Nazarick Rimuru

On the outskirts of the village of Karn, the Church has appeared and is still surrounding it.

Gurdjieff's introduction made Ainz understand the outside world, and the troops who attacked the village earlier may not have been the troops of the Bahas Empire, as the villagers had guessed.

Is it the so-called Slen Sect in disguise?

Relying on the troops of the so-called Bajas Empire, pretending to harass the borders of the kingdom, must have a purpose.

However, whether it is successful or not, it will intensify the conflict between the kingdom and the empire, and the Slian Sect can get high profits from it, and it is known from the villagers that the empire has often invaded the vicinity of Yerantir, so as long as the disguise is fine, it will not be detected by the general public at all, until they achieve their goal...

... In this case, the purpose of this so-called Slian Sect is only the warrior leader in front of him.

Like Ainz, Gurdjieff also thought of this, his face turned pale, because of the infighting between the aristocratic faction and the royal faction within the kingdom, he stood firmly by the king's side, and the troop movement when he went out this time was hindered by the nobles, so that now there are less than 100 soldiers around him.

The kingdom has no high-end combat power except for a large number of adventurers who cannot interfere in the military, and if he Gejieff dies here, the kingdom will be at a disadvantage in the face of the Imperial Cult in the future.

With Gurdjieff's strength, he is certainly sure to survive now, but his personality makes him unable to leave behind these brothers and villagers.

The nobles considered him a lowly man who insulted the dignity of the royal family, and Gordjieff, who was isolated by them, could not wait for any reinforcements here.

Although the king behind him is still enlightened, it is a pity that he is old, not to mention that it is the current prince who supports the nobles behind the scenes.

... But now, it is estimated that the nobles have sent a lot of strength to lead to this situation, and his movements have been completely understood by the Church, and it is clear that the situation within the kingdom is already extremely dangerous, but those incompetent people are still united with the Church to kill him.

But even now, when he was desperately lacking in combat power, Gurdjieff didn't want this kind Mr. Undead to get involved in the battle with the Cult, after all, they were just travelers who had traveled here.

Having received the relevant information, Anz nodded at Gurdjieff, he had obtained enough information so far, and there was really no reason to intervene in the battle between the two countries... Not to mention that somewhere in this world there are other players staring in the dark.

But the people he had worked so hard to save had come to life...

Looking at the children who had been appeased by Sixteen Nights, Ainz made up his mind that it would be easier for him to protect the people of this village.

As for this Mr. Gurdjieff... If he survives, maybe he can be a good friend.

As for helping him, intervening in the war between nations is still too early for Nasalik, and Nasalik can't just be exposed to the eyes of hidden players.

Knowing that Ainz had the means to protect the villagers, Gurdjieff smiled reassuringly, bowed deeply to Ainz again, and took his soldiers with him, and he hurried out of the village.

Ainz looked down at his hand, and [Undead Calm] activated again.

The body had completely turned him into a monster, and Ainz didn't care about someone like Gerjeff who he met for the first time and probably died immediately, as if it were just an animal that had nothing to do with him.

It turns out that the perspective of the undead looks at people like this.

It's just that looking at people's friendship, loyalty and other behaviors still makes Anz a little excited.

The man named Gurdjieff could obviously choose another path, the path of his own survival, and the preservation of his combat power was more important to the current situation of the kingdom, but because of that loyalty, this man resolutely embarked on that path to death.

... It's not a nuisance.

ninth floor of Nasalik.

Ainz used the portal to return to the outskirts of Nasalik, where he took the Ring of Aziulgon from Hizi, who was waiting on the outskirts.

As soon as he stepped into the office, he was greeted by Albede, who had an eager face.

"Lord Flying Squirrel, you're finally back! We're all worried about your sudden departure. "

Ahh Jarbede, I'm worried about you. But... I gained a lot from this outing, about intelligence. "

Flying Squirrel said before, just leave the intelligence to me and Dimiugs, please don't get into danger easily!"

Stand down, Jarbede, I have important business.

Although she was very worried, she could only obey the order of the Supreme Being, and after getting up and bowing, she left the conference room.

Ainz slumped in his chair with the distal see-through lens out again, and now that there were no NPCs by his side, he temporarily reverted back to that "Satoru".

It seems to be... I made a bad decision.

The Ruler of Death sighed.
