The Kingdom of Titania, the large underground cave in the center——
Although Star has created a personal time and space for himself that is convenient for hiding and not involving the surrounding areas when he is attacked, most ordinary work will still be done here for the sake of efficiency.
It's the same now.
"What, the Southern Holy Kingdom wants the right of first refusal for the technology and finished products we sell, can we pay more?" Star looked at the new fax text sent and repeated the gist.
Since the Fairy Temple in the Northern Holy Kingdom was expelled, Star was unable to obtain real-time battle reports there and did not know the progress of the war, but this did not prevent her from making correct assumptions.
She knows more or less about the remaining navy of the Southern Saint Kingdom. It can definitely not be defeated quickly by relying on the strength of the demi-humans. It should be said that this aspect is enough to form a generation gap. If there are no more external forces to intervene, the coaches of the Nan Saint Kingdom and the demi-humans will not be stupid.
It's enough to consume each other for two or three years.
At a time when the general territory has been occupied and fiscal revenue should be significantly reduced, there must be other reasons for being willing to increase money and being so eager to strengthen naval armaments.
"Mordred led the Northern Holy Kingdom's counterattack against the demihumans very smoothly, right? If this continues to establish prestige and gain support, the Southern Holy Kingdom's plan to establish a central government may fail. I want to bring "Ainz Ooal"
"Gong" is right. It's right to put it under your nose. It's better to tear each other off with the Theocracy and fight Nazarick in the future, but I'm not allowed to go too far. However, it's not worthwhile to support the Southern Holy Kingdom in vain. Then
So be it."
Star began drafting a reply.
"Although we all killed players back then, Pisi didn't have the foresight to keep any of them. I just kept it in mind, but the more samples the better. Let the Southern Saint Kingdom die in their country's Thirteen
Hand over the hero's body."
There is no cremation now, so even if it turns into a skeleton, it must be kept.
Finally, he noted that the confidentiality level was the highest. This was something only the rulers could know, and I believed they would not make stupid choices.

Principality of Bajas——
Ainz completed his mission of clearing out the monsters on the main road and returned to the capital city of Owental.
Now, there is considerable chaos everywhere in this newly established "country".
One is that public opinion that is unfavorable to them has spread too quickly, to the point where many civilians would rather give up the villages, towns, fields and other industries where their ancestors lived and flee.
The second is that there are almost no adventurers and mercenaries in this country who are engaged in exorcising monsters around the main roads. The function of the Fairy Temple is missing, so the principality government has to organize troops to complete these tasks most of the time.
But the army is an army after all. Even if they have powerful weapons, they cannot compare with the adventurers who understand monsters better. Many passers-by are too late to be rescued, and there are also casualties in the army. Rumors are spreading and panic among people.
It was only natural for a powerful "warrior" like Ainz to be reused and welcomed.
Francesca was basically doing indoor work and not teaming up with him, which made it easier for him.
"Master Feifei, thank you for your hard work. Welcome back." The guard at the city gate bowed to him.
"Yes. You have worked hard too." Ainz nodded very politely.
"In other words, compared to you, what we do is nothing but trivial and tiring things."
"It is precisely because of people like you who work little by little to protect the city that I can complete my work with confidence."
"Haha, thank you. Well, although everyone knows you, you still have to show your identity because you are armed."
"Here, the rules are the rules, and I should abide by them." Ainz took out the metal plate that registered adventurers in the principality and handed it to the guard at the door.
In fact, the principality wants to absorb them for its own use, but this can be left to Francesca, who is good at causing trouble from within.
Ainz did not want to get involved in the muddy waters of this doomed force and instead strive for prestige from the people. He only accepted the employment of the principality as an adventurer. Now that the temple function is missing, there are no adventurers who can take the place of protecting the people from monsters.
Popular crowd.
But this also caused him a little trouble.
After taking back the metal plate that the guard handed back respectfully, Ainz walked into the street. Many people greeted him, and some children ran over to him. Ainz, who wanted to maintain a good reputation, responded patiently and politely.
"Oh, why didn't I get this kind of treatment when I was on the streets when I was a noble? To be honest, I was not mentally prepared. Sure enough, the gap in status has a great impact on the distance between people." He thought.
But now, even if he goes back and continues to be a noble, he can't get closer to the people. It's not that he hasn't tried, but when he tries to lower himself, the people will kneel lower in fear. If Ainz squats down
If you talk to the people, they might just lie down on the ground.
When he returned to the residence arranged by the principality, a manservant in a tuxedo came to greet him and offered to help Ainz get his weapons and put them away.
This was a necessary measure for Ainz, who was not an official of the Principality or a bodyguard of an important person. Of course, in order to respond to emergencies at any time, weapons would not be hidden.
Ainz took off two long swords that were comparable to his tall stature from his back and handed them to the manservant, just like he had done on previous visits.
Although it is a little difficult for the manservant to hold such a weapon and he cannot wield it in battle, the mere fact that he can pick it up is enough to show that he is quite strong. He is not qualified to work here because of his strength.
Lifu was definitely not an ordinary person. Of course, whether it was surveillance or anything else, Ainz had no intention of doing anything to him.
Back in the room, Ainz sat down on the leather sofa, took off his helmet and let out a deep breath.
Not only is it a scene of human reaction after work, but he also really wants to do this as he possesses human residue. However, it is inconvenient to perform actions such as wiping sweat. He wears a 100% real human skin mask on his face.
, but the texture and fit to the bones are still a bit different. If you touch it in front of people with sharp eyes and physiological knowledge, it may cause wear.
"Master Feifei looks a little tired. Do you need something to drink?" the servant asked respectfully.
"Yeah, that's right. Give me a hot Makati milkshake and some wine grapes," Ainz said.
"Okay." The manservant bowed and left, and soon drinks and fruit were brought over.
His skull mouth cannot eat or drink, but he already knows some high-end drinks and snacks. Since he wants others to take him seriously, he naturally cannot look shabby in all aspects. Of course, the food will not be wasted. Francesca will
The one who has been cleaned up is obviously a contradictory body with a body prone to obesity and a love for sweets, but he has a zipper on his belly...
