Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 401

Before long, the two arrived at a room that resembled a conference room. The room was not particularly luxurious. A wooden table was placed in the center of the room, and wooden chairs were arranged around the table. The arrangement was extremely simple, but it was sufficient as a temporary place for conversation.

The moment Luo Ya stepped into the room, he noticed their subtle movements.

Ainz walked at the front, followed by Narberal, his battle maid.

This position made Luo Ya sneer inwardly.

"Are they afraid I'll run away?"

Roya was clearly caught in a pincer movement.

However, Luo Ya was not too flustered. Without pausing at all, he found a spot and sat down.

Ainz chose to sit opposite Roja, and the two made eye contact.

Narberal stood behind Ainz, silent, but her eyes, fixed on Roya, flashed with a hidden killing intent.

In truth, Ainz didn't really want to face Roja head-on either.

After all, Roya's background is mysterious, and he is suspected of being backed by an extremely large organization. He would avoid contacting his opponent if he did not know anything about them.

But this time, there was really no other way.

Ainz didn't waste any time with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Regarding the unusual commotion that occurred in the northern forest last night, I would like to ask you for some advice."

Although it was supposed to be a consultation, the way the two people were acting clearly had a coercive element to it.

"Hmm, this doesn't seem like a consultation." Roya didn't seem to care at all, and even had a slight smile on his face, still looking as nonchalant as ever.

This made Ainz look at Roya with even more admiration.

He paused, toning down his forceful tone to make his words sound less aggressive: "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, what happened has given us a real headache."

As mentioned earlier, Ainz's NPCs are also divided into ranks.

One type is the NPC that can be randomly refreshed; even if that NPC dies, it can be resurrected.

These strange creatures are commonly known as "minor fish," but even so, after Roya killed a few of them, Ainz still had his eye on them.

The second type of NPC is the Guardians. These Guardians are extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary minions.

However, once these guardians are killed, they cannot be resurrected like regular enemies. Furthermore, due to various factors, Ainz develops a very special affection for the guardians.

Shalltear, as an NPC created by Peroroncino, possesses a particularly unique set of emotions.

But now, Shalltear has suddenly gone missing, how could Ainz not be shocked and furious?

Actually, if he could, Ainz wouldn't want to confront Royal directly like this.

There's no other way right now.

In response to Ainz's question, Roja remained remarkably calm, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Oh? So, you already know about that vampire being mind-controlled?"

Just as Roya uttered those words, Ainz stood up from his chair and exclaimed in a slightly trembling voice, "It really was you!"

Naberal no longer concealed the murderous intent in her eyes. She suddenly drew her longsword from her waist and attacked Roya.

"stop!"

Ainz shouted, interrupting Narberal's attack.

"But……"

Nabella wanted to make a move, but was met with Ainz's cold gaze.

“I said stop, that’s an order.”

Upon hearing this, Naberal bit her lip and reluctantly sheathed her sword.

After stabilizing the situation, Ainz took a deep breath. Even though he had transmigrated into a skeleton and didn't need to breathe, he liked to use this action to calm himself down.

Of course, when emotions become too intense, there is also a system to enforce calm and control.

"So you were indeed involved in this matter?" Ainz asked in an unusually heavy tone.

To this, Luo Ya simply smiled and said, "Isn't it precisely because you suspected me that you came to ask me this question?"

However, Ainz responded to Roya's words in a deep voice, "I only have my suspicions. After all, in my memory, only you could do something like this." He paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, you weren't at the apartment yesterday, were you?"

Luo Ya didn't show any sign of panic. The boy nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "So that's it. So this is what made you suspicious?"

Ainz's gaze remained fixed on Roya, his eyes seeming to ask why.

Why did he attack his subordinates? Why did he do such a thing?

Roya saw through Ainz's thoughts, and the boy smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, I did get involved in this, but I only fought with that vampire."

"The culprit who ultimately controlled that vampire wasn't me, or even someone from our faction."

These words, spoken in a grand and solemn manner, left Ainz speechless.

To be honest, Ainz didn't really believe that statement.

The silence didn't last long; he immediately asked his second question.

"Are you a player or not?"

Ainz was extremely nervous when he said those words.

His identity as a player is his biggest secret.

Upon first arriving in this world and witnessing all sorts of sights, he realized both the convenience and the troubles that came with being a player.

However, Roya's answer to this was also very simple.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a player of 'YGGDRASIL'."

Roya sighed with feigned regret, but anyone could sense the mockery in his voice.

Ainz's face twitched, and he suppressed the anger rising within him, saying, "You know about the game 'YGGDRASIL,' yet you say you're not a player?"

Roya smiled, shrugged, and held up a finger. Under Ainz's puzzled gaze, he slowly said, "This information requires a super-tier spell as payment."

Ainz was in a terrible mood. He stared intently at Roya and said, word by word, "You're still in the mood to talk business at a time like this?"

Roya countered with a question: "Why not talk about it? How much do you really know about this world? You're just a newcomer [player]. Some information is quite important to you."

"Take now, for example."

Naberal, standing beside him, glared at Roya with almost gritted teeth, her right hand slowly resting on the hilt of her sword at her waist, looking ready to pounce.

However, Ainz, who should have been furious, was unusually calm at this moment.

Ainz began to ponder the truthfulness of Roa's words.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Roya's words made a lot of sense.

Shalltear's setback this time was largely due to a lack of information.

Chapter 417 The Second Transaction

Seeing that Ainz remained silent, Roja knew that Ainz was already tempted.

But Ainz didn't immediately agree to Roya's conditions. Instead, he asked, "Is this information really worth a super-tier spell?"

Super-rank magic is magic that transcends the tenth rank and is a special type of magic that can be used primarily by players.

This kind of magic cannot be learned normally, even by the most advanced NPCs. Magical items like magic-sealing crystals cannot seal this level of magic. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, only players in "YGGDRASIL" who have a magic-type profession can learn this level of magic after level 70.

In other words, even in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz is the only person who can use super-tier magic normally; the other NPCs cannot use super-tier magic.

If there is no other high-level player in this world with a mage-type profession, then Ainz is the only magic caster in this world who can normally use super-tier magic.

Ainz didn't know if anyone in the world possessed super-rank magic, but there was no doubt that super-rank magic was the most valuable thing he had.

"Whether it's worth it or not, let me tell you part of it first and then you can make your own judgment."

The young man glanced at Nabella opposite him, smiled slightly, and continued, "Actually, you brought this on yourselves. Didn't I tell you before that you'd better keep a low profile? But instead, you arranged for your subordinates to cause trouble around here. What? Do you really think there are no strong people in this world?"

Luo Ya's words made the already unpleasant expressions on the two men's faces even more gloomy.

The young man, however, maintained his leisurely expression, looking as if victory was assured.

The silence didn't last long; Ainz granted Roa's request.

Roya then continued, "First, regarding the players, over the past few centuries, quite a few players have come to this world from 'YGGDRASIL,' but you are not the first batch."

Astoundingly, Roya revealed this secret the moment he opened his mouth.

"Don't think you're hiding too well and no one can find you. In fact, once you meet them, they'll know who you players are. After all, the natives of this world aren't very strong. Your strength is practically the most conspicuous proof of your player status in the eyes of those in the know."

The skull beneath the black armor gleamed with a crimson light. Ainz remained silent, continuing to listen to Roya's words.

"The reason you are called extraterrestrial demons is because you are not from this world; in your own world, you are called [players]."

"Your appearance is not a good thing for this world. The extraterrestrial demons have had a great impact on this world, especially your predecessors, who almost completely changed the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both structure and overall structure)."

"That's why we're actually quite averse to the existence of players."

At this point, Roya smiled and pointed at Ainz, saying, "After all, when someone possesses power they've never had before, no one knows what they might do, especially someone like you aliens."

"Rules, rules, nothing can be accomplished without rules. This world needs order and rules, and we do not want another entity that wants to break the order to appear."

"And what you are doing now, isn't it just trying to break the rules of the original world?"
