I think that holding open talks would be the worst thing empire can do. Sudden trade and diplomatic talks with neighboring countries would be suspicious as hell. And this is a word that has remote surveillance magic. Even if the emperor doesn’t have proof it is not much of a stretch to think that Ainz, an uber powerful magic caster can circumvent any defensive measures. Such talks would be observed by Nazaric and doomed to fail. The method emperor went with technically worked. Nazaric is generally aware the empire is going to try to make alliances but they didn’t know about these talks taking place. It was just blind luck Ainz showed up.

As for Mare, true they need to gather information on Ainz subordinates but they have no info on any of them. They have to start somewhere and they chose Mare because of the emperor’s first impression of him. They will prioritize getting information on Mare but it doesn’t mean they won’t try to investigate the rest. They certainly would like to get as much information on Nazaric as possible but it’s hard to do. Nazaric itself is closed to the outside world and it’s impossible to introduce spies. The information for E – Rental is unreliable. It is sketchy and what is happening there only shows that Ainz is not going to kill everyone immediately. It shows nothing about his future plans or what might be going on in the shadows. Ainz would need to rule E –Rental as a just ruler for much longer than a few months or save the humans from even bigger threat before the people would start to trust him.

The stuff with Go Gin and adventurers just happened. It does make sense to make contact them in the future.

They do know how the denizens of Nazaric feel about humans (at least the ones they met in the throne room). It’s not that the humans were paranoid. The aura of evil and malice is a real thing in this world. And for the entire human history these types of creatures regarded humans as food.

Ainz did take delight in the dark young spell. He ordered the deaths of the humans (after the first 70000) for no particular reason. At the end he demanded ovations from the clearly traumatized imperial solders. I’d say that is some psychopathic behavior.

I feel this discussion has run its course. We are just repeating the same arguments. Let’s just agree to disagree. Cheers
