"This is the secret of our existence. It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
The negotiation time lasted for a long time. Roa revealed most of the information he knew about this world. Of course, this was all some basic information that could be found out with a little investigation.
And the only price Roa paid was two Water Saint-level magic spells, as well as five high-level magic spells and the so-called non-existent Soul Hall. However, Roa had learned a full hundred magic spells from Ainz.
One hundred magic spells.
This was the limit Roa could squeeze, and it was also the limit of the current transaction.
However, there was still a long time to come, and there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with each other in the future, so Roa didn't feel any urgency in his heart.
The transaction was very pleasant, and these skills involved all aspects, largely making up for Roa's shortcomings.
A smile appeared on the corner of Roa's mouth, and he nodded to Ainz: "This transaction is quite satisfactory, I like it very much. This magic knowledge is very valuable for research for us."
Speaking of this, Roa paused and continued, "Well then, let's say goodbye. Seeing as this transaction was so pleasant, let me remind you a little bit. Don't go too far in this world, otherwise you will be like the Six Gods, the Eight Greed Kings, and these guys, buried in the dust of history."
When Roa said this, he glanced at Ainz meaningfully, and then his whole body turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot, leaving Ainz with a pensive expression.
The content of the two people's magic transaction was very simple. Roa simply had Ainz perform the magic spell once, feeling the power of the law in it. Roa imitated it, and with his own talent, he quickly memorized the magic spells in his mind.
Sword Heart and Transparent World almost allowed him to see every detail of Ainz's magic performance clearly, and mastering these skills was not a difficult task.
As for the magic of the world of Mushoku Tensei, it was also very simple. If there were no problems with his own magic power control, as long as he could fully chant that incantation, he could complete the spell.
Looking at Roa, who had already disappeared into the sky, Ainz's red gaze flickered, considering how to face him in the future.
At this time, Demiurge finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Why didn't you keep him?"
Demiurge lowered his voice, but couldn't hide the malice in it, and said, "If we work together, we will definitely be able to kill him, right?"
Regarding Demiurge's words, Ainz smiled indifferently and said, "Demiurge, don't you understand? Our opponent now is not just him, but also the force behind him."
Speaking of this, Ainz paused and continued: "Besides, Demiurge, can you keep him?"
However, before Demiurge could speak this time, a voice preemptively answered: "As long as the Supreme Being orders it, we Guardians will definitely be able to capture that human."
As the voice fell, figures appeared around Ainz, many heteromorphs, lurking in the shadows, the Guardians who might strike like poisonous snakes finally revealed their fangs at this moment.
Especially the leaders, each of them exuded an aura no less than Demiurge's.
Among them, there was a peerless beauty with a gentle smile, a curvaceous figure, a pair of dark wings on her back, and an extremely outstanding appearance.
There was a princess girl holding a parasol, wearing a black evening dress, a short open-front jacket decorated with lace and ribbons, and long lace gloves.
There were an elf boy and girl with heterochromatic eyes and long ears.
Seeing the appearance of these people, Ainz's expression softened. Ainz looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said: "Albedo, Shalltear, Aura, and Mare?"
The woman with a perfect and elegant appearance was Ainz's assistant, the general manager of the Guardians, and the NPC with the highest position in the Great Tomb of Nazarick - Albedo.
The princess girl holding a parasol, wearing a black evening dress, with silver hair and wine-red eyes was the Guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick - Shalltear Bloodfallen.
The twin dark elf siblings with heterochromatic eyes and pointed ears were the Guardians of the sixth floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick - Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiore.
These people were all high-level NPCs who had reached level 100, and were also the highest combat power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
"So it's the four of you who came?"
Ainz said: "Where are Cocytus and Sebas?"
Albedo bowed, took a step forward, revealing a wide chest, and said: "Lord Ainz, they are all in Nazarick and are responsible for staying behind. After all, we have to keep a few of the highest combat power in Nazarick. Please forgive them for not being able to come and protect you."
Ainz nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, Albedo, you did well. They are all top combat power in Nazarick and should not be dispatched easily."
Albedo's cheeks flushed, and Albedo's eyes showed excitement, as if being praised so simply was an extremely glorious thing.
Albedo took advantage of the heat and said: "Lord Ainz, do you need me to catch that person?"
Regarding Albedo's request, Ainz shook his head and said: "Forget it, since we have been discovered, it's unavoidable. We can't offend such a powerful force for nothing, and the other party hasn't shown any obvious malice. Let's go back and sort out the information we just got."
Everyone lowered their heads and respectfully shouted: "Yes."
…
Roa didn't know that after he left, the other party still had designs on him.
However, even if he knew, he would probably just chuckle a few times.
The transaction time was quite long, and it was late at night when Roa returned.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with distant constellations twinkling.
Roa began to consider the magic he had obtained.
Ainz was very cautious, not willing to reveal even one spell related to necromancy.
As for the even more game-breaking resurrection magic, he didn't even mention it, only talking about some skills that he considered common and not particularly useful.
In Roa's opinion, only a dozen or so were useful.
Among them, the most valuable was the super-tier magic.
Thinking of this, Roa stretched out his hand, compressing his magic power continuously, then suddenly releasing it.
"The end is now."
Roa waved his right hand slightly, and with just that wave, he slashed out an invisible blade of light, cutting open the space beside him.
That's right, with his casual strike, Roa actually severed space.
It wasn't a figure of speech, but he really cut open space itself, causing the space to appear skewed, like neatly cut glass.
In "YGGDRASIL", if one held the strongest warrior-type class, "World Champion", then at the highest level, they would learn a final special skill evaluated as super-dreadnought class - Reality Slash.
Of course, the Reality Slash in Ainz' hands was not the original version, but a weakened version. The power, naturally, could not be compared with the original.
However, even so, this degraded version of Reality Slash, a tenth-tier magic that could cut space, was a type with top-notch killing power and destructive power among tenth-tier magic.
This undoubtedly maxed out the armor-breaking ability. However, the key wasn't really in the Reality Slash magic itself, but in the inspiration it gave Roa.
Through this magic, Roa had vaguely touched upon the laws of space. If he could completely master this magic, and truly comprehend the laws of space, then with the superposition of Moment and Time Zero, would Roa be able to swing a sword that could kill space-time?
Crossing space, tracing time, killing the present and the future, all he needed was to gaze at the enemy in front of him, have a medium, and he could instantly kill the opponent across thousands of distances.
And the opponent would have no power to resist.
Thinking of this, Roa's eyes became even more fiery.
Space-time, the two most difficult laws to master in this world were the power of time and the power of space. If he really achieved this step, then even in these countless worlds, Roa could be called a powerhouse, a powerhouse in the literal sense.
Taking a deep breath, excluding the thoughts in his mind, Roa began to cast Reality Slash to feel its advantages and disadvantages.
However, in just a moment, Roa realized the power of super-tier magic.
It didn't need incantation.
No, to be precise, all tier magic didn't need incantation.
Contrary to the world of Mushoku Tensei, the more powerful the magic, the less incantation it needed.
They didn't have long spells, nor did they have complicated conditions for use. As long as the magic power was sufficient, the magic could be released with just a magic name.
Their activation time was infinitely close to zero, and could be called quick-attack magic or instant magic.
Even the highest-tier tenth-tier magic was like this.
Roa's eyes narrowed slightly. No wonder the other party had clearly shown surprise when he handed over the two Water Saint-level magic spells.
The problem was here.
In that case, it was more troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, Roa didn't continue to think deeply about this question, but used other magic spells.
First was [Flight].
In the next moment, a faint blue light completely enveloped Roa, and Roa's entire body soared into the air, hovering in mid-air.
Gravity disappeared, and Roa could completely change his position at will according to his own will. It was a strange feeling.
Roa hovered in mid-air, and with a thought, Roa appeared a hundred meters away.
This was also one of the skills Roa had learned, called [Dimension Move].
Teleportation magic, instant movement, the magic power consumed increased with the distance moved.
This kind of skill, although the tier was relatively low, was quite useful magic.
It was only the third tier, but it could achieve the effect of a flash, and it could achieve unexpected effects for Roa, who was particularly good at melee combat.
Of course, Dimension Move also had great limitations.
That was that there was a limit to its moving distance, and the magic itself could not exceed this limit.
And if he wanted to cross a long distance, for example, from one end of the world to the other, he would have to use a higher-level substitute.
That was [Gate].
The highest-level teleportation magic, Gate, had no distance limit and a zero teleportation failure rate, but Ainz didn't take out this kind of magic either.
Ainz wouldn't easily teach many practical magic spells to Roa.
But even so, in these nearly a hundred magic spells, Roa still mastered many very good magic spells.
[All Appraisal Magic Item]
[Greater Magic Seal]
[Create Greater Item]
[Greater Break Item]
[Magic World Holy]
The above were just a part of dozens of sixth-tier magic spells and above.
Among them, Roa was most optimistic about [Create Greater Item].
As long as the caster injected the corresponding magic power, they could create quite good weapons. Although these weapons could not be compared with the main weapon, they were quite good as a lower-level substitute.
Moreover, this manufacturing method had no restrictions. It didn't need a medium. As long as Roa moved his mind, he could form this kind of weapon.
Roa stretched out his left hand, injected magic power into his palm, and with a thought, in the next moment, a long sword with a snow-white blade appeared in Roa's left palm.
The blade was narrow and slender, and the sword was three feet long, belonging to the rapier range.
Roa stretched out his right hand, placed it on the blade, and began to gradually increase the force.
After three breaths, the bent sword was subsequently thrown on the ground by Roa.
The hardness was okay, and the quality was also not bad. Although it didn't have any special abilities, the advantage was that it didn't take much time to manufacture this kind of weapon at all.
This weapon was not as good as Howl, but the quality was better than Paul's broken sword.
The level was probably at the level of a normal Sword Saint's weapon.
Not bad, if he sold it, he could easily become a rich man.
This transaction was indeed good, and it had made up for Roa's shortcomings in various aspects.
Of course, this was just one transaction, and there would be a second and a third in the future.
In the end, Roa could even try to make a move, forcing Ainz to reveal more of his trump cards, so as to steal the teacher and directly steal the other party's magic.
Roa had been coveting Ainz' ninth-tier magic [Grasp Heart] for a long time.
This kind of magic was a real killer for ordinary people, of course, only limited to ordinary people.
In short, this trip was a good harvest.
Roa ran towards the direction he came from, but in the next moment, Roa's footsteps stopped.
Because he felt that someone had touched his magic barrier.
