Taking one night to travel to Carne Village, staying in Carne Village for one night, then leaving
for ReLantier. The planned three day, two night journey was finally coming to its end, arriving
back at ReLantier, they were welcomed by the evening scene of the city.
The road was illuminated by the white glow from the 「Continual Lights」, the people travelling
on the road also changed. Gone were the young women and children, most of them now were
working men travelling home. Shophouses were lined side by side along the street, cheerful
sounds and lights came from them.
Ainz looked around.
After three days, the town didn’t seem to have changed. No, after arriving in ReLantier, he
straight away left for Carne Village the next day, so there was insufficient knowledge and
attachment to compare. However, he could still feel that the scene of the calm streets remained
unchanged.
After reaching a turn on the main road, Ainz suddenly stopped walking.
Normally, stopping in the middle of the road would definitely obstruct the path of other
pedestrians, but nobody even complained. That was because nobody even got close to Ainz.
Ainz hunched his back in resignation and observed the people around him.
Nearly everyone looked toward Ainz——No, they stared at Ainz, and whispered lowly to the
person next to them.
Hearing the sound of talking, Ainz felt as if they were laughing at him, but that was his own
misunderstanding. If he had actually listened, he would know that their tones were filled with
surprise, appreciation and fear.
Even so, there was still a place that made it hard to release the tension.
Ainz silently looked down——under him was pearly white fur. That was because Ainz was
currently mounted on the Virtuous King of the Forest.
All around the people looked towards the aweinspiring brave appearance of the Virtuous King
of the Forest——Ainz was somewhat critical of this point——in amazement, they were talking
about the warrior who was able to ride upon such a fearful, yet dignified magical beast.
