Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

The Western Nations, in the original work, are simply a collective term, but in reality, they are a league of nations composed of dozens of kingdoms of various races. Among them, there are kingdoms like the Kingdom of Blumt where Lu Minghao is currently located, which are ruled by humans, and there are also kingdoms composed of demons.

The entire Western Nations appear to have formed an alliance on the surface, but in reality, they are still in a state of hostility. Local wars are still happening all the time, just like in the future when the King of the Kingdom of Blumt sought help from Rimuru because his kingdom was invaded by other kingdoms.

And the one who dispatched the Rines team to capture Sally this time is a great nobleman named Arnold from a certain kingdom within the Western Nations. Because a large part of their kingdom's territory borders the Demon Kingdom, constant wars have led to the deaths of a large number of humans in this kingdom.

In this process, Arnold gradually felt the weakness of humans. Compared to demons, even those who are just born have considerable combat power and a short growth period, humans are completely the opposite. Ordinary humans can only have good combat power after they grow up, become adults, receive a lot of training, and possess sophisticated weapons.

Of course, Arnold doesn't think humans are weak because of this. After all, there are still many strong people among humans, such as the unique human heroes and immortals, who are no less powerful than demon kings. Moreover, the innate wisdom of humans also gives them stronger learning abilities.

For this reason, a bold idea appeared in Arnold's mind. If he could perfectly combine humans and demons, wouldn't he be able to create a 'perfect' species?

When this idea was born, it was like a flame completely filling Arnold's mind. Relying on his own power, Arnold began to secretly capture all kinds of demons and humans for experimentation.

During this period, it wasn't that Arnold hadn't succeeded, but he found that relying solely on his existing magic and knowledge, the existences he created all had natural flaws. Either they were intellectually disabled and irrational, or their lifespans were short, dying shortly after birth...

For this reason, Arnold's plan once fell into stagnation. Until one time, Arnold learned from a certain adventurer about the half-human, half-ghost Sally located in the Kingdom of Blumt, a brand new idea appeared in Arnold's mind.

If... he tried to let demons and humans combine to normally reproduce the next generation, wouldn't he be able to obtain a perfect, flawless existence? For this reason, Arnold started a brand new experiment.

This time, the experiment was very successful, but because the strongest demon in his hand was only a C-rank demon, the existences that were born, although they didn't have too many flaws, didn't completely reach the effect he expected.

Therefore, Arnold once again thought of Sally, who had half of the high-level demon ghost bloodline, whom he learned about from the adventurer. He planned to capture her and cultivate her... And when Sally grows up and has enough strength... In this way, he will have the most perfect mother.

At this point, a mission revolving around Sally appeared in the Adventurers Guild. In addition, Arnold, based on the information he had investigated, assigned the mission to the Rines team, who had previously had contact with Sally, and in order to ensure that his plan was not exposed, he also required the Rines team to eliminate all irrelevant people.

"Should I say he's a little clever, or is he really a genius?"

After listening to the information he learned from Rines, Lu Minghao couldn't help but mutter. After all, from the information, he could know that the great nobleman named Arnold was not a reincarnator from another world, but he did such a thing, which can be completely said to be a true genius.

As for why Rines would know this, of course, it was because he inquired through his unique channels in the adventurer community. After all, with his hyena-like personality, he would definitely secretly investigate clearly such a low-risk, high-return mission assigned to the Rines team.

Although the Kingdom of Yst where Arnold is located in the original work is only collectively referred to as a member of the Western Nations, it is actually relatively powerful among the many small countries in the Western Nations. Moreover, Arnold's experiment caused no small waves in the nearby kingdoms, coupled with Rines's unique channels in the adventurer community.

Arnold's purpose in capturing Sally was quickly investigated by the Rines team. After all, most of the demons needed for Arnold's experiment were captured by assigned adventurers, and for most adventurers, as long as the money is enough, many problems can be easily solved.

You must know that intelligence is also part of the adventurer's income.

"What do you think, Sally? Do you want to go to that Kingdom of Yst to meet that great nobleman named Arnold?"

In the next second, Lu Minghao looked at Sally and asked. For this kind of kingdom in the midst of war, it perfectly met Lu Minghao's needs. War represents a large number of deaths, and the corpses left behind will become Lu Minghao's nourishment, and it's free without any effort.

All Lu Minghao has to do is just one thing, that is, like in the sewers where he was born, quietly follow those adventurers and clean up the 'garbage' for them, except this time it's changed to the battlefield.

"Sally wants to go!"

Sally nodded and looked at Lu Minghao. She also heard everything Rines said just now. Although she is still young, she understands that the guy named Arnold will definitely not let her go easily, because she is the most perfect mother in his eyes.

Then, after knowing that the Rines team's mission failed, Arnold will definitely issue a mission to the Adventurers Guild again, and it will be a higher reward. At that time, a powerful adventurer team will definitely come to them.

"Well, then it's decided, go to the Kingdom of Yst."

Lu Minghao touched Sally's little head. The main purpose of going to the Kingdom of Yst this time is to obtain enough nourishment for himself, and to give Sally the 'Gluttony Power' during this period, turning her into his subordinate and relying on the war to obtain a lot of nourishment.

As for Arnold, Lu Minghao will only choose to observe his situation secretly first. If his strength is sufficient, then Lu Minghao doesn't mind letting the other party rest in his body. Doesn't he want Sally?

Then just stay in his body, so that he can be with Sally every day.

Of course, if Arnold's strength exceeds the range that Lu Minghao can cope with, then of course he will take Sally and quietly hide near the battlefield, relying on the large amount of nourishment brought by the war to develop first.

After all, the current Lu Minghao is only a newly advanced intermediate demon. Although his strength is much stronger than ordinary intermediate demons due to his innate talent and ability, that's all.

You must know that there are many strong people in this world. Not to mention the rare demon kings, heroes, immortals and other top existences, just a single high-level demon can easily defeat Lu Minghao now, causing him to flee in panic.

"In the end, it's still because I'm not strong enough!"
