Meanwhile somewhere else in Re-Estize...

Gazef, at the moment, was fixing his royal armor, even though he had his new armor, he would often use his old gear to get a sense of being normal. As a head knight, he wanted to test his actual body with no magical enhancements, but...

Gazef looked at his magical armor that was on display on a rack, [i really enjoy using it. I feel better and safer.]

He would usually wear the armor during work guarding the king, at first everyone was shocked when he wore something different. Some people wondered if he spent all his money on new armor while others looked at him with eyes of admiration, those that disliked him gave him stares of envy and jealousy. King Ranposa was also astonished, he asked him where he obtained such amazing armor, and Gazef told him some of the truth while intentionally keeping some things hidden. He explained to him that on his day off, he went exploring somewhere far into The Great Forest of Tob and found a dungeon which led to a hidden Tomb, within the tomb stood this armor waiting for a worthy challenger. 

The king was astonished that his head knight was so lucky to find a tomb with such an item, Ramposa was entranced by his tale, he felt like a child hearing stories of legendary heroes and their astounding deeds. 

Gazef retold him the entire fight and how won and earned the qualifications to wear the armor, he explained how the armor was enchanted with healing properties. The King was even more amazed, to find such an incredible relic was like a dream for any adventurer, it was amazing Gazef found it. The king didn't hesitate to let Gazef wear his armor while guarding him, in fact, he wanted him to wear it more often so that he could be well protected in case anything happened. 

Rumors then spread of Gazef Stronoff, the head knight, finding a magical armor on his day off. His soldiers would praise him whenever they could and even asked him to tell them the story of how he found it while drinking at the taverns. 

Gazeff smiled, "People really enjoyed my story, hope they don't exaggerate it when telling it to others." He had worn his regular armor the previous day because his enchanted armor was cleaned and he didn't want to dirty it after cleaning. After the day was over he sparred with a soldier and received a dent in his chest, even though it was small, he didn't like seeing his armor in a bad state.

Gazef recalled his encounters with The Guardian, he remembered his words, that if he chose to ignore the problems in his country for his loyalty to his king, his country would fall and thousands would be killed. 

Gazef stopped his hand and frowned, he loved his country and his king, but he didn't want to betray one or the other. The Guardian told him that Ainz Ooal Gown was his only chance to save the ones he cared for and the people in the country. 

Gazef sighed, "I guess I only have one choice, I have to find Lord Ainz and request his help." Now there was a new problem, Gazef had to find some way to contact him.

Back with Sebas...

Sebas had returned to the mansion with the woman he had seen earlier, the man who was her employer stated he was connected with the underworld of the capital, Eight Fingers, and that they would come for himself and the woman. 

Sebas could care less and decided to deal with them later if anything occurred, he returned to the mansion wanting to heal her before she died. 

Once he entered the building he noticed Solution standing by waiting for him.

"Welcome back Lord Sebas, how-", Solution stopped her words when she saw what was in Seba's arms, "if I may ask, what the hell is that?"

"I found her", Sebas said without caring to explain in detail.
