"Sebas, I'm heading home for a bit. You and Solution stay here for now. If anyone asks, you can say I went out to have some fun."
"You jest, Sir."
Sebas already felt bad about making Sig play the villain, and hearing him say that made him feel even worse.
Although he didn't detest humanity as a whole, he was even more unwilling for the Supreme Beings to feign civility with despicable humans, like those such as Zach.
"It's fine. If it's to complete a mission, this level of lie is acceptable. Everything is for Nazarick."
Sig looked at the somewhat reluctant Sebas, a wide smile on his face.
"Understood," Sebas nodded in agreement.
For Lord Sig, displaying such an expression, no Guardian would be able to refuse his request.
"Clementine, come with me. I will tell you in detail what you need to do next." Sig reached out to open a teleportation gate, gesturing for her to go first.
Clementine looked at the black vortex before her, constantly emanating an evil aura. If the other side connected to hell, she would believe it.
With a heart prepared for death, she took her first step.
After the two disappeared from the room, Solution breathed a sigh of relief, then reluctantly stood up, "I don't understand why Lord Sig would bring that human to Nazarick."
Sebas stroked his neatly trimmed beard, his expression very serious, "That human was once with the Black Scripture, so she must have high utilitarian value. Last time, Lord Sig handed over the Sunlight Scripture members he captured to Demiurge, but I can only guess this one reason. Lord Sig must be thinking even further ahead."
Hearing this analysis, Solution nodded in agreement, "It seems we need to pay more attention to the people of the Slane Theocracy. If we can draw them out, that would be for the best."
"This cannot be forced. We should still focus on the mission, paying attention to targets that need to be won over. Solution, you also need to manage your emotions," Sebas reminded her.
Solution lowered her brows, but the corners of her mouth began to turn up, forming a very strange expression.
"My apologies, Lord Sebas, I lost my composure. Hearing Lord Sig say he was going home, I almost cried from excitement."
'Me too, of course,' Sebas thought to himself.
On the Seventh Floor of Nazarick, the Blazing Inferno controlled by Demiurge, guests arrived at this moment.
Demiurge put down his work and specially came to receive them, first bowing elegantly.
Because of the ring, he arrived quickly, avoiding any impolite behavior.
"Lord Sig, please command me if there is anything."
"Demiurge, you can call me Ilay." Glancing at the pale-faced Clementine beside him, Sig said indifferently.
There was no special reason for the name change. Since it was an alias, it would eventually be known. Informing him directly might seem more sincere.
He didn't know to what extent Demiurge would understand, but if it was him, he should be able to deduce it.
Demiurge first showed a complex expression, then quickly came to a sudden realization, "I see… I understand."
"Lord Ilay, then will this woman receive the same treatment?"
The same treatment?
Thinking of Nigen's miserable state, Sig quickly denied, "Her situation is a little special. I will explain the specifics to you. I want to confirm if I can entrust everything to you, Demiurge?"
"If it is your wish, your subordinate will definitely do his utmost." Demiurge's proper face showed excitement for the first time.
"I already know your loyalty. Let's talk about business now. Clementine, don't just stand there either."
Clementine was like a good girl now. She had just woken up from her imagination of coming to hellfire and was pulled in front of the demon again.
She docilely stated her identity as a former Black Scripture member, now a member of Zuranon, and of course, information about her good brother.
To let the other party assess her value, she had to lay out everything that could be used as a bargaining chip. Although Clementine was almost losing consciousness, she instinctively said everything.
Demiurge pondered for a moment, "Indeed, killing her after interrogation would be too wasteful. Your subordinate has thought of four reasons."
"Is that so! There are four!"
Sig gave up thinking. He originally just wanted to obtain information about the Theocracy and find a way to plant spies.
He had a general understanding of the Kingdom and the Empire, and had heard a little about the Holy Kingdom, but knew very little about the Theocracy.
Although he had obtained a lot of information from Nigen, and his body was not wasted at all, the Sunlight Scripture and the Black Scripture were not comparable at all.
Perhaps for them, only elites could join, but the Black Scripture had God-kin, most of whom had the blood of the Six Great Gods flowing in them, and they also possessed World Items.
"Let her hear her own value, Demiurge."
"Yes, first is intelligence, which is the easiest to think of."
"Hmm… continue."
"Second is related to Lord Ainz. If used properly, Zuranon's plan can become a stepping stone for Lord Ainz."
"Indeed."
The original plot development was like this, and Sig agreed with this point.
"Third is research on God-kin. This is a very rare material. Of course, it would be even better if we could capture a true God-kin."
"And the fourth?"
"The Theocracy has high prestige among human races and will definitely become an obstacle to conquering the world. A traitor might play a good role."
Demiurge's meaning was self-evident. Governance after conquest is the most difficult, and if there is a connecting person, it will be much simpler.
"This is all that your subordinate can think of for now." Demiurge looked up, waiting for a response with some unease.
Sig nodded in appreciation, "I can indeed trust you, Demiurge."
"It is my honor to share your worries." Demiurge revealed a confident smile, even showing his fangs.
Clementine lost the ability to smile, listening to the conversation in a daze.
Only when Sig left did she suddenly realize that she had been left here, and at this moment, she could no longer move.
"Clementine, isn't it? I will make you completely new."
Demiurge sighed helplessly, "If Albedo knew that Lord Sig brought back a woman, she would definitely make a fuss again."
After Sig returned to E-Rantel, a week had passed in the blink of an eye.
Albedo had sent a message during this period, asking about Clementine, and then there was no more news.
If Demiurge hadn't reported frequently in letters, he would have thought Clementine had already been killed.
Recently, they were also preparing to leave E-Rantel and were getting ready to rendezvous.
In a flash, a sweet voice sounded, and the girl lifted her skirt, "This humble one, Shalltear, greets Lord Sig."
Shalltear Bloodfallen.
