I like traveling the most

"Everyone, let's have a big dinner when we get back, and then Miss Nabe and I will kiss each other, shall we?"

“Don’t talk nonsense, Lukeroot.

"You really don't have a long memory."

The gossip started by Luke Root was quickly refuted by [Dark Sword] and others. After all, whether it was the occasion, the timing, or the person, the choice was too poor.

But who makes him a frivolous man?

His companions, who were used to his temperament, shook their heads helplessly.

Although Lukeroot stated that he fell in love with Nabe at first sight, there was a more outstanding Mr. Momo beside him, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary, so even his companions could do nothing to help him.

Narberal on the side showed an expression of obvious disgust, but it was only because of Ainz's warning that she did not get angry.

"Actually, I...wait."

Lukroot instantly changed from frivolous to serious, and the whole process took less than a second.

You can always trust him during the mission, which is the fundamental reason why no one will condemn him even if he is joking deep in the forest.

The forest became noisy.

Lukeroot, who pricked up his ears and was alert to changes in the air, looked around with a serious expression.

"Something's coming."

Upon hearing this, the members of the [Dark Sword] who helped collect the medicine all raised their weapons and assumed fighting postures.

"Is he the Wise King of the Forest?"

No one answered Nfilia's question, which made the restless boy hide behind Ainz's broad figure, trying to gain some sense of security.

Everyone stared silently into the depths of the forest.

"This is bad."

Xiao Lin's fingers shook, and when everyone turned their eyes, he said: "I also secretly arranged silk threads in the forest as warnings, but they were all torn. And the only person who can do this is the body type Huge monster."

Even if they didn't say it clearly, everyone seemed to understand who the enemy was.

Even the frivolous Luke Root shouted in a serious tone: "Xiao Lin is right, there is something huge rushing towards here. Although I don't know why the opponent is circling around, I can judge from the sound of stepping on the weeds." , It should be here soon, but... I’m not sure if it’s the Wise King of the Forest.”

"Retreat, regardless of whether it is the Forest Wise King or not, it is very dangerous to stay here. Even if it is not the Forest Wise King, we have already invaded its sphere of influence, so the possibility of pursuit is very high."

Captain Peter made a quick decision.

At the same time, he looked at Ainz and said, "Mr. Momo, can you please come to the rear?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it... we'll take care of it next." Ainz nodded confidently.

[Sword of Darkness] Several people supported Ainz one after another and retreated out of the forest with Nfilia.

Originally, Xiao Lin planned to stay, and he was also more interested in the Forest Wise King. However, if Peter and others encountered other large monsters during their escape, they would be in danger, so Xiao Lin's main task was to escort them.

Secretly thinking it was a pity, he turned around and left.

"Mr. Momo, please don't push yourself too hard."

Nfilia's voice was full of absolute trust in Ainz, and the eyes under her hair were shining with admiration. Ainz felt uncomfortable all over and asked them to leave quickly.

Watching the group of people disappear on the other side of the forest, Ainz felt a little uneasy in his heart, wondering if he could successfully leave the forest on his own, but Ainz immediately thought that he could let Aura guide him to avoid getting lost in the forest.

The most urgent task right now is...

"Oops. There are no witnesses, and even if you defeat him, he may be considered not to be the Wise King of the Forest... Even if you want to bring the Wise King of the Forest back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, you need to obtain evidence of defeating him... You have to cut off one of his feet. ”

"Lord Ainz."

Wherever Narberal looked, there was a huge shadow behind the forest a little far away. Because he was hiding behind the woods, his appearance could not be discerned, and the sunlight was not shining on him, so he could not confirm whether his body was silvery white.

"Are the guests coming?"

——You are the guest.

To Momo and Nabe who broke into the forest, they might just be guests.

Since he didn't know how to convert levels and couldn't know the combat power of the Forest Wise King, Ainz naturally stood in front of the magic caster Narberal, who was not good at melee combat, to protect her.

As soon as he took a step forward, Ainz felt the flow of air and crossed his giant swords as a shield to resist.

There was a sound like metal colliding, and Ainz felt heavy pressure on his arm. A heavy object hit the giant sword in his hand at an extremely fast speed.

You can see a long tail that looks like snake scales, slowly retracting behind the trees.

"It's really amazing that I was able to completely block my first move... It may be the first time in my life that I have encountered an opponent with such skill."

"I……"

Ainz's phantom's face stiffened.

This self-identification sounded awkward, but he soon understood that the sentence just now was also a translated statement.

"Then if you leave now as an intruder in my territory, for the sake of the excellent defense before, I will not pursue you... How about that?"

"What a stupid question. Of course, I want to defeat you to get benefits. By the way, is it because you don't have confidence in your appearance when you hide? Or is it because you are shy by nature?"

"...You are so eloquent! Intruder, let you see my great appearance and feel dumbfounded, horrified and awed!"

The Wise King of the Forest slowly emerged from the bushes and showed his figure in front of Ainz. Seeing that appearance, Ainz opened his eyes wide with the disguised face he had transformed into with the illusion technique.

"Hahaha, I can feel the surprise and fear coming from under your helmet!"

The monster smiled and wrinkled his face, and his long tail curled up. A pattern similar to strange words appeared on his body with silver-white fur. It is about the same size as a horse, but it is very short and has a flat body that develops horizontally.

This, this monster...

It has silver, or should I say snow-white fur and a round black chimney, and a round body that looks like a mochi. Except for the long snake-like scaly tail, isn't it just an enlarged version of a Jakaria hamster? !

This is the Wise King of the Forest? !

What a joke!

——————

"Huh, huh! I'm so tired!"

After running out of the forest and coming to a safe place, Lukrut complained with heavy breathing.

He could still complain, but the others were already sweating and panting and could not speak, especially Enfilia, who had no physical strength at all. Peter held her in his arms and carried her halfway.

There was no way, who made them dare not stay in the forest?

The people of [Black Sword] felt ashamed that they could not help Momo and Nabe.

"Everyone, do you think Mr. Momo can defeat the Forest King?"

"Should be able to... right?"

Dyne, who was still very confident, thought of the reputation of the Forest King, and finally turned into a question. After all, the Forest King has a natural advantage in fighting at home, and even if Mr. Momo is very strong, he may not be able to defeat it.

"No, Mr. Momo will definitely win!"

"Enfilia?"

"I believe him!"

The young pharmacist has an inexplicable admiration for Momo. Obviously, it was not like this before coming to Kahn Village. Did something happen?

At this time, Peter saw Xiaolin constantly looking into the forest and said, "Are you worried about them? Why don't you go?"

"Can I?"

"It's okay. Now we have come to a safe place. As for the plan to intercept the Forest King, if the three of you can capture it directly, there is no need to carry out the following plan."

"I know, I'll go."

After getting permission, Xiaolin nodded.

However, when he was about to rush into the forest again, Momo and Nabe actually came out!

Seeing that the two came out safely, a group of people rushed forward to celebrate their safety. Only Lukrut looked a little surprised.

Enfilia asked with a tone of surprise and admiration: "It turned out that they were unharmed... Mr. Momo, did you avoid the battle?"

"No, I have fought with the Forest King and tamed it." Ainz answered lightly, and shouted to the depths of the forest: "Hey, come out."

Then, the Forest King with pearly white fur slowly appeared from the forest. The group of [Black Sword] surrounded Enfilia with surprised expressions, raised their swords and took a step back. Only Xiaolin approached it like a curious baby, looked at it for a long time and said uncertainly.

"Is this a Jakaria hamster?"

"Jakaria hamster?"

"It is a popular hamster. But generally it is small... Is this a little too big? And the tail is also snake-like... Of course, it is possible that I recognized it wrong."

(No, I didn't recognize it wrong.)

Ainz answered secretly in his heart, and said to the [Black Sword] group who were still vigilant: "Please rest assured, it has been subdued by me, and it will never go crazy and hurt people."

Then he came to the side of the Wise King of the Forest and pretended to stroke its body.

"As the lord said, the Wise King of the Forest has surrendered to the lord and become a subordinate who serves you. I swear to the lord that I will never cause trouble for you!"

The Wise King of the Forest swore allegiance to Ainz.

Perhaps everyone is wary of its huge body, but it was originally a cute Jakaria hamster, and they will be relieved after getting used to it. The problem is how to make everyone believe that it is the real Wise King of the Forest, and this is the only thing that makes Ainz feel difficult.

However——

"This is the Wise King of the Forest! It's amazing! What a great beast!"

"Wow... This Wise King of the Forest... It really lives up to its reputation! Just by appearing in front of us, we can feel its powerful power!"

"Eyes full of wisdom! If we meet it, we will definitely be wiped out! Oh, I really admire you."

"You are worthy of Mr. Momo!"

Great beast? Powerful power? Wise eyes?

Who are you talking about?

Ainz looked at everyone with a speechless expression. After realizing that they were not flattering, he felt dizzy for a moment. What and what, it was just the most useless monster, how could it suddenly become a powerful character in their mouths?

"The Wise King of the Forest..."

"What's wrong, Krillin?"

"Nothing. It's just... um, Mr. Momo, can you let me fight it?"

"... Eh?"

Ainz was stunned.

No, not only him, but the members of the [Black Sword] were also stunned. After a pause, they hurriedly stopped Krillin's rash decision.

The opponent is the Wise King of the Forest. If you want to fight him, you really don't fear death.

"This... that..."

Ainz didn't know how to answer.

In fact, he didn't care. After all, it was such a weak and rubbish monster. If he could win Xiao Lin's favor, it wouldn't matter even if the wise king of the forest died. But seeing the anxious look on the [Sword of Darkness] and the others, Ainz wondered whether it was really powerful, and he didn't know whether to agree or not.

"It's okay, everyone, I will be merciful."

"...I'm not asking you to be merciful, Xiaolin, do you really understand what you are talking about?"

Nina rubbed his eyebrows.

Probably because Xiao Lin's relationship has always been inconspicuous, and everyone who is unclear about its depth really doesn't want him to take risks.

"It's okay, it's okay, trust me."

In the end, everyone who couldn't resist him had no choice but to agree, and at the same time asked Ainz to let his pets show mercy when fighting Krillin.

Ainz nodded, grabbed the hair of the Forest Wise King's neck, and came not far away.

"Don't worry, my lord! That boy dares to despise my lord, I will definitely beat him to pieces!"

"no."

"Huh?"

"I said no. Just listen to me. You must not hurt a hair on his head. If he is hurt, I will treat you as a magic material and pluck out your fur to use as a carpet."

"Yes, yes...!"

The eyes that had just been praised for his wisdom were now filled with tears from fear, and the aggrieved Forest King could no longer speak.

Soon, one man and one beast took up positions outside the forest.

Originally, the wise king of the forest wanted to say something sexy as a prelude, but when he thought of the lord's attitude towards the man in front of him just now, he immediately closed his mouth and started thinking about how to let it go.

"Come on, no matter what move it is, I will block it."

"Does that mean you're not going to take the initiative to attack?"

Xiao Lin blinked.

When humans and monsters fight, humans usually defend and counterattack. Although it is a bit embarrassing, this is an indisputable fact because humans are naturally weak and accustomed to defensive counterattacks.

"However, if you underestimate me, you will suffer a big loss."

Xiao Lin still showed a harmless smile.

"Ah, right."

Suddenly, as if something had occurred to him, he said, "Let's take this opportunity to let everyone know how to deal with large monsters. Mr. Peter, can I borrow your scabbard?"

"Of course. But will the scabbard be enough?"

Peter readily agreed.

They knew that Xiaolin was good at a novel weapon - silk thread, but since it was a teaching, it was obviously necessary to demonstrate with the weapons they were good at.

"first……"

Xiao Lin took the scabbard thrown by Peter, then rushed towards the Forest Wise King, swinging the scabbard from top to bottom, which was a standard slashing move.

But judging from the power, it doesn't seem to be a martial skill, and the Forest Sage King also used his tail to easily block it.

Then Xiao Lin fought with the wise king of the forest, and the scabbards and tails collided with each other, making a steely sound, which was a little fierce.

Because the Wise King of the Forest was ordered by Ainz, it had always kept its hand. However, as Xiao Lin continued to test it, it had unknowingly shown its true skills, and an afterimage appeared at the speed of its tail swaying behind it.

The few people watching were slightly stunned.

Did Xiaolin use any difficult martial arts or techniques?

The answer is no, everything is so unpretentious and progresses step by step, as if cooking a top-notch dish with complicated steps, analyzing the delicious ingredient known as the Forest Sage King bit by bit.

Xiaolin distanced himself and said: "This is one thing that must be made clear when fighting any type of Warcraft - find out the enemy's weaknesses."

The strength and speed he showed just now are almost the same as Peter and Luke Root. However, whether it is his acumen in combat or his coping methods, they are several notches behind them.

"And when you find its flaw, it's time to defeat the opponent."

Xiaolin changed his mind and ran away from him before. This time he attacked more violently and continuously, which overwhelmed the wise king of the forest. He even taught him fighting skills at the same time.

"Everyone, do you know where is the most effective place to deal with the enemy? Lungs? Heart? Yin? No, none of them. It's the brain. Listen up, living things have skulls and brains. Shaking the brain will cause Concussion, even if the dragon is hit hard! However, the most effective way to shake the head is... to hit its neck! "

After saying that, Xiao Lin dodged and came to the side of the Forest Sage King. He used the attack to freeze so that he could not retract the tail he swung out.

Under the frightened and frightened dark eyes of the wise king of the forest, he responded with a harmless smile, and then dropped his sword scabbard!

"Uh...!"

The Forest Wise King, who suffered a heavy blow to his neck, groaned, rolled his eyes and fainted immediately.

There are no powerful martial arts, no gorgeous fighting skills, everything is so natural, and every step during the battle is just right. When everyone saw this, they couldn't say anything. They opened their mouths in shock, and only two words came to their minds.

——Smooth!
