Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 375 Ainz Ooal Gown [ words]

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him, glanced at the sides of Ainz Ooal Gown's empty throne with his peripheral vision, and then focused on the tall figure of Ainz Ooal Gown in front of him. .

Ainz Ooal Gown.

This king of the undead who once made him feel as if he was suffocating just by being close to him. When he looked at it again now, although he could still feel the power of the other party, he no longer had the same fear as before. feeling.

So, Xin Lailai showed an excited look on purpose, stepped forward quickly, and said excitedly:

"Teacher Ainz, you are finally back!"

"Ahem...Black Sword, didn't I tell you? Just call me Momonga when no one is around."

There was a slight cough, and Ainz Ooal Gown, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Xin Lai Lai in front of him, shook the skeletal hand holding the scepter slightly twice, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry...Mr. Momonga, I haven't seen you for so long and I accidentally forgot about you."

Hearing this, Xin Lailai smiled awkwardly, deliberately scratched his head in accordance with the habit of the 'Black Sword' in the memory given by Paradise, and approached Ainz Ooal Gown, saying in a somewhat excited tone:

"Boss Momonga, why are you mentioning that time again? How long has it been since I changed my name? Can't you forget my past name? Xin Lailai and other things sound a little too unmanly."

"It's not bad. His Majesty Ainz is fine. Come on, I'll take you out of the city. By the way, Fabu, come here too."

"Come on, come on! Hey, Master Black Sword, what should we do next?!"

"Hehe, aren't I worried that something will go wrong if no one is left? Besides, Mr. Momonga, you are actually worried about Soliuxiang and the others, right?"

Xin Lailai said calmly, ignoring Suo Liuxiang's reaction, and crossed the crowd directly to the area where Dotian and Hades were.

"Boss Flying Squirrel, I feel so embarrassed when you praise me so much. If you hadn't saved me when we were in Karn Village and helped me so much, I would have died in this world by now."

Ainz Ooal Gown said, shook his head, and tapped the staff in his hand.

"Ahem, well...it's mainly due to coincidences, Mr. Flying Squirrel, let me tell you..."

——After all, for Momonga, the 'Black Sword', who also came from his hometown and met when he first crossed over, is in a sense like his last relative in this world.

An indifferent voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. He glanced at the prompts on the edge of his sight. The expression on his face had calmed down for some time. Then, he took steps and walked out of the door, looking at a face not far away. Suo Liuxiang and others were hopeful and walked towards each other step by step.

"Boss Momonga, I hope you're okay. I was really scared to death at the time. I didn't expect someone to activate that kind of world-class item!"

"I got through it by luck. By the way, Boss Momonga, um... I did a little bit of work during your absence. Well, how should I put it... Now the Human Empire has probably surrendered to our Sorcerous Kingdom. "

"Well, it is indeed a thrilling adventure, but compared to us, I am more worried about you, Black Sword. Didn't I tell you before that there is no need to take risks? Why do you still want to stay in that way?"

"You guy... you really haven't changed at all."

"Don't worry, thanks to the acting skills you taught me, Albedo and the others are fine. But Black Sword, there shouldn't be any problems on your side, right?"

"You first send Dotian and the others out of the city with me. I will tell you when we get there."

"Don't worry, the teacher is in good condition. The enemy's conspiracy has not had any impact on him and the guardians."

Hearing Xin Lailai's words, Ainz Ooal Gown's mandible hit hard, a light that represented forced calmness flashed across his body, his voice stiffened, and then he asked in a tone of disbelief.

"no."

When Xinlailai heard what Ainz Ooal Gown said, the eyes in his dark pupils moved slightly, and then he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, scratched his head and said:

"By the way, Boss Momonga, during these times when I'm away, you should be... fine in front of Albedo and the others, right?"

"I didn't expect that you have become so powerful now. I remember when I first met you, you were still a complete novice."

"Lord Black Sword, how is Lord Ainz's condition?!"

As soon as she saw Xin Lailai coming, Suo Liuxiang asked excitedly.

Xin Lailai said with a smile, while looking at Fabu who was poking his head not far away, while Hell's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

Xinlailai deliberately showed a serious expression and said with a straight face, which made Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but smile, but inadvertently triggered another forced calm.

Xin Lailai smiled shyly, lowered her head and said.

In front of the throne, Xin Lailai vividly recounted the facts that had been 'artistically processed' by himself, and Ainz Ooal Gown's body shone with a forced calmness one after another.

"Yes, even I didn't expect that you would grow up so fast. Speaking of which, since you changed your name to Black Sword, you have become mature all of a sudden. The following things are also thanks to your help. So smooth."

"What...! Hey, how did you do it?"

Ainz Ooal Gown smiled and said:
"Okay, Black Sword, please go back first. Albedo and the others should be coming soon. It won't be good if he sees us like this."

"Haha, I think it's quite interesting. Besides, didn't I tell you my name?"

After he finished speaking, Ainz Ooal Gown showed a somewhat complicated look and said with emotion:

As Ainz Ooal Gown spoke, the scarlet soul fire in his dark eyes moved slightly, as if he was recalling what happened in the past.

To put it simply, although to others the 'Black Sword' is the successor of Ainz Ooal Gown, in fact the 'Black Sword' itself and Ainz Ooal Gown...or Momonga are close friends. Friendships are intimate friends who reveal each other's secrets and feelings.

The initial identity assigned to him by the paradise almost perfectly continued the plot triggered by his trial in the world. Except for some slight differences in details, everything else followed exactly that set.

The next second, the scene in front of Xin Lailai suddenly changed from a huge throne and a scarlet carpet to the entrance of the mausoleum, and then a line of prompts suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Tip: The identity handover of the camp leader has been completed, and the camp mission: Hold the position has been completed. The specific mission rewards will be settled after the return, yes/no will return immediately]

"Boss Black Sword! What's the result?!"

Ainz shook his head when he heard what Xin Lai Lai said, stretched out a white bone index finger as thick as Xin Lai Lai's two fingers put together, flicked Xin Lai Lai's forehead, and scolded.

"As you command, Ainz-sensei."

Xin Lailai smiled and answered perfectly according to the information in his 'memory'.

"Good Le!"

Fabu agreed excitedly, followed Xin Lailai and started walking together.

"Brother Black Sword, is that enough?"

When the group of people walked to the teleportation array, Hell looked at the teleportation array at his feet, glanced at the scene behind him, and suddenly spoke.

"Brother Underworld is joking, where are you now? Let's go, I'd better see Brother Underworld for a while before saying goodbye."

"Then...we would rather obey orders than be respectful."

Hearing this, Hell's eyes moved slightly, with a hesitant expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and activated the teleportation array at his feet.

The next second, silver-white light flashed, and the figures of twelve people and one bone disappeared from the place.

……

Slane Theocracy, Southern Plains.

Om-! !

"This is... the southern plains? Hell, why did you teleport us here?"

Violent space fluctuations spread. Xie Kuang looked at the scene in front of him and was slightly stunned. The others in Mo Tian were also stunned and didn't understand why they were teleported here.

But Hell didn't pay attention to everyone. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xin Lailai aside, and said:

"Brother Heijian, I wonder if this distance is far enough?"

"Well, that's enough. Speaking of which, Brother Hell, are you really not going to consider my suggestion again?"

"Forget it. Although the conditions offered by Brother Black Sword are very tempting, people like me are still more accustomed to the environment of the Death Cult. I can only live up to Brother Black Sword's good intentions."

Hell shook his head and said calmly. With the help of Xie Kuang, he looked at him and hinted at him with his eyes before leading him not far away.

Xiekuang's eyes suddenly froze when he saw Nether Prison's hint, and he quickly followed the opponent's footsteps. After walking a certain distance, Nether Prison stopped, squinted slightly, and looked at the scene in the distance.

"Xie Kuang, I remember you said that you still have another chance to check the information of the academic sect, right?"

After a few seconds, Hell Prison suddenly said. Hearing this, Xie Kuang's face moved slightly, nodded, and said:

"There is indeed one more time, but you are going to..."

"After you go back, you can do some research on the 'out of control' aspect of the derivative world, and then send me what you found."

"As for now... don't ask anything, don't think about anything, just pretend that the two of us have never been to this world at all, and directly use the return permission."

Hell stared at the sky in the distance, looking at the slowly gathering dark clouds, and said calmly. Hearing the words, Xie Kuang's pupils shrank slightly, nodded silently, and decisively activated the return authority.

[Tip: We are about to return to the Sanctuary Paradise, please be prepared for teleportation] A cold reminder sounded, and the two figures disappeared immediately, leaving only Xin Lailai and Xin Lailai not far away who also realized that something was wrong. Something is wrong with Doomsday and others.

"Boss Black Sword, we..."

Dotian looked at Xin Lailai and was about to ask, but Xin Lailai raised his hand to stop him. Xin Lailai turned his head and looked at Fabu, who had an excited look on his face and was completely unaware that the situation had changed. He opened his mouth and said:

"Fabu."

"Here, here! Lord Black Sword, do you have any orders?!"

Fabu raised his head excitedly, looked at Xin Lailai in front of him, rubbed his bones, and said with some anticipation.

In its view, since the legendary Sorcerer King has returned, as long as he can hold Xinlailai's thigh tightly next to Xinlailai, the Sorcerer King's successor, he will be very popular in the future.

So, under Fabu's expectant gaze, Xin Lailai took out a piece of parchment and several bottles of potions, closed his eyes and used his soul energy to quickly carve runes and words from the Overlord's native world on the parchment, and then put them on the parchment. Placed it in front of Fabu.

"Fabu, what is recorded here is a more complete method of concealing the soul's breath than the secret method I taught you before. Take it and these bottles of potions, and then... start escaping from here."

"The teleportation array to the Central Continent can still be used. I have written the activation method on it. You can escape to the Central Continent first, but that is not enough. You must continue to escape to a place where no one can find it. , and then hide, don’t be discovered by anyone.”

"Black...Master Black Sword? What kind of evil are you doing..."

Fabu looked at the parchment and potion in front of him, and at Xin Lailai's calm expression, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent.

"Remember, if you want to survive, you must do what I said above. This is all I can tell you. Whether you believe it or not, whether you do it or not, it all depends on you."

Fabu listened to the words spoken by Xin Lailai in front of him, his thin mandible twitched slightly, lowered his head, silently picked up the parchment and potions on the ground, and put them into the inner pocket of his robe.

"I don't know what exactly you are talking about, Lord Black Sword, but I believe you did not lie to me, Lord Black Sword, so... thank you, Lord Black Sword."

"Thank you for your help, Lord Black Sword. Without your guidance, I might never be able to know that the world of magic... turns out to have so many mysteries."

Fabu said, bowed deeply to Xin Lailai, took a few steps back, recited a spell, summoned a bone dragon, looked at Xin Lailai for a while, turned around, and flew to the bone dragon On the body, in the strong wind caused by the bone dragon flapping its wings, it quickly left towards the distance.

"Boss Black Sword, we..."

"Don't ask anything. Remember, when you go back, tell Chi Jia and Azheng, just tell them about the next few... No, until you receive accurate information, it is best to avoid the Overlord world and the indicators of the war world. , if it is not completed, it is best to quickly find a normal war world to participate in. "

Xin Lailai looked at the people beside him, lowered his eyes slightly, and said.

When Mo Tian and Yan Yu heard what Xin Lailai said, their pupils trembled suddenly, as if they understood something, their faces paled slightly, and they nodded silently.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, remember what I just said."

"Ah."

Mo Tian and Yan Yu nodded. Although Huo Yu and others on the side had a bit of confusion in their eyes, they still suppressed their curiosity and activated the teleportation authority.

[Tip: Coming back soon...]

Nine space fluctuations spread, and the figures of Dotian and others disappeared in place, leaving Xin Lailai standing alone on the desolate plain, squinting slightly, staring at the sky, and the dark pupils reflected the The huge dark cloud that was about to take shape and cover the sky fell silent.

"Lailai..."

"Well, I know, we were too careless this time."

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded in his head, Xin Lailai closed his eyes and gave a positive answer.

——Yes, he was too careless, or... he ignored some things too much.

——Nothing in this world is taken for granted. It is so obvious, why did he not realize it until now?
"Eternal Tribulation Snake Ring, World Will, Ainz Ooal Gown... Heh, in the end, was the guess of the guy from Hades correct?"

Xin Lailai opened his eyes, looked at the return countdown at the edge of his vision, turned around silently, and glanced in the direction of the Sorcerous Kingdom.

When did it start? Was it before that, or after that, or... the moment they first met?
After all, in the memories provided to him by the paradise, during the encounter between the 'Black Sword' and Ainz Ooal Gown, the name 'Sinlailai' was not mentioned once.

Yes, not even once.

Boom——! !

A deafening thunder exploded from the sky, and the dazzling thunder spread in the cloudy sky, catching the entire sky like a spider web.

……

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, between the thrones.

"Demiurge, do you think they have discovered all this?"

A huge throne stood at the end of the long scarlet carpet. A tall figure with blood-red soul fire burning in his eyes sat on the throne, overlooking the slender demon kneeling below, wearing a scarlet suit and round-rimmed eyes. clan, opened his mouth and said.

"Lord Ainz, according to my judgment, the deviant who calls himself Hell seemed to have noticed something while traveling to the Central Continent, but he did not guess the truth."

"And the abnormal person who calls himself Black Sword, who has tarnished your title, seems to have noticed something strange during the conversation with you, and later reminded the abnormal person who calls himself Hades, and they chose to change the destination of the transmission. This also proves this, which means that they may have noticed the abnormality.”

An important character with the highest IQ in the original work of Overlord and a large number of scenes in the original work. Demiurge lowered his head, gently pushed up his glasses with his right hand, and said in a respectful tone. The look of confidence in his expression showed that he believed it. own judgment.

"Did you talk to me? Demiurge, do you think... did I reveal any flaws in my previous 'performances'?"

Hearing this, Ainz Ooal Gown gently tapped the throne with his broad white index finger, his skull slightly drooped, and he looked down at Demiurge in front of him.

"My subordinates believe that Lord Ainz's acting skills are flawless and have no flaws. However, when the aberrant who tarnished your honorable name heard you say that he changed his name, he had a moment of emotional fluctuation. ”

"Therefore... I judge that Lord Ainz's memory of his name may have a slight deviation from his, which caused him to become suspicious. Based on the information we know about the abnormality, perhaps Lord Ainz's memory The memory of the first encounter with the anomaly that tarnished your honorable name is not a false memory fabricated by the god behind the anomalies, but something that really happened."

After Demiurge paused for a while, he expressed his analysis. After hearing this, Ainz Ooal Gown gently rubbed his mandible with his broad white palm, and said to himself:

"I see, is it a real experience? Indeed...I overlooked this point. Demiurge, you did a good job. It is possible for false memories created by gods to be mixed with real memories. This discovery Very timely.”

"Lord Ainz is exaggerating. I just luckily noticed these details from the perspective of standing on the sidelines. Only Ainz-sama who can detect the existence of gods and deal with abnormal people truly has the supreme power." wisdom."

Demiurge said humbly. Ainz Ooal Gown nodded slightly, slowly relaxed his palms, and continued:

"Then, the second question, Demiurge, after this action, judging from your perspective, what do you think the attitude and purpose of the gods standing behind those abnormal people...are?"

This time, Demiurge was obviously silent for a while, then he pushed up the round eyes on the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice:

"I believe that the god's attitude should be 'balanced' as Lord Ainz guessed."

"In the past few contacts, the abnormal people who appeared in our camp were almost all weak types, while the powerful abnormal people tended to appear inside the human empire, but this time it is different. The tainted person The strength of the deviants who bear Lord Ainz’s honor is far greater than that of the deviants in the Human Empire.”

"The biggest difference between this time and the previous times is that you, Ainz-sama, deliberately led the emergence of the Eternal Calamity Snake Ring, and hid the entire Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick outside the world, no longer participating in these abnormal people. in their struggle.”

"Therefore, I judge that the gods behind those anomalies may be inclined to divide the entire world into two or more camps, and will try their best to pursue an overall balance between the different camps."

"As for its purpose... Judging from the behavior of these abnormal people, the god's purpose is probably to screen and cultivate more powerful abnormal people by letting these abnormal people fight with each other."

After Demius finished speaking, he raised his head and looked up at Ainz Ooal Gown sitting on the throne in front of him. Under the round glasses, his eyes were so narrow that it seemed as if they were closed. He opened a slit, revealing a pair of diamond-like eyes. A corner of the pupil made of colored gemstones.

“Balance, struggle, and screening?”

Ainz Ooal Gown repeated, and the scarlet soul fire in the dark eyes twitched slightly, as if thinking about something. After coming over for a while, it lowered its head and looked at Demiurge in front of it, said:
"The third question, Demiurge, do you think that god...knows that we are aware of his existence? If he already knows, then what is the purpose of letting us go?"

The voice that seemed unusually indifferent due to the forced calmness echoed quietly in the hall. This time, Demiurge was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"My subordinates believe that He...should already know it. Although he is very reluctant to admit it, judging from the fact that He can manipulate our memories without us noticing, that god is indeed more powerful than Ainz-sama. An omniscient and omnipotent being.”

"As for his purpose, I can only think of one..."

When Demiurge said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Ainz Ooal Gown's calm expression, and then slowly highlighted two words:
"war."

"Perhaps that god is looking forward to us... looking forward to Lord Ainz launching a war, a war between us and the deviants."

The moment the word war fell, the entire atmosphere between the thrones seemed to fall into a brief dead silence, until Ainz Ooal Gown took the initiative to break the dead silence:

"War..."

Ainz Ooal Gown raised his head and cast his gaze at the forty-one flags in the hall. The scarlet soul fire in his eyes slowly swayed, reflecting the flags that represented his 'memory'. friends sign.

"Last question, Demiurge, do you think...Tachimi and the others are real?"

As these words fell, the figure of the immortal king sitting on the throne seemed to suddenly become lonely and quiet. The Ainz Ooal in his hand carried the 'memories' with his companions. ·The gems on Gown's staff reflect the brilliant luster, reflecting the figure of Ainz Ooal Gown sitting alone on the throne.

I don't know how long it took before Demiurge's deep voice sounded in the hall again, and he told the first lie he ever told the king in his life:

"I'm sorry, Lord Ainz, I...can't think of an answer to this question."
