Demiurge was in charge of guarding the 7th floor of the Nazarik Underground Tomb. The seventh layer is a scorching lava hell, there is no such grassland and such a city.
Even if for some reason you were taken out of Nazarik without your knowledge ,Helheim with Nazarik is a world of darkness closed on an eternal night that never dawns, Such a blue sky cannot be spreading.
Even though some reason you were taken out of Nazarick without your knowledge, Helheim with Nazarick is a world of darkness closed on an eternal night that never dawns, such a blue sky cannot be spreading.
He looks around to check the situation for the time being. Right next to me, there was a person who couldn't be in such a place, and He was staring at the Demiurge without trying to hide his astonishment and turmoil.
He has a straight and sharp appearance, like a single steel sword that has been forged and sharpened, and the eyes light that like shoots through with an arrow that resembles a hawk.
There stood Nazarik's colleague who Demiurge couldn't never really like the only one.
"Sebas..., what kind of situation is this?"
"I don't know what's what..., does Mr,Demiurge know anything?"
"I should have been on the 7th floor, but when I realized I was standing here. You must have been in the tenth level of defense, right?"
"Yes, I was standing here when I noticed. Received the order of being a guardian with Pleiades, and following Momonga-sama, I was waiting in front of Momonga-sama between the thrones..., but No one else ... seems to be."
Sebas looked around, but not to mention the people of Pleiades, the wind was just crossing the wide grasslands with nobody.
Demiurge think it's no use thinking about it now without enough information, first of all, we have to collect information.
Demiurge think the first thing to do is to get that information about where are we and where Nazarik has gone.
"It's no use thinking about Hard to understand while you and I butt the forehead. First of all, it will be necessary to collect information in order to decide the policy of future actions. Shadow demon."
Demiurge have do use the skill and summon two shadow demons.
"You guys go to that city and collect all the information you can collect. Where is this, where is Nazarik, who lives in the city, do they understand our words, whether we can read the language they are using, the strength of the inhabitants, degree of equipment, who governs...it doesn't matter how small it is, just collect as much as you can. You, come back as soon as you have confirmed who is living and how strong you are. go."
Following the words of the Demiurge, the two Shadow Demon headed for a nearby city. After seeing off the situation, Sebas, who frowned suspiciously, looked at the Demiurge.
"I know you are checking our current location and Nazarik's location, but do I need to check language and strength? "
"Even if we contact that city from now on, the way out changes depending on whether our power works or not. It is just in case that I check the language. The Supreme People have said that some guilds are a group of people who do not understand the word foreign guild. If it's a city where such people live, we can't collect information without first learning from the language."
Sebas nodded, muttering "I see". For Demiurge, Sebas is not the person who wants to chat peacefully, so keep silent and wait for the shadow demon to return.
As ordered, the one came back soon. It is known that only humans live, and most of they are vulnerable and the shadow demons can be killed with one hand. It seems that there are rare people who have prepared the equipment, but the equipment is also poor and it seems that they can not even defeat the shadow demon. It also turned out that could understand the language. Demiurge opened his mouth after sending the returning Shadow Demon back to the city to gather information.
"Hmm ... it's seems like a human city, it seems that there are only vulnerable people. It seems that I can understand the language for the time being, It seems that there is no power comparable to the supreme people like the rude people who invaded the glorious Nazarik. It's not completely safe, but you can judge that there is no immediate danger if we come in contact with it. "
"... What is contact? "
"There is a limit to information gathering with the shadow daemon, so I would also need to go directly to the city and gather information. Rest assured, of course by peaceful measures do it."
Sebas nodded slightly to the demiurge's words and just replied, "Is that so". Sebas can't hide the insecure vibes that drifted for a moment. Demiurge also understands Sebas's fears, perhaps Sebas would have thought that the Demiurge would overrun and rule the city by force. However, Demiurge did not think from the beginning because the method has little merit at present.
First of all, no matter how much you don't like Sebas, to be sure, but let it must be a colleague of Nazarik, currently, we are alone together, Demiurge must work with Sebas, at least until return to Nazarik. It would be a hassle to take the measures that Sebas would strongly oppose. Demiurge is willing to unforgivable if Sebas is doing something to the detriment of Nazarik or to smear Nazarik's glory, but otherwise there is no benefit or meaning to hostile to Sebas. The goodness of Sebas, who does not like the Demiurge's favorite way of killing, Trampling and controlling people, was created by the Supreme people Touch-me, Demiurge don't like very much Sebas, but he can have nothing to complain of and nothing to grumble at about what the Supreme people did.
Second, not being in this city does not guarantee that there is no strong man comparable to the Supreme Ones, If Demiurge have conquered the city, Those guys may be able to notice Demiurge and Sebas. this town is wouldn't be worth taking the risk to occupy in this situation where you don't know where, how, and how strong you are.
And even if Demiurge dominate the city, the Demiurge doesn't have the resources to maintain it because you can't use your subordinates from Nazarik. Currently, the purpose of the Demiurge is to return to Nazarik, isn't what to do about the city. Therefore, there is no option from the beginning that the Demiurge himself stays in the city and continues to rule. There is currently no reason to dominate the boring city of only such vulnerable people.
"If there are only humans, the appearance of Demiurge may be a little noticeable."
"That's right. Because Sebas, I want you to ask for one. Will you go to that city and procure robe and a cloth to wrap around your head? If I disguise myself as a magic caster and hide my tail and ears, I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable even if I was in humans for the time being. It would be awkward if I could be found by humans, ...hum,I'll search near from the sky for Nazarik and then lurking in the forest over there."
"I understand, I will go immediately."
Sebas replied, and giving a beautiful thank-you Suitable for the prestigious Majordomo of Nazarick , and he turn on one's heel and started walking to the must have been a proposal for a godsend for Sebas, too, probably the same feeling as Demiurge. Feel like I'm being smothered when I'm alone together. Finally, alone, Demiurge breathed a sigh. Actually, how the demiurge will move in the future depends on the information provided by the shadow demon, so I should have been concerned about the appearance of the demiurge afterwards, Sebas and the two of us are feel awkward, if this area is a human sphere of influence, there will be many opportunities to come into contact with humans in the future, while i am at it.
It seems that Sebas also has a similar dislike of Sebas in the Demiurge. Demiurge is a demon, but everyone who belongs to Nazarik considers it an important companion and cherishes it, Even the maid chief Pestonia S. Wanko, who has the opposite personality to the Demiurge, is no exception. But Demiurgo just can't like Sebas. Originally, the demiurge doesn't like this because it's not very rational and it's like a stupid human being, but As for Sebas, it's can't express it just by saying don't get along with, I even have a physiological disgust. could call it a sworn enemy.
Creator, It was not create so by Ulbert Alain Odor but Demiurgo feel hate Sebas, and he don't know why. Where does this emotion come from, can't know the source, but it 's a very natural feeling for the Demiurge. Others wouldn't have felt this heavy, even if it was a difficult-to-control Chartia. Looking for Nazarik who is not sure where it is with Sebas, Demiurge had a dark thoughts about it.
But for the time being, nothing will start unless it moves, it won't be so easy but If there is Nazarik around, that's the solution. After confirming that there are no signs of people around, Demiurge transformed into a semi-demon form with a frog-like appearance, flapping the wings of the film and flying into the sky.
Honestly, Demiurge doesn't think he can spot Nazarick from the sky. He just wanted to make sure that he didn't miss anything, just in case. The first and most likely possibility is that Nazarick has not moved from the Grendela Marshes in Helheim. In this case, we just need to find a way for Demiurge and Sebas to return to Helheim. Even if they were flown to an unknown location, like Demiurge and Sebas, the chances of finding them from the sky would be slim to none.
He is the merciful one who stayed in Nazarick until the end even after the other supreme ones left, and he is the supreme leader of the 41 people, Momonga-sama. It is inconceivable that he, who is full of immeasurable wisdom, would leave Nazarick in such a state that it could be easily discovered from the sky, I am sure that they will be prepared to the utmost against unknown enemies.
There is another possibility that we may not be able to find it for some other reason, but I honestly don't like to think about that possibility as much as possible unless I'm sure of it. He will have to think about that worst-case scenario in the future, but the first thing we need to do is gather information, so he can do that later.
He took a quick look around the city from the air, but still couldn't find any structures that looked like Nazarick anywhere. Demiurge descends into the forest where he plans to meet up with Sebas, and decides to wait for the shadow demon to return. While I was waiting, I checked the item box and found that I had everything that the Creator had given me.
The report of the shadow demon that returned near the summoning limit time was startling.
First of all, the name of the city we could see nearby was Kalinsha, a city in a country called the Holy Kingdom. To the east is the Great Wall, and beyond it are the Abellion Hills, a dangerous region overrun by sub-humans and rife with daily conflict. Nazarick's information was still, or rather, he got nothing. The language is understood, but the written word is unknown, and as I first confirmed, the unarmed populace and even the armed are not enemies of the shadow demons. They were poorly armed, and there was almost no armor with magical power in it.
It was an impossible situation, considering the common sense of Yggdrasil. Magical armor was the bare minimum of equipment. Even low-grade equipment has some kind of magical power due to the built-in data crystal.
And the only language used in Yggdrasil is Japanese. There's an alphabet, but there's nothing that you can't understand if you don't understand English. No other languages are used. There was a foreigner, an entity that didn't understand Japanese, but They must have been able to decipher Japanese somehow. Since the shadow demons report unknown characters, the possibility that it's English written in the alphabet disappears. can understand the words they are speaking, but the letters are unknown , What the hell is this all about?
Even Demiurge doesn't know everything about the vast world of Yggdrasil, where there are still many unknowns, It's possible that the names of cities, countries, and places don't ring a bell because they're outside the Demiurge' knowledge, The language and equipment were too puzzling.
Demiurge wondered if this meant that he would have to consider the worst case scenario, which he would have preferred not to.
It's not that I hadn't considered the possibility, but that was exactly what I wanted to believe was impossible.
The ridiculous possibility that this is outside the world of Yggdrasil. It's possible that both Demiurge and Sebas have been transported to some unknown world.
If Nazarick is still in the Grendela Marshes of Helheim in the world of Yggdrasil, and only Demiurge and Sebas have come to a completely different world, how on earth are they supposed to get home? I felt my feet wobble.
Nazarick is everything to Demiurge. Demiurge exist only to serve Nazarick and the supreme forty-one who rule it and Working for Nazarick is the very value of his existence. If he couldn't do that, he didn't want to think about it. His meaning and value in life is with Nazarick and no other. He believes that I am who cannot work for the 41 supreme beings is not worthy of existence.
We don't know anything yet. It is not entirely impossible that Nazarick has also been sent somewhere in this mysterious land. If not, there might even be a way to return to the world of Yggdrasil.
Anyway, he thinks desperately that he needs to gather information to start the conversation. His situation is too unclear and there is too little material to think about.
Therefore, Demiurge decided to wait for Sebas to get him a robe for disguise, but.
By nightfall, Sebas had not appeared at the meet point. Demiurge don't think so, but there is a possibility wondered if Sebas had been harmed by someone, so he sent a shadow demon to find Sebas, but The report of the shadow demon that had returned was unexpected.
Sebas was safe. Sebas said that he was working a day job at a construction site to earn enough money to buy a robe, and that it would take a few more days to earn enough money to buy a robe.
"What is that man doing lazily procuring a mere robe?"
In a moment of intense rage, Demiurge was about to slash and tear at the shadow demon, but he held himself back and sighed deeply. Sebas will try to get the goods for a fair price. It is the nature of Sebas to be so desired and ordained by the Supreme Being, and Demiurge cannot say anything about it.
Demiurge sends the shadow demon back to the city with a message to Sebas to buy in addition books on writing for children. Whether he is gathering information or not, they will need to learn how to write in order to operate in the future. It was going to be a while before he was able to move in earnest to find a way to return to Nazarick.
Even so, being alone with Sebas is too much of a cause for concern for Demiurge. It was easy to imagine that Sebas would not be pleased with the policy that Demiurge would put forth. For example, if it was an order from Momonga-sama or any other supreme being that gave him full authority, Sebas would follow it, but There is no Nazarick now, and Demiurge and Sebas are on equal footing, comrades in the search for Nazarick together. The first headache for Demiurge was that he had to be comrades with Sebas. If it was a policy that Sebas could accept, it was not hard to imagine that it would be a very circuitous path.
But even so, they must find Nazarick and return home at all costs. Even if there is no way back, we will make it. Otherwise, there would be no reason or meaning for Demiurge to be here now. It is probably the same for Sebas, maybe.
Then Demiurge must swallow some of his own emotions and cooperate with him. No matter how much he doesn't like the guy, Sebas is part of Nazarick, Besides, if anything were to happen to Sebas, the kind Momonga-sama would be very sad. Finding Nazarick separately is not an option at the moment. If he left Sebas alone, the good-natured man would get into trouble one after another, and who knows what would happen. Demiurgos would need to be on his side.
He felt heavy, but it was clear what he had to do. Demiurge will only do what needs to be done.
For now, Demiurge can't do anything and can't move until Sebas comes back. The best he could do was to send the shadow demon back to the city in the morning to gather more information. Unable to distract himself from his abhorrent thoughts, Demiurgos let out another heavy sigh.
A few days later, Sebas finally returned with what he had asked for. Demiurge wrapped a cloth around his head to cover his ears and put on a loose-fitting robe over his clothes. The tail should be curled up under the robe. The robes and leather gloves are unacceptable to the Demiurgos' aesthetic sense, but It wouldn't be good to be seen with sharp nails that can't possibly belong to a person, so I leave them as they are.
"It took you a long time to get all these things together."
"I'm sorry, sir. Because there is a limit to the number of jobs that a person with no social status can get paid for right away, and I didn't make a lot of money."
"Social status, ..., is a point that may become troublesome in the future activities."
Demiurgos growled at Sebas's offer and thought about it. Demiurgos and Sebas, who had no backbone in this strange land, could not possibly have any social status. (It's not a lie) It could be said that we just need to pass it off as a traveler from far away, but Considering that not many people would readily release important information to a stranger, it's not the most efficient way to gather information. The method of listening out with the spell of domination is a prerequisite for erasing after listening out because it leaves a memory in the other person's mind. That's not a good look for Sebas.
There must be a network of information transmissions in that city, He wants to get in there somehow, if he can.
"We'll think about that later. The first thing I want to do when I get into town is learn to read, any objections?"
"No, sir. I've heard one thing about social status that might help."
"Ho?font face="Nimbus Mono L, monospace"span lang="zh-CN" /span/fontWhat's the story?"
"I heard that there is a profession called "adventurer" that mainly deals with killing monsters, and it seems that even drifters, etc. can easily register and there are different grades, and the higher the grade, the more fame you can get beyond your country."
"Got it"
Hearing Sebas' explanation, Demiurge pondered again. First, he would need to make a few more observations about these would-be adventurers, There will be horizontal connections, and maybe even contacts to informants and the like.
And hypothetically speaking, Even if Nazarick was somewhere else, Momonga-sama would surely be prepared for foreign enemies, while at the same time gathering information about the outside world. If Demiurge and Sebas could achieve far-reaching fame, it would mean that their names could reach Nazarick as well.
It would be well worth considering. With such information, the Demiurgos' wait for several days was not a total waste.
For now, they head for the city. Sebas had already been recognized by the guards at the gate, When Sebas introduced Demiurgos as his master, the guards didn't seem to be particularly suspicious and let him through.
The Demiurgos didn't know it until now, but a toll was collected when passing through the gate. When I asked Sebas how he had gotten through on the first day, he told me that he deposited his tailcoat jacket as collateral, paid me the money he earned from his construction job, and got it back. Demiurgos thought to himself, "So Sebas must be recognizable to the guards.
They went straight to the workers' inn where Sebas was based, and people on the street kept saying thank you or thank you for your hospitality, and Sebas returned the greetings. It makes me angry to think that it wasn't this meddling that took so many days, but Demiurgos will have to give up that part of his life, he can't even ask Sebas to change. But from now on, he would have to refrain from doing so as much as possible, otherwise he would be wasting his time, and he would have to caution of it later, he kept in mind.
For the next couple of days, Demiurge worked on learning to write. He could get the general idea of the rules by looking at the textbook, and he had Sebas buy him an additional book, a normal book that wasn't for children, and read that while referring to the textbook. He also went out into the streets, pointing at signs and leaflets and asking passersby what was written on them, even though he was a traveler from another country and could not read. Because of this, Demiurge is now perfectly capable of reading, writing, and understanding what is thought to be the Holy Kingdom's language.
With nothing better to do, Sebas continued to work at a construction job. Most of the gossip is unreliable, but it is not without information in the field of day labor. they gained new knowledge that information that the strongman named Kyu-shiki on the Great Eastern Wall is a swordsman named Orlando Campano and an archer named Pavel Baraja, The Holy Kingdom is ruled by Queen Karka Besares, who has as her aides the Kyu-shiki holy knight Remedios Custodio and the head of the Order of Priests, Keralt Custodio, the Holy Kingdom is a feudal state and that nobles are given fiefdoms and rule over various regions.
We knew from Sebas's wages that the money in circulation around here was not Yggdrasil gold coins, but common trade money represented by the coins of the Holy Kingdom and the common trade gold coins, known as gold coins for short.
At night, when everything is ready, they talk about their future plans in their room at the inn.
"Now, let's decide what we're going to do. The only thing we have to do is to return to the Great Tomb under Nazarick as soon as possible. I have no idea where Nazarick is, but it would be inefficient and foolish to search blindly. There will be issues of social status and money in the future, and registering as an adventurer as a quick way to obtain them is not a bad idea. There's also the possibility that if we gain fame, our name will reach Nazarick."
"I have no objection."
"Monster slaying is the kind of helping you like to do, and it would be a great help to me if I could object here, because I can't move the conversation forward. I've observed what appears to be adventurers in this city, and all of them are vulnerable trash, It should be noted that we still don't know how strong the monsters we'll be facing are, but we should be able to climb up quickly with this one. Oh, no need for honorifics from now on, Sebas. Because as members of Nazarick, which was created by the Supreme Being, we are originally on equal footing, and we will become fellow adventurers."
"I see, demiurge."
Sebas nodded, his face expressionless and without a smile. Demiurgos doesn't want to complain about it either, because it's just not nice to be smiled at here.
"One thing I would like to mention is that you seem to be helping people here and there, but I hope you will refrain from doing so from now on. Keep in mind that our objective is to return to the Great Tomb beneath Nazarick as quickly as possible, and we have no time for anything else."
"You have a point, I'll think of a few things to say."
The fact that he doesn't give a straightforward acknowledgment shows how Sebas feels about Demiurge.
"I have one question."
"What is it, Sebas?"
"Why is it that the way to return to Nazarick is to look for Nazarick instead of looking for a way back to Helheim?"
"And of course, we'll be looking for any means of returning to Helheim. However, based on the information we've gathered so far, this land is unknown to us, and we're not even sure if there's a way back to Helheim. And we should also keep in mind that just as we were transported to this place unknowingly, Nazarick could also be involved in the same phenomenon, right? Maybe Nazarick's people have been broken up into pieces and sent to different places, there are many possibilities to consider. In that sense, I think it makes a lot of sense to increase your fame and spread your name, don't you? The higher your social status, the more information you can gather and the more reliable it will be."
Demiurgos didn't dare tell Sebas about the worst-case scenario. He doesn't like to talk about things he isn't sure of, and there's no benefit to ending Sebas's hopes at this point.
In Yggdrasil, monsters are hunted by players, and when there is the unfamiliar profession of adventurer, it is almost a fact in Demiurgos' mind that this world is different from Yggdrasil, but there is no proof and no way to prove it.
"I see, that makes sense. I apologize for interfering in your business."
"I don't mind, as I said before, we're on equal footing, and if you have questions, you should speak up."
"Yes, so from now on, I will not hesitate to ask any questions."
Sebas nodded lightly and told him so, still with a blank expression. Demiurgos honestly didn't want to have much of a conversation, but until we got back to Nazarick, we'd have to work together. Personal feelings are secondary. If possible, Demiurgos sincerely hoped that Sebas would be well aware of this point.
The journey of Demiurge and Sebas to find Nazarick was about to begin in a room of a dirty and cramped inn for laborers that looked like a pigsty from Demiurgos' point of view.
