Overlord (book 1)

in this world, just like him.

Although he could not contact them using 「Message」, it could be due to many other factors.

For example, being on a different continent, or some kind of magical effect.

“.... If its like this…. If I let the whole world know about the name Ainz Ooal Gown…”

If there were any of his companions around, they might hear about it. And they would surely

come. Momonga was convinced about the friendship between them.

Immersed in his thoughts, Momonga suddenly turned to look at Nazarick, and was met with an

impressive sight.

The ground around about one hundred meters of Nazarick were generating huge wave of soils

similar to ocean waves. The plains slowly began to grown into little bulges and moved slowly in

a certain direction. They began to gather togethers, finally becoming a small hill closing in on

Nazarick.

The mounds of soil pounded against the walls of Nazarick, crushing them, like waves of a

tsunami hitting from all directions.

“...『Land of Waves』. Looks like he’s not only using his technical skills, but to also his class

skil s to increase the area of effect…”

Momonga admired quietly. In Nazarick, there was only one person capable of such magic.

As expected of Mare. Looks like leaving the task of hiding the walls to him was a good choice

after all.

“Yes, in addition to Mare, the tireless undead tired and Golems are also helping. But the

progress is too slow and not good enough. After moving the earth there will be many

depressions where plants would have to be placed in order to hide them. This will further

increase Mare’s workload…”

“.... Hiding the walls of Nazarick should take a very long time, the problem is whether or not we

wil be discovered during the construction. How is the security situation around here?”

“The beginning stages of the early warning systems have already completed. If there are any

intelligent biological invasions, we would know immediately while keeping the intruder unaware

of the situation.”

“Good work. But… These early warning systems are also done by the servants?”

After receiving Demiurge’s confirmation, just in case, Momonga felt the construction of another

alert network would be appropriate.

“.... About the construction of the system, I have an idea. Please build it like this.”

“Yes sir. After consulting with Albedo, we will combine our efforts. Yes, Black Knight-sama——”

“——Enough, Demiurge. Calling me Momonga is fine”

“Understood… May I ask what is Momonga-sama’s next schedule?”

“I plan to visit Mare and provide him with a suitable reward for accomplishing his task

perfectly…”

Demiurge let out a smile. It was a gentle smile, completely different from something one would

expect of a demon.

“To receive appreciation directly from Momonga-sama would already be a great reward… this…

Many apologies, but I suddenly thought of something that I need to take care of. As for Mare’s

location…”

“No problem. You may leave, Demiurge.”

“Many thanks, Momonga-sama.”

Once Demiurge started to fly away, Momonga also started to float down to the ground, and

once again donned his helmet. Located at his destination was a Dark Elf, who noticed

something and tilted his head to look up to the sky——Seeing Momonga he was shocked.

Waiting for Momonga to land, Mare hurriedly ran over. His skirt fluttering in the wind.

A little bit could be seen. No, Momonga totally did not want to see, he was just curious about

what was worn underneath.

“Momo-, Momonga-sama, it is an honor for you to come here.”

“Eh…. Mare there is no need to be afraid, just take it slow. If you are not used to it, you do not

need to be so formal… Of course it’s only in private.”

“Th-, that cannot be done, how could I not use honorifics to address you… Even my sister would

never do so. That would be too rude.”

Although he did not like children to treat him so respectfully..:

“So its like that, Mare. If you insist then I have no objections. However, I want you to know that I never forced you to do so.”

“Ye-, Yes! …. Spe-, speaking of which, Momonga-sama why have you come here? Ha-, have I

perhaps done something wrong….”

“Nothing of the sort Mare. I came here to reward you.”

Mare’s expression went from worry and fear from being scolded, to becoming surprised.

“The job that Mare currently has is extremely important, because the people of this world could

have an average level of 100 or more. If there are those kinds of opponents, even with the alert

network, it will also be necessary to hide the Great Tomb of Nazarick from preying eyes. This is

an important matter.”

Mare constantly nodded in agreement.

“So Mare, I wanted you to know that the way you are doing your job is perfect and satisfies me.

Entrusting this job to you, makes me feel at ease.”

Something that Momonga learnt from his experiences in society, is that superiors must praise

the hard work of outstanding subordinates.

The Guardians all gave Momonga high evaluations, so in order to maintain their loyalty,
