Chapter 212 Rumors and the truth are close at hand
Ainz felt that it would be a bit strange if he didn't drink a hot drink that was not hot, so he dismissed the valet and closed the door.
In fact, Ainz clearly has no tongue, no esophagus, and no nasal cavity, but he unexpectedly has a sense of smell. Even if he wants a hot drink, it's better to smell it. Even if he can't drink it, he can smell it indirectly. He also feels that it tastes pretty good, and he feels deeply about it.
Ainz, who was a little careless, poured the milkshake into another bottle with a lid and cast the self-taught [conservation] magic. He also took some wine and grapes and threw them into the infinite backpack, and then lay down on the sofa.
Think about the current and future things in a lazy posture.
However, it didn't take long, just a cup of tea, when someone came to inform him to go to the municipal government for a meeting.
Although Ainz did not regret the meeting, he could not suppress the annoyance in his heart.
There were nine participants, one of the Duke's subordinates was in charge of presiding over the meeting, three officials who looked different in height, fat and thin; two tough men who did not wear weapons but whose equipment was quite high-end (by human standards), and one who
The thin men in robes should be two warriors with important positions and a magic caster; the rest are Ainz and Francesca.
In the case of using honorific titles, the Duke's subordinates are called Bruton, the three officials are named Clark, Burse, and Larson, and the two warriors and the magic chanter are named Acrack, Alfonso, and Canberra.
The content of the meeting was important to both the principality and Ainz, but why did he have to listen to Bruton's tantrums for an hour first?
Whether it was in the workplace in his previous life or in this life, Ainz hated this kind of people.
Without the "forced non-anger" of the undead to suppress mental fluctuations, he really wouldn't be able to bear it.
Although there were reasons why his superiors got angry in front of his subordinates and he couldn't help but find someone to vent to, the problems in the past half month were indeed too serious.
Since the saint who appeared out of nowhere ended her lecture tour, and the channel through which they obtained a large amount of magic crystals was exposed, it took some time for the news to spread. They tried to block it and slow down the process, but it could not prevent those who knew the news.
People fled one after another and the population was lost in large numbers.
The Fairy Miko Hime brought a week of heavy snowfall and more than a month of frost here. If agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry are hit again due to this, the trouble will be big.
The Duke once ordered to seal the border, but this had the opposite effect, and more exaggerated rumors emerged. The Duke's measure was regarded by some as a move to prepare the whole country to refine the human body in order to resist the coming of the Temple God!
At this time, trying to refute the rumors became more like guilty conscience and recklessness. When the principality was almost at a loss to do anything about it, the people who temporarily alleviated the situation were Ainz and Francesca, temporarily called Momon and Fran.
Francesca used her powerful illusion ability to deceive the world, and a blizzard came that was even more terrifying than what Merriface had done last time.
During this period, a rather serious invasion of the undead of the undead system occurred.
Although there are not many in number, the weakest ones are enough to put a team of platinum-level adventurers into a tough battle, and the strong ones are even qualified to hurt the transcendants. The "Blood Chain God Group" gathered the transcendent cadre Tori in this "last base camp"
Nila, Prince and others had to use all their strength to deal with them other than self-destruction.
Then it was time for "Dark Warrior Feifei" to show off his power. He fought hard for three hundred rounds with the undead he made and achieved complete victory.
Of course, the principality was completely unaware of the fact that the above incidents were directed and performed by Ainz and Francesca.
At this point, Francesca proposed to the Duke to take this opportunity to spread some news.
There are some professions in this world that control the undead, but they cannot generally control all the undead that are weaker than themselves. The ones who can be regarded as legends in the world include Ainz Ooal Gown and Yayaka Tai Cohen.
Reed, Xie Yuen, Michaelis and the dead Dragon King Cefantara Angelus, the Shadow King, and Mesette who recently challenged Yayaka.
No one knows where their upper limit is, but the common sense for professions such as necromancers is that they usually only focus on the ability to control a series of undead, because mortal bones and time do not allow for more, and the weak will be more capable.
Limit imagination. In their eyes, the most realistic example of a transcendent is Yayaka. The only undead she can create are vampire relatives. Although the undead she can control is a little wider, they all rely on strong hard power to forcibly kill them.
made.
In this way, Mesette, who seems to be the most suspicious, can be washed away, and the dirty water can be poured on the undead Michaelis, who has done some big things not long ago and has become famous in neighboring countries.
.
Coupled with the same method of snow sealing the capital as the Fairy Temple, the credibility of this statement is even greater.
At the same time, even though the Principality of Bajas was forced to this extent, it still did not capture the people for human body refining and large-scale production of magic crystals that not only have basic combat power, but can also enhance the combat power of transcendents, which can also be used as real evidence to "refute the rumors"
one.
As a result, with the concerted efforts of Ainz and Francesca, the bad situation in the Principality of Bajas was alleviated to a certain extent.
However, as the saying goes, "Good things don't go out, evil things travel thousands of miles", which is just a certain relief.
Compared to the restoration of the principality's reputation, Feifei's reputation as a hero spread faster.
"Hmph! The abominable empire, the abominable temple, they advertise so well, but they are all monsters at heart! Fairies and monsters that play tricks on humans!" Bruton ended with these words, and then picked up the drink that the attendant refilled.
"Drank it.
Everyone else present seemed to be informed and understanding, with expressions of frowning or indignant. However, "Feifei" and "Flan", who were only in an employment relationship, did not know the details of their issues.
"Are the Empire and the Temple ready to fight back against me?" Ainz asked.
"If that's all, can I ask Mr. Momon to take action?" Akrak looked at Ainz's helmet visor and asked, as if he wanted to see through the gap.
"If it is a battle that can help the people, I will naturally be obliged to do so," Ainz said.
"However, since we need to gather these people, there must be other troubles." Francesca asked with the corner of her mouth raised.
"Do you two still remember the rumors about the Hell Fairy Saint?" Canberra asked.
Ainz nodded silently, while Francesca held up her face and said happily: "Oh, I must remember it. His fame spread quickly after he suddenly appeared, and his methods seemed interesting? How about it? We need to deal with it.
