Nazarick has a strict organizational structure, with the members of the "Ainz Ooal Gown" guild at the top, known as the "Supreme Rulers".
Below are the NPCs created for guild members. The NPCs are of equal status, but they have a hierarchical relationship due to their different positions.
Below that are the monsters that automatically spawn at the stronghold, and the servants summoned by spending gold through YGGDRASIL's mercenary system. The servants' status depends on their strength or the position they are assigned.
The Guardians are among the best of the NPCs.
The guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are divided into two types.
One type is the floor guardian, who is responsible for one or more floors.
Another type is the Domain Guardian, who is responsible for protecting certain areas on each floor.
The area guardians are managed by the floor guardians and are responsible for protecting specific areas. Therefore, when guardians are mentioned in Nazarick, they usually refer to the floor guardians.
Each of them is a level 100 character in "YGGDRASIL", some of whom are even stronger than the player, including the original protagonist who is the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
In other words, at this moment, Roya was surrounded by this group of guys.
Roya's expression remained unchanged. If the other party thought they could devour him like this, they were being too naive.
The flying squirrel was also hesitant to act, not daring to make the slightest move.
Taking action would mean completely breaking ties with the other party, which would be tantamount to offending a powerful figure out of thin air, and would be a complete loss.
Moreover, judging from the opponent's composed demeanor, it's clear that they have a backup plan. When facing unknown enemies, Ainz always prioritizes caution.
Roya didn't keep them in suspense. He looked directly at the two people above him and said, "The Lord said that the extraterrestrial demons possess power and knowledge that do not exist in this world. His original plan was to kill you and take everything from you if you were too weak. But now it seems that we need to sit down and talk."
Flying Squirrel reached out his right hand and subconsciously touched his chin, only to find that he was actually covered by a helmet.
Ainz's eyes flickered as he began to think quickly. Demiurge, who was standing next to him, was about to speak, but Ainz waved his hand to stop him and interrupted him. Ainz said in a deep voice, "What do you want to trade?"
Roya's face showed a very ugly expression, and he looked at these people as if they were trash.
This scene deeply stung Demiurge, who said viciously, "If you look at us, the supreme beings, with such a despicable and vile gaze again, I will gouge your eyes out!"
To this, Roya chuckled and said, "Intruder, you really dare to say that."
Momonga waved his hand again, his voice calm and steady, and said, "Step back, Demiurge!"
"But, sir!"
"Step back, Demiurge. You've talked too much today. Also, call me the Dark Knight."
Demiurge's lips twitched, but in the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh and look intently in the direction of Roya.
The look of disgust on Roya's face faded, and he slightly raised the hand holding the staff. In the next moment, Roya himself began to float in the air.
This is his own unique flying technique.
However, his skills are far inferior to those of the Flying Mouse, because the flight principle he uses is simply to use rising air currents to counteract his own gravity and achieve the purpose of suspending himself in the air.
It can't compare to Ainz Ooal Gown's [flight].
His technique completely eliminates gravity.
Roya aligned his gaze with the two men and began to pace back and forth, saying, "I need your knowledge. Although you are extraterrestrial demons, you possess magic that does not exist in this world. I need it, and for that, we can make a deal with you."
At this point, Roya paused and continued, "As for what we trade, it can include magic, weapons, money, and information from our world—the information you need most."
Feishu's gaze darkened. To be honest, many of the things Roya mentioned were exactly what he needed right now.
Flying Squirrel is a cautious person, even excessively so in some ways.
Upon arriving in this world, his first action was not to explore the surrounding area, but to hide his Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Knowing too little about this world, Ainz tries to avoid making enemies and getting into conflicts with others as much as possible, just to be on the safe side.
Even in the game, the power he possessed was considerable. Even though he was a level 100 player with an entire NPC in the Great Tomb of Nazarick at his disposal, he did not act impulsively.
In fact, Roya caught him off guard.
Despite being extremely careful, casting a spell to hide the Great Tomb of Nazarick as soon as she emerged, she was still discovered. Moreover, the other party immediately revealed her identity. Although the term "extraterrestrial demon" was unheard of, it was clear from the sound that it was not a compliment.
Moreover, the other party dared to trespass into his territory alone, and could talk big to him and all the guardians. What does this mean?
This indicates that the opponent's strength must be exceptional, and their level is likely already at level 100 to have achieved this.
No, it won't be like that at level 100, so it would be level 200.
If the level cap in this world isn't two hundred, then three or four hundred levels are possible.
Moreover, the other party possesses information that I am unaware of, including high-level magic.
If the opponent is able to cast super-tier magic, the situation will be even worse.
Ainz, who possesses several super-level spells, knows the power of super-level spells all too well. A single super-level spell can completely sway the situation on the field, and if the opponent has a super-level spell that is unknown to him, the situation will become quite dire.
More importantly, if his so-called master were watching him and his group right now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Momonga narrowed his eyes and quietly hid his right hand in the shadows. The next moment, several items appeared on his right hand.
These items are not for combat; they are for teleportation and eliminating spatial traces.
These were all high-quality escape teleportation items given to him by the system when he spent money on in-game purchases.
As a heavy spender, he has no shortage of this type of item.
That's right, at this moment, the flying squirrel has already begun to back down.
Being cautious by nature, he would never engage in a fight without first figuring out the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
He wanted to nip all risks in the bud, and now that he had been exposed, he should leave as soon as possible.
Chapter 391 Trading
Roya looked at the silent Flying Squirrel without saying anything more, and continued to calmly watch Flying Squirrel.
After a moment of silence, Flying Squirrel said, "This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to consider it."
Luo Ya smiled meaningfully and said, "This world is not so simple, as you have probably already felt. There are many unknown things in this world, things that cannot be found out through normal channels. What do you think?"
The flying squirrel's eyes flickered. Indeed, if what Roya said was true, the convenience brought by the transaction in front of them was quite remarkable.
"Then how am I supposed to complete what you call a deal?"
"Low-level magic is useless to us. At least sixth-level magic is required to be considered a standard for trading. Of course, those with special abilities are an exception."
"If you want the secret, you'll have to give up one super-tier spell or five tier nine spells in exchange for information about this world, a world map, and information about the changing situation. I'll give you a discount and you can give me ten tier six spells in exchange."
Roya made outrageous demands, asking for an exorbitant amount. Who could have imagined that a map worth three copper coins would be worth thousands of times more in the blink of an eye? No, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe the price as tens of thousands of times.
Flying Squirrel's face darkened, but his voice remained calm as he said in a deep voice, "Too expensive, the price is far too high. You want to exchange just information about this world for ten sixth-tier spells? You're delusional."
Before he could even utter the words "wishful thinking," Luo Ya interrupted him with a sneer.
Luo Ya said directly, "You and I are both sensible people. It's true that some intelligence is quite cheap, but don't you understand, you extraterrestrial demons? It's these crucial pieces of intelligence that you need most right now."
"Sometimes, information can be sold for exorbitant prices. You've only just arrived in this world and don't know many things, so my information is quite valuable."
"Besides, is your sixth-tier magic really that rare? You should know in your heart that the so-called sixth-tier magic is something that is dispensable to both of us. The so-called sixth-tier magic is just an extra."
Flying Squirrel's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.
If the potential of this world is truly high, then the so-called sixth-tier magic is indeed just some ordinary skills, considering that he possesses nearly three hundred sixth-tier skills.
These skills aren't particularly powerful, and in high-level PvP, they're mostly used for harassment and probing.
The silence didn't last long before Ainz Ooal Gown spoke up: "No, you have to offer at least three sixth-tier spells in exchange, otherwise I'll be at a huge loss if it's just for information."
"Hmm, sixth-tier magic?" Roya fell silent.
The silence didn't last long. Roya quickly figured everything out and said, "First, you need to know that the main value lies in intelligence. You must really be lacking in intelligence, right? And I will only give you the lowest level of intelligence in exchange. Higher level intelligence will require higher bargaining chips, and I will not give any magic in exchange."
These words made Ainz Ooal Gown fall into deep thought again. In reality, both of them were overjoyed, feeling that they had made a profit.
For Momonga, the so-called sixth-tier magic is really nothing special; it's just a bonus for unlocking higher-tier skills.
To reiterate, unless it involves super-tier magic, exchanging other types of magic for information is not a big deal.
The reason for haggling was simply to prevent Roya from taking advantage of the deal.
The two quickly reached a deal. Roya randomly picked a high-level spell and threw it to Ainz Ooal Gown, then broke down part of the world's background into three parts and told Ainz Ooal Gown about one of them.
However, Roya deliberately exaggerated the combat power of this world. Ainz didn't notice the mistake in Roya's words and began to ponder.
To be honest, he wasn't sure whether Luo Ya's words were credible or not. However, Luo Ya was the only channel he could contact the outside world, so he could only speculate based on Luo Ya's words.
The deal wouldn't end so simply, and Roya continued calmly, "There's another piece of information that I'm sure you'll find interesting."
"What intelligence?" Momonga asked without changing his expression.
“The hidden forces of this world.” Roya wagged his finger, a meaningful smile on his face.
"A hidden force? Like the one behind you?" Momonga's gaze sharpened. To be honest, he really wanted to know this information.
"In exchange, I need a super-rank spell." Roya made an outrageous demand, asking for the few spells that Ainz Ooal Gown possessed without a second thought.
But this time, the flying squirrel didn't refuse; instead, it hesitated.
Roya felt that the time was right, so he added fuel to the fire, saying with a smile, "Of course, I will pay you a reward that is comparable to a ninth-tier magic."
This time, the flying squirrel didn't hesitate any longer and agreed.
