Chapter 328 The King of Bones hears the news privately
The captain of the guard said to Crounpis, who was wearing the identity of Alice 7788: "Master Priest, can you please investigate whether that is the undead?"
Apparently he specifically said "investigate" instead of "repulse" because he was also frightened by Ainz's pretentious intimidation.
"Yes, yes, let me see, let me see - [detect undead], it turns out that there is no response, it is not the undead. If you are still worried -"
As Clunpis spoke, she fired several rounds of mid- to low-level magic that were specifically designed to kill and destroy the undead at Ainz.
He deliberately showed mercy and naturally would not take the initiative to break the defense of Ainz, who had strong enough basic abilities. In the eyes of outsiders, the methods used to target the undead were indeed ineffective against Ainz.
"Can you rest assured? I've already said it. Treating me as an undead will bother me," Ainz said.
But the guard captain couldn't let it go easily: "Wait a minute, but you trespassed into an important factory that our lord ordered to build with funds, and we can't just let you go."
"I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to find an acquaintance and used space magic. It seems that I accidentally went to the wrong place. It just so happens that I also have the status of a noble from a distant country. If a low-level apology can solve the problem, I will be very happy.
.It will be very troublesome if we have to go through diplomatic channels. Can we deal with the matter later?" Ainz's tone became aggressive.
The captain hesitated for a moment. After all, Ainz's clothes that only big men could afford to wear couldn't be fake. Being able to serve as the captain of the guard in this factory that requires monsters and magic to operate, he naturally has some discernment and can tell.
Some of Ainz's possessions are expensive magic items.
How would he feel if he knew that the items he could see through were the lowest-level items on Ainz's body?
This kind of thing definitely needs to be reported, but he doesn't have the magic of instant contact, and someone else is in an emergency. What should he do if he delays the important person's urgent matter and causes diplomatic problems? But letting go of the suspicious person is not an option.
"I'll lend you this." Crownpis handed the magic phone carried by Alice No. 7788 to the captain.
The magic phone is what is called a communication card in the Bajas Empire.
The captain thanked him, took the magic phone, and started operating it awkwardly under the prompts of Crounpisi.
Although this thing is trying to be popularized, it has not been around for long. It is cheaper than the universal magic tool from Ainz, but it is also equivalent to the second-level magic tool. The price depends on the material, reliability and communication range.
It ranges from eighty silver coins to ten gold coins, which is not something that the people and local guard captains can afford immediately.
After getting through to the lord, he explained several times just to explain that he had borrowed a magic phone.
Finally, the captain hung up and returned the magic phone to Crownpis, and said to Ainz: "I'm sorry, you can move freely, but there must be a small team of soldiers following you. Is that okay? I hope your space magic doesn't work.
The deviation is too outrageous.”
"I don't think it's too outrageous." Ainz walked out of the encirclement and came to Crounpis, saying, "Hello. I'm a little sorry, but I can't quite tell who you are, so I don't know if this is the first time we meet.
We meet again, so we just exchanged greetings. So, about the previous fluctuations outside the city, can anyone speak to this matter? "
Crounpisi frowned. It was true that because her precognitive eyes did not see the invisible and ineffective wave that was about to erupt at that time, the barrier was delayed for a moment in opening. Was it only at that moment that she was discovered?
"Please also ask Mr. Gong to wait at the local goblin temple. I will contact you right away. It won't take a few minutes." Clawnpisi said from the perspective of Alice 7788.
"I understand, can you lead the way?" Ainz asked.
"These people know the way, and you also need to keep an eye on him. Can you leave it to you?" Clawnpis blamed the guards.
The captain agreed, and Ainz left the factory surrounded by five guards.
Other guards and those who tried to watch quickly returned to work under the shouts of the overseer and captain.
Crownpis originally wanted to instruct the Fairy Temple to deal with the matter casually, but suddenly an idea came to her, and she thought of an idea that she could leave and create some obstacles for the other party.
She quietly left a clone to continue working as a technical consultant, replacing herself.

Local goblin temple, reception room——
Four guards responsible for guarding Ainz stood on both sides of the door. Ainz, who was sitting on the sofa indoors, looked at the cup of honey tea served to him by the temple priest on the table in front of him, and then looked at the guard behind him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Awkward.
He claims to be not undead, so how can he explain that the food he eats is exposed through his bones?
In the past, you could just simply refuse to serve food, but the Fairy Temple probably had information about him, so it was obviously a little joke intended to embarrass him.
"Are you drinking?" Ainz asked the guard.
"No, I'm on duty, no need." the guard said.
The atmosphere is a bit comfortable.
After a while, Crownpiss, wearing a star-spangled clown costume, appeared opposite Ainz with a light effect created by illusion magic, and sat down directly.
The guard then confirmed that Ainz Ooal Gown was such a big shot that the living god came directly to receive him!
Just as he was about to kneel down, Crounpisi said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go out first."
The guard saluted and left quickly, closing the door from the outside.
Crownpis snapped her fingers, opened the soundproof barrier and the anti-detection barrier indoors, then picked up the honey tea on the table and drank it.
Ainz: "Hmm, it seems like it's really no small matter. You actually took action yourself."
Crounpis: "Well, that's it. I received a report from my subordinates that once when you and your wife went to the forest to play, you encountered heavy fog. And during that time, your reactions completely disappeared from this world.
Already."
Ainz: "...That's right."
He also investigated what happened that night afterwards, and found that there was no information about the poorly named Nirmachi Dasai and Graeme Taro. Moreover, he went there again during the day and found that the scenery and landforms at the same coordinates were completely wrong.
, the location of that night can no longer be found. Therefore, there was not much reaction to Crounpisi's revelation.
Crounpis: "It's not just the 'Hundred Years Aftershock', this plane is connected to other planes from time to time. You know this, right?"
Ainz: "Could it be the same this time?"
Crownpiss: "Yes, I also did some research over there. Suddenly - the passages on both sides became stable. Let me first state that this passage was not made by me. But I plan to make more updates in the near future.
A large-scale investigation and the establishment of a relationship depending on the situation are not without the possibility of triggering a plane war, right?"
