These days, Ainz and Francesca are still cooperating with the three black work teams of "Four Color Arms", "Five Whistle", and "Six Sword Warriors" to carefully and unhurriedly explore this underground maze.
Along the way, I encountered many monsters and monsters, as well as a small number of demi-humans. On the third floor, I defeated a monster that looked very much like a three-headed hell dog. The difference was that it actually had fifteen heads. I didn't encounter any more.
A powerful opponent.
There are countless monsters, and if a few are released, they will cause great harm to the surrounding villages and towns, but they are all monsters that the human team can deal with with their best efforts.
Afterwards, they found many places with residential facilities, but they all seemed empty.
Judging from the freshness of the traces and the fact that quite a few supplies and props were not taken away, it seems that he left in a hurry not long ago.
On the return trip these days, the people in the illegal work teams had a more or less happy atmosphere.
Excluding some harvests within the scope designated by the principality, although the remaining things are a bit complicated and numerous, most of them are not of great value. Since the original owner should be a demi-human, if they are dealt with by the principality, they will only be at a crazy discount, but the Dragon Kingdom
and the Dwarf Kingdom should be able to sell for a good total price. As a black worker who has no guild to back him up and must be self-reliant, there are ways to prepare for such emergencies.
But that is what will happen after this exploration is over.
They enter the Altar of Destruction in the second half of the night to explore, and return to the camp during the day to rest and replenish supplies.
Everyone admired Ainz's strength. Knowing that he was a foreigner and interested in legends and rare objects, they also liked to chat with him about some related stories and legends.
For example, the winged heroes who have soared in the sky for a long time;
For example, the four-color ancient dragon that rules all the mountains and oceans in the northwest continent;
Such as the immortal firebird that dominates the sky;
For example, the House of the Twin Witches hidden deep in the Top Forest;
For example, the Goblin King wields ash branches and destroys many dragons;
For example, the Great Forest of Topu, which once occupied the richest resources, occasionally appears in the world as a wise king of the forest;
For example, the Flame Dominator who travels under the volcano and gives the dwarves the source of forging...
Ainz was indeed very interested in these things at first, so he asked Mesette and some members of the nearby multi-racial countries with a relatively natural appearance to "Ainz Ooal Gown" to become travelers and investigate according to the legend, and then look for
If there are any more detailed insiders, I will leave with an excuse when I have time, and teleport to look for it together. If it is an intelligent creature, then you can consider establishing a relationship or accepting it as a subordinate. If it is a monster with low intelligence, you can tame it and show it to the public.
It can all enhance your reputation.
However, field visits were mostly disappointing.
After all, it is a legend. Some of the "Thirteen Heroes" were officially banned, but people still passed it down by word of mouth. Some of them were beaten to death by Crownpis and dispatched by the Eight Desire Kings for some reasons.
The demon was killed, and more specific historical events cannot be verified. As for visiting the City of the Eight Desire Kings to continue the investigation - that can be regarded as the "tail of the gryphon" for Ainz, who currently has no guild backing - cannot be traced.
Four-color ancient dragons do exist. They do rule the surrounding snow mountains, stone mountains, volcanoes and the ocean to the north. But just ask knowledgeable people in multi-racial countries and they all know that they are the acting rulers of Titania.
.
There is a House of Twin Witches. It may not be known outside the forest, but the locals and outsiders in the forest know that it is the reason why Elphin Minter and Winkworth, the descendants of Cronpis, are here.
It is not clear yet, but some members of "Ainz Ooal Gown" speculate that this is to allow the Fairy Temple to monopolize some unique resources deep in the Top Forest and control the market.
The truth about the Wise King of the Forest was what left Ainz speechless the most. It turned out to be the giant hamster that he had seen in the punishment level of the dungeon before. However, others said that the hamster looked like a monster full of power and wisdom.
Which aspect of aesthetics is wrong?
The current ruler of flames who travels under the volcano, the contemporary main body was seen in the dungeon punishment level not long ago - an evil spirit that looks like a beast mother, but Hua Jingjing managed to chat with her for a few words, and the evil spirit said that it looked like
It did happen in the past, but it was some fish that lived in magma that grew to a very large size, and they tasted pretty good.
"Oh, the legend is caused by the lack of real information and the spread too quickly. Things that are obviously close at hand are spread so magically. It really makes people feel dreamless." Once, I was dining alone with Francesca.
At that time, Ainz lamented after confirming the truth of yet another legend from other companions through contact magic.
"The reason why legends are wonderful is because they are elusive, right? Feifei, you have to pursue practical results from the legends."
By the way, the reason why he ate alone was naturally because his skeletal body could not eat. Even if he knew that Francesca was using illusions, it would be easy to cover them up, but Ainz still pursued safety.
In a gang-eating organization, it is not unusual for different teams to have separate meals.
"The only thing that is useful is the legend of the Immortal Firebird. It's better than nothing. But that kind of place doesn't allow people to see my heroic appearance." Ainz said.
The Immortal Firebird is a real World of Warcraft. It has no tribe, and is suspected to be a mutated individual of not much age. Its wingspan is as big as a giant dragon. According to "Ainz Ooal Gown's" magic evaluation, its actual level is level 44.
.If it is indeed close to the peak of strength by indigenous standards, it is not as exaggerated as the legend. At most, it is exaggerated because it has air supremacy and lives in a place that is too harsh for humans and demihumans.
Ainz judged from the content in the local history books. Although the immortal firebird had been inhabiting the sphere of goblin influence since its appearance, its attributes were incompatible with the local goblins and frost dragons, and it had little use value for the current goblin influence, so there was no special purpose.
They must have been captured. If it were those goblins a hundred years ago, they might have caught them happily. This is just a matter of time difference.
"Hey! Have Mr. Feifei and Mr. Fran eaten?" Someone shouted loudly from the camp not far away, walking towards them, "It's almost time to start preparing for departure."
"Yes, right away." Ainz turned back and nodded towards the visitor.
The man turned around and went back.
Francesca pretended to pouted and said: "Pfft, pfft, I eat double portions every time. Although I specially added a lot of delicious sweets here, I will gain weight if I continue like this."
"Don't you have a zipper on your belly?" Ainz replied.
"Wow hahaha, why do I feel like I've seen this kind of complaint? I've obviously never heard of it before."
