I am the emperor of Mengwang

It didn't take long before all the goblins and Garo found their partners.

Looking at the remaining dozen or so Garou, Rimuru said.

"Then the patrol mission from now on will be left to you."

“Yes, Rimuru-sama.”

The remaining Garou shouted in unison.

"By the way, do you have names?"

At this time, Rimuru asked the old goblin.

"Rimuru-sama, we don't have names. Ordinary monsters don't have names."

The old goblin explained to Rimuru.

"Then what should I call you? After all, you all look so similar. Goblins are okay, but the Garo clan is almost exactly the same."

Rimuru was troubled by this question.

“Rimuru-sama, if we spend enough time together, we will be familiar with each other even without names, so you don’t have to worry.”

The old goblin explained to Rimuru.

"But, it's still very inconvenient, right?"

Rimuru still felt a little troubled.

"I have an idea. How about I give you guys a name? Is that okay?"

Rimuru said to the goblins and the Garou.

Before Rimuru finished speaking, all eyes were focused on him. Even the goblins and garou standing at the end stood up excitedly.

“Rimuru-sama, are you serious?”

The old goblin asked in disbelief.

Rimuru was shocked when he saw their scary looks.

"What, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Rimuru said with a slight stutter.

"Nothing? We're just a little excited, that's all."

The old goblin said hurriedly.

"Ali, what happened to them?"

At this time, Rimuru asked Mo Li who had been sitting next to him.

Looking at the ignorant face of Rimuru Moli couldn't help but sigh.

“It seems like you didn’t remember anything Veldora said? Did you forget what Veldora said about naming monsters?”

Mo Li asked Rimuru back.

Listening to Mo Li's words, Rimuru fell into deep thought.

Looking at Rimuru's clear and stupid expression, he looks just like those stupid college students in his previous life.

"The reason they were so surprised is that names cannot be given casually."

Mo Li had no choice but to explain it to Rimuru again.

"why?"

Rimuru said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, I won't go into details. Don't you have a great sage? You can ask the great sage in your mind. He should be able to give a more comprehensive explanation than I can."

Mo Li suggested to Rimuru.

"Yes, how could I forget that I still have the Great Sage."

Only then did Rimuru react.

Looking at Rimuru's expression, Mo Li seriously doubted that even if he sold Rimuru, Rimuru would still help her count the money.

"Why can't the Great Sage be given a random name?"

Rimuru asked the Great Sage in his heart.

The great sage who had been observing Rimuru's performance just now couldn't help but doubt, did I really not make the wrong choice?

The great sage could not help but fall into self-doubt. Forget it, he was the one who chose this person, so he had to accept it even if he cried.

"【Named Monster】 literally means a monster with a name. In this world, ordinary monsters don't have names. When a low-level monster wants to evolve into a high-level monster, it needs other monsters with names to name it at the cost of their own magic. In the naming process, the namer will consume magic equal to the level of the named monster. Sometimes the namer cannot recover the consumed magic due to naming, so high-level monsters generally don't name other monsters casually."

There was a moment of silence, and then the great sage continued.

"Moreover, as a degraded elf species, goblins are low-level D-class monsters. Even after evolution, male goblins can only evolve into C-class monsters [Hob Goblin], while female goblins will evolve into C-class monsters [Goblina]. Yes, Goblina! They are not very powerful, and the cost-effectiveness is not high. Generally, no high-level monsters will name low-level races like goblins. Although the strength of the Garo clan is stronger than that of the goblins, it is not much stronger. Therefore, it is extremely uneconomical to name these two races."

The Great Sage not only told Rimuru what naming monsters was, but also analyzed the pros and cons of naming goblins and garugas for Rimuru.

After hearing the great sage’s explanation, Rimuru finally understood.

"No wonder they were so surprised when I named them. Great Sage, can I name all the Goblins and Garou with my magic energy?"

At this time, Rimuru asked the Great Sage.

After thinking for a while, the great sage spoke.

"Theoretically, your magic energy is not enough, but you have backup energy."

The great sage obviously hesitated when talking about backup energy.

"Backup energy, what backup energy?"

Rimuru asked curiously.

"That is, the herbs and minerals you consumed in the past, plus monsters, etc."

The great sage hesitated when talking about monsters, and it was obvious that he was hiding something.

But Rimuru didn’t hear anything at all.

"I see. Then I'll name them."

Rimuru said nonchalantly, for him, there were plenty of ores and herbs to devour, so it would be no problem to consume a little.

It seems that he has not yet realized that among the monsters it devoured, only Storm Dragon Veldora had this amount of magic. And the Great Sage did not remind Rimuru. For the Great Sage, she would only do things that would benefit Rimuru.

Moreover, because Storm Dragon belongs to the highest level holy demon spirit, that is, Dragon Race, and Dragon Race and Dragon Race are completely different races. Dragon Race is a spiritual life form born from the deterioration of the genetic factor of Star King Dragon, who is the Creator God. No matter how many times the physical body is destroyed, it will be resurrected by the gathering of spirit (but the memory will not be completely preserved). In a sense, Dragon Race is an immortal creature, and Storm Dragon has the most powerful magic energy among the four dragon species. It's just that it can't be fully controlled at present, so even if Limuru's magic energy is not enough, the Great Sage can also draw magic energy from Veldora's body to supplement it.

Seeing Rimuru getting ready to start, Mo Li asked.

“How come you know all this?”

"I see. The great sage has explained it all to me."

Looking at Rimuru's expression, Mo Li knew that the Great Sage definitely did not tell Rimuru about extracting the magic essence from Veldora's body.

Forget it. Mo Li originally wanted to remind him, but then he thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, it was just extracting some magic elements, and among the four dragon species, the Storm Dragon Veldra had the most magic elements. In the original work, the Storm Dragon Veldra was just a power bank for Rimuru. After reading the original work, Mo Li also knew that the great sage would be careful even when extracting magic elements.
