Human beings are social creatures, and as long as they have emotions and desires, they are bound to have concerns. And those who are heartless and desireless are no longer human beings. Therefore, no matter how talented they are, they will eventually have bonds and there will definitely be people they care about.
Direct blood relatives such as parents, brothers and sisters are what most people care about most. Even orphan geniuses who have been abandoned without a father or mother, there are also people who care about them, because only with the help of others can these orphans grow up.
In short, a genius who grows up in a human country, no matter how much he or she looks like a lone wolf, will inevitably interact with others, and the intersection will create bonds, and then there will be scruples.
When Ainz understood that the subcontinent he was in had undergone unprecedented changes, he knew that he was no longer qualified to refuse the ruling prince's invitation. He admitted that he was moved by the offer of ten people to take refuge in the demiplane. Not only was he moved,
He also feels these places are too few.
In a disaster that spreads to the Nokia-European subcontinent, how many people can he and Yaheng protect? They may not even be able to protect themselves. As long as they rely on the strongest, they have the greatest hope of surviving this disaster.
.
"Master Ainz, if you want to get more asylum quotas, then do your best to get a better ranking in the pharmacist finals. Those who are able will get more."
"I understand." Ainz took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The treatment he received was determined by his ability. This was very fair and there was nothing to argue about.
"What about me?" Seeing that his childhood sweetheart agreed to the solicitation, Ya Heng also asked the chamberlain with some urgency.
"I'm sorry, His Majesty Muria has enough and excellent giant warriors to follow him, so there is no need for extra human warriors." The servant still said very annoying words with a smile on his face.
"How could this be?" Hearing the words of the chamberlain, Ya Heng instantly fell into annoyance. Naturally, he didn't care about the invading demons.
But he can ignore it. Most of his relatives and friends are ordinary people. Even if they encounter the lowest level of cowardice, they will be killed. He can protect one or two, but ten? Twenty? He
I feel like I can't protect myself.
"Be patient, Your Excellency Ya Heng." The young man who had already reached the gold level reacted like this, which made the waiter very satisfied. He pointed at the delicacies brought by the waiter in the restaurant, made a gesture of invitation, and picked it up.
The tableware was eaten.
"How can I get an asylum quota?" The words of the chamberlain made young Ya Heng feel that there was a turning point, and he quickly asked. If there was really no other way, he could only shamelessly ask his friend for help. In any case, he
They all want to send their parents to take refuge in the demiplane.
"The kingdom needs warriors like you. After the martial arts competition is over, you should receive a recruitment order from His Highness Muria. At that time, you will be able to use the battle ax in your hand to win entry to the demiplane for your relatives.
Opportunity for refuge.”
Hearing that he still had a chance, Ya Heng's face immediately relaxed a lot. Although his treatment seemed not as good as that of Fa Xiao, from the current point of view, it was already very good. At least he had a chance to fight hard.
"How do I get it with a battle axe?" Seeing the satisfied look on his head, Ainz cursed silently for his futility and asked on his behalf.
"Of course you fight demons to gain military exploits, and then exchange your military exploits for a spot." The chamberlain replied with a smile.
"Fighting demons." Ainz's face suddenly turned ugly. Even a three-year-old child knew how cruel and vicious demons were, and he knew even better. Demons are evil creatures that have been fighting and fighting since they were born.
, most creatures are no match for them.
"The national crisis is facing you. You have no choice." The chamberlain who had eaten and drank enough stood up and left a sincere advice: "Before His Majesty Muria can still maintain the superficial peace of the kingdom, seize all the time to grow.
There is not much time left for geniuses like you."
After saying that, he ignored the two people who fell into silence, and prepared to leave the restaurant with the construct knight disguised as an ordinary guard behind him, and go to the next place. According to the list, he looked for the genius Muria named by name and wanted to recruit.
.
"Wait."
"Is there anything else? Sir Ainz?" The chamberlain stopped and looked at the genius pharmacist who raised his head to stop him.
"What would you do to me if I refused just now?"
"Of course I won't do anything to you." The chamberlain smiled, "I'm just a chamberlain responsible for informing, and these people around me are just protecting my safety. I will just inform another guy who is not very friendly to take over.
That’s all.”
"Responsible for notification? In other words, you are attracted by the Grand Duke of Muria. No matter whether you are willing or not, the only result is to serve him. There is no other choice, right?"
"You are indeed a talented pharmacist who is favored by His Majesty, but you are still a bit young. It's better to understand some things without saying them."
…
"Are you ready? Leon." On the throne, Muria looked at the red-haired boy with a slightly frowning brow below, leaning on the throne and asked lazily.
"Is it unfair for you to ask me to directly participate in the finals? You are a golden dragon." Leon asked with a frown.
"Fair? I paid money to send people to organize the competition. You tell me it's fair?" A slight smile appeared on Muria's face, "And with your strength and according to the normal entry process, you don't think you can reach the finals.
?”
"sure."
"That's fine. There's nothing unfair about it. It's just to save you some time and avoid unnecessary processes. Compared to this, I think you should be concerned about whether you can obtain the following in the next game.
No. 1 in the age group of sixteen to twenty, instead of getting hung up on such minutiae.”
"I will definitely win the first place with the sword in my hand."
"Don't talk too much. If you can't put on the demon hunting armor, you won't have any advantage against those human geniuses. I have the information on all the participating geniuses. Do you need to know it in advance? This way your winning rate will be much higher."
"No need, I don't want to win through this method."
"A rigid knight." Muria laughed and scolded, "It would be great if you were a knight of scourge, so I wouldn't have to put so much thought into it."
"..." The young knight was silent. He had always had very complicated emotions towards those fallen Knights of Scourge who slashed at their fellow tribesmen with swords. He didn't think they had done anything wrong.
"After the competition, I will recruit these talents to form a demon hunting group. After you win first place, I can legitimately appoint you as the leader of one of the demon hunting groups without worrying about the criticism of others."
"Demon hunting group?" The red-haired boy raised his head, a look of excitement on his face, and two scorching red lights shot out of his eyes.
