"This is... Sir Seer, I presume? Pleased to meet you, I am Renner!"
Renner greeted Asahi with a bow, looking every bit the noble princess. However, it was merely a facade.
"Warrior Captain Gazef, could I speak with Sir Seer alone?"
Renner asked with a smile. Gazef, being straightforward, had no objections and left immediately. He happened to need to check on the military, being the Warrior Captain.
"Now that you've deliberately sent Gazef away, what do you want to discuss?"
Asahi looked at Renner with a faint smile, understanding her intentions.
"Ara, Sir Seer, please don't play dumb riddles with me. You are a seer after all, so you must know my intentions!"
Renner maintained her smiling face. Her ability to change her expressions was indeed remarkable.
"No need to test me. You want to see if I know your true nature, right? If your true nature is exposed, it won't have much impact, but you wouldn't want that, would you?"
Asahi could easily see right through her. Renner intended to test whether he was truly a seer or an impostor. If he was fake, it would be ideal for her. But Asahi's words made her heart sink.
"Actually, you don't have to worry at all. Since I asked Gazef to find you, it means I won't harm you. Your talent is impressive and you are more than qualified to be the ruler, much more so than those foolish princes."
"Your attempts to test me are futile. But I won't reveal your secrets!"
Asahi said very calmly. At this time, Renner's smile faded, her expression becoming somewhat eerie.
"As expected of the seer, you truly live up to your name. My secrets are completely useless against you. However, to be honest, your words alone do not reassure me. So, Sir Seer, name your conditions. What will it take for you to keep my secrets?"
Someone like Renner wouldn't easily trust others, especially not Asahi's words. In her eyes, there must be a condition. There's no such thing as a free lunch, so without conditions, she couldn't be at ease.
"As expected of the Golden Princess, your dark heart is truly remarkable. But you got one thing wrong. I don't need any conditions because, for me, this is just a game. It's nothing significant."
"Making you the ruler and having Gazef support you is because of your capability. It's because you are more suitable than others, so making you the ruler will make the game more interesting!"
Asahi spoke indifferently, but Renner wasn't convinced.
"I don't understand what this 'game' is, but I won't believe such a statement!"
Renner shook her head again. If it had been someone like Climb, they would have left, profusely thanking him. But Renner, being a master of deception, didn't want to see any unexpected outcomes.
"Interesting. Then, let me give you a preview. Knowing the game's content will definitely make it more intriguing!"
Asahi's mischievous side emerged as he projected a vision of the world's original future.
"The undead archmage, the Great Tomb, Ainz Ooal Gown, and a century-long aftershock? This is truly remarkable!"
Watching these scenes, Renner understood. The century-long aftershock was happening again. Every 100 years, there will be a century-long aftershock. At that time, special being would descend.
These people possess the power comparable to the Gods, completely overwhelming all warriors, mages, and races. The other party also had incredibly terrifying artifacts. Of course, Renner wasn't fully aware of this, as only the Theocracy knew these details.
The reason she knew now was that Asahi had laid everything out before her, showing the past instances of the century-long aftershock and the beings that had appeared each time.
"Sir Seer, if these beings descend during the century-long aftershock, we will have no power to resist them. Only the Theocracy possesses similarly terrifying artifacts that could possibly compare to them!"
Renner shook her head. In her view, opposing such beings was undoubtedly suicidal. The game seemed to require their kingdom to confront these entities, but was that even possible?
She had seen their capabilities, as a single big move from one of these beings had wiped out a third of the kingdom's army and turned them into monsters that launched a frenzied counterattack.
She couldn't imagine how she could win against such a force. It seemed utterly hopeless.
"Since I want you to play the game, I naturally won't make the game very unbalanced. You can look at these…"
After that, Asahi projected the scenes of Gazef and Brain, showing how they had become incredibly powerful after twenty years of training.
"With over twenty years of effort, Gazef and Brain can now take down most opponents in a one-on-one fight without relying on extraordinary artifacts. But this isn't enough. I need to train a few more people, including you, Golden Princess Renner. It would be interesting to see you become stronger, wouldn't it?"
Asahi looked at Renner, not with disdain, but with appreciation.
Renner, in contrast to others, was not just a pretty face. Those others didn't know how to protect themselves, whereas Renner was like a snake lurking in the dark, always watching for the right moment to strike. If she had enough power, her decisiveness would surpass anyone else's.
"I can have such power too? That's wonderful! If that's true, then I will surely win this game!"
Renner is very confident. As long as she has such power, and the intelligence she had gained about their enemies, she is confident that she can resist the opponent's attack, and it is not impossible to even defeat the other party directly.
Of course, the premise is that the combat power of the two sides is equal. But right now, even with her included, they only had three capable fighters.
Three people couldn't match the enemies, who had guardians of terrifying power. Even if they could handle a one-on-one fight, the enemies wouldn't fight fairly.
If a comrade was in trouble, there's no way the others would just stand by idly….
At least, that's what Renner gathered from the visions, seeing the leader, Ainz Ooal Gown, cared deeply about his comrades.
Moreover, Renner didn't necessarily have to fight them. By showcasing sufficient strength, she could potentially turn the Great Tomb into an ally. This wasn't impossible, further demonstrating Renner's prowess.
