Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 388

The guy in front of them had risen to a level they could only dream of in their entire lives with just one mission. How could this not make them feel uncomfortable?

Even though the other party was the one who rescued the war captain, they still felt somewhat resentful.

It's important to know that in the fortress city of Ye Lantil, the highest-ranking adventurer is Mithril-class.

Adventurers of the Orichalcum and Steel classes are rare and have a wide range of activities, so they generally don't stay in one city.

In a country where Orichalcos and Stainless Steel grades don't exist, Roya's move can only be described as a meteoric rise.

Being so eye-catching naturally attracted the covetous eyes of many.

Naturally, this led to many adventurers coming to cause trouble for Roya. These adventurers would come under various pretenses, challenging Roya or simply stirring up trouble at will. They would only behave themselves after being beaten up by Roya.

As usual, two young adventurers sitting in the Adventurers' Guild were discussing current hot topics.

"Oh, by the way, what was that mithril-class adventurer's name again?"

"I think his name was something like Roya Greirat?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure dressed in black armor appeared beside the two.

"What did you say that person's name was? Roya Greirat?"

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out, and the two men turned around with a start, only to see a burly warrior clad in full black armor, completely concealing his head, hands, and feet, making it impossible to discern his features.

Not only that, the warrior also had a very flashy red cloak hanging behind his full suit of armor, and two exaggeratedly large greatswords could be seen under the cloak. Just one glance was enough to intimidate the two adventurers.

This warrior is none other than Ainz Ooal Gown, also known as Hokusou.

Of course, Old Bone wasn't alone on this trip. Behind him was a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a ponytail with a long whip, thick black hair, and brown eyes. The girl had delicate features, but her attitude was very cold, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Chapter 403 A Chance Encounter and a Test

She wore a dark brown robe, her skin was snow-white, and she was a beautiful woman with an exotic style.

The initial dissatisfaction in their hearts vanished at this moment. They bowed respectfully to the burly warrior, and one of the adventurers asked curiously, "Sir, do you know him?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if you're sure his name is Roya Greirat?" The burly, dark-skinned warrior calmly asked again to confirm.

The two exchanged a glance, and the adventurer who had been silent before nodded slightly and said, "That is indeed the name."

Having received confirmation, Momonga didn't linger. He said "Excuse me" and left immediately.

The woman following behind the black-clad warrior merely glanced at the two of them before turning and leaving with him.

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, the two strolled around the streets. Unable to contain herself any longer, the woman spoke first: "Ainz the Elder..."

Before he could finish speaking, the black-clad warrior waved his hand to interrupt him, saying in a deep voice, "My name now is Feifei, not the Lord Ainz you speak of."

Without a doubt, the person before him was a max-level player who had traveled from "YGGDRASIL," the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and the dark warrior who had once made a deal with Roya—Momonga.

To be precise, he is no longer called Ainz Ooal Gown, but has changed his name to the name of the guild he used to belong to in "YGGDRASIL"—as it was in the original story.

Of course, he didn't want to appear under that name now. His current alias was Feifei. Therefore, Ainz Ooal Gown said to his companion in a slightly serious tone, "I am not Ainz Ooal Gown now, and you are not Narberal Garma, the battle maid of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. You are now Nabey, Feifei's partner who has become an adventurer. Don't say anything wrong again, understand?"

Narberal lowered her head after being reprimanded by Ainz and whispered, "Yes, I'm very sorry, Lady Feifei."

"And don't call me sir. We are adventurers who have formed a partnership. In principle, we are companions, not superiors and subordinates."

"How could we be so disrespectful to the Supreme Being?"

Upon hearing this, Ainz paused for a moment before continuing, "...This is an order."

Nabella, having been spoken to like that by Ainz, had no choice but to reply, "Yes, Mr. Fei Fei."

The two spoke very softly, and did not attract the attention of those around them.

To be precise, no one would be so idle as to keep their eyes on the two of them; at most, people would just be amazed by the appearance of the man and woman.

Some adventurers were amazed by Ainz's magnificent and expensive full-body armor, while others were captivated by Narberal's beauty.

Of course, after being glared at fiercely by Nabella, the adventurers all looked away, not daring to continue watching, and their conversations became much quieter.

These adventurers could never have imagined that the people who amazed them were all non-human creatures.

They are aliens, visitors from another world with power far surpassing that of the native inhabitants of this world. To this world, they are undoubtedly invaders, beings who are very likely to become enemies in the future.

Of course, the two of them are currently acting as if they are harmless, but no one knows what the final outcome will be after Ainz fully understands the ins and outs of this world.

"The person those insects mentioned earlier, Roya Greirat, is he the one we made a deal with before?"

Naberal brought up the boy again, which was understandable, given that the boy had dared to come alone and extort money from them.

Indeed, Naberal has already determined that Roya's previous actions constituted extortion.

It turns out that the Great Tomb of Nazarick has been infiltrating this world for the past few days, no longer staying in its base for defense as before. Based on some intelligence obtained from Roya, Ainz dispatched the Guardians and some Nazarick NPCs to carry out different tasks.

Although they are visitors from another world, Ainz's Great Tomb of Nazarick also needs to develop. They need to establish good relations with the natives of this world and use this as a channel to provide Nazarick with intelligence and supplies.

Some NPCs even carried out hunting missions, secretly bringing some natives back to Nazarick for various experiments.

With this slight action, the Great Tomb of Nazarick came into considerable contact with the world.

Thanks to this, Ainz learned a great deal about the basic conditions of this world.

For example, most of the natives in this world are very weak, and the heroes who are considered strong are not even level 30 in "YGGDRASIL".

The highest level of magic that humans in this world can use is only up to the sixth rank; no one can use magic above the seventh rank.

This fact was quite shocking to Ainz, and at one point he even thought he had been tricked.

It's important to know that in "YGGDRASIL", sixth-rank magic is so weak that most players would even avoid using it to fight monsters. In leveling areas suitable for level 100 players, Ainz usually uses eighth-rank or higher magic, and magic below the sixth rank is almost never used.

This is why Ainz so readily sold off most of his magic in exchange for information and the magic of the Musou Tensei world.

Ainz was actually feeling somewhat uneasy and worried.

It's a good thing that the world isn't as strong as he imagined.

But that person, the guy named Roya Greirat, is clearly much stronger than the people in this world.

And the Soul Hall behind the other party is impossible to trace no matter how hard they try.

Although this was within Ainz's expectations, whether the Soul Palace existed or was really that powerful was still an unknown mystery to him.

But one thing is certain: the other party traded those scattered pieces of information for a large number of sixth and seventh-tier magic spells in his possession, which made Ainz feel somewhat cheated.

Although the other party offered magic comparable to a ninth-tier spell, Ainz reciprocated by offering a tenth-tier spell in exchange.

Just thinking about it made Ainz feel a pang of heartache. This deal was a huge loss, but the key was that he didn't dare not do it.

What if the Soul Palace really is behind the other side? The information we gathered earlier was very limited and consisted of the most basic intelligence.

If Luo Ya's Soul Hall truly exists, and if he wants to hide it, then with his shallow foundation since arriving in this world, it would be impossible for him to find out about this Soul Hall, which has a history of seven or eight hundred years.

In fact, Ainz had an even bolder idea regarding Roya's identity: could Roya also be a player of "YGGDRASIL"?

Too many questions lingered in Ainz's mind. He knew very little about the other party and was in a completely unfamiliar environment, so he was simply unable to make a relatively accurate judgment.

Ainz sighed as he thought about this. There was no point in thinking about it now. The deal was done, and a loss was a loss. What else could he say?

Ainz turned his gaze to the girl standing beside him and said, "Narberal, the most urgent thing now is to find out whether the other side has passed on our information."

The biggest secret Ainz currently holds is that he is an outsider.

If this matter were to be exposed by the other party, then it is likely that all the natives of this world would become his enemies.

Because he was not only an extraterrestrial visitor, but also an extraterrestrial visitor with unbelievably powerful abilities, and he was not even human.

Although Momonga used to play this game as a human, times have changed. Now, he doesn't even know whether he's a human or a skeleton.

If the information he gathered was true, and the world was full of scum, Ainz would have a different thought.

Seeing Ainz deep in thought, seemingly troubled by Roa's situation, Narberal couldn't help but ask, "Should we inform Lady Albedo to send someone over to capture this planarian?"

Ainz naturally rejected this suggestion.

"Don't act rashly. Before you figure out the forces behind him and his actual strength, you absolutely cannot make a move against him."

"Understood." Naberal nodded somewhat reluctantly.

In her opinion, how powerful could the humans in this world really be? The adventurers she encountered along the way only reinforced this thought in Narberal's mind.

How could these lowly humans possibly match the power of the Supreme Beings and their Guardians?

Even if the frail body and meager strength of humankind are used to trample, they would still defile the feet of the supreme being.

Since the supreme ruler had spoken, she couldn't disobey, so she could only silently reply that she understood and continue walking forward without saying another word.

However, they soon stopped walking.

Because a young man happened to bump into the two of them.

And that person was none other than Roya Greirat.

Looking at that unbelievably young face, Ainz's lips twitched.

To be honest, although he knew that Roya was in this town, he didn't expect to run into him so soon.

When Roya saw the two of them, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face. Then, Roya's expression turned strange.

The three of them stopped in their tracks, staring at each other, and a tense atmosphere descended upon the scene.

Luo Ya broke the silence first, but his words made both of them look rather unpleasant.
