A good weapon is very important for an adventurer, especially someone like Brian who has practiced swordsmanship to the point of madness, even shaping himself to resemble his beloved sword.
In response to Geglin's question, Brian straightened his chest and proudly declared, "Now, I have successfully become a disciple of my master and a menial apprentice."
"A servant? A disciple?"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. It was a completely new term, but judging from the name, the person's status was unlikely to be very high.
If it were the Brian of the past, how could he so easily submit to someone else, let alone be in such a slave-like position?
But after experiencing so much, Brian's mindset was completely different from before. Brian did not feel ashamed of this identity; on the contrary, he felt a sense of pride.
This is an excellent spot to watch Roya make his move firsthand, a spot that many people dream of but can never get.
The meeting of the two teams at this moment undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. It was truly rare for two steel-level teams to collide at the same time.
The young man was dressed in a blue robe with a steel-grade adventurer's badge at his waist. He had blond hair and golden eyes, and his features were extremely handsome. Although his expression was indifferent, giving the impression of keeping people at a distance, this indifference dissipated most of its aura as soon as Roya spoke.
The group of Blue Roses all stared intently at Roya's face.
Luo Ya was already used to it and had no complaints.
Of course, even if you're used to it, being stared at like that always makes you feel uncomfortable.
Luo Ya's gaze swept over the crowd and quickly settled on a young woman standing behind him.
The woman had blonde hair and green eyes, and wore light armor. When their eyes met, the girl couldn't stand Roya's gaze and subconsciously turned her head away.
But this small action made her feel somewhat embarrassed, but Luo Ya didn't care about that.
"Lahagis, I didn't expect your whole team to be out here. Is something big about to happen?" Roya asked tentatively, trying to get more information out of her.
Lajus raised an eyebrow. After pondering for a moment, the noblewoman suddenly smiled and said, "I've seen you standing here for a while now. Are you looking to take on some commissions?"
Luo Ya nodded slightly.
Laju continued, "In that case, I have a mission here with pretty good pay. Would you like to try it?"
The members of the Azure Rose exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Eight Fingers is not weak. In fact, to some extent, the high-ranking members of the organization can form a powerful fighting force, comparable to a steel-level adventurer. Such an enemy would naturally be quite troublesome.
However, it's only a tricky situation.
The Blue Rose team can still handle this.
But Lajus's invitation to Roya to participate clearly indicates that she has other ideas.
Luo Ya, however, was less hesitant and asked directly, "Is it Eight Fingers? Are you planning to make a move against them?"
If it's like the original story, the situation here becomes much more complicated.
First, there were the flags displayed on the table, representing the members of the Eight Fingers; then came the forces from the royal capital; and finally, the personnel sent by the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
If nothing unexpected happens, Demiurge will likely be in charge of this mission.
To be honest, Demiurge's combat strength wasn't that great. Roya could easily kill him, but that would inevitably provoke retaliation, which would be a complete breakdown in relations.
However, if the other side is left unchecked, the capital will inevitably descend into chaos sooner or later.
After all, some people within the capital had defected to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. If left unchecked, how long could the capital hold out with the help of those inside and outside?
It's only a matter of time before this country is swallowed up and devoured by the other side.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya also frowned.
At that moment, a bold idea came to his mind: to kill Lana, who was known as the "Golden Princess." Although it wouldn't solve the problem once and for all, it would at least slow down the advance of Ainz Ooal Gown and his group.
But as he pondered this, even more doubts arose in Luo Ya's mind.
Luo Ya always felt that this matter was not so simple.
She had revealed a lot of information to Ainz, and Ainz knew that the murderer was from the Slane Theocracy. So, could Ainz still proceed as he did in the original story and develop things slowly and deliberately?
Moreover, he always felt that the appearance and invitation of the wild rose were too coincidental.
But to be honest, this coincidence was exactly what he wanted.
Lajus was somewhat surprised at how Roya knew, but before she could ask, Roya smiled faintly and voiced her doubts: "I can't think of anyone else who could mobilize all of you, and whose location is in the capital."
Lajus looked somewhat displeased. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that even an outsider could see the current situation. But you're right, it's true. Just to be on the safe side, I hope you can lend us a hand this time."
“No problem.” Roya readily agreed.
Having received a positive response, Lajus smiled and said, "In that case, I look forward to your future performance."
After saying that, Lahoz prepared to leave with everyone.
Brian flattered, "With Master's help, this mission will surely be a piece of cake."
In response to Brian's words, Roya simply nodded slightly and said, "This time it's not as simple as it seems on the surface; it may involve more things."
Brian asked, puzzled, "More?"
Luo Ya only touched on the topic briefly and did not reveal any further information.
Operation Blue Rose took place on the night of the second day.
As agreed, Roya brought Brian to the place he had arranged with Blue Rose.
Both sides are prepared to act together until they obtain more intelligence, and then arrange specific tasks according to the content of the intelligence.
Luo Ya didn't care. In fact, this mission to wipe out the Eight Fingers was a piece of cake for him.
Chapter 431 Annihilation
Just like in the original story, a group of people set off for the place where the six-armed man was located, intending to deal with these guys first.
Six Arms represents the highest combat strength of Eight Fingers. All members of Six Arms are comparable to Steel-level adventurers, a level that puts them on par with many others in Blue Rose.
Once these people are dealt with, the remaining members of the Eight Fingers group will be no threat.
The Eight Fingers are responsible for eight different types of activities: slave trading, assassination, smuggling, theft, drug trafficking, bodyguarding, finance, and gambling. These activities are numerous and encompass almost the entire underworld. As a result, their structure is relatively decentralized. Apart from some necessary matters, each person is in charge of their own affairs. This time, the intelligence indicates that the Eight Fingers have as many as six strongholds.
The first place that Blue Rose and her group went to was the place where the six arms gathered, intending to deal with these people first.
The plan went very smoothly, with no unexpected surprises.
On a dark and windy night, Luo Ya was pulled by a group of people and made to hide in a corner, peering at the tall building not far away. Everyone's face showed a solemn expression.
It was a tall and imposing building with towering walls. Not only was the building tall, but its space was also enclosed. At first glance, it did not feel like a fortress or a stronghold; it was more like a prison, a very large prison.
Lahu said in a deep voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Six Arms are inside. We should finish them off quickly and then head to the remaining strongholds to wipe out the remaining evil forces. That way, this mission will be complete."
Lajus then began to assign detailed task plans, but Roya didn't listen to what she was saying. He frowned slightly, looked at the prison not far away, and fell into deep thought.
Roya suddenly asked, "Laqis, is there some information about this mission that you haven't told me?"
Lahoz was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she did not understand the meaning behind Roya's words.
Roya then asked directly, "Princess Lana... is she hiding something from you?"
Lajus's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Roya, have you discovered something?"
Luo Ya glanced at everyone and nodded slightly, saying, "Luckily I came, otherwise you would all have been wiped out here."
If it were any other adventurer, they would definitely scoff and think that Roya was talking nonsense.
Because the group of people in front of them were steel-level adventurers, experts who had stepped into the realm of heroes. Even in the capital, there were only four such teams, two of which were the recently emerging Roya and Momo.
However, when the members of the Blue Rose heard what Roya said, their expressions changed and their gazes sharpened.
Lajus said, "Just say what you want to say. Is there a problem with the information? Or is the information in front of you a trap?"
Luo Ya sighed and said, "It is indeed a trap, but it's not aimed at you. Never mind, let's proceed according to plan for now. Just standing outside won't do."
Lajus whispered, "Since there's a problem, are we still going to go? Roya, didn't you think the other side had the ability to wipe us out?"
"Yes, but the BOSS inside hasn't come out yet. What's in front of us is just bait." Luo Ya said calmly, but he had already started walking towards the prison.
The members of the Blue Rose exchanged glances, all of them seeing a hint of helplessness in their expressions.
Roya has always been a mysterious figure, and people don't know much about him. However, according to their plan, they are going to take the initiative this time, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Lajus didn't want Roya to charge ahead alone. She said to Roya, "We have rogues in our team. We can have them go and test the waters first."
Lajus was referring to the Tia and Tina sisters. As thieves, reconnaissance was naturally Tia and Tina's forte. They could slip into the shadows and move around in this form.
"Whatever you want," Roya replied, then ignored Lajus.
The young man sat expressionless at the front, followed by Brian behind Roya. Brian looked nervous, holding the throat whistle with both hands; he too had been frightened by Roya's earlier words.
To be able to wipe out an entire team of Steel-level adventurers, that level of strength must be terrifying.
And able to possess the corresponding strength
Could it be that monster?
With more and more guesses forming in his mind, Brian subconsciously swallowed and fixed his gaze on the young man in a blue robe standing at the front.
"Brian, give me the sword."
Roya's words interrupted Brian's thoughts, and he subconsciously handed the longsword he had been preparing to Roya.
Roya took the throat whistle, glanced at the group behind him, and said, "We've been discovered. There's probably some kind of life-sensing magic or magical artifact set up around here. We were discovered the moment we stepped into the vicinity."
