It's said that the guild base of the 8 Greed Kings is guarded by powerful
beings which I'm assuming are NPC's. If Ainz gets the guild weapon, could he
obtain the loyalty of those NPC's?

If destroying the guild weapon destroys the guild, what would happen to the
NPC's? In Yggdrasil I'm assuming they'd disappear, but in the new world I'm
assuming they'd just be without a master and free to do as they wished, right?

In Overlord, if Ainz obtained the guild weapon of the 8 Greed Kings, would he be able to control the NPC's?


We (the community) are not sure if the "powerful beings" are actually NPC's.  
As you said, we guess they are, but they could also be many other things. New
Worlders, golems, or who knows what. PDL (platinum dragon lord) can use wild
magic and has created some pretty impossible things according to Yggdrasil
rules, so that leave a lot of unknowns.

You are correct about if the guild weapon is destroyed, it destroys the guild.
At least that is what's in the LNs, but we never saw an example of this in
Yggdrasil. My personal guess was that you could destroy the guild, then take
it over and create new NPC's. It would be sort of a letdown if you capture a
guild and your stuck with someone else's npcs. There is probably a way to
delete them and gain your guild's NPC levels back. Each guild has a set number
of NPC levels, so they are very important to use them wisely.

However... the new world isn't Yggdrasil. The magic and mechanics are very
similar, but there are some strange differences. A great example of this is
Ainz's death knights. If he uses a corpse they last forever, which wasn't
possible in the game. These changes could potentially create unknowns. Maybe
the NPC's will automatically disappear, maybe ainz has to kill them... maybe
there isn't a way to get the NPC's levels back. Maybe it will reprogram them
to follow Ainz, or they will become their own beings and be broken from the
NPC system of the guild.

There are so many unknowns that it is really hard to say how it might work. We
don't even know if Ainz can create NPC's in the New World. Ainz mentions it
requires a dev kit... but would it even work? Man it's a tough question.

I've been hoping that the author writes about Ainz taking over the 8 greed
kings base. I think this could answer a lot of questions we have.

  * Can ainz take it over?
  * Can he move it?
  * Can he create NPC's?
  * Could he transfer them over to Nazarick?

It endless, but maybe someday we will learn more.
