Chapter 51: Ainz and Albedo

In the luxurious and spacious hall, the Demon Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown sat upright in a chair adorned with gold and onyx, carefully reading a long scroll in his hand. On the adamantite table before him lay several scrolls of parchment, makeshift bound books, and gilded magic scrolls.

These were all diligently collected by his loyal subordinates from around the world, containing every piece of information about the members of "The Last Defender of the Way" adventurer team.

Among them, the information on the archer Sean and cleric Stella was the most comprehensive. Two thick volumes detailed their life trajectories since birth. As for the adventurer named Barrett, who seemed to wander around a lot, the information was not as extensive, but it was clear he was a typical adventurer in this world.

Only the peculiar girl named EeDeChi had no information available about her birth and upbringing. It was as if she had suddenly appeared on the border between the City Alliance and the Baharuth Empire, then walked into the Adventurer's Guild, registering as an adventurer. Soon after, she rose to fame, swiftly advancing from the lowest "copper-level" to the second High-tier "orichalcum-level."

Ainz looked up at the stack of various reports before him, reminiscent of his own experiences. When he and the people of the Great Tomb of Nazarick first arrived, they also chose to operate as adventurers. However, he quickly made a name for himself, rapidly rising to become the highest-tier "adamantite-level."

Adamantite-level is a truly rare existence! In the entire Re-Estize Kingdom, including Ainz disguised as "Darkness," there are only three "adamantite-ranked" adventurer teams, with the other two being "Blue Roses" and "Red Drop."

Ainz couldn't quite understand why EeDeChi's adventurer rank was still stuck at orichalcum-level. Given her abilities, she should have long since ascended to adamantite.

Perhaps she was hiding her true strength, Ainz pondered. After all, becoming the highest-tier "adamantite-level" adventurer meant shouldering more responsibilities, often at the expense of the adventurous thrills that others envy.

Reflecting on this, Ainz realized it had been a long time since he had actively engaged in this world as an adventurer.

He had always strived to present himself as the supreme being of decisive action and unparalleled wisdom and ability before his subordinates. After wearing this mask for so long, it was difficult to take it off and adapt to another mask of an adventurer.

The red light flickered in the sockets of Ainz's skeletal eye sockets as he decided to set aside these troubling thoughts, picking up the next scroll. His subordinates had submitted numerous reports, but collectively, they only confirmed one thing: this rigid girl named EeDeChi had also crossed over from Ainz's world. She was alone, without any backing.

As for whether she was a player who had crossed over from the game YGGDRASIL, there wasn't enough evidence yet to confirm or deny this.

If she had indeed come from the game world and her strength was weak, Ainz was somewhat inclined to capture her, kill her, and then conduct a "player resurrection" experiment.

But the fact that she could exchange blows with Shalltear without showing any signs of defeat indicated that her strength was likely already at level one hundred.

Now, this is getting a bit tricky. Someone with a combat power of level one hundred likely possesses a World Item, possibly even one of the top twenty world-class items.

However, she poses no threat to the Great Tomb of Nazarick because it boasts several level one hundred guardians and World Items, with Ainz himself being a high-tier undead at level one hundred.

Facing this unexpected level one hundred traveler in the world, the Great Tomb of Nazarick could choose to go all out to eliminate her, but that wouldn't benefit them much.

A level one hundred player whose strength is not clear, holding a World Item and fighting desperately, could still cause significant trouble.

Moreover, EeDeChi has not shown any hostility towards the Great Tomb of Nazarick for now; she seems to just play the role of a normal adventurer, enjoying adventures in this isekai world.

As suggested by Demiurge, the wisest of the guardians, dealing with this lone adventurer should involve demonstrating the Great Tomb of Nazarick's formidable strength while showing some goodwill, combining both mercy and authority.

Now, the path of conquering the world for the Great Tomb of Nazarick is not yet complete, and there are still many unknowns along the way. It's prudent to proceed cautiously.

The legendary yet fading dragon race, and the unique Wild Magic wielded by dragons, have posed some challenges to the conquering army. Before all the dust settles, Ainz doesn't want to make too many enemies.

Ainz picked up the last scroll on the table, which detailed EeDeChi's recent activities. As he read through it carefully, he was somewhat surprised: "She's actually been hired by Princess Renner of the Re-Estize Kingdom and even used a teleportation array to go to the capital of the kingdom. She's quite adept at building relationships with royalty."

Setting down this final report, Ainz lifted his head from the magic scroll. The towering, unconfined curves of a white body-hugging evening gown trembled before his eyes, their deep, fair crevices profound and mesmerizing. If any man were to see this sight, his mind would almost certainly be captivated by these ample bosoms.

Ainz didn't need to look up to know the owner of the deep cleavage was Albedo.

"My lord Ainz~" Albedo's eyes were silky, her flawless face flushed with shyness. Golden pupils swirled seductively, captivating. "Do you like my new dress? I sewed it myself."

Her tone ended with a teasing rise, adding a tremor to her voice. Simultaneously, her slender hand in white silk gloves caressed Ainz's sternum.

Any functioning man, faced with such teasing, would struggle to suppress the turmoil in his heart and desire to tear open this beauty's pure white dress and fuck her hard.

But Ainz... he was undead, a skeleton. In his heart, there was only the distress of a righteous superior sexually harassed by a lewd subordinate. 

On one hand, it was because he lacked sexual capability; on the other, his desire for carnal pleasures had faded since becoming undead.

Nevertheless, Ainz admitted, when faced with such ample bosoms before him, he felt an urge to squeeze them. Yet he resisted, for he was an upright boss, not someone whose mind was filled with lewd thoughts like his female subordinate.

It was his fault for tampering with Albedo's settings before crossing over, causing her current admiration to reach incomprehensible, even perverse levels, without any satisfaction. 

Now every chance she gets, she sexually harasses him, causing Ainz was deeply troubled.

"How is the investigation into the legend of the Eight Greed Kings' grand expedition going?" Ainz turned his head away from Albedo.

"It's still ongoing. Those are events from five hundred years ago. Cherishing the present romantic moments is what matters most, don't you think?" Albedo's body drew closer.

He needed a way to distract her. Ainz pondered briefly and asked, "Your evening gown is beautiful. Are you attending some event?"

Albedo leaned in, her dreamlike beautiful eyes gazing deeply into Ainz's skeletal eye sockets.

"My lord Ainz, have you forgotten? I am your appointed envoy to the Sorcerer Kingdom. Soon, I'll be attending a ball hosted by the royal family of the Re-Estize Kingdom, mingling with a bunch of lower beings. Perhaps..." Her black wings behind her trembled softly. "...you fancy uniforms. Should I make a special envoy uniform?"

"No... there's no need. You look fine as you are now," Ainz replied, tilting his body slightly backward to evade Albedo's gaze filled with longing.

"I have a task for you. Since you're familiar with Princess Renner, that person EeDeChi is now with her. Represent the Great Tomb of Nazarick and make contact with her..."
