Chapter 7: Successful initial deception (Part 1)
The supreme ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the president of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild, has a rather luxurious office.
Every piece of furniture placed indoors is decorated with meticulous decoration, full of artistic taste and rare value. The floor was covered with a soft, fluffy crimson carpet that made no sound when you walked on it. On the wall deep in the room, flags with different patterns were crisscrossed.
A magnificent ebony desk was placed in the room, and the owner of the room was sitting on a black leather chair.
Wearing a jet-black robe that seems to absorb light, if he could be described in one sentence, he would be the "Demon King of Death."
The exposed head is a skull without any flesh, with a little black light mixed in the flashing red light in the empty eye sockets.
He is the man whose player name is Momonga, his race is Lich, and his position is the Lord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
However, Mr. Momonga at this moment does not have the terrifying demeanor of a great demon king. He raised his bare hands, holding his head as if in great distress. The nine rings on his fingers shimmered under the reflection of the magical light of [Sustainable Light].
"...Oops...the amount of information received is too large and cannot be processed at all! What should we do in the future?"
——The somatosensory online game "YGGDRASIL" that allows players to enter the virtual world. On the last day of opening the service, for unknown reasons, he was allowed to travel to an unknown different world in the appearance of the game character - the appearance of a skeleton. , just twelve hours have passed so far.
Following him through the unknown world were the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick and fifteen rookie players who attacked the Great Tomb.
Now there is another group of 21st century ancients who can create characters in the Great Tomb and regard the Great Tomb of Nazarick as a novice village for online games!
There is also an incredible horror game, a magical system that can link countless parallel worlds!
All this complicated information makes Momonga, a primary school graduate in the 22nd century, feel deeply confused and confused!
"...Infinite space and the main god system? It is really unimaginable existence! Also, are they telling the truth?"
In the previous conversation, Wang Qiu basically described the information about the main god system and infinite space to Fei Shou truthfully. Then, according to Wang Qiu's explanation (fooling) to Momonga, not only were the fifteen 21st century college rookie players coerced into invading the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but they were also forcibly dragged into a hundred years in the future by the omnipotent Lord God System. In the "YGGDRASIL" game. Even the reason why his Great Tomb of Nazarick materialized and descended into another world was due to the work of the main god system on the eve of its collapse.
——After all, if Momonga was told directly that he was just a fictional character in a book, Momonga would probably not be able to accept it at all. In contrast, if Momonga is pretended to be a real "future earthling", the mental impact on him will be relatively mild.
As for what kind of different world the Great Tomb of Nazarick has traveled to now, and whether other gamers or visitors from modern Earth have arrived here, Wang Qiu said that they are as ignorant as Momonga and need to explore and investigate to get more information. Many messages.
Regarding the above statement, Momonga politely expressed his understanding, but said that he could not accept the other party's reckless behavior of treating the Great Tomb of Nazarick as a novice village and casually stuffing people into it. After some negotiations, Momonga agreed to release the fifteen captured gamers and allowed them to stay temporarily at the surface entrance of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, that is, in the group of temple buildings, but without notification It is not allowed to enter the inside of the tomb.
At this point, classmate Wang Qiu, who transformed into a tabby cat, and Lich King Flying Squirrel, who had just arrived in another world, completed their first contact in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

"...Everything depends on Momonga-sama's will."
A beautiful woman who was waiting silently in the room immediately responded respectfully after hearing the confused murmur of the Lich King Momonga.
This is an impeccable beauty wearing a pure white dress, always with a goddess-like smile on her face. Her glossy black hair, which is the opposite color of her dress, reaches her waist. However, her race is not human, but a female devil, so she has golden irises and upright oval pupils that are very different from humans. She also has two goat-like curly horns growing forward from the temples on the left and right sides of her head. . Not only that, on her waist, you can also see a pair of black angel wings covering her feet.
"...Really, Albedo? I'm very happy that you are so loyal." Momonga glanced at her and comforted her.
——She is Albedo, the guardian general of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the female demon who is responsible for managing all NPCs. The virtual character originally set up in the game has now not only become a physical entity, but also has self-awareness and is loyal to Momonga to the death.
For a game nerd addicted to the virtual world, this kind of thing is naturally happy, but on the other hand, it is also a heavy burden for Momonga, who was just an office worker. No matter how he behaves as a master to maintain his image when facing many subordinates, or how smoothly and subtly he should run the organization as a ruler, he, who is just a small person, feels at a loss - It's like an ordinary and insignificant wage earner suddenly sat on the throne of the chairman of the world's top 500 companies...
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for him to remain rational and not go crazy like "Fan Jin won the exam". It was really difficult for him to figure out everything in just twelve hours.
The more terrible problem is that he and the entire Great Tomb are currently in an unknown world and lack the most basic information.
The only thing that can be tentatively determined is that this place is a living planet, not a place of death like Venus and Mercury.
But next, in this seemingly vibrant world, is there any civilization? Or in a barbaric state? Or even the age of the dinosaurs?
If civilization has been born in this world, is the race that created civilization human? What level of civilization has it reached?
What kind of fighting power do the indigenous residents of this world have? Compared with them, is my organization considered strong or weak?
In addition to my own Great Tomb of Nazarick, are there other "YGGDRASIL" game players who have traveled here?
For Momonga, who has just arrived, everything in this world is still shrouded in unknown darkness.
And the completely unknown is always the most frightening thing.
"...It seems that after confirming the internal situation of the Great Tomb, we will begin to collect intelligence from the outside world... By the way, the group of cat people who came to the Great Tomb before, as well as the prisoners who were released just now What are they doing now?" Momonga suddenly asked.
"... Goblins are flying around and playing in the courtyard, and slimes are huddled in the shadows of the temple. The hands and feet of the iron golem have not been completely repaired, and they are being painted in the workshop of the big tomb. And the vast majority The cat and the tiger were sunbathing on the lawn," Albedo replied. "...Baking in the sun? It's really in line with a cat's nature!" Momonga seemed to sigh and shook his head, "...By the way, let someone bring them some food! Since they are currently in the Great Tomb of Nazarick Guests, as hosts, we have no reason to let them starve..."
