Xiaolin defeated the wise king of the forest.
This incident had a great impact on everyone.
The first was [Sword of Darkness] and others. They never expected that Xiaolin's strength could reach such a high level.
Although each move is not as powerful and powerful as Momo's, and he does not even use powerful martial arts and skills, the connection between each movement is extremely smooth and smooth, like an extremely precise gear. Maybe his strength has reached the level of fine steel. adventurer.
Everyone once again deepened their determination to let him leave the team after returning and not to continue to hinder Xiaolin's future development.
As for Momo, his whole body was numb.
He originally asked Ma Lei to drive away the wise king of the forest to put on a show in order to gain fame and enhance his reputation. He never expected that Xiao Lin would win easily.
You can understand that the Forest Wise King is a low-level monster, but wouldn't all his show be in vain? He was already thinking in his heart whether he should find a slightly more powerful monster and put on another show.
As for Narberal, her eyes were extremely cold, and she kept looking at the Forest Wise King as if she were looking at a dead object.
In her opinion, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is a superior existence to humans. Even if the Forest Wise King just joins, he should not lose. It is a crime worthy of death to embarrass Lord Ainz.
Narberal decided to speak to Lord Ainz and execute this useless hamster when she returned to town.
Only the wise king of the forest is the most aggrieved.
At the beginning of the battle, it was fine. He released the water and used force, and then with a snap, he was knocked unconscious very quickly, without even a chance to react.
People...squirrels are going to collapse.
Fortunately, Momo will still use it as a medal to show off for the time being, and has no plans to give up on it for the time being. After understanding it clearly, Shushu's fragile little heart can temporarily relax.
Return to Karn Village and prepare to stay.
According to the decision made when arriving, we would stay one night on the way to Karn Village, spend one night in Karn Village, and then leave the village the next morning to return to [E-Rantel], which ended the three-day and two-night journey.
Xiaolin also chatted with Enri in the evening, intentionally or unintentionally asking for information about Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, I don’t know whether this village girl is really talented and has achieved inhuman growth in a very short period of time, or whether she has been warned many times not to say anything, but every time she passed it off vaguely. Instead, praise the other person.
Seeing that Enri was as fanatical as the Axis cultists, Xiaolin knew that no matter how good his words were, he would not be able to get out the key information, so he had to give up in the end.
The next day, everyone returned.
Unlike when they came, they encountered no danger along the way, and they didn't know if it was because the Wise King of the Forest was too intimidating.
By the way, does it really exist?
Ainz thought silently.
Returning to the town in the evening, the town has gradually revealed its night appearance.
The main road was illuminated by white street lamps with permanent light. The pedestrians on the road had changed. Young women and children were no longer visible, and most of the men were returning home after work. The cheerful sounds and lights come from the shops lined up on both sides of the street.
Ainz looked around for a moment.
There seemed to be no change in the town after three days. No, after arriving at [E-Rantel], I went to Karn Village the next day, so I didn’t have enough knowledge and attachment to compare, but I still felt the peaceful street scene. Still unchanged.
Turning around the corner from the main road, Ainz and his party stopped.
Stopping in the middle of a pedestrian street would definitely block the road, but no one complained. That was because no one came close to Ainz and his group.
Ainz hunched over weakly and observed the people around him. Almost all the pedestrians were looking at Ainz... no, to be precise, it was the wise king of the forest that Ainz was riding, and he was whispering to the people next to him.
There was a din of discussion in my ears, which felt like mockery. But it's just a misunderstanding. If you listen carefully, you can see that everyone is talking with a tone of surprise, admiration, and fear.
Even so, he still couldn't let go.
If we use an analogy, this feeling is like sitting solemnly on a merry-go-round without family members, looking lonely into the distance.
What kind of punishment game is this? !
"Mr. Momo, please hold your chest up and your head up."
"Mr. Xiaolin?"
"You are the one who conquered the wise king of the forest. If you don't hold your head high, you will let everyone down."
"……I see."
Krillin's reminder made Ainz realize that he had taken a roundabout way to show off just for the sake of fame. If he was timid at this time and gave people a bad impression, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, he held his chest up and raised his head like a general returning from a victorious battle.
Seeing him like this, people on both sides of the street once again exclaimed in admiration - what a majestic combination of a giant monster with pearly white fur and a warrior in pitch black armor!
With his excellent eyesight, Luke Root had already seen many people turning around and leaving to report the situation to certain people in the shadows of the streets and alleys.
Completely famous.
Peter said to Enfilia: "Now that we have returned to the town, the commission is over."
"Yes, you are right. This way the commission is over. So although I have prepared the stipulated reward, I still have to pay the additional reward agreed upon in the forest. Can you please come to my store? "
The carriage behind Enfilia was piled high with many medicinal herbs. Not only that, but there are also various harvests such as tree bark, strange fruits that look like tree branches, giant mushrooms big enough for a person to hug, tall grass, etc.
If you look at it in the eyes of people who don't understand it, they will only think it is a simple plant, but to knowledgeable people...such as Xiaolin, this is simply a shining treasure mountain.
These are all given by the wise king of the forest.
After it was subdued by Ainz, everyone could safely search the area of influence it controlled, where they found a variety of very precious herbs and medicinal materials that could be used to make other potions. Enfilia, who kept collecting, promised everyone that there would be more Give them a lot of money.
Nfilia also said that he could convert it into medicinal materials and pay it to Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin refused.
Theory is theory, practice is practice.
Xiao Lin has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but his ability to make potions is much worse. After all, he has magic that is more effective than potions, so he is not jealous of these herbs.
Then Peter said: "Mr. Momo, do you want to go to the guild first?"
"Yes, that's right. Because if you want to bring the monsters to the town, you need to register with the guild for the Forest Wise King." Ainz nodded.
"Although it's troublesome, there's nothing we can do about it."
Peter understood.
This is also a clear rule among adventurers. Monsters or pets must be registered with the adventurer, otherwise they will be treated as ownerless potential sources of danger and eliminated.
Even if he is the supreme master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, if he wants to continue developing in the adventurer field, he must abide by this rule.
"correct."
Ainz thought of something and said to Peter: "We also wiped out the ogres and other monsters together. How about it? Do you want to go to the guild together first?"
"Well... no, all the work this time depends on Mr. Momo. Let's go to Mr. Nfilia's house first. We must at least help make some sundries and unload herbs. Otherwise, we will receive the same remuneration as Mr. Momo. It doesn’t make sense.”
"That's right."
[Sword of Darkness] Everyone and Ainz nodded in response to Peter's words.
Nfilia interjected somewhat politely: "No need to bother you, I myself..."
"Since there is additional compensation, let us do this for free."
Peter said as if joking.
Enfilia was also respectful rather than obeying orders.
"Then when you come to the store to buy potions, let's just say it's cheaper for you."
"That's really gratifying. Then please go to the guild, Mr. Momo, and then go to Nfilia's house. We will go directly to handle the chores and then go to the guild to go through the formalities. Because we have to go to the guild to apply and collect the raid food until tomorrow. As a reward for the human demon, I'm sorry to ask you to go to the guild again tomorrow...if we have a time, let's agree on the time when we first meet, okay?"
"learn."
Faced with this proposal, Ainz nodded with relief.
All you need to do to register is just ask the counter casually, but I really don't want to go to the guild with them and be faced with the dilemma of please write this, please read this. In this case, the previous hard work may be wasted.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Ainz nodded lightly, rode the Forest Wise King and Nfilia, separated from the [Sword of Darkness] and the others, and set off for the guild accompanied by Narberal.
At this time Narberal came over and asked: "Can you believe them?"
"It's not a big deal. Even if you are betrayed, the loss will only be the reward for killing the ogres. If you care about this little money, but you are considered stingy, the loss will be greater, right?"
He came here just to become famous. Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse if he was found to be narrow-minded?
But for the Supreme Being, who only has a few scattered steel coins in his pocket and may not have enough money for the hotel tonight, what he just said just feels like a slap in the face.
Forget it, don’t think about this.
"Let's go to the parade."
"yes."
Ainz rode the Forest Wise King and did not go directly to the guild. Instead, he walked around the town first.
This is what Xiao Lin told him. If you want to become famous, this is the best way to show off. Even if you are regarded as a clown in the circus, you must parade on the street like a majestic general, with your chest held high and your head raised.
the other side.
"Everyone, can I leave for a while?"
"What's wrong, Xiaolin?"
"Because this is my first time doing a mission, and I will be there for two or three days, my family may be worried..."
"I understand, you go ahead and we will meet at Enfilia's house."
Xiao Lin's just right embarrassment and difficulty made the group of [Sword of Darkness] quickly understand that it was exactly the same as when they first ventured.
Because they were inexperienced rookies, many of them died on their first mission. Therefore, their families were very worried and had to go back to report that they were safe.
They've all been through the same thing.
Luke Root looked at Xiao Lin's retreating back and asked curiously: "Does he have family here? By the way, isn't Xiao Lin a down-and-out noble? Why haven't I heard of any nobles in this town?"
"Who knows? If you are interested, just ask him when he comes back."
"Right."
Dyne's answer made him put aside his inner confusion and walked towards Enfilia's home with his companions.
As for Xiao Lin, of course he has no family in this city. He hurriedly left the team just to communicate with "Yue" and convey information.
While Momo and Nabe are away, without arousing their suspicion.
Walk quickly down the street.
Soon, he came to the best hotel in [E-Rantel], and under the guidance of the waiter, he went to the hidden room again to meet a certain girl.
"Good evening, Monica."
"It's "Yue", Mr. Lin. "
"...You are still as rigid as ever."
Lin shook his head helplessly.
He is dedicated to his work and can meticulously complete the tasks assigned to him. He is undoubtedly the best subordinate. However, Xiaolin's expectations for him are not subordinates, but family, friends, and like-minded partners.
But now is not the time to talk about that.
"Lord Lin, there is news about Clementine, the former ninth seat of [Slian Theocracy] [Wind Breaking]..."
"No, that's not why I came here this time."
Weiwei interrupts her report.
Only then did Monica discover that Mr. Lin had not even turned on the barrier magic that he used every time to prevent eavesdropping. After realizing this, she began to blame herself for her carelessness.
"Come and see this," Lin said.
With a confused expression, Monica slowly came to Lin's side and looked from the window in the direction of his finger.
"Is that the Dark Warrior?"
Just now, "Yue" handed over the information that someone had conquered the wise king of the forest.
This is not difficult information to collect. After all, the dark warrior below is still parading, and anyone who is not blind can see it.
"His name is Momo. I have been on a mission to collect herbs with him in the past two days. He is very strong, even stronger than Gazef. At least he is a strong man who has entered the realm of heroes."
"Master Lin means..."
"I need him, the princess needs him, and the Axis Cult needs him."
"I understand, I will instruct "Bird" to collect information about him. "
"please."
This matter is usually done by the "flower" as a guard, but now is a special period, so it doesn't matter.
"As for Clementine..."
"Sorry, we didn't find her."
"It's okay. At least I know who her target is and have been in contact with that person. As long as I'm around, she will definitely expose her traces."
"learn."
Monica nodded.
This was also part of the previous plan.
"Okay, let's do this for now." Lin closed the window and said to her: "I will be at Nfilia's house in the next few days. If anything happens, go find me there."
"Yes, I understand."
After leaving the location of the summons, Lin immediately left the hotel and headed for Nfilia's home. He didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy.
Then--
When he arrived at Nfilia's house, what he saw was not his companions who welcomed him with smiling faces, but grotesque cold and miserable corpses on the ground, as well as dark warriors in front of their corpses.
I remember last year when the firecrackers were going off outside, I was writing Zhan Chi. This year, when the firecrackers were going off outside, I was writing about Bone King. I was really numb.
