This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Book 5: Chapter 36: Certified Translator Slime Has Come Online

Morning of the next day, I used the excuse of strolling in the vicinity and left the city alone to take the slime with me to Demon Race Territory.

Although the slimes strength has had a considerable improvement and can be said to have surpassed many low-level Demons like goblins and the sort, the aggro it attracts from all Demons still hasnt changed. It seems that in the view of Demons, its a tasty dango that every Demon is looking forward to biting into.

Because I didnt bring a weapon along, my grass harvesting efficiency wasnt able to keep up with Aleyas, so I wasnt in the mood to get entangled with those low-level Demons. Instead, I went straight into the lairs of those stronger Demons. For example, those two-to-three meter tall Giant Multi-colored Spiders or those Large-sized Porcupines that are born with sharp spikes all over. I would basically hammer the opponents head in the instant I saw them, striving to kill them in one blow, thus also giving them a painless one. Afterwards, I threw it over to the slime for cleanup.

Staying outside overnight would make Aleya and the rest worry, so in the middle of the afternoon, after I killed the last Level 6 DemonSteel Feathered Falconin the surroundings, I first plucked off several of its most important feathers. Their purpose is to be one of the source materials for making armor for Aleya. Then, I threw the rest of the Steel Feathered Falcon over to the slime.

Aleyas birthday is coming up soon, so I need to prepare properly. My tentative idea is to make a suit of lightweight, portable, and strong armor for her, so naturally Ill confiscate whatever fitting materials I see.

The slime expressed dissatisfaction towards my act of stealing and hoarding, but still let out a joyous sound when it gorged itself:

MmmMmMMmits really deliciousthis king can sense his own power rising continuously. If this continues, then Ill be able to escape from this *******s evil clutches very soonnonono, I still need to endure it for now. This king must continue to endure and look for an opportunity to sneakily escapewuudelicious. Feels like next month is getting closer fast

After it completely swallowed the Steel Feathered Falcons corpse, the slime jumped onto my head and lay on it.

I was unable to stop myself from feeling it and asked:

Youre not going to eat my hair too, right?

The slime protested:

This king is simply lying here! If I wanted to eat, then I would wait until Im strong enough to swallow you whole. Eating hair wont make me stronger.

It groaned for a while, then suddenly commented dejectedly:

When will this king be stronger, sigh. Why speak about eating you when I cant even beat those low-level Demons.

I asked:

When youve become stronger, what do you plan on doing?

The slime replied as-a-matter-of-factly:

Ill go find those guys in the sky and take revenge. This king conscientiously worked for them ever since he was born. The result? When this king lost his value, they ruthlessly killed this king. When this king returns, this king will kill them too. Oh, speaking of which, boy, you have quite the good aptitude. When this king attacks the Spirit Realm, this king will seal you asmmthe Suicide Squads First Vanguard! Ouch.

I slapped its head and the slime obediently closed its mouth.

It lazily lay on top of my head and its originally formless body became more like a spread-out sphere. I reckoned that it would evolve again when we returned this time, but thats just a level up to Level 3. Its distance from Aleya and Felitas level is still very far. If it cant even be counted as one of West-Resisting Citys main combat forces, then theres even less of a need to talk about making its own dreams come true.

But the current West-Resisting City still doesnt have a use for it, so it has sufficient time to become stronger. Compared to Aleya and the others, the slimes method of becoming stronger is the simplest. Theres no need for it to train and it encounters no bottlenecks when breaking through and its growth curve is very smooth. All it needs to do is eat/

After returning, the slime kept his promise. It acted as if it were pondering for a while, then said:

Oh. This king remembers, isnt it just ancient writing. Bring it over to this king and this king will know its meaning. Such an insignificant trifle is naturally not a problem for this king. Hmph hmph.

I originally wanted to bring the slime over to Felita, but after some careful thought, I remembered that Felitas the child of a human and Demon. In contrast, the slime is the Demon Race aggro-attractingGod Era Weapon. I feel a bit uneasy to let the two meet, so after considering the pros and cons, I ultimately went to take some of Felitas recently read ancient texts for the slime to translate.

Oh, mmthis section, this sections meaning is more or less about saying prayers to the Sun God. Its one of the magics to clear up the weather. But the probability of a successful cast isnt too high. In fact, the success rate of weather magic generally isnt too high and moreover, it consumes a lot of magic power. This magic is the inverse magic to praying for rain. Usually, its used to call the sun out when the rainy season lasts for too long and starts to flood crops. The chant is

As for this section. Let this king take a lookoh. This section will be very difficult. According to your view, that sorcerer is roughly at the middle of Level 5? It would be best for her to not come into contact with this magic. This magic is for turning the earth into a giant. For all magic, its easier to destroy than to create; its easier to cast substance-less magic than it is to cast substantial magic. From this point of view, its very difficult to give a molded earthen giant its own consciousness. She can go learn this once she reaches Level 7.

Make her stop studying this book. This book is about the past, its about sorcery; its about research on the underworld and reincarnation, have you heard about it? For research on methods to resurrect people, several lives isnt enough. Except for some brain-damaged people that still believe in this branch of knowledge, the majority of sorcerers regard such a book as a banned book.

This section, that sorcerer annotated it wrong. This here isnt using wind as a blade but rather use when the wind is like a blade; that is, its magic that can only be used in stormy conditions. Let this king take a lookthis section here is magic used in the ancient times for exploring hurricane eyes, there shouldnt be use for it in these modern times.

The slime extended two tentacles from its sides and flipped through a book that was about its own size. After flipping through the book, it went to flip through the next book. I, on the other hand, wrote down the comments it made, then placed paper clips on corresponding pages. After about half an hour passed, it had flipped through all of the books on the table once. The slime retracted its tentacles and lazily commented:

All Ive done is given it a rough translation, however much understood will depend on that sorcerers perception. For a thing like magic, you either have extremely high talent and can learn it by yourself by reading books or youll need to find a guide on it. In fact, there are practically none in the world that can learn magic through self-study. The foundational initiation is already had enough, let alone self-studying these ancient tomes.

As the slime spoke, it laid onto the floor and said:

This king is sleepythis king is going to sleep. Dont bother this king anymore in the short time, quickly leave.

It was acting like this place is its own domain, as if its the boss here.

But it did, after all, play a fairly important role today, so I didnt mind it too much. I carried these translated ancient texts and returned.

I dont know if this will be able to help Felita. It would be wonderful if it helps her relax a little.
