In the reception room, Princess Lana was smiling and looking at the adventurers in front of her.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. The Eight Fingers were pulled out in one fell swoop and completely destroyed. In this way, the kingdom will be safe."

"This is all your fault, Your Highness, Princess."

Ladis, the captain of Blue Rose, lowered her head.

"But, please forgive me, things may not be that simple. In fact, during this process, we discovered that there is a mysterious force hidden behind Eight Fingers."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Princess Lana immediately sat up straight and stared at Radice.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes."

At this time, the masked girl stood up.

"When Gegelan and I attacked the camp of Selma, the leader of the Eight Fingers, we encountered a very powerful monster. Not only that, we also encountered a high-level demon!"

"Higher Demon?"

"Yes! He calls himself Jaldabaoth, and he is a very terrifying and powerful demon."

Speaking of this, she seemed to recall the battle at that time, and the masked girl couldn't help but tremble.

"Frankly speaking, even I am no match for him."

"An opponent that even you, Ibiruai, can't defeat? Is the opponent so powerful?"

"Yes, but fortunately, we have an equally powerful or even more powerful helper... Do you still remember that the day before yesterday, the Eight Fingers' stronghold was taken over?"

"certainly."

Hearing this, Princess Lana nodded. Frankly speaking, although the accident disrupted their deployment, it also greatly weakened the power of Eight Fingers. This is why Princess Lana is determined to take this opportunity to deal with Eight Fingers.

The reason for launching the general offensive.

"I remember you said at the time that the other party might be an adventure team that has just been promoted to Obsidian?"

"It's no longer possible, it's them."

The masked girl gave an affirmative answer this time.

"They arrived there after us, and the high-level demon was easily killed by the knight among the group of adventurers."

"But the opponent is an opponent that even you, Ibiruai, can't defeat."

Hearing this, Princess Lana raised her own question. Blue Rose is the top adventure team in the kingdom, with a gold level. This is already the second strongest existence under platinum. But Lana knows very well [ ], Blue Rose

In fact, most of the strength lies in the masked girl in front of me and Radice, who is the captain. The strength of the others is actually not particularly strong.

In other words, in the Blue Rose team, only Ibiruai and Radice have reached the gold level, and the high-level demons who can easily defeat Ibiruai must have surpassed the gold-level terrifying existence. However, in this way,

A strong man was easily killed by an unknown knight? So, what is the strength of that knight?

Above gold, there is only platinum... But is there such a person among the platinum-level experts?

"who is he?"

"He calls himself Fang Zheng, the monitor of the abyss, and the knight of the French Undead Team."

"Flan Undead Team? Abyss Monitor?"

Hearing this, the confusion on Princess Lana's face became more intense. She had never heard of similar organizations and forces.

"I have not heard of similar organizations and platinum-level adventurers..."

"He is not an adventurer. Although he is a member of the same team as the other three girls, he has not registered with the Adventurer's Guild."

"Why?"

"I'm not too sure either………"

Speaking of this, the masked girl was also very confused. Generally speaking, even super strong people, unless they are in a high position, will basically register with the Adventurer's Guild. After all, strong people do not all fall from the sky.

Like the Sword Saint, she was once just a newcomer in the Adventurer's Guild.

It's just that this knight is indeed different. At least the masked girl doesn't understand why he is unwilling to register with the Adventurer's Guild - after all, if he registers, just his two achievements in killing vampires and high-level demons will be enough.

Elevated it to gold level.

"So, the power you said is hidden behind the Eight Fingers..."

Although she was somewhat curious about the knight, Princess Lana quickly calmed down her thoughts and brought back the straying topic. After hearing Princess Lana's words, the masked girl came back to her senses. She was embarrassed.

Coughed.

"That's right, Your Highness Princess, have you heard of the name Ainz?"

"Ainz...? I've never heard of him...who is he?"

"We don't know either."

Speaking of this, the masked girl's tone became serious again.

"However, before that high-level demon died, he once called out this name, and the knight also said that the vampire he killed before also said the same name."

"So, what you mean is..."

"I discussed it with the captain."

The masked girl and Ladis looked at each other, and then Ladis spoke.

"Your Highness, we suspect that the man named Einz is probably the real ruler who secretly controls the Eight Fingers."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because so far, we still haven't found any trace of the Eight-Finger leader. After that, we investigated the stronghold and found that basically all of Thelma's men were killed, and she herself was missing. I suspect that this is very

It's possible that the man named Einz sent his men to kill him. After all, with the strength of that high-level demon, if the knight hadn't suddenly appeared, we, Blue Rose, would never have been our opponent. Until then.

Maybe they would cover it up by pretending that we fought desperately with the guards in the stronghold, and then both sides suffered losses. Moreover, on the same day that we attacked the stronghold, the high-level demon and his monsters appeared. How could this happen?

It doesn’t even look like a coincidence.”

"And the previous vampire rampage**."

At this time, the masked girl also hurriedly spoke.

"The incident occurred in the area near the Royal City. Of course, if this was just an ordinary isolated incident, then there might not be much of a problem. But if there is the same person behind both...

...Whether he is the manipulator behind the Eight Fingers or not, it can at least explain one thing, that is, there is already a group of dangerous people operating near the royal capital. Judging from the strength of the opponent, whether it is the previously rumored vampire,

The monsters and high-level demons we encountered when attacking the stronghold are all very terrifying enemies. What if the opponent has monsters as powerful as high-level demons and vampires..."

"Then the royal capital will be in danger."

Hearing this, Princess Lana's expression became serious. She was not a fool, and of course she understood the meaning of Radice's words. The other party had lost two subordinates in a row, and they were both very powerful beings. In this way

First, the other party might take revenge on the kingdom, and if that happens, it will be a disaster for the kingdom.

"I understand. I will immediately send people to investigate the surrounding area. If there is any suspicious information, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

While the kingdom was discussing how to proceed, Fang Zheng also had his own plan.

"Hey? What did you say?"

Looking at Mine's surprised face on the screen, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"What I mean is that I plan to buy a manor nearby as a base. Are you interested in coming to live there and help me take care of it?"

"this………"

"Don't worry. Although it is called a manor, the overall facilities are completely modern. It can just give your family a transition. Think of it as a rehearsal before going to the modern society. How about it?"

"But...it's just the four of us..."

"Of course it's not just you, I will also send some maids."

The maids Fang Zheng was talking about were none other than the girls who had been rescued from the Eight Fingers underground organization. Like Chiale, they had been abused by members of the Eight Fingers organization. And these girls had nowhere to go.

So Fang Zheng decided to send them to his manor as maids.

After all, this is also a coordinate point, and coordinate points require strongholds to maintain. But considering the nature of this place being contaminated by chaos, Founder does not dare to send people in like other coordinate points. In this case, the only way is to use this world

Aboriginal people - of course, Fang Zheng is not worried about any harm these Aboriginal people will cause to him. After all, this is just a simple stronghold, used to observe and collect information, and take a rest.

"………………"

After hearing this, Mine couldn't help but lower her head. After a while, she asked in a low voice.

"Why are you so nice to us? Even if we are all time travellers, but..."

"Indeed, it seems to you that it's too much trouble, right?"

Of course Fang Zheng understood what Mine was thinking, but he obviously also had his own considerations.

"But at the same time, Tianya is a human being, so if you can help me, I will help you. Moreover, maybe for you, these things are very expensive, but for me, it is not a big deal...

…My power is far beyond your imagination, not only in this world, but also in other worlds. Even the power of a king cannot compare with mine. So you don’t have to worry, for me, this is even a drop in the bucket.
