I like traveling the most

Unlike Kobayashi, who was not panicking at all because he had someone to back him up, Ainz was really restless and running back and forth these past two days.

After all, Shalltear was very strong.

If we simply compare them as Guardians, she is the strongest one in terms of overall strength, excluding the Golems (large golems used for strategic sieges).

Therefore, if you want to be absolutely sure of defeating her, you have to send carefully selected members such as Albedo to deal with her, otherwise it will be quite difficult. And now Shalltear is fully armed, how can he defeat her?

Looking at the bloody Valkyrie on the screen, Ainz's muscleless face showed obvious sorrow.

"Sorry to bother you, Ainz-sama."

A woman's voice sounded in his mind. It was the voice of Narberal who stayed in [E-Rantel]. This abrupt call at an absolutely wrong time made Ainz a little angry.

"What's wrong, Narberal, I'm..."

I'm busy.

... Ainz stopped talking halfway.

The NPCs treated him as the Supreme Being, so even if it was a wrong judgment, it was easy for them to take Ainz's words as the first priority. That was why he had to stay calm and act as carefully as possible to avoid mistakes.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

"What's wrong? You only contacted me through [Message] when you have an emergency, right?"

"Yes, someone from the Adventurer's Guild wants to see you."

"...If it's about what happened last night, ask them to wait... No, it should be something else."

"Your Excellency is indeed very observant."

The Dihua Narberal was vague, expressing her confusion with silence. Soon, she seemed to have found a conclusion in her heart and spoke again: "In fact, in addition to the previous incident, another incident happened. It was... about vampires."

"What, you said vampires?"

Ainz turned his gaze to Shalltear, who appeared on the screen and was still standing upright, and continued to ask: "Did the other party mention anything about the vampire? For example, silver hair or wearing crimson armor."

"Unfortunately, no. The person who came was just an errand boy. The other party only said that the details would be explained in the guild, and hoped that the Excellency could go there as soon as possible."

"I know."

Ainz cut off contact with Narberal, and after communicating with Albedo, decided to send someone to monitor Shalltear first, and then he would go there in person after the matter was over.

————

"Come, Mr. Momo, please find an empty seat and sit down."

When Ainz arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, there were already quite a few people in the room, including Krillin.

Come to think of it, after all, he is the key figure in solving the undead army together. If he is already here, how could Krillin not come?

No, Krillin cannot be involved.

Ainz already knew that the discussion this time was about how to deal with the vampire in the suburbs, that is, Shalltear.

Even though Krillin was an outstanding priest, he did not think that he had the strength to kill Shalltear, who had the strongest overall strength in the Great Tomb, but what if? What if Krillin had some trump card and happened to kill Shalltear?

What he hated most was the unknown, especially when he didn't know whether Shalltear could be resurrected after death. If Shalltear, who was an undead, was purified and could not be resurrected, he would really go crazy, so Krillin must not be allowed to participate!

After making up his mind, Ainz sat down under the gaze of everyone and began to look at the people in the room.

In addition to the familiar Xiaolin, three of them were fully armed and sturdy men. The other man who greeted Ainz was also majestic but not armed. There was also a thin man in a robe who looked a little neurotic, and the fat man at the back of the room.

The standing man spoke again:

"Let me introduce you first. I am the president of the Adventurer's Guild, this is the mayor, this is the president of the Magician's Guild, and you should know Mr. Xiaolin. The other three were invited by us like you, and they are all adventurer teams that the town is proud of."

The three people introduced matched the color of the metal plate hanging around their necks - the secret silver color. Their standing posture was majestic and even gave people a strong feeling.

Although the equipment they wore was rubbish to Ainz, it was much better than the adventurers he met in this town.

Then one of them said with hostility in his eyes: "Before that, I have something to ask you. I have never heard of the name Momo. Since he is Mithril-level, he should have done something great, right?"

Adventurers are a group of hot-tempered people. People with strength will be respected. It is natural that some people dislike a guy like Ainz who suddenly appeared.

The president was not annoyed and told him about Ainz's subjugation of the Forest King and the cemetery incident.

"The cemetery incident? Could it be the incident where a large number of undead appeared a few days ago?"

"That's right. But you are really well-informed. Because it is quite tricky news, instructions have been issued to keep it confidential as much as possible and not leak it. Where did you hear it from?"

"Sorry, I just heard a little bit about it."

Facing the mayor's questioning, the questioning adventurer answered so lightly. After the two looked at each other, they smiled at each other. Compared with the adventurer's perfunctory, the mayor smiled helplessly.

"But is it just this one thing?"

"Isn't it enough? With only three people, Mr. Momo broke through thousands of undead and defeated the characters who were performing evil rituals on the spot. You must know that Mr. Momo also killed the terrifying undead with absolute magic defense-the Bone Dragon. , To be honest, it’s okay to upgrade to Orichalcum level.”

"This, this! The bone dragon is indeed very strong! But as long as you are a Mithril-level adventurer, you can still..."

"Can you defeat two at the same time?"

"What?!"

He was not the only one who screamed in exclamation, others also followed him. Everyone looked at Ainz with a subtle change in their gaze, as if they were investigators trying to investigate the depth of the lake.

"What were left at the scene were the remains of two bone dragons. Can your team break through thousands of undead in a very short period of time and eliminate the two bone dragons to kill the mastermind behind the attempt to cause an unknown phenomenon? The adventurers heading to the cemetery There are still people who have witnessed the soul-twisting undead and other powerful undead. Can you conquer such a dangerous place?"

"I-if we had a powerful priest like Lord Lin..."

He was slightly arrogant and unwilling to do so.

Xiaolin's identity has been exposed since he rescued Nfilia, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the cause and result of this incident.

But it doesn't matter even if he is exposed. Anyway, his goal of getting rid of Clementine has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to hide his identity.

Krillin looked at Ainz with some apologies. It was because of his status as a priest that his achievements were divided, otherwise Ainz would definitely have reached the orichalcum level.

Ainz shook his head to show that he didn't care.

"Then let's get to the point."

After reestablishing the authenticity of Ainz's mithril-level adventurers, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild began to tell them the purpose of summoning them.

"Let me give you a brief report. About two nights ago, adventurers patrolling the streets in the suburbs encountered a vampire. Five of them were killed. Everyone is called here because of the vampire."

After hearing the description of the vampire's appearance, Ainz's expectations were easily shattered.

→

According to the descriptions of adventurers who survived the disaster, although they could only vaguely remember the vampire's clothing, hair color, etc. because they were too scared, they also left a strong impression of the silver-haired big mouth.

Even if she only remembers her vague appearance, anyone who knows Shalltear will quickly associate her with her.

"Where are the so-called suburbs?"

"About three hours' walk from the North Gate, there is a large forest nearby, right inside that forest."

"What level was the adventurer who was killed?"

"Iron level."

Xiao Lin had collected this information a long time ago, but he did not say anything but listened silently, and was always paying attention to the situation of the dark warrior sitting diagonally opposite.

I don't know why, but the other party's breath fluctuated greatly after hearing the silver-haired vampire with a big mouth, something was not right.

Excited, angry, panic, scared

Very faint, but very clear.

"Um... may I ask, are you planning to use a bidding method to summon so many adventurers just for vampires?"

"That's it. As for vampires, platinum-level adventurers are enough to deal with them, right?"

"I don't understand why so many mithril-level adventurers are being recruited."

The three adventurers spoke one after another.

The guild leader said helplessly: "The reason is very simple, because that vampire is very strong."

"A very strong vampire? Do you mean that the other party is a high-level vampire... the famous vampire [Destroy the Nation] who appears in Thirteen Heroes?"

"I don't know if it's that person, but when the adventurers met that vampire, the other party used the third-level magic [Create the Undead]. What does this mean? I don't need to explain it to the adventurers, right?"

"Hmm."

Nothing to say.

The expressions of the adventurers were stiff.

Being able to use magic in that field, if you simply evaluate it, you can regard the opponent as having platinum level abilities.

platinum……

It is generally believed that platinum level adventurers account for about 20% of the country's adventurers.

There are about 3,000 adventurers in the kingdom, so among the total population of more than 8 million in the kingdom, there are only about 600 platinum-level adventurers.

That's right, adventurers above platinum level are so rare. Because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, Xiaolin is unwilling to continue to increase the adventurer level.

But some idiot got involved.

It was the adventurer who had been causing trouble for Ainz before. He shouted enthusiastically: "That is to say. Guild Master, what you mean is that if you can defeat that vampire, you will admit that his team is platinum-level... right?" ?”

"You can think so."

Seemingly seeing that he was a little too excited, the president said: "Please don't forget that the other party will create the undead. The undead will not be tired and do not need to eat. Barely speaking, it is equivalent to an army of about ten thousand people."

"What……?"

The president's words extinguished his passion.

Comparable to an army of ten thousand people, a mere Mithril level can't defeat the opponent. Is that why they summoned so many people?

The adventurers fell silent.

Seeing their completely different reactions from before, the mayor said: "Although I don't want to understand, I already understand. So, in response to this situation, I would like to ask all the adventurers, are you confident that you can go to crusade? If there is no way ...Well, how about asking Soldier Captain Gazef-san for help?”

Gazef is a man who has half a foot in the realm of heroes. He is an adventurer whose strength exceeds the level of steel. He can be called the last king of the kingdom.

However, this proposal was rejected.

Gazef is indeed strong, but he cannot defeat a team of experienced and cooperative adventurers. After all, a team of four can use four times more martial arts and magic than Gazef. When dealing with monsters with special abilities, such The difference can be said to be quite huge.

Then everyone began to discuss.

Some people suggested calling in adamantine-level and orichalcum-level adventurers, some suggested seeking help from the Theocracy, others suggested setting up a defense circle, and so on.

final……

"Master Lin, is there anything you can do?"

As the mayor spoke, everyone turned their attention to the man who had been quietly listening to their argument since before the meeting began.

To be honest, in terms of status, Xiao Lin is nobler than anyone present, not even the mayor can compare to Xiao Lin.

Not only because the other party is the second son of the Marquis family, but also because he is the leader of the Axis Cult. The adventurers present have basically received favors from the Axis Cult. In addition, they are very powerful, so they respect Xiaolin.

"Yeah, well..."

"I'll take care of her."

Plain, but decisive.

It was Ainz himself who rushed before Xiao Lin to speak. He absolutely couldn't make Xiao Lin agree, so he spoke first.

"I know the name of that vampire, because that vampire is the one I have been chasing."

"What?"

The air at the scene vibrated.

Ainz quickly turned his head, and the main event was about to begin.

"Those are very powerful vampires. I will become an adventurer. The purpose is actually to collect information about them."

"Them? Mr. Momo means them?"

The information he deliberately spread made the guild leader immediately take the bait.

"Yes, there are two vampires, and the name of the silver-haired female vampire is...Henu Peyote."

"What?"

This name made everyone stunned.

The name alone was enough to make people suspicious, but Ainz continued with a bit of anger that would never allow anyone to interfere: "Our team will be responsible for the reconnaissance. If a vampire is found there, we will eliminate it on the spot."

He declared so unruly.

Although you can't see his face, you can clearly feel the confidence and determination in his voice.

The pressure made people mistakenly think that the air was vibrating, making people take a breath of cold air. Everyone at the scene even thought that the sound was made by themselves.

This man is definitely not human.

"But Mr. Lin..."

"It doesn't matter. I believe Mr. Momo, since you are so determined, then just go ahead and do it. It's also very Axisian, isn't it?"

Xiao Lin believed it, just as he did at the cemetery.

"But don't worry. If Mr. Momo dies accidentally, the resurrection magic I promised you will come in handy."

However, the guild president was a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask: "Although I really want to support him, can Mr. Momo win?"

"I will win."

This attitude definitely does not come from arrogance, narcissism and pride, but from calm calculation, and at the same time from his strength to be able to make such an assertion.

It was like a black armor expanding in front of my eyes, a feeling of being oppressed, and even the illusion that the room was becoming narrower. From this man, you can feel the feeling of a character that you have seen before and can never match, such as an adamantium-level adventurer.

This guy can be called a hero.
