Chapter 57: You will not survive if you do it yourself Seeing that Ainz finally reluctantly took off his mask under the pressure of the king's righteousness, Baron Alziru, who thought he had achieved a small victory, couldn't help but smile proudly.
However, he has not forgotten what his responsibilities are.
"Then, now let's convey His Majesty's will."
Baron Alzirou said.
At the same time, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms.
After confirming the wax seal with the royal crest printed on it, he respectfully handed it to Ann with both hands.
In front of you.
In contrast, Ainz also stretched out his hand to take the parchment.
In his opinion, this was a matter of course.
But in the eyes of Baron Alziru, such behavior is simply treason.
"What are you doing" Baron Alziru hurriedly put the parchment back and asked Ainz in surprise what he meant.
He was not giving the parchment to Ainz just now, he was just showing Ainz the royal crest printed on the wax seal.
Because a long time ago, there were bold thieves in various countries who forged edicts and deceived people everywhere.
Therefore, before later envoys read out the edict, they would ask the person receiving the edict to look at the wax seal with the royal crest printed on the parchment roll to show that the edict was genuine.
Even the lowest maids and guards in the palace are aware of such things, but why does this guy in front of him seem to know nothing about it?
Therefore, even the warrior captain Gazef standing next to him looked at Ainz with a look of embarrassment on his face, not knowing what to say.
"What's wrong?"
Ainz's voice contained confusion and displeasure.
It was obvious that he really didn't know the rules.
As a result, Baron Alziru's mood became even worse.
During this brief contact, he thought he had fully understood Ainz.
Ur.
The essence of Gong's character: his words are vulgar, his behavior is rude, he is ignorant of all kinds of conventional etiquette, and he is worse than ordinary people.
In other words, Baron Alziru to Ainz.
Ur.
The evaluation of Gong as a character has fallen to the same level as a vulgar barbarian, a dirty barbarian who eats directly with his hands without using a knife or fork.
However, the fact that such a lowly and vulgar person was wearing gorgeous clothes that he could not afford to spend all his money filled Baron Alziru's heart with resentment and jealousy.
And the look in Ainz's eyes made him look like he was seeing some low-level creature.
"Okay, now let's convey His Majesty's will."
Baron Alziru stood back to his original position and announced to Ainz in a colder and harder voice than before.
At the same time, he tore the wax seal and opened the parchment.
Ainz was about to listen, but the other party spoke in a particularly cold voice, as if a policeman was scolding a criminal.
"Then why don't you kneel down?"
For a moment, Ainz felt as if his head was exploding with a "buzz".
He actually wanted to kneel down.
Does this old man know who he is talking to?
Well, okay, this bad old man seems to really know nothing.
"Didn't you hear that I deigned to come to a rural place like this to convey His Majesty's will?
You should also show corresponding etiquette."
Seeing that Ainz was stunned and unresponsive, Baron Alziru let out another angry roar.
This made Ainz feel like a black flame was igniting in his heart, but in the end he chose to tolerate it again.
For a Japanese who is accustomed to kneeling on the tatami, kneeling down is not a heavy shame.
Then, Ainz knelt down and sat upright, just like he had done before the time travel.
This once again made Baron Alzirou couldn't help but sneer in his heart full of superiority: The correct etiquette is to kneel down on one knee.
What does this ignorant fool kneel down on both legs?

Alas, although I already knew that the other party had no education, this was the first time I had seen him so ignorant.
Baron Alziru thought so, and at the same time he opened the parchment and read the content written on it by the king himself.
To be honest, the article was quite complex and difficult to pronounce, using a lot of inexplicable allusions, and the tone of the speaker was also very strange.
Although it sounded cadenced, like singing the coloratura of an opera, it made people more and more confused as they listened, so that An In the end, I didn’t understand what it said at all.
Therefore, after finally taking the parchment, Ainz had no choice but to ask again: Thank you for reading it out, but what exactly does this edict say?
As a result, Baron Alziru finally couldn't help laughing, but he still managed to explain: To put it simply, Ainz was conferred the title of court baron, and he was ordered to report to the royal capital within a month, and then be divided.
Sent to a certain count's men to charge into battle "Why do you want me to go to the royal capital to work as an errand?
So what should I do here in Kahn Village, um, I should say Kahn Town?"
Although it is true that he lacks some basic social understanding of the world and the common sense of communication in aristocratic circles, Ainz has been an office worker after all, and he is very familiar with the intrigues of various office politics.
It is definitely not something that can be manipulated casually.
Fool.
So he was confused.
The ruling class of this kingdom was already in turmoil.
How could they still dare to despise a strong man like himself?
He actually thought that with just a piece of edict and an empty title, he could work for them.
But Baron Alziru really regarded Ainz as a fool: This guy doesn't even understand basic etiquette.
He obviously has no education, no knowledge, no noble blood, and a bad brain.
He is just a powerful barbarian. , not qualified to be treated with caution at all.
"Of course, we need to seal up the warehouse, clean up the account books, and wait for the royal capital to send someone to take over this land.
This land is the property of the kingdom.
Do you still regard it as your own territory?
Stealing His Majesty the King's property without authorization is a capital crime for treason. " Baron Alziru declared with a matter-of-fact expression, while Warrior Captain Gazef gave Ainz a helpless expression.
As a result, the anger in Ainz's heart suddenly burned brightly.
However, after looking at the situation around him, he didn't immediately explode.
Instead, he decided to deal with it reluctantly.
He put on the mask again, and at the same time made a gesture to let the dragon steward Sebas who was guarding the door come in.
"I have understood the king's will.
Please follow me to your humble residence to rest.
I have prepared some wine to entertain you."
"It's long overdue," Baron Alzirou said arrogantly, "Do you want to get in the carriage with me and go away?"
"No, horse-drawn carriage, that's too slow.
I have a more convenient means of transportation here."
Ainz replied, asking Sebas to bring a huge mirror in from outside the door.
This mirror is as tall as an ordinary person, and the outer frame is carved with fine patterns, but the scenery reflected in the mirror cannot be seen, only a colorful film that shines with golden light.
"What on earth is this?"
Ainz felt the anger that was slowly burning in his heart subside a little towards Baron Alziru who made a surprised sound.
"It's a magic item.
Its purpose is to transfer space.
Opposite the mirror is my residence.
Please come inside."
Ainz said, and at the same time he led the way into the mirror, while Baron Alziru and Warrior Gazef took a brief look.
Hesitantly, he followed closely behind.
The next moment, they found themselves in an extremely splendid and wonderful place.
Well, this is a very spacious corridor with no windows on both sides, but it is decorated with various tapestries and flags.
The floor under the feet is carefully polished marble, and there is a colorful velvet carpet in the middle.

Even the ceilings are painted with exquisite patterns and colorful murals.
Then, on both sides of the corridor, dozens of maids with stunning beauty stood, bowing together to say hello to the guests: "Welcome."
Baron Alziru was stunned for a moment, standing here blankly with his mouth open.
Even in the palace, it is difficult to see such a luxurious place.
The tall and magnificent corridors and the beauties lined up side by side are as brilliant as a dream, as if you have entered a fantasy world.
He and Soldier Gazef walked through this luxurious corridor almost in a daze, and then entered an even more luxurious hall.
The magic crystal chandelier on the ceiling emits a bright light, and there is not a trace of dust on the pure white jade floor.
The long dining table is covered with luxurious tablecloths embroidered with gold and silver threads, and is decorated with beautiful artificial flowers made of colorful silk.
Every seat is carved and polished like a work of art, and other furniture is also decorated in a very stylish way.
There are also several exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls.
The themes are flowers and landscapes, as well as fairy-like figures.
Half naked girl.
Even the corners of the fireplace are inlaid with a pair of lifelike glass birds.
Baron Alziru and Warrior Captain Gazef were almost dumbfounded as they looked at everything in front of them, feeling that even the king's palace was nothing more than that.
And the maids walking through the hall like fluttering butterflies were much more beautiful than the palace maids they remembered.
So, the two of them just stood there, unable to say a word.
"Please come over here.
The dishes are not ready yet.
Let's drink some juice first."
Ainz pointed to the dining table gracefully.
At this time, the table was empty.
No food had been placed.
There was only a set of teapots and cups on a silver plate.
They were all top-quality white porcelain, with colorful paintings on the edges.
The gorgeous patterns are truly a treasure that His Excellency the Baron has never seen before.
However, treasures like this that should have been kept in the cupboard were taken out to entertain guests without any concern, which shows the financial resources of the owner of this place.
Sensing the sense of superiority hidden in Ainz's words, Baron Alziru felt an unknown fire burning in his heart.
If a prince or king owned such a luxurious hall, he might feel admiration and admiration.
But for such a lowly and vulgar barbarian to own a luxurious house that he could not even imagine, this really irritated the Baron's pride.
"It's incredible how you built such a luxurious house in just a few months."
In Baron Alziru's imagination, he should be in the newly built mage tower outside the town at this moment.
But that's not the case.
This is the most luxurious and gorgeous "Royal Suite" on the ninth floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, ten kilometers away from the town.
"Besides, it's obviously daytime now, why don't you open the windows here and turn on the lights instead?
Isn't it too wasteful?"
Baron Alcirou looked at this luxurious hall critically and said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Well, this place is actually located underground, so you can't open the windows.
Moreover, this room was not built recently, but has been completed for many years."
Ainz didn't seem to hear the baron's sarcasm, and just said happily He introduced, “This is the work that my colleagues and I are most proud of.”
"So, how did you get so much property?"
Baron Alziru said with a stiff voice.
"Of course I got it during adventures with my friends."
Ainz said calmly and proudly.
This place is the guild base in the game.
Naturally, he and his player friends fight monsters, upgrade, and collect treasures together.

What he had just saved up for money was his last memory of his past life.
But in Baron Alziru's mind, it was something else: obviously, this magnificent underground hall should have been an ancient ruin that originally existed, and was excavated by this guy named Ainz. , and took it for themselves in a big way.
As for the various luxurious items displayed around, they were probably dug out from the ruins, or purchased with the money dug out from the ruins.
It’s really unreasonable.
How can a mere untouchable occupy such a huge wealth?
We should immediately pay tribute to nobles like them.
When he thought of this, his mood became more and more unbalanced.
"I see.
But, although you have accumulated such amazing wealth, have you ever paid taxes?"
"Ha" Ainz couldn't help but be stunned by Baron Alziru's sudden question.
"I'm asking if you have paid taxes properly.
This is the territory of the kingdom and is governed by the laws of the kingdom.
Since you live here, you should pay taxes on any wealth you have, etc.
Even this house You also occupied it illegally, right?"
Baron Alziru spat and cursed, "Whether it is the above-ground towns or the underground ruins, they are all property of the kingdom without the approval of the court.
How can you steal the things inside, you damn thief?"
"" Ainz seemed a little dizzy from being scolded, and remained silent for a while.
Baron Alziru continued to pursue the victory: "Ignoring what happened before, even now you are just a palace baron without a fief.
How can you illegally occupy the territory of the kingdom and seize the property belonging to the kingdom?
According to the law, This is " "Wait a minute, Lord Alziru, that's enough."
Warrior Captain Gazef, who was also in a daze because of this inexplicable conflict, finally came to his senses and spoke to try to smooth things over, "As a guest, , how can you treat your master like this?”
"Guest, are you confused, sir?
This is clearly the property of the kingdom that has been stolen by thieves.
It belongs to His Majesty the King.
I am scolding the thieves out of loyalty to the king."
Baron Alziru roared, spitting fiercely on the floor at the same time.
He spat.
"As a favorite of the king, the warrior chief, don't you know how empty the treasury is in order to cope with today's war against the undead, and the soldiers are also underpaid and have no food to eat?
However, under such circumstances, , but someone has stolen a large amount of property belonging to the country and squandered it."
He pointed at Ainz and scolded him righteously.
"This" soldier Gazef was a little confused for a long time.
Listening to this statement, it seems that he can take the opportunity to extract some money from Ainz.
In this way, the logistics supply will be more abundant.
The current battle situation may It won't be so tight, right?
Therefore, his attitude began to waver, and the eyes he looked at Ainz became increasingly unkind.
At the same time, Ainz's shoulders began to tremble greatly, and it took a while before he straightened his body again.
"That's enough.
I have no intention of playing with you anymore."
There was no emotion in the calm voice, but it was enough to make people shudder.
"I don't think I am a great person, so it doesn't matter even if you look down on me.
Even if you insult me occasionally, I can barely tolerate it.
But my patience has its limits.
What do you think of me?
You scumbags. " Hearing these unabashedly vicious words, Baron Alziru and Warrior Captain Gazef both took a deep breath.
But at the moment, their mentality was relatively calm, because based on Ainz's previous obedience to royal orders, it was probably nothing more than grumbling at best.

And Baron Alziru believed that since he had the majesty of the royal power on his side, this guy who didn't know etiquette should be unable to do anything no matter how powerful he was.
Thinking about it this way, he began to think about how to punish Ainz for his rudeness.
But the next moment, Baron Alziru realized that he had thought wrong.
"Since you don't want to enjoy my hospitality, then go drink with the God of Death and kill this guy."
The maids who were dragging the dining cart over immediately retreated after hearing this.
And in the corridor behind them, there were ominous footsteps.
Baron Alziru was stunned for a moment and looked at Ainz in disbelief: "Asshole, do you know what you are talking about?
I am His Majesty's envoy.
Do you think His Majesty will forgive you?
Kneel down and apologize, otherwise I will let Your Majesty You will be punished with death” Ainz snorted, looked at Baron Alziru, and spoke in a calm, really calm tone, "So what?"
In that low tone, there was clearly a burning murderous intent.
"Since you mistook my politeness as weakness, then pay the price for your stupidity.
No one can save you."
The trump card that he thought was invincible was easily broken, and Baron Alziru's mind went blank.
And Warrior Captain Gazef finally realized that this didn't seem to be an empty threat, and quickly stepped forward to try to persuade him.
"Please wait a moment, Ainz-dono.
Please don't be angry.
I'm really sorry.
Can you accept our apology?
Although he said some rude words just now, he is the king's messenger after all.
Please be patient."
"I can't bear it except the screams and curses.
I don't want to hear anything anymore."
Ainz reached out and waved his hand, and a huge werewolf swooped in from outside the corridor and bit Baron Alziru's head into pieces.
On the other side, Wang Qiu, a max-level cheat player who had been squatting at Ainz's feet pretending to be a pet cat, also raised his paws and threw a black hole spell at the still dazed Warrior Commander Gazef, making him unable to Before he had time to react, he was gone.
Kill important plot characters, inside.
Gazef Stronov, the warrior captain of the Yestije Kingdom, received 5,000 reward points.
Then, looking at Gazef's original position, Ainz was silent for a while before asking, "Why did you kill him too?"
"We've already killed Zhengshi, do you still want to be friends with him?"
Tabby cat mage Wang Qiu replied calmly.
Ainz was silent for a while, and finally sighed quietly, "Well, no matter what, you did the right thing.
But after all, he is the first famous person I met in this world.
How should I say this to the first meeting?
People can only have the same feeling as looking at insects, but deep down After we started talking to him, we felt as attached to him as we do to a small animal.
Although we knew we couldn't be friends, we originally wanted to have a drink with him one last time and entertain him, forget it.
After doing such a thing, you’d better prepare to clean up the end, Yuri.”
"Master Ainz," the headmaid of the Headless Horseman immediately stood up and replied.
"Ling the other members of the envoy to the mage tower outside the town, we will arrange for them to live there.
Then it will be your business."
Ainz lowered his head and glanced at Wang Qiu, "It's just a few kingdoms.
They are just miscellaneous soldiers, you guys who use cheat devices should be able to deal with them."
"No problem, I promise to kill them all without leaving any traces, meow."
Wang Qiu raised the cat's paw to express that it was no problem.
"The next step is to issue a notice to the residents of the town after everything is over, saying that the members of the mission were attacked by the undead on their way back, and unfortunately the entire army was wiped out, etc.
If this kingdom does not exist, then there will be no Is it necessary to post some kind of announcement?”

Ainz thought for a moment, suddenly changed his mind, and then activated message magic to contact the commander of the undead army, the demon gentleman Demiurge, who was far away on the battlefield.
"Demiurge, how can the situation on your side be resolved?"
Will we launch an attack on the royal capital soon?"
"Well, it may take a few days to adjust the deployment, but overall it should be fine."
Demiurge replied.
"Very well, Demiurge.
Gather all the undead creatures on your side outside the royal capital.
Then I will send you another reinforcement army from the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Next, attack the royal capital.
A general offensive must completely destroy this city.”
Ainz made a decision coldly: "When the weather gets colder, let this kingdom be destroyed."
Although he knew very well what kind of cruel scene this order would lead to, including mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Ainz didn't care at all.
Ever since he transformed into the body of the Lich King, he gradually no longer felt taboo about acts such as massacre.
It's not that Ainz has become fond of violence and killing, it's just that he no longer feels that he is the same species as humans.
Killing someone feels like killing an insect.
In his mind, even if he slaughtered all the humans in a city, it would be like a child flooding an ant nest with water.
He would not feel any guilt at all.
In the face-off conflict just now, the last trace of human spiritual consciousness that Ainz had barely retained in his heart was also annihilated.
At this point, he finally got rid of the "residues" of human thought and truly became an evil demon king with the heart to destroy the world.
In the late autumn of this year, after half a year of tug-of-war, Li.
The capital of the Kingdom of Yestije was finally captured by the undead army, and the old king died of fear on the eve of the city's destruction.
Although there were still a few princes and princesses who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the end of the country's fate was inevitable.
Suddenly, the countries were shaken and the world was in chaos.
However, the impact and fluctuations caused by all this have nothing to do with Wang Qiu and the others.
"I finally collected enough reward points.
It's cold and I've spent enough money.
Let's stop the game now."
There is another update in the evening, which is also the final chapter of this volume.
Stay tuned. oshow7:
