The two of them walked down the street with the four of them with the Black Sword, and there was a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going, and occasionally some eyes only swept to Ainz, because this adventurer in black armor was really eye-catching.

"Hey, let's go, let's go!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and a rough voice reached their ears with arrogance.

"Well...... Aristocrat? Ainz asked, confused.

I saw a few people in gorgeous robes walking in the distance, two horses pulling the carriage and walking slowly behind them, the carriage was very high-end, as if there was something important inside, and several guards next to them had serious expressions and very serious eyes.

Pedestrians consciously avoided the group and stood on either side to let the carriage pass first.

"Well, I heard that it's the power of the newly arrived city lord." Nina nodded in response to Ainz's question, pulling him to stand on the side of the road.

The nobles hurried past them with their carriages, like a drop of water splashing like a pond, and immediately the street resumed its clamor again.

"What does it look like...... Lab Chett's, right? Pol Bu thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, it's much bigger than the previous city lord's faction, and it should be a very powerful family!" ”

"I'm really envious, these people with the backing of big families." Peter said. He smiled: "Adventurers like us, who have to go out to fight all kinds of monsters for just a few dozen copper coins, and encounter various difficulties and dangers from time to time, are really trying to keep their all alive." ”

"Yes, yes, the nobleman is hundreds of gold coins when he reaches out, and we can't even repair the equipment!" Pol Bu said indignantly: "Also, now that the bounty of the mission is getting less and less, and the difficulty is becoming more and more dangerous day by day, I really don't know what those people in the Adventurers Association think!" ”

“……”

Looking at them, Ainz suddenly remembered his time in the real world.

Figures appeared in front of him.

"Social animals...... That's it. ”

Although complaining about social injustice, in order to survive, he has to drag his tired and scarred body to continue to work, doing the task of a cog over and over again, turning himself into a machine, and consuming his remaining time.

Forget it, don't think about it, may the career of Helo and Lausanne be successful...... I don't know if such a blessing is appropriate.

Looking up at the clear blue sky, a few wisps of white clouds turned into white lines, floating quietly on them, all so real.

"Well...... I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but this world is really beautiful......"

Ainz sighed in his heart, "I didn't expect this kind of novel-like plot development to really be my turn." ”

"Mr. Momo, what are you talking about?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. ”

"We're here, so let's stop here today, we'll see you tomorrow morning at the Adventurers' Guild."

"Okay." Ainz symbolically shook Peter's hand again, and the latter, as if happy, walked away with his companion and laughing.

“…… Mr. Momo. ”

"Well, let's go back too." Ainz turned, "A little envious...... he thought.

"Yes, Mr. Momo."

【Forest of Elves: Floating City】

"The Main City: Between the Gods"

Ash leaned back on the bed, looking intently at a thick book.

Ash's room was far less ornate than the other gods, with only a bed, a desk next to the bed, and a wardrobe, and the décor was sky blue and white.

The door of the room was facing a window, and on the windowsill were potted plants, quietly receiving the little sunlight left. The sun had set in the west, and it was getting dark.

The setting sun reflected the pale red light and stretched the shadows of the plants on the potted plants, projecting them on the walls, which were somewhat inexplicably hideous.

It would be completely dark in a few minutes, but Ash didn't seem to notice it at all.

"Smack-"

With a crisp sound, the last bit of blush faded into the room, and night came.

Ash snapped the heavy book shut, stretched a little stiffly, and lay down on the bed.

With a little sleepiness in his eyes, he looked at the ceiling, and then he closed his eyes again.

"Was there ever the Most High Twelve? What the hell is this......"

Ash muttered and fell asleep.
