"I always feel like I can see the sun again, but I don't feel any real sense at all!" Outside Nazarick, Herank raised his head and looked at the blue sky.
"It feels so good to be alive for the first time..." Imina also sighed, and Roba and Arshe behind her also looked at each other and smiled. After all, it was really unrealistic to survive such a horrific incident.
"So, what should we do next? Sister Yili." Helanke sighed and turned around to look at Yili, who was dressed as an "ordinary" person and covered half of her face with a bandage and asked.
.
…
half an hour ago…
"Let's put it this way! Can we go back?" Arshe cried with joy after hearing Yili's words. He could continue to live and he could go home and see his sister again.
Yi Li nodded silently, then shook her head with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Sister Yili, is it true? Are there any other questions?" Herank frowned and realized that things were not that simple.
Although Sister Yili did say that you can go back when she came here, she didn't say how to go back. Sending the body back is considered going back, right?
"My father wants to see you." Sister Yi Li said with an embarrassed look on her face.
…
In the main hall of Nazarick, the four counselors are now shivering in the main hall. Not to mention the formations of death knights lined up in the main hall, only the guardians who are inconvenient to move are standing next to Ainz's father (
I’m talking about you, Gao Kangda!), all the other guardians are here, and this battle will only scare them to death.
"Don't be nervous, everyone." Ainz's father waved his hand in a dignified manner after seeing Yi Li leading the team of four counselors into the hall.
Iri was also shocked by this battle, but she thought it was cute when she thought that Ainz's father wanted to show off Nazarick's virtues.
"Lord Ainz Ooal Gown...well..." Hrank, the representative who was walking at the front, didn't even finish his words! He was made arrogant by Xiao Di who was standing beside him, and then he was forced to kneel down.
"Okay, Demiurge, they are my daughter's companions, there is no need to be so formal." Ainz raised his hand slightly to stop Xiaodi.
However, after Xiao Di lifted the curse, no one among the four counselors dared to stand up again.
"Hey...get up, I'll make you laugh." Ainz said, and Yili also whispered to them to get up. After all, it was just an act, there was no need to be so nervous, so the four counselors dared to get up.
"My daughter has caused you trouble! Here... I am very grateful to you for bringing my daughter back to me," Ainz said.
"No, no, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown has spoken harshly. Sister Yili...Her Highness Yili has not caused us any trouble, but we all rely on her." Hrank said with a cold sweat in his heart,
From the moment he stepped into the hall, Herank felt a huge sense of oppression and fear.
Although I don’t know what the undead creatures are lined up in a row, they are definitely not the same as the low-level undead creatures on the Kaz Plains. There is also sister Yili’s father in front of me, and those who should be the guards.
Those who are still close confidants are not existences that he can afford to offend.
"Oh, yes, that's good, but thanks are thanks. Setting foot in Nazarick without permission is a capital crime. Just based on this little achievement, do you want me to spare you?" Ainz's dark eyes looked down.
There was a flash of red light, which was obviously a naked threat.
"Lord Ainz Ooal Gown! We! Know that our crimes are unpardonable, but! Can you just give us another chance?" Heklan said hurriedly.
Although Sister Yili reminded herself before coming here, she couldn’t talk nonsense, let alone lie. The thing her father disliked the most was someone lying to him. Other sisters Yili would speak for her, but this sister Yili’s old man
Dad sentenced him to death as soon as he came up. This made him weak.
"A chance? Haha! I can't think of any benefits or reasons for giving you a chance." Ainz said, and then stared at Hrank.
"Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, we are willing to use our loyalty in exchange for the chance of survival." After Hrank finished speaking, he took the lead in kneeling, and the other four counselors also knelt down after seeing this.
Hrank was not an idiot, and he also heard what Ainz said. It was an obvious threat. After the threat, he deliberately mentioned the benefits and reasons for giving him the opportunity.
Isn't it obvious that this will cost you something? However, after witnessing the crushing combat power and financial resources possessed by the other party, the only thing left that you can offer as a bargaining chip in exchange for your life is loyalty.
"Hey...loyalty? What about guarantees? I'm not kind enough to believe the loyalty shown by a few rats." Ainz said.
"Father, I...I can guarantee their loyalty. I...I have been with them for a while, so..." Sister Yili helped to speak at this time.
"That's enough..." Ainz interrupted Sister Yili quite displeasedly. Sister Yili showed a sad expression and tugged hard on the corner of her clothes. The kneeling Hrank was watching all this.
In eyes.
"My daughter, please forgive me, humans are not creatures worth trusting." Ainz waved his hand and said.
Is everything over? Hrank's heart is cold. With such a god-like existence in front of him, even if he wants to resist now, he will probably be torn into pieces by the undead creatures next to him, and his sister Yili will also be implicated.
.
"Lord Ainz... maybe we can use that thing." At this time, a turning point occurred. The stunning beauty in white next to Ainz said this, and then she leaned over and whispered something in Ainz's ear.
"Okay, in that case, I will give you a chance to be loyal to Nazarick." Ainz said.
Upon hearing this, Hrank, who was already frustrated, raised his head and looked at Ainz, eager to know why Ainz suddenly gave him a chance.
After that, they saw Ainz reach out from the void and throw out four items similar to leather collars in front of their eyes.
"This is the slave collar, and this is your chance." Ainz said. It was obvious... No need to explain, you can understand the function of this item literally.
"Father!" Sister Yili cried out sadly. It was obvious that she had been trying hard to suppress her emotions.
"My daughter, this is already my biggest concession." Ainz sighed.
"I don't want to see my daughter's tears, so be it." After saying that, Ainz stood up and a portal like a black hole appeared beside him. It was obvious that the meeting was about to end.
"But father!" Sister Yili wanted to catch up, but Hrank grabbed her, and sister Yili watched helplessly as Ainz walked into the portal.
"Sister Yili... That's all right. Since we've been given such conditions, it's already a good deal for us to survive." Herank consciously picked up the collar in front of him and put it on consciously.
This magical collar automatically disappeared after touching my neck, leaving only a black mark.
The other members of the Four Counselors also consciously crawled over, picked up the collar and put it on consciously.
"I feel like this is not enough!" The stunning beauty in white glanced at the four counselors who were wearing the slave collar.
"Mother! If this doesn't work! Then let me monitor them with them! If they really have rebellious intentions, let me execute them myself!" Sister Yi Li shouted with grief and indignation.
.
"Ha! Little Yili... cough... Well, this is a good idea. Then I will transfer some of the authority of the slave collar to you. If... something like that happens, hum! I am looking forward to your performance.
Watching you die at the hands of my baby girl is quite a pleasure!"
After the beautiful woman in white had finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the portal, followed by other cronies.
The only ones left in the main hall were the undead creatures and the four counselors team who were still kneeling.
