I like traveling the most

“So that’s what happened.

Nfilia sighed deeply.

Because both of his parents died when he was young, he only had a few vague memories left, so when he talked about his amazing parents, the first thing that came to mind were Enri's parents.

I was angry at the Imperial Knights who took the lives of their childhood sweethearts. When I heard that those guys were brutally killed, I only thought that they deserved it. At the same time, I was also extremely angry at the senior officials of [E-Rantel] who were unwilling to send soldiers to rescue the siege. Big fire.

Xiao Lin, who was silently listening to the exchange between the two and understood the whole story, also nodded secretly.

According to the information he received, the Imperial knights Enri saw were actually people from the [Slian Theocracy], who were disguising themselves and blaming the Empire for their crimes.

As for the purpose of doing this, it was naturally to kill Gazef, the warrior captain of the kingdom, and they even went so far as to bribe the kingdom's senior officials for this purpose. This was also the reason why they were unwilling to send troops.

We have a rough understanding of it.

But Xiaolin still had questions, such as whether the magic caster Ainz Ooal Gown was strictly prohibited from revealing his information, so Enri deliberately changed the subject. There are also these intellectual goblins, which are completely different from the violent goblins in the impression. I wonder if they are the work of the powerful magic caster.

In fact, demihuman races are not all brainless guys, such as lizardmen, orcs, elves, etc., they also have their own language, wisdom and culture.

But lower-level existences...

A race like Goblin can communicate intellectually with humans just like high-level elves. It's as scary as if a dog could suddenly do high school math.

Just look at Peter and they will know.

Several people surrounded by goblins, even if the other party is not hostile, will only feel uncomfortable and want to escape from here.

Xiao Lin was forcibly taken away to an open place in the courtyard where it was easy to escape.

This is the instinct of an adventurer and cannot be changed.

Only Nfilia, who was concerned about his childhood sweetheart's mood, chose to stay and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't expect Enri to be the first to be strong.

The girl's immature face made a determined expression and said:

"I can't stay in my sorrow."

"Huh?"

"Because I still have a sister."

"Enri..."

Nfilia stood up slightly and sat down again. On the one hand, she felt a pity for losing the opportunity to comfort her, and on the other hand, she felt that she was really useless. But even so, his desire to protect her remains unchanged. But now it seems that Enri doesn't need her own protection.

At this time, Xiao Lin in the courtyard stopped a certain goblin who was patrolling.

"Excuse me, do you know what 1+1 equals?"

Hey, kindergarten question?

Ainz, who was always paying attention to Xiaolin, was stunned for a moment. Even a three-year-old child could do such a simple question. And does Xiaolin underestimate his magic items too much? The goblins summoned by [Goblin General's Horn] have the same IQ as humans, and they are also advanced AI in the game that can understand the player's thoughts.

Sure enough.

The Goblin rolled his eyes angrily and said speechlessly: "Brother, do you think I'm a fool? Even a three-year-old child knows the answer to a simple question like 1+1=2, right?"

That's right, it's too simple.

Ainz nodded.

However, just as he was thinking this, he heard Xiao Lin say again: "I'm sorry, it seems that the question is too simple. Then... how to prove the Riemann Hypothesis?"

Wait, wait!

Why did it suddenly jump from a kindergarten problem to a millennium problem? The gap in the middle is too big!

Moreover, this conjecture has not been confirmed even now (before Ainz traveled through time). How could a person from another world without education and enlightenment, and a mere goblin at that, possibly know the answer to this question?

The truth was just as Ainz thought.

Goblin scratched his head and said: "Brother, is this a problem for you? Who is Riemann you are talking about? What is his conjecture? Why should I prove it?"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

"And prove this..."

"Riemann Hypothesis."

"Yes, is there any benefit in proving it?"

"No. It's just that someone in my mind told me that if this conjecture can be proven, it will be a major breakthrough for mankind."

Ainz nodded again after hearing Krillin's words.

Indeed, it is proven that the Millennium Mathematical Puzzle will significantly improve mankind, but now that they are in a different world, they should focus more on the present.

"Sorry, little brother. I don't understand and can't help you."

"It's okay, it's okay, but it was me who was so sick that I went to the doctor."

Xiao Lin smiled.

However, he thought in his heart that it seemed that the intelligence of these goblins was the same as that of ordinary humans, and they could still hear that he was teasing them. Did they belong to a subhuman race that was intelligent and warrior-like? It was a little difficult to handle.

Just when the topic came to an end.

Nfilia in the room asked: "By the way, what's going on with these goblins?"

Those goblins called Enri "eldest sister", and each goblin was very different from the ones seen on the road. They felt like warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. Not only that, but seeing a magic caster in the village was even more surprising. I don’t know where those goblins met Enri, who was just a simple village girl, and what their relationship is.

As the other party's childhood sweetheart, he has the right to know this. Enfilia thought so, and the next moment he heard a name that made him feel extremely sad.

—— Ainz Ooal Gown!

"After I used the props left by Mr. Ainz Ooal Gown who saved the village, they appeared and will follow my orders."

"Is that so..."

The boy's heart twitched slightly when he was stared at by his childhood sweetheart's starry eyes, because the person he admired was not him in front of him, but the hero who saved Enri and her sister and brought peace to the village again.

Enfilia, who should have been grateful to the other party, could not feel grateful in his heart.

In the bitterness and pain, the boy learned about Ainz Ooal Gown, and based on the memories of his childhood sweetheart and the slip of the tongue when Narberal called out the name [Albedo], he guessed that Mr. Momo was actually Ainz Ooal Gown.

At this time, Xiaolin was attracted by the intelligent goblin and was taken to the training ground to watch the villagers learn archery. He just missed this extremely important information.

"I was a little surprised to see this scene."

"Indeed. Being taught archery by a subhuman and a goblin?"

"Although the posture is not very standard and the bow is also very simple, how should I put it..."

"It's a bit awkward."

When Xiaolin came to the training ground, he found that the members of the [Black Sword] team were gathered here. Obviously, they were also attracted by the goblin teaching the villagers to learn archery.

At this time, several villagers lined up.

There were men, women, young and old, including a wealthy woman in her forties who looked like a mother, and a boy around ten years old. The common point of all people was that their expressions were serious and even full of hostility. Now no one acted as if they were playing.

The scarecrow used as a target was wearing the clothes of the imperial soldiers. Seeing the clothes worn by the soldiers who had slaughtered them, they couldn't be happy.

Xiaolin did not tell them on his own initiative that the enemy was in disguise, and they were actually from the [Silian Theocracy].

After all, regardless of whether the villagers would believe it or not, his source of information was very suspicious, so instead of telling them and getting into trouble, it was better to let them practice with it.

Isn't that great?

They have the energy to repel the enemy.

At this time, a goblin holding a bow shouted to the people in line, "Get ready", and then the villagers in line took turns to slowly pick up the crooked bows they made, and after pulling the bows to the full, they aimed at the scarecrow at a slightly farther distance.

"Shoot!"

Under the command of the goblin, the villagers shot arrows together.

Although the bow looks simple, the flight trajectory of the arrows is quite perfect, and all of them hit the scarecrow, and no arrows missed.

"Not bad, it looks good."

Lukrut whistled.

As a scout of the team, he is good at using the bow, so he can naturally tell whether it is a fake trick or a real trick at a glance.

In the last round of archery, although they are not as good as the elite soldiers of the Kingdom and the Empire, we must not forget that they are just a group of villagers who have not received professional training. After training for a while, they may be stronger than the Kingdom soldiers.

Dain touched his beard and saw the worried Nina, and asked: "What's wrong, is there anything you want to say, Nina?"

"I'm wondering, is this really okay?"

Nina was a little depressed.

His worries are not unreasonable.

In the Kingdom of [Ye Lantier], the nobles are the boss, and even if the royal family wants to fight against them, they have to weigh themselves. Under such national conditions, the nobles have absolute governance rights over their own territories. And now, Kahn Village actually organized the villagers to conduct military training. If they are exposed, they may be labeled as reactionaries and the village will be razed to the ground.

When the village was slaughtered, the kingdom did nothing, and the villagers took up arms to protect themselves. What's wrong? Because in this way, even if they die, they will not resent others.

"But I understand them."

Peter spoke slowly.

He also had a bad past, and he also saw his past shadow in the villagers who rose up.

Think about it carefully, in addition to being self-reliant to support his family, isn't it to take up arms to resist the unfair fate of becoming an adventurer?

If he died during the mission, he would not blame others, because it was his own choice. But having said that, he still hoped that he would not die easily.

"So what we have to do now is to develop quickly and not be discovered?"

"Huh?"

"Look, as long as you are not discovered, it is not considered reactionary, just like cheating, isn't it?"

When everyone saw Xiaolin making plans for Kahn Village, they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Xiaolin, you are a noble, right?"

"Yes, a noble."

"Then..."

"Have you forgotten? Although I am a noble, I am different from those dirty nobles, so I am happy to stand here."

No, no, no, different.

Everyone shook their heads secretly.

Speaking of nobles, they can only be considered nobles under the governance of the kingdom. If someone rebels and finds out that Kobayashi is behind it, he might be put on the gallows.

Unconsciously, the few people who originally hated the nobles are now worried about Kobayashi.

"What's wrong, everyone."

"How should I put it... I was a little scared by your words. In a sense, I think Kobayashi is very powerful."

"Hahaha, that's exaggerated. After all, even if I'm not a noble of the old era, I have the confidence to become a noble of the new era."

"In another sense, it's also very powerful."

Everyone wanted to refute, but when they thought of Xiaolin's strength and talent, they thought that even if he left the kingdom immediately and went to the Empire or the Church to develop, he would be able to make a name for himself.

If he wanted to become a noble in a certain country, the people in power would be eager to keep him.

Thinking that Xiaolin could live freely and comfortably no matter where he went, the huge gap between the two sides made the people of [Black Sword] sigh again that the gap between people was too big.

"... Maybe even if the nobles sent troops, they might not be able to flatten Kahn Village."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally."

Xiaolin roughly calculated that there were at least 200 goblins in the whole village, including the travel goblins responsible for guarding outside.

200 battle-hardened goblins, converted into at least 500 fully armed human soldiers.

The nobles regarded their territories as inviolable sanctuaries, so they rarely asked outsiders for help, because it would easily give up their governance rights.

I've gone off topic.

In general, the nobles were unwilling to ask for help, and they couldn't rectify themselves. Even if they attacked, Kahn Village was not afraid. As long as they continued to develop like this, they would soon get their own piece of pure land.

"Really, is that so..."

Peter and others nodded suddenly.

They were used to being oppressed by the nobles, and they didn't think of this at all. They had no sense of the power to overthrow them, and they always put themselves in a lower position.

Then they smiled from the bottom of their hearts for the villagers who no longer had to be oppressed by the nobles and slaughtered by the bad guys.

"Everyone, what happened, why are you all laughing?"

Momo's voice came from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw Momo walking with Nabe, followed by a somewhat frustrated Enfilia.

"Mr. Momo and Miss Nabe, actually..."

Peter said Kobayashi's analysis.

Momo nodded after hearing this: "I see, I am also happy for the villagers."

For some reason, everyone could hear that he was not sincere, but they did not know Momo's past, so they stopped asking.

At the same time, they looked at Enfilia.

The boy who cares about his childhood sweetheart should be very happy to hear this news... But he was not, he still looked a little depressed.

"What's wrong, Mr. Enfilia?"

"Huh? Actually..."

"You are jealous."

Without waiting for Enfilia to answer, Lukrut put his arm around the boy's neck.

"Because your childhood sweetheart admires the hero who saved the village, and gave you such a great favor, it is natural to be jealous."

"Huh? No, I..."

"Really, are you jealous?"

"Yeah, I understand."

"My condolences."

The people of [Black Sword] did not give Enfilia a chance to explain, and patted his shoulder with sympathy, causing the boy who was speechless to almost lose his temper.

"Jealous? Jealousy is a good thing."

"Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Because jealousy and resentment can motivate people to move forward. But Mr. Enfilia, jealousy and resentment are not enough. If you continue like this, the gap between you and Miss Enri will grow bigger and bigger. Even... one day, you won't even be qualified to stand by her side."

"...Huh?"

Enfilia was dumbfounded.

He never thought that one day he would be so far away from Enri that he couldn't even stand by her side. But looking at Kobayashi's serious expression, he subconsciously slandered his beloved childhood sweetheart.

"Enri is just a village girl..."

"Just a village girl? Is that really the case?"

Such a statement made everyone, including Ainz, look at him.

"Do you know? In a heroic story, there is a village girl who lives in one of the small isolated areas in the northeast that is still loyal to the royal family. She is surrounded by the territories of other countries. Under such circumstances, the village suffered several attacks, one of which even caused a fire in the village, and many villagers died..."

Gulu!

Enfilia swallowed his saliva.

Although it was said at the beginning that this was just a fairy tale, he still couldn't help but panic under Xiaolin's serious narration.

Xiaolin's story continued.

"Taking this as an opportunity, the village girl decided to lead the villagers to resist. She reorganized the village, trained the villagers, and finally successfully formed a team. Of course, this army composed of villagers was disdained by the nobles and the royal family, who even mocked her for overestimating her own strength and threatening to flatten the village. So, the nobles launched an attack without notifying her."

At this point, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

They looked forward to the next development, that is, they were worried that the village would be flattened, and they also hoped that the village girl could lead the villagers to resist.

"This was a war that was as easy as a whirlwind. No, it wasn't even a war. It was just a military exercise at best... Every noble and even royal family member thought so. In fact, the battle was as easy as a whirlwind as they thought. However, the winners were not the nobles, but the villagers. They used simple bows and arrows and crude farm tools to defeat the nobles and repel the army, and successfully defended their homes."

Everyone relaxed a little.

But soon, their nerves were tense again.

"When the first nobles were defeated, the next nobles who came were stronger, with more soldiers and better weapons. They led an army dozens of times larger than the villagers and rushed towards the village. They were bound to flatten the village."

"Then..."

"Of course, the winner was still the village girl. And not only these two nobles, but every noble who followed was stronger than before, and even the royal family sent troops to come in the end. However, under the leadership of the village girl, the villagers were fearless and successfully protected the village. The village girl continued to lead the villagers to a series of incredible victories, turning the situation of countless wars around, and finally they gained autonomy."

There was no exaggeration or fancy words to embellish it, but the more plain it was, the more real it could be.

All the battles, big and small, were won. There was no detailed description of the war process, and it was not even known how many wars had been experienced. But those who knew the cruelty of war understood that the process must have been extremely difficult.

"Xiaolin, what's her name?"

"Ah, she is..."

She has been depicted in many ways in both reality and the second dimension, and has appeared in various movies, dramas, and music, continuing her spiritual will and having an unparalleled legendary color.

——Joan of Arc.

"Joan of Arc."

Ainz and Xiaolin said in unison.

But one is in the heart, and the other is on the surface.
