Looking forward to another world.

【Eight Fingers】Occupied by unknown intelligent and powerful monsters, even the masters were enslaved.

This kind of thing never happened in the original book.

The original work at this point in time is the first conflict between [Blue Rose] and [Eight Fingers], which triggered a series of follow-up incidents, and finally led to the involvement of people in Nazarick, which triggered a bigger incident. In the confusion, a powerful foreign monster suddenly invaded and occupied the [Eight Fingers], which never happened in the original book.

No, it cannot be said that such a thing never happened.

In the original book, at the end of this incident, the [Eight Fingers] in charge of the kingdom's underground world was indeed controlled by Nazarick, but that happened after the incident ended, and it didn't happen at the beginning.

But now it seems that this incident happened ahead of time, and the leader was an unknown monster who attacked a human city in the Theocracy a week ago, which is simply unbelievable.

"Could it be..."

Li Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea emerged in his heart.

Driven by this idea, Li Ge asked Lakyus.

"What is the monster that dominates [Eight Fingers]?"

This question is also what Brian wants to know.

The leader who can secretly rule the underground world without attracting the public's attention, this monster is obviously not only powerful, but also has very high intelligence, and maybe it may be a humanoid monster.

This is indeed the case.

"Although I haven't met the other party directly, if there is no accident, the other party should be a vampire."

Lakyus' words made Li Ge narrow his eyes.

"Suck, vampire?"

Brian's expression became a little unnatural.

There's no way, the word vampire brought back that unbearable memory in Brian's mind.

That night in the northern forest of Ye Lantel, the monster that appeared there was a vampire, which Brian only knew after the fact.

Li Ge also said yesterday that the monster who started the earth-shattering fierce battle with him in the northern forest of Ye Lantel was a vampire.

Although I heard that the vampire seemed to be defeated by Feifei, a steel-ranked adventurer [Dark Hero] who appeared recently in E-Rantel, together with his companions, but Brian, who had seen that battle, did not know what to do. It was impossible to imagine that besides Li Ge, who else could deal with that vampire.

Now hearing Lakyus mention that the powerful monster that infiltrated the capital was a vampire, Brian suddenly overreacted.

"Could it be that vampire, right? Lord Brihot..."

Brian asked Li Ge nervously.

"I don't know."

Li Ge shook his head, but did not give an accurate answer.

"What?" Seeing the performance of the two, Ge Gelan asked immediately, "Do you know that vampire?"

Everyone in [Cang Qiangwei] immediately paid attention to this matter.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Bryan peeked at Li Ge's expression, seeing that Li Ge didn't stop himself from speaking, he said immediately: "Just about two months ago, Ye Lantel's northern forest There's an exceptionally powerful vampire, and we're talking about her."

Brian's words reminded both Gagran and Evileye of the conversation between Li Ge and Brian yesterday.

At that time, the terrible battle they mentioned that made Brian lose his heart did indeed take place in the northern forest of Ye Lantel, and one of the two fighting parties was Li Ge, and the other was a vampire who did not know where it came from.

Two months ago, powerful vampires appeared in Ye Lantel's northern forest, and it was widely spread.

"But hasn't that vampire been hunted down by the two newly promoted adamantine-rank adventurers from [The Darkness]?"

"That's what I heard too."

Both Tia and Tina said so out loud.

"Who knows if that's true?" Brian said with a negative attitude, "Anyway, I can't imagine that vampire being defeated by someone other than Mr. Brihot. Is that [Dark Hero] really there?" That level of strength, I personally doubt it."

"If the vampire is not dead, then with her strength, it would be a breeze to control [Eight Fingers]."

"I even think that the legendary [Mie Guo] is far inferior to that vampire, she is just so terrifying."

The [Destroying Country] mentioned by Brian is even a legendary monster.

It is said that it is a monster that can destroy an entire country by one person, and its real body is the prince among vampires, so it is called "destroying the country".

However, [Destroying the Country] was wiped out by the Thirteen Heroes 200 years ago, and this story is still being sung today.

But if there is any very famous existence among vampires, who is both powerful and highly intelligent, then the first thing that comes to mind is [Destroy the Country].

Brian compared it to the legendary vampire, which made everyone in [Blue Rose] look a little... weird.

"Humph!"

At this time, Evileye suddenly made a very uncomfortable sound.

"You haven't seen how strong [Mieguo] is, how do you know that she is far inferior to the vampire you mentioned?"

For some reason, Evileye competed with Brian on this matter.

To this, Brian answered very simply.

"Because that vampire was able to draw with Mr. Brihot. Having seen that battle, I can guarantee that a vampire of that level, even the Thirteen Heroes who ended the Chaos of Demon Gods, would never be able to defeat it."

"But [Destroying the Country] was wiped out by the Thirteen Heroes, which proves that she is definitely weaker than the vampire who tied with Mr. Brihot."

"Or do you think [Destroying the Country] can draw a tie with Mr. Brihot? If that's the case, I can retract this sentence?"

Brian's overly blunt speech made Evileye speechless.

In a way, Bryan is actually right.

At the very least, Evileye knew very well that among the thirteen heroes, only six had actually stepped into the realm of heroes, and the rest were basically Brian's level.

Such thirteen heroes, except for the team leader and the hideous armored man who concealed his identity, almost no one can defeat the vampire [Destroy the Country] alone, even if they join forces, it will be difficult.

In this way, since [Mieguo] was defeated by the thirteen heroes, she is naturally not as good as the existence that the thirteen heroes cannot defeat no matter what.

And can the Thirteen Heroes defeat Li Ge?
[Destroying the Country] Can this vampire be tied with Li Ge?
Evileye couldn't help looking at Li Ge, and recalled the aura he exuded when he drew his sword yesterday, recalled the deadly sense of crisis, the feeling of palpitation.

Therefore, Evileye had to admit that he... [Destroying the Country] is absolutely impossible to be a tie with Li Ge.

However, the vampire that appeared in the northern forest of E-Rantel was able to draw even with such Li Ge.

Doesn't this mean that [Destroying the Country] is not as good as that vampire?
Evileye was speechless, but she was still very upset, and even a little bit annoyed.

"At the very least, with an existence of your level, I... [Destroy the Country] will definitely be able to solve it easily."

Evileye satirized Brian like an awkward child.

If it were changed to the past, this statement would definitely irritate Brian.

But now, Brian is not the same as before.

"Of course I know that I'm still far behind. There are many monsters in this world that can kill even people of my level instantly. It's normal that the legendary vampires can easily surpass me. .”

Brian frankly accepted his own weakness and accepted Evileye's sarcasm, which made Evileye feel extremely unworthy as if he had punched cotton.

"Cough." Lakyus coughed, and changed the subject, "Anyway, that vampire is very strong, we understand that."

"Your suspicions are also very reasonable. Such a powerful vampire must not be so easily defeated, let alone two consecutive appearances in less than three months. This is unrealistic."

"If you think about it this way, the vampire that caused commotion in the Theocracy, infiltrated into the capital, and secretly controlled [Eight Fingers] may really be the vampire that once appeared in the northern forest of E-Rantel. .”

In other words, Brian's skepticism was justified.

Everyone in [Cang Qiangwei] also agreed with this statement. Except for Evileye who was still in a bad mood, the rest of the people nodded thoughtfully.

"How do you confirm that the monster that controls [Eight Fingers] belongs to a vampire?"

Only then did Li Ge speak out just right.

Lakyus also said that no one has ever met the monster that dominates [Eight Fingers], so how can they confirm that the other party is a vampire?

Li Ge had doubts about this point.

"There are two reasons."

Lakyus gave a reasonable explanation.

"One of them is the information sent back by the kingdom's troops who have already died, claiming that they met the members of the [Six Arms] in the [Eight Fingers]. Among them, except for the [Undead King] Divanok, the other five All of them have been transformed into vampires."

The [Six Arms], which are rumored to have strength comparable to a steel-ranked adventurer, lived up to its name, and there were six of them in total.

These six people are [Space Slash] Peshlian, who is said to be able to slash enemies far away from him, [Blood Dance Scimitar] Edstrone, who can flexibly use special magic weapons, and Poison Master, who specializes in stabbing. The swordsman [Thousand Kills] Mamvest, the [Phantom] Succulent who is good at illusions, the [Undead King] Divanok who is not a human but an undead, and a fighter who is good at hand-to-hand combat is also the leader. 【Ghost Fighting】Zero.

Among these six people, except for [Undead King] Divanok who is not human, the other five are all human.

As we all know, human beings are sucked blood by high-level vampires, and they may be transformed into vampires of the same species, and be dominated and enslaved by the other party.

Since all the human beings in [Six Arms] have been transformed into vampires, it is enough to prove that the monster that secretly dominated [Eight Fingers] is actually a vampire.

This is the important reason why Lakyus can assert that the other party should be a vampire.

"Another reason is that the other party caused chaos in the human city of the Theocracy. According to the information collected by the third princess, the monster that attacked the human city of the Theocracy is suspected to be a vampire." Lakyus said: "That's why we all think that the other party should be a vampire."

Li Ge nodded, expressing his understanding.

At the same time, Li Ge's heart also became active.

"So, the vampire who attacked the human city of Theocracy, infiltrated into the royal capital, and gave the 【Eight Fingers】 to control may really be Shalltear Bradfren."

This did not happen in the original book, because Shalltear and Nazarick did not know at all in the early stage that the person who used the world-class props to mentally dominate Shalltear in the northern forest of E-Rantel was from the Theocracy The dark scripture.

But now, Li Ge had sold this matter to Ainz as information, and Ainz already knew that the person who used world-class props to mentally dominate Shalltear was the Theocracy.

Under such circumstances, with Ainz's dedication and love for Nazarick shown, it is entirely conceivable that he would hate the Theocracy and take action against the Theocracy.

Although Li Ge had already warned Ainz that he would not dare to invade the Theocracy casually, this did not mean that Ainz would just let it go.

That guy will definitely plot against the Theocracy in the dark, and take action against the Theocracy who dared to attack the NPCs created by his former companions.

Even if he doesn't dare to attack the Theocracy casually for the time being, he will definitely figure it out slowly, try to find out the details of the Theocracy bit by bit, and gradually erode the Theocracy step by step.

Shalltear might have acted against the cities of the Theocracy at the behest of Ainz, and with new and old grudges, that vampire must be happy to do so.

only……

"Can the special forces sent by the High Priest of the Church drive that vampire back?"

"And why did that guy sneak into the royal capital after attacking the Theocracy and control [Eight Fingers]?"

"It's fine if it's done in secret, it's also very in line with Gu Aotian's old and sinister style, but it's not like that kind of trouble that everyone in the kingdom knows about and takes action against it. Mistakes made by overly cautious guys.”

Doubts arose in Li Ge's heart.

"Did something happen?"

"Or, this matter has nothing to do with Ainz and Nazarick at all?"

"Of course, the bigger possibility is that there are deeper plans behind this incident."

Li Ge made a lot of guesses based on the original work.

Here, seeing Li Ge lost in thought, Lakyus, who noticed that he was interested in this matter, suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity.

"If your Excellency Brihot is interested, would you like to come with us?"

Lakyus took the opportunity to send out an invitation.

Everyone cheered up, and collectively looked at Li Ge.

Li Ge also came back to his senses, and looked at Lakyus and the others.

"……Right."

After a while, Li Ge suddenly smiled and said something.

"If you don't go and see, who knows exactly what happened?"

Just go and see.

Let's see if this is the trick Ainz came up with.
