Dwarf Race.
Speaking of Dwarves, they are a race that often appears in games, and their characteristics are very obvious: small stature and skill in forging. Various architectural wonders or famous swords in games are mostly the work of Dwarves. And Dwarves have another characteristic that appears in all their works: this race is addicted to alcohol, a fervent fan of alcohol.

Rimuru recalled the information he knew from his previous life.
If he wanted to build a village, Dwarf craftsmen were indeed the most desired talents to recruit. And with the abilities of the Dwarf race, they might even be able to build structures from his previous life. Thinking of this, Rimuru suddenly felt invigorated.
Little Tsukasa Astrea said, "Then you will choose a team to take you to the Dwarf King's country, the Armed Nation Dwargon. I'll warn you beforehand, the Dwarf King's strength is a bit stronger than yours now. Don't cause trouble there. If any problems arise, I won't help you."
"Are you going too, Little Tsukasa?"
Rimuru was a bit surprised.
"Of course I'm going. Don't forget that we, like you, have just reincarnated into this world. Although I know more things, I haven't actually seen them with my own eyes. As one of the strong individuals in this world, of course I want to see the Dwarf King."
In the records of akasha, the Dwarf King's strength has reached the "Awakened Demon Lord" rank.
His current strength is even above this Slime's, because Rimuru's current strength isn't even a Demon Lord Candidate, let alone an Awakened Demon Lord. Although this Slime has a Storm Dragon inside him, Rimuru can at most use the Storm Dragon's magic power, and cannot use all of the Storm Dragon's abilities.
However, this guy just reincarnated with such a strong start, and will undoubtedly become an Awakened Demon Lord in the future. Apart from anything else, the Storm Dragon within him is a strong individual of Awakened Demon Lord level or higher. If he possesses the Storm Dragon's magicules and still cannot become an Awakened Demon Lord, it can only mean that this Slime is utterly useless.
"Lord Rimuru and Lady Little Tsukasa are going to Dwargon? Then my son, Rigur, can guide the two lords." Rigurd, who had caught up, heard Little Tsukasa Astrea and Rimuru's arrangements and immediately put forward a guide for them, without needing to trouble Rimuru to gather everyone. As for the person he recommended, the two naturally accepted, after all, he was just a guide.
Next, Rimuru went with Rigurd to select the travel companions, while Little Tsukasa Astrea went to find Shiro. These days, Shiro had been hunting in the forest, but only for the village's food, not indiscriminately killing. However, it was good to see Shiro working hard towards becoming an Awakened Demon Lord herself, but the efficiency of doing so was still too low.
But currently, there truly wasn't a better way. After all, it was a relatively peaceful era now. Without war, it wasn't easy to harvest the souls of tens of thousands of people. Although with Shiro's strength, she could easily slaughter a city, doing so would definitely cause many problems. Not to mention whether human heroes would act, even some Demon Lords might jump out to interfere.
Although these were just her conjectures, maybe no one would care about this matter at all. But if one didn't consider the consequences before doing things, then if the worst case truly occurred, there would be no countermeasures at all. Moreover, their original world didn't seem to be in a hurry, so they didn't need to be too anxious either. They would always find an opportunity if they waited patiently.
Since she wanted Rimuru to establish a Monster Nation, then the human side would definitely not remain indifferent. Coupled with the fact that this Great Forest occupies a very important transportation position on the world map, if a nation were to be established, there might even be a great war. Wouldn't that be Shiro's chance to become an Awakened Demon Lord? It would even be enough for Rimuru to awaken as a Demon Lord. The population of a country is not just tens of thousands; that number is trivial.
"Shiro, come here."
"Understood."
Shiro heard Little Tsukasa Astrea's voice and simply pulled a finger. The lizard, as large as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, was completely dismembered before her eyes. Blood-stained spider silk radiated a colder, sharper glint than a blade in the sunlight. The battle she witnessed Rimuru have earlier gave Shiro a lot of inspiration. Her spider silk possessed both the characteristics of steel wire and sticky silk, allowing her to imitate Rimuru's fighting style. Rather, as a spider, using spider silk in combat would be much more natural and effective for her, far surpassing Rimuru, who could only use sticky silk to set traps.
Just like now.
She could manipulate spider silk to fight, and even use the sticky properties to control an opponent's movements. Her spider silk was much stronger than Rimuru's sticky silk, as her spider silk's strength increased with her attributes and was a part of her body.
After packing these things into her storage space, Shiro returned to the village, handed the food to the Goblins responsible for cooking, and then went to the meeting point Little Tsukasa Astrea had arranged for her. As for the storage space skill, it was a derivative skill of the Space Magic Little Tsukasa Astrea had taught her. Although she herself possessed a talent for space, because this world lacked a system for acquiring skills, she could only obtain skills through this method.
"Little Tsukasa."
"Hmm, as I told you before, we're going out now. Although there shouldn't be any fighting, just in case, you should still come along." Little Tsukasa Astrea couldn't casually make a move for certain reasons, especially against opponents whose strength might require her to use her Divine Authority to win, even more so.
After all, if her Divine Authority were activated, those hidden cheaters would definitely notice, and then the trouble would be quite big. Moreover, as an original angel outside of the records, if her racial identity were exposed, it would definitely attract a lot of trouble.
So she couldn't make a move outside, and this was where Shiro needed to step in.
Although she had warned that Slime not to cause trouble in the Dwarf King's territory, she always liked to be thorough in her actions. Shiro was her backup. Although Shiro was not yet an Awakened Demon Lord and her level was not as high as the Dwarf King's, Shiro was half a cheater, so she should still be able to fight the Dwarf King to a draw.
After all, the Dwarf King didn't have a cheater skill.
"Then Shiro and I will go ahead."
After Little Tsukasa Astrea and Shiro met up, they found Rimuru and the others. She saw that Rimuru seemed to want to choose mounts for the two of them, and quickly refused. She didn't want to ride on the back of a Direwolf Clan member without a vehicle, getting her face full of wind and looking utterly disheveled.
Then, to Rimuru's astonished expression, the two used their flying skill and flew away right in front of him.
