Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 22: The Bar at the Great Tomb
There is an elegantly decorated bar on the ninth floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Sometimes NPCs will come here to have a few drinks during their free time at work. The drinks are free inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The bar is managed by the deputy head chef of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, who is also one of the few production professionals in the Great Tomb. He specializes in producing beverages. The drinks he produces are not only extremely delicious but also come with various beneficial effects.

The deputy chef's real name is Crabbe, but everyone prefers to call him Pidge. He was created by the Supreme Blue Planet and is a mushroom man. He looks like a large human-shaped mushroom, and his head (the cap of the mushroom) looks like a lot of purple-red water droplets. Although he has no facial features, Pidge can actually make expressions by distorting his face, but because he is a mushroom, it is difficult to understand, and only regular customers and friends like Demiurge can understand what he means.

Originally, there weren't many customers in the bar, only a few regulars, but today it was unexpectedly lively.

Demiurge and Cocytus were both regular customers, and they also came to the bar today. Demiurge ordered a glass of "Nazarick", a ten-layer cocktail made from ten different colored liqueurs, while Cocytus ordered a glass of Polish distilled vodka. The two sat together and discussed carefully.

Shalltear also came. Previously, as the guardian with the strongest comprehensive ability in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, she was controlled by a world-class item and went to war against the Supreme One. She was then killed by the great Supreme One himself, and then resurrected by the merciful Supreme One.

Although the gentle Supreme Lord Ainz did not blame Shalltear at that time, this serious sin still made Shalltear fall into deep self-blame and hit the lowest point in her life. At that time, Peach invited Shalltear to have a drink, and soon she regretted this decision.

Shalltear has a very bad drinking habit and is an idealistic drunkard. Even though he is resistant to poison and alcohol is theoretically ineffective against him, he still starts talking nonsense and acting crazy after drinking a little, causing Peach to curse in his heart with a distorted face. Unfortunately, Shalltear doesn't know how to read the atmosphere at all.

So every time Shalltear came over, Pitch would intentionally lead Shalltear to the most remote place so that it would not disturb other guests.

The last regular customer of the tavern is Nazarick's Deputy Butler Aikurair, a birdman with the appearance of a penguin. Although he has a loud name, he is a purely logistical unit and is only responsible for cleaning the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He is completely different from the Guardian Butler Albedo.

In addition to these two regular customers, Mare and Aura also came here today.

It seems that the fact that the Supreme Being let the two of them lead the troops but were defeated had a huge impact on them.

Aura initially wanted some wine, but Pidge refused on the grounds that she was underage.

Aura was not convinced and first said that she was already eighty years old.

But Peach insisted that eighty years old was considered underage among the Dark Elves (the race of Aura and Mare), and refused to give them alcoholic beverages.

Aura then tried to prove that she was resistant to poison and that alcohol was no problem at all.

Then he was rejected by Pitch on the grounds that he was a minor.

Aura started to say that she was a class guardian and it was okay to drink a little.
But Pitch still refused because he was underage and couldn't drink.

Afterwards, Aura pulled Mare aside and gave several reasons, but they were all rejected by Peach, citing the rule from the Supreme Being that minors cannot drink alcohol.

Finally, Aura pointed at Shalltear and said angrily, "It doesn't look like an adult yet, so why can it drink?"

Pidge glanced at Shalltear. The female vampire was holding a wine glass. Her originally pale face was stained red. She was talking nonsense loudly and looked very drunk.

"No, it just looks small for now."

With a loud bang, Shalltear quickly stood up and puffed out her chest.

"I don't have a pad!"

It said it without hesitation and in a decisive tone.

Pidge ignored it and continued.

"It's actually very big, but it's not usually obvious."

"Yes, yes. That's it."

Shalltear straightened her eyes with satisfaction and scanned the bar, especially lingering on Aura's chest for a moment.

"Ah."

Shalltear chuckled and sat back down to drink with the attitude of a winner.

Although Aura didn't quite understand what was going on, it still felt provoked. It wanted to retort, but was stopped by Pidge.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, these are apple cider, come and try it."

Pitch prepared a glass of apple cider for each of Aura and Mare. Of course, the main ingredient was apple juice made from apples from the sixth floor of Nazarick. It was essentially a carbonated drink and did not contain alcohol.

The name of the sweet wine satisfied Aura, and she pulled Mare to sit aside and drank happily.

At this time, Shalltear seemed to have remembered something and shouted, "Oh, I remember a new batch of special blood came in. Give me some."

It's too loud! A bar is a place for people to relax.

Pidge's mushroom face twisted, but he still prepared a drink for Shalltear as requested. He first poured half of the fresh blood into the transparent glass goblet, then added vodka and celery juice. With his deft hands, he quickly prepared a bright red drink.

Finally, Pidge carefully placed a lemon slice on the cup.

"A glass of Bloody Mary, please enjoy."

Normally, tomato juice is used to color Bloody Mary, but this is the Great Tomb of Nazarick, where cannibals and misanthropic creatures are everywhere and are the lairs of villains, so Bloody Mary naturally has to use fresh human blood.

Previously, what Shalltear was most satisfied with was the Bloody Mary made with the blood of young and pure noble girls, but after tasting the new flavor today, she immediately praised it highly.

"It's amazing. I can feel the vitality in this blood. It's as if this blood is still flowing in the veins of its original owner. This is the blood of those people. How much is left?"

"Yes, this is the blood of those humans called Space Marines. I obtained 10 liters of blood for my research on diet."

"Very good, very good. By the way, how are the remaining two?"

"I tortured him for two whole days but he still didn't say a word. And without any consideration from Lord Ainz, I ordered his execution. The body has been brought to Lord Ainz."

"Haha, that disgusting guy Neroste must be very shocked."

The torturer of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is named Nerost Painkiller. The official name of his position is Special Intelligence Gathering Officer of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, but people usually prefer to just call him the Torturer.

Neroste is also recognized as one of the five most evil in Nazarick. No one likes it in the Great Tomb. It rarely leaves the House of Truth in the Frozen Prison on the fifth floor of Nazarick. It looks like a giant corpse in revealing clothes. Of course, if it were just this, Shalltear, who is a necrophiliac, wouldn't really care.

But it was annoying that Nerost actually wanted to snatch the favor of the Supreme Being from her, but Shalltear was happy to see Nerost suffer a loss.

"I don't know about this."

"Oh, never mind, have another drink."

Shalltear quickly finished her Bloody Mary and shouted while holding up her glass.

How rude! Why can't you learn from Demiurge and be a gentleman?

Peach's face twisted again, but unfortunately Shalltear couldn't understand it at all.

On the other side, Demiurge, who was praised as a gentleman by Pidge in his heart, also started chatting with Aura and Mare.

“Don’t blame yourself too much. Lord Ainz is so kind. He won’t be angry with you.”

“But, but, we have failed twice in a row. Will we really not disappoint Ainz-sama?”

Mare asked carefully, holding the cup with both hands.

“It’s alright. Lord Ainz is a man of foresight. His wisdom is so profound that it is beyond the comprehension of mortals like us. The arrangements that Lord Ainz has made for you are meant to train you. You just need to do your best.”

"Yes, fail and remember, then use victory to wash away the humiliation."

Cocytus also encouraged. It had the most experience in this area. When Ainz attacked the Lizardmen before, in order to test the growth potential of the NPCs, he gave Cocytus some miscellaneous troops that could theoretically win the battle and asked it to command them.

As a result, Cocytus was defeated, and he was deeply ashamed of this. Fortunately, he was soon arranged by Lord Ainz to fight against the Lizardmen himself and wash away his humiliation.

It was also because of this that Cocytus felt that he could best understand the kindness of the Supreme Lord Ainz and his expectations for the growth of the Guardians.

"Okay, we'll remember this and we'll definitely win next time!"

Aura pumped her fist.

"Sbarasi, that's it, very spirited."

Demiurge applauded Aura's determination, and then asked:
"I heard that the attack will continue tomorrow. Has the composition of the troops changed?"

"Yes, Ainz-sama has ordered that tomorrow's main attack will not be carried out by the undead, but by our servants on the sixth floor who can automatically refresh."

"Okay, then I wish you good luck in martial arts."

"May your military fortune flourish."

Demiurge and Cocytus raised their glasses together and wished Mare and Aura victory tomorrow.
