Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 145 Deliberate Exposure

Princess Lana, as the inviter, had naturally prepared a carriage for the reception and had been waiting at the door for a long time.

After Fang Yu and Bone King's group got into the carriage, the coachman immediately cracked his whip, striking the horse's rump to speed up the return journey.

They've already wasted over an hour. The two steel-class adventurers will definitely be fine, but he's sure to come out on the receiving end.

"Mr. Black Knife, you are truly skilled. Princess Lana said that you obtained all the information about Eight Fingers on your own. I admire you very much."

Even on the carriage, Ainz Ooal Gown continued to gather information, intentionally or unintentionally. Now, about ten days later, he was 80% certain that Black Blade was the one who fought Shalltear and Cocytus that night.

Although he wasn't 100% certain, 80% was enough for him to take action.

After investigating the scene, two groups of people were identified. Although they were all dead, he still managed to bring them all back to life.

One group was a band of robbers and thugs who were all killed by Shalltear, and the other group was members of the Dark Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy.

Among them, the bandits were ordinary people who didn't even know what had happened before they were killed in Shalltear's attack. Since they had no intelligence value, they were handed over to members such as the Terror Lord and the Feast-Eating Fox King for disposal.

Based on information obtained through various means, it can be confirmed that the purpose of another group of members of the Dark Scripture is simply to protect the users of "Alluring Beauty" in order to control the Destruction Dragon King.

These people were first ambushed by a black knife, and then ambushed by an unknown person, so they were all killed instantly.

Now that he knew Black Knife was indeed present, he realized that Black Knife was the key to finding Shalltear and Cocytus.

As for those from the Dark Scripture, they were handed over to Demiurge for processing. The primary purpose was to completely brainwash them, turn them into his own people, and then release them back to the Slane Theocracy as their inside agents.

There are several reasons why he didn't take direct action.

The first point is to take into account his main purpose: to enhance the reputation of the Black Warriors through various means, gain a certain status in the kingdom, and use this as an opportunity for Ainz Ooal Gown to make his official appearance.

Secondly, the Black Blade possesses the world-class item "Alluring Beauty," which is why it can ignore Shalltear's mental immunity as an undead.

However, what puzzled Ainz was that normally "Alluring Beauty" couldn't affect two people at once, and there was a very strict cooldown period after activation. How did Black Blade manage to activate "Alluring Beauty" twice in a row to control Shalltear and Cocytus consecutively?

Of course, this point becomes useless when facing guardians who each possess a world-class item.

Finally, there's the situation with the two guardians, Shalltear and Cocytus. If he wants to accomplish the first point, he can't fight inside the city, otherwise it will definitely damage Ainz Ooal Gown's reputation. But since the Black Blade has been inside the city, he has no choice but to make another plan.

Perfect timing! Since Black Knife is about to take action against Eight Fingers, this is the perfect opportunity to have Demiurge, in his capacity as the demon "Adabao," confront him directly amidst the chaos in the capital.

If it's true, if Black Knife is outmatched, he will inevitably send Shalltear and Cocytus into battle. At that time, all the Guardians will swarm in and kill Black Knife.

Then the Dark Warrior appears, repelling all the attackers and greatly increasing his fame. As for Black Knife, he is a hero who sacrificed himself for his country and deserves everyone's respect.

"Mr. Momo is very curious."

Fang Yu's gaze was deep, as if he could see through one's heart, making Fei Shu feel somewhat uneasy. Although he was very strong now, he had only gained this power for a little over ten days. Before that, he was just an ordinary person with a weak mentality.

Faced with the powerful gaze of someone who had experienced several worlds, he inevitably felt somewhat restrained and dared not look directly at them.

Fortunately, the mask concealed his true feelings, and he immediately feigned composure, saying, "I am indeed very curious. After all, Eight Fingers has been deeply rooted in the kingdom for many years, and almost all the nobles have connections with them. To be able to pinpoint all the people so accurately, it would be a pleasure to witness it."

Through the mask, Flying Squirrel stared intently at Fang Yu's face, trying to discern some clues. However, Fang Yu maintained that gentle smile, making it impossible to observe anything.

"Since that's the case, it's not impossible for you to take a look."

Fang leaned back in his seat and gave Mia a look.

buzzing————

A small bee emerged from Mia's sleeve, deliberately making a flapping sound.

Seeing this, Ainz Ooal Gown's breathing became heavier, and even Bena and Albedo, who were standing next to him, seemed somewhat unsettled.

"Hey, have you all seen my scout bees before?"

Fang Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the hearts of the three of them.

"Ahem, I'm just surprised that Steel Princess's ability is to control bees. This is the first time I've ever seen this. To be honest, these little things are really easy to overlook."

Momonga quickly cleared his throat, reminding Bena and Albedo sitting on his left and right, while explaining repeatedly.

Noticing Lord Ainz's subtle reminder, Bennett and Albedo quickly regained their composure and used actions such as adjusting their clothes or sitting posture to cover up their earlier lapse in composure.

Fang Yu squinted. He felt that playing tricks with the flying squirrel was too boring. Such an insult to one's intelligence was something that even a person could see was wrong.

In the game world, Feishu may be a top player, but in reality, his mentality remains at the level of an ordinary person. It's just that his current strength is enough to crush this world.

Bena and Albedo also seem to have difficulty maintaining a normal mindset when facing ordinary people due to their own strength.

This mentality clearly stems from absolute confidence in one's own abilities, to the point that one regards others as insects. Who would maintain composure in front of an insect?

"A very clever little thing, isn't it? I've obtained a lot of useful information thanks to this little thing, and it's also thanks to it that we've been able to gain all sorts of unexpected benefits in the Tobu Great Forest."

Upon hearing these words, Ainz's breathing, which had just calmed down, fluctuated again. This time, he only slightly opened his mouth, barely calming his emotions. Even Bena and the other person beside him did not notice this change in him; they simply sat there pretending to be calm.

If before we could only be 80% certain, now Ainz is 95% certain that Black Blade is the one controlling Shalltear and Cocytus.

There's another 5%, which can only be concluded upon seeing "a beauty that could topple kingdoms".

Hearing the fluctuating breathing, Fang Yu decided to stop stimulating the flying squirrel and signaled Mia to recall the bees.

Sizzle————

Just then, the carriage stopped.

Fang Yu and Mia got out of the car first, and a few seconds later, Feishu and the other two got out of the car.
