Chapter 45: The Direwolves.

"Hey, Rimuru. How does it feel to be in another world?" Walking on the road, Shiro suddenly asked the slime.

The slime was taken aback.

"The same as you?"

Shiro didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth was slightly raised.

Rimuru got it.

"Then let's be friends, and protect each other." Rimuru asked excited.

How should I put it, some of the dangers in this world are also fatal to her.

But with this guy as a friend, some danger can be avoided, even though her unique skill [Predator] can be said to be a Cheat, it's not invincible.

For example, if the absorbed target is conscious, the success rate will be greatly decreased and the abilities of the target need to be successfully analyzed to be able to use them, even so not every skills can be acquired.

"Sure." Shiro put rimuru on his shoulders and headed towards the Goblin Tribe, it's faster this way.

...

Without knowing they already arrived at the tribe.

"This is this your village?"

Rimuru observed the village and was a little surprised, the village looked like a garbage dump.

Shiro wasn't that surprised, after all, he had watched the anime.

'Not bad, but need to be remodeled.' thought Shiro looking at the village.

"Hey, what is a human and a Slime doing in our village?" asked a goblin curiously.

"I don't know..."

"Kyaa, that human is so Handsome!" exclaimed a female goblin.

"Yeah, his eyes are so beautiful..." said another one, mesmerized by Shiro's eyes.

"Stop drooling!"

...

"Tch, wh*re..." Rimuru don't know why but she feels a little annoyed.

"Everyone, they are here to help us against those Fang Wolves!" one of the goblin informed the villagers excitedly.

"Really?!"

"Thank you very much!!"

"Is he the hero of my dreams!?"

"Do you think my handsome prince charming will appear in your dreams!"

"Please stop everyone!"

"Shiro-sama, Demon lord-sama, please follow me." the goblins led the way.

When they were about to follow him, some goblins come back to the village with a Fang wolf corpse.

'barbecue?'

'I have never tasted a wolf meat, it must be delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat!!' Rimuru glanced at the corpse, and thought sadly.

She glanced at it a few times, then followed the goblin toward a shabby house.

The thatched roof was dilapidated, and the surrounding walls are made of old woods.

There are also many cracks.

'Can someone live there?' Rimuru looked at Shiro with some embarrassment, hoping to see him with the same expression.

But after seeing his okay expression, she was disappointed.

'Is this the norm in his world?'

Her thought was interrupted when the goblin who leaded the way came in with an old goblin.

"I have been waiting for you." the old goblin looked very weak and very... Ugly.

"Hi." Rimuru smiled.

"Sorry, there is nothing other than this..." The old Goblin handed over two cups of tea.

Shiro stretched out his hand and took a sip. It was a bit bitter, but it's not that bad.

"Try it too." Shiro said grinning.

Rimuru drank the tea.

"Ugh... There is no taste." Rimuru said disappointed.

"Haha... I know." chuckled Shiro.

"..." Rimuru was speechless.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, I'll just say it straight." said the Old goblin.

"Recently, because of the disappearance of the Storm Dragon, Veldora, the monsters suppressed by him have become very active."

"The two surrounding goblin villages were attacked and massacred by the Fang wolves." the old Goblin sighed sadly.

"It's our turn now."

"With our current strength and weapons we can't resist them."

"But you two can fight, so I beg you to help us, please!" the Goblins bowed and looked at the two with begging eyes.

Shiro was the first to speak.

"I can help, but what benefits can you bring to me."

"Right." Rimuru also nodded felling a little guilty, since she was the one who absorbed Veldora.

"w...we." The old goblin chief thought for a while.

"We will always be loyal to you."

"Sigh...Okay." Since they will be loyal to us, then this place will also naturally belong to us.

Shiro has the idea of remodeling this village, it's also great to have a village right away at the start.

At the same time, this place is also the development point of the future plot.

"Ennnnn..." Rimuru thought for a while, and then said...

"Okay, then I am also willing to help you."

After hearing their answers, the old and the young goblin cried directly in relief.

"We are finally saved!"

"Thank you!!"

"Okay, tell us about each other's strength and situation."

The old village chief immediately stopped crying and started telling everything.

"They are Fang wolves. We can barely balance it with an ordinary goblin, what's more there is more than one hundred of them, and we only have more than one hundred people."

"To confront them, at least more than 1,000 Goblins are needed."

"Just over a hundred?" asked Shiro.

"..." Rimuru.

"..." Old Goblin.

"..." Young Goblin.

Shiro's words directly stunned everyone.

One thousand Goblins are needed to fight against Just one hundred Fang Wolves, and even then it's just for the balance, to defeat them they may need even more Goblins.

But this man said "Just one hundred." so easily?

'Could it be that Shiro-sama's strength is even more terrifying than we imagined? ' This thought appeared in the minds of everyone.

The two goblins were very happy.

If this is the case, then their village will not be destroyed.

No, it should be said Shiro and Rimuru's soon to be village.

After all, when they will defeat the Fang Wolves them and every other Goblins will become their subordinates.

At the same time, with these two people leading their tribes, they will be more safe and relaxed.

Rimru was also puzzled and looked forward to it.

Can this guy also use Gojo's abilities?

If so isn't he overpowered?!

"Yes, my lord," the young goblin affirmed.

Shiro interrupted him and said...

"Didn't I say to call me Shiro."

"P... please forgive me, Shiro-sama." the goblin apologized while panicking.

"it's okay, now continue." Shiro nodded.

the Goblin breathed in relief and continued.

"I'll tell you about the Direwolves. the Direwolves tribe are the overlord of the Eastern Plains of the Jura Forest. Even Veteran adventurers may be killed if they don't pay attention." (A/N: I'm not sure about their species before being named. So I will use Fang Wolves from now.)

"They mainly rely on magic elements to maintain their lives."

"Everyone has magic elements in their bodies, some have more and some have less, and there are also some plants, such as the Hipokute Herbs, those are rare herbs for making Healing Potions, they can be found in places with high magicule concentrations, like in the Cave where the Storm Dragon, Veldora, was formerly sealed."

"Oh? Healing potions." Rimuru was surprised, since she absorbed a lot of those herbs, can't she also make Healing potion and sell them for a lot of money?

"Yes." Goblin nodded.

"The terrible thing about the Fang wolves is that they live in groups."

"They are only c-level monsters alone, but together they can be said to be b-level monsters."

"Well, okay, By the way, my name is Rimuru." Rimuru said introducing herself.

"Also, can you tell me, what level i'am?" As she said, she released her magic power.

"My pleasure, Rimuru-sama." The goblin said.

"Your magic element is extremely terrifying, as deep as the ocean, you are at least S-rank, the same as some demon lord!" He said in horror after feeling her magic power.

"Does the released amount of magic make you feel scared? Sorry, it wasn't intentional." Rimuru retracted her magic power, pretending to be embarrassed, she did that intentionally, she was a little jealous of Shiro, since the Goblins respected and admired him more that her.

At the same time, she glanced at Shiro, but was greatly disappointed because he was completely fine.

"It seems you are really different." Rimuru smiled but that wasn't really a smile.

"That's natural." Shiro smirked. 'You're too early, slime-chan.'

"It would be nice if we could also have names, like Shiro-sama and Rimuru-sama." the Young Goblin sighed.

"That is simple. When I come back, I will give everyone a name, but I have to deal with the Fang wolves before that." Rimuru said.

"What?!" The goblin's eyes almost exploded.

"You said you want to give us a name?!"

"Are you serious, Rimuru-sama?!"

"Well, is there any problem?" Rimuru asked a little confused.

"If you don't have a name, it will be troublesome for us to call you." Rimuru said.

"Indeed." Shiro nodded but didn't warn her about the problem of giving them a name.

"Great!" The goblins were moved.

There are very few monsters with a name in the Jura Forest.

A monster with a name can be regarded as a relatively advanced monster.

At the same time, Rimuru also understood that naming a monster is something rare, but she don't know the consequences and didn't want to know, it may be that she is eager to save them, or because she like helping people.

And the benefits she asked with Shiro was just an excuse, even if she doesn't receive anything in return she would have helped them.

At the same time she could also get a lot of information about this world from the Goblins.

...

at the same time.

The Fang Wolves tribes rushed quickly towards the Goblin Village, they are only a few kilometers away,

At their lead was a black wolf with a scar on his eyes.

"Soon the time will come." murmured the wolf.
