The Sorcerer King, Princess Elizabeth and others came to an attic. It was said that there was a group of orcs that were difficult to deal with.
These orcs did not come to attack the Holy Kingdom, but were captured by Jaldabaoth and imprisoned in this pavilion.
Several paladins surrounded the pavilion to prevent the orcs inside from running out and hurting people.
When the Sorcerer King and Princess Elizabeth arrived, the paladins knelt on one knee to show respect.
"Captain Custodio told me that there are orcs in this building, so I'm here. Can you let me in?" the Sorcerer King asked majestically.
"Yes! Of course, His Majesty the Sorcerer King." The paladins were frightened by the Sorcerer King's terrifying aura, and they all trembled in response.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the Sorcerer King waved his hand and said casually: "Then you leave here and go do the work you should do!"
A paladin raised his head and said hesitantly: "However, we are instructed by the captain to guard this place and cannot leave our posts without permission."
"Really? Then I take back what I just said." After saying this, the Sorcerer King passed between the paladins and opened the door.
Then, Princess Elizabeth and Neia followed.
At this time, Neia discovered that Princess Elizabeth took out two strange masks, put on one of them herself, and handed the other to her.
Neia took the mask without knowing why, and looked at Princess Elizabeth wearing the strange mask with confusion.
Princess Elizabeth didn't explain anything. After putting on the mask, she followed the Sorcerer King into the pavilion.
Neia held the mask and looked puzzled, how to wear this thing? What's the use of wearing it?
Neia chased Princess Elizabeth with doubts. The moment she entered the pavilion, Neia smelled sour, feces, urine, sweat, and other various odors.
The contents of her stomach wanted to rush up her throat, and the nauseating feeling made Neia nauseous.
The inside of this pavilion is a mixture of a garbage dump and a toilet. It stinks so much.
The Sorcerer King is a skeleton and has no sense of smell, so he should have no sense. But Princess Elizabeth is a normal human being with a noble status. How can she endure such an environment?
Holding her nose while enduring the stench, Neia caught up with Princess Elizabeth and the Sorcerer King.
Neia was surprised to find that Princess Elizabeth, who was wearing a mask, followed the Sorcerer King calmly and calmly, as if she could not smell the pungent smell here at all.
Why?
Doesn’t the noble Princess Elizabeth care about such a harsh environment?
Even Neia, who was used to the harsh environment, couldn't bear it. How did Princess Elizabeth stay calm and composed?
Princess Elizabeth turned to look at Neia and found that Neia was still holding the gas mask given to Neia, so she asked, "Does it smell bad?"
"Stinky!" Neia replied, pinching her nose.
"Then why not put this on quickly!" Princess Elizabeth pointed to the gas mask in Neia's hand.
"How do you wear this?" Neia looked embarrassed. She had never brought such a thing before!
"Let me help you!" Neia couldn't put it on, so Princess Elizabeth had to put it on for her.
After Princess Elizabeth helped Neia put on the gas mask, Neia was surprised to find that the pungent smell was reduced countless times. Walking in this unhygienic pavilion, she no longer felt so uncomfortable physically and mentally.
What a magical prop!
As expected of Princess Elizabeth, she even has such magical props.
So the two young women wearing gas masks followed the Sorcerer King who opened one door after another.
The three of them crossed the room and passed through the passage.
When you actually walked around, you immediately knew that this building was dirtier than a prison.
Various places were stained with blood, vomit and excrement.
Although it is impossible to imagine what happened here, the environment is too harsh.
Orcs are subhumans who are as tall as humans and look like pigs. It is generally said that this race is very clean.
They love to be clean and cannot stay in a place like this voluntarily.
That could only mean that Jaldabaoth was imprisoned here.
The Sorcerer King walked in front. Neia looked at the long hem of his robe and was worried that the Sorcerer King's fine clothes would get dirty, but she couldn't ask him to wait outside.
Because no one can replace the extremely intelligent Sorcerer King.
The same goes for Princess Elizabeth's gorgeous dress. It would be a shame if it got stained.
But neither the Sorcerer King nor Princess Elizabeth seemed worried about their clothes getting dirty.
Soon, Neia's keen hearing detected the breaths and sounds of many creatures in front of her. Among them were sounds like the cries of children, and the voice of a mother trying to comfort them.
Are they orcs? Not humans?
Neia was greatly confused. She had never thought that those half-orcs could form families and raise children.
The orcs who came to the Holy Kingdom were invaders and hateful enemies. So her thinking always stopped here and never thought much about it.
While Neia was in confusion, the Sorcerer King opened the door.
The stench became stronger, and the screams of many orcs came from it.
"Wow! Immortal!"
"It's a skeleton! It's going to be killed!"
Seeing Ainz intruding, the orcs started to commotion.
"Those humans! They must have sold us to the undead! Damn it!"
"You actually use the undead! These humans are so filthy!"
"Mom! Save me!" A small half-orc who was closest to Ainz was so frightened that he peed in front of Ainz's oppressive figure.
"My baby!" The little Orc's mother endured her fear and rushed over to hug the little Orc tightly.
They looked at the Sorcerer King in horror, as if they were saying don't kill me.
Ainz opened his mouth wide. Is he that scary?
These guys are so afraid of themselves, they are so embarrassed in front of their daughter.
These guys need to be quiet.
"Don't... huh! Shut up!" The Sorcerer King ordered loudly, and the originally noisy room fell silent.
But this only lasted for a moment, and the shouting that was twice as loud as before was heard everywhere, and the content was almost the same as before.
No, I feel that there are more voices lamenting fate, or there are more voices saying that no matter what happens to you, you just want to spare your child's life.
Princess Elizabeth chuckled behind the Sorcerer King, which made Neia wonder, was there something funny about it?
"Alas!" The Sorcerer King sighed tiredly, and then——he punched the door panel hard.
Even though it only had a skeletal arm, its arm strength was extremely strong. With a loud bang, the door panel flew aside, and then hit the wall, making a terrifying and loud sound.
The orcs fell silent for a moment.
"Shut up! Don't speak without my consent, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel." Ainz said with dignity.
Ainz's threat instantly silenced the orcs.
In the dead silence that seemed to be frozen in space, there were even half-orcs who looked like parents desperately covering the child's mouth, fearing that the child would be killed if he made any sound.
The Sorcerer King took a step into the room, and the orcs were so frightened that they all backed away.
Ainz's red eyes flashed and he said, "I'm not here to kill you. On the contrary, I'm here to liberate you."
Looking at the orcs' pig-like appearance, it was difficult for Neia, a human, to grasp the emotional reactions from their expressions.
However, only this time, she could conclude with absolute confidence.
