Chapter 468: Conversation
At the entrance of the mausoleum, as the maids fell, only Sebastian was left struggling to hold on.
The dragon scales on his body shattered and blood gushed out from the broken wounds, but even so, he did not fall down. Instead, he relied on his physical body to withstand the red thunder.
After putting all the maids away one by one, Xia Yu turned his head to look at Sebastian, wondering whether he should snatch this One-Punch Old Man away as well.
As one of the few kind and righteous NPCs in Nazarick, it seems more appropriate to keep him in Nazarick.
But just as Xia Yu was thinking, a light curtain suddenly lit up in the air.
A tall figure appeared in the light curtain, but as the light curtain gradually became clearer, the figure revealed its true appearance, which was a hideous skeleton.
The skull in the light curtain was a bit more angular than the ordinary round skulls, with red flames burning in its cracked eye sockets, making it look more domineering than ordinary skeleton soldiers.
Ainz Ooal Gown!
His real name is Suzuki Satoru, and he is the magic caster of the game name Momonga, and he is also the ruler of Nazarick.
The moment he saw Ainz appear, Xia Yu did not give him a chance to speak and suddenly said, "Hey, Suzuki Satoru, you really have turned into a skeleton."
What!!
Ainz was thinking about how to start the conversation, but the moment he heard these words, the red light in his hollow eye sockets flickered several times, and his mouth opened wide without him noticing.
At this moment, Ainz was certain that the man in front of him was the mysterious man he had detected before.
Because the mysterious man also knew his real name and even shouted it out to his face.
“It seems you know more than I thought.” Under the effect of being forced to remain calm, Ainz’s expression and tone remained unchanged, but only he knew how panicked he was inside.
"Who are you, Mr. Unknown? And why are you invading Nazarick?"
According to Ainz's original idea, this was the moment he should declare war on the mysterious man in front of him.
But the mysterious man in front of him called out his real name, which made him a little at a loss. He could only judge the other party's origins through words.
However, through the battle just now, he at least knew that the opponent's race should be a dragon man, although he had never seen the opponent's dragon man form in "YGGDRASIL".
"Hehe, the main purpose of my invasion is to lure you out and talk to you."
As Xia Yu spoke casually, he took back the dragon thunder that was flashing all over Sebastian's body. Without the dragon thunder's control, Sebastian fell to the ground with tattered clothes hanging on his body.
After landing, he flipped over and stood up, then assumed a fighting stance towards Xia Yu.
But because Ainz was talking to Xia Yu at the moment, he did not attack again.
"Talk?"
Ainz's tone gradually became angry. "If you just wanted to talk to me, why did you invade Nazarick and even mind-control my maids?"
"This is already a declaration of war against us, and yet Your Excellency said that he just wanted to lure me out for a talk?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled awkwardly: "That's for a reason. First of all, I am a human being, so I can't stand you aliens who take human lives lightly. What's more, I can't stand you, a guy who used to be a human being, actually letting these aliens go."
"Suzuki, if you still have a bit of empathy as a human being, you should know what these evil creatures under your command will do. You should restrain them instead of letting them go."
“What a pity…”
Xia Yu suddenly shook his head: "After all, you are not the lawful and just person like Takimi. In order to prevent the world from falling into your hands, I can only suffer and put a yoke on you."
Takimi...
The name came to Ainz's mind, and he recalled the scene when they first met.
At that time, he was just a little skeleton. In the early days of "YGGDRASIL", because some powerful professions required killing a certain number of alien species before taking the job, hunting alien players was very popular for a period of time.
At that time, he was constantly killed during this period of time and was so angry that he almost quit.
While he was being hunted one day, Takimi suddenly appeared and saved him, and the two became friends.
Hearing this name again now made Ainz feel both nostalgic and surprised.
Since the mysterious man could say the name Takimi and also explained Takimi's personality, this shows that the other party not only knows him very well, but also knows the members of their "Ainz Ooal Gown" very well!
Judging from the fact that the other party could call out his real-life name, it seems that the other party also knows Takimi's real-life name.
With this speculation, the mystery surrounding the mysterious man seems to become even thicker.
"To prevent the world from falling into our hands? So you are the so-called guardian of the world?"
Although his mind was full of thoughts, Ainz did not think for too long.
Hearing this obviously probing question, Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's not the case. I'm just a human being. I saw an old man fall down and rushed forward to help him up."
"Although in my original world, elderly people who fell down were basically blackmailed, I would still help them up rather than do nothing out of fear of being blackmailed."
"This is the empathy of a human being. If you still have some humanity left, you should be able to understand what I am saying."
Ainz did not answer when asked this question .
At this moment, Suzuki Satoru's personality still accounts for a large proportion of his body. In addition, Xia Yu mentioned the name Takimi before, which also allows Ainz to think about this problem as a human being.
After thinking for a moment, Ainz replied, "I think I understand what you mean. If possible, I don't want to be your enemy, but you were the one who started it."
"Anyone who is an enemy of Ainz Ooal Gown will be my enemy."
"Haha, enemy?" Xia Yu chuckled and said casually as if he didn't care: "What if I say I can help you find your former companions?"
As soon as he said this, Ainz’s movements suddenly stopped, as if he was frozen in an instant.
What the freeze showed was undoubtedly a strong shake.
"How are they? Like Takimi, Takehito Takemurai, Peroroncino, Bubble Teapot, Kurohero, Jade Record, etc. Since there are a total of forty-one people, I won't list them one by one."
"You just need to know that I can help you bring your former companions into this world."
Xia Yu's words were not groundless. From the details in the original book, we can know that the player transfer is actually related to the Dragon Emperor from another world.
But no one knows what the specific connection is.
But as long as there is a connection, it means that the other world, the game world and the original world are actually the same worldview.
In a world within a world view, Xia Yu can completely travel back through the parallel world crossing device. As long as he can find the location of the world, traveling back is no more difficult than eating and drinking.
Therefore, he was not lying to Lao Gu, he was telling the truth.
“Tsk!”
Ainz sighed softly. He really wanted to tell Xia Yu a really boring lie, but the previous conversation had already guaranteed the truthfulness of Xia Yu's words.
