Capítulo 17: Night in Nazarick I
"With this, the representative of Nazarick, Shalltear Bloodfallen, wins the battle outstandingly."
After the extermination of the angel, it was clear that Black Scripture couldn't fight anymore, and the purpose was completed. So, Aura announced the winner of the match.
"You did well, Shalltear. What do you desire for your reward?"
Ainz asked Shalltear, who was standing in the centre of the arena.
"It's my honour to serve you, my lord. I only wish to stay by your side forever.~"
Shalltear said with a slight bow. Her face was red, and her body trembled on the praise by her master.
She didn't even give a single thought to any other reward. In their eyes, serving the supreme one was the best reward anyone could ever get. She was created by the supreme beings for doing their biddings, so how could she ever think of anything that isn't being on the side of her beloved master?
"It's a given, Shalltear. I'll decide upon your reward at a later date."
"As you wish, Lord Ainz."
Even though Shalltear didn't want other rewards, Ainz couldn't accept that. He was their lord, so it was natural.
Although he knew they were loyal to him, showing a little kindness wouldn't hurt and even increase affection. Now in the New World, they had their own conscience , they can feel every emotions. So, Ainz wanted to see them happy, as they were the precious creation of his friends.
For that, showing the affection of someone caring was the best choice. And in reality also, he truly care about all the residence of Nazarick. They were all created by him and his friends with utmost love and care. Although he's replaced the original Ainz from the anime, he can feel the emotions left by Suzuki through his memories.
In the battlefield, Shalltear returned to his side. The members of Black Scripture were on the grounds, with cold sweat on their faces. They couldn't even utter a single word or weren't in the state to listen any further. They were utterly defeated, but that wasn't the problem at hand.
Their enemy had pre-knowledge of their arrival in the great forest of tob, and led them to this fighting arena. They also had enough strength to kill them at a glance, but they didn't. Why? Because, they wanted to toy with them. Like how a devil entertains himself by playing with human lives and souls, Ainz used them as a means of short entertainment.
Now that the entertainment is finished, they're still alive. So, it means Ainz wasn't done with his games. What will await them after this? What will be their fate in the future? Was it to become the puppet of Nazarick or death or... even worse than death? They had no idea. They could only pray for it to merciful.
But will those useless prayer to their gods be able to overturn their fate? The answer was obvious.
"Albedo, cease their weapons and send them for the inspections. As for the members.."
A wide smile appeared on his face. It seemed like an evil idea entered his brain and uttered only three words.
"Demiurge, Happy farm!"
Demiurge also understood the meaning of it as a wide grin also appeared on his face. Happy farm might be a simple terms of congratulations, but for Demiurge it was the valuable increase in resources. Demiurge is also a farmer, but not the ordinary one.
While farmer farms daily necessities of food supply, he farms the supplies for Nazarick. For now, it's in a small scale, as he is in the experimental phase. But soon with the incoming resources like these, he can produce larger supply field for Nazarick.
"Thank you, Lord Ainz."
With these words, Ainz got up from his chair. It wasn't appropriate to sit when their lord was standing. So, all the audience also stood straight up and bowed slightly.
"But remember to get what we need and utilize everything for the benefit of Nazarick."
"Surely, my lord."
With this battle, the member of Black Scripture had already lost their will to fight. Their minds were already starting to break apart. So, it means that it'll be an easy job to extract memories.
Memory extraction was a delicate job, and weak minds will be easy to manipulate. In their previous capture of the leader of Sunlight Scripture, they had already experimented many things. One of them was to perceive the defense spell on their minds.
There was only Nigun at that time, so the experimentation was not completed successfully. But now there are twelve experiment materials. The probability of success will greatly increase with this number. And on the top of that, even if they died he could create a strong undead with their strong bodies.
Ainz thought those things for a few seconds. He was very satisfied with this result, it was a good harvest for Nazarick. Then, he remembered the two little girls he had brought to Nazarick.
"Guide our guests to the room. Also, we should have a feast. Today, all of the Nazarick shall enjoy to their fullest."
Today was a great day for him. He had harvested the strongest combat unit of the Theocracy, Black Scripture, and also got some rare pieces of equipment of New World. So, he wants to celebrate this great time with the members of Nazarick.
"Rest well, miss Lakyus and miss Evileye."
"We will, lord Ainz. Thank you for your generosity." said Lakyus.
"Thank you, lord Ainz. Also, you don't need to be so polite. You can directly call us by our names." said Evileye.
It was a courtesy to use honorifics to the names of strangers in Ainz's previous world. The culture here was also same, but it usually depended on the strength and position of the said individual. The strong will always be respected and the strong can always look down upon the weak.
So, Evileye didn't mind Ainz calling her without honorifics. And she also wanted to get closer to Ainz. They were no strangers at this time, but that doesn't mean they are close.
"Oh! Then, see you at the banquet, Evileye
After saying that, he went to his room to take a rest. Respected guardians and servants also followed his order and went to work.
[Late at Night]
Maids were managing all the things to prepare for the first feast of Nazarick in New World. Ainz was sitting in his office, and Albedo was by his side, giving him a report.
"Demiurge has transported the unconscious to his lab, and all the weapons are stored in the inspection room."
"Mhm.. What about the news of Re-Estize?"
"We have dispatched doppelgangers to instigate conflict in the Noble faction and Royal faction. According to the recent reports, they have reached the capital. As per your calculations, Price Zanac has started to plot against the Princess."
Ainz had formulated a plan to start conflict in the factions. The seed of rebellion was planted after the death of King. But, it will take a long time to grow fully. So, he decided to send his minions to hasten the process.
"Humans are easy to manipulate. And what about Princess?"
"Upon reaching the castle, she has started to monopolize the military. She's intelligent and cunning, unlike other humans. But, Lord Ainz.. Is it necessary to join personal relations with those lower lifeforms? We could easily trample upon those ants."
She said the last part with a little hostility, as she might become the first wife. But she couldn't also harm the Princess because it would hinder her master's plan. She has also heard about the princess from Demiurge.
According to Demiurge, Renner was an intelligent human who wasn't on the support of the humans. She usually shows the facade of the golden princess on the outside, but in reality she was a manipulating puppet master. So, Albedo naturally wants to be wary of her tactics.
But for characters like Lakyus, she couldn't care less, as she had willfully declined the first wife position. Even if she competed, she couldn't stand against Albedo. It wasn't like anyone could match the level of her intelligence, not in the least a brat who is unknown of many things.
Ainz, on the other hand, listening to Albedo's words was a little uncomfortable. The denizens of Nazarick has strength and intelligence that could overturn this world. But, except for Demiurge and Pandora's Actor, all of them only thinks of trampling over humans.
"Albedo, if we kill all of them, then who will we rule upon? For now, it's the best option with less hindrance."
"That's right, Lord Ainz. You always see the bigger picture. It was my insolence to doubt your plan. Forgive me, my lord."
Albedo grovelled on her knees, asking for forgiveness. She had doubted her master and dared to question his actions. From her perspective, it was an offense of highest degree.
"It's alright, Albedo. If you don't understand anything, then you've to ask someone to get your answers. Now, what are the reports about spies?"
Albedo quickly stood up and maintained her composure. She then started to report about the spies that were dispatched to various locations.
"We've successfully infiltrated Baharuth Empire's castle. Slane Theocracy had a complex system, so it'll take some time to slowly make impressions on their staff."
"What about the Holy Kingdom?"
"Demiurge has shown interest to go to the Holy Kingdom to get some livestock. It's still in a hold and requires your permission."
Ainz was sure that Demiurge wanted to experiment on the holy magic of this world, and do some farming. Being an archdemon, he was clearly more interested in the Holy Kingdom. And, it will also be beneficial to Nazarick with a stable production area for the supplies.
"Let him set a lab in the Holy Kingdom. But warn him not to expose himself, and also send some spies to the temple."
"As you wish, Lord Ainz."
Albedo started to follow up on his command and made various changes in the data recorded.
"Where is Shalltear?"
"She should be in her room. Should I call her?"
"No need. Let's visit her. I also have to reward her for her work."
Listening to his words, Albedo felt a little sad but recovered quickly. She consoled herself to not get jealous of Shalltear, as she has also received his affection.
They soon teleported towards Shalltear's room. When they were a few feet away from her door, faint voices could be heard.
"Have you procured, Solution?"
"Yes, lady Shalltear. This slime can completely mimic real breasts."
"Oh~ It's as you say. It's perfect."
"Thank you for the compliment. And, my lady, one important thing, I used lord Ainz's bathwater to materialize this portion."
"Really?... Ahh... tri.. tri.."
Hearing this conversation, Albedo couldn't control herself and charged through the door.
"Bang.."
In front of her, Shalltear was on the ground while the liquid was leaking from her legs. Solution on the other hand was shocked by the sudden outburst from the door.
"You Lamprey.. disgusting bit*h."
"Oh~ Albedo? When did you arrive?~"
Shalltear asked while moaning as her face was full red. But soon lowered her head, when she noticed Ainz was also there.
"L..Lord Ainz? Th..This.."
"Ahem! Finish your business and meet me at my office. Albedo, you too."
Looking at her pitiful sight, he could only frown.
'This was the result of his bathwater only? How much of a pervert can she be?'
Not wanting to spend any time there, Ainz immediately teleported to his room. Inside the room, he was still hoping for her arrival as many thoughts were going in his head.
