That abyss-like gap did not crush his confidence; on the contrary, that sword gave him more encouragement and allowed him to see more possibilities, seeing another towering mountain in humanity.

That's why he made up his mind to chase after them here and wait for a long time.

Although I knew in my heart that there was little chance, I still held onto a sliver of hope.

But when Brian saw that Roya hadn't said anything, his hopes were dashed.

However, in the end, he heard what he wanted to hear.

Brian's eyes lit up; it was hard to imagine that a middle-aged man could show such an expression.

He tried to reach out and hold Roya's hand, but Roya dodged him again.

With a serious and expressionless face, Roya said to Brian, "However, for the next period, well, let's make an agreement: for the next year, you must obey my orders. Can you accept that?"

Brian's initial excitement subsided slightly. Roya could see the hesitation in Brian's eyes, so he said directly, "I won't ask you to do anything immoral. Well, probably. Anyway, you only have one chance. Can you accept that?"

Royal's pale golden eyes stared intently at Brian, his expression indifferent.

In fact, Roya did this not on a whim, but because he felt that Brian was an excellent martial arts prodigy.

Logically, Brian will definitely get involved in the upcoming plot, and I can follow the clues to see what's really going on with Ainz Ooal Gown.

Luo Ya also had a bold idea in his mind. Logically speaking, Luo Ya, who had reaped so many benefits, should stop now.

But Roya's gaze was already fixed on Ainz's secret stash of money.

The thought of those powerful items from the original story made Roya tempted to pack up Ainz's little treasure chest and take it with him.

Of course, the other side will certainly not let Roya get what he wants, and a great battle will inevitably break out between the two sides in the end.

However, after considering his own strength and comparing the gap between the two sides, Luo Ya felt that the problem shouldn't be too big.

Although Ainz Ooal Gown is indeed powerful and possesses numerous premium items, Roya feels that he still has a high chance of winning in a real fight.

At the very least, they could break through the old man's defenses and extort a beating.

But before that, let's get rid of those eyesores first.

Roya does not intend to bring about a large-scale change to the world. His energy is limited. Although his standing is high, standing is standing, and this cannot help Roya completely change the world.

However, as mentioned before, he didn't mind taking out a rag and gently wiping away the filth in front of him.

And Brian is the piece of cloth in his hand.

Luo Ya's gaze fell on the mature-looking middle-aged man in front of him, who was still looking respectful and holding a bunch of props in his hands.

Chapter 430 The Miscellaneous Disciple?

Luo Ya smiled and casually said, "You can keep the props for now. There aren't many of these props that you'd like to use."

Brian blushed immediately, feeling somewhat ashamed.

The young man's words were like a silent mockery, piercing his heart deeply.

However, the fact that Roya agreed to his request is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master!"

Brian made a gesture as if to bow, but was stopped by Roya.

“I never said I wanted to take you on as my apprentice. You’re not qualified yet.”

Brian looked at Roya expectantly and asked, "Then, what is my status?"

"You? A menial servant? Or perhaps a disciple in name only?"

Luo Ya hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.

Brian, somewhat unwilling to give up, pressed on, "Do you have any disciples?"

In Brian's opinion, Roya is highly skilled, but he may not have any disciples, since Roya looks too young.

However, to Brian's surprise, the young man answered the question almost without thinking: "Of course there is."

"Our sect is roughly divided into several categories: miscellaneous disciples, registered disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and elite disciples. Of course, above the elite, there are true disciples."

Brian was stunned and speechless. He was not surprised for long before he realized the meaning of the two words in Luo Ya's name.

"'Sect'?"

With a spirit of eagerness to learn and ask questions when he didn't understand, Brian asked directly, "Master, you're not all alone, are you? I've always assumed you were all by yourself since I didn't see anyone else around you."

Roya rolled his eyes at Brian. Although he told Brian not to call him "master," Brian seemed determined to stay and not leave.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I am the leader of a sect, and in my sect, I am the strongest, known as the 'Sword God'."

When Luo Ya mentioned this title, he couldn't help but feel proud.

The title of "Sword God" is not something anyone can just claim.

To reach god-like status in a particular field is enough to be called a "god".

The word "god" proves that he has forged a path in this field and become a pioneer.

Brian listened with great interest, and seeing the unprecedented pride and confidence on Roya's face, he subconsciously asked, "Sword God? I heard that you are a high-level sorcerer chanter, Master?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Luo Ya nodded slightly.

Brian then followed up, "Wouldn't it be better to specialize in one thing? Won't that distract you, Master?"

It was that age-old question again. Roya immediately saw what Brian wanted to ask and said directly, "That's true. Specializing in one thing is naturally the best. Besides, most people in this world don't necessarily have the talent for magic. Don't be too ambitious. Just practice your sword skills diligently."

"You can only be considered successful if you cultivate your Tiger Fall Flute to my level."

Roya reached out and a long sword appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

The longsword is ancient and exudes an aura of vicissitudes, with a strangely curved blade.

Throat flute.

It means to be fatal upon contact with blood.

The moment the longsword appeared in Roya's hand, Brian's eyes were immediately drawn to the throat flute.

Although the sword was not yet drawn, Brian could already sense its extraordinary nature.

Luo Ya gripped the sword hilt in his right hand with a casual posture, but the next moment, a silent slash descended, splitting the air and drawing a beautiful arc.

The throat flute was casually slashed by Roya, and it had already reached the point of being completely silent.

Brian stared wide-eyed. This time, he didn't activate his domain and had no way of seeing how Roya made his move.

"Well, with a strike of this caliber, I suppose you're qualified to be my apprentice."

Roya inserted the throat flute into its sheath and tossed it to Brian.

Brian instinctively took the sword with both hands. The ancient longsword looked slender and long, but once you actually held it, you would find that the sword was surprisingly heavy and not as light as it looked.

Brian looked at Roya with a questioning gaze, and Roya shrugged and said, "Since you're a handyman disciple now, you can hold this sword for me. Oh, its name is Throat Flute."

In fact, Roya had wanted to find a sword attendant before, and of course, Roya's ideal sword attendant had to be a beautiful woman.

Roya's requirements for those who serve as swordsmen are very lenient.

She can be a mature woman, a cute little girl, someone with a cold and aloof demeanor, or someone as passionate and open-minded as fire.

Roya didn't have many requirements in this regard.

However, he hadn't considered men, especially older men like Brian, who were not in Roya's expectations.

It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people, but since I have chosen to have Brian by my side, I will let him play this role for the time being, since it won't last too long anyway.

"So, what should we do next, Master?" Brian asked, holding his sword with both hands and looking at Roya with expectant eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya slowly said, "Let's go to the guild and see what quests they have."

After saying that, Roya took the lead and walked towards the guild.

The guilds in the capital are relatively more serious, and few adventurers inside shout and make a ruckus. Compared to the adventurer guilds outside, they lack a lively atmosphere.

However, when Roya appeared at the guild, the already quiet guild became even more deathly silent.

Roya's eyes swept over the commissions, but there were no tasks he wanted to take. His gaze quickly swept over the list of tasks on the task board, which contained a wide variety of tasks, most of which were for serving as bodyguards for nobles.

Luo Ya glanced at it casually and immediately lost interest.

However, before Luo Ya could take a few more glances, a loud voice came from behind him.

"Hey, look what we've seen!"

It was a completely androgynous female voice. Luo Ya knew without even thinking who it was who would speak to him so casually at this moment.

Roya turned around expressionlessly and saw a 'strong man' wearing armor and with a burly and robust body.

Roya glanced at the other party expressionlessly. Of course, the other party was not just Gegran alone. Behind her were three unfamiliar faces, including the short, cute girl she had met once before.

This lineup surprised Roya, who asked with interest, "Hmm, I didn't expect you all to be here."

The relationship between the two was not very deep. Although they were both adamantite-level adventurers, they had not met many times.

Geglin stepped forward nonchalantly, her gaze sweeping over Brian standing behind Roya, and she said with a hint of surprise, "Brian, what are you doing here?"

Gerglin's gaze first swept over the longsword in Brian's hand. There was no doubt that this longsword was not the type that Brian liked to use.
