Following He Meng, Yang Yu and his party walked into the slime city, and under the curious gazes of countless slimes, they swaggered towards the palace.
The process of going to the palace was not as smooth as imagined. Yang Yu and his team's actions soon attracted the slime guards who were guarding the city and the nobles who dominated the city.
After briefly explaining the situation and giving the nobles some four-leaf clovers, Yang Yu and his companions were able to safely pass through the entire city and enter the passage to the next city.
The slime city is not simple. There are plantations dedicated to growing vegetables, an academy city dedicated to studying, and a burial ground dedicated to dealing with slime corpses.
It is called a burial ground, but in fact it is a place where the slimes without souls are exiled to the ground through special pipes and left to humans to deal with.
Dead slimes will turn into slime zombies which are like the living dead. Slime zombies are very weak and ordinary slimes can easily kill them, but if normal slimes deal with them, there is a risk of reducing their lifespan somehow.
A zombie crisis once broke out in the Slime Kingdom. A large number of slime zombies that relied on instinct occupied the living space of most slimes and frantically devoured the food stores of normal slimes, causing the normal slimes to be unable to survive. They temporarily moved to the ground. After all the slime zombies were cleared out by adventurers, they moved back underground.
After listening to He Meng's story, Yang Yu became more and more interested in the origin of slime.
The devil once said that slime is the most primitive magical creature, and the first plant in the world to tame magic is the four-leaf clover that He Meng and his friends like to eat.
As far as Yang Yu knows, a creature's taste for food depends on its eating habits, and its eating habits depend on whether what it eats can provide it with sufficient nutrition and whether it is safe.
What humans eat tastes delicious, but to other creatures, it may taste different or even be poisonous.
In human society, the phenomenon of cause and effect being reversed often occurs.
People often ask why cats are so cute. It’s time to change your mindset.
Cats are so cute. If we change the cause and effect, all the cats that are not cute will be eliminated.
This is most likely the case with slimes. Perhaps all the slimes that thought four-leaf clovers were unpalatable died. They might have been the only creatures at that time that had adapted to the infection of this magic.
How did those people in the past create this world
However, if slimes are really a very primitive magical creature, how could they have such a culture
The more Yang Yu thought about it, the more questions he had. He could only wait until he met the Slime King before trying to find the answers to these questions.
After passing through one city after another, Yang Yu and his companions didn't know how long it took, but they finally walked into a huge and magnificent passage.
At the end of the passage, there are four combat slimes with levels over 160, guarding the entrance to the palace.
Those traveling to the palace are all slime nobles driving beautiful cars.
When the four golden fighting slimes saw Yang Yu and his group, they actually changed into human forms, but they were still not painted, and each one looked like a little golden man.
They also speak human languages.
"Human, this is no longer a place you can enter casually. Please go back."
Their voices were extremely firm, as if nothing could move them.
Even if Yang Yu took out the four-leaf clover and waved it in front of them, they remained calm.
After much persuasion, He Meng was still unable to convince the four fighting slimes to release the hostages.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage stopped and a slime squeezed out of it. It looked no different from He Meng at first glance, but was a little bigger and wearing a specially made red cloak.
He Meng and the slime stared at each other for a long time and had an encrypted conversation in the slime's language.
After a while, the slime in a red cloak jumped to the four golden slimes and seemed to say something in the slime language.
"Since Your Highness has said so, there is nothing we can do. I will follow your will, Your Highness."
The four golden slimes guarding the gate bowed respectfully to the slime in the red cloak, changed back to their original round slime appearance, and made way for it.
He Meng took two steps forward and transformed into a girl:
"You can go now. Remember to follow him closely."
The slime wearing a red cloak jumped down from the top of his carriage, flipped in the air, and turned into a human boy. He smiled helplessly at He Meng:
"As the youngest sister in the family, I just solved a problem for you, but you still don't want to call me brother?"
He Meng turned away guiltily and muttered to himself, "So you also understand human language."
"Of course. As the crown prince, I must be proficient in all kinds of knowledge. I have dabbled in human history and human linguistics." The young man was extremely proud. He looked at Yang Yu on the side and introduced himself: "Dear humans, it's our first meeting. I am the first prince of the Slime Kingdom and the crown prince, Helot, the elder brother of He Meng.
I heard everything from my sister.
Thank you for escorting my good-for-nothing sister home. We thought she was dead.
You seem to have something very important to discuss with my father, the king, and my mother.
As a thank you, I will introduce you to my parents."
"Thanks for your help. I am the human adventurer Yang Yu, and this is my partner."
Yang Yu smiled and introduced his partners to the future king of the Slime Kingdom.
After a few pleasantries, Yang Yu and his friends followed Helot into the palace of the Slime Kingdom.
He Meng followed Yang Yu, as if she didn't know how to deal with such an outstanding brother in front of her, and she didn't say a word on the way.
Helot didn't say anything, but continued to lead Yang Yu and the others through the narrow road and into the palace.
The Slime's palace was no different from the palaces where ancient emperors lived that Yang Yu knew. There were flowers, grass, and various unique buildings. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be easy to get lost in this huge palace and violate some taboos.
Helot did not beat around the bush in leading Yang Yu and the others to visit the palace, but led Yang Yu and the others directly to the main hall to meet the king and queen of the Slime Kingdom.
On the gorgeous throne, two blue gelatinous creatures of different sizes sat upright. They were much larger than ordinary slimes and even larger than an adult man.
Relying on the crowns on their heads and the clothes they wore, Yang Yu could tell who was the king and who was the queen even without opening the panel.
