To give a man a fish is not as good as to teach him how to fish. For the Demon Country Federation to develop, it must have a stable source of income.
As a Transmigrator, Rimuru naturally wouldn't embarrass his predecessors in this regard.
Searching for high-quality grain crop seeds and handing them over to the Dryad tribe for cultivation;
Fully utilizing the Lizardmen's ability to freely traverse the Great Marsh for fishery production and freshwater resource collection;
The Goblin tribe, on the other hand, would domesticate unevolved monsters, raising them for food, as mounts, or as contract beasts.
Especially contract beasts, they would likely have a very good market.
As for the female monsters like Shuna, Shion, and Kawaii, they would work together to produce clothing, perfume, and similar items.
With gentlemen like Rimuru and William present, there would be no lack of competitiveness.
Another point is the location of the Jura Great Forest.
It borders the Dwarf Kingdom, the Winged Kingdom, the Orc Kingdom, the Magic Guidance Dynasty, the Puppet Nation, and even the East Plains where the East Empire is located.
Through the Blumund Dynasty, trade routes to the Western Nations could even be opened.
If one were to truly compare it, it's somewhat like the Ottoman Turks in the Middle Ages, connecting the Eurasian continent.
It can be said to be the hub of all hubs!
A transportation hub means high foot traffic, and high foot traffic means immense consumption.
Food, clothing, shelter, transportation—every industry is a business opportunity.
Rimuru naturally wouldn't let it slip by!
Given a bit more time, she could fully maximize the Jura Great Forest's advantage as a transportation hub.
The only problem now is—security!
"Ciel, using Earth's laws as a blueprint, help me formulate a legal code. The core principles are co-existence of humans and demons, protection of merchant interests, establishment of legal bottom lines, and methods for handling crimes."
Ciel: "Okay, I will complete it for you very quickly."
Rimuru was very relieved about Ciel, feeling extremely comfortable inside.
In a World of magic, anything is possible.
From the beginning of the town's construction until now, less than a month has passed, but the town has already taken initial shape.
One has to admit, there's strength in numbers!
It's impossible to expect a horse to run without feeding it grass!
To show encouragement, Rimuru bestowed names upon orc lord, the four Pig Head Generals, and hundreds of the best-performing Orc Tribe members.
This immediately caused a frenzy within the entire Orc Tribe.
Rimuru's naming symbolized their official integration into this large family.
Their leader successfully rose to the upper echelons.
And they also began to have mid-level cadres who could stand on their own; all of this held significant meaning.
In contrast, there were the Lizardmen.
Rimuru was not stingy either, bestowing names upon Gabiru and several high-ranking Lizardmen.
Once again, a group of masters was successfully created, allowing them to successfully advance to the Dragonborn race!
The power of example is infinite, and this naming resulted in another increase in efficiency.
Souei's work is truly reliable; in a very short time, he successfully poached Kajin along with his three brothers.
With the addition of Dwarf craftsmen, the town's construction progressed even faster.
Even Rimuru's envisioned "Spring Water - Defense Tower" defense system began to enter the practical verification stage.
For a craftsman of Master Kajin's caliber, the hardware aspect is not really an issue; the real problem is how to distinguish between friend and foe.
magic crystals are not that "intelligent"; with his Wisdom, the Defense Tower must be personally operated by someone.
However, this also introduces another significant flaw and shortcoming to the Defense Tower's power—
That is the choice of person to operate the Defense Tower!
If the magic level is too low, it can easily result in a Defense Tower, built with immense human and material resources, having little defensive effect.
If there's too much selfishness, or if mind-control magic is used, the Defense Tower even risks being exploited by the enemy.
Rimuru smiled without speaking about this.
Under the calculations of King of Wisdom Ciel, monster aura recognition, malicious behavior recognition, and even a damage accumulation calculation rule were specifically added to the Defense Tower to avoid fatal errors from friendly fire.
When Kajin heard Rimuru's design concept, he was immediately awestruck.
This could be said to have considered every aspect!
Amazing!
If this Defense Tower system truly works, it might change the war situation on this continent in the future.
After some thought, Kajin discovered another problem: what if enemy units attacked the Defense Tower from a long distance?
War is not a game; armies can completely use magic cannons, or long-range attack methods similar to "Great Annihilation Array" or "Four Seal Spirit Array" to first destroy the Defense Tower.
Master Kajin's question certainly hit the nail on the head.
Rimuru thought for a moment and said, "How about adding an anti-capture magic to the Defense Tower? It must enter a specific distance for the Defense Tower to be seen. If the distance is too far, the eye cannot capture it."
Kajin: "Don't underestimate human memory! As long as you don't spare magicules, a unified barrage is also possible!"
Rimuru: "Then put the ultra-long-range Defense Tower into a different space."
Kajin's eyes turned into dots.
Seriously, are you serious?
It's just a Defense Tower, and it's even placed in a different space at long range.
How obsessed are you with not being able to attack if the distance isn't enough?!
If that could really be done, then the Demon Country Federation would truly be impregnable!
Although Kajin thought Rimuru's idea was whimsical, for a craftsman, the temptation to design a building that could be passed down through the ages was too great, and he wholeheartedly engaged in frantic discussions with Rimuru.
When he learned that Rimuru could casually destroy, traverse, compress, and open space, Master Kajin's eyes once again turned into dots.
Seriously, who exactly is Rimuru?
Playing with space like someone with countless money going to a nightclub for pleasure, this is too amazing!
As the Spring Water - Defense Tower system gradually moved from theory to reality, Kajin and his three subordinates became increasingly excited.
It's truly great to be in the Demon Country Federation!
It's truly great to work under Rimuru!
Dragon Capital.
"What? Say what you just said again!"
A massive monster was held casually in Milim's hand, like a little chick.
Feeling the aura from Milim, the massive monster almost fainted from fright.
"Is it true? Is what you just said true?"
Milim showed her small fangs, her ahoge twitching, extremely excited.
The great monster was about to faint, but intimidated by Milim's might, he slowly recounted the news he had heard through rumors.
Milim's face immediately lit up with excitement.
"A little guy calling himself a Demon Lord appeared in the Jura Great Forest, and a town also appeared out of nowhere in the forest, along with a large number of powerful guys. Interesting, truly too interesting!"
After Milim finished speaking, she casually threw the monster, who was about to faint, onto the ground, and then instantly leaped into the sky, speeding towards the Jura Great Forest.
After Milim disappeared without a trace, the large monster that Milim had casually thrown down instantly died, and was then devoured completely by a group of even stronger monsters.
As if it had never appeared in this World!
And in a secluded place far from the Dragon Capital, a clown wearing a clown suit and a mask slowly brushed away the image in the crystal ball.
Finally, the message was conveyed to Milim's ears, it really wasn't easy!
The time it took was also several times more than he had imagined.
However, the advantage of doing so was also obvious—safety!
Thinking of the scene of Milim and Rimuru clashing, the clown couldn't help but smile eerily.
Milim is definitely one of the oldest and most unprovoked beings in this World!
He's really looking forward to it!
What the clown didn't know was that while he was watching the scenery, Rimuru was also watching the scenery.
The super invincible cute Milim is finally coming, and her honey is ready!
Milim, come into my bowl!
