Rimuru's Journey For His Beloved(Arifureta From Common Place to World Strongest)

Faea Belgaen

"I am Alfrerick Hypist, an elder of Faea Belgaen, i've heard of your request, but before that, i'd like to ask, where did you hear the name "Liberators?" The elderly elf asked

"From the creator of one of the Great Dungeon, Orcus, he told us their story" Rimuru answered

The elderly elf took a good look at Rimuru before smiling, he then asked

"Forgive me, but would you mind showing me some kind of proof?"

Of course, no one would believe the claim of having to meet one of the creators of the Great Dungeon without proof

"It's ok, someone that's wise as you wouldn't believe such a claim with no proof" Rimuru answered "Hajime, if you would please"

Hajime then put his hand out towards the elder, showing him the ring and the engrave symbol on it

"I see, this certainly looks like his symbol, would you mind telling me where you obtained it?" He asked further

Rimuru could see Hajime getting annoyed by all the questions, but he told him to just calm down, through thought communication

"We got it from one of the Great Dungeon after making it to the end"

"Hmm, alright, your allowed to stay in Faea Belgaen, by the power of my name, i'll let you stay"

"Hold on, wait a minute! We only have business with the Great Tree, if there's no problem then we'll continue heading towards the Great Tree" Hajime blurted out

Rimuru was thinking the same thing, except he didn't choose to say it out loud, why? Because he noticed the elder is someone who's smart and very wise, he wouldn't try to keep them without any reason

As expected, Ciel confirmed what he had thought

《Master, it's currently impossible for our "guide" to bring us to the Great Tree》

》huh? What do you mean, "Currently impossible"?《

《Master, the fog near the Great Tree is thicker than other parts of the Sea of Trees, even demi-humans get lost, they can only bring us there, during certain cycles when the fog is weakend》 Ciel explained

》ahh, i see thanks Ciel《

(I swear, they love to forget all the important details) i thought

"Im afraid that's currently impossible for you to go there" the elder said

This confused Hajime while the bunnies started to sweat as they realize what they had forgotten, Yue who noticed the bunnies sweating came up with a thought why

"Wait, what do you mean?" Hajime asked

"Near the Great Tree, the fog there is specially thick, even us demi-humans get lost there, only at certain cycle when the fog is weakened can you go there, it's suppose to be common knowlage for demi-humans"

he said saying the last part with a sigh, this pretty much confirmed what Yue was thinking, now it's just a matter of how to punish them

Hajime glared over at the tribe only to see them avoiding his glare while sweating

"Oy! What's the meaning of this?!" He asked

"Ah, yeah, i forgot about that, what can i say, there was a lot happening and, i've only been there once when i was a child soo i forgot about it"

Kam who was desperately trying to find an excuse said, Hajime and Yue who was beyond irritated glared at Kam more

"Ehh, umm, Shea! And the others too! Why didn't you tell me about the cycle? You were guiding to right?" He said blaming the others
