He looked inside and saw many circular tables arranged in a proper manner but with very few customers. The light inside was dim as compared to outside as it poured in from the two windows on the right and the door at his back. With an evening scene outside. There was another door beside the counter as well. Bar had in total four customers, a waiter and a bartender who was probably its owner.

Three customers were talking among themselves on a circular table (one in the middle had a glance over kits but continued his conversation) and one customer was drinking alone in another table.

Kitsume at first glanced at the person sitting alone and from his looks, he could ascertain that he was probably a farmer in this late 20's and was crying over something. Then he glanced over the three who looked like merchants or shop owners all in their late 40's. Meanwhile the bartender was looking at Kits with the hope of getting more business.

Kits took out a gold coin from his pocket in his hand, walked towards the trio, and interrupted.

"Sorry to disturb your conversation, but I am a person who likes to have some company while drinking. So, can I join you?"

All the three of them looked at him this time, and then their eyes went towards the gold coin in his hand.

"Well, you look like and adventurer but you don't have a plate." The person seated on the left stated.

"Ah, yes I am a mercenary, going to the capital to meet a bard. So just stopping by for a drink"

"Mercenary? Where are others in your group?" The person in the middle inquired.

The first and third looked strong built and the one in the middle looked a little bulky. He looked probably the richest among them. The third person was just staring at him without any expression on his face.

"Pardon me, but I don't know anyone in this city. As for my team, they are in Republic's Capital. None of them was interested in going for such an easy mission. Hence, I am alone right now and….."

The third person interrupted.

"Ah, just sit down kid; we were not discussing anything important…."

Kits in his current form looked like a man in his early 30's. However, a person in his mid 40's calling him kid showed a bit of his personality.

Meanwhile the bartender approached him.

"What would you like to have?" He asked in a polite manner.

Kits handing over a gold coin to him simply stated.

"Same as what they are having. Would you like to repeat your drinks? I don't want my companions to finish early," Kits said with a smile looking at each one of them one by one.

At this, all three of them smiled back along with the air of any doubts.

Apparently, no one refuses free drinks.

The waiter went back with a smile on his face and kits turned towards the trio.

"Let me reintroduce myself, I am Kitsume a mercenary from the Republic equivalent to a platinum ranked adventurer." Kits did work as a mercenary in Republic capital for two months in the past in his human form.

"Oh…." This time the third guy seemed interested.

"Can I have a look at the dagger you are carrying?..." the first one inquired

Kits looked surprised with this sudden question so the middle one stated.

"Ah don't worry.. He is a weapons dealer so that's his profession speaking." Kits eased and nodded and the bulky guy continued "All three of us are merchants and were just passing some time together" then they introduced themselves.

The guy on the left, "I am Serva Epsenol, a weapons dealer based in this city."

The guy in the centre, "I am Walter. Well earlier, I was a weapons dealer from another city, and his main competitor. Now I am thinking of starting a transport business" Looking towards Serva.

The guy in the right, "I am William, a weapons smith who owns a shop in this city."

"Ah so which city are you from?" Kits asked an obvious question looking towards Walter.

Their faces turned pale. Kits felt a sudden change in their mood.

"Ah, …Well I was from E-rantel, I worked hard all my life to set it up. Until that bastard came and ruined everything". Walter stated with hatred in his voice directed towards Sorceror King. Kits was now interested.

"Ohh, that Sorcercer Kingdom, I heard about that undead and also about that tragedy in Kattse Plains. Is that all true?"

The bartender came with drinks for all four of them. Kits told him to keep on repeating the drinks.

"Yes, that monster, monster is a lesser word for him. He took away everything"

"Did you see him?" Kits inquired.

"No, I left E-rantel before the handover. However, I feel pity for those who stayed there. Sometimes I feel scared even to think what would have happened to them"

"Apparently he is no good as an information source." Kits thought

"Is that true that he had an army of Death Knights and soul eaters?" Kits inquired.

It is always good to confirm the info you have.

"Well I don't know the names of those monsters and I haven't see them myself but I had heard that he had a large army of undead monsters." Walter said in a soft regretting and angry voice. Anger directed towards Sorcerer King and sipped from his glass.

The other two were simply listening.

Kits now confirming that this guy had no useful info so decided to change the topic.

"I am sorry for bringing up such a painful topic. Sir Serva I believed you wanted to have a look".

Kits apologised to Walter and handed over his weapon to Serva who looked at it with interest.

"Hooo, this is a good weapon to have. Seems enchanted. Can I appraise it?"

"Yes of course"

Serva used his skill to know about the enchantments and weapon strength and was impressed.

On the contrary, Kits had acquired the weapon from a bandit and it was of no importance to him

"So how did you get your hands on this?"

"Oh I got this one along with many other things from a group of bandits few months back, I sold the rest of the items. This one looked worth keeping," Kits said with a smile

"hahahaha…. If you ever think about selling this beauty, do remember this one." Serva stated with a laugh

"Of course, Kampaiiiii" All of them kept on drinking and talking.

This small group of people talks went on ranging from the weapons, administration of the town, problems faced by many merchants in the various cities, nobles and their alignment, the King, beautiful princess Renner, life before Sorceror King, pitiable state of the farmers along with many other things jumping from one topic to another as they gulped the drinks.

Kits was an undead hence immune from intoxication but his three new friends were quite drunk. They blabbered about many things along their own personal stories. Even though it had nothing to do with his mission, Kits had a good time just chatting.

They invited him for stay at night but kits refused politely and decided to continue his journey. They were uneasy that Kits was leaving during night but Kits simply said that he was fine.


There were two paths towards the Capital city:

One path was via Re-Boulorel town at the east and then south towards the Capital.

The other path was a road near the edge of Kingdom first to the south and then towards the capital on the east consisting of few villages in between.

The city guards and the people in the inn had advised him to take the former path with respect to safety concern. Whereas, Kits actually wanted to know the shortest path.

He decided to go via Re- Boulorel as he wanted to gain some more information as there was no one in E-Asenarel who had any concrete information on Ainz Owl Gown. Even though he had no hopes by doing so.

After he left the E-Asenarel city Kitsume again chucked the small bag in his hand and the small pouch of coins in his personal dimension and started his journey in the same manner as he did earlier.

Being an undead he had no problems in seeing at night and his [Area Scan] gave him a fine outlook at the road ahead along with potential encounters. Which he avoided to engage with, as he wanted to save his time.

He reached the city early in the morning before the sunrise so he simply waited outside the city near the forest.


Re- Boulorel

He entered the city of Re- Boulorel when he saw that the daily activity of the city had started and people had started to move in and out of the city.

After he entered this city, he sensed that the condition of people in this city was even worse off than the condition of the people in E-Asenarel.

He deactivated his [Area Scan] and few other spells and then went to the local inn with his small bag and a pouch of coins in his pocket.

Kits and his friends had hoarded a good amount of gold coins in Yggdrasil but Kits decided not use the same in this world as gold coins were highly valuable currency here and he did't wanted to arouse any suspicions. Instead, he preferred teaching and doing mercenary tasks to gain currency of this world.

Working as a mercenary, he had gained popularity in his human form as an equivalent to platinum ranked adventurer along with earning good amount of gold coins, which he had stored in his personal dimension and few coins in a pouch in his pocket. Apart of spending it to gain information about this world, he had nothing else to spend it.

Sometimes he bought books, news leaflets, talked to complete strangers or bards to gain information as much as he can and generally stayed out of trouble or even exposing himself. Unlike touch-me he was not the type of person to jump into stranger fights. He tried to remain indifferent unless he or his group were affected in any manner. However, sometimes he did help others. Hence, one can say that it depended more on his mood and the state of mid he was in.

There were very few people in the inn before noon having brunch.

He came out from the inn of Re- Boulorel disappointed by the fact that he gained no new information from the people about Ainz Owl Gown.

"It appears that the new noble in this city is an idiot," he mumbled.

Many nobles had died in the previous battle and some positions were now in the hands of 3rd grade nobles. These set of new nobles were illiterate or simply incompetent or worse were wasting available resources. The noble guy in E-Arsenarel at least listened to his uncle who had started training him to become an efficient one. On the other hand, the noble here in Re-Boulorel was simply wasting off the money and misusing his authority putting not only the lives of people but also the future of this city in danger.

People in this city were unhappy and Kits felt if things got worse, they might even revolt in future.

"If they do revolt they might not be able to over throw him. Huh, what am I thinking it was a waste coming to this city after all. Let's head towards the capital" Kits though.

Kits was angry on himself for wasting his time on this city. "Should I kill this noble? nah that will waste more of my time I can try reaching capital before evening."


Thinking thus Kits increased his pace with [agility boost] and [teleport]. He was also using [greater invisibility spell] to avoid anyone viewing a human moving at such speeds.

Even though Kits could change into a bird, demo, an angel or any other form with the help of his ring kits preferred to move on the ground as it was much safer to move on ground as compared to flying. This was part of the basics while traveling to unknown area while not marked. Obviously, he could simply use greater teleport to go back to any previously visited and marked areas.

Kits was Moving fast along an almost straight path with plains on his right hand side and small mountains on his right. He even saw many people (all humans) moving along the same path.

"This one is a busy road after all". Kits mumbled and kept on going forward.

Re- Boulorel lied between Re- Ulovale in the north, Royal Capital in the south and E-Asenarel to the west. Even though Re-Bluemulashull lied in the east of Re- Boulorel, there was no direct connecting path due to the small mountain range in between. Not only regularly patrolled by King's men, this road between the Re- Boulorel and the Kingdom's Capital served many people.

Obviously, Princess Reener was the one who came up with the idea of regular patrolling of this road.

Kits moved at incredible speeds jumping above carriages like an Olympic racer jumping above obstacles' and mostly detouring from main road to avoid unnecessary obstacles in between. Obviously, no one could see or sense him sometimes few were only able to hear the sound of wind blowing.


Royal Capital

By evening Kitsume reached the gates of the city. He looked for a spot to undo his invisibility magic and after finding one, he undid them all. He then walked confidently towards the Royal Capital city the capital of the Kingdom.

The city was well defended city compared to the other cities in the Kingdom Kits had visited but not so as compared to the Republic's capital.

As soon as he entered the city, he was shocked.

He had expected only humans in this city.

However, here he could sense, his [Area Scan] was still active, Shadow demons and that too from the Royal palace.

"Is there the Royal palace?" he inquired a random stranger. He just wanted to confirm.

"Yes" The person simply said and kept on walking as if it was obvious just by looking at it.

"What the hell are shadow demons doing here?" he thought.
