On the outskirts of Yah Lantier, near the edge of the forest.

Unlike the fortress city with the magical lighting of [Perpetual Light], there is only darkness on the outskirts of the city, and although it is not enough to say that you can't see your fingers, it is not an environment that is convenient for human activities.

In such a dark suburb, there is a place where the fire is blazing.

It was a camp.

One side is about 20 meters long, which is quite a wide camp.

There were horse-drawn carriages parked in the camp, as well as tents for resting, and wooden stakes were nailed around the tents, and between the stakes were strings with bells attached to each other, apparently to warn the people in the camp if there was a creature approaching.

A bonfire burned in the middle of the camp, surrounded by armed adventurers.

They ate simple food and chatted casually, occasionally looking to the corner of the camp to look at the men and women who were there.

A man and a woman, one in full-length black armor and the other in dark brown robes.

It's Ainz and Nabelal.

At this point, for some reason, Ainz stayed in a corner far away from the camp, pressing a finger to the position of his temple, as if closing his eyes to recuperate.

Nabelal looked at Ainz like this, and stayed quietly aside, not saying a word.

After some time had passed like this, Ainz suddenly lowered his hand and spoke.

"The eight-limbed knife assassination insect sent to monitor is dead."

Ainz calmly uttered such a sentence in a voice that did not fluctuate at all.

"Are they all dead?" Nabelal frowned, lowered her voice, and said, "That person did it?" ”

"That's right." Ainz was sure, "Until I was dying, the Eight-Limb Knife Assassination Insect did not disconnect from the [message], and I could hear their voices and know that they were fighting that person." ”

Nabelardon didn't know what to say.

Because, that means one thing.

"Rieg Brihaut, this man is really not an ordinary person."

Ainz calmly came to such a conclusion.

"According to our understanding, even if it is a servant like the eight-limbed knife assassination insect, it will be difficult for ordinary people to deal with them."

"At least, in this country, there is no one who can deal with the eight-limbed knife assassination insect on the surface."

"That man can easily defeat them, this kind of strength is really not like the indigenous people we know."

Ainz confirmed this fact through the death of the eight-limbed knife assassination insect.

Unbeknownst to Rige, they made the final contact with Ainz when the Eight-Limb Knife Assassination was exposed and they were ready to retreat.

This is also Ainz's arrangement, once he finds out that something is wrong, he immediately uses the one-time prop he gave to the eight-limbed knife in advance to assassinate insects and report the situation to Ainz.

Therefore, Anz learned about this almost as soon as the Octopod Assassination Insect was exposed, and after calmly thinking about it, he gave an instruction to the Octopod Assassination Bugs.

That is, to take advantage of the situation to fight with Li Ge and find out his strength.

Because of this instruction, the eight-limbed knife assassination insect will suddenly stop fleeing, but kill back towards Lige.

As a result, they died heroically, and Ainz learned a part of Rige's strength.

Nabelal, who knew of Ainz's arrangement, asked in a wary voice.

"So, is that bug a player?"

According to their understanding of this world, there should be no second possibility for humans who can deal with four level 49 eight-limbed knife assassination insects in such a short period of time, except for being players.

At least, that's what Ainz thinks.

The question is......

"If Rigg Brihaut is a player, what position is he acting in now?"

As if talking to himself, Ainz whispered.

"He came to the door not long after we first appeared in this world, was that act premeditated?"

"If it was premeditated, then why did he come alone? And why do you know so much about this world before we do? ”

"Or did he come into the world before we did?"

"If he had come into this world before us, how would he have known that Nasalik would be there?"

The suspicions have not decreased, but have increased.

Ainz really couldn't understand the meaning of Rige's previous behavior.

After he met with him, he never mentioned the matter of "yggdrasil" from beginning to end, but instead told himself the information about this world, and in exchange for some information about magic that had no value in "yggdrasil".

Does that act make sense in itself?

What was his reason for doing that?

Ainz felt that he was about to die of these questions.

Moreover, if Li Ge is a player of "yggdrasil", why is there no trace of "yggdrasil" on his body?

"He had almost no equipment on him, and when we first met, he only wore a pendant, which didn't seem to be a prop for "yggdrasil."

"The second time I met in Yah Lantieri, he had an extra ring on his hand and an extra knife on his waist, but I have never seen a ring or a knife in 'Yggdrasil'."

"Also, the name Rieg Brihaut, I've never heard of a player's character name."

"Could it be that he, like me, changed his name for some purpose?"

"Really...... There are so many things that I don't understand. ”

Ainz rubbed his non-existent brow through his helmet, and felt a stomachache and headache that should not have existed as well.

He cared so much about that man that he always felt that he had a lot of secrets on him, and that he was also closely related to Nazarik.

If these secrets are not unraveled, Ainz is not sure whether Nasalik will be threatened.

"No, there's still too little information." Ainz thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to find an opportunity to take the initiative to approach him." ”

Hearing this, Nabelal immediately suggested.

"Do you want the Guardians to be dispatched?"

This proposal was rejected by Ainz without even thinking about it.

"No, the Guardian is Nazarik's strongest garrison, and he should not be allowed to contact the Guardian until it is confirmed that Riger Brihaut will be unfavorable to Nazarik, so as not to cause any accidents." Ainz said in a deep voice: "It's better not to conflict with him for the time being, it's best if you can maintain friendly relations with him, and wait until you have gathered enough information to confirm his purpose, and then it's not too late to decide what to do with him." ”

"Yes." Nabelal was very unwilling and said: "What about the murdered eight-limbed knife assassination insects?" ”

Hearing this, the eyes that didn't exist under Ainz's helmet also began to flicker.

As the base camp of the game guild "Ainz your Gong", the underground tomb of Nasalik is composed of NPCs except for the forty-one Supreme Supremes.

Today, Nazarikri, with the exception of Ainz, is not a player, but only a servant who has been given life.

But there is also a distinction between servants.

As mentioned before, the game called "Yggdrasil" has a fairly high degree of freedom, not only in terms of classes, magic, races, and various armaments, but also in other places.

For example, when a player's guild has a higher-tier base than the castle, players in that guild will receive several special benefits.

One of them is an NPC that can have a protected base.

There are two types of NPCs.

One is that even if it is destroyed, it will automatically respawn after a period of time, and there is no need to pay any price, that is, NPCs that can be automatically refreshed.

One is a completely original NPC designed by the player himself and built from scratch.

Compared to the former, the latter can not only be designed to be of a higher level, but also can be equipped with weapons and items by the player, as long as there is a good intention, the NPC created by the player himself is bound to be stronger than the auto-refresh NPC, and it is much stronger.

This is how the NPCs of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik came to life, and came to life with Ainz in this world.

Of course, the NPCs designed and created by the hands of the forty-one Supreme Supremes are far from being comparable to the NPCs that refresh auto-refresh in terms of status and preciousness.

NPCs such as Jarbede, Dimiugos, and Nabelar are all NPCs of this type, designed by the members of "Ainz your Gong", and in Ainz's view, they are the brainchild of their former companions, the crystallization of their companions, and the children of their companions.

Compared to this, the NPCs that automatically spawn in the Great Underground Crypt of Nasalik are nothing more than a group of inconsequential minions, far inferior to the NPCs created by their companions.

The eight-limbed knife assassination insect is a servant, not an NPC like a guardian, so even if he dies, Ainz will not be angry.

But......

"Even if it's just a servant, it's a servant of Nassalik, and it's not something that can be destroyed casually."

The eye sockets under Ainz's helmet shimmered with an emotional red glow.

"If you have the chance, you can recover this debt from him."

Hearing this, Nabelal had no more objections.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to everyone."

Ainz stood up.

"Don't forget, we're the adventurer Feifei and his companion Nabe, and we need to do the job we have been given."

"Yes, ...... Ainz

"Huh?"

"Ah, no, Mr. Feifei."

"Good."

With that, the two returned to the campfire together and joined the camp of those adventurers.

…………

At the same time, in a vast area of the outer walls of Yah Lantil.

There is a very large cemetery here.

Yar Lantil is a fortress city, the front line of the battlefield between the kingdom and the empire and the church, and the closest city to the two neighboring countries.

As a fortress so close to the battlefield, there is a need for a cemetery large enough to house the dead, so that the dead do not become immortal.

This cemetery is where Yah Lantil used to house a large number of the dead, and there is a temple-like spiritual temple in the middle, which looks gloomy at night.

Not long after the fierce battle that had taken place in Yah Lantil, which had shocked many people, someone appeared here.

"Oh, that's terrible."

A female voice like a carnivorous beast sounded, revealing a bit of hideousness.
