A/N: Welcome back everyone... let me start off by saying you guys are awesome... three chapters ago I was thanking you for 10k views of my story and now I'm over 41K! Thanks again... I'm surprised no one has asked me about this or pointed it out yet but I'll clear it up now in case anyone was wondering... when I do Albedo's dialogue/summaries and I call Ainz a bunch of different names during the conversation that is intentional... I'm not trying to confuse you guys just wording out Albedo's inner struggle with what to call him... Lastly, this is for the Shalltear shippers who want me to add her to the almost harem... it's never going to happen lol... here is the thing about Shalltear... yes she is level 100, yes she was created not born, yes she is a bad ass, yes she is a vampire, but here is the thing... she looks like she is 14! so unless you are 16 or younger, to me, it's creepy as fuck that you want her in the harem so bad... if she finds a way to mature (appearance wise), maybe I'll add her but don't count on it... review reply time...
DatSonyat: I wouldn't say I have a gift for writing big chapters, I'd say I have an Overlord problem lol... I actually have a character sheet for Aureole and Rubedo but forgot to include it in the last chapter so it will be at the end of this one (warning: OP doesn't even begin to describe Rubedo lol)... the Holy Kingdom and Dwarf arcs are my favorite so I'm excited to write about them... I have pain planned for the Holy Kingdom's leaders... you will see muahahaha... I also love Cocytus... honestly I like all the characters from Nazarick... there is only a couple I dislike in the whole Overlord universe... I can't stand Climb or Remedios the most... but don't kill me... I don't like evileye very much either... I don't hate her, I just don't love her as most people do for some reason... My feelings for characters are irrelevant for my fanfic... well except for Albedo obviously she is my favorite... I had fun writing the Pleiades battle scene and I thought it was pretty good but wasn't sure... I always wanted to write a Pleiades battle scene with all of them together so figured why shouldn't I?... I have played tons of MMOs and RPGs... I've been playing DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) for almost 13 years now, I've played WoW, my favorite game franchise of all time is The Elder Scrolls, I also like RTS games like Civilization, Halo Wars, Command and Conquer, etc... so along with the 20+ years of D&D experience I also have even more experience with video games like that... I'm not sure how far into the story I'll wait for them to break level cap but it will happen... I also posted this story on Wattpad and AO3 so I know what you mean... Last but not least Taylar and Albedo will always be the main two... not quite sure about adding more at this point but it would be fun to see what I could think of if Rubedo and Ainz had a baby hehe
Eltyr: I think I might be spoiling you guys... I bet that's the only review in history that called a 14K+ chapter little lol... I'm excited for the Holy Kingdom myself... vol 12 and 13 are my favorite in the canon... I am going to bring the Swords of Darkness back obviously... I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it... I have finished their new character sheets for when they are ready to go just figuring out how to bring them back
Akuma-Heika: The three seats Albedo are referring to are Ainz', Taylar's, and Albedo's... like in the canon, Albedo despises the other 39 supreme beings for leaving them... the Holy Queen was pretty bad in the canon... those spells I talked about her making for beauty and her keeping them a secret are in the canon damn near word for word but I did make her a little worse then she is in the canon and I made Kelart a little better but not by much... the prince didn't withdraw his name in my fanfic he was straight up passed over in mine so that is different... I was going to start posting the differences in the A/N at the beginning but realized after the first time I did it I was just leaving spoilers for the chapters lol... As you can see with the last chapter, I kind of added it at the end when it came to everyone's appearance
lucarioDN: glad you liked it... I don't plan on doing a crossover with this story... I do plan on completing it and starting another one... not sure I'll actually do that but it would be the ideal situation for what I'm trying to accomplish with this fanfic... bloody emperor will be very egotistical but that's all I'll give away for now lol
Mokamiharu: I'm going to try and remember to post some of the changes of the NPCs I don't make obvious at the notes at the end... can't say I'll always remember to do it but I will try... The Forsaken v2.0 was indeed doppelgangers... Ainz can create doppelgangers just like Hanzos and other high-level servants using gold from Yggdrasil... it is how Doppel-Caspond came about in the LNs... same thing happened here I just didn't write it as a scene in the chapter... downside to summoned anything is they can't level even if they are permanent like the Doppelgangers and Death Knights
Overword: Yep another romance one... I mean the genre tag does say Romance/Fantasy... It is about more then just that because I have battle scenes and plenty of other scenes that have nothing to do with romance but it will be an ever present thing in my fanfic (romance that is)
EricTheRed4444: Yeah I'll never write something about someone being raped even if it is for torture purposes in a fanfic... If you read the A/N you can tell I don't want to add Shalltear because it seems to pedophil-ish to me... I don't think I could even write something like that... dismemberment, gore, suffering, etc I have no problem with... I will imply it somewhat because of the nature of Demiurge's farm but I'll never write a scene about it
kelsey-kianna: As you can tell from the A/N I've been calling Ainz 4 different names when I do Albedo's dialogue... trying to show her inner struggle with calling him anything other than Lord Momonga... Remember though, the NPCs are slightly different in that I'm making it easier for them to not be ruled by their alignment completely... they still have their needs as evil beings but can overcome that need most of the time... I was actually going to have Taylar get captured by the Slaine Theocracy and have Ainz go batshit crazy on their country and destroy it but I decided to go a different route... Rubedo went to Carne with Taylar for a reason... not that I have said that reason yet but if Taylar isn't with Ainz and leaves Nazarick (Albedo also)... they will have either Rubedo, Sebas, or another level 100 with them at all times... You will find out why in due time *wink*
I managed to keep the replies to under 1K words this time lol... Now, let's get to chapter 13!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Restaurant, 9th-floor Nazarick...
Ainz, Taylar, Albedo, and Aureole were just finishing up dinner. There were also four homunculi maids with them but it was a trade off Ainz had to take. The only way he got them to back down on leaving them unattended for so long on the 6th floor was to agree there would be a maid for each of them during dinner. It wasn't that Ainz minded them being there. They were quiet the whole time unless they needed to speak but he had to watch what he said when they were around.
When he found out how the guardians were planning world domination before he ever let them know, it was because of Lupus Regina and Narberal the first time they went out. When he found out how everyone in Nazarick knew he held hands with Albedo the first time, it was the maids. It seemed like the maids of Nazarick were like some of the ones he used to see on TV, they loved their gossip.
Right as they are about to eat dessert, something pops into Taylar's mind that she had completely forgotten about because of the great day she had been having.
"Oh crap, shouldn't have Cocytus made it to the Lizardmen village like four hours ago?" she asks
"Oh no, I delayed that situation right before you showed up for lunch. I halted his undead about 30 minutes from the village and told him to wait until I told him to continue. I figured I would give him some more time to think about what he is doing. He at least rearranged the formation and has the Elder Lich with the unit so it is not all bad." Ainz said.
"It is good to see he is learning." Taylar says
"Well... don't get too excited. He still hasn't even realized the next village is empty. I was hoping he would use the time to scout with the Mirror of Remote Viewing." Ainz says
"So are we going to see him after desert then love?" Albedo asks
"I am. You three have an appointment after this." Ainz says
"Oh? What appointment would that be?" Taylar asks
"Did you know there is a beauty salon on this floor? Apparently, everyone believes it is only for the supreme beings so Claire is quite lonely waiting for customers. I told her you three would stop by and see her." Ainz says to them
"You aren't going to go deal with the Lizardmen alone while we are getting our nails done are you?" Taylar asks while wagging her finger at him. It would be just like him to try and do something like that and tell them it was because he didn't want to risk them getting injured or worse.
"No, I have already scouted the Lizardmen and have seen what they are doing. We have other things to attend to in the meantime so I will let them gather their forces for now. When we are back from the Empire and the Re-Estize Kingdom, we will deal with them together." Ainz says to both of them
"OK! Then let's finish up dinner so us girls can go spend some time together!" Taylar says to them. They all finish up their ice cream and head their separate ways. Ainz to go talk to Cocytus and the three ladies to see Claire.
Fake Nazarick (Cocytus Command Center)...
Cocytus had been sitting at the table in the fake Nazarick for what felt like an eternity replaying what Lord Ainz had said to him. He was going over every aspect of the battle he could remember trying to come up with a better way to approach the next battle. He had already rearranged his formations and put the Elder Lich in charge of the unit so they wouldn't be falling into any holes this time.
He also planned to send the riders around to flank the enemy when the time came to start so they would have to split their forces and the battle would go much smoother. He knew the supreme being had to see his new formation yet he stopped his march regardless. Cocytus couldn't think of any reason even after all the thinking he had been doing the last few hours. He did the only thing he could think of that he didn't try yet.
{DEMIURGE. ARE. YOU. AVAILABLE?}
{Yes my friend, what is it?}
{I. WISH. FOR. YOUR. INSIGHT. ON. A. MATTER. I. AM. TRYING. TO. RESOLVE.}
{I will help you the best I can Cocytus. Tell me what is troubling you my friend.}
Cocytus proceeded to explain to Demiurge the events of the last two days. He told him about the first battle against the Lizardmen and how Cocytus had underestimated the Lizardmen bravery and warrior spirits, how he almost lost the battle and would of probably if not for him sending in the Elder Lich, how he had rearranged his formations and included the Elder Lich as a commander this time to avoid the mindless undead from falling into traps.
Demiurge listened intently the entire time Cocytus was talking to him. It was not easy for someone like Demiurge to make a genuine friend and that was exactly what Cocytus was. He would help him in any way he possibly could. It would also be helping Nazarick in the process, and that was something that pleased Demiurge to no end. After he heard Cocytus' story, he had a few things he thought might be helpful and wasted no time giving his friend some advice.
{I have a couple things that might help. First, do you remember the first order Lord Ainz gave when we were brought to this world Cocytus?} Demiurge asks
{HE. GATHERED. US. ON. THE. 6TH. FLOOR.} Cocytus says
{No, my friend. He ordered Sebas to scout the area around Nazarick. Your first problem is that you lacked intelligence.} Demiurge tells him
{I. KNOW. I. DON'T. POSSESS. YOUR. INTELLECT. DEMIURGE. BU-}
{No my friend. I'm not referring to your level of intelligence. I mean Intel, information, knowledge. If you would have scouted the Lizardmen village before, do you think you would have spotted the holes your undead fell into?}
{YES. BUT. I. WAS. NOT. GIVEN. SCOUTS. IN. MY. UNIT.}
{True but you were given a mirror of remote viewing or maybe Lord Ainz was hoping you would ask for a unit to do recon since you had none. Have you thought about why Lord Ainz gave you such a weak unit to conquer the Lizardmen?}
{BECAUSE. LORD. AINZ. COULD. HAVE. DEFEATED. THE. LIZARDMEN. WITH. SUCH. A. UNIT?}
What Cocytus said to Demiurge wasn't really a statement. He honestly had no idea now that he thought about it. Lord Ainz could probably win with such a unit but Cocytus couldn't see conquering all the Lizardmen villages with just this unit alone.
{While I'm sure Lord Ainz could conquer the Lizardmen with a few words, that is not the point. Lord Ainz puts information and strategy above all else when he engages in combat. He would have already known you could not win with such a unit. I believ-}
{DEMIURGE. I. MUST. GO. THANK. YOU.}
Cocytus interrupted Demiurge and the excellent points he was making because Lord Ainz had just appeared in front of Cocytus, Aura, Mare, and Entoma who were all in the fake Nazarick with him. They all immediately get up and kneel before Lord Ainz.
"You may rise." Ainz says with a regal movement of his hands.
He was getting pretty good at this ruling thing. Especially considering he was picking all of this up from books. After they all raised their heads, Ainz continued.
"Tell me Cocytus, what have you been doing these last few hours your troops have been halted?" Ainz asks him
"I. HAVE. BEEN. GOING. OVER. MY. STRATEGY. LORD. AINZ." Cocytus says
"Oh? Tell me then, other than your new formation and sending a commander in at the start what have you thought of?" Ainz asked. The first answer Cocytus gave was exactly what Ainz wanted to hear.
"AFTER. CONSULTING. WITH. DEMIURGE. I. WAS. GOING. TO. SCOUT. THE. NEXT. VILLAGE. WITH. THE. MIRROR. YOU. PROVIDED. AND. USE. A. DIFFERENT. ATTACK. STRATEGY, MY. LORD."
"That is a good start Cocytus. Do you remember what I told you when I gave you the orders to subjugate the Lizardmen?" Ainz asks him
"YOU. TOLD. ME. TO. ORDER. MY. TROOPS. TO VICTORY. LORD. AINZ." Cocytus replies to him
"That is only half right Cocytus. I told you to figure out what you needed to obtain victory and order your troops to victory. Can you conquer all the Lizardmen tribes with the unit I provided Cocytus?" Ainz says
"NOT. WITH. THE. LOSSES. I. ALREADY. SUSTAINED. LORD. AINZ." Cocytus replies shame obvious in his voice.
"You wouldn't have been able to conquer them even if you lost no troops in your last battle Cocytus. I wanted you to think like a General, not a warrior. I was a little disappointed at the start but I am glad to see you making such progress in such a short time. How did you plan to attack the next village since you changed your strategy." Ainz asks him. This is actually more of a trick question because the next village was empty.
"I. WAS. GOING. TO. SEND. THE. RIDERS. INTO. A. FLANKING. MANEUVER. AROUND. THE. BAC-"
Cocytus is interrupted by Ainz.
"That is why I stopped you Cocytus. I am glad you figured out you needed to do recon, but the next village is already completely abandoned. You would be attacking the air if you used that strategy." Ainz tells him
Cocytus just hangs his head in shame. He had disappointed the supreme one, the only graver sin would be to betray the supreme being. Cocytus needed to atone for this somehow. He kneels again before Lord Ainz with his head low.
"I. HAVE. DISAPPOINTED. YOU. MY. LORD. I. WILL. ATONE. WITH. MY. LIFE. IF. YOU. WILL. IT." Cocytus says to him. Ainz can tell he is not joking. This was the last thing he wanted to come out of this test.
"There is no need for such action Cocytus. I set you up to fail from the start hoping you would ask for assistance. I need all of you to be able to think for yourselves if Nazarick is going to truly shine in this world. The fact you have learned so much in such a short time is exactly what I wanted to have happened." Ainz tells him
"THANK. YOU. FOR. YOUR. MERCY. SUPREME. ONE. I. SHALL. NOT. FAIL. YOU. AGAIN." Cocytus replies
"I told you Cocytus, I set you up to fail, it is not your doing. I would like you to stay here and continue the march of the undead to the next villages just at a much slower pace. They sent out a lone runner from the fourth village on a hydra to try and unite all their tribes together to fight your unit. I will give them the necessary time to band together what forces they can, then I will go see these Lizardmen myself. Entoma, you and CZ will report to Yuri Alpha about your assignment in Re-Estize. Cocytus will be helping with Nazarick's security while you are away with Mare." Ainz tells everyone
"OF. COURSE. SUPREME. ONE, I. SHALL. DO. YOUR. WILL." Cocytus says
"Yes my lord!" everyone else says
"Oh, one last thing. Once we have dealt with the Lizardmen, I want you to see Titus in the library about some books I will tell him to lend you. When Demiurge has some time, I would like for you to get together with him to discuss battle strategy, scenarios, and other various things with him. He is the defense commander of Nazarick and will have much knowledge you could benefit from Cocytus." Ainz tells the insect then teleports away
8th Floor Cherry Blossom Sanctuary...
Aureole and Demiurge are sitting in the sanctuary going over her reports of the Holy Kingdom and Slaine Theocracy. This had become an everyday thing for Demiurge since his restriction to the 8th floor had been lifted. He not only got to realize how correct Lady Taylar was about Aureole's scrying abilities, but it also afforded him the time to get to know the heir of Nazarick, much to his delight.
Aureole didn't mind the company. The only other being that wasn't her father or mother who spent any time with her was Rubedo since she also resided on the 8th floor. While she hadn't minded the company, she was getting pretty annoyed with Demiurge constantly calling her the Heir of Nazarick.
The last thing Aureole wanted was to rule Nazarick. She wasn't super happy about being stuck on the 8th floor most of the time but if getting to leave meant she had to rule Nazarick, she would rather spend all her time here. As she was about to tell Demiurge for the thousandth time today not to call her the Heir of Nazarick, she felt someone teleport to the front door of the sanctuary. She knew from the aura of power she could sense it could only be one person. She shot up from her sitting position across from Demiurge and ran straight for the door.
Ainz had just teleported from the fake Nazarick to the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary to speak with Demiurge. He only had a few moments left before he, Taylar, Albedo, and Narberal were going to be leaving for E-Rantel. He had been meaning to speak with Demiurge since he witnessed Shalltear create one of her Vampire Brides. Now that Demiurge was going to be in Nazarick for a few months of planning, he saw this as his best opportunity to speak with him and get his help for the experiments he wanted to try.
As he was reaching for the door to open it, he sensed a being filled with an enormous amount of excitement and happiness running straight for the door. He already knew what to expect when opening the door and braced himself for the impact that was sure to follow. Just as he anticipated, Aureole came crashing into him and wrapped her arms around him for a hug. He returned the hug and looked down at her.
"Hello daughter, did you miss me?" Ainz says with a smile on his face.
"Yes father! I haven't seen you in forever!" Aureole says excitedly
"We spent all day together yesterday Aureole. Surely you didn't miss me that much?" Ainz says to her
"Of course I did father! I always miss you and mother when you leave! Where is mother?" she says to him
"She is getting ready to leave for E-Rantel with us. I came to talk to Demiurge about some things. I heard he was here and has been visiting you quite a bit." Ainz says
"Yes... Demiurge is here father. Can you please tell him to stop calling me the Heir of Nazarick?" she pleads with him
"Well technically, you are the Heir to Nazarick so he isn't wrong there, but I won't make you take over Nazarick if you don't want to." Ainz says to her
"I don't! That seems like too much work father!" she says.
This gets a chuckle out of Ainz especially considering how much she has been doing since they arrived here. If he thinks about it, she has probably done more work then he has, but no reason to let her know that.
"I need to speak with Demiurge for a little bit before leaving Aureole. Would you like to go say goodbye to your mother, Albedo, and Narberal?" Ainz asks her
"I would love to if that is alright with you father!" she says very happily
"Yes, it is fine. You can return after I am finished speaking with Demiurge." Ainz tells her
*GATE*
Aureole steps through the Gate to say bye to Taylar, Albedo, and Narberal. Ainz turns his attention to Demiurge who had been kneeling the entire time he had been speaking with Aureole. Ainz didn't even notice at first but quickly told him to rise.
"Demiurge, I have a few things I would like to discuss with you before I leave. Do you have a few minutes?" Ainz asks
"Of course supreme one. I always have time for the ruler of Nazarick and greatest of the supreme beings." Demiurge says to him
"Good, first thing I would like to discuss is about Cocytus."
As Ainz says this he can tell Demiurge actually shows a little concern for Cocytus. After Ainz talked to Cocytus he was pleasantly surprised that he contacted Demiurge for advice. That was the sort of thing Ainz was hoping Cocytus would do. Since Demiurge was the defense commander of Nazarick, he would have much more knowledge of battle tactics than Cocytus would. Judging from the look on Demiurge's face, he thought it was going to be something bad about Cocytus but that wasn't why Ainz was here.
"As you know, Cocytus had some trouble giving orders from a different location to his troops and made some mistakes when engaging the Lizardmen. I am having him take over security for Mare while he is in the Re-Estize capital. When you have time between planning and going over information with Aureole, I want you to teach Cocytus battle formations, ambush strategies, battle scenarios, things like that. I have a couple books I am lending to Cocytus to learn but it would make it faster if you were there to help him." Ainz tells him
"I shall teach Cocytus as much as I can Lord Ainz." Demiurge responds
"Good, next is about some experiments I wish to conduct when I have time in Nazarick. I know you are big on experimentation and thought you would be best suited to help me with this. Do you still have some humans from your time in the Re-Estize capital?" Ainz asks
"Yes Lord Ainz. I have a few humans left from my time there." Demiurge replies
"Fantastic. I had Aura capture some goblins, trolls, barghests, and other such creatures from the forest. I need some alive and some dead. I wish to try some experiments in undead creation that are different from my usual ability. Have you ever seen Shalltear create a Vampire Bride Demiurge?" he asks the devil
"No Lord Ainz. I thought Vampire Brides where given to Shalltear by Nazarick. I was not aware she could create them." Demiurge replies
"No, I witnessed her create one in the Frozen Prison. She used her blood, magic, and some negative energy to turn a still alive human divine caster into a Vampire Bride in a matter of seconds. I wish to see if I can create undead like this, and if I can, figure out if it is different undead based on race, gender, or if it is alive or dead while I do it. Can you spare some time for me to assist me in this?" Ainz asks
"Of course supreme one. I shall help in every way I possibly can." Demiurge says. completely excited at the possibility of helping his lord with the creation of new undead.
"Good, last thing, Aureole really does not like being called the Heir of Nazarick. Could you please just call her Aureole or Aureole Omega?" Ainz asks him
"But Lord Ainz, I cannot address the Heir of Nazarick like that. The daughter of the last two supreme beings should be treated with the proper respect!" Demiurge says
Ainz can tell Demiurge is damn serious about what he just said. The look in his eyes makes it seem like Ainz just told him he was leaving forever and never coming back.
"How about Lady Aureole then? Just lay off the Heir of Nazarick title. Aureole has no interest in ruling Nazarick. She might change her mind one day but we will cross that bridge when it comes to that." Ainz tells him
"As you command Lord Ainz." Demiurge replies
"Do you have any questions for me before I depart Demiurge?" Ainz asks
"No supreme one. I am still going over the information and have yet to start drafting my plans for these kingdoms." Demiurge responds
"Very well Demiurge. I look forward to your plans for these kingdoms." he replies
*GATE*
Ainz steps through his gate and appears outside the front of Nazarick. There are three wagons out front, each with one of the bodies of the monsters they were supposed to hunt for the guild. Ainz was originally going to just grab the items the receptionist told him they needed to get credit for the kills but thought it would make a much bigger impact if he rolled up to the city with the whole corpse. He also found out he could sell most of the body parts to the magician's guild for materials. They use a great deal of each of these three creatures for magic items, potions, and other various things.
He sees Taylar, Albedo, Narberal, and Aureole standing near the carts talking to each other. Aureole runs up to him as soon as she sees him step through the gate just like she did on the 8th floor and crash into him with a hug. All three of the women standing near the carts have smiles on their faces as they watch him hug Aureole back. Taylar makes her way up to them to tease Ainz a bit before they leave.
"I wish she was that excited to see me every time I showed up." Taylar fake pouts as she makes her way to where Ainz and Aureole are standing.
"It seems your mother is upset that you are a daddy's girl." Ainz says to tease Taylar. He bends down and whispers in Aureole's ear. "I think she needs a hug from both of us and a really, really tight one."
As he finishes saying that he gives Taylar a smirk. Ainz and Aureole quickly turn to Taylar and wrap her up tight in a hug. Ainz with his arms around her shoulders and Aureole with her arms around her waist. Taylar is happy with the sudden group hug and pats Aureole on the head. It is the only thing she can do at the moment with Ainz trapping her arms in his hug. Right as Ainz sends Aureole back and they are about to leave, Lupus Regina shows up.
"Lupus Regina, have you informed Enri that you will be gone for a couple of days?" Taylar asks her
"I have Lady Taylar. I also have two pieces of new information for you and Lord Ainz concerning Carne Village supreme one." Lupus Regina says
"Oh? What are they Lupus Regina?" Ainz asks
"Well..."
Carne Village...
Enri was out working in the fields in the morning like she always did. She had been at it for a couple of hours and was taking a quick break to gather herself. She was thinking about the events that unfolded yesterday and how it never seemed to be very boring or very safe around Carne Village recently.
Her mind immediately thought of the feast Lady Taylar had created the day before for everyone to share during lunch time. Enri had wondered since she saw the enormous table in the town square how Lady Taylar had created such food and it only increased her curiosity when the table, food, and dishware had simply vanished just like she said it would.
When she got the opportunity to ask Lady Taylar later in the evening how she made it, she told her it was a Miko spell called Heroes Feast. From what Enri gathered, Miko's were like priestesses from Lady Taylar's homeland. Apparently, it was used to give people buffs for things like endurance, strength, and constitution. It explained why Enri had felt so fantastic all day even though she had been working really hard in the fields. When Lady Taylar had explained to her there was a higher tier spell known as Pavilion of Grandeur that could feed a thousand people, instead of the 150 Heroes Feast fed, her jaw nearly fell off it dropped so quickly.
Enri then remembered what brought Lady Taylar to Carne Village last night and a shiver went down her spine. Enri thought about what would have happened if Lord Ainz, Lady Taylar, Lady Albedo, and their maids had not shown up. There was no way her, Nfirea, the goblins, and a handful of villagers could have held off that army of monsters.
*Flashback right after the Pleiades made their first attacks*
"Well, I asked her to start with her new spell but I didn't think it would be that effective." Ainz says to no one in particular
"W-W-What kind of l-l-lightning spell was t-t-that?!" Nfirea had asked not really directed at anyone in particular
"Oh, that's Lightning Storm, a tier 8 spell. Narberal Gamma just learned it a little while ago." Ainz tells Nfirea
"Tier 8! Even the thirteen heroes couldn't cast magic that high!" Nfirea replies
"Neither could the Slaine Theocracy's precious six gods." Taylar says
It was obvious from her tone of voice she did not care for the Slaine Theocracy or their gods. Even Albedo was wondering how Lady Taylar knew the six pretender gods couldn't cast tier 8 magic. If that was indeed true, they were certainly not gods at all. Or maybe that was the difference between a god and a supreme being. Lady Taylar and Lord Ainz did tell her they used to hunt gods for fun.
"H-H-How do you know t-t-they couldn't Lady Taylar?" Nfirea asks
"I thought there were only four gods Lady Taylar?" Enri asks at the same time
"We have seen the statues of their six gods. They are from our homeland and came here before they could reach their maximum potential. That is how I know they couldn't cast tier 8 or higher magic Nfirea. As for there being six and not four Enri, it is because the other two "gods" I am speaking of were heteromorphic beings. It wouldn't look good for a human supremacist country like the Slaine Theocracy to be worshiping an undead like Surshana would it?" Taylar replies to them
"Y-Y-You knew t-t-the six gods?" Nfirea says
"I only knew one, to be honest, Alah Alaf. Lord Ainz knew Surshana and Chikyu (God of Earth). He would know more about those two than I would." Taylar says
"Does that mean you can cast higher than tier 9 magic Lady Taylar and Lord Ainz?" Enri asks
Taylar looks over at Ainz wondering if he minds if she tells them she can cast super tier magic. As they make eye contact, Ainz just shrugs his shoulders as if to say, go ahead they already know a ton about us.
"Lord Ainz and I can cast magic up to what is called Super-Tier. The Slaine Theocracy calls it god-level magic but it is just one step above tier 10." Taylar says to Enri
For the second time in only a few minutes, Enri and Nfirea's jaws almost fall off after hearing that. They had known they could use up to tier 9 based off what Enri told Nfirea she heard Lady Taylar say to Lord Ainz when they first came to this village but to think there was a tier 10 and one even higher called super-tier left them in a state of shock. Enri finally composed herself enough to ask the question she really wanted to know now that she learned all this about them.
"A-A-Are you gods Lady Taylar, Lord Ainz?" Enri asks
"No, we are not gods Enri." Ainz quickly says to her
"Lord Ainz and Lady Taylar used to hunt gods for fun. They are not something as weak as a god, they are supreme beings Enri Emmot." Albedo says to them
"I-I-Is that t-t-true Lord Ainz? You used to h-h-hunt gods for fun?" Nfirea asks
'Shit, we should have never told Albedo about hunting down the Greek and Egyptian Gods for their materials to make the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.' Ainz and Taylar both think at the same time
"Well, yes sort of. Some things can only be made by the material and items dropped from a god." Ainz says really regretting they said that. He has a good idea where this is going to lead people, and like Taylar, he isn't a big fan of religion. Luckily he is saved from having to answer any more questions about being a god since the battle outside the village is finally over.
"That is enough Pleiades. You have done a magnificent job already." he tells them
"But Lord Ainz, those creatures must pay for attacking what is under your protection!" Yuri says
"It is OK Yuri. They are not getting away, Aura is waiting for them in the forest." Ainz says with a smile on his face. It was good to witness such a display from the Pleiades. He needed something like this to pick him up after watching Cocytus.
"As you command Lord Ainz." Yuri replies and begins to gather her sisters to make their way back to their lord.
"Aureole Omega, you did a great job. Your mother and I will be by later to see you." Ainz says to the sky
All of the villagers and goblins are looking around wondering who in the world he is talking to. Then to all their surprises, the sky answers Lord Ainz.
"I can't wait father!" Aureole says
"L-L-Lord Ainz, you have a daughter?!" Enri almost yells
"Ahh, yes we do. She takes after her mother and is a Miko Priestess like Taylar but she specializes in certain types of spells, unlike Taylar. I believe you call them diviners here. We call them seers." he says to the girl
"I'm going to check the Pleiades with Analyze to see if anyone leveled. Want to come with me my loves?" Ainz asks Taylar and Albedo
"I would love to!" Albedo says excitedly
"I am going to check on the villagers. I will be with you shortly. Enri, would you like to come with me to make sure everyone is alright?" Taylar says
"It would be my honor Lady Taylar." Enri replies with a bow to Lady Taylar
Taylar makes her way down the steps of the watchtower followed closely by Enri. As they get to the bottom and are starting to make their way towards the back gate, Nemu comes running up to them. She runs right at Enri and gives her a big hug seeing she is alright.
"Sis you are alright!" Nemu yells after hugging her
"Yes, Nemu. Lady Taylar, Lord Ainz, Lady Albedo, and their friends came to help us. We are fine now the battle is over." Enri tells the little girl
"T-T-Thank you for saving us again!" Nemu says as she turns to Taylar and gives a cute little curtsy to her
"You are welcome Nemu. We are here to protect you. Would you like to come with Enri and I to check on everyone else?" Taylar asks her
Nemu quickly nods her head up and down and Taylar extends her hand out to her for her to grab onto. Enri notices when Nemu grabs her hand that Lady Taylar seemed to smile a bit brighter than normal. She always looked like a goddess to Enri but this smile made her seem more motherly and caring than normal.
"You coming to Enri?" Taylar asks
*Flashback End*
Enri snaps out of her daydream from yesterday and is about to get back to work when she sees the village chief coming towards her. He waves to her to get her attention and walks right up to her.
"Hello Enri, do you have a minute to talk with me?" the chief says
"Sure Chief. What do you need?" Enri asks
"Do you mind if we go someplace out of the sun? These old bones can't take the heat like they used to." he says
"Chief, you are barely over 40 and you still work in the fields just fine. You are not that old." Enri says to the man
"Well, I would rather sit down for this conversation. I believe you will want to as well." he tells Enri
Enri is wondering what the hell he is talking about. Why would she need to sit down for a conversation? The only thing she could think of was something happened to Nemu but she was about thirty feet away helping the goblins with the fields. She figured it wouldn't hurt to go inside and chat for a bit.
"Sure chief, lead the way." she says
They walk to the village chiefs house and he asks Enri to join him inside. Once they enter the house, Enri sees his wife moving around the living room. Before she can say hello, the village chiefs wife beats her to it.
"Welcome Enri, would you like something to drink?" she asks
"I could use a water if you don't mind." Enri says she had been working in the field all morning and could use a drink right about now.
"No problem at all Enri. I will be right back." she replies
The chief asks Enri to have a seat around the table so he can discuss this matter with her. As soon as she gets settled in around the table, the chief's wife comes back with her glass of water.
"Thank you" Enri says
"No problem Enri. I'll give you two some privacy, call if you need anything dear." she says and makes her way towards the back of the house.
"OK, what is up with all the secrecy and privacy to talk. You are starting to freak me out chief." Enri says
"I don't mean to scare you Enri so I'll get right to the point. I have talked to the rest of the villagers and we have come to an agreement. We think you should become the chief of Carne Village." he says
Enri is just staring at him with a blank expression on her face. She has no idea how to process what he just told her. She was a simple sixteen-year-old village girl. Her be village chief? What in the world were the villagers thinking?
"ARE ALL OF YOU FUCKING RETARDED?! I'M SIXTEEN! WHAT WOULD I KNOW ABOUT BEING A VILLAGE CHIEF!" Enri yells at the top of her lungs
"Calm down Enri!" His voice booms with the authority of being chief for the last 15 years. "I know you are young but if you think about it, you are the best choice for the job." the chief says
"How in the world could I be the best option for this?!" Enri says. She stopped yelling but you can hear the frustration in her voice.
"You were given an item from the gods to help out around here. When we learned of the army coming, you quickly thought of a strategy to gets as many to safety as possible, and Lady Taylar seems to favor you and Nemu more than any others. We see her come to visit you. We know she always checks on us as well but her first stop is always your house. Even the liaison Lupus Regina was told to talk to you and me if we required anything." the chief gives his reasoning for their decision.
"I-I-I-" Enri stutters out
"You do not have to decide right now. Go take a walk, clear your head, and think about it. You can let me know when you are ready Enri." the chief says
Enri doesn't say anything she simply gets up and walks out of the house. She needed to go somewhere and think about this very hard. She still thought everyone was out of their minds. She needed to speak with someone else. It couldn't be one of the villagers they had already decided she should be chief.
Maybe she could talk to Nfirea. He was usually shut in his alchemy lab, maybe he didn't know about it yet. Right when she was about to head towards where Nfirea was, she saw someone who would be just as good to talk too slowly descending from the sky.
"Lupus Regina! I really, really need to talk to you!" Enri says as she runs straight for Lupus Regina, grabs her by the shoulders, and starts shaking her while repeating herself
"Oh no~ Today is finally the day~ Enri has discovered she loves women and is going to rape me~ Stay back horny village girl~ Stay back~" Lupus Regina says making a cross with her fingers in front of Enri's face.
Enri blushes at the implication once she realizes what Lupus Regina had said and quickly jumps back a step.
"They want to make me chief! What the hell are they thinking Lupu?!" Enri quickly shuts her frustration to Lupus Regina
"You are as good a choice as any~" she says
"How could you possibly think that?!" Enri says
"There are only 41 perfect beings as far as I know~ Everyone will make mistakes, but you learn from them also~ So why not you~"
"That doesn't make any sense!" Enri says
"Why don't you ask him~" Lupus Regina says and points down the path behind Enri.
Enri turns around and sees Nfirea running right towards them. She can tell he is yelling something but can't make out what he is saying until he gets closer and she hears.
"Lupus Regina! Lupus Regina! I have something for Lord Ainz!" Nfirea yells as he is running towards them. He finally makes it to her and starts panting, completely out of breath. He holds up a purple potion in front of Lupus Regina and finally catches his breath enough to talk.
"This is a new potion we made! I think it will revolutionize the potion industry! Can you please give it to Lord Ainz and ask if I should make more?!" Nfirea says
"Sure Nfirea, I'm sure Lord Ainz will be pleased~ I'm actually here to tell Enri that I will be gone for a few days for Lord Ainz~ Someone will be watching the forest for you but pay attention anyway while I am gone~ Bye Bye Enri~" Lupus Regina says.
She gives Enri one of her smiles that makes her get confusing goosebumps on her skin. She doesn't know if it is turning her on because of how beautiful Lupus Regina is or if that smile is terrifying like she is going to eat her. After watching Lupus Regina battle with the other maids she had no doubt she could level this village if she felt like it. She then floats off into the sky.
"Nfirea, do you know about the villagers wanting to make me chief?" Enri says with a more forceful nature than she intended
"Y-Y-Yeah, I t-t-talked with the chief about i-i-it." he stutters out noticing how angry she seems at the idea.
"Don't tell me you think I should be chief too?!" she asks
"I do. I'm sure the chief explained the reasons to you." he replies
"I just don't think I can do it, I'm just a simple vil-"
"You are not a simple village girl Enri. Lady Taylar is right, you are special, very special." 'especially to me' he thinks but doesn't say "There is another reason, one I didn't want to say but I will. Please promise me you won't tell them I said this to you Enri." Nfirea says
"Who are you talking about Nfirea?" she asks him
"The goblins." he says
"OK, I won't say anything to them Nfirea." she responds
"They were talking about knocking you out and carrying you and Nemu to safety before Lord Ainz and everyone showed up." Enri gets a look of utter shock on her face from that statement "Don't hold it against them Enri. They are summons, their priority will always be your safety. If you become village chief, they will see the village as your property and defend it with their lives if need be." he tells her
"I suppose this is what Lupus Regina meant when she said Lady Taylar expected great things from me. Everyone is going to help me right Nfirea?" she says
"We will help you the best we can Enri." he says to her
"OK, I need to go tell the chief before I change my mind. Thank you Nfirea, you are always such a good friend." Enri says
"Anytime Enri." he replies
'Why can't I just tell her how I feel! I guess spending all my time locked inside isn't helping my cause here.' he thinks
Back with everyone in front of Nazarick...
"Well, Enri is going to be named village chief tonight in a ceremony. I know Lady Taylar wanted to know anything happening with her. Also, Nfirea has created a new potion from the ingredients you gave to him Lord Ainz." she holds up the purple potion for Ainz to take.
"I knew that girl would do something like that. I used Analyze on her when we were there. She has the same Commander class Aureole has along with Sergeant and General already. She only has one level in each but that is quite the combination for a farmer." Taylar says
"It looks like Nfirea made a brand new potion. One that isn't from Yggdrasil or from this New World. I'm going to have to see if he can make this potion using ingredients from this world only. You two seem to have taken an interest in different people since we came here. Taylar has Enri, Nemu, and Ninya. Albedo has the maids, maybe I should find someone in this world to mentor like you two have." Ainz says
"Oh? Did you have someone in mind? Nfirea perhaps? You do talk to him more than anyone else not from Nazarick." Taylar replies to him
"No, I've never really been into alchemy. While I might be an arcane caster like Nfirea, I don't think he would be interested in my brand of magic, and I could never see him wielding a weapon. I bet Enri is probably three times stronger than he is. I need to find someone unique like myself. Someone who isn't a pure caster or pure combatant, but likes to mix the two together." Ainz says
"I'm sure someone will catch your fancy. We still have much of this world to explore. We should have Enri, Nemu, and Nfirea over for dinner to celebrate. From what Lupus Regina has told me, Nfirea is still too terrified to tell Enri how he feels. Maybe I could give them a push in the right direction." Taylar says.
"That is fine with me but we all know you just want to spend time with Nemu." Ainz laughs at the end of that
"Oh? You think so huh?" Taylar says
"You spend all your free time with Aureole, Aura, Mare, Enri, and Nemu. We all know you like to be around children. I find it adorable myself." Ainz says as he watches Taylar blush from his statement
"I want a child!" Albedo blurts out. "I-I-I'm sorry. All that talk of children just let that slip out. I apologize." Albedo finishes and gives a slight bow
"It's alright Albedo." Taylar says. She elbows Ainz in the ribs when he doesn't say anything.
"Ouch... it isn't like we aren't trying." he replies. That earns him another elbow from Taylar
"What? You wanted me to say something."
"Don't say things like that in front of our citizens. They don't need to hear that." Taylar says
"Oh please, like they haven't heard you already. You two aren't exactly quiet in the bedroom." he replies with a smirk that causes Taylar and Albedo to blush profusely. He looks down to see a smirk on Lupus Regina's face as well. "See, even Lupus Regina knows what I'm talking about."
After a few more playful slaps from Taylar and some unnerving looks from Albedo, Ainz finally got everyone to change into their adventurer personas. He dismissed Lupus Regina and they headed off for E-Rantel. They used a Gate spell to get an hour from the city then walked beside the wagons the rest of the way to the gate.
As they made their way towards the gates of E-Rantel, the effect of bringing back all three intact bodies was giving Ainz exactly what he was hoping for. Every person they passed just stared in amazement at the bodies in the wagons. By the time the had made it to the gate for inspection, a crowd had gathered to see the adventurer team bring in their kills.
Apparently, word had even reached Guild Master Ainzach because he was standing in front of the Adventurer's Guild when they arrived to turn in their quest.
"Welcome back Forsaken. I am glad to see you completed your quests. We were worried for a minute there that you wouldn't return." Ainzach says
"You needn't worry about us Guild Master. These creatures wouldn't be enough to take us out." Ainz says
"Well, we bumped up the Cockatrice and Centipede to Orichalcum level since we lost a mithril adventurer group to each of those creatures. I should have known you would complete it. It just means a bigger reward for your team since we already increased it." Ainzach says
"We also came across some other creatures." Ainz holds up the two bags he has of ears from the small army that attacked Carne Village.
"Oh, I see you four were pretty busy these last few days. Come on inside so we can get your reward money. We can talk about your last couple of days and see where we go from there." Ainzach says to him
"Very well, lead the way Guild Master." Ainz says to him and all four of them follow him. They go into Ainzach's office this time instead of the receiving room as normal.
They all take a seat (except the ever vigilant guard of the rulers of Nazarick, Narberal) and Ainz begins explaining the details of there last few days hunting these monsters and the encounter outside of Carne Village. He obviously didn't mention the fact that the Pleiades were the ones who actually killed all three of these creatures. He had watched the Pleiades battle all of the creatures during his time with Taylar, Albedo, and Aureole. Aureole had used a scrying spell so they could all watch it happen so he just described what he saw while watching the Pleiades.
Much to Ainz' surprise, Ainzach already had new guild plates ready for them when the conversation had concluded. This revelation actually benefited Ainz greatly. He assumed it would take three days again but getting new guild plates now made it so his time table for his plans wasn't so tight. Now, they could leave immediately for the Baharuth Empire and Albedo could begin her plans for the Re-Estize capital. If all went according to plan, they should be requested to come help in the capital right after returning.
This pretty much cemented the belief Ainz had that not only did his magic and fighting power come to this world but also his luck stat. He tested it by pulling the same card out of a deck eight out of ten times, had a 93% rate on tails coming up while flipping a coin, but nothing was more telling than the things that were happening around his and Taylar's plans. Having Sebas randomly save Tsuare and now the guild master having their plates already ready so his time table wasn't so tight was just another layer of proof about his beliefs.
"It wasn't within my power to grant you Adamantite Rank when you were only copper plates, but after your recent success I can certainly give you these now." Ainzach pulls out that same wooden box their mithril plates were in and opens it for them.
"Can you really give us Adamantite Rank just like that? I thought it took time to make those plates?" Taylar asks
"After what you recently did it deserves that kind of promotion regardless. You are also correct it normally takes time for plates to be made but I had these made after your first promotion. I knew it wouldn't be long before I was giving these to you." Ainzach tells her
"Thank you, Guild Master." Ainz says
"Humble as always Momon. We should be thanking you four for everything you have done so far. A few things about being Adamantite Rank, first there aren't really jobs posted for your rank. Just about every quest you receive from here on out will be a direct request made straight through the guild. Also, you now have access to the inn's and tavern's of the Orichalcum and Adamantite rank adventurers at any guild branch in any country, just show them your plate and you will be allowed inside. You will also be given a discount at numerous shops. Are there any questions you have for me?" Ainzach asks them
"One question, I heard the Magician's Guild will buy the bodies we brought back. That is why we brought them here. Can the Adventurer's Guild facilitate the selling of the corpses to the Magician's Guild?" Ainz says
"Yes, we can handle that. So what is next for you four?" Ainzach asks them
"We are going to head to the Baharuth Empire. We heard they have a huge market that sells all kinds of magic items from simple ones to unique ones. I think we could use a little break. We won't be staying long though and should be back in about three days." Taylar says to him
"Good idea, a short vacation to rest the mind and body is always a good option. You can pick up your payment from the Magician's Guild when you return or you can wait around until tomorrow for it. I look forward to your return and hope you enjoy your shopping." Ainzach says
"We will pick it up when we return. Thank you for all your help Guild Master. We will see you when we return." Ainz says
Arwinter the next day...
Fluder Paradyne was returning from the basement of the Ministry of Magic and headed back towards his study. Ever since he learned that Ainz Ooal Gown could control Death Knights, he had spent all his time either searching for him or trying to perfect his own spell to control the Death Knight.
'I need to prove I am worthy to be his disciple if I ever do find him.' As Fluder is thinking to himself, one of his students approaches him.
"Master, there is an Adamantite adventurer team that is requesting an audience with you in the lobby." he says
"I don't remember having an appointment with an adventurer team today." Fluder says
"They do not have an appointment master but I believe you will want to talk to them." he says
"Oh? Why do you think that?" Fluder replies
"It is the adventurer party The Forsaken that the emperor asked you to look into master." he says to him
"I suppose I should talk to them then. I am curious as to how much potential two teens who can cast tier 4 magic possess. Show them to my office and tell them I will be right there." Fluder says to him
"Very well master." the man says. He gives a slight bow and heads off to escort The Forsaken to Fluders office.
Being over 250 years old certainly had its benefits, especially for a magic caster like Fluder. However, one of those benefits was not the ability to walk quickly. His frail body took quite a while to get from place to place. Of course, he could always use the fly spell to get around but he thought his body would become completely useless if he did such a thing. Using magic did have an impact on the body even if it is just minimal. He did not want to become so weak that he couldn't use his magic, that would have defeated the purpose of extending his life so much to learn the depths of magic.
After his ten minute walk to his office, that would have taken one of his disciples three, he finally arrived at the door to his office. He opened the door and entered, shutting it behind him. When he turned to the four people waiting on the couch for him, he used his talent to see what kind of potential these two casters would have. He was incredibly surprised when he didn't see a single speck of magic radiating from them. He must have given a face to his surprise because Momon, the only male member of the team, said something he didn't expect.
"It is not nice to try and look at someone's magic, Mr. Fluder." Ainz says. He gives a nod to Taylar and she stands up.
*DETECT SCRYING* *ANTI-INFORMATION WALL* *NONDETECTION* *FORBIDDANCE*
"What spells are those?!" Fluder asks excitedly. The first three spells were as powerful as he assumed Taylar could cast, but that last spell was tier 6 if his magical senses were working correctly.
"Divine spells you will never be able to learn. You wish to see Nabe's potential? Have another look Mr. Fluder." Ainz tells the magician.
He activates his talent and looks at Narberal. He doesn't notice anything at first then he sees her take off a ring. In an instant Fluder's vision is filled with a magical aura that far surpasses even his own. He can feel the tears starting to run down his wrinkled face.
'I don't care if she is younger then me. She can be my teacher until I find this Ainz Ooal Gown!' he thinks.
He turns to Momon and Taylar to beg them for Nabe to be his master. When he turns to them he sees them each take a ring off their fingers. The magical aura that enveloped his vision from them was so overwhelming he almost passed out. He fell to his knees and let the tears flow freely down his face. He crawled over to Ainz and Taylar sobbing the whole way. When he finally made it to them, he made his plea.
"Please, Please, Please, God and Goddess of Magic, let me be your disciple! I shall serve you for the rest of my life with unrelenting devotion." Fluder pleads to them
"I hear you have been looking for me Fluder Paradyne." Ainz says
As Fluder looks up at his new gods, he sees Ainz and Taylar spread out huge black and white angelic wings. He realizes this is Ainz Ooal Gown, the being he has been searching for since he heard about him controlling a Death Knight. Fluder now realizes controlling Death Knights is just the tip of what this being can accomplish with magic. Bella, who he called Taylar, has just as much if not a little more MP then Ainz does.
"Yes, Yes I have! I wish to gaze into the abyss of magic!" Fluder says
"What are you willing to pay to receive such a blessing?" Ainz asks
"I will give you anything master! I will sell you my soul if you require it!" Fluder responds fanatically
"There is much that is required for such knowledge, but the first thing I need is... sacrifices." Ainz tells the fanatical magician
An hour later at the Smiling Pegasus Inn...
"We definitely should be careful with what we tell that guy. Did you see the look in his eyes? I thought he was going to dry hump my leg!" Taylar says
"I agree. The ease with which he betrayed his entire country was astonishing. Although, if it is only magic he is after like we believe, it will be easy to keep him busy." Ainz says
"I suppose you are right about that but that is on you big guy. I'm not going near that creepy old man again if I don't have to." Taylar says to him
"What about you Albedo?" Ainz asks
"I am grateful I possess little MP for the first time I can remember. I probably would have kicked that insect through the wall if he crawled to me like he did Taylar." Albedo replies
"Narberal Gamma?" he asks
"I agree with Lady Albedo but I am sorry my magic is lacking and could not draw him away from you Lady Taylar." Narberal says and kneels
"It is alright Narberal. Your magic is more than sufficient and you are growing stronger every day. Besides, Ainz is going to handle this maniac right?" she says
"Yeah, you both have enough to deal with already. I can handle him. I know exactly what to do to keep him busy for a good while too." Ainz replies
"Perfect, me and Narberal are going to walk around and get a lay of the city. We will be back in about an hour and we can go to the market then." Taylar says
"Umm, why can't we come?" Ainz asks
"I want you to have that talk with Albedo before she leaves for the Re-Estize Kingdom." Taylar replies
"You don't want to come?" Ainz asks
"What talk?" Albedo asks
"No, I'll be fine here with Narberal." Taylar says
"At least let me summon Rubedo or Sebas to stay with you." Ainz says
"Still overprotective I see. I could decapitate Fluder with a backhand probably and he is the strongest magic caster in this country and I'm a healer. I doubt you have much to worry about." she says. She gives him a kiss and leaves the room with Narberal.
{Aureole, do you have a moment?}
{Yes father, what is it?}
{Can you keep an eye on your mother for me? She just left with Narberal, we are in the Baharuth Empire}
{I know dad. I can see mom right now}
{Didn't your mother tell you it is our job to worry about you! But thank you}
{No problem father!}
"Umm... so what talk Momonga?" Albedo says
"It would be better to talk in Nazarick." Ainz says
*SILENCE* *GATE*
Once he casts his spells he leads Albedo through the Gate so he can talk with Albedo before she leaves for the Kingdom.
A/N: I just want to clear some things up regarding the flashback conversation Enri had with Ainz and everyone... the way I'm doing it is Yggdrasil started out being maximum level 50... over the years they released expansions, updates, etc that introduced new tiers of magic and increases in level cap until it reached level 100 and super tier magic (just like an MMO nowadays like DDO or WoW)... the six gods were transported here during a patch that introduced tier 8 and 9 magic so they never learned it in Yggdrasil... of course Taylar is working off the assumption that they stayed that powerful and never had the ability to learn higher than tier 7 magic since her and Ainz can't gain XP... not that it really matters anymore since all the six gods are dead... not to mention two of the thirteen heroes were supposedly players also and none of them could cast higher than tier 5 magic... The book the Slaine Theocracy has that outlines magic up to "god level" is actually the beginner manual for Yggdrasil that explains all the planned updates for the game that every player received for making a character... Ainz and Taylar both have the same exact book in their inventories... It's just the Slaine Theocracy has no idea how to read Kanji and it is translated pretty terribly... hope you enjoyed this chapter... I started writing my Familiar of Zero fanfic The Discarded Hero again so I won't be updating this once a week like I was... I'm hoping for once every two weeks but I will update each of them at least once a month when I start publishing that one again... Aureole Omega and Rubedo's character sheets are below... thanks again for reading and see you next chapter!
