Chapter 114 Information about the Dwarf Kingdom and the Frost Dragon King
When only Ainz and Albedo were left, Ainz opened his mouth and said:
"Tell me, Albedo, do you have any new ideas?"
"Yes, Ainz-sama."
Albedo walked to Ainz's side.
When there are only two of them around, she doesn't need to be overly cautious, which is also the right Ainz gave her.
"During this time, Hanzo and other monsters that are good at concealment and detection have spread over a wide range."
"None of the three major powers, the Bajas Empire, the Kingdom of Li-Estij, and the Kingdom of the Holy Kingdom, have found any information about other Supreme Beings."
"When I was about to expand the search area again... I encountered obstacles."
"Barrier?"
Ainz pondered for a while, then asked:
"Was it discovered by someone?"
"Yes."
Has even a monster with a special concealment ability been discovered? It seems that it is not a simple guy.
"Slane Theocracy, the Council, and the Dragon Kingdom."
"According to the descriptions of Hanzo and others, the Silian Theocracy and the Council have strong detection methods, but it is not difficult to enter the country, but some important buildings in the capital have strong detection methods."
"Once you step in, it's hard not to be discovered."
"It should be the core of the country, so the level of alert is quite high."
Ainz nodded.
"Understandable."
Kingdoms and Holy Kingdoms also have similar places, such as palaces and the like, but because the country is too weak, it is not worth mentioning.
From this point of view, the national strength of the Slan Theocracy and the Council should be more than a little bit stronger than the Kingdom and the Empire.
In terms of the importance level of intelligence, it will also be higher.
"What about the Dragon Kingdom? Is it a similar situation?"
"No, in the Dragon Kingdom, even the gate of the country cannot be entered."
"Huh? Is this the judgment of Hanzo and the others?"
"Yes, the eight-limb knife assassins who joined the team temporarily cannot guarantee that they can hide their bodies."
The eight-limb knife assassin is arranged on the ninth floor to monitor the surrounding monsters, in order to prevent unknown enemies from invading.
Its own level is not high, but it has super high concealment and assassination methods.
Even they judged that they could not sneak into the Dragon Kingdom, which means that there are people in the Dragon Kingdom who are also proficient in this area, or some anti-reconnaissance props.
"I remember that the Dragon Kingdom is a country that adheres to the strategy of closing the country."
Ainz asked while thinking.
Just a few days after arriving in another world, I got a not-so-clear map and learned about the general and generally recognized "status quo" of this continent.
The Dragon Kingdom is a closed country, and it is no secret among neighboring countries.
Except for some designated caravans to ensure the circulation of goods, no one else will be allowed to enter, and no diplomacy will be conducted.
After thinking for a while, there was no result, so he turned to Albedo and asked:
"Then Albedo, what do you think?"
"According to the information we have collected, the Dragon Kingdom adopted a closed-door attitude 200 years ago. The specific reason is unknown. It is said that it was the decision of the previous emperor."
"The emperor who is succeeding now does not have any information about him, and he never appears in public."
"It is rumored that the Dragon Kingdom was established by a dragon king, but this kind of information is enough to infer from the name of the Dragon Kingdom."
Albedo paused for a moment before expressing her thoughts.
"Lord Ainz, no matter what, the intelligence of these three countries must be obtained."
"The undead dragon that appeared that day, as well as that huge monster, are likely to be dragons, and they may have some relationship with the Dragon Kingdom."
"But the Dragon Kingdom is too far away, it is not wise to rush to that unknown land."
"And the review country is located in the southeast of the kingdom, and it is also separated by an entire kingdom."
"Although the Theocracy is relatively close, it is a country established by the six great gods after all, and there is no guarantee that the other party will leave behind any means."
"So, my subordinates believe that we should start with the surrounding areas first."
To start, naturally refers to encroachment.
Ainz could still understand such common words.
"The surrounding area? Do you mean the kingdom, or the remaining half of the empire? Or"
"Just as Ainz-sama thought."
"."
As expected?He didn't think about anything!
I deliberately left half a sentence in order not to make my answer appear too "stupid".
Because even Ainz knew that now was not a good time to attack the kingdom or empire, but he couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Just let Albedo figure it out by herself.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he has "practiced" this kind of speech on purpose.
"Well, it seems that you have seen through my thoughts."
"No, this subordinate has only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of your wisdom. If it weren't for your guidance, this subordinate would not have noticed your thoughts, Mr. Ainz."
"."
Still a little awkward.
"Stop complimenting me, Albedo, tell me what you saw."
Well, let's just skip this topic, otherwise I will have to force myself to remain calm again.
"According to the investigations of the past few days, a dwarf kingdom has been discovered around the Sorcerous Kingdom."
"Dwarf country?"
Does this kind of creature exist in this world?
"The dwarves in YGGDRASIL are generally good at forging, and will also learn many manufacturing skills. I don't know if the dwarves in this world also have this ability."
'If we can also forge high-quality weapons and armor, it will be of great benefit to both Nazarick and the Sorcerous Kingdom. '
Then it is necessary to bring the opponent under his command!
Maybe you can still know about the "Rune Rune" information, or even
Ability to forge equipment with "Rune Runes" attached!
"Yes, and at the same time, many veins were found in the surrounding area."
"Mine lode!"
This is good stuff!
Especially the "seven-color mine"!
It was something that even Ainz wanted!
You know, in YGGDRASIL, the "seven-color ore" has a chance to produce a world-class item "thermal stone"!
Sensing that Ainz was agitated, Albedo immediately said:
"The original kingdom of the dwarves was abandoned, it seems to be because of the Frost Dragon."
"Find the trace of the dragon?"
"Yes, the relevant information should be sent back within today."
"That's it"
Could it have something to do with that undead dragon?
Ainz didn't know, but the ones sent out were monsters, so it didn't matter even if they died, as long as the information could be sent back.
However, the news about the vein
Be it monsters or guardians, if there are "seven-color veins" and "thermal stones" are produced, they may not be able to distinguish them.
It is also impossible to move the entire vein back.
If you leave it there, the enemy might notice it.
If you are fully prepared to go, you may also fall into the enemy's trap.
'what can we do about it'
'By the way, let the monsters go to investigate the mine veins, and use surveillance magic to command remotely. '
Ainz thought of a way.
Monitoring is not as clear as on-site, and the efficiency may be much slower, but it is at least a safe method.
However, more people should be dispatched to deal with emergencies.
"Make a decision later, send people out first, and expand the search from the center of the dwarf country, don't let go of any clues."
"I see, Ainz-sama."
Go, definitely have to go.
Not only "thermal stones", if the dwarves can forge "runes", then it is necessary for them to join the Sorcerous Kingdom.
Negotiate first, then invade.
Buying people's hearts is the safest way to rule.
It's just that monsters can't negotiate, at least they have to send humanoid creatures.
Moreover, it is not to prepare for the battle, but to be prepared to escape at any time.
PS: Who should I send? The [-]-level NPC is definitely not good enough. Pandora's Actor still has to play Feifei, Ainz dare not go out, and the maids are a bit weak except for the last sister.
I’ve been a bit stuck recently, because the pace has been accelerated, I need to think about how to write this chapter, and by the way, read the fan fictions of Ghost Blowing Lantern and Tomb Raiders to think about it, and it’s definitely not because I’m fascinated by watching Ghost Blowing Lantern!
