The Return of the Void Dragon

New Companions

At the peak of dawn, I awoke. Though us True Dragons nor Dragonoids need sleep, its a perfect way to regenerate lost magicules or too simply kill time.

Waking Milim with a nudge on the shoulder. Ranga jumps out of my shadow, eager to follow through with todays plan.

"Sorry Ranga, but you'll have to stay patrol in case any bad actors decide to attack this camp." I had to break the news unfortunately.
Whining like a puppy, he accepted the task and went out for patrol. Food also seems to be a problem. We now have over 200 goblins and wolves in the "camp". Food is scarce and there isn't crops, hunting and gathering is currently the method, and it isn't working out without tools.

I don't know the goal I have with this village, to build a nation? To have a safe space for my family and friends? These are questions I have for myself, I don't feel much attachment, so this will have to be an question I will have to ask myself in the future.

Walking to Dwargon isn't an option, so we'll fly instead of using transportation. Grabbing Milim's hand, we set off into the sky at incredible speeds. Arriving a few minutes later, we're met with a long line. I won't lie, I am impatient, and watching Milim who was fidgeting, I sighed and decided to teleport us into the front gate. But we'll have to do it in secret, unfortunately one of the spies in the kingdom were watching quite intently as the events take place.

For one to teleport is no easy feat, and as that, the event was reported to King Gazel himself.
Milim was very excited, to spend time with another family member, which she can't remember when that had ever happened. Dragging Rimuru to stores and restaurants, you would think that she was an ecstatic child pulling onto an exasperated parent.
"This is so delicious!" Milim exclaimed, with both hands holding ice creams and different desserts. It seems she has quite the sweet tooth.

But sadly all things must come to an end, Rimuru had a main goal for coming to the Dwargon. The artisans that would be responsible for the future and prosperity of his nation. Walking through an alley way as a shortcut to meet Kaijjn, gangsters ambushed Rimuru and Milim, which promptly made Milim sock every one of them in the face with a punch, nearly ending their lives.

"Milim, what did I say about bringing unnecessary attention to yourself?..."

Milim looked back, as if I was going to praise her, I sigh as I splash a full potion on the knocked out hooligans and make way towards Kaijin. But before that could happen, another emergency was sounded, a soldier was running frantically about how there were injured workers in the mines, seeing as I can take advantage of the situation I brought out a barrel of full potion, and handed it to him, his companion that was rushing as well asked,

"Is it safe to trust random humans?!"

"What other choice do we have" he responded exasperated.

Carrying the barrel they rushed down into the mines to save the workers. I decided to wait at the entrance much to Milim's protest. Several minutes later, 3 dwarves including the soldier walked out, exhausted and full with adrenaline, the soldier thanks Rimuru and Milim for the potion, which Milim takes credit for, even though she did nothing.

The three dwarves who introduced themselves as Myrd, Garm and Dord. Garm thanks Rimuru with tears in his eyes, as he had previously lost his arm, which miraculously grew back with the potion. How could this be? Is this higher grade then the full potions that are sold for government usages only? The soldier pondered, I better send this to King Gazel for inspection.

I ask the three dwarve brothers where I can find Kaijjn, and fortunately they were childhood friends. Told you giving them the potion would come in handy. Milim and I follow the three brothers to the workshop that Kaijjn works at, at this point in time, Milim was dying of boredom, typical but I'll have to treat her with something later on as a reward.
