Chapter 319 The Alarmed People

On the outskirts of E-Rantel, near the edge of the forest.

Unlike the fortress city with the magical lighting of [Perpetual Light], there is only darkness in the outskirts of the city. Although it is not 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 with fire.

It was a campground.

It was about twenty meters long on a side, which was quite a spacious camp.

There are horse-drawn carriages parked in the camp, as well as tents for resting. There are wooden stakes nailed around the tents, and there are strings with bells hanging between the wooden stakes connected to each other. They are obviously used to warn people in the camp. Is there a design for creatures approaching?

The bonfire that was the source of the fire was burning in the middle of the camp, and there were armed adventurers surrounding the bonfire.

While eating simple food, they chatted casually. From time to time, they would cast their eyes to the corner of the camp and look at the man and woman staying there.

There was a man and a woman, one wearing full-body pitch black armor and the other wearing a dark brown robe.

It was Ainz and Narberal.

At this time, Ainz was staying in a corner far away from the camp for some reason, pressing a finger on his temple, as if he was closing his eyes to rest.

Narberal looked at Ainz like this and stayed quietly aside without saying a word.

After a period of time passed like this, Ainz suddenly put down his hand and said something.

"The eight-limbed sword assassins sent to monitor are all dead."

Ainz said this calmly, with a voice that showed no emotion at all.

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

"That's right." Ainz said with certainty: "The Eight-limbed Blade Assassin Bugs did not disconnect the [message] until they were about to die. I could hear their voices and knew that they were fighting that person. "

Narbera suddenly didn't know what to say.

Because, it means one thing.

"Li Ge Brighaut, this man is indeed no ordinary person."

Ainz came to this conclusion calmly.

"According to our understanding, even if they are servants like the Eight-limbed Sword Assassin Insect, it would be difficult for ordinary people to deal with them."

"At least, in this country, no one can deal with the eight-limbed sword assassination bug."

"That man was able to defeat them easily. Such strength is really unlike the natives we know."

Ainz confirmed this fact through the death of the eight-limbed sword assassin.

Li Ge didn't know that when the Eight-limbed Blade Assassin Insects were exposed and prepared to retreat, they made their final contact with Ainz.

This was also Ainz's arrangement. Once he discovered something was wrong, he would immediately use the disposable prop he had given to the Eight-limbed Sword Assassin Bug in advance to report the situation to Ainz.

Therefore, Ainz learned about the incident almost as soon as the Eight-limbed Saber assassins were exposed, and after thinking calmly, he gave an instruction to the Eight-limbed Saber assassins.

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

Because of this instruction, the Eight-limbed Sword Assassin Insect suddenly stopped fleeing and instead headed back towards Li Ge to kill him.

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

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

"So, is that bug a player?"

According to their understanding of the world, there should be no other possibility for humans to be able to eliminate four level 49 eight-limbed assassin bugs in such a short period of time, except for being players.

At least, that's what Ainz thinks.

The issue is……

"If Greg Brighaut is a player, then what position is he acting now?"

Ainz whispered as if talking to himself.

"He came to our door not long after we appeared in this world. Was that behavior premeditated?"

"If there was a premeditation, then why did he come here alone? And why did he know so much information about this world before us?"

"Or is it that he came to this world earlier than us?"

"If he came to this world earlier than us, how would he know that Nazarick would appear there?"

Not only did the doubts not decrease, but they increased.

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

After he met him, he never mentioned "YGGDRASIL" from beginning to end. Instead, he told himself the information about this world. In exchange, he took away some information about magic that had no value in "YGGDRASIL". .

Is that action meaningful in itself?

What considerations did he have to do that at that time?

Ainz felt that he was going to die from these questions.

Moreover, if Li Ge is a player of "YGGDRASIL", why don't he have any traces of "YGGDRASIL" on his body?

"He had almost no equipment on him. When we first met, he only wore a pendant. That pendant didn't seem to be a prop of "YGGDRASIL". "

“The second time we met in Y. Rantil, he had an extra ring on his hand and a knife on his waist. But neither the ring nor the knife had been seen in “YGGDRASIL”. "

"Also, I have never heard of the name Lige Brighaut, which player's character name it is."

"Did he, like me, change his name for a certain purpose?"

"There are really...too many things that I don't understand."

Ainz rubbed his eyebrows that no longer existed through his helmet, and felt the stomachache and headache that should also be non-existent.

He really cared about that man too much and always felt that he had many secrets and was closely related to Nazarick.

If these secrets are not solved, Ainz is really not sure whether Nazarick will be threatened.

"No, the information is still too little." Ainz thought deeply and said, "It seems that we have to find an opportunity to approach him proactively."

Upon hearing this, Narberal immediately suggested.

"Should the guardians be dispatched?"

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

"No, the Guardian is the strongest defensive force in Nazarick. Before it is confirmed that Lige Brighaut will be harmful to Nazarick, he should not be allowed to contact the Guardian rashly to avoid any accidents." An Zi said in a deep voice: "It is better not to conflict with him for the time being. It would be best if we can maintain a friendly relationship with him. It will not be too late to decide how to deal with him after we collect enough information and confirm his purpose."

"Yes." Narberal said unwillingly: "What about the killed eight-limbed sword assassin?"

Hearing this, Ainz's non-existent eyes began to flicker under his helmet.

As the headquarters of the game guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, except for the forty-one Supremes, the rest of the members are NPCs.

In today's Nazarick, except for Ainz, the rest are not players, they are just servants who have gained life.

But servants are also differentiated.

As mentioned before, the game called "YGGDRASIL" has a very high degree of freedom. This degree of freedom is not only reflected in occupations, magic, races and various weapon props, but also in other places.

For example, when a player's guild has a higher-level base than a castle, players in that guild will be able to obtain several special rights.

One of them is the ability to have NPCs who protect base areas.

There are two types of NPCs.

One is that even if it is destroyed, it will be automatically resurrected after a period of time without paying any price, that is, an NPC that can be refreshed automatically.

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

Compared with the former, the latter can not only be designed to a higher level, but can also be assigned weapons and props by players. As long as they are intentional, the NPCs created by the players themselves are bound to be more powerful than the automatically refreshed NPCs, and are much stronger. many.

This is how the NPCs in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick came to be, and gained life after coming to this world with Ainz.

Of course, the status and preciousness of NPCs designed and created by the forty-one supreme beings are far beyond the comparison of automatically refreshed NPCs.

NPCs such as Albedo, Demiurge, and Narberal were all designed by members of "Ainz Ooal Gown". In Ainz's view, they were The hard work of former companions is the crystallization of companions, the children of companions.

Compared with this, the NPCs that were automatically refreshed in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick were just a group of insignificant servants, and their status was far inferior to that of the NPCs created by their companions.

The Eight-limbed Blade Assassin Bug is a servant, not an NPC like a guardian, so even if it dies, Ainz will not be angry.

but……

"Even if they are just servants, they are still servants of Nazarick. They cannot be destroyed casually."

The eye sockets under Ainz's helmet flashed red with an unknown emotion.

"If you have the chance, let's collect this debt from him again."

Hearing this, Narberal had no objections.

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

Ainz stood up.

"Don't forget, we are the adventurer Feifei and his companion Nabe now. We have to complete the work assigned to us."

"Yes, Ainz..."

"Um?"

"Ah, no, Mr. Feifei."

"very good."

After saying that, the two returned to the campfire and joined the camp of the adventurers.

…………

At the same time, in a vast area on the outer wall of E-Rantel.

There is an extremely vast cemetery here.

E-Rantel is a fortress city, the forefront of the battlefield between the Kingdom, the Empire, and the Theocracy. It is the city closest to these two neighboring countries.

As a fortress so close to the battlefield, people died in battles here all year round, so a cemetery large enough to place the dead was needed to prevent the dead from becoming undead.

This cemetery is where E-Rantel used to place a large number of dead people. There is also a temple-like memorial temple in the middle, which looks gloomy at night.

Not long after the fierce battle that shocked many people occurred in E-Rantel, someone appeared here.

"Oh, that's terrible."

A female voice sounded like a carnivorous beast, and it sounded a bit ferocious.
