Ainz’s head was filled with these thoughts, which he could not quite articulate. It felt a bit like waiting for a sneeze which would not come. He arrived before the door to the guest house, but he would not do anything like knock. Fifth, who had been following behind Ainz, immediately advanced before him.
就像是喷嚏打不出来那样，安兹这样抱着无法释怀的思绪，站在别馆的入口。他不会做像敲门那样的事。原先跟在后面的菲斯即刻站到安兹跟前。


“Open it.”
「开门」


“Understood, Ainz-sama.”
「遵命，安兹大人」


Fifth looked terribly serious as she opened the door, but the corner of her mouth seemed somewhat relaxed. This must have come from the satisfaction she felt at being able to help Ainz in some way.
打开门的菲斯虽是一脸严肃，不过嘴角却些微地松弛了。这是因为能帮上安兹的忙，所产生的满足感所致的吧。


It seems I was right to observe Jircniv. I have truly become a proper ruler. Granted, that’s not exactly the right way to treat him, but I’ll continue studying him from now on. After all, it’s to help me learn how it is to be a king.
（果然观察吉克尼夫是正确的啊。我现在确确实实地成为了一个支配者。虽然有些对不住他，但今后也让我继续好好地观察观察吧。这也是为了让我记住身为王的言行举止）

Ainz did not thank Fifth, but looked to the open door.
安兹并没有对菲斯道谢，而是眺望着敞开的门扉。


“--Eight Edge Assassins.”
「──八肢刀暗杀虫。」


“Yes! Ready for orders!”
「是！在此听令！」


The Eight Edge Assassins that were following behind Ain swiftly formed up into a line.
跟在后面的几只暗杀虫迅速地排成一排。


“--Go.”
「──去吧」


“Yes!”
「是！」


Their jaws opened and closed, and then the lined-up Eight Edge Assassins responded with a voice that seemed more forceful than usual before entering the building. Only Pandora’s Actor was supposed to be in this guest house. On occasion, Narberal was here, but for the most part, she was in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, carrying out Ainz’s orders.
下颚开合，排成一排的八肢刀暗杀虫发出了比平时更有气势的声音入侵了建筑物内。这栋别馆内只有潘多拉·亚克特在。有时娜贝拉尔也会在这里，不过大部分的时候她都是待在纳萨力克地下大坟墓、实行着安兹所命令的事情。


He could have stationed a regular maid here, but it could be troublesome if people who came to visit Momon thought they were being observed. Thus, it had come to this. However, if Pandora’s Actor stayed here alone, there was the possibility that the people who had brainwashed Shalltear might infiltrate this place. Thus, Ainz felt it was better to set up some countermeasures.
虽说是可以在这里设置一名一般女仆，不过要是被来见飞飞的人误以为是监视的话，那可就麻烦了。所以才变成现在这个形式。但让潘多拉·亚克特单独一人待在这里的话，考虑到将夏提亚洗脑的敌人有可能会潜入这里，安兹觉得还是应该采取一些措施比较好。


...Still, in order for that to happen, someone would need to infiltrate all the way in here. Well, only fools don’t prepare enough. ...Mm -- still, how long should I wait here? Or should I move forward? By common sense, I should wait here. After all, the Eight Edge Assassins will return to me. However, is a king really supposed to wait at the door?
（……不过前提条件是，有人可以入侵到这里来才是啊。嘛，怠慢戒备是愚者的作为啊。……嗯──不过话说回来，我要在这里等到什么时候啊？还是我该迈步了吗？以常识来思考的话，在这边等待应该是正确的。毕竟八肢刀暗杀虫他们会回到是这里。但是，在门口等待是王所该作为的吗？）


After hesitating for a bit, Ainz thought, ah well, forget it, and entered the guest house.
安兹犹豫了一会，带着嘛，算了，这样的想法。踏进了别馆内。


He advanced, using the regal, proper bearing he had practiced dozens of times, in a way which he felt best fitted a ruler.
用在自己房间内训练过好几十次的、与支配者相应的──他觉得──堂堂地态度行走前进。


However, within less than 20 paces, one of the Eight Ege Assassins returned and genuflected before Ainz.
不过才走了不到二十步，其中一只八肢刀暗杀虫便返回，并安兹面前跪拜道。


“Ainz-sama, we have summoned Pandora’s Actor-sama. He will present himself to you soon.”
「安兹大人，已经传唤了潘多拉·亚克特大人。他很快便会来参见」


“Is that so. Then I shall wait in the guest room.”
「这样啊。那我在会客室等好了」


Ainz had been to this guest house before, so Ainz had a rough idea of its layout. After Fifth opened the door for him, Ainz moved without hesitation to the main seat in the guest room.
因为之前就来过这栋别馆了，所以里头房间的位置安兹大概都知道。让菲斯帮他开门后，安兹毫不犹豫的坐在会客室的主位。


This violated much of the manners he had picked up as a salaryman and felt wrong to him. However, this was an easy task for Ainz, who had spent much time practicing to be a ruler.
虽然因为这违反了以前作为职员的礼节，而感到了了些违和感。不过这对于累积了许多支配者训练的安兹来说，这是不过是些难易度很低的招数。


Shortly after, a knocking came from the door. Ainz nodded to Fifth.
而保持这样等了一会儿后，入口处便传来了敲门声。安兹对菲斯点头了点头。


Having received permission, Fifth opened the door, and Pandora’s Actor entered the room. He was not using magic to appear as Momon, but was in his usual military uniform.
得到了许可的菲斯将门打开，潘多拉·亚克特走进了房间内。并非模仿安兹发动魔法时所化成的飞飞的样子，而是平时穿着的军装。

“Oh Supreme One, my creator Ainz-sama--”
「向无上的至尊，同时也是我的创造主的安兹大人──」

“No need to greet me. Sit.”
「招呼就不用了。坐吧」

“Yes!”
「是！」

He clicked his heels together with a kan before marching in.
咚，这样并起脚跟后，大步迈开走了过来。

His movements were as smooth and crisp as that of a soldier’s, but to Ainz, they were entirely unnecessary. The best word to describe this was “overacting”.
他的举动像军人那样利落，不过对安兹来说那都是多余的动作。这和装模作样这个词真是太匹配了。

And so, Pandora’s Actor advanced to the place beside Ainz and sat.
潘多拉·亚克特就那样直直前进，在安兹的身旁坐了下来。

Don’t people usually sit opposite each other?
（一般不都是坐对面的吗？）

Everyone possessed an area around them called their personal space, but Ainz could not help but stare at Pandora’s Actor’s remorseless blitzkrieg on that domain.
每个人都有一个叫做私人空间的东西，但却毫不在意地入侵进来的潘多拉·亚克特，不禁令安兹瞠目。

...Well, I guess it’s all right. Still, he’s really close...
（……嘛，算了。不过，好近……）

Ainz closely inspected Pandora’s Actor as he sat down. He no longer felt the same shock he had when he had first seen him in the Treasury. Perhaps the passage of time and meeting him several times to give orders had softened the impact on him.
安兹紧盯着观察起了坐下的潘多拉．亚克特观察。已经感觉不到最初在宝物殿时，那般的冲击感了。是时间的流逝以及曾经对其下过几次命令时的会面，使得刺激变得缓和了吧。

“May I ask--”
「请问是怎——」

“No, it’s nothing, don’t worry about it. All right, I have some things to ask you. First, I’d like to know about Momon’s condition. I know what you’ve reported to Albedo… so, are there any problems?”
「没，没什么，不要在意。好了，我有些事情想要问问你来着。首先是作为飞飞的现状。你向雅儿贝德报告过的事情我已经知道了……有什么问题吗？」

“It would seem that there is nothing spec--”
「倒是没什么特——」

“Is that so. Good. Then, I’d like to ask you, as Pandora’s Actor -- are there any problems on your end?”
「是么。那就好。那么我想要问问作为潘多拉·亚克特的你，有什么问题吗？」

The mood in the air changed.
气氛突然发生了转变。

“In truth, Ainz-sama!”
「其实啊，安兹大人!」

Ainz leaned back, as though the tremendous presence of Pandora’s Actor was crushing him.
就像是被气势汹汹地将身体探过来的潘多拉·亚克特压倒了一般，安兹仰向了后方。

“I, I have suffered greatly!”
「我啊，现在真的是饱受煎熬啊」

Who’s the one suffering here?!
谁啊，你这家伙。

However, Ainz did not have the time to shoot back with that before Pandora’s Actor continued speaking
安兹连吐这么句槽的时间都没有，潘多拉·亚克特就这么滔滔不绝地继续说了下去。

“During this time, I have not once been able to touch magic items. I have been unable to maintain the various magic items created by the Supreme Beings. The sorting of data crystals has ground to a halt as well. Please! No matter what, Ainz-sama! I beseech you to grant me some time with those items!”
「这段时间，我一直没能碰过魔法道具。没能打磨过由无上至尊们制作的各种各样的魔法道具。就连数据水晶的分类也停止在了中途。无论如何，安兹大人！请给于我一些与魔法道具接触的时间吧！」

“...I, did I design you that way?”
「……我有、把你设定成这样的吗？」

“Of that there is no doubt! These feelings were bestowed upon me by yourself, Momonga-sama!”
「正是如此！这种心情正是由安兹大人赐予的啊！」

“...Ahhhhh.”
「…………啊啊」

Ainz desperately tried to recall the way he had designed Pandora’s Actor. He could recall giving him a backstory that stated he liked managing magic items and the like. Ainz’s original intent was to design him in such a way that he would not find it strange to be alone in the Treasury -- indeed, one could consider being surrounded by the things he loved to be a heavenly job. So it would seem that Ainz’s personality settings were the source of the problem. However, for some reason, it seemed to have reached the level of a fetish.
安兹拼命地回想潘多拉·亚克特的设定。说起来确实有着给它加上，像是喜欢魔法道具的管理之类相关设定的记忆。那是本来为了让潘多拉·亚克特即使一个人待在宝物殿也不会显得特别奇怪的设定——被喜好的事物包围，可以说是在天堂般的工作，安兹的这种脑内设定即是问题的源头。不过，总觉得这好像已经到了恋物癖的领域了。

“Did I not permit you to return to Nazarick every day?”
「我不是有允许过，你可以每天返回纳萨力克的么」

While half of Nazarick’s undead were made by Ainz, the other half were made by Pandora’s Actor. Granted, the undead made by Pandora’s Actor were weaker than those made by Ainz, to some extent. Still, that was within acceptable parameters, and there were adequate frozen corpses on the 5th Floor for that purpose.
虽然纳萨力克生产的不死者有一半是安兹制作的，但剩下的另一半是出自潘多拉·亚克特之手。虽然和安兹制造比起来，亚克特制造的产品多少要弱一些。但这完全属于误差允许的范围内，放在第五阶层的冰冻尸体也还多得是。

In fact, there were so many of them that the two of them working together could not use them up.
多到两个人一起生产也处理不过来的程度。

“However, I have not received permission to return to the Treasury!”
「可是，我并没有得到能返回宝物殿的许可啊！」

What could he be feeling that made him omit his usual theatrics?
是怎样的心境让他没有了平常那夸张的动作呢。

“I understand. Then, I shall inform Shalltear and have her give the Ring to you. In addition, I grant you permission to work on my comrades’ weaponry and equipment. Don’t damage them.”
「我知道了。那么就交代夏提雅，让她把戒指交给你吧。还有你请求的，有关我同伴们武器装备的请求，也准许好了。注意不要损坏了啊」

“It shall--”
「是——」

“Stop that. Speaking normally will be fine. Didn’t I tell you this before, hm, Pandora’s Actor?”
「停下那种举止。普通地说话就罢，这点我之前就——没说过吗。嗯，潘多拉·亚克特哟」

“Yes!”
「是！」

“The relationship between us is one of creator and created. The fact is, I am very happy with the way you have worked hard to show me the being I intended to make. However, sometimes I wonder; should a son not work to exceed his father?”
「我与你之间是创造者与被创造者的关系。你为了让我看到正如我想要创造的姿态而不断努力着，这让我非常高兴。不过，有时我也会这么想。孩子、那不正应该是超越父亲的存在么」

“Ohhhh… Ainz-sama. To think you would refer to me as your son!”
「哦哦……安兹大人。您居然称我是为您的孩子」

“Umu, umu. You are, er, my son, or something like that. That, er, how shall I put this, most likely, er, that should be the case. Therefore, there’s no need to use German or salute or be so dramatic in front of me. Since I made you, I want to see the parts of you that I did not make, as proof that you have grown.”
「唔嗯、唔嗯。那什么你就像是、我的孩子，那样的存在。那样的、那个、怎么说，肯定、是的没有错的。所以，像是德语啊敬礼啊这之类夸张的反应，没有在我面前表现的必要哦。我在创造出你的同时，也希望能看到我所没有创造出的部分啊。作为你成长的证明」

Ainz glanced behind at the sound of sniffling, and saw that Fifth was dabbing at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
向着传来抽泣声的方向看去，菲斯正用手帕擦拭着眼角。

What?
为啥？

Isn’t she crying too easily?
泪腺会不会太松缓了些？

Just as Ainz was feeling confused, Pandora’s Actor bowed his head.
而就在安兹困惑之时，潘多拉·亚克特也深深地低下了头。

“I understand -- Father!”
「我明白了——父亲大人！」

“...Oh.”
「…………哦」

“I shall show you what you wish to see, Father!”
「由您所创造出我，必将会展现出父亲大人所期望的姿态！」

He was wrong. He had taken it too lightly. Although it was impossible, Ainz felt a headache assailing him.
弄错了。太轻率了。虽然这是不可能地，但安兹现在正被头痛所袭击着。

“Pandora’s Actor. You must not tell anyone else of what has happened here. Understood? If people know that you’re receiving special treatment, it might result in friction with the others. Also -- in fact, because of that, I will be placing you lower on my priorities. If the time comes when I have to choose between helping you or the Guardians, I will abandon you.”
「潘多拉·亚克特哟。在这里发生的事情不可以和其他任何人说哦。明白吗？要是让人知道了你是被特别对待的话，便会有产生摩擦的可能。还有——正因如此，我才会把你在我心中的优先度设定的更低。守护者和你，若是到了无法同时保全的场合的话，我割舍的将会是你」

“But of course! Please, sacrifice me as you see fit!”
「那是当然！请尽管将我舍弃吧！」

As Ainz watched him thrust out the chest while speaking, guilt grew in Ainz’s heart.
面对这挺起胸膛说出的话语，一股罪恶感在安兹的心中油然而生。

“I am sorry. And… Fifth. Do not speak of what has happened here.”
「抱歉啊。还有……菲斯。这里发生的一切都不得泄露」

After seeing Fifth nod in acknowledgement, Ainz nodded as well.
看到菲斯点头表示了解，安兹也点了点头。

“Then, I will be on my way.”
「那么我就先走了」

“Ah, about that, could you hold on a little? Since we meet rarely, there is a matter I would like to ask you, Father. May I know how you intend to rule this Sorcerous Kingdom?”
「那个，还请稍等片刻。毕竟难得相见，我有件务必想要请教父亲大人的事情。父亲大人究竟是想如何统治这魔导国呢？」

“What?”
「什么？」

“Many humans have their doubts about the path upon which you intend to take this country, Father. For instance, if you wish to adopt a policy of expansion, they fear that they will be sent onto the battlefield, and so on.”
「很多的人类，都对父亲大人要引领这个国家走向怎样的道路抱有疑问的样子。是要开始领土扩张政策么，那样的话会轮到自己被派去战场吗，像是这类的疑问」

Ainz froze in place.
安兹停止了动作。

Where was he going to take Ainz Ooal Gown?
安兹·乌尔·恭的所要前往的彼岸究竟在何方呢。

To begin with, Ainz was just a regular person, yet he had stated a nigh-unreachable goal like conquering the world. Ainz had stopped thinking about it. He felt that it would be better to hand this matter to intelligent people like Albedo or Demiurge.

That said, the matter of how to run this country was a question which he could not evade.
归根结底是个一般人的安兹，却提出了征服世界这个远大无比的目标，关于这点安兹已经放弃思考了。交给雅儿贝德或是迪米乌哥斯这些脑袋灵光的家伙就好，他是这么想的。然而，决定这个国家将来要如何统治，却是个无法回避的问题。

“Is, is something wrong, Father?”
「请问，怎么了，父亲大人」

“...I intend to let you know, but I’m still drafting it up in my mind. I shall discuss the matter with the various Guardians of Nazarick and then inform you.”
「……虽然也想要告诉你，但那还只是我心里的草案。今后，待我与纳萨力克的各守护者商讨后，再告知你吧」

“Yes!”
「是！」

Ainz rose silently.
安兹默默地站了起来。

“Then that will be all, Pandora’s Actor.”
「那么就这样吧，潘多拉·亚克特」

After hearing Pandora’s Actor bid him farewell, Ainz left the room.
听着后面传来的潘多拉·亚克特的还礼，安兹走出了房间。

Before he left through the main door, he sent a [Message] to Shalltear before he forgot, informing him of Pandora’s Actor’s request. If he put it off, he would probably forget it later on.
从大门口出去之前，趁着还没忘掉时给夏提雅发去了<讯息>，传达了潘多拉·亚克特的请求。工作什么的之后再干吧，如果这么想的话到后来大多都会忘记。

Once he reached the door, Ainz moved faster than Fifth and opened the door before she could do so for him.
到达门口的安兹比想要上前开门的菲斯动作更快，亲自打开了门。

Then, he looked to the sky.
然后望向了天空。

It was a clear, blue sky.
蔚蓝的天空。

“I’ll be flying,” Ainz curtly said. Although the people behind him began to panic, Ainz chose to pay them no heed.
「飞吧」

安兹这么简短的说道。虽然身后的人纷纷呈现出了慌乱的迹象，但安兹还是选择了无视。

Ainz floated into the sky thanks to the [Fly] spell, and then landed on the roof of the guest house.
通过<飞行>安兹浮到了空中。然后在别馆的屋顶上降落了下来。

Because E-Rantel was a city protected by three layers of walls, from this vantage, half of his field of vision was blocked by the city walls.
由于耶·兰提尔是座由三层的城墙所守护着的要塞都市，所以从这里看过去，视野的大半都被城墙所遮住了。

“I can’t see from here, huh? Looks like I’ll have to go for a walk.”
「看不到吗，那样的话只有去走一趟了啊」

He might be able to think of something if he walked the streets. Staying here meant that there was no way he would be able to think of anything.
走在街上的话，会浮现出什么想法也说不定。只是待在这里的话绝对无法浮现的想法。

Just then, the forms of the Eight Edge Assassins -- who had climbed the walls -- appeared before Ainz as well.
而这时爬上了城墙的八肢刀暗杀虫们的身影，也出现在安兹的面前。

“Ainz-sama, please wait! It’s dangerous to go alone!”
「安兹大人，请等一下！您独自一人的话实在是太危险了」

He could not simply laugh off the Eight Edge Assassins’ words.
无法对八肢刀暗杀虫们的进言一笑置之。

Someone standing in the middle of a wide-open area with good visibility in all directions was practically asking to be sniped.
一个人站在视野开阔的地方，就等同于要别人狙击自己一样的。

“That’s true. I’d make a good target if my opponent was Peroroncino-san.”
「说得也是。如果对手是佩罗罗奇诺桑的话，确实就是个好靶子啊」

Peroroncino the archer -- who was the most specialized in ranged combat within the guild Ainz Ooal Gown -- would probably be able to hurt Ainz very badly. That man could easily attack from even two kilometers out. His favorite tactic was concealing himself and then sniping his opponent -- albeit with a bow. That said, even if his opponent was Peroroncino, Ainz had no intention of allowing himself to be toyed with until he died.
如果是身为"安兹?乌尔?恭"之中，最为特化远距离战的弓箭手佩罗罗奇诺的话，就能痛击安兹一番了吧。那个男人即便在最远两公里之外，也能轻易地展开攻击。潜伏暗处，接着狙击——虽然是用的是弓——是他的拿手好戏。但虽说如此，就算对手是佩罗罗奇诺，安兹也不打算被单方面的玩弄致死。

Ainz was confident that he could use various means to defend, escape, or counterattack. He had honed his skills through PVPing, and he would definitely not die in such a helpless manner. However, if he had to be wary of attack methods from  this world, the Eight Edge Assassins had a point.
安兹有自信能够使用复数手段展开防御、逃走、又或者反守为攻。在和他进行的PVP中锻炼出能做到这点的本事，绝不会令他就这样眼睁睁的死掉。但是若是要警戒只存在于这个世界的攻击手段的话，八肢刀暗杀虫们所说的是正确的。

Ainz could not die now. At the very least, before experimenting with resurrecting players, he had to assume he only had one life, and prepare a meatshield for himself.
安兹现在还不能死。至少在进行过玩家的复活实验之前，必须把自己当作只有一条命来准备盾牌不可。

His best and safest option for that job was Albedo, whose defensive strength was the highest among the Guardians. However, he would need people to protect her as well, which would necessitate a large deployment of forces. He did not want to do that unless it was for the purpose of baiting an enemy attack.
绝对的安全牌是守护者中防御力最高的雅儿贝德。但有必要再加上保护她的人，那样的话绝对会成为大阵仗出动。除了引诱敌人攻击为目的外，实在不想这么做。

If that was the case, the best choice would be disposable and high-level vassals, but--
那样的话，最合适的人选就是能舍弃的高等级仆役，但——

I don’t have any high-level vassal monsters. Even if I wanted to use mercenary monsters, I spent a lot of money summoning Albedo’s subordinates, so I don’t have the cash out of pocket to casually summon monsters.
（我可没有高等的仆役啊。就算想要召唤佣兵魔物，在给雅儿贝德召唤出直属的部下时花了不少钱，我的钱包已经没有能随便召唤的余裕了啊）

He had decided to make a big show of spending to show that he was generous, and now he vaguely regretted doing so. All he could do was comfort himself by saying that he had to maintain his image as her boss.
因为想要显示下大方而豁出钱来，现在感到有点后悔了，但也只能以上司有时不得不撑面子来安慰自己。

Hang on, let’s think this through step by step.
（等下等下，一个一个来考虑）

Ainz listed various possibilities in his mind.
安兹在脑中把一条条可能性列了出来。

Mercenary monsters. He had no money, so they were out.
佣兵魔物。因为没钱所以不行。

The skill, [Undead Lieutenant]. It required XP, so he decided against it.
特殊技能 [Skill] "不死者副官"。会花费经验值所以也否决。

Using the summons from the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. The very fact that he had to carry the Guild Weapon with him meant that it was out of the question.
使用安兹?乌尔?恭之杖的召唤。要把公会武器拿着走根本不需要谈。

The skill, [Create Undead]. Even if he created upper-tier undead, they would only be level 70, which he would not even trust to escort the Guardians.
特殊技能"不死者创造"。就算创造出上位不死者也只到七十等级，达不到让守护者们带着的仆役等级。

No, I have a trump card in store.
（不，我还有王牌在）

He had enhanced his undead creation skills through the use of a dark ritual.
那就是熟练暗黑仪式，而得到的不死者创造的特殊技能强化。

He could only create upper-tier undead four times a day. However, if he divided those up into two uses, he could make undead of roughly level 90.
一天中能使用的上位不死者创造只有四次。但是将其分成两次使用的话，能够做出大致有九十级的不死者。

Ainz stroked his chin, and wondered what sort of undead to make. The thief-type [Eternal Deaths], or sensory-focused Eyeball types...
安兹将手抵在下巴上，考虑着该做出怎样的不死者。是属于盗贼系的永远之死 [Eternal Death] 呢，还是探知特化的眼球系呢……。

Granted, the [Eternal Deaths] were excellent undead to use, but they had a passive skill called [Aura of Death and Decay] which was always activated. That was a potent skill which combined the effects of Ainz’s [Despair Aura V (instant death)] and [Despair Aura I (fear)], which made it capable of causing instant death and stat penalties to the enemy. In particular, the stat penalty was not a mind-affecting ability. This allowed it to bypass immunity to mind-affecting effects, which made it very hard to deal with.
虽然永远之死是非常优秀的不死者，却会随时释放着名为死亡与腐败灵气的被动技能。那是如同把安兹的绝望灵气V [即死]和绝望灵气I[恐怖]加在一起的优秀技能，所以它是能给予对手即死效果和能力值惩罚的不死者。特别是后者的能力值惩罚是特殊系而非精神系的能力的缘故，即使拥有精神系作用无效也无法防御，相当难以对付。

That said, if this ability were used under conditions where friendly fire was enabled, it would swiftly paint a hellish picture of suffering and misery. Of course, he could simply order it not to use it at all, but bringing that sort of undead onto a city street was complete insanity.
在可以对友军攻击的前提下使用，绝对会化作惨绝人寰的地狱绘图。虽然命令的话说不定可以抑制下来，不过带着这样的不死者上街根本就不是正常的行为。

Several other scary monsters appeared in his mind, but he shot all those ideas down.
在脑中又浮现了其它几个可怕的魔物，但又立刻打消了想法。

...How should I say this… they’re very capable, but they all look ugly.
（……该怎么说好啊……不管哪个外观都不怎么样啊，明明能力都很优秀）

None of them were at all suitable as guards which a king would have with him when walking the streets.
就国王行走在自己的大街时所带的护卫来说，怎么想都非常不合适。

Just as Ainz was puzzling over the matter, he noticed Fifth beneath him, trying desperately to climb the wall.
而就在安兹困扰的时候，这次才注意到了在下方正拼命地爬着墙的菲斯。

Without another word, Ainz jumped off, using [Fly] in mid-air to slow his descent, and he landed gracefully on the ground below.
安兹一言不发的跳了下去。并在半空中使用<飞行> [Fly]以降速，如同飘落而下一般降在地面上。

Fifth -- who was gripping a window face and whose face was flushed red -- hurriedly assumed her position behind Ainz.
将手搭在窗框上，脸涨得通红的菲斯，慌慌张张的跟到了安兹身后。

“Fifth.”
「菲斯」

“Yes!”
「是！」

“I will be going out to the city after this.”
「我接下来要上街去」

“Understood, I shall ready the carriage immediately!”
「遵命，那么立刻为您准备马车！」

“No, there is no need for that. I intend to observe the conditions in the city. I rule these streets, so I plan to go on foot.”
「不，没有必要。我想要看看街上的光景。这条由我所支配的街道。所以我打算徒步去」

“Eh?! But that would only stain your precious feet! Please order us to clean the streets for you! And we must prepare the followers!”
「欸！？那可是会弄脏御足的啊！请立刻下达清扫道路的命令吧！还要准备的随从们！」

Only a few roads on E-Rantel were cobbled, so after the rain, the rest became stretches of mud.
耶?兰提尔只有少数道路上才铺有石板，因此只要下雨的话就会成为一片泥泞。

“There is no need for that. I have lived in this city before.”
「不需要。我本来就有在这座城市生活过哦」

That said, after checking into the inn, he immediately returned to Nazarick to make undead.
虽然进了旅馆后就为了制作不死者，而立刻返回了纳萨力克就是。

“In addition, I intend to summon followers with magic, so there is no need to send over people from Nazarick.”
「然后我打算用魔法召唤随从，为此不需要特意从纳萨力克调派」

“...If that is the will of the Supreme One.”
「……如果这是无上至尊的判断的话」

Still, the question of what to summon remains. If I call up demons or undead, it will lead to bad rumors and vicious gossip. So I’ll need to summon something pretty, to raise opinions of me. What fits the bill...
（嘛，但问题就在于该召唤什么才好啊。如果是恶魔或是不死者的话，肯定会招来不好的流言蜚语。那样的话只要召唤出既漂亮又能提升评价的东西就好。有什么……）

As he thought of that, Ainz found the answer.
想到这里，安兹得出了答案。

“I will be summoning angels after this. Let’s go.”
「接下来将召唤天使们。走吧」

“Yes.”
「是」

Although Ainz’s karma value was extremely negative, he would not have a problem summoning angels, whose karma values were highly positive. There were some classes which had the penalty of not being able to summon monsters whose karma values were too different from their own, but Ainz did not have such classes.

Incidentally, the monsters summoned by those classes got stronger the closer the monsters’ karma values were to their masters.
虽然安兹的善恶值是极端倾向于负数，但就算召唤大大倾向于正数的天使也没有问题。一部分职业有着无法召唤与自己的善恶值相差太大的魔物这样的惩罚，不过安兹并没有那样的职业。顺带一提，有这样职业的人越是召唤与自己的善恶值相近的魔物，其召唤的魔物就越会被加强。

In YGGDRASIL, any disadvantages would have matching advantages as well.
在YGGDRASIL这款游戏中如果存在着什么劣势的话，其于之此相应的优势也一定会有。
