Chapter 135: The Wizard’s Commission
After watching Maru and Demetrius leave the farm, Leon went straight to the meteorite. He tapped on its unchanged surface. Aside from making his fingers ache, there was no sign that it had hollowed out after the purple Slime’s fluids had seeped out.
“If I were you, I’d use a high-strength pickaxe to break it open, not my hand.”
Just as Leon was about to crouch down and peer through the crack to examine the meteorite’s internal structure, Wizard Rasmodius’s voice rang in his ear.
“Wizard Rasmodius? When did you get here?” Leon asked curiously, seeing the wizard already standing beside the meteorite.
“Your farm’s barrier was triggered, so I came to see what happened,” Rasmodius explained. “When the purple Slime’s slime started flowing out, I should have warned you—but seeing you had a decent sense of danger, I chose to observe instead.”
“So, before the meteorite cracked open, you didn’t know there was a Slime inside?” Leon asked, intrigued.
“That’s right. The shell of an Iridium-star meteorite blocks magic extremely well. I didn’t notice there was a living purple Slime inside.”
As he spoke, Rasmodius extended his hand and conjured nine Slime figures in the air. They looked identical in shape but varied greatly in color.
“Look, Slimes are special creatures. They can form in many ways, and their color reflects their elemental type. Each type has its own traits. For example, the green Slimes you’ve met in the mines represent life. Aside from the basic Slime characteristics, they breed quickly, which is an ability given by their elemental nature. Most Slimes are born following the natural elements of this world.”
