"Or, for some reason, could Ainz Ooal Gown be given the power to be close to the king?" The question Chizuru asked was somewhat politically sensitive, and Sean was not very clear about it.
"This... is not something we little people can understand. However, there are some interesting rumors. If you are interested, I can tell you about it."
"Then please." Chizuru said.
Crownpis also nodded with great interest. She wondered what kind of means Ainz could use to engage in political struggles. Maybe there would be something very interesting. It would be too boring to use force as a deterrent, but it was also possible.
It would be boring if Mordred, who majored in politics, helped.
But since it’s just rumors, there should be something that isn’t boring, right?
"Okay." Sean agreed happily, but, "But we are almost at the city gate. Saying this in front of the people who are preparing to enter the city and the guards, even if they don't care, would be rude. Let's talk as we go in.
"
Soon, they arrived at the city gate.
Normally, the entrance would be very open, but now that we are early, many people who plan to enter the city early in the morning for various reasons have already lined up in a long queue, but the various races of different sizes are orderly.
"That's right. Although I know that causing security problems inside will definitely attract law enforcement, the queue outside the city is also like this. Even the races that are predators and prey of each other don't even show their teeth and stare at each other's 'friendly salute', or
It's rare." Cronpis said in a casual tone.
Sean nodded and said, "That's right, to be honest, if we were in a country far away from Ainz Ooal Gown, hostile races would probably start a war if they met on the streets of the town. Ainz Ooal
·Master Gong’s influence is really great.”
After a while, the city gate opened.
The city gate matches the rather tall city wall, which is also huge and abnormal. Eight death knights operate the naturally huge winch on it, and cooperate with the two giants who pull the door from inside to slowly open the door.
"Okay, it's really big." Qian Hezi raised her head and murmured blankly.
"Don't worry, they won't accidentally step on you, let alone catch you and eat you." Sean said in a brisk tone.
Then, the entry into the city begins.
Chizuru suppressed the ups and downs in her heart as her world view was constantly being refreshed, and did not let them show up in herself. She observed other people's methods and procedures for entering the city, so that there would be no mistakes or inappropriateness in her response later.
The specific process is very simple: polite greeting from the front guard → Check the luggage (cannot bribe to get through) → Recommended to register and keep weapons (can be refused) → Explain the precautions for entering the city (if it is the first time to arrive, you need to attend a training) → Pass by a man who looks eagerly.
Guard → End.
The first few items are not big problems.
When checking the luggage, the Graeme horse seemed a bit strange. The suspension of the carriage was made of dwarven craftsmanship that was extremely smooth. The "pocket money" of hundreds of gold coins in the luggage was a bit too large, but this pair was a wealthy businessman or noble.
It's not something that people with backgrounds can't hold.
The leading guard confirmed that there were no contraband or weapons hidden in the mezzanine, and asked several people if they were magic casters and if they had any natural abilities in combat. Using them without permission would be the same crime as pulling out a weapon.
"What happens if you pull out a weapon or use magic?" Chizuru asked. She had heard Crounpis and Sean say it, but they all summed it up in one word: "It's over." What was the level of the crime and what was the punishment?
Need to know more about it.
"One warning, if it is ineffective or if it happens again, it will be executed on the spot. Oh my god, don't try it out with the mentality of setting off fireworks out of curiosity. Please don't let us see that kind of end again!" The leading guard seemed a little unable to restrain his emotions.
Wow, I feel like I want to yell but I'm trying my best to hold it back.
"By the way, there is one more thing to remind you." Seeing that the leading guard told him to stop there, Sean continued, "Some residents with big tails and bad personalities will use their tails to trip passers-by, and there are also other methods. Under this loophole,
If you use force as long as you don't injure them, they won't be held accountable. Although you can use some force for defense, it's also a tactic, and it's troublesome whether you win the lawsuit or not, so be careful."
"I know, thank you." Crownpis was thinking about pretending to accidentally break her tail when meeting that kind of guy, and said to the leading guard, "Last time I came here, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown...
I’m going to the city for my wedding, so I don’t need any training.”
"Oh, he is such a noble person!"
Everyone who heard it, including the guards and Sean, exclaimed in surprise. Apart from the local citizens, the only people who could participate were the big names and organizations who had received the invitation. Presumably no one would dare to say something just to skip a step of entering the city.
"That's no problem, but that time is quite special, and it's relatively easy to bring invitations to the city. But since I've been here before, I don't need to explain the rules anymore, so please pay more attention." The guard said.
Finally, you can proceed directly by "leading" the carriage past the guards.
Chizuru breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the carriage, and watched as Crounpisi pretended to lead the Graeme horse into the city gate.
"Zheng!" A huge tower shield blocked Crounpisi.
"Eh?" Cronpis expressed surprise and looked up at the guard.
A burly guard with a tall head and a heavy back. The vein-like lines on the black body armor seemed to pulsate, and the red light in the eye sockets was also flashing.
Even people who don't know their race can figure out what this means. It's warning.
"Please don't move! Don't try to react in combat! Oh my God, are you hiding something on your body?" The leading guard was so frightened that he screamed.
There are some things that only guards like this can see.
"A warning." The guard made a sound that could turn the air cold. The sound was as harsh as a rotting string instrument. "You secretly brought multiple summoned monsters into the city without being inspected."
Crownpis secretly thought that this was probably because the undead were sensitive to the living and discovered that the clothes on her body were transformed by mimicry.
Hiding is very simple for her. The direct reason for this is that she has reached the level of 250, so she naturally doesn't care about the death knight, and she forgets about it.
The clothes on Clawnpisi's body are also life. It is hidden from ordinary magic, skills and supernatural perception, but ignores the undead's instinctive feeling towards the living. It is like hiding from the detection of optical instruments and radar, but ignoring thermal imaging.
The instrument is the same.
Chizuruko put her hands on her neck with some difficulty in breathing. She seemed to be frightened, but she was more worried about whether the lip worm in her throat that could make her make sounds was also a hidden contraband.
