overlord holy black dragon king

After leaving the royal courtyard, Melo came alone to the most luxurious hotel in the kingdom.

Those around him who saw him voluntarily gave way. As a steel-rank adventurer, he was more famous in the eyes of ordinary people than some members of the royal family.

Especially Melo, even though he has few missions, he can complete each mission perfectly no matter how difficult or easy, which has also led to the exaggerated praise of "he has never failed" in many countries.

I don't have any opinion on this.

Now that he has decided to be active on the stage as an adventurer to collect information on "players", deliberately keeping a low profile will easily arouse suspicion. On the contrary, a steel-rank adventurer with an exaggerated title like "Undefeated" will create a negative image such as arrogance, frivolity, and indulgence in pleasure, which is more likely to mislead others.

Isn't it right for heroes who are both powerful and famous to have some flaws or strange quirks?
This is more "real" and more like a living "human being".

Moreover, Melo is an outlier among the few remaining true dragon kings, and he never bothers to hide his desires.

Wealth, power, beauty.

As long as it is what he wants, he will definitely find a way to get it.

In other words, Melo is more like a real dragon.

Of course, if the enemy can have the idea of ​​"this guy is just a layman with a little strength, don't need to pay too much attention to it, maybe he can take advantage of it if he has the opportunity", then Melo's goal will be 100% achieved.

The owner of the hotel was drinking wine in boredom, when he saw the "acquaintance" coming, he immediately put on a flattering look:

"Hey, Master Melo is here, is it still the same?"

He knew that the person in front of him was not only a top adventurer, but also a very generous "grand master".

Mello let out a "hmm" casually. He had already understood the other party's thoughts, and casually threw a bag of gold coins that far exceeded the room price on the bar.

The hotel owner quickly caught it and handed over a special key with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Melo, your exclusive luxury suite has already been prepared."

After receiving the key, Melo walked to an inconspicuous corner on the second floor, closed the door, opened the barrier to prevent monitoring, and took out a bracelet from nowhere and put it on.

It can communicate with people who also wear the bracelet regardless of distance and interference. This is a prop made by him using the unique material of "YGGDRASIL".

He also knows the communication magic of "YGGDRASIL", but he can learn it because of the innate ability of "Spellbreaker", and others can't learn it,

There are only enough materials to make four.

It seems that not every "player" who comes to this world has a deep background and strong strength.

Immediately afterwards, after a red light appeared on the wristband, a girl's voice came out from it.

"Master Melo."

"Well, congratulations first of all, I heard that you have successfully occupied a place in the "Dark Canon"."

"This is all thanks to Master Melo's teaching, if it wasn't for you at the beginning"

"Let's skip the non-nutritive conversation. Your current situation is not suitable for long conversation."

The girl was silent.

Even if he joined the strongest elite unit "Dark Codex" and obtained the seventh seat "Astrology Thousand Miles", he could not equate it with freedom and rights. What's more, he never had the original intention of "fighting for the honor of the Theocracy".

When you have a "ghost" in your heart, you can't act frankly, and the panic that arises when a small action is discovered is more likely to be suspected.

She's not a professional spy.

Therefore, when it is not necessary, it is better to minimize the risk of exposure.

After interrupting the girl's voice, Melo continued:

"About the "Sunshine Ceremony" that encircled and suppressed the kingdom's warrior commander Gazef a few days ago, did you monitor it?"

She knew about it, it's a pity.
"I'm very sorry, this subordinate thought it was just a very common thing, so..."

There was some remorse in the girl's words.

Although she received the order to "obtain as much information as possible about the 'player'", she didn't think there would be anything worthy of Master Melo's attention in this kind of friction between countries.

After hearing the other party mention this matter, she realized that it was her dereliction of duty, so, trying to restore her misplacement, the girl quickly added:

"However, the head priest should have some information. The head priest will secretly monitor every special force that performs a mission. Do you need me to inquire about it?"

"No, forget it, it's not time to expose you yet."

Hearing that Melo didn't mean to blame her, the girl was secretly relieved.

Loyalty comes from loyalty, repayment comes from repayment, and it is inevitable to be afraid of this unfathomable boss.

Pausing for a moment, as if knowing what the other party would say next, he answered first before speaking:
"Recently, I have been monitoring the "Dark Codex". One of its members seems to have a tendency to betray. Maybe you will be interested, she may be able to act as your pawn."

.

After finishing the call, Melo tapped his fingers on the table lightly, sorting out the information in his mind.

Regardless of which aspect he looked at, he was more than half sure that Ainzi Ooulgong was a player from YGGDRASIL.

For players from different worlds, Melo has been treating players from different worlds based on the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let him go.

Even if there is only a [-]% possibility, he will be fully prepared to deal with it.

This is not to classify the opponent as an "enemy". For players, there are also friendly existences in this world, such as the six gods who came first, one of the thirteen heroes who defeated the demon god 200 years ago, or a kind-hearted player he met 100 years ago.

The communication bracelet was also cheated from the other party.

After confirming that the other party's strength and mentality would not pose the slightest threat to the world, Melo "friendly" invited the other party to spend the rest of his life in the Dragon Kingdom.

This is his great source of intel on YGGDRASIL.

Therefore, after confirming the arrival of a new aftershock, the next thing is to test the opponent's strength and find out the number of people.

As for the attitude towards the world
That kind of thing will only be considered on the premise of having sufficient strength. The weak with insufficient strength have no right to decide their fate, and there is no need to consider whether he is good or evil.

However, it is still necessary to find the position of the other party first.

"The location mentioned in the information is the outskirts of Ye Lantel, near a relatively remote village. That is to say, the location where the other party descended into this world is the gap between the three countries."

The location of Karn Village is very embarrassing. It is in the "buffer area" of the three major powers of Kingdom, Theocracy, and Empire.

Fortunately, the extent of the confrontation between the two countries was not too great, which allowed Karn Village to survive in the cracks.

However, players who are new to the ramp are unfamiliar with everything. Whether they want to collect information or destroy like a demon, they should choose to move around in the nearest populated place.

In this way, Ye Lantel of the Kingdom should be the primary target.

Of course, this is just a reasonable guess. There is no evidence to confirm this guess, and the other party has not made any "shocking" moves.

Rather than bumping around like a headless chicken, it's better to go down this guess.

"In this case, we can only look forward to the pawn she mentioned."

For the plan proposed by "Astrology Thousands of Miles", Melo thinks it is feasible.

Even if this might cause Ye Lantel to suffer a devastating blow, and the lives of innocent residents in the city would be taken away.

But for Melo, sacrificing an unrelated town in exchange for a lot of information from the "player" is a very cost-effective thing.

After all, he is not a human hero, and has no duty to protect human beings.

Sacrificing the lives of a few people in exchange for the survival of the majority is not a decision that can be simply measured by quantitative relations, but when the so-called "minority" is someone who has nothing to do with oneself, then this choice becomes simple.

As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter how many irrelevant people are sacrificed when necessary.

However, in line with the purpose of getting the best value for money, Melo will never make meaningless sacrifices.

"Hey."

Sighing softly, Mello got up from the chair and stretched his limbs.

No new conclusions can be drawn from the existing intelligence, the key lies in the pawn and plan mentioned in "A Thousand Miles of Astrology".

If all goes well, you may be able to pull out a big fish.

"Hopefully it will show me a good show."

The corners of Melo's mouth raised slightly, revealing a pleasant smile.
