Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 441 Ainz Ooal Gown and Suzuki Satoru

After the battle was over, the Platinum Dragon King said goodbye to Lu Chen: "Since you have defeated your opponents, I will leave here first."

He wanted to look for the NPC's whereabouts. He believed that such a powerful NPC would definitely be resurrected. That way, he would be able to find all traces of the players who appeared this time.

Lu Chen waved to him and said, "Remember to contact me if you have any big jobs in the future."

Lu Chen had no interest in the armor controlled by the Platinum Dragon King. What he wanted were the world props. The Platinum Dragon King's Eight Desire Kings' equipment was of no use to Lu Chen.

Next, it’s time to plan the next world item.

As a newly emerged Mithril-level adventurer, Feifei, who had just defeated the undead invasion conspiracy in the town, received a message that shocked him greatly. This message was delivered by Albedo.

Shalltear, who was out on a mission, was killed by an unknown entity!

This news shocked Ainz, who had been immersed in the fact that he had initially established a connection with the world.

He didn't even need to fight with the air, the enemy had already appeared in front of him.

So he hurried back to the inn and used teleportation magic to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

In the guild, Ainz returned to his former self as the Ruler of Death. He was initially anxious, but upon seeing his men, his tone calmed.

Albedo looked at Ainz with love in her eyes and said, "Ainz-sama, welcome home."

Then he asked Albedo, who had sent him the message:

"Albedo, regarding the matter mentioned in the [Message]..."

Albedo, the Great Tomb's chief steward, explained the situation, "According to reliable intelligence, Shalltear has been killed in battle. We have no information on the enemy."

Ainz retrieved the list of NPCs he controlled. Sure enough, Shalltear's name was now blank. This proved that Shalltear had indeed been killed.

"So, have you asked Sebastian for any relevant information?"

Sebastian had traveled a considerable distance with Shalltear earlier, so if there was any information, he would have known.

Albedo had already contacted Sebastian before, so she immediately replied, "Yes, I've already made inquiries. According to Sebastian, they encountered bandits. Later, I heard that Shalltear went to their lair alone to capture them. He was also surprised that Shalltear was killed, but from what I can tell, he wasn't lying. So, he probably had nothing to do with it."

Ainz, who had extensive experience battling the air, gave the order: "Increase alert immediately! The enemy may be heading our way."

Ainz then spoke with some concern, "We must immediately resurrect Shalltear and learn all the information from her."

NPCs can be revived after being killed, and consuming resources can revive them without loss. Otherwise, they will lose 5 levels.

Although there is only a difference of 100 levels between level 95 and level 5, the difference is huge in actual combat.

The piles of gold vanished, and Shalltear reappeared in the great tomb.

The resurrected Shalltear, still remembering her failure, immediately fell to her knees and begged Ainz for punishment: "Ainz-sama, I have disappointed you. Please punish me!"

Ainz did not blame his friend for the children he created. He wanted to know what had happened. Even he himself could not say that he could defeat them.

"What on earth did you encounter?"

Shalltear didn't hide anything and told Ainz everything about her experience. Ainz pondered this. He had previously destroyed a team that could summon angels. Then, Shalltear was killed by such a person.

It's hard not to suspect that this is revenge from the God-believing Slaine Theocracy.

"The person who killed you claimed that it was God's will? Could he be from the Slaine Theocracy?"

Anderson's habitual words had caused Ainz to misjudge the situation. However, he had always considered all the surrounding countries to be enemies.

Albedo immediately asked, "Could we send a troop toward the Theocracy to gather intelligence?"

"If they have the power to kill Shalltear, then anyone we send will be in danger. We must continue gathering intelligence. Let's continue gathering intelligence from the Kingdom first."

Demiurge immediately began to flatter him, "Ainz-sama, you are truly far-sighted."

As for what he was thinking, no one knows.

Meanwhile, as Ainz issued his order, all the NPCs remaining in the Great Tomb took action.

Under normal circumstances, this would just be another battle of wits and courage with the air.

But at this moment, the Platinum Armored Man, who was searching for his target, appeared from above the Great Tomb. His strength was far greater than that of the natives.

Because this armor is not his original body, the Platinum Dragon King has always been rather extravagant.

His appearance immediately alerted Ainz, who hadn't expected someone to be searching for him. Had he been in this world for only a few days, and already he was exposed?

Could it be that the players from the guild that is hostile to me have also traveled through time?

However, due to Ainz's previous orders, the Platinum Dragon King was unable to see through the guild's disguise. He left without noticing anything unusual.

The resurrection of Shalltear cost the Great Tomb of Nazarick a great deal of gold. Ainz, being cautious by nature, decided to invade the weaker nations around him in order to prevent the next NPC from being killed and unable to be resurrected properly.

This time, his goal was to secure sufficient gold reserves. Anderson's claims of being a god led Ainz to misjudge the strength of the Silian Theocracy. The appearance of the Platinum Dragon King exacerbated this impression.

On the other side, Sebastian was in chaos. He unexpectedly met Lord Ainz in the royal capital.

Suzuki Satoru and Keno were strolling on the street. They had already established contact with Blue Rose.

His mind told him that Lord Ainz was still in the Great Tomb, but his instinct told him that this person was Lord Ainz himself.

Combined with the previous experience of Shalltear being killed, Sebastian wondered if Lord Ainz thought that he might be in danger in the royal capital, so he came to support him?

Without giving Sebastian time to think, he instinctively approached Suzuki Satoru, knelt down and said:

"Ainz-sama, do you have any instructions for coming here?"

Suzuki Satoru was also surprised to see Sebastian. He met Sebastian again after meeting Takimi.

This convinced Suzuki Satoru that Takimi must have traveled through time as well, otherwise how could Sebastian be here? He didn't know why he was being called Ainz-sama, but Ainz Ooal Gown was the name of their guild, so it was fine to address him that way.
