The defeat of the chief warrior, the defeat of the strongest adventurer, and the powerlessness of the knights caused a depressing atmosphere to spread within the royal capital.Although the war ended with the power of the dark warriors to defeat the demons, the remaining problems still corroded the foundation of the kingdom like a virus, and if the hearts of both the military and the people were shaken, the result would be terrible.By this grace, after the people had held a celebratory evening and worked all night, in the name of the king, the li&iddot; In the afternoon of this day, the kingdom of Jestijah is preparing to hold a real banquet.On the one hand, the banquet was to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and on the other hand, it was also to show the people the generosity of the royal family, so as to stabilize their rule.In such a banquet, the selection of a warrior commander to lead the warriors is a very important part, and it can be said that it is the core part of the whole plan.However, an hour before the banquet began, the Warrior of Pitch Black, who was supposed to be one of the centers of the plan&iddot; Fei Fei meets with the king and explains his thoughts, and the end result is that he refuses to be the captain of the knights and the guards.This premise made the king feel disappointed, but given Feifei's merits, it was naturally impossible for him to do anything threatening, not to mention that they didn't have that strength.Now the king has summoned his advisers and the two princes to his apartment, presumably to discuss the next plan, so as to better accomplish the original purpose.Knowing all this&iddot; The Third Princess of the Kingdom of Jestija & iddot; Lana strolled leisurely through the courtyard.Dressed in a long dress, she stared at the butterflies flapping their wings in the courtyard when Lana gave orders to those behind her."
Clem, can you catch those butterflies and let me see them up close?
Their wings resemble stained glass in the hall, so I wish you could see them more closely. ”"This me, I understand!!"
Unable to refuse this request, Clem is a young warrior who, as Princess Lana's bodyguard, will not only ensure her safety, but also try to meet her various requests.Seeing Clem's scrambling appearance, Lana, with an interested face, walked to the right and finally sat down on a bench.Although Clem is a fighter, he has no actual merits, and he trains very diligently every day, but unfortunately there are still a lot of clumsiness.Lana, who thought it was funny to be clumsy, couldn't help but look to her left, where instead of a maid and squire, she was standing a tall warrior in pitch-black armor who never showed her face."
Your Excellency Feifei, I hope you don't mind your father's request.""
Let me be a Warrior Captain?
I'm grateful that they're willing to hold me in such high esteem, but I have something to do lately and can't accept the position; Not to mention this, what is the reason why Princess Lana asked me to come over?
”Lana, who was not called by the king to talk, found the central point of conversation between her father and her brothers, and although she usually acted idle, she did not make a fool in a pinch."
What kind of person am I in the eyes of Your Excellency Feifei?""
A wise princess, of course.""
Thanks for the compliment, let's get to the point."
In front of the two men, Clem, who was very hard-working, was chasing the figure of the butterfly, and the butterflies in the courtyard did not fly away as if they were playing with him, but began to circle around.Staring at Clem's nervous cheeks, Lana, who laughed, continued the conversation just now."
Your Excellency Feifei will continue to stay in&iddot; The kingdom of Jestijah, right?
”"Why do you ask?""
Presumably, Your Excellency Feifei also knows that this kingdom and the surrounding countries are not some loving neighbors, but hostile forces that covet each other's land and wealth."
Lana, who played the role of a 'naïve princess with nothing to do' in front of outsiders, did not continue to wear a mask in front of Feifei, but ripped off a part of it."
I don't think it's surprising that non-aligned countries are naturally the ones to be excluded.""
Your Excellency Feifei is right, and it is precisely because of this that sufficient strength is needed."
Syllable!!!
Clam clapped his hands, but the butterflies in the courtyard dodged the attack."
It's useless if you kill them, Clem.""
I'm so sorry!
Your Highness the Princess!
”At this time, frequent footsteps were heard all over the castle, and it was the attendants preparing for the celebration.Lana sees the celebration as a game of chess for her father to turn the tide in order to regain confidence in the power of the royal family, rather than suspecting that the royal family has no power to protect the country.In such a plan, Feifei, who is an important member, has rejected his father's proposal, so Lana thinks about it."
Can you make a deal with me?
Your Excellency Feifei. ”"What does Her Highness want from me?""
Of course it's safe, you're a guarantee of safety if you defeat a powerful demon, and my friend's steel-level adventurer team "Cangqiang Rose" must have a big impact.""
Sounds like I'm going to work with the Rose."
Lana nodded."
They protect the royal capital, and they have also dragged the enemy's reinforcements before, and their strength is undoubted, if Your Excellency Feifei can cooperate, then it will definitely save the royal capital from all disasters.""
I think I'll think about it, after all, I've said before that there are things that need to be dealt with first.""
I understand this, does Lord Feifei think those demons will come back?"
Feifei, who was asked like this, looked into the distance."
At least the recent kings are safe, and as for the future, we will think about it later."
Feifei turned away."
After all, what we have to face is always in front of us."
After saying that, Feifei said that he was going to leave to run errands, and Lana, who could understand, also said goodbye to him.When the dark warrior disappeared around the corner of the courtyard, the girl who came out from the other side spoke."
That person always felt that there were a lot of suspicions on him.""
Lahaz, are your companions better?""
It's not a big deal, we can investigate, we have to figure it out this time.""
But don't do anything strange when you figure it out."
The captain of the "Blue Rose" who participated in the battle before&iddot; Lahise couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
”"If the secret they're hiding is valuable, isn't it a sign of cooperation?
In this era, even a weak ally is much better than a strong enemy, not to mention that the other party is not weak this time. ”Lahise thought in silence."
But there is a risk in investigating him, I will make detailed arrangements, and if there is a problem, we will talk about it later.""

Even if there's a problem, there's nothing we can do about it.""
This can't be denied."
In the last battle, Lahagi and her remaining companions were pinned down and suppressed by the demon's subordinates, and they were unable to make an effective counterattack, so it was impossible to threaten the dark warrior who defeated the strongest demon.Lana, who didn't continue the conversation, lifted her skirt slightly."
Instead of fighting, think about how to get along with each other, and I'm going to help."
With that, Lana ran out into the courtyard and began catching butterflies with Clem.———— because the king said that the national celebration would be held in the afternoon, so under the premise of the royal family, the maids and attendants in the castle had to prepare enough food, but this still could not meet the food needs of the whole city, so some chefs issued an order to let the civilian kitchens outside the castle also start work immediately, and provide good remuneration.The money paid by the people for their taxes went back to the people through the state treasury, but the people had to exchange them for their own ingredients."
A natural routine."
Ainz was walking through the streets of the castle, wagons full of cattle from all over the place, believing that in half an hour they would be raw materials for cooking.Now that it was about to arrive in the afternoon, in addition to the busy people, some knights also began to confirm the safety of the venue.The king would next give a speech on the high platform of the castle, so in order to guarantee that nothing would go wrong, they had to carry out more than three inspections.The soldiers all saw Ainz and greeted him as if they had met their superiors.Although Ainz was used to playing a murderous 'Supreme Supreme' in front of Yarbede and them, now that he has become a free adventurer, he has attracted attention and respect, and I have to say that he is a little uncomfortable, and he feels like he is bound.Under the warm greeting of the soldiers, Anz also had to raise his hand and leave the scene quickly.Just now, there was a message from Nabei's side, and Anzi, who learned about it, was also going to contact Gu Wu.The reason for this is that once the celebration is over, Ainz will be free to move as the 'Brave Man Who Saved the Kingdom'.Arriving at the street, Ainz walked to a corner where no one was around, and as he walked against the wall, he also took out the magic items for communication.The communication on the other side was quickly connected, and the overall sound was a bit lazy.
[Good afternoon, Mr.
Aintz, have you decided where you want to talk?]
】"It's at your hotel, and I'll go over as soon as the celebration begins."
[Then I don't have any opinion, I just don't have to go out.] 】In addition to this, Anz actually has one more thing to talk about with Gu Wu.He looked around, no one was being followed, and there was no smell of magic, so Ainz continued, "I've been targeted, and the princess must have some degree of suspicion of what I've done, so her ally, the 'Brier', will probably be investigating." ”[Funny guys, what will they do if our contact is discovered?]
Report with the above?
】"Probably not."
Once they tell the information they have, the royal capital will surely fall into complete chaos."
And no one necessarily believes it, after all, I am the hero who saved the royal capital, and they are just dragging the enemy."
[Long story short, what does Mr.
Ainz hope to do?]
】"Previously, the Rose and Dimiugos were all defeated in their battles, but I don't think that's enough, they need to recognize the reality, a 'don't interfere with my reality again'."
[I see. 】Gu Wu on the other side continued, [Actually, it is not difficult to understand, the strong are unwilling to accept the fact of being surpassed, so in their eyes, even if you save the royal capital, you may be a hidden enemy, so let's get them out at that time, and then I will kill one of them. 】It's not a show for the people to see, but for the strong to know the strength of Ainz."
It's a good plan, and I'll do my best if you need it after that."
[That's a good thing, after all, I'm worried that the 'first host' will leave something tricky.] 】"First human host?"
[After that, you'll understand.] 】The communication ended, and Ainz put away his props."
Let's end it today."
And the signal of the end is the signal of the beginning of the celebration.Who ———— kill?
Gu Wu drank the last glass of wine, his head was a little dazed, and he thought about such a question.Gu Wu, who had just finished talking to Anz, said that he would kill a member of the "Cang Rose", but he couldn't be sure for a while.At this time, a cold towel was thrown on Gu Wu's head, and looking back, he saw the silver-haired girl standing there with an unhappy face."
Even though I drank alcohol, it didn't taste good.""
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to clean up Miss Altair, and then Mr.
Ainz will come over to talk, remember to disguise yourself then.""
Someone might be following, and all we're going to do is kill one of the stalkers.""
Yes."
Altaïr didn't care, there was only one thing she cared about."
Can you go back in the evening?""
Yes, as long as the things left behind by the 'first host' are not too tricky, or even if they are tricky, they can be solved immediately, then they can go back as soon as possible.""
It's really unreliable, most of your seniors have problems."
Gu Wu shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't deny this.Gu Wu, who was wiping his cheeks with a towel, also began to use magic to dispel the smell of alcohol, and at this time, the streets outside the window also became lively."
People are already getting ready."
Gu Wu stared at the busy crowd, and then raised his gaze to look at the castle in the distance.Blurred figures were also running."
What are you going to do when you get back?""
I'm going to travel with Moment.""
Tourism?
Where to go?
”"It's none of your business.""
It's cold."
Gu Wu put the towel on his shoulder."
When it comes to traveling, it's a good decision, so let's go everywhere with them.""

If you're with them, there's going to be a problem.""
That's so bad, as long as you don't go to that kind of world with supernatural abilities."
Go to an ordinary world, and then spend an ordinary day.Of course, all of this is premised on figuring out the information that the 'first host' has."
That's it!
Cheer up!
”Gu Wu felt the wind blowing into the house outside the window, and he was ready to deal with all the problems!
