"Hello!"
Ren greeted the duo with an energetic voice with a wide smile.
"W-Who are you?"
The boy hesitantly asked with a shaking voice.
"Oh, I am just your friendly neighborhood slime."
"Is- t-this is a slime?"
The girl spoke with disbelief in her eyes.
How can a mere slime be so strong?"
"I am your righteous and justice-hungry slime. Just let me eat these treacherous criminals." He said as a burping sound came from his mouth.
The duo looked at the slime dumbfounded.
"Let me free you guys."
He cut down the ropes of Kevin and helped him stand. The girl also staggeringly stood properly clothed.
She rushed toward Kevin with worried face.
"Kevin, are you ok?" She touched her body and her eyes fell on his wounds. Seeing those wounds, tears dropped down from her eyes.
"No, lady. I am ok. These are just scratches." Kevin said comforting the lady.
"Yeah, just some scratches that could take your life." Ren interrupted them and spoke.
"What?!"
The lady trembled.
"No-"
Before the Kevin could speak, the slime jumped at sat on his head.
"I will fix you, lad."
He said without waiting for any reply. He wanted to test the healing spell he has, and how much powerful it is. So he is his guinea pig.
"Heal"
Casting the spell, a light emitted from Ren. The green light spread across the Kevin's body, and those injuries slowly closed up. The tore up part of clothes didn't go fixed and the blood stain was still there, but all the injuries, wounds and scratches disappeared.
The girl's eyes widen seeing the magic.
Kevin on the other hand felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Done"
Ren jumped down and looked at them with proud expression on his face.
"A-Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I am feeling too good, I hadn't felt this good for years."
"Ahem"
While they were chatting and pink bubbles like thing emitted from them. Ren couldn't hand these lovery dovey things so he coughed.
"Kya"
The girl nearly jumped back. She looked at Ren like he hadn't exist there, and just appeared like a ghost.
Ren on the other hand frowned.
"Ah!"
The boy also jolted and lowered his head.
"Thank you saving us...Umm.."
"Ren, that's my name."
"Oh. My name is Kevin."
The two boys introduced themselves and it was the turn of the lady.
She lifted her skirt slightly and bowed down. Like a Nobel, she politely spoke. "My name is Cristina A.Luberburg"
Stare~
Ren stare at her like she was an exotic animal. It was intriguing for Ren who hadn't seen this introduction except for tv drama and some movies.
"W-What?"
She embarrassingly said.
"Nothing, it's just exotic."
"What?"
It was a kind of a weird situation going on, the monster and human were communicating normally.
"What were you guys doing here?"
Ren asked looking at the crashed carriage.
"I am from the Luberburg family. We are especially a merchant family. Our company got an order from our near kingdom. So, I took the carriage and came here to fulfill the order. We didn't expect to get caught by the bandits."
"Oh.." Looking at the sad face of Cristina, Kevin pat her shoulder comforting her while Ren shrugged.
"Anyway, tell me more about your... family."
*****
Ren escorted the duo to the nearest town. Fortunately, they had enough money to live in the town for some months. They will send a letter to the Luberburg family asking for reinforcement.
From the conversation, Ren got useful information. He knew more about the human kingdom.
Nobels were categorized into different ranks and the king or imperial family was at the top.
The nobles were ranked the lowest Baron and highest Duke, like your typical ancient noble family rank.
Getting this new information, Ren was satisfied. He decided to learn more about the monster and their rank. But from his interaction with his village, much of the ranks are just villagers and elders, and one secret force called the shadow.
That's all, soldier, farmer, etc all are normal and fall in villager rank.
While dissing these information out, evolution is rare and he is the unique one.
And the most interesting thing he knows is about heroes. More the info he got, he knew the heroes would be mostly from his classes.
But who knows if some unique like him also exists. So, he needs to know more about the world and proceed to get the next evolution as fast as possible.
He also knows about dog, cat, bunny, etc tribe.
These tribes are mostly of two races.
Beastmen is mostly known as Demi-Human, and Orc, who is known as typical orcs.
The race whose figure or appearance is more similar to humans are beastmen and the one whose figure is more similar to monsters is an orc.
Fun fact, they both have intelligence but not much intelligence as humans.
From some books left in the village, he also knows that demons are high-ranked and have the most intelligence out of all races. Smarter than humans, they are so intelligent they have created a device that could fly.
In the medival period where flying doesn't exist more than magic, the demons have already created a device that even low-level mages could use.
Isn't that genius?
While Ren was deep in thought sitting on the cushion, a panicked voice came out from a man who hurriedly opened the door with a dark face.
"C-Chief! We have got.. letter of war!!"
