Secondly, a piece of sad news came from the capital: the death of the Golden Princess Lana.
Despite her seemingly sadistic and sadistic appearance, Lana is actually quite popular in the kingdom.
This level of popularity is quite common even among adventurers.
That said, Lana's popularity had reached an exaggerated level, with adventurers even dividing the people in the capital into two types of nobles.
One type is a piece of trash like a pig, and the other is Lana.
It is evident that the news of Lana's death caused an immediate uproar.
Of course, while the crowd was in an uproar, what they felt most about last night was a deep sense of fear.
Yes, it was fear.
Roya and the Great Tomb of Nazarick nearly destroyed half of the capital. If it weren't for the Blue Rose's efforts to evacuate the people, and Roya's deliberate decision to move the battlefield to the desolate outskirts of the capital, even so, half of the capital would still have been reduced to ruins and ashes. A large number of houses collapsed, and some unfortunate souls were even accidentally killed by the aftershocks.
It's fair to say that since last night's battle, not only the general public but also adventurers harbor a deep sense of unease.
"If we have to fight like this a few more times, we'll all die here."
"Seriously, why are there so many monsters?!"
"Can't we even stay in the capital now?"
This is what the current residents and adventurers say most often.
Even more outrageous rumors circulated that some nobles in the capital had fled with their wealth, either to neighboring countries or back to the countryside.
With rumors flying everywhere and true and false information overlapping, panic is almost inevitable.
After the adventurer being questioned recounted most of the information he knew, he was initially somewhat reluctant, but when he caught a glimpse of the fine steel adventurer's token on Roya's waist, his expression instantly turned solemn.
Someone shouted, "Lord Roya has arrived! Everyone, keep your voices down!"
The noisy atmosphere in the arena instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to Luo Ya.
A person's name is their shadow.
If we're talking about who has the highest prestige in the capital, it has to be Roya.
At this moment, everyone looked at Roya with fear and dread, but even more so with admiration.
In the past, people wouldn't have shown so many complicated expressions, but this time, everyone's attitude was very unified.
The reason is quite simple: this rumor contains the following message.
The one who unleashed that dazzling sword light and fought against the evil forces was none other than Roya, the Steel-level adventurer!
According to reliable sources, if Roya hadn't intervened, the enemy would very likely have directly occupied or even destroyed the entire kingdom.
However, with this great man standing right in front of them, how could they not feel awe?
"My lord."
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the guild leader immediately scurried out, approaching Roya with a humble, even fawning, smile.
"Sir, is there anything we can do for you?"
The guild leader was extremely humble, practically bowing and scraping before Roya, almost kneeling down in front of him.
Luo Ya glanced at the other party. The president in front of him was a fat man, and his flattery looked somewhat ridiculous.
However, Luo Ya didn't seem to care too much. He simply said, "Well, it's nothing. I just came to take a look."
The guild leader hurriedly said to the adventurers around him, "Hurry up and disperse, don't disturb the adults."
If it were anyone else, these hot-tempered adventurers would have spat in their faces long ago.
However, the person they needed to yield to right now was none other than Roya, so they obediently made way for him.
Luo Ya didn't stand on ceremony and glanced at the mission leaderboard.
Not much has changed. Most of the top-level tasks have disappeared. Those were the most difficult and challenging tasks, which only adventurers of the Steel rank could accept.
In the past, almost every six months would see one or two of these tasks disappear. However, now the task list is only filled with a few scattered tasks.
These are all things that Luo Ya has accomplished in the past few months. Tasks that would be challenging for ordinary people are nothing special to Luo Ya, and he can handle them with ease.
The only troublesome part is that finding the corresponding monster for the quest takes some time.
Luo Ya glanced at it and shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing Roya's expression, the guild leader quickly asked, "Is something troubling you, sir?"
"Oh, I just feel like there aren't many missions to take on."
The guild leader quickly flattered, "This is because of your exceptional strength, sir. You've accepted no fewer than thirty missions this month that require you to be level 100 or higher."
Luo Ya nodded slightly and casually said, "That's true, but there's nothing else to do after that."
The president was slightly taken aback, then suddenly smiled and said, "Does Your Excellency want to find something to do?"
"This is natural."
The guild leader narrowed his eyes and quickly said, "Then, sir, our guild is willing to entrust you with a special mission to find out what happened in last night's battle. What do you think?"
The adventurers, who had been listening intently, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this. If it were anyone else, they would have definitely started to jeer.
But in front of Roya, they could only stand obediently.
"This?" Roya's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he began to consider things in his mind.
He understood what the guild leader meant: he wanted to obtain information about Ainz and his group.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
The reason why the adventurers are showing such panicked expressions is entirely because this incident happened so suddenly that they didn't even have time to react before being attacked by a mysterious force.
More importantly, this mysterious force is not human, but a mutant. How could the people of the capital not be afraid of a powerful mutant with whom they had no information?
Of course, if Roya really leaked Ainz's information, these people's fear would probably turn into despair, right?
After all, Ainz has four or five super-ranked spells, a whole bunch of tenth-rank spells, and countless spells below tenth rank.
For a nation where the fifth rank is like a savior, this blow is far too heavy.
Just as Roya was about to say something, a loud voice came from the side.
"Hey, you'd better not spread information about that monster around here. No, frankly, I don't think you should know it at all."
Roya looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl wearing armor and a headdress.
The other person had dazzling blond hair and emerald green eyes that stared directly at Roya. Who else could it be but Lajus?
Roya's gaze met the other's first. The two looked at each other, and Lajus said, "We meet again, senior."
When the Blue Rose addressed them as "senior," the expressions of everyone in the room became even more resolute.
At this moment, he was even more convinced that Roya was the mysterious master.
After all, even the Blue Rose Squad, who are also Steel-ranked adventurers, addressed each other as "senior." Doesn't that say something?
Luo Ya did not correct the other person's form of address, but nodded, which was considered a greeting.
The guild leader glared at Lajus with displeasure on his face. Although his tone was still humble, it was clearly different from when he spoke to Roya.
"Miss Lajus, what do you mean by that? Isn't gathering intelligence on the enemy precisely what our Adventurers' Guild should be doing?"
Lajus wasn't annoyed by the guild leader's attitude. She simply smiled and said, "Sometimes, the more accurate the information, the more it can erode people's confidence. You must have seen many such cases in your long tenure in the guild, right?"
The chairman's expression remained unchanged. He took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said earnestly, "Don't we still have Lord Roya in our country? It was only yesterday that Lord Roya intervened and saved our country. If those enemies come to bother us again, Lord Roya will surely step in as well, won't he?"
The president's words seemed to be using Roya as a shield, and Laju frowned, her gaze towards the president becoming somewhat disgusted.
Roya didn't care about the president's little scheme. He directly refuted the president's last sentence, saying, "Oh, that was just a coincidence. I was also partly responsible for the incident, so I chose to step in and stop them."
"But if you want me to keep helping you, then I can only say I'm sorry."
Luo Ya smiled at everyone and then said, "After all, I'm not from this country. I've done my best to help. As for anything more, that's up to you."
Roya gave the same answer as Zetsu Shitsumei, but this answer was too cruel for everyone.
Their faces showed varying degrees of fear, and some adventurers couldn't even sit still any longer, hurriedly asking, "Sir, without you, how can we defeat those evil minions?"
Chapter 448 Information about the Nameless Spellbook
"Yes, sir, we are not as powerful as you. If you do not take action, we will be unable to resist them if they attack again!"
Everyone offered their opinions, their attitudes sincere, though their words revealed anxiety and fear.
Even so, Roya still said calmly, "No."
Everyone's expressions quickly turned pale, and even Lajus, who had spoken earlier, became somewhat dejected, and the atmosphere in the room fell into a deathly silence.
Looking at the silent expressions on everyone's faces, Luo Ya thought for a moment and realized that if they were to let these guys lose their fighting spirit, things would become very difficult in the future.
Luo Ya paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "In short, I also have my own difficulties. However, I have reached an agreement with the other side regarding your next move. If they start massacring ordinary people and civilians, I will also intervene to stop them and start a war with them."
This can be seen as Luo Ya's way of giving everyone a guarantee, so that they don't think that everything is over.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ya could clearly feel that the morale of those around him seemed to have risen slightly.
The adventurer who was closer to Roya's eyes lit up. He said, "So, you're really not going to just stand by and do nothing about us, are you?"
