"Lord Ainz."

With a gentle woman's voice, many greetings to welcome Ainz also rang out one after another.

Standing at the forefront, the woman in a pure white dress is none other than Yarbede, the chief keeper of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik.

The four maids who accompanied them were battle maids, and behind them stood a group of eighty-level servants.

"Albede, about the incident mentioned in the message......"

Did Shatia really betray?

He wanted to ask but was afraid, he was afraid that if he did ask, perhaps Shatia's betrayal would become a fact, and that it would be too dangerous to talk about it in front of the servants.

"Yes, so are you going to talk somewhere else?"

"That's right...... You should go to the throne room, right? ”

Since he couldn't teleport directly to the Hall of the Throne, he activated the power of the ring to teleport to the previous room of the Hall of the Throne.

Opening the heavy door, Ainz headed for the throne, accompanied by Jarbede.

"I want to ask a few questions first, you said that Shatia betrayed, so how did Sebas, who was also in the same place, react when she betrayed? Didn't he betray with him? ”

"Yes, he shows no signs of betrayal."

"So, did you ask Sebas for any information?"

"Yes, according to Sebas, they met the robbers, and Shatia went to each other's lair in order to catch the robbers, and nothing suspicious happened during this time, and they kept saying that they would be loyal to Lord Ainz."

"I see, that is, what happened after that made her rebellious."

Ainz touched his chin as if there was a non-existent beard there.

"Yes...... In addition, she seems to have brought two vampire brides with her, but it seems that they have been eliminated, and judging from the scene, Shatia should have fought with someone before betraying. ”

Near the staircase leading to the throne, the story was almost finished.

Ainz looked at the throne and whispered the code words that activated the system.

Turn on the mains power.

A somewhat console-like but distinctly translucent window opens in front of you, divided into several pages by labels, filled with dense text.

This is the management system inside the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik.

It contains a list of the cost of managing the day, including the types and numbers of current thalas, and the various magic-type traps that are being activated, and is designed to be roughly managed from here. IN YGGDRASIL'S TIME, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO WATCH IT ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE, BUT AINZ KNEW THROUGH EXPERIMENTS THAT THIS SYSTEM COULD ONLY OPERATE IN THE THRONE ROOM IN THE HEART OF THE WORLD.

Ainz directly opened the NPC tab page inside.

It contains a list of NPC names created with the guild members, and Ainz browses the list from top to bottom - his gaze lingers in one place, and then silently moves his gaze to Albede's face.

"It seems to be true."

Of the list of names displayed in white text, only Shatia Bradflen's name turned black.

Ainz knew what this change of writing meant, and he watched it two or three times before he knew for sure.

Although Albede said that it was a betrayal, it was actually a little different from the meaning of the system, and indeed, it may be similar to betrayal in a broad sense.

Shatiya and Ainz. They are all undead, which means that she is also the kind of race that will neutralize any mental effect, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, and it is basically impossible for her to be controlled by minds.

Therefore, the possibility of being controlled can be ruled out, but because you are in a completely unfamiliar world, it may also be a situation such as being restricted.

“…… Could it be the special influence caused by the unique sounds and phenomena of this world? Or is it that the freedom is restricted by the enemy? ”

"I don't know. However, Shatia's betrayal was an indisputable fact, and it was suggested that a crusade should be formed immediately. ”

"I would like to nominate myself as the commander of the team, and if Lord Ainz allows it, I would like to appoint Cosetes as the deputy commander, and I also intend to select Mare to join the team. ”

Shatia Bradflen is very strong, and if you compare it purely to the Guardians, she is the strongest one other than Gao Kangda, so if you want to be absolutely sure that you can defeat her, you have to send those members selected by Albed to deal with her, otherwise the process will be quite difficult.

"No, let's make sure what Shatia betrayed for."

If this could happen to someone other than Shatia, then a solution would have to be found, and if they were unhappy with the treatment, other minions and NPCs could have the same problem.

If you are forcibly controlled by abilities such as innate abilities, or if you are blocked by enemies, you must also find a way to deal with it.

Assuming that Shatia was captured, he, as the guild leader, would have to get her back.

"Where is Shatia now, do you know her whereabouts?"

"I'm very sorry, but I haven't confirmed it yet."

"Yes, in that case, let's try to find out about Shatia's whereabouts first, and go to your sister."

For the first time since entering this world, Ainz felt a serious threat, and he instinctively felt that it was likely to be related to the green-robed woman.

…… Maybe she's a time-traveler like herself?

"By the way, did the finger I brought back last time come up with any useful information?"

"Not yet, my finger is on Dimiugos, I don't think there's been much progress."

Albede bowed and said.

"Dimiugos, ......"

Ainz still trusts him, and his ability to work is second to none in Nazarik.

While thinking about it, she and Albede went to the room where Nigred was, Nigured is a magic trod, and she is also the highest-ranking high-level NPC in Nasalik, although she can't be seen from the outside, but her class structure is a type of investigation department dedicated to gathering intelligence, so Ainz came here to ask her to help find Shatia.

"It's ............ Shatia?! ”

What appears on the screen is a giant sphere floating in the air? Meteorite?

Other than that, she didn't see Shatiya herself.

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Nigored was also a little confused.

"Could it be that Shatia has turned into a meteorite?"

Ainz stared incredulously at the magic screen, but soon he realized that something was wrong, two men and a woman sat on the top of the meteorite.

Seeing these three people, he immediately understood.

"Shatia didn't turn to stone, she's probably sealed in a meteorite, that's why Nigored's magic will locate this meteorite."

Ainz was a little furious.

They have to pay the price!!
