The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Shalltear, whose ashes were scattered by John and resurrected by Ainz with a huge amount of gold coins, was gritting her teeth and wished she could rush to the imperial capital with her "dropper spear" and carry out a bloodbath to put an end to the hatred in her heart.

Although the other guardians did not speak, judging from the aura they inadvertently emitted, they were definitely not in a restless mood.

Demiurge pinched his brows in a headache, "Do you want Ainz-sama's "sacrifice" to be ruined?"

After hearing this, Albedo and Shalltear calmed down.

But I still feel unhappy.

Demiurge then said, “Oh, don’t you understand Ainz-sama’s intention? The reason why he condescended to set foot in such a filthy place was for the sake of our entire Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick!”

What does this mean?

Could it be that... going to that kind of place to have fun is also part of Ainz-sama's plan!

All of a sudden, all the Guardians turned their eyes to Demiurge.

Demiurge pushed up his glasses and said, "Although I am not even a fraction as smart as Ainz-sama, with his foresight, wouldn't he have guessed that after entering the Imperial Capital, JoJo would definitely go to that kind of place to have fun?

No, this is impossible! Lord Ainz had anticipated a situation like this, so he took advantage of the situation and deliberately revealed his whereabouts to act in a high-profile manner.

The purpose is to lure out 'those guys'!"

"Those guys..." All the guardians thought thoughtfully.

And in the scene, several hooded men indeed approached Ainz and John.

Because Ainz was not interested in having fun, he quickly spotted the hooded men.

After a careful look, he found that although these people were only in their twenties, they were much stronger than ordinary humans. And judging from their temperament, they did not seem to be adventurers.

Jon pretended to be drunk and turned his head. "What? Are you here to clink glasses with me again? There's really nothing I can do."

He staggered to his feet.

The hooded man in the lead looked Jon up and down. The monocle on his eye socket flashed white light and his face changed instantly. "How... is this possible? Could it be a "god"? "

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he said to John in a very friendly manner: "Mr. JOJO, you are the Mr. JOJO who destroyed the undead monsters in the E-Rantel Plains, right?"

"Who are you?" Jon asked.

The hooded man signaled his men with his eyes to disperse the prostitutes.

After all the strangers had left, he introduced himself: "You can call me Maxim. I was born in the Theocracy."

The Theocracy, whose full name is 'Silian Theocracy', is located in the south of the kingdom. It is the oldest human country and was established by the "Six Great Gods" six hundred years ago.

By the way, the highest decision-making body of the Church is the Council of Priests, which consists of 12 people. The total population exceeds 15 million, and it is a country that strives to make humans stronger and more prosperous by defeating other powerful races.

Upon hearing the identity of the visitor, Ainz’s heart was moved.

Come to think of it, those people who could summon angels that he met when he just crossed over were also from the Silan Theocracy.

Jon smiled and said, "So you are from the Church. How disrespectful... Then what do you want to talk to me about?"

Maxim groaned for a moment and said, "For a strong man like you, it would be a waste of talent to be just an adventurer.

To be honest, I heard about your feat in the Church Kingdom, and I deliberately used magic to rush to the Imperial Capital, just to make your acquaintance."

"It's more than just getting to know each other, right?" Jon smiled brightly. "From the looks in your eyes, I can see that you seem to be very interested in me..."

Maxim was slightly stunned, but he admitted it openly, "I would like to invite you to join the Theocracy to expand the top combat power of mankind."

The monocle he wears on his eye socket is actually a rare magic item that can roughly determine the target's level.

After destroying Shalltear, the highest level vampire ancestor, John's level rose from his original level to over sixty.

Such strength is bound to make the Silian Theocracy jealous!

Jon smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to being idle, and I don't plan to join any country. However, I am willing to show some goodwill to the Church. If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely help."

Rejected?

It doesn't matter.

The strong have always been like this.

Maxim felt a little regretful, but he didn't show it on his face.

The other party has already expressed that he has no aversion to the Theocracy, and this alone is enough.

As for the future.

Hey, who can tell what will happen in the future?

Maxim and a group of envoys from the Theocracy touched their chests and saluted.

One party has intention, the other party has heart.

The few of them quickly became familiar with Jon.

Ainz was standing by with mixed feelings.

Because in Demiurge's contingency plan, the Slaine Theocracy was a target they had to win over.

But seeing the people representing the Church calling JOJO brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but wonder, if one day the devil came out to destroy all living things, would these guys regret their decision at this time...

The atmosphere became increasingly heated.

After three rounds of drinks, Maxim blinked and took the opportunity to say to John: "Sir JOJO, speaking of which, not far from Ye Lantier where you were before, something unusual suddenly occurred.

To be honest, even many of our people from within the church have disappeared there inexplicably."

Ainz, who had been pretending to be a wooden man, was slightly moved.

Are you talking about those guys who summoned angels back then?

Just thinking about it.

Maxim added: "Mr. JOJO, you are incredibly powerful. I'm sure there are few things in this world that you can't do, right?"

These words were full of flattery and praise, and Jon was completely confused.

He deliberately showed a proud and complacent look, patted his chest, and said, "You are right. No matter what kind of commission it is, our Phantom Troupe can handle it for you!"

“That’s great. The name of the Phantom Troupe has become well-known recently.” Maxim turned his head and gave Ainz a kind smile.

Ainz felt a little uneasy, and nodded silently.

Maxim then said: "I have a commission here."

As he spoke, he pulled out a sheepskin map from his pocket and said, "Please find out what abnormal situation is happening in this area."

As Ainz lowered his head, his premonition instantly became a reality.

The location marked on Maxim's map is exactly where the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is located.

Although it is a bit general, it is basically the same.

“After all, something went wrong.” Ainz sighed inwardly.

Jon rolled his eyes, "I can't miss such an interesting mission."

He even deliberately asked Ainz, "Fei Fei, don't you think so?"

“Ah… yes…” Ainz didn’t know how to answer, so he could only respond perfunctorily.

At the same time, on the 10th floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Demiurge smiled and said to the Guardians, "See, this is the true purpose of Lord Ainz. Haha, not only JOJO, but the whole world is just a pawn in the hands of the Supreme Being."

"Oh!" Almost all guardians expressed their highest respect for the wisdom of the Supreme Being.

Although some of them are not clear.

But one thing is certain.

That is, the silent war with the 'Messenger of God' is finally moving to their home turf.

Nazarick is ready to fight the enemy!

Chapter 380: Could it be... kidnapping a woman?

The Silian Theocracy's commission was not given solely to the Phantom Troupe.

In fact, many powerful adventurer teams have received the news.

"Exploration" is one of the simplest tasks.

Moreover, according to the unwritten rules among adventurers, all the gains from exploration can be used for their own benefit.

If it were somewhere else, Ainz would probably be full of energy, trying every possible way to generate revenue for the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

but……

Your own home?

He had a headache.

I don’t know how to face this speechless fact.

"Well, it's just a simple mission. Feifei, you don't have to worry so much." Jon smiled and said, "The Silian Theocracy is very profitable. Don't worry about them not being able to pay."

Am I worried about money?

I'm worried about my life!

The lives of our entire family!

Ainz forced himself to cheer up, "Haha, I'm not worried, it's just... JOJO, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Jon blinked his eyes. "No, I haven't. You know, I used to fight in the underworld. I was always hungry and had to live happily every day. Now my life is better, but it seems to be no different from before."

So - it is this kind of temperament that makes people suffer!

Ainz couldn't help but think that if JOJO was really like those classic protagonists in light novels, he would have at least a hundred ways to control her.

Unfortunately, this guy's heart is sometimes even darker than mine, and he's very difficult to deal with...

While they were daydreaming, they found Narberal and Solution, who were already settled in the inn. When they explained the situation, the two women's expressions suddenly became a little strange.

But in front of Jon, they didn't dare to reveal it, and just nodded calmly to indicate that they already knew it.

Jon snapped his fingers. "Then it's a happy decision! Tomorrow we will meet up with our fellow adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild, and then return to E-Rantel to explore the 'abnormal land' designated by the Theocracy."

Hearing this, Ainz and the other two smiled in response.

……

……

The throne room on the tenth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

After being teleported back in a hurry, Ainz's body was flashing with the green light of "Forced Calmness".

I wanted to summon all the guardians to discuss the matter immediately.

However, unexpectedly, most of the high-end combat forces of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, including the combat maids led by Sebastian, knelt on one knee with fanatical expressions on their faces.

"Lord Ainz is so foresighted. We admire him deeply."

"Wisdom reaches thousands of years, the Supreme Being!"

“Ainz-sama is so amazing. You have manipulated those humans into doing the exact same thing as you want.”

"I...I think so, too."

“Well, please don’t get too excited. With Ainz-sama’s wisdom, isn’t it natural for him to do this?”

"Demiurge is right. Both JOJO and the Silian Theocracy are merely flags in the hands of Ainz-sama."

Ainz: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

Wait a minute, what are you talking about?

Why don’t I understand!

He looked at the chief steward Albedo, coughed lightly and said, "Albedo, what on earth is this..."

Upon hearing the question, the succubus, who was dignified and beautiful a second ago, immediately lost her composure.

However, Albedo's eyes were full of love, and her legs were clamped together intentionally or unintentionally. She said with a silly smile, "Ainz-sama, are you still playing dumb? We already know your plan."

At the bottom of the stairs, Demiurge pushed up his glasses and said with a half-smug half-sigh, "I thought that after the failure of the Golden Princess, the plan against JOJO was in a dilemma, and coupled with the incident with Shalltear..."

“I…I really don’t remember anything, wuwuwu.” Shalltear replied with tears in her eyes.
