Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 347 Provocation
After hearing what Momonga said, the smile on Gilkniver's face became even more forced.

After all, in his opinion, Feishu was planning to keep everyone here to do something.

Even though Rose had just saved him from a crisis that almost put him to shame, Gilkniver still didn't feel safe at all.

To him, the Great Tomb of Nazarick was a demon castle, and the flying squirrel sitting on the stage was the demon lord who controlled death.

Staying in the Devil's Castle for a night, facing all kinds of demonic torture methods?

What a joke!
Even a fool wouldn't agree to that!
"No, no, no, don't worry about it. I have to go back early to make various preparations." Gilkniver didn't dare to stay any longer and made excuses quickly.

"Is that so? That's a pity. If you don't mind, how about I... no, I'll send someone to give you a ride?" Flying Squirrel continued.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we came here by carriage after all, so let's go back by carriage." Although Gilkniver was very curious about the flying squirrel's methods, he still refused. After all, he didn't want to owe favors to others unnecessarily.

"The headless horse of the undead monster can never sleep."

".Sorry, I appreciate your kindness."

"Is that so? Before you leave, could you introduce me to this beautiful and powerful woman next to you?" Momonga had not mentioned Rose until this moment.

In an instant, Rose felt three gazes filled with strong murderous intent.

It goes without saying that these three gazes came from Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura.

"Sir Gong, this is my personal bodyguard Rose, Knight Rose Oliana." Gilkniver had a bad feeling and quickly answered.

"Knight Rose Oliana, you are the first strong person in a long time who is not affected by the Word Spirit Technique and can easily help others get rid of Demiurge's Word Spirit. I admire you very much.

And I sincerely invite you to join the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Given our current alliance, I think Lord Gilkenifer will be happy to see it happen. What do you think?" Momonga looked at Rose and asked.

“Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. However, compared to you who have already reached the pinnacle, I am just a newcomer who has stepped into the realm of mythology by chance. Dispelling the influence of word spirits is just a small trick that is not worthy of such praise.

As for your invitation, I am also very grateful. But unfortunately, I am somewhat overshadowed by the three beautiful and powerful women around you, so please allow me to refuse.

After all, unlike outstanding men who may be able to cherish each other, it is often not so easy for outstanding women to get along harmoniously. "Rose's eyes moved slightly, but then she shook her head and refused.

"Is that so? That's such a pity." Momonga was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the three women around him. After sensing the murderous intent in them, he immediately understood what Rose was referring to.

Of course, Momonga knew better that even if Albedo and the others did not hate Rose, she would not agree.

After all, if you really want to, there won't be so many reasons.

On the contrary, if you don't want to, you can find many excuses.

"Sir Gong, we will take our leave now." Gilkniver said quickly. After all, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After all, if Rose hadn't been unwilling, he would have lost a super strong person who had entered the realm of mythology.

When he thought of this, Gilkniver couldn't help but want to slap himself in the face.

He is a powerful being in the realm of mythology!

Even a powerful person like Ainz Ooal Gown personally invited him.

And the old man who raised me is just a powerful man who has entered the realm of legend.

But even this legendary territory is enough to make the surrounding countries wary.

When Gilkenifer thought about how he had treated Rose before, he regretted it to death.

Fortunately, the other party had a good temper and did not care about it, otherwise if he left the empire in anger, it would have been a huge loss for the empire.

"Sebastian, please send Lord Gilkenifer and Knight Rose off for me." Momonga said to Sebastian who was standing aside.

"Yes, Lord Ainz! Please follow me!" Sebastian said as he walked out and led the group.

The reason why Yuri was not allowed to deliver was because she was not qualified.

After all, Rose is a strong person who has entered the realm of mythology, and she should maintain the minimum respect for the strong. In addition, there is also a layer of monitoring here.

It's a pity that Momonga and the other members don't know what Rose's eyes mean.

In fact, the tenth and ninth underground floors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick had already been scanned by Rose who had entered the throne room.

In fact, with the perspective and farsightedness of the Samsara Eye, Rose can see the surface from the tenth floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick without any obstruction.

But unfortunately, the obstructions between the layers of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are very strong, and it is not just visual obstruction, there are also spatial obstructions and so on.

The people who designed and built the tomb probably took this into consideration, and that’s why they made such thorough preparations.

After all, if there weren't these obstacles, Reed would have seen through the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick at a glance, so how could he need Rose to follow in openly to steal information?

"I'm flattered!" Gilkniver said modestly.

After all, Rose had just said that the monsters on the stage were at the pinnacle of the mythology realm.

When such a strong person leads the way, it is necessary to maintain a humble attitude.

With trepidation, he exited the throne room and passed through the huge portal.

The long-lost sunshine finally shone on everyone.

However, even the warmest sunshine cannot dispel the haze left in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, please forgive me for not seeing you off." Sebastian said after coming out.

"Please go back, Lord Sebastian!" This time it was Rose who spoke.

Upon hearing this, Sebastian did not linger, but turned around and walked through the portal, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"I survived!" Renas, who had been tense all the time, couldn't help but let out a sigh, and there was even a hint of crying in her tone.

But no one laughed at Reinas at this moment. After all, everyone who went to the Great Tomb of Nazarick seemed to have experienced a journey into the abyss.

Rose was the only one who remained calm, and Fruda, who had already been betrayed, was probably the only one who remained calm.

As for the others, some showed fear on their faces. If it weren't for maintaining his dignity, Gilkenifer's expression might not be much better than that of Renas, who was showing her true feelings.

You know, he was the one who was under the greatest pressure between the thrones just now.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. I can't stay here for a moment." Even Bajude, who was usually quite calm, couldn't help but urge him at this moment.

"Let's get in the car and get ready to go. Please join me, Ms. Rose!" After giving a brief instruction, Gilkenifer invited Rose.

"It's my honor, Your Majesty! But before that," Rose said, and her figure disappeared from Gilkenifer's sight. When she appeared again, she was already behind Fruda.

"Hmm?" Fluda seemed to be aware of the person behind him, but he was only aware of it because Rose did not give him any time to react.

He simply reached out and grabbed Fruda's neck, then sucked him.

The next moment, all the magic power and vitality in Fluda's body were drained by Rose.

This scene shocked everyone in the Bahas Empire.

After doing all this, Rose threw Fluda's body to the few subordinates he brought with him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, what do you think my actions at this moment mean?"

Upon hearing this, Gilkniver's shock and confusion faded away, and he began to think rapidly.

After all, after arriving at the outskirts of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Rose attacked twice in order to save his face.

Moreover, he was facing a group of powerful people in the mythological realm, so Gilkniver didn't believe that Rose's actions would be disadvantageous to him.

But before he could figure it out, Rose spoke again: "You guys take this old guy's body with you, because staying here will be seen as a provocation, although my actions themselves are already a provocation.

But this time the other party took the initiative and did not make some things clear, so at this moment it is an internal matter of the Bahas Empire and they have no right to interfere. Then what I want to say is that before returning to the empire, you'd better come up with a reasonable reason to prove that you and Furuda are not in cahoots.

In that case, I think His Majesty will be merciful and forgive you, and will most likely choose someone from among you to inherit the power of the Ministry of Magic. It depends on your choice, whether it is heaven or hell."

After saying that, Rose said nothing more. She gestured to Gilkenifer to get in the carriage and then walked straight towards it.

While thinking, Gilkniver got on the carriage.

Only after he sat down did the confused look in his eyes finally dispel.

He finally understood why Rose wanted to kill Fluda.

"Betrayal!" Gilkniver said.

"It seems that Your Majesty finally understands!" Rose said calmly while sitting opposite Gilkenifer.

"Sir Rose, when did you find out?" Gilkniver asked.

"Your Majesty, do you think I was wasting my life by staying in the palace for half a year? During this half year, I have gained a certain understanding of the important figures in the palace, especially Fruda. After all, his character is too easy to be exploited by those with ulterior motives." Rose smiled faintly.

“Indeed, given the old man’s personality, he should have cried and begged to stay after meeting Ainz Ooal Gown, but he acted out of character. There is only one truth behind this, and that is that he had met Ainz Ooal Gown in advance.

Because he knew that, he was able to leave the Great Tomb of Nazarick with us so calmly. Now that I think about it, it was his suggestion to discover the Great Tomb of Nazarick and send "workers" to explore. I should have thought of it earlier. "When Gilkenifer said this, he was already gritting his teeth.

It was not until Gilkenifer finished speaking that Bajord and Nippur, who followed him into the car, finally understood what Rose was talking about with her own Majesty.

At the same time, I also understood why Rose killed Fluda as soon as she left the Great Tomb of Nazarick, instead of waiting until she returned home.

Naturally, he deeply understood what Rose's words meant by provocation.

While Rose was talking to Gilkenifer, a conversation was also going on between the thrones on the tenth floor underground of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

“Ainz-sama, Fluda was killed by Rose outside her home in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Do you need me to cut that woman into pieces?”

As soon as Rose took action, Momonga and other members who were monitoring the entrance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick using a map between the thrones witnessed everything.

It was precisely because of this that Albedo was so furious. After all, Fluda was a defector personally recruited by her beloved Momonga.

“Lord Ainz, please let me go. That woman’s killing methods and the aura on her body give me a familiar feeling. I also want to verify what race this Rose is.” Shalltear also spoke.

"Reject, Albedo, Shalltear, the other party killed Fluda to tell us that she has seen through our previous arrangements. From our point of view, she is a provocation by removing the chess piece we planted.

But from her point of view, it was to clean up the traitors. Because on the surface, Fluda was from the Bahas Empire, so this was their internal affairs, so even if they formed an alliance, we had no right to interfere.

After all, we did not ask for the Bahas Empire to be affiliated, so we are both equals. Therefore, this is a contest of strategy, so we should deal with it strategically. "Flying Squirrel made up a random excuse to perfunctorily answer.

Because Rose was a complete stranger to him, he didn't want Albedo and Shalltear to act blindly.

After all, Shalltear had met a powerful man who used lightning magic in the outskirts of E-Rantel before, which proved that this world was not short of powerful beings.

That's why he wanted to be safe first.

As for Fluda, he took refuge in the Great Tomb of Nazarick but was killed.

If it had been an opponent like the Eight Fingers, the underground organization of the Kingdom of Re-Estize, he would have certainly used the fact that Ainz Ooal Gown's reputation had been blasphemed and taken strong action.

But for Rose, who also entered the realm of mythology, the situation was different.

Because Rose could really cause damage to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. At least the number of members in the Great Tomb of Nazarick who could fight Rose was limited to the ones currently standing here.

Maybe if you look carefully you can find two or three more, but that’s not the key.

The key point is that Momonga doesn't know who is sure to win against Rose.

The lack of information about Rose was the reason why Momonga was unwilling to let Albedo and Shalltear take action.

Because once you take action but fail to kill the opponent, you have to be on guard against the opponent's revenge at all times.

Even if she kills the other person, how can she guarantee that there is no strong person in her interpersonal relationships who can avenge her?

Carrying out an irrational assassination for a person who has no value anymore, and thus being targeted by one or a group of powerful people in the mythological realm, is definitely not a stupid thing a wise person would do.
