In the original work, Ainz took the Lizardmen under his wing to train his subordinates. In fact, Ainz was quite intelligent. He knows that since these people are no longer just game NPCs, he needs to let them learn to think independently.
Such independent thinking would provide him with more conveniences in the future. After all, he is just a person and needs other people's assistance. In the past, he had forty companions, but now, they are gone, so he wants to develop his subordinates into companions.
The Lizardmen were just the beginning. Soon, Ainz and his team finalized their plans to target the Lizardmen and the Bloody Emperor.
After detailed planning, Ainz decided to send Death Knights first to test the waters.
Meanwhile, the Slane Theocracy, having lost contact with the Sunlight Scripture and the Black Scripture, and having lost a powerful World Item, could no longer sit still. They immediately sent people to investigate.
Knowing this, Antilene sensed that there might be powerful opponents here, so she volunteered and arrived at the location.
"Antilene from Slane Theocracy? I see, but her presence doesn't matter!"
Renner remarked, unconcerned about Antilene's arrival. The Slane Theocracy was undoubtedly powerful, even could be called the strongest. They have a lot of resources and strong individuals, but now, her side also had nine individuals, each of whom was an exceptional existence.
Therefore, Antilene's arrival did not significantly impact them.
"However, as the host, we should still meet her. Since Father is currently free, and those idiot brothers of mine are busy fighting each other, they can handle this matter!"
Renner said calmly, indifferent to the internal power struggles. Her mindset had completely changed. Before, she might have seized control of the country upon gaining power, but now she knew her real enemies were Ainz and his followers.
So, she stayed out of the power struggles, letting them fight amongst themselves. Once the dust settled, she would take control of this kingdom directly. Her focus was solely on Ainz's Great Tomb, and everything else was irrelevant.
Antilene, upon arriving in the kingdom, met with the kingdom's high-ranking officials, including the old king and several princes. However, none of them impressed her, and she couldn't locate the World Item. Even though they had marked it previously, the mark could be easily removed.
But accident still occur. For example, now, Antilene was wandering around in the capital, and then encountered the members of Blue Rose. In fact, there is no conflict between the two sides.
Blue Rose couldn't always stay in the royal palace, so they were often out and about in the capital, doing various tasks. When they ran into Antilene today, although they suppressed their own power, they did not expect that Antilene's senses are very keen.
Antilene pursues the strong. She is a half-elf, but despised her elven heritage. Her hair completely covered the characteristic elven ears.
For Antilene, identifying a strong person wasn't solely about sensing their aura. Having spent years among the upper echelons of the Slane Theocracy, she knew that it was easy for someone to hide their aura if they wanted to.
However, Blue Rose members were too good at concealing their presence, which made Antilene narrow her eyes. If she could sense some aura, it would have been fine, but not being able to detect anything from the entire team was suspicious.
So she directly focused on these individuals and had her subordinates gather information about them.
"Interesting, the data suggests some of them have stepped into the Hero Realm, but even those in the Hero Realm shouldn't be able to hide their aura completely from me. There's something odd about these people!"
After Antilene got the information, she knew there's a problem with the Blue Rose's members.The so-called Hero Realm was nothing but trash for her, weak and insignificant.
The disparity in status was evident. What ordinary people might chase their entire lives and fail to reach, those with the right talents could easily cross that chasm. The world wasn't equal.
At this moment, Antilene desperately focused on these people, and after dismissing her subordinates, she directly found Blue Rose's permanent residence according to the information she had.
Although they couldn't stay in the palace, it was very convenient for them to have an estate outside.
Now that Antilene came here, she didn't walk through the main entrance, but scale the walls instead, as she wanted to test Blue Rose's capabilities.
"Who's there!"
Just when Antilene entered, a massive hammer swung towards her. It was Gagaran who had sensed her presence. The entire estate was shrouded in their aura, allowing them to detect intruders easily. Although Antilene was powerful, at around level 80-90, everyone here was at level 100.
The hammer strike sent Antilene flying, but she wasn't injured since Gagaran hadn't used her full strength.
"As expected, you're not simple. This strength has surpasses the so-called Hero Realm by countless times. You all seem to be strong. Are you the one who steal the Theocracy's artifact?"
Antilene was fearless, as her own strength gave her confidence. As for Gagaran, although her strength is impressive, Antilene wasn't interested in her, because she preferred men over women.
"What are you doing here, Slane Theocracy's Antilene?"
Gagaran asked in doubt. She wondered if their previous actions get exposed? But that was very unlikely, given how covert they had been. And even if it was exposed, it should be related to Brain, not them.
"Gagaran, what's going on? Who's the intruder?"
At this time, the other members of Blue Rose also came over. After seeing Antilene, they couldn't help but froze. After all, Antilene was quite famous in Slane Theocracy.
"It seems you all know me. Now, can you tell me why you're so strong? Also, where is the artifact you stole from the Black Scripture?"
Antilene is very clever, and her eyes are always scanning at everyone and made sure that the cheongsam was not here. Only then she spoke. After all, Downfall of Castle and Country is indeed very distinctive and easily recognizable due to its splendid appearance.
