I am the emperor of Mengwang

"King, I am willing to accept the same punishment as Kai Jin. No, that's not right. I am willing to die as a token of my guilt."

"I hope the king can make it happen."

Besta's voice was full of guilt and sadness, but there was no fear of death.

The Hero King's eyes were extremely calm, as if nothing could shake this king.

The Hero King looked at Besta and said nothing.

The atmosphere began to freeze and it became eerily quiet.

Not long after, the Hero King sighed.

"Deprive Besta of all his positions in the Dwarven Country, expel him from the Dwarven Country, and never set foot in the Dwarven Country without permission for the rest of his life."

The voice was full of helplessness.

Hearing this voice, Besta's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He felt extremely sad.

But he was also grateful, at least the king did not take his life.

"Thank you for your grace, King."

He bowed his head to the Hero King in gratitude.

This time, the Hero King did not say anything, nor did he look at Besta again, but turned and left.

As the Hero King left, Besta could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and began to flow down.

He is now full of regret and resentment.

He now blamed himself for not seeing the king's intention earlier.

He resented why he had done that to Kaijin.

He has lost everything now.

Status, power and most importantly, the king's recognition.

If he had realized the king's intention earlier.

Neither will it.

It's a pity that there is no if.

Looking at Besta crying loudly.

Even Rimuru felt a little reluctant.

"Ali, let's help him, he looks so pitiful."

Rimuru said to Mo Li.

"Why should we help him? You know, he almost ruined our mining business for ten years!"

Mo Li's tone was full of ruthlessness.

In fact, even if Rimuru hadn't interceded for him, Li Qiye would have helped Besta, because Besta was a talent. In the original work, it was because of Besta that Tempest's pharmaceutical industry developed so rapidly. Even the cure medicine was almost 100%. In the later period, it even cooperated with various countries. How could Li Qiye let go of such a great talent? But Li Qiye still had to test Rimuru, after all, Rimuru was the master of the future country, and Li Qiye was at most a prime minister. Li Qiye's indecisiveness must be changed. Otherwise, something big would happen later.

"But………"

Rimuru didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Looking at Rimuru thinking.

"Rimuru, we can save him, but we need a reason. Don't forget that he almost killed Kaikin and the others. If you save him, how will Kaikin and the others look at you? Have you ever thought about it?"

Mo Li guided Rimuru.

Kai Jin, who was standing by, heard what Mo Li said and was about to explain something, but was stopped by Mo Li's eyes.

In fact, although Kaijin complained about Besta, it is undeniable that Besta is definitely a great talent who will shine anywhere. It can be said that if Kaijin can be the equivalent of a hundred blacksmiths, then Besta can be the equivalent of a hundred ordinary technicians. Besta not only understands research, but also is proficient in politics. In some ways, he is better than Kaijin.

Since he decided to work for Rimuru and Mo Li, he had to share their worries. Besides, his hatred with Besta was not irreconcilable. There was no great hatred, and Besta confessed in the end, didn't he? A generous person like Kaijin would not care about these trivial matters. At most, after Besta worked for Rimuru and the others, he would also trip Besta up a few times. Isn't that enough?

Rimuru, who was standing by, seemed to have noticed something.

"Ali, we can recruit Besta and Kaijin for our own use. He must feel guilty towards Kaijin, so we can ask Kaijin to invite him. We have decided to build up our power, and technicians like Besta are exactly what we lack."

Rimuru became more and more excited as he spoke.

"But have you ever thought about whether Kaijin and the others are willing to forgive Besta?"

Mo Li asked Rimuru.

Hearing what Mo Li said, Rimuru's entire slime froze.

"Yes, he doesn't seem to have considered Kaijin's feelings. What if Kaijin doesn't want to?"

Rimuru fell silent immediately.

"Well, can't you ask Kaijin?"

Looking at Rimuru's expression, Mo Li said helplessly.

"Yes, you can only know after you try it."

Rimuru pulled himself together again and walked towards Kaikin.

Before Rimuru could ask any questions, Kaijin stood up.

"Rimuru-sama, I agree to your request."

"But won't this embarrass you?"

Although Rimuru felt a little pity for Besta, she still put Kaijin first. If Kaijin didn't want to, she wouldn't help Besta. After all, she and Kaijin were friends, right?

"It's okay, Lord Rimuru. In fact, Besta is not a bad person. He is just a minister who wants to be recognized by the king. Moreover, he is very good and will definitely be of great help if he works for you. To be honest, I don't have any big hatred with him."

"At most, he tripped me up a few times. Even if it was a bigger grudge, it was nothing more than him making me take the blame for a few things, causing me to lose my job, and also causing my friends to get hurt. But haven't you and Lord Mo Li been healed? And to be honest, our relationship was not like this before. I also want to talk to him."

"Even if I'm unhappy, at most I'll just let him take the blame for me in the future. So as long as you say so, I will definitely capture Besta for you. He has harmed me for so long, so what's wrong with you agreeing to a few of my requests?"

Kaijin said magnanimously.

Rimuru was immediately happy when he heard that.

"Thank you, Kaijin."

Then he turned his head to Mo Li.

"Ali, how did I do this time?"

Looking at Rimuru’s expectant eyes.

"You did very well."

Mo Li picked up Rimuru and praised him.

“Haha, I know I’m the best.”

Rimuru said with a narcissistic look on his face.

Looking at Rimuru's innocent look, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh and thought in his heart.

"It seems that she still needs to be educated. Rimuru is still too naive. She will suffer in the later stage if she is like this."

What Ling Moli didn't expect was that it was because of his existence that Rimuru felt reliant on him, and in the near future he ended up harming himself.
