Chapter 368 Meeting of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick
The 10th floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the Throne Room.
Ainz, who had returned to his skeletal form, was sitting on the throne. To his right, floating a golden staff with nine snake heads, was the artifact from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Ainz
Staff of ·Ul·Gong.
And at the bottom of the steps, kneeling on one knee, there was a whole row of strong aliens with different looks and figures.
Ainz used what he thought was the most dignified tone and said in a deep voice: "This is the situation. Is there anything you want to say?"
After a pause, he added: "I allow you to speak as you wish. At this moment, Nazarick needs the wisdom of your guardians."
Hearing this, the beautiful succubus, who was born with two horns and wings spread out from her waist, looked terrified, "Lord Ainz, only your wisdom can shine through the ages. I am afraid that it will be hard for us to reach it."
With Albedo, the chief steward of the guardians, taking the initiative, the other guardians agreed:
"That is to say, Lord Ainz is a combination of wisdom and strength."
"The supreme being who unites many supreme beings."
"The greatest being in the world!"
A series of compliments came to him, which made Ainz confused.
However, he is still self-aware.
As for ‘wisdom shines through the ages’, I’m just a social creature who likes to spend money playing games. If I hadn’t accidentally traveled through time, I would still be worrying about next month’s salary...
Ainz placed his white knuckles on his brow bone and tapped it a few times. "Okay, let's stop with the meaningless compliments. What I need is your true thoughts."
As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on a diamond-eyed demon with a slicked back hair and well-dressed clothes, "Demiurge, you are the brain trust of the Great Tomb. I want to hear your thoughts."
When his name was called, Demiurge bowed his head in great respect.
After a while, he was brewing what he wanted to say in his heart, and said softly: "With all due respect, Lord Ainz, the information we have is still too little... Although we already know that the adventurer named Jojo has divine protection in his body, but
What is the nature of gods? We simply have no way of knowing.
So my opinion is, plan for that."
If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.
Demiurge suggested: "In my humble opinion, Feifei's identity is the best choice to get close to the opponent."
Having said this, Demiurge's cunning face couldn't help but show deep admiration.
He raised his head, his face seemed to be flushed with excitement, "Sir Ainz must have anticipated this situation beforehand, so he became active in the human world as the adventurer Momon, right?"
Ainz was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Ah, yes, that's it...that's right."
but.
He pretended to be serious on his face, but he had already started roaring in his heart.
"Where is this going?"
"I just want to go out to collect information and experience the feeling of becoming an adventurer. Who would have thought that this situation would happen!"
"No, you can't show it too obviously, otherwise Demiurge and the others will find out..."
Feeling certain in his heart, Ainz smiled bitterly, "Although I had expected it, it still feels very tricky to actually encounter this situation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guardians below couldn't help but retort.
"Although modesty is a virtue, Lord Ainz, a supreme being like you does not have to be so."
"That's right!"
"That... I feel the same way."
"If Ainz-sama is really troubled, I am willing to help you eliminate all dangers and nip the crisis in the bud."
"That's so rude, Shalltear. Do you think Ainz-sama is unable to kill him with his strength?"
"Ah...Ainz-sama, I never meant this."
"So - a lamprey like you will never be favored by Lord Ainz."
"What did you say, big-mouthed gorilla? Do you dare to say it again!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Ainz felt a little dizzy.
Just about to speak.
‘Ice Martial God’ Setkos angrily rebuked: “You are so outrageous, now in front of Lord Ainz!”
In an instant, all sounds disappeared.
Ainz opened his mouth on the throne, but in the end he said nothing.
He coughed lightly, "We must face the threat of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Moreover, I am not as powerful as you think."
Before the guardians could retort, Ainz said decisively: "Okay, what I want to hear is not your evaluation of me, but your decision on the current situation. No one will always be invincible, and no one will always be immortal.
, remember this well.”
Hearing this, Demiurge's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Lord Ainz, you have really thought deeply. Haha, it turns out you are using this method to test us."
Ainz:???
WTF?
How long has it been and you are still here as the Riddler?
His heart was boiling with anxiety, but Ainz acted extremely calm.
The guardians all looked puzzled.
On the other hand, Albedo, after thinking for a while, looked at the huge skeleton on the throne with admiration, "Lord Ainz, you are really... ah, you are indeed the man I can trust with my whole life."
so--
What on earth did I hint to you?
Can you give me a little bit of information?
Under the strong emotional fluctuations, green fluorescent light once again shone on Ainz.
After calming down, the Bone King held up his head with one hand and said calmly: "As expected of Demiurge, it seems that you have understood what I meant. In this case, I allow you to convey my profound meaning to the other guardians.
"
Demiurge bowed his head deeply and said, "I will obey your will."
After saying that, the demon who represented cunning and cruelty stood up, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at the many guardians with a smile, "Do you really think that Lord Ainz has nothing to do against that messenger of God?"
The guardians didn't know why, and their eyes were full of doubts.
Demiurge shook his head slightly, "Only Nazarik is glorious and immortal, and even the gods cannot change this fact. What's more, our potential enemy is just a messenger of God...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the final analysis, he is just a human being.
Even if he reaches the so-called hero level, how long can he live?"
"Oh——" Those guardians understood somewhat.
The biggest factor restricting human growth is its own lifespan.
Let alone the undead like Ainz and Shalltear. Dark elves like Aura and Mare alone have hundreds or even thousands of years of life.
Thousands of years later, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is still standing.
And what about the so-called messengers of God?
I'm afraid it has already turned into a handful of loess.
Therefore, whether it is a prophecy or a blessing, as long as the Great Tomb does not have a direct conflict with the man named Jojo, sooner or later, this crisis will disappear.
"The reason Lord Ainz conveyed this news to us so solemnly is because he wanted to observe how we guardians would react when faced with a crisis."
Having said this, Demiurge couldn't help but shook his head, "I have to say, we... are really disappointed."
He laughed at himself: "As the chief think tank of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, I didn't realize Lord Ainz's deep meaning right away."
After saying that, he knelt down on one knee again, faced the huge skeleton at the top, and lowered his head humbly, "This subordinate is guilty."
Ainz:⊙w⊙
Really, I'm stupid.
I am definitely not trying to test your reaction in the face of crisis, but I am really numb and want to get some help from you.
but.
With the foreshadowing of 'Brain Booster' Demiurge, no matter how stupid Ainz was, he would not admit his previous gaffe. He just coughed lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, Demiurge, your reaction has exceeded mine."
It’s great to be able to understand my profound meaning in such a short period of time.”
"This is really... embarrassing for my subordinates." Demiurge said in fear.
If you look closely, you will find that the devil's body is trembling slightly, much like those well-behaved children who have been recognized by their parents.
Facing Demiurge like this, Ainz had a huge headache.
He knew very well that his true intelligence was far from being as far-sighted as Demiurge or Albedo.
Sometimes, he even doubted whether he could lead the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick well.
Especially after the messenger of God appeared, this feeling became even stronger.
Looking down at Demiurge who was kneeling on one knee, he pondered for a moment and said: "So Demiurge, as the think tank of the Salic Underground Tomb, what exactly are we going to do now?
what is it then?"
Hearing this, Demiurge carefully recalled Lord Ainz's words and deeds after the meeting. He smiled slightly and said confidently: "Didn't Lord Ainz tell me the answer to this question?"
here we go again!
What exactly did I express?
Ainz had a headache that made him want to hit the wall.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only ask, "No... I didn't expect you to have guessed it, Demiurge."
Demiurge looked proud, "Yes, Ainz-sama! If I can't understand your deep meaning, then it will undoubtedly be a great dereliction of duty for my subordinates."
"Is that so? That's the one, right?"
"Yes, that's the one!"
"Um... that..."
"Yes, that one!"
So, which one is it?
Even though the conversation was very sterile, in just this moment, ‘forced calm’ had been activated no less than three or four times.
Not only was Ainz confused, the other guardians were also puzzled.
Demiurge lowered his head and said, "Lord Ainz, please allow me to convey your insights to other guardians."
Ainz waved his hand tiredly, "Just do it, Demiurge."
Demiurge stood up as before and said to the other guardians: "Actually, Ainz-sama's answer is already obvious, that is - Feifei."
Feifei?
Isn’t that Ainz-sama’s identity in the human world? What does it have to do with the next plan of action in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick?
Facing doubtful looks, Demiurge said with admiration: "Let's not care about the degree of truth of that prophecy. Simply speaking, Jojo, a human being, must be under our control at all times.
So, how to control such a human being with special protection?
The answer is - approach him as a companion and let him grow or die in our carefully designed script."
As he said that, the demon pushed up his glasses, "Speaking of which, we don't know much about the divine protection in Jojo's body. I'm afraid it would be difficult to kill the other party silently. So, let's follow our ideas.
It’s better to guide him to grow.”
But isn't Jojo an enemy? Why should we guide him to grow?
Most of the guardians had this question in their minds.
Demiurge smiled and patiently explained: "If I explain it differently, you might understand.
All in all, he is the guinea pig we keep in the box. Perhaps he will become extremely powerful, and even be at the top of all humans, becoming the strongest existence in history.
However, he has never been able to escape the 'box' we carefully designed for him."
Demigoius stretched out a hand behind his back and slowly closed his fingers, "We must ensure that his life trajectory is controlled by us. During this process, we can place people around him. When necessary,
You can even provide him with a "demon king" that needs to be defeated to fulfill the prophecy."
oh--
The guardians suddenly understood.
After coming back to their senses, they looked at the tall figure sitting as firmly as a mountain on the throne with excitement on their faces.
Lord Ainz is indeed as wise as the vast ocean!
Little did they know that Ainz, who was as wise as the vast ocean in the hearts of many guardians and had alone illuminated the world for eternity, was completely dumbfounded.
Now all he can think about is one sentence
——Is this fucking okay?
But having said that, Demiurge's proposal is indeed very attractive.
emmm, since we’ve already said it here, why not ask for some more specific details.
Ainz crossed his fingers as if he was testing the opponent's knowledge, "So Demiurge, besides Momon and Nabe, who else do you think would be better to place next to the opponent?"
Demiurge thought for a while, "Human emotions have always been their greatest weakness. Perhaps, we can send someone who is good at seducing people's hearts..."
Halfway through the words, all the guardians turned their attention to Albedo, the chief guardian.
Good at seducing people?
That must be because the succubus has not escaped.
But Albedo looked reluctant.
Because she has devoted her whole body and soul to the man on the throne.
Let her seduce others? And a human being as humble as an ant? How is that possible!
Ainz also felt something was wrong.
It's not that he has any strange possessiveness towards Albedo, or that he feels depressed about being ntr, but that he simply regards these NPCs left behind by his companions as his own children.
How can any father let his daughter seduce others?
No, no!
Demiurge was good at observing people and knew that his proposal was not liked by the Supreme Being. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he changed his words: "Lord Ainz, what I mean is... control a human, and then let him
He went to seduce jojo."
He pushed up his glasses, "Through the intelligence collection of the shadow demon during this period, I learned that there is a princess known as 'gold' in the kingdom.
