.

Pa!

A few seconds later, Lu Minghao gently lifted his hand and released Yuli. After being released by Lu Minghao, Yuli quickly raised her hand and kept touching her head, making sure that no parts were missing before letting out a deep sigh of relief. Then, her small face puffed up like a pufferfish as she stared at Lu Minghao.

"What a fool."

Looking at Yuli's appearance, Lu Minghao also gave up. He originally thought that giving her brain some activity could make her smarter, but now it seemed completely useless. In this regard, Lu Minghao decided to just let it be, otherwise, what if she became even more stupid if he continued?

"Let's go."

With that said, Lu Minghao turned around and ignored Yuli, who was glaring at him with puffed cheeks, and walked directly into the Adventurers Guild. Although Lu Minghao remembered that the Undead King, one of the Eight Fingers leaders, had been hiding in the cemetery in the original work, there was still a long time before the original work's timeline, so Lu Minghao had to reconfirm.

Creak!

As the wooden door was pushed open, the many adventurers inside the Adventurers Guild who were drinking and bragging all turned their heads to look over. Especially when they noticed Lu Minghao's handsome face and luxurious clothes, their eyes lit up. And when the seemingly silly Yuli walked in, several adventurers became even more excited.

After all, Lu Minghao and Yuli's combination looked like a noble young master bringing his maid to play the adventurer game. And most importantly, besides Yuli, who seemed a bit dumb, there were no other guards around Lu Minghao.

This kind of person looked like a noble young master who had heard too many stories of adventurers from the mouths of bards and secretly ran away from home to become an adventurer. For adventurers who licked blood from the edge of a knife, this kind of noble young master was simply the perfect fat sheep.

After all, this kind of noble young master only brought a servant, and the absence of guards proved that he was at most a small noble, and he definitely didn't have much power behind him. Even if he died, it wouldn't be a big problem.

In addition, Lu Minghao's clothes showed that he had brought a lot of money when he went out, which was completely a fat sheep that was enough to eat for a lifetime if they made a haul. What's more, that maid who looked a bit dull also looked good...

Therefore, the gloomy-faced guys in the Adventurers Guild looked at each other, revealing cruel smiles on the corners of their mouths. They planned to give this noble young master a good lesson, and the tuition would of course be all the money and life on him, as well as that little maid who looked delicious.

"Heh."

Regarding those malicious gazes, Lu Minghao at least sneered and walked towards the counter. Regarding the existence of adventurers, Lu Minghao had long been clear. To put it nicely, they were adventurers, but to put it bluntly, they were a pack of hyenas.

Of course, although some adventurers did just normally complete commissions and carry out their adventures, that was just a minority.

And for the adventurers who were eyeing him now, Lu Minghao could only say that if someone wanted to die, could he stop them?

After all, he, Lu Minghao, was not a kind slime.

"Is there anything you need?"

In front of the counter, the Adventurers Guild staff raised their head and looked at Lu Minghao with a professional smile and asked.

"Has anything happened recently at the cemetery outside the city?"

After speaking, Lu Minghao turned his head and glanced at the few guys who had been eyeing him before who were following behind him. Lu Minghao sensed a dead aura on them, which was the aura that would remain after recently going to the cemetery.

"The cemetery outside the city, recently adventurers have reported that there are undead appearing there. Is there anything wrong?"

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, the Adventurers Guild staff raised their head and curiously glanced at Lu Minghao, not understanding why he was asking this. The news about the cemetery outside the city could be said to be known by many residents. Due to the burial of a large number of corpses, undead would appear there from time to time.

Every time undead appeared, the Adventurers Guild would commission adventurers to clean them up, which led to no problems ever occurring there. The only abnormality was that the interval between undead appearances had recently shortened a bit.

"I want to commission a task to have someone take me to that cemetery to take a look."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao took out three gold coins and placed them on the table. Seeing this, the Adventurers Guild staff showed a smile on their face and quickly put away the gold coins and began to write the commission. Although the commission to clean up the cemetery undead was usually only about five silver coins.

After all, it wasn't far away, and they weren't threatening undead. Especially since Lu Minghao's commission this time was just to take him to take a look, three silver coins were completely enough.

But what did that have to do with the Adventurers Guild staff? Anyway, Lu Minghao himself was willing to pay so much. In this way, not only would the adventurer who accepted the commission be happy, but they would also have a considerable income.

"Three gold coins! Little brother, how about we take this task?"

On the side, the many adventurers who were still bragging and drinking could no longer sit still after knowing the reward for the task. They all gathered in front of Lu Minghao and looked at him expectantly, after all, it was just a trip to a completely safe cemetery, it was close and safe, and there were three gold coins, which was completely like picking up money for nothing.

"Hey, hey! Ceres, with your bronze adventurer level, do you have the strength to protect the employer?"

At this time, the few adventurers who had been eyeing Lu Minghao came over, directly pushed away the man beside Lu Minghao, and looked at the man who was pushed away with an unconvinced look, puffed out their chests, and stood in front of Lu Minghao, and the silver-white adventurer badges on their chests shone brightly.

In this world, adventurers ranged from the lowest bronze to the highest adamantite-level adventurers, and at this moment, the few men beside Lu Minghao were mithril-level adventurers.

"This noble young master, we are all mithril-level adventurers. If we take on this commission, we can definitely protect you better. How about it?"

"Can you protect me better? Then the commission will... I'll leave it to you."

Looking at the five mithril-level adventurers beside him, Lu Minghao showed a slight smile on his face, as if he was very relieved that his commission had been taken by mithril-level adventurers. Seeing this, the Adventurers Guild staff wanted to say something but found that an adventurer beside Lu Minghao was staring at them with a grin on his face.

Seeing this, they could only look at Lu Minghao with sympathy before handing over the commission to this man.

"Then, now that the commission has been accepted, when do you plan to set off, employer?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, after all, I hate wasting time."

Looking at the few adventurers in front of him who were looking at him eagerly, Lu Minghao smiled slightly and pulled Yuli, who had been looking at the fruit on the table not far away and drooling, and walked out. After the few adventurers behind him looked at each other, they all showed smiles and then quickly followed Lu Minghao in front.

And inside the Adventurers Guild, the remaining adventurers sighed when they saw this. They knew that those few guys were going to make a fortune, and by the way, that noble young man and maid would probably never be seen again.
