"The defense of Nazarick will be arranged like this. Albedo, after arranging all the defense works, hand over the work to Pandora's Actor.
I'm sorry to have you stay in the 'Frozen Prison' for a while, but if there is an enemy invasion, you are allowed to fight."
Momonga felt very sorry for Albedo. If he hadn't lost so miserably, he would have been able to reject Demiurge's proposal by saying that Albedo didn't have time resistance.
But he lost completely, and didn't even see the appearance of the enemy. In Momonga's view, even if he said such a reason, it would probably be refuted by Demiurge with the reason that Albedo hadn't discovered the enemy in advance.
The enemy was an ambush assassination. If Demiurge said that it was wrong not to be vigilant about all the movements around, then how should he defend Albedo?
If his authority hadn't been damaged, he would naturally have the confidence to refute, and even forcefully suppress Demiurge's questioning.
But a loser's rebuttal would only make people think that he was shirking the cause of the failure, and would make the guardians think that he was an incompetent ruler who employed mediocre people.
"Tabula Smaragdina-san, I'm sorry that I couldn't protect your child."
"Ainz-sama, your order just now doesn't allow all guardians to leave Nazarick, but if that's the case, I would not be able to complete the mission. Please give instructions, Ainz-sama," Demiurge asked.
"Eh? Eh? What mission? Hmm, is he talking about the thing that Demiurge was fully responsible for just now? That mission requires leaving Nazarick? What exactly is that mission? I really want to know," Momonga thought in his heart.
"You are the exception, Demiurge. You can freely leave Nazarick to do that thing." Momonga paused for a moment, took out a ring from his infinite backpack, and said, "To facilitate your actions, I will give you this Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown. I hope you can make good use of it."
"Thank you very much for Ainz-sama's trust. I will definitely do my best to offer everything for Nazarick," Demiurge stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and took the ring. Although his face was still calm, his heart was already excited beyond words.
"Cough cough, everyone, return to your respective posts and act immediately," Momonga said, seeing that everything that needed to be explained had been explained. Next, he needed to go to the Treasury to notify Pandora's Actor to take office.
"Ainz-sama, there is still one thing. How should Aura and Mare be punished?" Demiurge reminded him.
"Ooh..." Momonga let out a small moan. He didn't expect Demiurge to still remember this matter. He pondered for a moment and looked at the elf twins.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Mare, can you completely cover the surface buildings of Nazarick?"
"Eh? Co...completely cover it? I...I can do it," Mare said cautiously.
"In that case, this will be your punishment. In addition, the covered terrain should look natural. Hmm..., I remember that there is a forest next to it. If possible, I'd like you to plant some plants and trees to connect with the forest. Can you do it?" Momonga asked.
"No...no problem, Ainz-sama," Mare thought for a moment and said, "But...but won't that seem a bit abrupt? Why don't we...why don't we expand the range a bit and then have my sister drive monsters to live in the forest? This way, the enemy won't be able to know the exact location of Nazarick."
"Hmm...that's possible. In that case, Aura helping you complete this task will also be considered a punishment," Momonga nodded. After being reminded by Mare, he realized that it wasn't very wise to only cover the area of Nazarick. It was best to connect all the area near Nazarick with that forest.
Although this would make people familiar with this area feel strange, it could cover up the true location of Nazarick. At the same time, if someone broke into here, it would be convenient to capture those people to obtain information from the outside world.
After all, even if the terrain was changed to be more natural, familiar people would still find something wrong. It was better to use the connection with the forest to cover it up.
After coming out of the Throne Room, Aura and Mare walked side by side on the road leading to the outside of Nazarick. At this time, Demiurge's voice came from behind them.
"Mare."
"Ah, De...Demiurge, is there something?" Mare looked up at him.
"It's nothing. I just hope you can understand that hiding mistakes is not a good thing for Nazarick. On the road to conquering the world, any small mistake will lead to bad results," Demiurge said.
"I...I understand," Mare nodded.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Aura clenched her fists and questioned Demiurge. Although she always scolded Mare, she still protected her younger brother very much.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything bad. To you, or to Albedo, everything I do is for Nazarick, for Ainz-sama. I'll take my leave now," Demiurge said, and quickly left.
Aura looked at Mare and asked, "Did you tell him about it?"
"No...it's not like that, sister. He contacted me on his own. I didn't say that Ainz-sama was killed. I just said that Ainz-sama was in Nazarick," Mare said.
"Is that so? In that case, he guessed it," Aura pinched her chin and pondered for a moment. "It's impossible to use teleportation magic to directly enter the inside of Nazarick, so if Ainz-sama didn't show up in the surface buildings, yet he appeared directly inside..."
Aura shook her head helplessly and said to Mare, "It's not your fault. That Demiurge is too smart. But the next time you encounter such a thing, you can let him directly ask Ainz-sama for instructions."
——————————————
Hades advanced in the direction pointed by Nigun. The distance of fifty kilometers wasn't very far. He arrived quickly using flight. He saw an ancient-style city with three layers inside and three layers outside.
This kind of city with huge walls made him feel a little familiar, because in the original world, ecological cities built high walls to isolate the residents of the poor class.
People from large conglomerates lived in the ecological cities of the inner city, isolated from everything in the outer city.
Because of irreconcilable class problems, there were occasional terrorist attacks targeting the wealthy class in the inner city.
Because the ecological cities had complete police force to protect the safety of the wealthy class, even if a terrorist attack occurred, it would be quickly dealt with and the criminals would be arrested.
Hades understood that this social environment would create many people who hated society. And on the Internet, the wall that separated the wealthy from the poor had disappeared.
Therefore, it wasn't unreasonable for someone to speculate that the members of "Ainz Ooal Gown" were a group of people who hated society.
Now, he had already attacked "Ainz Ooal Gown," and this city was the best place for him to hide his tracks.
As long as he disguised himself as a local and blended in without exposing himself, Hades didn't believe that "Ainz Ooal Gown" would be crazy enough to slaughter the city.
