Since I knew Arshe's whereabouts, I decided to visit E-Rantel, but I had to disguise myself a bit.
After all, Bell had reminded me that there were spies from Theocracy in E-Rantel. If I were to walk around E-Rantel's streets openly, I would surely be exposed. So, this is where it comes in!
Ta-da! Imitating a certain blue chubby cat pulling out various magical gadgets from its pocket, Iri also took out a white mask from her spatial bag.
This mask, made by my chuunibyou older brother, Crown Prince Pandora, perfectly mimics Evil-Crushing Lolita. It incorporates all anti-intelligence magic attributes, such as concealing aura, anti-scrying, and anti-eavesdropping.
Although its effects are limited to the wearer, it's certainly enough. Originally, Iri had only asked Crown Prince to make her something decent.
It ended up with so many effects, but that's good too. After all, the ring that Ainz gave me can only conceal my personal information, but my aura and other things still exist.
According to the timeline, Evil-Crushing Lolita should have listened to Golden Princess's advice and gone with Blue Rose to find a way to deal with Ainz, right?
However... that was the original story. Now, after I've meddled so much, the plot here is a bit chaotic.
So now, Iri isn't sure where Evil-Crushing Lolita ran off to. But it should be fine if I disguise myself as Evil-Crushing Lolita and appear in E-Rantel, right?
Besides, if Evil-Crushing Lolita knew, she would definitely know it was me impersonating her, right? After all, I was caught once before. This is good, even if she knows, it doesn't matter. They know my identity as a princess.
Moreover, they should also know that my "true intention" isn't to support my father much, so impersonating Evil-Crushing Lolita and appearing in E-Rantel can be seen as a smokescreen for Blue Rose and the others. Let them think whatever they want.
So, Iri said goodbye to everyone in Karn Village and planned to leave. The villagers said they wanted to hold a wedding for Hellank and Imina and invited Iri to stay and witness it.
However, Iri didn't have the leisure to bother with them. I don't like such occasions. They can have their fun, I won't get involved. Besides, I don't have the time; I still need to rush back to Theocracy!
After leaving Karn Village, Iri quickly changed into her cosplay outfit, intending to teleport directly to the alleyway of the Adventurer's Guild where she frequently teleports.
However, after the teleportation scroll was activated, Iri found herself still in the same spot.
Hmm? A Original Place teleportation? What the hell is this? Did the teleportation fail? That's impossible, right?
The teleportation scroll in my hand had disappeared, indicating that the magic had been activated. So why did I flash in place?
Uh... thinking about it carefully, since E-Rantel is now the Capital of the Magic Kingdom, given Ainz's cautious nature, he must have set up many anti-teleportation barriers within the city!
This is a bit troublesome. I don't know if the places I can teleport to are within the covered range, and I can't test it, as that would waste scrolls. So, I can only teleport outside E-Rantel.
No choice, I have to walk there. It's not far anyway, just a few minutes' walk.
When Iri reached outside the E-Rantel city gate, she saw the Death Knight and Undead Archmage guarding the entrance from a distance.
However, there were hardly any people entering or exiting the city gate, a huge difference compared to the bustling situation before. After all, normal soldiers used to guard there, but now it's a Death Knight.
This speaks volumes. After the Magic Kingdom was established, who from outside E-Rantel would dare to come here? And behind this, there must be the Church and Theocracy's fault, slandering the Magic Kingdom behind its back without any cost, right?
After all, everyone knew about Ainz's massacre on Katz Plains earlier.
Thinking of this, Iri could only sigh softly, then confidently walked towards the city gate, and was promptly stopped by the Death Knight. However, the way it stopped her was quite imposing, directly raising its flame-shaped sword to block her path, and then the Undead Archmage behind floated over, as the Death Knight cannot speak.
"Traveler, this is E-Rantel, a city of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom. If you wish to enter the city, please state your identity," the Undead Archmage said to Iri.
Indeed, wearing Evil-Crushing Lolita's mask, I didn't look like someone benevolent. It's normal to be questioned. Even ordinary merchants and farmers are checked when entering the city, right? So, let alone a strange person wearing a mask.
"Identity? Of course, but after I state my identity, I, as a princess of Nazarick, command you not to spread a word!" Iri said, while slightly taking off her mask, revealing only half of her face.
As the mask that concealed her aura was removed, the Undead Archmage immediately understood Iri's identity, and quickly made way.
