First, there was that world-class item, which he was quite interested in. There were two options in front of Roya.
One option is to seize it by force, killing the victim before they can react and taking the world-class item with them.
World-class items are quite powerful. After all, a level 40+ character was able to control a level 100 Shalltear after using it, which shows how powerful this item is.
The second option is to wait out the development of the sit-in situation.
After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Luo Ya concluded that the second option was actually the best choice.
The reason is simple: if things were done according to the plot, there would be a lot of room for Roja to maneuver. Ainz has suffered such a great loss, he will certainly not swallow his anger. At this time, he can jump out and exchange information for the magic or some items he wants.
Of course, there are nuances to how you jump, so as not to arouse suspicion from the other side.
Secondly, this can also indirectly weaken the opponent's strength, although it is insignificant to Old Bones and cannot be considered a serious injury.
Finally, this world-class item wasn't as valuable as one might imagine.
While world-class items do possess abilities that are practically overpowered, the world-class item currently in front of Roya, to be honest, doesn't offer him that much help.
First of all, Luo Ya is a man and cannot wear a cheongsam. Secondly, even if he could use such a prop, who could he use it on?
Is this for the Dragon God, or for the Human God?
It's true that world-class items can control Shalltear, but they are far from enough against the two mentioned above who have entered the god-level realm and are top-tier powers.
Putting aside the fact that the Dragon God is an ally, even if Roya were to actually use this item, he estimated that it wouldn't be very effective.
The reason is simple. Leaving aside the fact that the Dragon God has reincarnated hundreds of times, possessing an excessively strong mental fortitude, unlike Shalltear, the world's strongest Dragon God wields a considerable amount of magic, which inevitably includes mental defenses.
A dragon god is impossible; a human god would be even more unlikely.
This guy has lived since ancient times and is most skilled at using schemes and tricks. Although his main body is sealed in the world of nothingness, his combat power is still quite remarkable.
Not only that, he also possesses divine power. If he could use this item to control the other party, Roya wouldn't have to worry about the matter of gods and humans anymore.
Chapter 407 Take action!
In short, this item is better than nothing, at least for Roya at this stage.
If you're only after the fact that the item is a world-class item, then there's absolutely no need to do this.
Conversely, if left unchecked, Roya could reap considerable profits from it.
First, there's the intelligence. Roja can use the intelligence to blackmail Ainz by trying to raise the price to see if he can get a second 10th-rank magic spell. Even if he can't get a 10th-rank magic spell, he can still trade for some good items.
After figuring all this out, Roya's eyes brightened, and he quickly made a decision.
By observing the situation unfold and profiting from it, they can then use one enemy to devour another, further diminishing Clementine's power.
Once I've adapted to this world, I'll deliver a devastating blow to Clementine, forcing him into battle, and then I'll learn from his experience.
If possible, Luo Ya wouldn't mind kicking a man when he's down and making a killing.
As Roya pondered, a servant knocked on the door.
Upon opening the door, the other person greeted Roya with a smile, saying, "Guest, please come down for breakfast."
Luo Ya nodded slightly, stood up, straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and then prepared to walk towards the door.
Roya had long since changed out of his original apprentice mage robes. Now, Roya wore a dark blue robe and a green shirt. He had a handsome face, a high nose, and could be described as having sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His fair skin made him appear somewhat slender in the green shirt.
Luo Ya's usual temperament is more gentle. If Luo Ya were to wear a jade pendant at his waist at this moment, it would perfectly match the ancient Chinese saying: "A gentleman is modest and gentle, as warm and refined as jade."
Although she doesn't usually say it, Luo Ya still pays quite a bit of attention to her appearance.
The attendant followed behind Roya, waiting for him to finish his breakfast before speaking: "Yesterday's events were significant. The Adventurers' Guild has some questions for you, sir. If you'd like, please don't refuse."
Luo Ya nodded slightly, wiped the corner of his mouth, and wasn't too surprised by the result.
There's really not much to say about this; a few casual words will suffice.
However, when he was actually called over, Luo Ya keenly sensed the seriousness on the other person's face.
Adventurers' Guild, Guild Master's Office.
At this moment, an eight-limbed assassin insect with a very good preservation condition was lying on the ground. When the chairman saw Roya, he first put on a friendly smile.
However, Luo Ya felt that the smile was somewhat forced.
The guild leader paced back and forth, a hint of worry in his eyes, and said, "This is a monster I've never seen before. Its bizarre appearance is enough to send chills down your spine."
At this point, the chairman looked at Roya again and said, "Then, could you tell me the whole story from beginning to end?"
Luo Ya shrugged. He didn't really want to say anything to the chairman. After all, there were many things he shouldn't know, and even if the chairman knew, what could he do? Even if he revealed all the information about the Eight-Limbed Blade Assassination Insect, could the other side defend against it?
It can only be said that the difference in strength is too great, and it is no longer something that the simple natives of this world can contend with.
Seeing Luo Ya's perfunctory attitude, the president's bitter smile deepened.
Having gleaned no useful information from Roya, he could only sigh and ask the question that concerned him most: "Um, things like this shouldn't happen again at the Golden Radiance Pavilion, right?"
As the most important landmark in this city, the Golden Shining Pavilion is naturally not to be damaged. This time, the Golden Shining Pavilion commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to investigate the cause and effect and see if the source can be resolved in order to prevent such things from happening again in the future.
Roya was fully aware of the president's thoughts, but he simply smiled faintly and said, "Well, I can't give you a definite guarantee. However, I think this situation shouldn't happen again in the future, so please don't worry."
The president's expression softened slightly. He looked at the corpse lying on the ground, then at Roya, and suddenly reached out his hand to shake Roya's hand solemnly, saying, "I'll be counting on you from now on, Lord Roya."
"Hmm, it's nothing." Roya replied casually, and after a brief conversation, Roya left the Adventurers' Guild.
Luo Ya did not rush to make a move, as it would be too conspicuous to do so during the day.
As night fell, the sky had completely darkened. Roya hovered in mid-air, and magic began to transform into waves that swept outwards from Roya in all directions.
This was just a reconnaissance tactic, and Roya quickly got the results he wanted.
A smile crept onto Roya's lips, and his figure transformed into an arrow, flying into the distance.
Deep within the cemetery stood a tall building, and Roya made no attempt to hide himself, openly hovering in mid-air.
Her blue robes stood out so brightly in the moonlight, and her pale golden eyes were like fireflies in the night. With his sharp eyes, Luo Ya noticed almost instantly that a person was hiding in the hall, and that a blonde woman was standing outside looking up.
She didn't leave. To be precise, she planned to act alone again in a day or two. She just didn't expect that someone would fly so blatantly in mid-air, especially at this time.
Clementine licked her slightly dry lips, her somewhat sickly eyes turning crazed as she scrutinized Roya. "Oh dear," she said, "little brother, aren't you afraid of running into some bad guys wandering around here so late?"
Ignoring Clementine, Roya shouted down, "The one hiding in the hall, aren't you coming out?"
However, the next moment, a stream of green liquid shot towards Roya like an arrow.
"【Strong Acid Javelin】"
Kajit, whose identity had been exposed by Roya, emerged sinisterly from behind the main hall. He held a black magic staff in his hand, the top of which was radiating a black light and covered with a viscous green liquid. Without a doubt, the person who had attacked Roya earlier was this guy.
Roya naturally wouldn't let this guy hit him; he simply tilted his head slightly, and the green beam of light was easily dodged by Roya.
Kajit wasn't too surprised that his sneak attack had failed. After all, the fact that his hiding place had been revealed meant that the other party was already on guard, so it was only natural that he was able to evade.
Roya remained suspended in mid-air, a troubled look on his face. The boy said with some difficulty, "This is not good. If my clothes get dirty, I will be quite troubled, after all, these are clothes that I made myself."
Kajit's lips twitched. He hadn't expected Roya to say such a thing, but that didn't matter. He stood behind Clementine and said to Roya in the air with a sinister look, "Since you've been discovered, there's nothing we can do but leave you here. Blame it on your bad luck."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Clementine grinning maliciously as he charged toward Roya's location.
"Damn it." Kajit cursed. He had originally planned to work with Clementine to keep Roya here.
To be honest, Kajit was also somewhat wary of Roya.
The fact that the opponent can use flight skills means that he is at least a second-stage spellcaster, and his posture clearly indicates that he is coming this way.
This gave Kajit a feeling that 'had his plan been exposed?' If he could, he would like to capture the guy in front of him alive and interrogate him.
Clementine's reckless behavior completely disrupted his plans, and now he could only follow in Clementine's footsteps.
Kajit cursed inwardly, but his staff was already raised high again, aimed at the unmoving Roya floating in mid-air, and he chanted, "[Acid Javelin]!"
Three more green beams of light transformed into streaks of light and attacked Roya, this time even faster.
These three [acid javelins] were specifically used to prevent Roya from escaping.
However, since Roya had come specifically to cause trouble for the two of them, he naturally couldn't possibly run away.
Roya lowered his eyelids. At that moment, Clementine rushed to Roya's side. She opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and sneered at Roya, "Little brother, let your sister play with you. Hmm, your face is really handsome. Can your sister study it properly? I'll start by tearing your face off."
Clementine is a warrior, someone who has already stepped into the realm of heroes, so her combat strength is naturally quite impressive, and her close combat skills are also quite remarkable. Of course, this also depends on who her opponent is.
Luo Ya was very fast. In just two or three breaths, she had already sprinted to Luo Ya's side, covering a considerable distance. As the distance got closer, the smile on her lips grew wider, as if she could see herself tearing the other person's flesh and blood off in the next moment.
Just thinking about that feeling made Clementine's blood boil and her spirits soar.
But the next moment, her smile froze.
Because a strong, powerful hand was now gripping her neck, the force almost making it hard for her to breathe.
A look of shock flashed across Clementine's eyes; she hadn't even noticed Roya's movements.
It should be noted that her five senses are far superior to others, and coupled with her keen senses, she is very good at sensing danger. Therefore, even the experts in charge of intelligence operations at the Wind and Flower Holy Scripture could not approach her without her noticing.
But at this moment, the boy in front of her suddenly disappeared from her sight, leaving her no time to react.
Being grabbed by the neck with one hand is undoubtedly a very shameful thing, but this is not the time to think about such things. After the initial shock, she did not retreat but advanced, and used both hands to grab at Luo Ya's face.
Clementine's ten fingers were encased in steel, and with her own strength, she could pierce and shatter a thick rock. Even heroes of the same caliber would not dare to take such an attack.
A sinister smile crept across her lips again. Although she didn't know how he had gotten close to her, that didn't stop him from tearing her apart.
