Overlord 4 Episode 4 Recap
Behind Albedo and Demiurge’s plan to conquer the world, Ainz is troubled about the future of his own people.
As part of his plan to create a utopia in the Sorcerous Kingdom, Ainz aims to proactively advertise for new adventurer recruits.
As a result, Ainz and Ainzach sneaked into the Imperial Capital, Arwintar, to begin recruiting adventurers. Ainzach, on the other hand, had a much better idea than looking for the usual adventurers found in the guild.
Ainzach suggested they infiltrate the coliseum to scout out stronger warriors, much to Ainz's delight. One of these is the Warrior King, their personal target.
Ainz happily agreed to Ainzach's proposal and agreed to meet with the Warrior King's handler to arrange a sudden match.
Ainzach was sent back to the Kingdom after arranging the meeting. Ainz then met with Fluder, whom he charged with gathering all of the Baharuth Empire's information on other countries.
As a reward for his good work, Ainz gave Fluder one of his most magical-sounding books. However, Fluder can’t even read the contents of the book. So, Ainz lends him his magical reading glass for just a short time to provide Fluder with the translations.
Following that, Ainz and Ainzach meet with Osk, the handler merchant. Surprisingly, there was a servant from the rabbit man race, which Ainz assumed came from the East.
Inside, Ainz saw a sword made up of runes. According to Osk, it was made by the rune workshop of the dwarven kingdom in the Azerlisia mountain range. Much to Ainz’s surprise, Osk knew that he was dealing with him.
Back in the coliseum, Ainz, who had successfully arranged a match with the Warrior King, was surprised to hear Jircniv cheering against him. After all, Ainz expects Jircniv to root for him now that they are allied nations. Either way, he just brushed it off and proceeded to focus on the Warrior King.
The Warrior King is a member of the troll race. He was given the name Go Gin as part of the empire's belief that the strongest warriors should only have short names. In any case, Go Gin is unlike any opponent Ainz has faced.
He was polite and had a lot of respect for Ainz. As a bet, if Ainz is defeated, Go Gin will consume him. On the contrary, if defeated, Go Gin will serve as Ainz's subordinate.
When the fight began, Ainz had the upper hand. Despite his magical limitations, Ainz was able to overpower the Warrior King by emitting negative energy. As the fight came to a close, Go Gin demanded that Ainz fight to the best of his ability, without any limitations.
Ainz defeated the Warrior King without breaking a sweat after all of his magical constraints were removed. Following the conclusion of the fight, Ainz announced to the audience his plans to establish an institution for adventurers.
Before the episode ended, Jircniv offered the Baharuth Empire as a vassal state to the Sorcerer Kingdom. Ainz, on the other hand, had no idea what Jircniv meant by a vassal state.
To avoid an awkward situation, Ainz asked Jircniv to simply send the details to his kingdom in writing.
While Ainz is completely unaware of Jircniv's traitorous plans, the Bloody Emperor becomes overly concerned about the Empire's future.
Jircniv is not only stressed by Ainz's actions, but he also makes a fool of himself in front of his constituents.
The most heinous part is that Jircniv's personal knight knows better than anyone that Ainz has no dangerous plans for the Baharuth Empire.
