The One Who Came Back

Interlude 3

"You didn't bring the coin!", exclaimed Demiurge with obvious disdain.

Upon arriving in Nazarick, Sebas soon went to personally present his report to the Supreme Being. Coincidentally, they were all returning at the same time, so Ainz wanted as many Guardians to be present at that time, and despite not having yet requested the reports, Demiurge stepped forward to question Sebas.

"No, I didn't bring the coin", replied the stern butler.

"Why!?"

"Because there was no need. It was willingly given to the guards and they weren't willing to part with it even when I offered a certain amount of gold".

"You could have offered more!"

"That would just unnecessarily draw attention to us."

"You could have taken it or had a hanzo get it later!"

"And drag the name of the Great Tomb of Nazarick through the mud? I will not debase us to mere thieves."

"Hunf", snorted the archdemon, "I still wish I had the coin to examine it."

"I'm sorry, Lord Demiurge. If it helps, I made a drawing with the help of Lady Shalltear, at Lord Sebas' request", intervened Tuareninya.

The archdemon raised an eyebrow as he took the paper.

"Umm… passable", murmured Demiurge.

A ghost of a smile appeared on Sebas' stoic face.

"Demiurge, bring it to me", said Ainz, doing the supreme being pose he had already practiced.

"Actually, from the engravings, it's a Yggdrasil coin."

"I'm sorry my lord, but I've never heard of a copper coin from Yggdrasil", confessed Demiurge.

"Oh, really? 'Pandora's Actor, could you bring some samples of the coins that are in the treasures?'" Ainz sent the message to the guardian.

"Ja, mein Vater, gerade jetzt", replied Pandora's Actor as Ainz was grateful that no one could hear the message.

A few moments later, Pandora's Actor arrived in the throne room.

"Heil Lord Ainz Ooal Gown! Ich bin hier, um dir zu dienen".

"DAMN IT!", internally shouted Ainz.

"Welcome, Pandora's Actor. Show everyone the coins and please stick to the point."

"JA! As everyone can see here, I have Yggdrasil coins. Apart from commemorative and collectible editions, the system consisted of four classes of coins: copper, silver, gold and platinum. Such coins were collected during quests and, as they became more difficult, the greater their rewards, in the same way that adventuring parties are paid".

"But unlike the value of coins in circulation in the New World, Yggdrasil coins were graded only on their intrinsic value and not on their aggregate metal value."

"So a silver coin was worth a hundred copper coins and a gold one hundred silver coins. Logically, it took a hundred gold coins to get one platinum coin. So when you needed to make a big transaction, you could use less coins".

"In that case, there would be no need for such a large vault or a mountain of gold like the one used to resurrect me", added Shalltear interestedly.

"No, there really wouldn't be. But there's still great symbolic value to having a mountain of gold coins, they are much more meaningful than a handful of platinum coins, even if it's not just a handful when it comes to the living room. treasure."

"After all, there's a certain poetry to saying you're worth a mountain of gold, isn't there?", said Ainz more to himself than to the guardians, but they all heard it and found themselves filled with pride at their master's words.

"Ahan! Thank you, Pandora's Actor, let's wait for the Pleiades to arrive to start the meeting".

"Ich danke dir für die Gelegenheit, mein Vate…"

"NO GERMAN!", screamed Ainz.

...

Yes, my father, immediately.

Hail Lord Ainz Ooal Gown! I'm here to serve you.

Thank you for the opportunity, my father...
