"Ah~ These two days have been so quiet, it's a bit boring," Kael, disguised as an ordinary handsome man, walked the streets of E-Rantel and couldn't help but sigh.
The night before last, he and Double Phantom put on a grand show outside the city. They flaunted their "muscles" to all the forces in E-Rantel while creating the illusion that the mysterious figure, Shadow, hiding in the cemetery, had been killed. This way, he could avoid subsequent "tests" from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that would expose the fictitious nature of the Dark Alliance, and he could also legitimately obtain the [Downfall of Castle and Country] without being overtly hostile to The Slane Theocracy. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
He had initially thought that Gazef, the Black Scripture, and the others would visit him again the next day to find out more about the situation, but they didn't. Currently, Gazef was leading E-Rantel's city defense forces, as well as the Adventurer's Guild and the Magic Caster's Guild, to monitor the cemetery. The Black Scripture itself had been staying at an inn for the past two days and showed no intention of contacting him.
Could it be that I overreacted and scared those little creatures? Kael couldn't quite understand it for a moment.
But it didn't matter. After all, the most important purpose of his coming to E-Rantel had been achieved. The next step was to let Khajiit create an Undead disaster, so his followers could gain some experience points and make the Order of Destiny even more famous.
"So, how should I deal with those two?" When mentioning Khajiit, Kael recalled what The Great Sage of the Undead had previously reported to him. After Shadow's 'death', Khajiit and Clementine seemed to become more active, showing signs of wanting to break free from control and escape at every opportunity.
But that was true. Even a strong Shadow had died. Even if they brought about an Undead disaster, with a God of Destiny like me around, it would be almost impossible for them to seize the city. They didn't just run away, thanks to the deterrent power of the control magic previously created by The Great Sage of the Undead.
"Alright, let them struggle on their own. After all, there are plenty of tools," Kael made up his mind and decided how to deal with Khajiit and Clementine.
So why weren't they recruited? The main reason was that these two villains had bad reputations. Recruiting them would lower the positive image of the Church of Destiny. If used for dirty work, they wouldn't be very useful. He could entirely use Undead summons instead, which were also more worry-free.
Hehehe~ While humming a melodious tune, Kael was about to head to the upscale restaurant he had visited before for lunch. At this moment, a team coming towards him caught his attention.
"They seem to be... That's not right. Why are they coming to E-Rantel at this time?" A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Kael's gaze lingered on the five individuals.
There were five women, all wearing complete sets of magical equipment that ordinary adventurers couldn't possibly possess. Identification plates representing their adventurer rank hung around their necks or wrists. Judging by the material of their nameplates, it should be a rare metal from the Other World—Adamantite. There were only two Adamantite-rank adventurer teams in the Re-Estize Kingdom, namely Blue Roses and Red Drop. The specific configuration of all female members made it clear that it was the Blue Roses.
Walking in the middle of the team was a blonde woman wearing white and gold full body armor. Not only did she carry a black sword on her back, but she was also surrounded by six magical swords that circled her like satellites. The captain of Blue Roses, Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, was a highly renowned figure throughout the kingdom.
A blonde noblewoman, beautiful as a flower, with a wonderful physique, a good personality, and high combat prowess. Kael couldn't help but cast a quick glance at the woman who possessed so many advantages. Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, the blonde girl seemed to notice it and turned to look back at him.
In normal situations, if you're caught staring at someone, you should restrain yourself, otherwise, you might be branded negatively. Kael did the same, offering a faint smile and then looking away.
Both parties passed each other in the middle of the road as if nothing had happened, but Lakyus unconsciously turned her head towards Kael, as if something had caught her attention.
The tall, robust, and unfeminine warrior woman, Gagaran, noticed Lakyus's unusual behavior and asked curiously, "Lakyus, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing," Lakyus snapped back to reality, smiled, and didn't dwell on the matter.
On the other side, Kael glanced at the Blue Roses team, pondering the intelligence hidden behind their appearance.
Although Blue Roses was famous throughout the country, their activity area was still centered in the capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Unless there were special circumstances, they probably wouldn't come to E-Rantel. If there was anything unusual about E-Rantel lately, it was most likely his own activity, Ainz Ooal Gown, and other incidents.
On the surface, as the God of Destiny, he simply set up a base in the city as usual. Although he attracted attention due to his great power, he posed no threat to the city itself, so the appearance of the Blue Roses clearly had nothing to do with this.
The only remaining factors were, of course, the existence of Khajiit and the Dark Alliance. Considering the fact that Gazef was stationed at the cemetery, Kael felt that Blue Roses had come here to eliminate The Great Sage of the Undead, Khajiit, and other entities hiding in the cemetery.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems someone's about to get beaten again," Kael thought with a hint of smugness.
Now not only did the cemetery have a Great Sage of the Undead, but even Khajiit possessed high-level equipment given to him by Kael to summon Undead armies. Although Blue Roses was famous in the kingdom, they would certainly not be able to face those two Undead if a real fight broke out.
It wasn't a big deal.
Once E-Rantel officials, led by Blue Roses, organized an attack plan on the cemetery, they would find that if they wanted to solve the cemetery problem, they could only return to Kael. With the strongest adventurers in the kingdom serving as a negative example of failure, the sensation caused by Enri and her friends successfully clearing the cemetery dungeon would be even greater. Kael was overjoyed to see this happen.
"By the way, when the Blue Roses attack the cemetery, should we disguise ourselves as warriors and give them a good beating? A group of such excellent girls would definitely cry for a long time after being beaten, right?"
Generally, Magic Casters were very fragile. However, the attributes of Faith-based Magic Casters were more balanced compared to arcane Magic Casters. Although Kael was not from the Faith branch like a [Priest] whose close-combat abilities were not far inferior to warriors, his close-combat attribute values were also not weak. It was estimated that he could possess the strength of a level 45 warrior. If he equipped himself with some gear that could boost his close-combat attributes, he might be able to defeat the entire Blue Roses team as a 'warrior'.
How interesting.
Thinking of that pompous scene, Kael couldn't help but smile faintly, turn around, and walk to the upscale restaurant next door.
