Ep 7. Wise King of Forest

In episode 7 of Overlord season 1, titled "Wise King of the Forest," Ainz Ooal Gown and his companions continue their quest to explore and conquer the New World. Their journey takes them to the Great Forest of Tob, where they encounter the Wise King of the Forest, an enigmatic creature who rules over the animals and magical beasts that reside within its domain.

As the group approaches the king's lair, they are met with resistance from a group of forest guardians who refuse to let them pass. Ainz attempts to negotiate with them, but his efforts are unsuccessful, and he is forced to fight them in order to advance. However, the Wise King of the Forest soon intervenes and puts an end to the violence, revealing himself to be a just and wise leader who seeks to maintain the balance of power and protect his subjects.

Ainz is impressed by the king's strength and intelligence, and he decides to speak with him one on one in order to learn more about the forest and its inhabitants. During their conversation, Ainz discovers that the king has a deep respect for all living creatures, and he believes that they all have a place in the world. He also reveals that he has been observing Ainz and his group, and he is pleased to see that they share his values and are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

As the two leaders speak, they are interrupted by a group of adventurers who have come to the forest in search of treasure. The Wise King of the Forest warns them to leave, but they refuse to listen, and they begin to attack the animals and magical beasts. Ainz and his companions quickly join the battle, and they succeed in defeating the adventurers, ensuring that the balance of power in the forest remains intact.

As the episode draws to a close, Ainz and the Wise King of the Forest bid each other farewell, with Ainz promising to return one day to explore more of the forest and learn from its wise ruler. The episode serves as a reminder that even in a world filled with war and chaos, there are still creatures who seek to maintain the balance of power and protect the innocent, and that sometimes, the greatest treasures can be found in the wisdom and leadership of those who rule over us.
