The day after the farce, Hiiragi also reached an agreement with Anz that was not considered an agreement.

That is, the matter of visiting the bottom of the Nasaric tomb has been postponed a little, and the focus is now on finding the murderer.

Of course, Hiiragi also knows where the person Anz is looking for is now, but Hiiragi has no plans to tell him at all, and it is more in line with the plot to let him find it himself.

Thanks to this, Ainz and his troops retreated, leaving only Nabe, who stayed by his side as before.

It's just that Hiiragi is also a little uneasy that even Shatia, who will obey Aintz's orders and is the guardian of the class, and Jarbede, who can be regarded as Ainz's secretary, both of them have quite obvious hostility and killing intent towards Hiiragi.

When these two people left, they deliberately walked past Hiiragi, and the ominous aura emanating from their bodies made Hiiragi feel very troublesome.

Ainz orders them not to see Hiiragi as an enemy, but it cannot be ruled out that these guys will take all sorts of actions in the shadows.

Shatia understands some of Hiiragi's abilities and understands the danger of Hiiragi, so in order to protect the safety of her lord, it is very likely that some more extreme measures will be used.

As Ainz's assistant, Albede is even more serious, and it is her responsibility to eliminate Ainz's enemies and potential hidden dangers.

In other words, while the relationship with Anz has become slightly better, the relationship with other NPCs such as Guardians has become worse and worse.

As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and Hiiragi doesn't plan to force anything, anyway, the water and the earth cover the soldiers to block.

That's it, Hiiragi is now acting with Nagi. Help Ainz find the enemy who killed the members of the Black Sword.

Enemy. In fact, it is Clementine and Necromancer who have stepped into the hero level. They were now in a hidden base outside of Lantil.

Speaking of which, they are obviously the highest level and have a lot of props, so why can't you find those two people directly through props?

I guess it's because there are a lot of magicians in this world, and I guess I can't find them precisely by magic positioning and the like.

Anyway, these are all settings, as long as you follow the plot slowly.

"The other party will definitely regard us as a hidden danger, after all, Xiao Ye at that time could suppress the class guardians who did not use all their strength, even if this is the case. It's enough to make them wary of us. ”

"It's not suppression, it can be said to be a tie...... Of course, if Shatiya was serious, even if I won, I wouldn't be able to protect you at that time. ”

"It seems that I have really become a burden to Xiaoya. Because the perfect plan is really too small in front of the strong, there is a feeling of using the mantis arm as a car~ So since the other party wants us to provide information to them, it is better to sell favors and tell them the identity of the perpetrator. ”

"Aren't you afraid of affecting the plot? Our presence has made a certain change in the plot, and if you want to achieve the mission, I think it's a good choice to follow the plot slowly. ”

The traverser is not blindly changing the plot. Walking at your own pace, sometimes you have to change your plan. Follow the direction of the plot to start the action.

What if the actions of the two of them caused Clementine and the necromancer to escape? What if I kill the kidnapped Enfirea?

Even if Ainz has a resurrection staff, it can be said that this has caused a change in the plot and affected the future plot, which is equivalent to making Hiiragi lose control of the future.

Faced with this world, Hiiragi's idea is to control the plot and take all the changes into his own hands.

As the protagonist of this world, Ainz has the highest level and the strongest items, and he is undoubtedly a formidable enemy.

What kind of method should be used to make him trust himself without changing the plot?

"In the end, our existence is already to change the plot."

"That's why I said that I should control the fluctuations of the plot within an acceptable range by my own means."

Grasp the direction of the plot, analyze the next development, and then take action, this is Hiiragi's current thinking.

However, unfortunately, Anz did not trust Hiiragi and did not plan to let Hiiragi go to Nassarik's Great Grave.

If you force a break-in, it will definitely be quite troublesome and tricky, and the chances of success are not very large.

Unless Hiiragi also gathered many masters and let them break into the Great Tomb of Nassarik together, Hiiragi also took the opportunity to run to the bottom to complete the mission.

If it weren't for such coercion, he would have to slowly establish a good relationship with Ainz and let him invite him to come over as a 'guest'.

"The next plot is Anz and Nabe VS Clementine and the necromancer, how are you going to get involved?"

"It's very simple, just team up with him directly, and if he doesn't want to, it's compulsory. Ainz was aiming to increase his reputation and save Enfirea through that battle, so he wouldn't use force to stop us, because that would seem to outsiders to be 'attacking fellow adventurers', and that would not change his prestige and reputation, right? To put it bluntly, he can't refuse someone who wants to fight with him, even though we are probably ......the only ones who want to fight with him."

"I see, Xiao has gradually changed."

"It can't be denied that it's impossible to survive in this world all the time like that."

"So Xiao Ye rushed into the base camp of the criminals at that time, so he was so happy? An expression that wants to gouge out other people's hands, feet, eyes, and ears. ”

At that time, I was so terrifying......

Hiiragi doesn't have a very clear memory of that time, and the only thing that is clear is the slashing feeling of the katana he is holding.

The blade slices off the limbs of enemies, tears through their skin, and devours their flesh and blood.

The space filled with the smell of blood made the nerves tense, but each swing of the knife made the spirit suddenly relax.

That's a bad habit.

Hiiragi is also accustomed to misfortune and pain, and begins to inflict such feelings on others.

Subconsciously, they think that their behavior is acceptable to them.

Because it's an enemy, it's okay to torture as much as you want, right?

Rip off their nails, destroy their eyes, and pierce their internal organs. Imprint the pain deeply on them.

"So what do you do now? Waiting for the plot to unfold? ”

"Let's do some tasks together while we have time. After all, the money is almost at the bottom. Originally, the last mission had a good income. As a result, Nabe's raid nullified the mission. ”

"Then let's go on some fun missions! The RPG world isn't all about combat! ”

Does it mean to break free from the shackles of the tense plot for the time being?

Hiiragi and Nagi walked slowly down the streets of Lantil.

It was surrounded by ordinary pedestrians and some adventurers, most of whom were in a hurry, as if they wanted to stay on the street.

The reason is also very simple, that is, there have been two things that have caused panic in Lantil recently.

The appearance of one of them, 'The Demon of Lantil', makes people worry that it is an indiscriminate murderer;

The second is the total destruction of the members of the [Dark Sword], which makes the adventurer afraid that he is the next target.

Of course, this is all based on the fact that they don't know the truth, otherwise they would not be so panicked.

Follow Nagi to the door of a weapon shop. An uncle was about to close the store, apparently the manager of this weapons shop.

"Excuse me, we're here to take over the task."

"Isn't it from the union?"

Shaking her head, Xiao Nai turned around and said solemnly

"Most of the union's missions are combat-type missions, but here are the special missions."

"Ahh

The manager interrupted the conversation between the two and clasped his hands over his chest.

"Listen to the little girl and the young man over there, I can give you the key, but I need the skulls of the three wolves in exchange."

Then Xiao Nagi explained for Hiiragi as well.

The owner of the weapons shop had built steel gates and high-quality gold locks for the nobles of the area, so the nobles gave him the key to the tallest tower in Lantier.

The tallest tower is the one that overlooks the whole of Lantil and the forests and mountains beyond. You can see the beautiful scenery.

As long as you give him what the store manager needs, you can borrow the key temporarily. Make your way to the tallest tower.

Is it a scenery from another world......

Hiiragi also began to draw the corresponding images in his mind, and all that came to mind was mountains, dense forests, and stone blocks full of pedestrians.

For the scenery of another world, Hiiragi has never cared about it.

This is also a normal thing, right? After all, no time-traveler will truly enjoy the fun of another world.

Because the traverser has been plagued by tasks and troubles, there is simply no such free time.

But Xiao Nai is different, even though she has encountered a lot of troubles and many thorny problems, she still comes at her own pace.

She may not be a traveler, a traveler.

The quest is just an incidental, and Nagi's real purpose is to enjoy the fun of traversing.

Hiiragi knew a long time ago that Nagi was a special being who was different, even in the face of the threat of death, she still stuck to her own path.

This is not recklessness, but courage.

The change in the environment has not changed people, but has given more attention to things outside the task.

Should it be said that it is something that cannot be seen by ordinary people?

That's it, Nagi is able to see things that ordinary people can't see, even if the actions taken are a bit nonsense.

What exactly is the traverser constantly striving for and tackling missions?

A moment of joy? Ephemeral bliss? There are other factors.

Hiiragi also hated Nagi for a moment, and he couldn't completely hate this guy who occasionally went his own way.

Xiao Nagi is a good person by nature, but even if she does, she will never give up everything for the sake of one person.

No, no, Hiiragi and Nagi are both in the same boat, so they both value each other.

Thinking about it like this, Hiiragi couldn't help but smile bitterly, the relationship between the two people always feels that it looks very tight, but it's actually very weak, right?

After all, Hiiragi is also looking for meaning and wants to accomplish;

But Nagi accommodates this interest and ignores the task.

But even so, the two are definitely not in parallel lines, but two lines with intersections.

Besides, even parallel lines, such as the sky and the earth, will merge at some point...... Even if it's just a visual illusion.

So the two men came to the mission location.

The mission site is a bush area, and judging from the map, there is also a small swampy area, which is very dangerous for the average adventurer.

"After passing through this bush, the three wolves lurked in the cave where they first saw."

"Then let's do it quickly, anyway, there are no more than ten monsters in this area, and one finger of mine is enough."

"If you say that, you don't have any fun at all."

"I'm not the hero of a novel where I'm a full-level crossing and slinging novice.,Of course, if you can solve it quickly, of course, you have to solve it quickly.,It's not good to waste time here all the time.。

Hiiragi also pushed away the head of Nagi who came over to complain with his hand, and then walked towards the front alone.

Unlike those protagonists, Hiiragi has no intention of pretending to be forced at all.

Anyway, it's impossible to lose to the three wolves here.

It's just that the feeling of a full-level hanging novice must be very good, right......

Shaking his head and throwing such thoughts out of his head, Hiiragi also let Nagi wait outside, entering the cave that he saw first after passing through the bushes.

"Koya, do you want a BUFF?"

"Your buff isn't as good as my normal attack......"

"Hmmm......! Not happy! ”

That's what it is.

Hiiragi's thoughts are interrupted, and it's a monster lurking in the shadows of the cave.

Footsteps rang out frequently, from one, two, three, and finally to more than a dozen.

The three wolves are as described, with three heads, and they look terrifying.

In order to adapt to the environment, their fur is dark green or light green, so that they can move freely in the area and are not easy to spot.

Of course, the color of their own hair is very different from the grayish-purple surface of the cave, so it is easy to catch them.

Thirteen in number, they lurk in the darkness, ready to move.

Hiiragi is also not very clear about the monster spawn mechanic of [YGGDRASIL], which may have been created by nature or bred by the monster itself.

So if you kill them all, it's a bit wrong, right?

All the shopkeeper needed was the skulls of three wolves, and he could hunt a few at will.

Thinking of this, a wolf pounced on Hiiragi.

The three heads showed sharp, foul-smelling teeth, and bit Hiiragi's neck and shoulders from the front.

"The first one."

Hiiragi also reached out with his right hand and grabbed the abdomen of the three wolves directly, crushing all the hearts and organs together.

The three heads of the three wolves spat out saliva and blood together, and their bodies trembled and fell to the ground.

"The second one, then."

Charging head-on, the three wolves, who were not aware of the danger, were kicked in the head.

Immediately afterward, Hiiragi also stabbed out with one hand and pulled, taking out its heart.

His hands were stained with the smell of blood, and Hiiragi was thinking about where to wash his hands, when all three wolves around him let out a whimper and fled the scene.

Even if it's a man-eating monster, there is a ** to survive. (To be continued.) )
