I like traveling the most

"Don't let your mind wander during a battle, Miss Nabe.♦♦  ♞♦"

"...Tsk!"

Hearing Kobayashi's warning, Nabelar made an extremely unhappy sound.

She really didn't observe her surroundings just now, and her attention was all on Ainz. After all, she was a maid of the Great Tomb, and even if the Supreme Supreme ordered her to do so, she would still do so subconsciously.

But this does not mean that she will ignore herself.

What a joke, Goblins, who are not as good as low-level creatures, can be easily defeated even without magic but with a sealed long sword.

But this is not Kobayashi's fault. Magic casters are fragile, and it is common sense to output under the protection of the vanguard. Magic casters like Nabelar, who are so powerful that they ignore the difference in flesh, are abnormal.

And when Nabe wanted to make a move to save her composure, Kobayashi waved his hands a few times, and a large net appeared out of thin air, controlling all the jumping goblins, and then they were all torn into pieces by the sharp silk threads.

If Ainz is the representative of violence, then Xiaolin is the embodiment of elegance and gorgeous realism.

The two have their own strengths in fighting, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are so strong that they are far away from Peter and others! So strong that they need to look up to them!

Peter and others were still preparing to fight the goblins to death, but in a blink of an eye, almost all the enemies were conquered.

Lukrut couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, hey, hey, are the newcomers so powerful now? Too exaggerated, right?"

"Hahaha... The gap between people is bigger than that between dogs!... I have completely understood the meaning of this sentence." Nina bit his lip, quite unwilling.

Dyne touched his beard and didn't speak.

But Peter said: "Who said that the strength of newcomers must be weak?"

Yes, no one has said this. Even the [Thirteen Heroes] have already begun to show their extraordinary talents when they just became fledgling adventurers, otherwise they would not become heroes sung by the people.

Although the people of [Black Sword] were not qualified to judge, they believed that Ainz and Krillin would become heroes in the future!

They had such potential!

As the battle went so smoothly, Peter and the others were glad that they didn’t have to fight hard, and they also felt that it was not enough.

Originally, with their strength, they could only fight with five goblins and then solve them one by one, which was a very time-consuming, physically and mentally exhausting method, but now it was over so quickly.

The remaining three or two goblins saw the extraordinary one-hit kill of Ainz and Krillin, and their fighting spirit dropped significantly. They couldn’t make up their minds whether to escape or continue fighting.

As if to completely crush the goblins’ fighting spirit, Ainz swung his giant sword with a big move.

As the sound of wind slicing reached everyone’s ears, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded, and it happened twice in a row.

As everyone predicted, the bodies of the ogres continued to increase. Now there are only two ogres left, one is entangled in the grass, and the other is trembling in fear in front of Ainz.

Ainz turned his helmet towards the last ogre confronting him. As if sensing Ainz's gaze through the gap in his helmet, the ogre groaned strangely and turned around, dropping the stick in his hand and fleeing into the forest. It was faster than the previous attack, but it was impossible to escape.

"Nabe, do it."

The cold command sounded, and Narberal, who was with Krillin, nodded slightly.

"Lightning strike."

The [Lightning strike] that violently shook the air ran away, and with the thunder, it penetrated the body of the fleeing ogre, and even the ogre entangled in the grass behind it, and it easily buried two ogres with just one strike.

Narberal raised her head proudly, as if she was showing off to someone, and the person being shown off also looked at all this with a slight solemnity.

It doesn't need to chant the instant third-level magic. To be able to do this step is at least the sixth level... No, the old man in the empire may not be able to do it. [Black Sword] and others don't have the knowledge to understand this, but Krillin will understand it.

Momo and Nabe, these two are definitely not small characters!

"Run!"

"Run! Run!"

The goblins, who looked at this scene blankly, shouted to run for their lives, wanting to run back to the forest, but Xiaolin was faster than them, and the thread of soul-hunting soon wrapped around them and tore them all to pieces.

The goblins who lost their fighting spirit were not to be feared, and everyone dealt with the goblins one after another.

Not only that, Nina, who did not need to save magic, also used magic to chase them, and the goblins were dead in a blink of an eye, and no one was spared.

In the strong smell of corpses, Dyne used [Minor Injury Treatment] to recover Lukrut and Peter's injuries. Nina, who had nothing to do, pulled out a dagger and cut off the goblin's ears, and at the same time passed on the knowledge to Xiaolin.

Submit the ears to the guild, and you can get the corresponding monster's reward.

Of course, not all monsters are handed over with ears, and different parts will be handed over according to different monsters. However, monsters such as ogres and goblins are mostly ears.

Nina, who cut off the ear with a skilled hand, found that Ainz and Narberal were looking around the ogre, as if they were looking for something.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, I wonder... these monsters may drop items, especially crystals."

Hearing Nina's question, Ainz raised his head and responded.

"Crystals? I've never heard of ogres carrying gems or something like that."

"Is that so? I was just wondering if there were any rare items."

"Indeed, it would be so happy if the ogre also has treasures. And... Mr. Momo is so powerful. Although I knew you were a warrior who was very confident in your abilities, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

After hearing Nina's words, the three people who finished the healing magic also spoke to Ainz:

"That's amazing! We are both warriors, so admirable! How did you develop your arm strength?"

"Just seeing you with Miss Nabe, I think you are very rich, but where is that rare treasure? I have never seen such a valuable sword."

"I deeply feel that what you said in the guild is true. Your strength is enough to keep pace with the well-known strongest warriors in the kingdom. I admire you so much!"

No, it's more than just neck and neck.

He can defeat the troll Gazef, but it won't be that easy. Seeing how relaxed Ainz is and not even nervous, Xiaolin can guarantee that his strength far exceeds that of the Kingdom's warrior captain! You have definitely entered the realm of heroes!

A hero of unknown origin?

interesting.

Narberal showed a proud expression next to her, but Ainz just waved his hands and said modestly: "Thank you, it's just a coincidence."

"What a coincidence..."

Peter and the others smiled bitterly.

"After this battle, I finally deeply understand the saying that there are people outside the world."

"At my level, everyone can easily surpass me."

Ainz's words made Peter and the others smile even deeper.

Peter and others continued to work hard to become stronger, and the rewards they received were never wasted, and were all used to strengthen themselves. It is precisely because we are such partners that we can maintain a good friendship. But even if I look back on all my efforts in the past, I can't imagine myself reaching the same level as Ainz. To Peter and others, Ainz's current position was the ultimate pinnacle that only a few people could reach.

The person traveling with him will become a well-known hero from now on and become a great person who stands at the top of adventurers.

Everyone is so convinced.

Fortunately, they also have another wonderful, outstanding partner.

However, those who have experienced this battle with the "Sword of Darkness" also deeply understand that the other party will definitely be a great hero like Ainz in the future, and blindly following them will only bury their talents.

In this case...

Peter and his companions looked at each other, then nodded secretly.

Sure enough, you can't be too selfish. After this mission is over, let him go with the strong one (Momo). When you are around strong people, you will learn much more than them.

————

Although it was not yet sunset, the group had already started preparing for camping.

Ainz took the wooden stakes given to him and set them up around the camp. Since the entire wagon had to be accommodated, the area of ​​the encampment was quite large.

As Ainz thrust into the stake, Narberal came to the rear.

Turning his head, he saw that she seemed to be suppressing her anger and made a low voice: "You don't need to bother Mr. Momo with this kind of debris, right?"

Ainz, who knew why she was angry, sighed lightly, then looked around and said in a low voice: "Everyone is dividing the work and cooperating. If I am the only one with nothing to do, does that make sense?"

"Didn't you let them see the extraordinary fighting power? As the saying goes, only those who are suitable are suitable. Wouldn't it be better to let the weak do this kind of work?"

"Don't say that. Listen, we need to stand out as strong, but we don't need to create an arrogant image. You should also be cautious in your words and deeds."

Narberal nodded in understanding.

But the expression on his face was clearly unconvinced, and he had to obey Ainz's order only because it was his order.

"Also, talk to Xiaolin more. You know what you should and shouldn't say."

"Why...I know."

Narberal was about to retort, but she forced herself to swallow the next words.

From her performance, we can know that she is loyal enough to suppress her dissatisfaction. On the contrary, it also made Ainz feel uneasy that this might cause a flaw.

Just in case, Ainz revealed his purpose.

"I want to collect intelligence, everything about Xiaolin! This is very important to me!"

"...Yes, Mr. Momo. Whether it's inside or outside, I will empty everything out of him."

"No, you don't have to go to that extent..."

Looking at Narberal with a dangerous look on her face, Ainz felt that she was not trying to evacuate information, but was trying to evacuate Xiaolin's internal organs.

At this time——

"Xiao Lin, why are you laughing all the time? Is there any reason? You are not born to laugh, right?"

"Hey! Luke Root, what are you talking about? Aren't you always smiling?"

"No, I usually only laugh when I meet a beautiful girl."

"Wouldn't that be worse?"

A few people from the [Sword of Darkness] suddenly started joking, which attracted Ainz's attention. It would be better to say that he would pay attention to anything related to Krillin.

"Because laughter is the simplest way to relieve the mood and express friendly social interaction. The most important thing is that laughter requires the use of 17 muscles, while frowning requires 42 muscles."

"...Eh? Is that so?"

What a unique answer.

Several people at [Sword of Darkness] have never heard such an explanation, and they even know the exact number of muscles.

There was no doubt, because Xiao Lin in front of him could receive [the wisdom of the goddess], and there was no reason to deceive them.

Ainz paused his pile-driving action after hearing this.

Although he only had an elementary school diploma, the knowledge about the human body was something that every citizen had to know. After all, it was a dirty world that was so polluted that you couldn't go out without a mask.

In a blink of an eye, he finished most of the work that was still left on his hands, and then walked towards them quickly with Nabelar.

"...I am very interested in your topic, can I join in?"

"Of course! Mr. Momo and Ms. Nabe, you are very welcome!"

Lukeruto smiled and waved.

Nabelar was very unhappy with his sloppy appearance, and Ainz didn't say anything, but simply sat down.

Kobayashi, who was being watched by everyone, did not get nervous. He organized his words and said, "Well... to put it simply, humans have 206 bones and 639 muscles. No, this knowledge applies to most subhumans, such as the goblins and ogres just now, who have no tail vertebrae."

"Haa... although this knowledge is magical, it is useless."

"That's not right, Lukrut-brother. I wonder if you have noticed the way I blocked the goblin's attack just now."

"Hmm, those lines?"

Peter frowned slightly.

They were very careful not to ask about the amazing and gorgeous skills and the fighting style that was different from the whole world, but the more they endured, the more agitated they became.

This was also the case with Ainz.

In YGGDRASIL, there was no such magical fighting style, so he listened very carefully.

"Those strings are not randomly tied, but restrict their joints. If you look closely, you will find that their cross-sections are basically divided into two by the joints."

"Joints..."

"Just like Lukrut's head, it can't rotate a circle, and the same method is used to deal with goblins."

"Those silk threads? As expected..."

"Yes, it's [Goddess's Wisdom]!"

Hearing this answer, everyone understood.

When it comes to martial arts, everyone learns and uses different things, because martial arts require mental and physical strength instead of magic, so everyone always has their own set of martial arts.

"Anyway, Mr. Kobayashi's fighting style is quite gorgeous, even I admire it."

Ainz did not say this as the adventurer Momo, but as the supreme master of the Great Tomb, Ainz Ooal Gown.

Even in the game, he has never seen such magical skills that only exist in anime. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that this is reality, not a game.

"No, no, no, it's the fierce fighting style like Mr. Momo that we envy."

"Really?"

"Yes. Being tall means having a big skeleton, which means having a big muscle group. It's no wonder that Mr. Momo has such super strength. Besides, my fighting style is not suitable for large monsters, such as... dragons."

The implication is that only a tough guy like Momo is suitable to challenge a dragon.

However, Ainz secretly complained.

No, no, no, he admitted that he had a big skeleton, but it was impossible for him to have a big muscle group, because he didn't have any skin, muscles, blood vessels, nerves or internal organs. He was a skeleton magician with only bones!
