OVERLORD- CH-49. Cutscene

"No." Aya shook her head.

The awkward silence lasted for three seconds, and Camilla bit her lower lip unwillingly.

"I am Master Levi's companion. Currently, we don't... don't... have that kind of relationship."

'Such an outstanding man, doesn't he have a partner yet?' Monica pondered, glancing at Jasmine.

The Kingdom of Re-Yestije, the fortress city of Lantil, the plains of Kaz.

This is a dangerous area where undead creatures will automatically spawn and it is sometimes covered with thick fog. It is said that dangerous ghost ships may appear in the fog.

Humans naturally want to avoid the undead who hate the living, but unfortunately, the undead have a very annoying characteristic: areas where large numbers of low-level undead gather will give birth to powerful undead due to the excessive concentration of negative energy.

Therefore, even though it is extremely dangerous, adventurers must occasionally clean up the low-level undead creatures, such as skeletons, that are born on the Katz Plains.

Of course, most of this cleanup work is done on the outskirts of the plains, and most people won't rashly go deep into it. After all, this is an area where the undead gather, and no one can tell what dangerous incidents may occur.

In fact, deep in the Katz Plains, there exists a secret realm that is beyond human imagination. The owner of this secret realm is still trapped in various troubles today.

"The experiment of using lizardman skin to make scrolls has been basically completed, but it has not shown very good results." A humanoid demon between the thrones reported.

He was about 180cm tall, with skin that looked dark from frequent sun exposure. He had an oriental look, and his hair was very black and combed back. His eyes were not squinting under his round glasses, but looked as if they were not open.

He was wearing a British suit and a tie, which made him look like a very capable businessman or a professional like a lawyer.

But even though he was dressed like a gentleman, he couldn't hide his evil aura. He had a tail covered with silver metal plates, with six spikes on the front. There were dark flames swaying around him. This man was Demiurge, the Creator of the Hell of Fire.

The guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. In terms of character setting, this demon is an NPC commander during defense, and now he is in a position equivalent to the chief think tank of Nazarick.

"Really? I see."

Sitting upright on a chair, or rather a throne, he was wearing a luxurious black bachelor's gown with purple and gold embroidery on the edges. The collar seemed a bit overly decorated, but it was quite fitting.

The only thing that was exposed was the head, which was a skull without any flesh. The large empty eye sockets were glowing with red-black light, and behind the head was a black light like a halo.

Among the undead who transformed themselves to learn ultimate magic, the Great Magician of the Dead—the Magic Chanter, they are also the highest-ranking [Rulers of Death], and this is their race.

Now, he was half leaning on the throne, tapping the armrest of the throne with one finger—his finger bone.

"Do you think that this attack on the Lizardmen has achieved the desired results, Demiurge?"

"Yes, Lord Ainz. I believe that under your leadership, Nazarick has achieved considerable results in this battle."

'Huh?'

'Results? Wasn't this operation a complete failure?'

No matter which direction you look at it from, the title "Lord of Death" is completely appropriate. The Ruler of Death, Ainz Ooal Gown, could not close his jaw for a moment.

The original plan was to attack the Lizardmen in order to increase Nazarick's combat power, but after destroying them all, it was discovered that the undead created using their corpses were no more effective than human corpses.

Then he had Demiurge try to make a scroll using the lizardman's skin, but the results were also quite mediocre.

The result is that all the efforts were made in vain. What results were achieved?

Ainz asked this question only to pave the way for his apology, but his most capable subordinate, Demiurge, who was at the pinnacle of Nazarick's intelligence, had a completely different view.

"Ahem, I think so too, Demiurge. I allow you to express your opinions, which means you can point out what you think are the results." Ainz said while enduring the pain in his stomach.

"Let me see if there's anything missing from your thinking."

"Yes." Demiurge raised his head and adjusted his tie. "In my humble opinion, this operation has three results."

"Just as I expected." Ainz nodded.

There are actually three more results, and he can't think of any of them!

"First of all, although the corpse of the lizardman is useless, we still used this incident to train Nazarick's combat capabilities, which is equivalent to an exercise."

"And then, this battle is particularly important for Cocytus's training. Lord Ainz probably hopes that he can take on the role of a commander, so he gave him this trial on purpose."

"Well, that's roughly it. What about the third result?"

"As for the third point, I don't know if it can be called an achievement, but at least it is a discovery." Demiurge pushed his glasses.

"We have discovered an 'abnormality' that is worthy of attention. That is, the Lizardmen refused to surrender, committed suicide, and even refused to be resurrected. Such abnormal actions are completely inconsistent with the behavioral logic of ordinary life."

"That's right." Ainz nodded.

Frankly speaking, he also cared about this—the Lizardmen completely refused to surrender and committed suicide by sending the entire race into battle to fight against Demiurge, and the souls of the dead Lizardmen actually refused to resurrect!

Of course, this crazy behavior is caused by the racial characteristics and culture of the Lizardmen. For example, it is possible that they have a Bushido complex of "worshiping death."

"There's no point in dwelling on this." Ainz said, moving on to the next part of the topic.

"Then, about the silver-white knight that Shalltear met last time." Ainz said, "Have you found any relevant information?"

"If Shalltear hadn't forgotten the other person's name, we might be able to get more information." Demiurge said, while Ainz covered his forehead with one hand.

He was so angry that he wanted to smash the handrail with his hands, but [Forced Calmness] was immediately activated and forcibly calmed his emotions.

"That idiot actually forgot the name the other person gave himself!"

He remembered Shalltear's answer when he asked her—"Ren, Rennie, what Mitte? Ah! Because it's too long and hard to pronounce, I didn't try to remember it..."

Shalltear only remembered that the other party called himself "Arthur," a name that would first remind people of the famous Knight King of England, but Ainz did not think that this information was of much use.

It couldn't be the real King Arthur. After all, it was just a legend, and Shalltear was sure that the other person was a woman.

It's impossible for King Arthur to be a girl!

"The characteristics of the adamantite-ranked adventurer, who landed with the Kingdom Adventurer's Guild are somewhat similar to those of the knight. Moreover, the adventurer suddenly disappeared on the night when Shalltear's accident happened." Ainz said.

This was the information he obtained from the guild in the identity of adventurer Feifei.

"According to the association, the Golden Ceremony may have accepted the invitation from the Dragon Kingdom and has now left the Kingdom of Re-Yestije."

"Dragon Kingdom?" Demiurge narrowed his eyes and looked very interested.
