Depending on the situation, the priority given to obtaining coins would increase. On the other hand, if the currency of this world couldnt be used, then the money in the treasure room would become the final lifeline and any pointless spending would have to be curbed.
"Now about Clementine "
Saying the name of the womans missing corpse, Ainz made a face as if hed bitten a bug.
Because of Ainz mistake, this woman who learned much precious information had probably been revived. The disquieting sensation that she was probably disseminating her information was slowly accumulating.
The number of possible enemies were many, yet information regarding them was scarce. In contrast, the information on this side had already been leaked.
It would be best if the targets receiving the information were original guild members, but being that lucky would simply be wishful thinking. Our future actions should be taken with more caution. Still, what should be done about the identity of Momon?
Momon will probably be suspect, but it would be a waste to immediately abandon an identity in the middle of elevating its fame. The fact that Ainz and Momon were the same person should not have been leaked yet.
Theres no choice but to adapt to future developments.
Unable to think of an answer, Ainz put the subject to the side to avoid pondering on futile questions.
"Order Pandoras Actor to throw one of that womans swords into the treasure rooms Shredder to see what happens."
"Shredder?"
Albedos question reminded Ainz of the machines real name.
"Exchange Box. It allows people with Merchant abilities to appraise items of higher value. Order Pandoras Actor to make use of Nearani-sans appearance to use his special ability."
While looking at Albedo, who signaled her understanding by lowering her head, Ainz put the parchment on the table.
"There is another thing. This is the world map obtained from Re-Lantier."
"Is this.it?"
Albedos softly pursed her eyebrows, the reason was simple. This map was way too roughly made.
"I understand your dissatisfaction. This is only a map of the surrounding, it shows only a portion of this world. Moreover the measures are inconsistent and many landmarks are left unmarked."
There were many examples of information that Ainz had obtained from the President of the Magic Association in Re-Lantier that were not shown on the map, such as the locations of the Centaur tribes in the grassland, the Scorpionmens nest in the desert, the Dwarf countrys mountains, etc.. In all, this map was only useful for humans.
The reliability of a dubious map was low, but better maps would cost more money and time to map; and there were no better ones available.
These were the words of Magicians Guilds President, Theo Rakesheer, who was very close to Ainz, so it should be the truth.
Obtaining a map of such a degree was already an unreasonable request, as could be seen from his attitude.
"I understand. Then I shall have copies made and distributed to each Floor Guardian."
"Very good, before that let me explain."
Ainz pointed to the middle area where minute details were inscribed around the area.
"This is Re-Lantier, and here is the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
The finger moved from the middle toward the northeast, near the enormous forest that were the surroundings of Nazarick. This could be ascertained from the terrain.
"Here is the Azellerisia Mountain range, the border between the Kingdom of Re-Estize and the Baharuth Empire. Starting from the southern tip and revolving around the mountain range, this large area is Tove Forest. And between the southern tip of the mountain range and Tove forest is a river that flows into a ladle shaped lake. Ainz pointed to the southern side of the lake.
"This are the Great Wetlands, the location of the Lizardmens village."
Confirming Albedos nod, Ainz continued to explain.
"The following is from the Magicans Guild Presidents explanation about the surrounding countries. To the Kingdoms northwest is an area with a great number of mountain ranges where many races of demi-humans have formed the Confederation of Yagrande. Caution should be taken toward the five, or maybe, seven headed dragon acting as one of the representatives. And to the Kingdoms southwest is a country known as the Holy Kingdom. Its marked haphazardly on the map, but the countrys border is protected by a wall, the 10,000 Mile Great Wall. It guards against the Wilderness, where many demi-humans are in constant dispute."
"Thats where Demiurge was sent before."
"Thats right. On the other side of the Wilderness is the Slane Theocracy, a possible enemy we must caution against."
"Is this line the border?"
Albedo used her marble white hand to point at an encircling line.
"Most likely. Truthfully speaking, this border doesn't say much. Its very rough. Look here, to the Northeast of the Empire lies a number of countries. Together they form the Nations Alliance, they also seem to include demi-human cities. The Southwest of the Empire has many canyons forming a giant array of Stela. Countless caves house a group of humans who raises Wyverns. Their tribes lives right here.
