"Your experiences are quite dramatic."
Rimuru commented with an expression of wanting more.
"Although you look quite unreliable, what you know is unexpectedly extensive. Truly can't judge a book by its cover—no, can't judge a dragon by its appearance."
Rimuru continued.
"Of course!"
The Storm Dragon said somewhat proudly, not noticing at all that Rimuru had also insulted him.
At this time, the Storm Dragon heard another voice—it was clearly Morax speaking.
"I must say, you're quite impressive. You even blew away the Demon Lord's castle and destroyed things at will. I can only say your ending up like this—you brought it upon yourself."
Mo Li's evaluation was extremely standard, not giving face at all because of the Storm Dragon's strength.
"Just like many fairy tales, the Demon Lord brings disaster to the people, and finally a hero appears to subjugate the Demon Lord and become the people's hero. The only difference is that you're a dragon species who can't die. Even the hero couldn't kill you, so you can still live."
Morax gave an example to compare the Storm Dragon.
"And from your description, the hero who subjugated you should be one of the world's top powerhouses. Converting it this way, you're quite strong."
When praising the hero, Morax also complimented the Storm Dragon by the way.
At the beginning, when Morax said he brought it upon himself, he was somewhat angry, but in a flash, hearing Noel praise his strength, he became proud again.
"Of course! How could I, Storm Dragon Veldora, not be strong? I can be said to be one of the top one or two strongest in this world."
At this time, Rimuru and Morax were somewhat speechless.
Just now he said he was the strongest in the world, and in a flash, he said he was one of the top one or two strongest in this world. Changed quite fast.
At this time, Rimuru made a proposal.
"Storm Dragon Veldora, let's become good friends."
"If you're making friends, count me in too. Although you've done many bad things, I didn't sense any malice from your tone. And from what you said, those bad things weren't done intentionally by you. As long as someone guides you a bit, things will change. And you probably lack friends quite a bit, right? So if you're making friends, count me in too?"
Morax was also happy to become friends with him. On one hand, Veldora's nature wasn't bad. Although he did many bad things, he also did good things—at least the monsters in the Jura Forest were well protected under his威势. On the other hand, after Rimuru establishes the nation, many people will be needed. Moreover, a dragon species is also a top-tier combat power that can bring many conveniences to the nation. Third, although Veldora was sealed in the early period, Veldora's magical energy helped Rimuru a lot. Without Veldora, Tempest (the Demon Federation) couldn't have had so many high-level combat forces.
Hearing Rimuru andMorax's words, Veldora's eyes immediately lit up, but he still spoke insincerely.
"Are, are you joking? I am one of the four great dragon species of this world, the so-called calamity-class Storm Dragon Veldora. You actually want to be friends with me. Aren't, aren't you afraid?"
"If, if you don't want to, you can also refuse. It's not like I absolutely have to be friends with you."
Rimuru said weakly.
"What's there to fear about you? And if you don't want to, we two will just leave. You wanted to chat, and we chatted with you. Now you don't want to be friends with us, so we're leaving."
Morax said this and started walking out while holding Rimuru.
"Right, right! If you don't want to, we're leaving."
HearingMorax's words, Rimuru became a bit bolder too.
"Don't, don't leave! Where did I say I didn't want to? I just wanted to consider it."
Seeing this situation, Veldora became anxious.
"Really? Have you considered it? If you don't agree, we're really leaving."
Morax said while making motions to walk out.
"Seeing as you two repeatedly requested, I'll reluctantly become friends with you two."
Veldora said with a tsundere expression.
"Then we should truly thank the great Storm Dragon Veldora for being willing to become friends with us two small monsters."
Moraxteased.
"Then from now on, we're friends."
At this time, Rimuru said excitedly.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you two names. You two should also give me a name—consider it a meeting gift between good friends."
Veldora said somewhat excitedly.
"You two are still in an unnamed state. If I give you names, you'll receive my blessing and become named monsters. You two give me a name too—how about it? They keep calling me Storm Dragon, which I'm really not used to."
Veldora stroked his chin with his dragon claw.
After some discussion, they finally decided on the Storm Dragon's and the slime's names.
They would be called Veldora Tempest and Rimuru Tempest.
"Have you decided on your name? My friend."
At this time, Veldora looked at Morax and said.
"I've decided. I'll be called Morax Tempest."
Morax decided. Choosing this name was partly because he had the old gentleman's skills, and partly because Morax wanted to become someone who gave a sense of security like the Geo Archon Morax. And other things aside, the name Morax was truly handsome.
"Morax Tempest—it's a good name."
Veldora pondered and said.
"Good. Since that's the case, I, Storm Dragon Veldora, hereby grant you two the names Rimuru Tempest and Morax Tempest."
Veldora shouted loudly.
After receiving Veldora's naming, both Rimuru and Morax felt a response from their bodies, and even their magical energy surged dramatically.
"Gamer, open my template."
At this time, Morax spoke out.

"I have another idea. I have a special skill called Contractor. Let's make a contract—a contract witnessing our friendship. How about it?"
Morax proposed.
"Great! That's a good idea. Making a contract about our friendship—nothing could be better."
Hearing Morax's words, Veldora agreed.
"I, I also agree."
Rimuru chimed in.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Morax didn't waste words and directly used his special skill Contractor to draft an equal friendship contract.
Equal Contract:
[From this day forward, Morax Tempest, Veldora Tempest, and Rimuru Tempest—the three shall become friends, helping each other mutually, never betraying one another. Those who violate this contract shall suffer the Punishment of Devouring Rock.]
