Chapter 542 Lao Gu: The Guardian rebelled?

Lu Li was very satisfied with Sebastian's answer. He smiled and patted Sebastian on the shoulder. "Don't be so distant. Just call me by my name. From now on, we will be partners."

Sebastian hesitated after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "My main responsibility is to be a steward. It would be too disrespectful to call you by your name. How about I call you Young Master from now on?"

Lu Li thought about it and felt that the other party didn't call him old, so he simply nodded and said, "That's it."

At this time, the smoke and dust outside had just slowly dispersed with the wind, and everyone was confused after seeing the situation in the martial arts arena.

"Cough cough cough..."

The second prince walked to the edge of the pit in a panic against the smoke and dust. Seeing how respectful Sebastian was to Lu Li, he began to doubt for a moment whether Lu Li was actually the leader of the so-called "Monster Organization" and that everything was directed and acted out by Lu Li himself.

"Mr. Lu, this is..."

He was confused, bewildered and frightened, but he still mustered up the courage to ask, trying to dispel the terrible suspicion in his mind.

"I have subdued Mr. Sebastian through some means. He will no longer cause trouble to the world and will act as my butler."

Lu Li explained. He noticed the look in the Second Prince's eyes and knew that he was just imagining things. To avoid misunderstanding, he added, "This time I just happened to have a one-time trick, but there won't be such a good thing in the future. According to Sebastian, the organization they are in is very dangerous, and there are many strong people like him."

After hearing what Lu Li said, the second prince was still a little skeptical, but he also felt a little relieved.

If Lu Li really directed and acted himself to rule the human country, they would be made a fool of themselves, but the truth would plunge humanity into despair.

After all, the thought of a level 100 alien monster is enough to send chills down one's spine. That is not a country-destroying existence, but a world-destroying horrific monster.

Looking at the level 100 Sebastian being respectful in front of Lu Li, the second prince was even more glad that Lu Li had not turned against them before, and was also glad that Lu Li stood on the side of humans.

If Lu Li also sided with the alien monsters, I'm afraid the human world would disappear within three days.

"Mr. Lu's power remains as great as ever, but the price has not been small."

Princess Lana, under the protection of Clem, also came to the edge of the pit. She looked at the huge deep pit with a radius of thousands of meters and exclaimed in admiration. Clem was completely confused and didn't know how he could practice to become such a strong man.

"After you clean up corruption, you must have projects that can boost the economy. There are so many unemployed people in the capital, isn't this just right?"

Lu Li smiled and said that if he didn't have a grand showdown with Sebastian, and only let Lana and the others see the majesty of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, God knows whether there will be traitors in the human camp in the future.

Lana was a little surprised when she heard this, and she covered her mouth lightly, then smiled as usual and said, "Mr. Lu, that's a good idea, Brother Wang should think so too."

The second prince nodded belatedly after hearing what was said, and at the same time he felt even more confused. He had not expected that such a terrifying and inhuman being like Lu Li also knew a little about economics and governing a country.

At the same time, Lu Li took these things into consideration and gave suggestions, which made him think, could it be that the other party really just wanted to protect the human country and make the people live better?
He looked suspiciously at Lu Li, who seemed very scary and non-human to him, and wondered if he had misunderstood him.
Lu Li...maybe he really is a human?

In the Great Tomb of Nazarick, after a flash of teleportation magic, the figures of Bone King and Nabe appeared on the ninth floor.

As soon as Ainz returned, he was greeted by maids. However, he seemed to be in a bad mood and did not accept the maids' service. He just waved his hand and dismissed everyone. "Ask Albedo to gather the guardians of each floor. There is something important going on."

He was in a heavy mood, and the green light on his body kept flickering, indicating that he was constantly forcing himself to remain calm.

The main reason was that too many things happened today, causing his heart to fluctuate greatly.

First, the goblin army he had originally planned to annihilate was destroyed by a mysterious adventurer, interrupting his plan to increase his reputation.

Afterwards, he ordered the royal capital to speed up the gathering of intelligence, and he himself wanted to hurry to the royal capital with Nabe.

But halfway through, he met a strange person. It was more like a puppet than a person. Even with his experience, he couldn't tell what kind of magic powered this puppet.

The puppet said that he came to form an alliance with him on behalf of the Council State, and during the conversation he revealed that the Council State knew that the Great Tomb of Nazarick had descended into this world.

This scared Bone King so much that after traveling to this world, he immediately blocked and hid the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He was afraid that it would be discovered by the natives and cause an uproar, which would then lead to the possible players in this world being discovered.

He was a social animal before he traveled through time. He could find the thrill of being able to call the shots in the game. He spent money without hesitation and made friends with a group of like-minded people and formed a guild.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to everything in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and regards the Guardians and other NPCs created by him and his partners as family members.

To be honest, he doesn't care about the life and death of humans. He only cares about his family in the game. Therefore, after receiving the news, he immediately wanted to return to the tomb to plan countermeasures and see if he could move the tomb to another place first.

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the seemingly powerful Council of Advisers in this world did not show any hostility towards him, and the envoys they sent only said that they wanted to cooperate with him. This made him think that he still had some time to prepare to deal with various things.

But just as he was about to continue his adventure in the kingdom and go to the royal capital to gather intelligence and collect information about the adventurer who destroyed the goblin army, he received a message from Sebastian.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Once he looked at it, he found that when Sebastian contacted him before, he didn't answer the call because he was in a state of panic when he saw the envoy of the Council Nation. Now the message from Sebastian stated that he and Suoluxiang had been defeated by a powerful human in the capital.

Ainz was shocked when he saw the news. Although others might not know, he knew the Guardian's strength best.

If we talk about the hardware strength in single combat, although he is the ruler in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, his combat power is not among the top three. Of course, because he is a high-level player and has a lot of paid items, he will definitely not be inferior to anyone in a real fight.

However, Sebastian is considered to be one of the stronger guardians, and he is steady and knows when to advance and retreat. This is why Bone King felt at ease sending Sebastian to the kingdom.

But the result was that in the blink of an eye, Sebastian and Suo Liuxiang knelt down, which made Lao Gu really panic.

He quickly checked the guild's panel and saw an even more horrifying fact, which was... Sebastian was not dead.

This confused Ainz. Thinking of the report that Soluxiang had vaguely let him know before, he wondered, could it be that Sebastian had betrayed him after being defeated by his opponent?

Sebastian's justice value is already very high, and he cannot be integrated into the mainstream of the Great Tomb. If he is an NPC in the game, it is nothing, but after traveling to this world and becoming a real person, he has thoughts. It is normal for a thoughtful and righteous person to be dissatisfied with Suo Liuxiang's cannibalism and the recent capture of humans for torture experiments in the Great Tomb.

Thinking of this, Bone King became more and more worried whether Sebastian had really betrayed him. To be honest, the result of Sebastian being killed still made him uncomfortable and frightened.

Because it means that the guardian is not absolutely loyal, he may really become an "empty nester".

After all, the person is dead, he can still try to revive the guardian with gold coins, but if the guardian is separated, it will be useless to revive the body.

Bone King was very anxious, and it was not until Albedo arrived with many guardians that he adjusted his spirit. "Everyone, a big thing happened today. First of all, I want to apologize for my dereliction of duty..."

…………

[Fear value +50]

Lu Li could hear the notification sound of his fear value score from time to time, which made him feel very comfortable.

He found that his plan was successful. Since he recaptured Sebastian, he would receive new score reminders from time to time. It must be that Bone King was imagining and scaring himself.

In fact, his actions are very different from the situation in the original book where Shalltear was controlled, because there was news not completely missing when Shalltear was controlled. Bone King was able to infer that Shalltear was controlled, not that she had rebelled.

And finally, after comprehensive consideration of other information, Ainz Ooal Gown concluded that Shalltear was controlled by a world-class item, so he didn't have too many management concerns.

The most Shalltear could be accused of was his strategic negligence and mistakes caused by underestimating the natives.

But if the guardian really rebels, that would be a completely different matter.

Lu Li asked Sebastian, who said that due to time constraints, he only had time to report to Bone King at the last minute: "Suoliuxiang and I have been defeated by a strong man who looks like a man."

After that, Sebastian never contacted Bone King again, and the battle between Lu Li and Sebastian was so grand that everyone in the capital knew about it.

Afterwards, Lu Li took Sebastian for a tour around the city. With Bone King's intelligence capabilities, he would probably know soon that Sebastian had followed a new master.

At this point, Bone King, who is not clear about the details of the battle, will start to imagine. First of all, he will be terrified that Sebastian would be defeated. What terrifies him even more is that he can't figure out why Sebastian would betray him.

At this time, Bone King had just traveled through time not long ago, his heart was not yet calm, and he had not yet adapted to his identity as the supreme ruler, so it was easy for him to have self-doubt.

The result is that Lu Li's current fear value score is rising rapidly. Although a single point is not much, it is a long-term effect.

I can only say that Bone King is worthy of being the protagonist of this world. His production capacity is different from that of ordinary people.

"Young Master, please have some tea."

At this time, Sebastian brought the freshly brewed black tea to Lu Li, acting like a perfect butler.

Lu Li also acted like a corrupt bourgeois for once, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, taking a sip of the black tea, "Well, not bad, Sebastian, you should sit down too, and tell me more about the strategic layout of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."

"You've gained a lot from this trip."

Chu Chu, who was sitting opposite Lu Li, also complained, and while speaking, she did not forget to put snacks into her mouth, which were just made by Sebastian.

After the kingdom's first war ended, Lu Li handed it over to the Second Prince and Lana and teleported directly back to the Theocracy.

All the explorers who made any noise in this world have been killed by him. They cannot come again before the cooldown is over, so Lu Li can also enjoy a leisurely rest for a while.

Work and rest must be separated, otherwise he will be exhausted even if his mental strength is extremely high.

If the explorers of the ancient space are a little dirty, they will use the eagle-watching tactic and simply go down to the world in batches. In this way, if Lu Li wants to ensure that all the explorers who cause trouble in the ancient space are killed, he cannot close his eyes for 24 hours a day.

It would be no problem for Lu Li to go without sleep for a week or two, or even a month, but if he worked hard for several months or even half a year, Lu Li would probably be physically and mentally exhausted.

However, Lu Li was not too worried about the other party's fancy moves, because through today's experiments, he had figured out a way to speed through this world.

The ancient space explorers standing in the alien camp let them do whatever they wanted, but in the face of his new operation, they could only watch his score approaching the victory finish line.

"The Great Tomb's strategy is very broad. I was only in charge of the Kingdom's side and collected basic intelligence."

Sebastian did not sit down as Lu Li ordered, but began to explain the strategic deployment of the Great Tomb. "In addition to the Kingdom, among the human countries, we are also investigating the Theocracy. However, now that Suo Liuxiang has been arrested and I am following the young master, Ainz should be very anxious and will transfer people back to the Great Tomb."

Lu Li frowned upon hearing this, "What a mistake. I should have kept a low profile earlier."

He thought that given Ainz's level of caution, if he wanted to investigate the Theocracy, he would definitely not send ordinary people. Perhaps he would have multiple Guardians to cooperate in the investigation in case something unexpected happened and they could not retreat.

He had no strong interest in killing the guardians. After all, the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick was not a secret. If he really wanted to wipe out the Bone King's family, he could just go and kill them.

But brushing up fear points is a technical job. Where can I find such a convenient organization to brush up fear points after killing them all in one go?

If he were to learn from Bone King to bully the Lizardmen, he might not get hundreds of fear points in the whole process. But to scare Bone King's forces, Suo Liuxiang alone would have given him hundreds of fear points.

Moreover, Suo Liuxiang was currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the Church, and he could squeeze out her surplus value from time to time. Conservatively estimated, if he squeezed Suo Liuxiang dry, he could get a fear score of more than 800.

"Young Master, if you want to kill the high-end fighters of the Great Tomb outside, you don't have to worry about the other side not coming back to attack you."

Sebastian was a butler who was very good at helping his master solve problems. He expressed his thoughts, "Although Ainz is very cautious, he is definitely not a coward. If you take the initiative to let out the news that I was controlled by your world-class item, he will definitely come to my door."
