After bringing her into his home, Lu Lin placed her on the sofa.
I prepared some towels and hot water for her.
A short while later, Emilia, whose magic power had been restored, woke up on her own.
She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.
"here it is......"
Then Lu Lin was discovered.
"Who are you?"
How did I get here?
Lu Lin then explained the reason to her.
"I see, thank you for saving me."
"My name is Emilia. I used to live in a place called Roswaal Castle, but for some reason I came to this strange place. I don't know why that person attacked me just now."
"Mr. Lu Lin, you are the first person I have met who is willing to help me."
Lu Lin waved his hand and said calmly:
"I didn't help you; you were just lying at my doorstep, so I just patted you on the back."
Emilia bowed gracefully.
"Mr. Lu Lin, you are too modest. You were the one who offered to help me, yet you refuse to acknowledge it. Your character is truly noble."
Lu Lin didn't answer her. He knew Emilia's personality; there was no point in saying anything negative.
"Since... you're awake and seem to be alright, you can leave now."
"After all, this is only our first meeting."
Lu Lin spoke without any concern.
Emilia may be a noble elven princess in the eyes of other men, but to him, she is just an elf.
His mind is filled with countless pieces of knowledge and history, as well as the memories and lives of countless people.
These memories and past experiences made him incredibly mature.
Lu Lin had already told Emilia to leave, but she remained standing there with her head down, not moving.
It seems that he went through a fierce internal struggle.
Emilia blushed, her eyes glistening with tears, and looked up at Lu Lin.
"Um... I have a very troublesome request for you, Mr. Lu Lin. Could you please allow Parker and me to stay?"
"We didn't know anyone when we arrived in this city."
"Even if I go out... boohoo... boohoo... I'll be homeless."
"I know it's not nice to say this, but... you're the first person in this city to be kind to me."
"I swear, once we find a way home, we'll leave immediately."
"Until then, please take us in."
"Of course...we're not staying for free, really...if there's anything you need, just let me know, and I'll do my best to do it."
As she spoke, she wiped away the tears that had fallen from her eyes with her delicate, fair hands.
Lu Lin pondered for a moment. What the other party said made sense. They were all alone in this strange city, and more importantly, they didn't understand the culture. They were very likely to be deceived. If they were kicked out, they would either become homeless or face even worse consequences.
And it's about myself.
He glanced at his own home; the entire floor, occupied by only him all day, did indeed seem somewhat empty.
Do you know how to sweep the floor?
Emily nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate.
Yes, I will.
"That's fine then, I'll let you stay here for the time being."
"You're in charge of cleaning the floors here, understand?"
Lu Lin turned his back and walked straight to the kitchen, ignoring Emilia's grateful expression behind him.
"Yes, I understand."
"Mr. Lu Lin may seem unwilling on the surface, but he is actually a very good person."
Emilia burst into tears of joy, staring at Lu Lin's back, her feelings for this man she had met in a foreign land growing stronger.
The lowest level of the 7th district in Academy City.
Ainz Ooal Gown and his men built a temporary lair here.
A miniature version of the Nazarick necropolis.
During their time in Academy City, they used this place as their base for various activities.
Above the main hall of the cemetery.
Ainz Ooal Gown, the Bone King, sat on his throne, exuding an air of majesty.
The guardians of all levels stood respectfully below.
They await the words of their supreme ruler.
Ainz Ooal Gown's eyes flashed wildly with green flames, and he suddenly spoke:
"Albedo, go and investigate."
"The student named Lu Lin during the day."
"I want to know all about him."
(Please give me flowers and recommendation votes, thank you readers!)
Chapter Nineteen: The Last Winged One, Jibril (Seeking flowers and recommendation votes)
Just as Albedo was about to leave.
Demiurge quickly stepped out from the back row.
"Your Majesty, regarding the young man from earlier that day, I have completed my investigation of his background as instructed by you."
Ainz Ooal Gown, seated on the throne, wore a blank skeletal face, but was inwardly utterly bewildered.
His own instructions?
During the day, I was so busy being shocked that I didn't know when such an order had been given.
However, as a ruler, he would not say this aloud.
I simply nodded and agreed with what the other person said.
"right."
"That's right, back then, I already had my eye on Lu Lin."
"However, my gesture of issuing the command wasn't particularly obvious, I didn't expect you to notice it, Demiurge."
"You really understand me."
Demiurge clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed his head in reply.
"This is all thanks to the wise guidance of the Supreme Being; I alone could not have come up with this idea."
Ainz Ooal Gown was flattered by the other party's words and felt like he was floating on air. At this moment, his body's forced calming mechanism activated, and he instantly returned to his cold and collected state of mind.
"Ahem, tell me what information you've gathered from your investigation?"
Demiurge nodded and spoke.
"I used a little trick to hack into the city's 'Library' database and found all the information about that student with the strange behavior."
"Lu Lin arrived in Academy City three years ago. He is a zero-ability user, enjoys playing games, and has virtually no social skills. However, he excels at searching for information and has assisted the Academy City leadership in completing four major missions, for which he received a substantial reward."
"Living in the upscale dormitory area of District 7, I got to know Accelerator and other psychics through a mission."
That's all the information I have.
Ainz Ooal Gown was stunned after hearing this.
That's all?
"No other important information?"
Demiurge nodded with a hint of guilt.
"This is all the information I can gather."
Ainz Ooal Gown frowned inwardly. While this information was somewhat special, it was also quite ordinary.
"Isn't there anything else?"
Demiurge shook his head again.
"Lord Ainz, I think we should be very cautious about this person."
"Today, he dares to completely disregard the majesty of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, and even commands Accelerator, the number one player in Academy City. This person is definitely extraordinary."
Ainz Ooal Gown wholeheartedly agreed.
Even he could tell that Accelerator was no ordinary person.
Even if everyone present at the time joined forces, they might not have been a match for him.
Accelerator is definitely on the list, it's just unclear where he ranks.
“Yes, Demiurge, you’re right. We should indeed be careful.”
"Albedo, you must be very careful when you go to investigate. Even if you are exposed, do not anger the other party, understand?"
Albedo nodded.
