Chapter 72

Trap (5)

“Saintess Amelia, Paladin Paulen, welcome.”

Saying it was to confirm whether the slime in Gracie’s paper really exists, Amelia and Paulen were summoned by the Magic Tower Lord.

Since the slime accompanying them had become the topic of the paper, they had expected that such a thing would happen.

“Hello, Magic Tower Lord.”

“We heard you want to confirm our Budul.”

“That’s right. I don’t want to doubt Gracie’s paper, but it’s content that’s hard to do so anyway.”

The two understood the Magic Tower Lord’s heart.

Because setting aside being friendly to people, if there is a slime that uses magic tools and even exercises, it was a story hard to believe unless seen directly.

“What should we show?”

“Show what you can show in order.”

As the Magic Tower Lord requested, Amelia asked the slime and showed various things the slime could do.

First, the appearance of using magic tools, which was written first in the paper.

Not only easily using handle-type magic tools by additionally making tentacles, but also showing the appearance of using magic tools without magic stones by stretching the tentacles long.

‘It’s really possible!’

Brooks Besilja fell into shock just from seeing that scene.

Although he had already read it in the paper, he couldn’t easily shake off the common sense he originally knew.

Next, the appearance of the slime exercising with dumbbells, or understanding Amelia’s words and jumping in place about 3 times or climbing onto the shoulder or head were also displayed.

At the scene proving that not another monster but the weakest slime has intelligence, Brooks Besilja forgot even his dignity and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

▶lolol look at that human opening his mouth.

▶It’s worth being surprised that the slime is so smart.

[Soft Queen]▶What’s surprising about a slime being smart! Impudent!

▶The fact that little slimes are stupid is fact though? Scratch?

[Soft Queen]▶Naaay nooooom! What is Kkanjuk doing! Can’t you kick that guy out quickly!

[Free Spirit]▶Kicking out for that level of picking a fight is a bit...

▶Ah lolol the manager has to be fair lolol

▶The troublemaker eraser performance is certain~.

[Anonymous12224 has been kicked.]

▶?

▶???

[Free Spirit]▶Words toward me have to be said nicely yy.

▶lololol.

▶Is it dictatorship lolol.

▶Where’s the fairness? lolol.

“Is this enough?”

They showed most of the slime’s specialties to the Magic Tower Lord.

Excluding changing tentacles to lift people, that is.

Gracie also advised not to show it carelessly to others, and Gracie also did not write about the slime’s tentacle deformation in the paper because the content of the paper would become too long.

“Yes. Hmm. Enough... enough. Thank you for taking the time. You may go now. Gracie, you go out too.”

After sending the three away, a short while later.

Bang!

Brooks struck his desk with his fist.

“Damn! To think such an absurd slime really existed!”

He had clearly seen it with his own eyes.

Gracie’s paper had only the truth written without an inch of exaggeration.

To think such an absurd slime really existed.

If this is announced and even proven.

“Kuuuuk! My life’s enjoyment...,”

The Frail family’s support funds continuing from now on is confirmed, and he will no longer be able to see the appearance of the Frail family struggling without money.

That was something that must never happen for Brooks Besilja who had a twisted heart.

‘A way... I have to find a way. Gracie. That stupid and pathetic magic tool doping mage bitch! A way to prevent the descendant of Ventus Frail from announcing the paper! No, a way to make it unprovable even if announced!’

For Brooks Besilja, more important than intellectual curiosity or the development of magic research was only his private desire.

If this were a paper written by someone else it wouldn’t matter, but if it was written by the descendant of Ventus Frail, he thought he had to block it somehow.

The most certain way to prevent the proof of the paper is to eliminate the slime.

However, that was by no means easy.

The slime together with none other than the next Saintess and Paladin.

If it were another person he would have secretly given pocket money to mercenaries and told them to eliminate it, but the opponents beside it were too strong.

But Brooks Besilja who couldn’t give up his desire continued to rack his brain trying to come up with a method.

And.

“Yes! That’s it!”

A memory floated in Brooks Besilja’s head.

That was the most refreshing moment in his life.

Precisely the time he trapped Ventus Frail in a trap by disguising it as a magic accident.

‘I can eliminate that slime by disguising it as a magic accident too! If it’s an accident there’s nothing to be done! It’s everyday at the Magic Tower!’

+++

‘Hmm, something feels ominous.’

The lich who is the slime’s broadcast manager and the Heavenly Law mage Ventus Frail.

Nickname Free Spirit.

Nickname Kkanjuk was feeling ominous.

The cause was precisely the culprit who tried to kill him by disguising it as a magic accident.

Because of Brooks Besilja.

After confirming whether the slime could really realize the content written in the paper, the expression Brooks Besilja made bothered Kkanjuk.

Other viewers were concentrating on the slime, and Gracie, Amelia, Paulen turned around and couldn’t see, but Kkanjuk clearly saw.

The expression Brooks Besilja tried to distort.

Although he hadn’t met him for 30 years, the point of trying to trap him.

And though speculation, from the point of cheering the descendant trying to become a magic tool doping mage, Kkanjuk found Brooks Besilja too suspicious.

Separate from Brooks Besilja’s personality being broken, he was the man closest to the Magic Tower Lord excluding Ventus Frail.

The evidence is that the current Magic Tower Lord is Brooks Besilja.

Even if his character is twisted, he is a mage with skill.

Therefore, if he is determined to do cunningly despicable things, Kkanjuk thought he could make not only Gracie but also the next Saintess or Paladin fall into a trap.

‘Of course he wouldn’t be stupid enough to directly lay hands on the next Saintess or Paladin.’

Because that would be the same as waging war with the church.

‘Why did that guy distort his expression?’

While feeling ominous, Kkanjuk rotated his head that was physically empty but still working well and organized the situation.

What is the reason Brooks Besilja was displeased?

That is precisely his descendant doing well.

Kkanjuk recalled the Frail family’s support funds that Gracie directly spoke of.

‘The Frail family can still obtain support funds from the Magic Tower. If that paper is announced, there won’t be a case of the support funds being cut off to the family for a while.’

If Brooks Besilja still has a twisted nature, he won’t be able to see the sight of his family the Frail family doing well.

‘If it’s to obstruct that, that guy will do any dangerous thing.’

Because he was a guy who even did the bold act of killing himself who defeated the calamity out of jealousy.

He felt even more conviction that it would be so.

To not receive support funds, make the paper unprovable.

And the method most likely to come to mind first among those methods.

‘Mallang.’

Precisely the matter of eliminating the slime.

‘...If I stay still like this, Mallang’s life will be in danger.’

It wasn’t just an ominous speculation but conviction.

If Brooks Besilja pulls some trick, that is trying to eliminate the slime.

Eliminate the slime accompanying, not the Saintess or Paladin.

Objectively seen, it won’t spread into a big matter.

The relationship with the next Saintess and Paladin will sour, but the church actively stepping up and becoming hostile with the Magic Tower won’t happen, and Brooks Besilja also won’t come down from the Magic Tower Lord position.

Because at most it’s just one slime disappearing.

‘I should prepare in advance.’

For Kkanjuk, Mallang was special.

As one viewer, there was not wanting to lose the broadcast channel that brings unexpected fun called Mallang, but through the slime’s broadcast Kkanjuk came to see the companion he thought he could never see again.

Even if he didn’t give birth directly, he came to see the descendant of the Frail family where the same blood flows, and could hear how his relatives were living after he died.

Above all.

‘The promise between Nellin and Mallang must be fulfilled.’

The promise to meet again.

Even if he couldn’t, at least Mallang.

He wanted this slime to keep the promise with the precious companion.

+++

A few days later.

Around the time the date to end the life at the Magic Tower and return to the Holy City approached.

Amelia and Paulen were surprised upon hearing the news Gracie brought.

“The Magic Tower Lord says he’ll inspect Budul?”

“Yes. It seems the Magic Tower Lord was also greatly shocked by this paper. So he said if possible he wants to inspect directly.”

“I didn’t know the Magic Tower Lord would take such interest.”

“What Budul accomplished was that much of a matter transcending common sense. I also actually understand the Magic Tower Lord’s heart. Besides, the Magic Tower Lord said. Hmm...”

Gracie hesitated for a moment then continued.

“Since it’s a slime with too outstanding talent and smart, it might be a higher individual slime so for safety’s sake it would be good to definitely confirm, he said.”

“Budul being a higher individual...”

“The possibility isn’t entirely zero.”

The appearance is an ordinary slime, but since the power it has is enough to defeat a lesser troll, Paulen couldn’t just deny it.

“But does the Magic Tower Lord have a method to confirm?”

“Yes. He said while confirming whether it’s a higher individual or not, we can know more detailed things about Budul. Th, and! Since it’s only confirming, it won’t be dangerous to Budul, he said!”

From Gracie’s position, she wanted to definitely receive this confirmation.

‘It’s no different from the Magic Tower Lord’s confirmation stamp!’

Not just the Magic Tower Lord acknowledging with words but even going through confirmation?

It was the same as the Magic Tower Lord directly verifying the paper.

If so, the confirmation of support funds was no different from a done deal.

“Saintess, what will you do?”

Paulen asked Amelia’s opinion.

“Hmm...”

For Amelia, it wasn’t a particularly bad proposal.

‘There’s no reason for the Magic Tower Lord to do bad things to Budul.’

The Magic Tower Lord Amelia saw was looking after their convenience as much as possible.

Such a Magic Tower Lord suddenly doing bad things to the slime?

At least for Amelia, it was a thought she couldn’t even imagine.

‘Besides, it can become an opportunity to know Budul better.’

The slime was cute and kind and smart and unexpectedly strong.

Amelia was satisfied with just that, but there was also the curiosity of wanting to know exactly what kind of slime this amazing slime was.

“Then let’s get it confirmed. If I can know Budul better, I’m good with that too.”

“Yes! Then I’ll go tell the Magic Tower Lord right away!”
