Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Let's go. Use the remote observation magic mirror to ensure Lord Momoga's safety. Isn't this the permission you obtained from Lord Momoga?"

After gazing at Demiurge for a moment, Albedo nodded slightly.

"Let's go."

-

Hovering in the air with the magic [Flight], followed by Wan, Momoga, who had applied all the available buffs, raised the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown towards the mountains and forests.

"Zheng Jing! Do you dare to fight me!"

Through amplification magic, Momoga's roar echoed through the mountains and forests.

Just seconds later, a golden light rose into the sky from the depths of the forest.

"Haha! You've managed to escape this time, and you think you're all that now?"

The loud laughter, amplified by internal energy, nearly knocked down the four- or five-meter-tall trees.

"Just because I took advantage of you when you weren't looking, you think you can use that as something to brag about?"

Momoga clenched his fist empty-handed: "If you're truly capable, then fight me one-on-one, a fair and square battle to the death!"

"Oh?"

As if he had heard something ridiculous, Zheng Jing burst into laughter: "One-on-one? Fair and square? You?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Heh heh, Lao Gu, do you think I, Old Zheng, am brainless? Hmm? You're trying to lure me away so your guardians can swarm me and harm my team, huh? Humph!"

"Since you're so wary, why not use the map of mountains and rivers that you stole from me?"

Momoga scoffed, "I heard from Aura that you seized the right to use it from her, so you should know how to use this treasure, right?"

"What? I, Old Zheng, have used it, and you really dare to bring people in?"

"I am determined to reclaim the Map of Mountains and Rivers. What does it matter if it's sooner or later?"

"it is good!"

With a shout, Zheng Jing took out the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" from his backpack and unfurled it in mid-air.

Seeing that the painted world was connected to the material plane, Momoga turned his head to look at Wan behind him: "Come in with me. Your task is to ensure that the members of those investigation teams do not interfere with my duel with Zheng Jing."

"My lord, why take such a dangerous path? Why not set up an ambush along the way and seize the opportunity before Zheng Jing uses the Map of Mountains and Rivers?"

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"...I wouldn't dare."

"So that means you're afraid of death?"

"You jest, Divine Child. I'm just afraid that my abilities are insufficient and I might ruin your grand plan."

"it is good."

Momoga nodded and pointed the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown in his hand at the ground.

"Summon the Origin Element!"

The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown is inlaid with seven elemental gems, four of which are earth, fire, wind, and water. Each gem can be used to summon a source elemental magic once a day.

The elemental spirits summoned through this magic are all level 85 or higher, making them arguably the highest-ranking elemental spirit summons.

"I entrust these four Elemental Spirits to your command. Go."

The eyes behind the mask of Vanna were fixed on Momoga.

Even though it was just a mask separating them, at this moment, Momoga felt that the eyes staring intently at him seemed to come from a distant, unknown place.

"...as you wish."

Fortunately, while Momoga was contemplating whether to take a desperate gamble, Wan lowered his head.

Thus, Momoga entered the sphere of influence of the Mountain and River Map. As the holder of a world-class item, Momoga took the initiative to enter the domain of the Mountain and River Map.

Once inside, he forced Wan to lead the four Elemental Spirits and separate from him.

After walking alone for a while, he saw the figure carrying a stick on his shoulder in a vast pool of water with jagged rocks.

Under the rising sun, Zheng Jing sat cross-legged on the highest rock in the pool, his smiling face tilted up as he looked down at Momoga, which was suspended in the water.

"Since you actually dared to come, say what you have to say."

After picking at his ear, Zheng Jing said, "Now that you've finished talking, I'm going to beat you to death."

Looking at the nonchalant Zheng Jing, Momojia, who no longer needed to breathe, had the illusion that she needed to take a deep breath.

He put away Ainz Ooal Gown's staff—

Then he fell into the pool of water that was up to his knees and knelt down in front of Zheng Jing!

"Please help me, Zheng Jing."

Even Zheng Jing didn't expect things to develop this way.

He was slightly taken aback, then blinked: "You? You want me to help you?"

"right......"

In a calm tone, Momoga quickly recounted to Zheng Jing the various events that had occurred between Razmir and the Great Tomb.

"To be honest, I don't know if what Wan said is true or false, but his actions have convinced me that, whether it is true or false, I must never entrust the Great Tomb—the culmination of everyone's hard work—to such a guy!"

"But I'm afraid I can't accomplish anything on my own..."

He looked at Zheng Jing and said, "But if you can help, or rather, if the expeditionary force can help, I believe we can definitely succeed!"

"After this is done, I will give you everything in the Great Tomb, except for the belongings of my comrades!"

So! So...

Momoga lowered her head: "Please... Zheng Jing!"

"......well."

After scratching his head and cheeks a few times, Zheng Jing sighed, picked up his golden cudgel, and jumped off the rock.

"Whether the expeditionary force can help you or not is not up to me, but if you want me to help you, I can."

Momoga suddenly raised his head, and a dazzling emerald green light suddenly appeared on his body.

"Hey, don't get too excited yet. There are conditions to my helping you, Old Zheng."

"Tell me! As long as it's within my power, I will do everything in my power!"

"Okay, then answer my two questions truthfully first."

Upon hearing this familiar request, Momoga straightened his posture.

"I ask you, have you ever harmed any of the righteous soldiers of the expeditionary force?"

"......have."

A sound squeezed out from Momoga's pale skull.

"Who among those who harmed the righteous soldiers of the expeditionary force are buried in your Great Tomb of Nazarick?"

"only--"

"Ok?"

"...I, Albedo, Cocytus Sebas, participated in that operation on my orders, but I did not actually carry out any actions."

"well."

Zheng Jing nodded.

He then spun the staff on his shoulder, pointing it directly at Momoga.

“I can help you get rid of that spicy noodle control, but after it’s done, you, Albedo, and Cocytus, all three of you will have to fight me, Old Zheng.”

"Whether they come one by one or all at once."

"If we win, we'll let you live."

"We lost..."

"Under my old Zheng's stick, there is no chance of survival."

Chapter 309: I've never heard of such a request before

Upon hearing this, Momoga hesitated for a moment before wanting to agree.

"Hey! Don't rush to answer."

Carrying a stick, Zheng Jing jumped down in front of Momoga and squatted down. He narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed at Momoga's skull with a half-smile: "I know, you think that since you can be resurrected anyway, dying once is no big deal."

At this point, he suddenly grabbed Momoga by the collar!

"Let me teach you a lesson you won't forget. If I, Old Zheng, really wanted to beat you to a pulp, I had plenty of ways to do it!"

"Putting everything else aside, even if we use the dumbest method, if you dare to live, I, Old Zheng, will storm into your big grave and kill you!"

"Live once, kill once."

"Live a hundred times, kill a hundred times!"

Upon hearing this, Momoga suddenly tried to get up, but as soon as he made a move, another burst of dazzling emerald green light burst forth from his skeletal frame.

"...Is there really absolutely no room for negotiation?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing scoffed.

"Consult? When you were harming those two groups of righteous soldiers from the expeditionary force, did you consult with them? Humph!"

He let go and threw Momoga into the pool.

"Two teams?"

Momoga supported himself with his bony hands, gazing at his reflection in the pool: "...We did not kill either team."

"Ok?"

"Team One".

Momoga raised his finger bone: "We only killed one expeditionary force."

This... well, it can't really be called a lie.

The first scout squad, Silver Kite, was completely wiped out by the True God Army's Sweet Dream. If anyone is to blame, it can only be said that Momoga did not come to their aid at the time.

The one who directly killed the members of the second squad was Bai Ling Qingyu.

"what!"

Zheng Jing seemed to laugh in anger.

He stood up and slammed his golden cudgel against Momoga's skull: "Harming a team isn't considered harming someone? You're asking for it!"

"and many more."

Momoga raised both hands: "I understand. What if I could revive that expeditionary force?"

"Oh?"

Zheng Jing raised an eyebrow: "You?"

"Correct."

"Um......"

Zheng Jing rolled his eyes.

Zheng Jing actually asked YOYO about the resurrection.

According to YOYO, since players in the courtyard come from all walks of life, it is usually best to revive a fallen player within 30 minutes of their death.

The probability of a successful resurrection is highest during this time period.

As for Bai Ling Qingyu, none of them were found dead, and more than a day had passed since their deaths. If YOYO wanted to revive them, she could only think of using the Complete Resurrection spell, which is a 9th-ring spell.

This solution was only possible because all the members of the White Feather Whisper Squad and YOYO came from the same material plane.

Even with a complete resurrection spell, the success rate is hard to say, maybe even less than 10%.

Because the White Feather Whisper Squad died at the hands of a powerful undead mage.
