For some reason, the two, who would have argued, actually reached a consensus at this moment.
Roya felt a pang in his teeth and could only sigh, "Go ahead and say it."
"Master, can you let us out at least twice a week?"
Luo Ya scratched his head, feeling helpless, and had no choice but to agree to their request.
However, the next moment, the three people's conversation came to an abrupt halt.
A figure emerged from the depths of the Great Tomb of Nazarick—who else could it be but Ainz?
Ainz coughed a few times, about to speak, but paused slightly when he saw the two people surrounding Roya.
His gaze turned wary, and Ainz asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Lord Roya, who are you two?"
Restia parted her teeth slightly and let out a laugh. She said, "You don't even know who killed you?"
However, before Restia could utter a few sarcastic words, Roya cut off the divine power supply and pushed Restia back down.
Restia's mutterings quickly echoed in his mind.
"That's not fair."
Ignoring Restia, Roya reached out and patted Esther's head gently, saying, "Este is a good girl. You should go back first. I'll call you when I need you."
Ainz's lips twitched at the sound of that coaxing tone, which sounded like he was talking to a child. He couldn't believe that the young man, who had previously been as cold as a god, would show such an expression.
After finally managing to coax the two elves away, Roya's expression immediately turned serious.
Roya looked at Ainz standing to the side and said in a deep voice, "Ainz, didn't I tell you? I will come to find you."
Ainz took a deep breath and replied, "Your Excellency, it's better to be merciful when possible. Why push us so hard and try to kill us all?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ya's lips curled up, and he thought to himself: They've finally taken the bait.
Roja fought Ainz not only to force Ainz to use all his tricks, but also to test Ainz's strengths and then extort money from him.
The time is ripe; it's time to start the extortion.
Roya's tone softened. The young man, gentle and refined, looked at the tall skeleton before him and said, "Ainz, I wonder what you can offer in return."
Ainz was slightly taken aback; he finally understood the purpose of Roja's visit.
The other party must have some ulterior motive, but Ainz, realizing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid that Roya wasn't greedy; on the contrary, he was afraid that Roya had no other desires and wanted to exterminate them all, just for some fabricated reason.
Chapter 441 Blackmail
Having figured everything out, Ainz asked in a deep voice, "What do you want, sir?"
"Let's make a deal."
Roya smiled, and it was this smile that made Ainz's brow twitch violently.
He had just seen that smile not long ago.
"There are no eternal enemies in this world, are there? I can promise you that I will give up attacking you today, and I can even promise you that I will never be your enemy again. As for your future development, it has nothing to do with me or the power behind me, as long as you can give me what I want."
Ainz's eyes flickered. The anger he felt at the collapse of the Great Tomb of Nazarick slowly dissipated, and he became surprisingly calm.
"How can I trust you?"
Faced with Ainz's question, Roja simply smiled calmly and said, "You can only trust me, can't you?"
After a moment of silence, Ainz spoke up: "Let's talk about the conditions first."
“Okay, I want the world-class items you have. I know you possess a total of eleven world-class items.”
Ainz sighed inwardly; this was indeed what Roja wanted.
A world-class item, how powerful is it?
It is naturally very powerful, and some world-class items are even considered unfair. Only such items would be of interest to the young man in front of him.
However, even if Roya said that, he couldn't just hand over the world-class item so easily.
"I can only offer you two world-class items."
Ainz spoke to Roya in a humble tone.
Roya picked at his ear, looking like he hadn't heard clearly, which made Ainz furious.
Roya held up five fingers and smiled at Ainz, saying, "Five items. Give me five World-Class Items, and I'll leave."
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Ainz refused without even thinking.
Five world-class artifacts represent a considerable fortune, even for the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Roya's smile began to fade, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Ainz. The young man's voice was somewhat low as he said, "It seems you still have a trump card up your sleeve. Is it this trump card that gives you the confidence to contend with me?"
"Even if you say that, five world-class items are far too many! It's simply impossible!"
Ainz roared at Roa, almost screaming.
However, Roya remained calm. He simply said, "Five world-class items in exchange for the existence of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Which do you think is worth it?"
Ainz fell silent, his bone hand clenched into a fist, his gaze fixed on Roya. However, Roya paid no attention to Ainz's murderous gaze.
"Let me put it this way: if you can't give me five world-class items, I don't mind wiping you all out."
"I believe you can see that I don't really care about you. What I really want are those world-class items. Ainz, if your existence brings me more benefits, I'm willing to give you a chance to live. Conversely, if I feel that your death would bring me more benefits, then I will kill you without hesitation."
"It all depends on your choice."
Roya pressed on relentlessly, his words leaving Ainz pale, his eyes gleaming with crimson light. He was truly feeling hopeless at that moment.
Five world-class props.
Five items in total.
World-class items are not something you can just grab any old thing.
World-class items are closely related to the world view of the game YGGDRASIL.
The World Tree YGGDRASIL was covered with countless leaves, but one day a giant monster appeared and devoured these leaves, causing the leaves to fall one by one until only nine leaves remained.
These nine leaves are the precursors to the nine worlds of Asgard, Alfheir, Vanaheir, Nidavellir, Midgard, Jotunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim.
However, the monster that devours leaves is relentlessly closing in on the last nine leaves. Players embark on an adventure into the unknown to protect their world—this is the game's backstory.
So what do these World Items represent? They're like fallen leaves—meaning one World Item equals one world. Therefore, in the lore, World Items possess immense power; in reality, many World Items possess abnormally high power. Players have even expressed concerns that such items might severely disrupt game balance, but the developers have firmly stated: "The possibility of a world is not that small."
There is absolutely no intention to update these balance disruptors.
Among the world-class items, almost all of which are balance disruptors, there are also items known as "Twenty," twenty items with unparalleled extraordinary abilities.
In the game, players who possess world-class items will have a buff displayed on their status bar – WORLD.
It signifies the ultimate protection of an entire world. To remain unaffected by the effects of World-Class Items, one must either possess a World-Class Item or become a special class. Ainz Ooal Gown possesses the most World-Class Items of all guilds, a total of eleven (originally twelve, one of which was taken away), while the guild with the second-most World-Class Items only has three.
In other words, despite Ainz's vast wealth, Roja's offer was tantamount to asking for half of Ainz's fortune, which Ainz naturally could not accept.
At the very least, he cannot agree to that now.
"Five world-class items are still too many. Besides, while we may not be your match, that doesn't mean you can destroy us."
Ainz still didn't budge. He stared sharply at Roya, but this time, his tone carried a hint of desperation.
Roya was somewhat surprised by the other party's attitude. After thinking for a moment, Roya realized that Ainz still harbored a sliver of hope.
"Sigh, really, I know you have a trump card up your sleeve, isn't it just those two [twenty] items?"
Ainz was not shocked that Roja had revealed his thoughts. These things were not secrets to the players. Roja knew so much, so it was impossible for him not to know this most basic, yet most important, information.
The original work mentions several pieces of information related to the number twenty.
The Saint-Slaying Spear: A spear capable of completely erasing its target, but at the cost of the user also being completely erased. Once data is erased by this World-Class Item, there is no way to recover it except by using other World-Class Items to revive; neither paid items nor resurrection magic will help.
The Five Elements' Mutual Restraint: You can request YGGDRASIL to modify some parts of the magic system.
When this item was used, the manufacturing company found it very difficult to change the world by keeping the original data of the World Item holders in the system. So, as an exception, after sending an apology letter to the other World Item holders and giving them an item as compensation, they modified everyone's system uniformly.
The Ring of Eternal Calamity: It can force the manufacturing company to change the scope of the system even more than the "Five Elements Mutual Restraint". Other guilds once used this item to completely seal off one of the nine game worlds for a month, and during this time they seized the mines occupied by Ainz Ooal Gown.
(The author stated in a Twitter reply that the Eternal Serpent Ring can copy the abilities of other World Items, but only with the consent of the operating company.)
The aforementioned items are not even considered the upper echelons of the 20s. Among them, the strongest World Item, the [World Will], possesses an almost monstrous effect: it can continuously grow stronger without any limit. Even at its peak, when all members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick were present, a single enemy possessing this item was enough to conquer the entire stronghold.
In short, when it comes to items involving the number twenty, even Roya has to admit that he does have to be careful when dealing with these world-class items.
It was precisely because of the two [20] World-Class Items that Ainz possessed that Roya did not immediately kill him.
Otherwise, faced with such overwhelming wealth, Luo Ya wouldn't have said much; he would have just grabbed it first.
As the saying goes, treasures of nature belong to those with virtue, and Luo Ya thinks he's quite good, destined to be with this treasure.
Unfortunately, Ainz is no pushover either. If he is pushed too far, he might use those two [Twenty] items, which would give Roya a real headache.
More importantly, Roya did not know which of the [20] items Ainz possessed, and therefore had no specific countermeasures.
But even if Ainz wanted to bargain, Roja wouldn't let Ainz succeed so easily. Although he didn't know what kind of [20] item Ainz possessed, Roja still showed a confident expression, looking extremely arrogant.
