I like traveling the most

Enfilia and Nina were successfully resurrected.

Both of them were completely healed of their physical and mental injuries, which made Ainz see the resurrection magic that was different from the game for the first time and exclaimed that it was magical.

Kobayashi said that if Ainz died one day, he would resurrect him once without any reward and unconditionally. Ainz was very moved and decisively refused.

Not to mention that he could not be resurrected as an undead, he did not even want to face the day of his death.

After resurrection, Enfilia expressed her sincere gratitude to Kobayashi. This experience made the pharmacist boy have a deep understanding of the dangerous world, but also had enough growth in comparison, and he would definitely go higher and further in the future.

Lizzie said that she was willing to contribute her knowledge and strength to the kingdom... no, to the Axis Church, and chose to join the Axis Church.

On the other hand, Nina.

She was not very happy... Yes, it was her. When examining the body, Kobayashi and Ainz knew that Nina was a girl.

Even though she knew that Xiaolin was the leader Lin whom she admired so much, Nina still had a sad expression, probably because she was still immersed in the grief of her companions' death. Especially after knowing that Peter and the other two were turned into undead and could not be resurrected after their death, she was even more depressed.

At the same time, everyone also learned why she wanted to become an adventurer and what she wanted to do.

——She wanted to rescue her sister who was kidnapped by the nobles.

Xiaolin arranged for her to go to the capital to join the new construction of the Axis Church. Because of the decree issued by the Golden Princess Lana, most of the slaves were liberated, and there was a high probability that she would find her sister there. Nina, who was originally an Axis believer, also accepted it with pleasure.

At this point, Enfilia and Nina had their own arrangements, and the name of [Black Sword] also dissipated.

But at the same time, a pair of combinations rose up, that is [Black Hero] Momo and [Meiji] Nabe.

The two became famous in one battle.

Originally, the successful rescue of Enfilia was the work of the three, but Xiaolin didn't have much demand for the reputation of adventurers, so he willingly played a supporting role and gave most of the credit to Momo and Nabe, allowing the two to completely steal the show.

Therefore, he successfully upgraded to a Mithril-level adventurer.

Momo once said that he thought he would be promoted to Orichalcum in one go, but he was dissatisfied with only Mithril. Xiaolin felt that the guild probably felt that he had made a lot of efforts and divided their credit, so he felt a little sorry.

In fact, his achievements were really incredible. He could have been directly promoted to the Aluminum-level, but he didn't receive such an evaluation because Momo had no achievements in the past and the investigation of the incident was not sufficient. The guild made such a determination for the sake of caution.

However, at this time, the guild had already recognized Momo as the only two Aluminum-level adventurer teams in the kingdom. By the way, the other one was [Blue Rose].

"Speaking of which, Mr. Momo still has no place to stay, right?"

"I'll stay at a low-level inn..."

"No, no, no, a low-level inn is not worthy of Mr. Momo's status as a Mithril-level adventurer."

I know, of course I know!

Ainz was very excited when he heard what Xiaolin said.

You don't know how expensive it is if you don't manage the household. Even if he made a lot of money on this mission, most of his rewards were taken away by Shalltear and Sebastian's activity funds. Now he can't even afford the activities necessary to maintain his reputation.

"Then how about this? The best inn in the town is opened by an acquaintance of mine. If Mr. Momo doesn't mind, I'll ask her to let you stay at a 10% discount. How about that?"

"Really?!"

"Of course. After all, we are companions who have fought together."

"Thank you very much. I'll be polite then."

Thank you, thank you, Xiaolin!

You are really like a priest now... No, he was originally a priest.

With permission, Ainz checked into the inn that night.

"Well... it's worthy of being the best inn in town. It's a world apart from the low-level inns."

"Hmph, barely worthy of Mr. Momo's status."

Unlike the shabby and dirty low-level inns, the best inn in town is elegantly decorated and comfortable to stay in. Even Narberal couldn't find any major faults.

"But Mr. Momo's wisdom is indeed extraordinary."

"...What?"

"Because you must have seen that the low-level creature (Xiaolin) had ulterior motives, so you agreed to stay here. Then be prepared to see what tricks the other party will play."

Huh? Is there another meaning?

He chose to stay here only because he really had no money and the accommodation fee was super low. It has nothing to do with the wisdom that Narberal mentioned.

But in order to maintain the majesty of the Supreme Lord, Ainz could only nod and agree with his subordinates who had been completely demigodized.

"Indeed, such a great favor makes it hard not to suspect that there is some other purpose."

"Then I will use magic now..."

"Yes."

With Ainz's tacit consent, Narberal used reconnaissance magic to try to find the eavesdropping device or magic circle in the room. But she failed, she did not find anything like that.

"Mr. Momo..."

"I know, it may be a magic item we don't know about. Be careful when you check in next time."

Just like [Crown of Wisdom], there is no such special magic item in the game, but it is natural for this world to appear. In addition, Ainz likes to compete with the air, so it is natural for him to be vigilant.

However, what he didn't know was that Xiao Lin did not install any eavesdropping magic props in the room, and he even specifically asked Monica to do so.

After all, Momo is a strong person who has stepped into the realm of heroes. If he does this, it will easily arouse the opponent's resentment. Xiaolin, who is greedy for his strength, will naturally not do such annoying things.

Unexpectedly, unnecessary misunderstandings occurred.

The next few days were quiet, but they also caused quite a stir. The events of that night are still unfolding. Ainz and Nabe have gained a lot of reputation. Other adventurers will be awe-struck when they see the two appear in the guild. Respect.

until--

"Lord Ainz, Shalltear Bloodfallen has rebelled."

"...What?"

For a moment, he was unable to understand the meaning of this sentence. After Albedo's words finally entered his mind, Ainz's reaction was very stupid.

————

other side.

Lin is also listening to Monica's report.

"According to the information obtained from [Thousand Miles of Astrology], the [Dark Scripture] of the Silian Theocracy has been dispatched, and even all members have been dispatched."

"Oh? They must be going back and forth to recycle the [Crown of Wisdom], right? Hahaha, then they arrived too late. The [Crown of Wisdom] is already in my shape."

"No, according to intelligence, their goal is to destroy the Dragon King."

"……What?!"

Even Xiao Lin was surprised when he heard this name.

The Dragon King of Destruction is not a real dragon king, but a magic tree - a magic tree that can destroy the world. It's not an exaggeration, but it can really be done, but it should have been sealed.

As if aware of Xiaolin's doubts, Monica said: "It was [Astrological Thousand Miles] who predicted that it would be completely resurrected."

→

"Really, then it seems the information is true."

Xiao Lin rubbed his forehead.

The Dragon King of Destruction was indeed sealed by the [Thirteen Heroes], but in fact it only sealed a part of his awakening at that time. Now that he is about to be fully resurrected, one can imagine how much disaster it will bring to the world.

"So, what are the Theocracy's measures?"

"All members of the [Dark Sacred Code] are dispatched, hoping to use the secret treasure [Qingguoqingcheng] to control the Dragon King of Destruction."

"I guess so."

This is also the reason why Xiaolin sneered at them but did not refute the Theocracy, because apart from not doing well in some aspects, they are really protecting the world, and the [Dark Scripture] is indeed the last guardian of mankind.

Of course, only the human race.

To be honest, Xiao Lin didn't want to see the Theocratic State control and destroy the Dragon King, otherwise the world might ignite war... No, the Theocratic State's temper would definitely plunge the world into chaos, but he also didn't want to see the world destroyed.

Suddenly became very confused.

"but……"

"What's wrong?"

"According to the information from [Moon] and the guild, [Dark Scripture] encountered powerful vampires on their way to control the Dragon King of Destruction. Among them were the users of [Qingguoqingcheng] and the [Giant Shield Ten Thousand Walls] who acted as guards. ], both of them were pierced to death by giant light guns at the same time. After the battle, [God's Chain] tried to bring the vampire back to the Theocracy and was killed. "

"Well……"

Even Lin had to admit that they were really unlucky. At the same time, I also want to complain about whether I can play twelve against one and three of them were killed! Are you still claiming to be the strongest human being?

"A vampire..."

Xiao Lin thought hard.

Vampires are a type of undead. The priest must have restrained her attributes against her. However, the group of people from the Theocracy were all killed in counterattack. He probably went to deliver food to them.

unless……

No, that's a trick. Once it's used, the world might be destroyed. Besides, it's a waste to use it on vampires. It's better to be an undead archmage or something that's powerful enough to destroy the world.

"Where is that vampire now?"

"On the plains on the outskirts of town."

"Where are those people from the Slian Theocracy?"

"Already retreated."

The vampires were on the outskirts, and the people of the Slian Theocracy retreated, knowing that anyone who came close would be attacked without exception.

"What should we do, Master Lin?"

"in spite of."

"……What?"

"If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. We can't do anything. We can wait for the people from the Theocracy to clean up the mess."

He is not a messenger of justice.

Unless an Axis believer is being bullied, he will only take action when there is a clear benefit. He will not do such a thankless job. Someone will clean up the mess anyway.

————

And this person is Ainz, yes, he is the only one!

After learning about Shalltear's betrayal from Albedo, he teleported directly to the vicinity of the Great Tomb in desperation, and then quickly arrived at a huge and solemn central temple. This is the only entrance to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. .

Ainz flew until he was near the stairs of the Gray-White Temple, and when he discovered that there were countless figures underneath, he suppressed his anxiety and landed in front of the figures.

"Lord Ainz, welcome home."

As a gentle female voice sounded, many greetings to welcome Ainz home came one after another.

The woman standing in front, wearing a pure white dress, is Albedo, the guardian of the Great Tomb, and the person who knows the current situation best.

The four maids accompanying him are combat maids, and behind them stand eighty-level servants.

After Ainz used [Message] to speak to Albedo, he immediately ordered Narberal to teleport. During this period, so many people came to greet him in just five minutes. This shows that Albedo's role as a manager is wrist.

Feeling impressed, Ainz raised his hand and waved lightly in response to the servant's greeting. It would have been more appropriate to say a few words of condolences, but the current situation was not appropriate.

"Albedo, regarding the matter mentioned in the message, she..."

Did Shalltear really betray?

Ainz wanted to ask but hesitated because he felt uneasy in his heart, fearing that if he really opened his mouth, Shalltear's betrayal would become a reality, and it was too dangerous to discuss this topic in front of the servants.

"Do you want to talk somewhere else?"

"That's right, to the throne room."

"Okay, then Yuri, give the ring to Ainz-sama."

Ainz put on the ring.

Since it was impossible to teleport directly to the throne room, the power of the activation ring teleported to the previous room, opened the heavy door, and went inside with Albedo.

During this time, Ainz asked the question just now.

"Before we begin, I would like to ask a few questions. You said Shalltear betrayed, so when she betrayed, how did Sebas, who was also in the same place, react? Didn't he betray along with her?"

"He showed no signs of betrayal."

"Did you ask Sebastian for information?"

"The inquiry has been completed. According to Sebastian, they met a bandit. Later, I heard that Shalltear went to the bandit's lair in order to capture the bandit. During this period, nothing suspicious happened, and she kept saying that she would be safe. Your Majesty, you are doing your duty faithfully.”

"I see. In other words, what happened after that made her rebel."

"Yes. Let me briefly explain what happened here."

Arriving near the stairs leading to the throne, the story was almost finished.

However, the most important thing about the cemetery was not finished yet, so Ainz continued and told Albedo to change the information about finding Xiao Lin to Lin Brandt Dale Reborn, the second son of the Kingdom's Marquis family. Young Master, ask Sebastian and the others to find out all the information about him and elevate the matter to the highest level.

After everything was over, Albedo, who listened quietly, nodded to show her understanding. Although Ainz wanted to ask if there was anything wrong with his handling, there were more important things he wanted to know right now.

"Turn on main power."

A translucent window that looks a bit like a console, but completely different, opens in front of you. The window is divided into several pages with labels, filled with dense text.

This is the management system of the Great Tomb.

It records the management fees required for a day, the number of types of servants, and various magic trap devices that are activated.

Ainz opened the NPC tab with a skillful movement. It contains a list of NPC names created together with the guild members, and then he focused on one place.

Among a series of names displayed in white text, only Shalltear Bradfallen's name turned black. Ainz certainly knew what it meant.

but--

After watching it two or three times, I realized that I had definitely seen it correctly, and I screamed in my heart that it was impossible. If only the skeletal face could still move, it would definitely have an expression of shock now.

"It turned out to be...death?"
