Chapter 531

Baharuth Empire, Royal Palace.

At this moment, the young Empire Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix, known as the "Bloody Emperor," was also discussing the Adamantite-ranked adventurers Shengzai and Momon with his secretary-general and the Empire's strongest "Four Knights."

"The continent has been becoming more and more turbulent recently. First, it was the undead army, and then it was a powerful vampire.

Now, two Adamantite-ranked adventurers, Dark Momon and Lord Xiuluo, have popped up.

Powerful monsters and heroes are appearing on the stage one after another."

"Dark Momon annihilated the ogres and goblins heading north, subdued the 'Wise King of the Forest' in the Great Forest, wiped out the undead army at the cemetery west of the Kingdom, and now has subjugated a powerful vampire.

Lord Xiuluo passed the Eight Greed Kings' trial that even the old man couldn't pass, along with the Adamantite-ranked adventurer 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei.'

He crushed the Theocracy's conspiracy and saved the Kingdom's strongest Warrior-Captain, which can also be considered as indirectly helping our Empire.

No matter which guy it is, they are quite extraordinary existences. What do you think?"

After glancing at the information on Shengzai and Ainz in his hand, the Empire Emperor looked at his subordinates beside him and asked.

Compared to the heir to the throne in the Kingdom, Empire Emperor Jircniv was undoubtedly a ruler who possessed both talent and personal charisma.

During his reign over the Empire, he not only abolished many useless nobles who only knew how to suck the blood of the Empire, but also appointed people based on merit.

As long as someone had talent, he only looked at their strength, without considering their status, personality, or loyalty, and would choose to reuse them. Although young, he was a ruler with quite a lot of courage.

And under his rule over these years, the national strength of the Baharuth Empire had been increasing day by day. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Third Prince in the Kingdom, the Empire's national strength and population would probably have already surpassed the Kingdom's.

And as the ruler of the Empire, the Empire Emperor was also someone who knew how to listen to suggestions. Although it was an absolute monarchy, the Bloody Emperor was not a dictator.

"Adventurers are always guys who like to exaggerate facts. However, even if these two people can rival the Kingdom's Warrior-Captain Gazef Stronoff.

But as long as our 'Four Knights' go together, we should be able to win, right?"

The person who said this with a confident face was exactly "Lei Guang - Baziwood" among the Empire's "Four Knights."

And besides him, the remaining members of the Four Knights were respectively:

Gale - Nimble

Heavy Explosion - Leinas

Immovable - Nazami

Lei Guang and Immovable were big men, Gale was a handsome man, and Heavy Explosion was a mature woman. People who could be selected as the "Four Knights" could all obtain the title of Count of the Empire.

The level of the "Four Knights" was about 20 to 25, close to the Heroic Realm, but not yet reaching that level.

"Let's not talk about Momon for now. This adventurer called Lord Xiuluo previously helped us indirectly, allowing us to avoid being scapegoats for the Theocracy.

It is said that he was previously hired by the Kingdom's Third Prince, which is why he went to save Gazef. So, does that mean as long as there is enough benefit, I can also get him to come to the Empire's side?"

Jircniv did not care about loyalty and status, only about the opponent's ability and strength.

In fact, more than two hundred years ago, the "Re-Estize Kingdom" and the "Baharuth Empire" belonged to the same great human nation.

It was just that after the war between the Demon Gods and the Thirteen Heroes more than two hundred years ago, this great nation was destroyed, and only then did it split into the current Kingdom and Empire.

It was also because of this relationship that the Empire and the Kingdom were in a state of war all year round, and a war would break out every autumn harvest season.

Facing this attack falling like a sudden rainstorm, Shengzai pinched a seal with one hand. In the next second, the large amount of water formed by the surrounding water vapor instantly turned into a hemispherical water curtain, completely protecting him in the center.

Not to mention the Kingdom's strongest Warrior-Captain Gazef Stronoff, that genius Third Prince who was famous in the surrounding countries was also a quite tricky target.

When Jircniv targeted the Kingdom, he never took the reigning Kingdom's King Ramposa III seriously, but had always regarded that Third Prince of the Kingdom as his imaginary enemy.

"I will sneak into the Kingdom and try to make contact with 'Lord Xiuluo'."

At the same time, on the side of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, after obtaining the identity of Adamantite-ranked adventurers, Ainz also held a meeting.

And the main content of the meeting was the annihilation of the Kingdom's underground criminal organization "Eight Fingers," and how to enhance the fame of the adventurer Momon while annihilating the opponent, and also to seek certain benefits for Nazarick.

"Eight Fingers" was a criminal organization with eight departments that was rampant in the underground society of the 【Re-Estize Kingdom】.

And this so-called "Eight Fingers" referred to eight underground criminal groups, which were respectively the drug trafficking department, slave trading department, security department, assassination department, theft department, financial department, gambling department, and smuggling department.

The main reason Ainz got involved with "Eight Fingers" was because Shingi Shingi Saiba saved a slave.

And this slave happened to be the older sister of Nia from "Sword of Darkness" whom he had met before.

In order to repay the kindness of Nia telling him quite a lot of information at that time, Ainz intended to help her sister Tuare get revenge.

So after learning that Ainz wanted to wipe out "Eight Fingers," Demiurge suggested that Ainz stage a drama of the Demon Emperor attacking the Royal Capital and a hero saving everything.

This could not only wipe out "Eight Fingers" that had angered the Great Supreme Being, but also increase the reputation of the adventurer Momon, and finally, take advantage of the chaos in the Royal Capital to bring a large number of humans back to Nazarick to serve as consumable supplies.

Hearing this one-stone-three-birds strategy from Demiurge, Ainz was originally prepared to accept it happily, but when he thought of the fact that there was still a Lord Xiuluo in the Kingdom, he couldn't help but look at Demiurge and speak.

"Demiurge, your plan is quite good, but have you forgotten that there are other Adamantite-ranked adventurers in the Kingdom now?

In a situation where the Royal Capital falls into chaos, Kingdom nobles are indeed very likely to hire adventurers for help.

Never mind 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei' mentioned in Shingi Shingi Saiba's information, but have you forgotten that there is also a 'Lord Xiuluo'?"

Ainz had already understood the general information about "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" through the information collected by Shingi Shingi Saiba and Solution.

It could only be said that just as he had expected before, not all Adamantite-ranked adventurers had the strength to rival a level 100 Guardian.

Those few people of "Lord Xiuluo" were completely an exception.

Demiurge's plan just now was good, but what if when the Royal Capital was in crisis, the person who came out to defeat Demiurge, who was playing the Demon Emperor, changed from the adventurer Momon to Lord Xiuluo? Wouldn't they be picking peaches for others again?

Even if he were to fight Demiurge, they would be completely self-directed and self-acted.

But once Lord Xiuluo participated in it, Ainz was very worried that Demiurge would really be beaten to death by Shengzai!
