I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 128

◆◆◆ Spada Castle ◆◆◆

“I apologize for summoning you so suddenly. Konzo, Shelly. I never thought you’d come all the way to Libero.”

Lord Spada addressed the three who were kneeling with words of apology.

“No, thank you for giving me the chance to meet him.”

The dwarf, called Konzo, looked up and expressed his gratitude to Lord Spada.

Of course, it was gratitude for the visit to the Magic Armor Guild and the Apothecary Guild, suggested by Brave.

“Through this event, I was able to make a connection with him, and it seems he has a good impression of me.”

Konzo, with a body that embodied the stout and stocky dwarf, placed a small barrel of liquor in front of him.

“What’s that?”

“It’s wind bee honey mead. He gave this to me.”

Wind bee honey mead is not cheap. Cruz giving it to him is proof that he has good intentions.

In fact, Cruz has a good impression of Konzo, the receptionist whose name he didn’t even know, because he taught him so much.

“That’s great news. Keep up the good work.”

“Yes, of course.”

“So, how are things at the Apothecary Guild, Shelly?”

“Yes. I believe we also established a friendly relationship with him. He even gave me a box of Treant fruit.”

Shelly, a fox-eared woman with blue eyes and long silver hair tied up, responded to Lord Spada.

“Hmm. I’m glad to hear things are going well with the Apothecary Guild too.”

Lord Spada felt reassured knowing that Konzo and Shelly, heads of their respective guilds, had established ties with Cruz.

Konzo and Shelly felt the same. With more materials coming in, the guilds would thrive and craftsmen would grow.

Of course, Konzo and Shelly, as guild masters, usually don’t do front desk work. They only did so today since Cruz might show up.

Had Cruz decided not to visit the guilds, Brave’s party members would have been dispatched to the guilds right away.

The goal, of course, was to introduce him to each guild master.

The plan was to win Cruz over to the city even if just a little, and it could be called a success.

“Also, something caught my attention. He didn’t seem to know much about healing potions or how to use them.”

“The same goes for the Magic Armor Guild. He didn’t seem to know even the basics of magical equipment. He said he’d never used one.”

“Oh, can I say something too? He seemed to have no idea about skill acquisition. That might be because he’s a slime, though.”

Testimonies from the heads of various guilds and the cathedral supported the idea that Cruz was far from ordinary.

Spada thought it was incredible that he made it to the 30th floor without any magical equipment or healing potions.

On the flip side, it also meant he was strong enough to reach the 30th floor without relying on any of those things.

“We’re gathering information on that as well, but we’ve found nothing.”

I initially assumed he came from some remote, undiscovered dungeon. That would account for not knowing about magical equipment and potions, but not his ignorance of levels and skills.

That’s when Logan, the Adventurers’ Guild Master, suggested the involvement of an unknown noble. That would make his lack of knowledge more believable.

The story itself is hard to accept, but it’s the only explanation that fits.

Lord Spada kept reflecting, but his thoughts always arrived at the same conclusion. This incident only made it feel more plausible.

“So, he visited Libero too?”

“Yes. He learned a skill and made a donation. This is the donation.”

With that, Libero took out a gold coin wrapped in cloth.

“What! He donated a gold coin?”

This surprised not only Lord Spada but also Konzo and Shelly.

Gold coin donations are uncommon even among high-ranking adventurers, since they must fund their own gear.

And yet, Cruz thought it was worth donating a gold coin after just a few days here. Or so everyone believed.

In reality, Cruz just happened to only have gold coins on hand, but no one here is aware of that.

“This is valuable information. Thank you, Libero.”

“Not at all. Additionally, although this may already be known, he appears to have a fondness for women. After acquiring the skill, he proceeded to the mating room.”

“That’s something I’m aware of. Word is, he intends to purchase a female slave.”

“Oh my, is that so?”

After that, the three gave their report on Cruz to Lord Spada and each went back to their respective posts.

That’s why the receptionists at each guild weren’t young women this time.

Under normal circumstances, young women handle the reception.
